He smiled and nodded: "Miss Katya."
"Oh! It's blood! Are you hurt?" Katya exclaimed, pointing at his blood-stained fingers.
"Hmm? Blood?" Alexei glanced down and chuckled.
"No, this is not blood."
He took a deep sniff, his expression one of pure bliss: "It's rose syrup, miss."
"Oh, I see."
Katya didn't dwell on the question any further, but instead asked, "Would you be interested in dancing with me at the banquet tonight?"
Alexei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't think your black dress is pretty enough. I hate black; it looks like mourning clothes."
Katya's expression stiffened slightly, but Alexei had already walked over with a smile.
"Haha, brother is still so clueless about romance."
The blond, blue-eyed boy leaned against the wall and teased, "Brother, Katya is Father's preferred marriage partner. Isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"
Alexei raised an eyebrow coldly: "Then you'll take it for me, Kirill?"
His younger brother, Kirill, immediately begged for mercy, shaking his arm:
"Please don't, my brother! I don't want to be buried so young!"
Brother, if Father tries to get someone to help me, you must help me!
Alexei chuckled and touched his blond hair, which resembled his father's more than his own: "Don't worry, your brother is here."
That night, the mysterious young master of the Walkerwoff family returned, and the power structure in the southern part of the North Sands was reshaped.
...
"Bang!"
An expensive medieval artifact was smashed to pieces on the ground.
Ice chips were scattered all over the ground, and several were embedded in Daniel's kneeling body.
Daniel knelt upright, without moving an inch.
Alexei was trembling with anger, but he didn't let the camphor penetrate deeper.
His eyes were bloodshot: "Why did you betray me, Daniel!"
Daniel calmly replied, "Young Master should first ask me who is behind me and why I seem somewhat immature."
"Shut up! You have no right to lecture me!" Alexei roared.
He couldn't understand why the person he had grown up with and always regarded as an older brother would betray him and put him in his current predicament.
Daniel sighed softly and answered his question: "Young Master, there are other things in your heart that don't entirely belong to this family."
This family needs a leader who is fully committed to power, and you are not suitable.
Alexei froze, then suddenly staggered backward and laughed absurdly.
He, Mikhail, chose to give up his dream that he had pursued for many years and return home because of his father's entrustment and his family's responsibility!
But for Daniel, it became a matter of having distracting thoughts!
“So,” Alexei stared intently at him, as if trying to find the answer in his pupils,
Who is the person you want to be in power?
Daniel looked at him with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Alexei suddenly froze, his heart plummeting to the bottom of an icy abyss:
"It's Kirill...my brother?"
