Family.

Family is the most important thing in life. Whether it is assigned by birth, or chosen by you, family is important.

I lost everything for family, do I regret it? No. Will I ever? No.

It might be sad at times, but from the shadow I was cast into, I can help the one I love, the one I lost.

I hear a knock on my door.

"Why do you interrupt me my son?"

"They're here."

"You can bring them here." A short time later, my son opens the door and they enter.

"It's you, isn't it?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." I smile. "Come here."

"I can't believe it took me this long."

I laugh.

"How is she?"

"Safe."

"Good. If they get her there's nothing I can do. I don't have that much control. Nikolai has been suspicious of me for a while but the boys' council has kept him in check."

"I will protect her with my life. I know how much she means to you."

"I promised to protect her. I failed once and I can't fail again."
