Shared to five

Chapter 3

Levia

The king of Levia, Louis was on the throne, and infront of him, there were five brothers who he considered as five starts of his kingdom. As they were the one due to which his kingdom was double the size in just 5 years and was one of the most powerful kingdoms.

"Your majesty, you remembered us?", Tyler said bowing infront of him with his four brothers.

"There is a letter for you five", said the king

"From where?"

"From Dark cloves", said the king when five of them stares at him in surprise because in 20 years that was the first letter from that kingdom

"What does that bastard need from us now", shouted Vigour clenching his arm going toward the throne

"Hear it yourself", said the king and made his advisor read the whole letter which came in a red box embedded with gold

Advisor began to read it,

"My dear brothers,

I know this letter might be unexpected for you and I can understand you might be shocked as this is the first letter from me in 20 years but I want to assure you that it doesn't mean I didn't miss you. Along with me and my 9 brothers, we always talk about you and have been listening to the rumors of your strength and couldn't help but to be proud.

Now I think as a Prince of Dark clove it's now time for you to return to your home kingdom. I have organized a feast in your welcome on the full moon next month. I hope you all will be there to enjoy it. And convey my greetings to mother. I want to assure all five of you that the gate of Dark clove will always be open for you and mother"

After he read the letter there was an unknown silence in the hall for a minute,

"I don't know what game he wants to play now. All this year he didn't even have the courtesy to ask if we were okay now he has invited us to some lame feast", Vigour shouted again

"Calm down, Vigour. Maybe he didn't try to contact us earlier but now he seems to invite us to our home kingdom genuinely.

"Big brother you are just too naïve to understand his ploy. All this time our maternal uncle gave us his shelter and let us flourish here, we are happy here and we aren't going anywhere", said Allure turning toward Tyler

"Allure is right big brother, we don’t need his pity or kindness we are happy here. If we go there it will be for a war otherwise I can't live in peace with him on the same land"

"We are not the one to make the decision, our mother will tell us what to do and we will follow her order", shouted Tyler

"Fine, I am sure mom will think whatever we think", said Vigour looking at the king, "What do you think about that, Is it some type of trap?"

"Looking at his sudden letter I also couldn't help but think that Dravya is really onto something. I will not tell you what to do and what not to, you five are already mature and can take a relevant decision on yourself but I have to say that I was thinking of giving one of the southern villages that you five won for us to you. And you can establish your own kingdom there and become an independent nation", said the king

"It was very generous of you, your majesty. I know you sheltered us taught us various skills, made us capable of what we are right now, in other words you became our father. We were never a burden here and we are happy but Dark clove is the country where we were born, where our mother was married to. If things work out between king Dravya and us. It won’t matter if the throne will be mine or not I will still want to serve that kingdom", said Tyler

"Your patriotism and discipline have always surprised me Tyler. I know you can never take an unlawful decision"

"Thank you, your majesty", said the Tyler, and all five of them went out from the palace to their mother's Levia room.

Levia, who was the symbol of purity and motherhood was very attached to her sons. for her, her sons were her whole world.

"What made my sons remember about me today?", said Levia smiling at them. Allure ran toward her and occupied her lap at first,

"damn it, I again missed that", said Gracious sitting infront of her but meanwhile Aven managed to get a little space on the other side of her lap

"You have to find a place Gracious not always nag about not getting to sleep on mother's lap", laughed Aven.

"Hey, you all are 20 now, you can't behave like a child always", Levia said holding the ear of Aven who was screaming in pain

"Yeah mom, please make them understand. They always behave like a child and I have to manage them", Tyler also adds

"Anyway no matter how big a son gets he is never bigger for his mother, Okay", Allure says winking at Tyler who was looking at him in anger.

"By the way, what made you come here today?"

"Mom, there was a letter from Dark cloves", Tyler gasped which left Levia in shock, "Letter from Dark cloves"

"Yes mom, it was from Dravya he invited us to his kingdom"

"It is our kingdom we don't need an invitation to go there", Levia shouted in anger, Allure and Aven jerk up from her lap and tried to console her by patting her shoulder

"That is our kingdom, we have the right to go there anytime we want. All this time we have given that to Dravya. It is a tip from us to him"

"Then why we haven't done anything about it mom, that is our kingdom it is calling out for us", said Vigour

"Because I am a coward son. I am afraid for my sons, you don't know what lies within the wall of dark cloves. It is the country of wolves they are deadly so it hasn't lost any war till now. If this dispute goes to war I am afraid I will lose you five", she said shedding tears from her eyes

"Mom, we are five brothers no one can defeat us. If they are wolves we are wolves too we have the same blood flowing on our veins that used to flow in fathers. Trust me, it is better to fight in battle and die with reputation rather than living in someone's shelter and waste our strength", said Vigour

" You five are the world to me, if it wasn't for you I would have killed myself a long ago"

"Nothing is going to happen to us mother, trust us and trust your upbringing"

"I trust you sons, but it's a mother heart"

"Do you know what I wish for, to reclaim our throne and made you sit on it", said Allure holding her hands

"Mom, what do you think we should do. Don't think as a mother, think like a queen", Tyler asked kneeling down infront of her

"When you were 9 months old your father died in a fire accident and just a week after that Dravya was throned as a king. Your father was crazy for you five, he always dreamt about throning Tyler he even announced that on your naming ceremony and four of his brother being the shield of the nation. But they said he gave the throne to Dravya before dying. I just couldn't believe it. I know your father didn't use to like me but after you five came into my life it improved, he forgot about everything else and was always thinking about me and you five. When you were six months old someone continuously tried to kill you I am suspicious that the same person might have killed him and claimed Dravya as the new king. And trust me that is not possible without the help of the prime minister. I had analyzed it a long ago but if you try to rival against them you are making the king Dravya and his whole soldiers along with most of the royal workers, prime minister, and his 9 brothers your enemy. They will be thousands but you are only five so I never brought this topic as a mother but if I suggest you like a queen then I will be only saying one thing get your throne back"

"Mom, if that is the case I would want to go there and tear that bastard head with my own hand", says Vigour jerking up hitting the floor in anger

"If that is the case, I would want to know the exact truth mom, so we have to go there and if that comes out to be true I will no longer restrain my four brothers on claiming war with them", said Tyler

"Mom, if we go there, will you come with us?", asks Allure

"No, I will only be a weakness for you five, I will be here blessing for you but sons are you sure that kingdom worths it", she whimpers

"We will be alright mother, we have your blessing nothing could happen wrong with us", says Gracious, "And we have Aven he will tell us if something wrong is going to happen in future"

"I know you five are complete with each other, I just can't imagining not getting to see you for a time being"

"Don't worry mom, we will return soon"

"You know right, if something happens to one of you, you all will cease to exist"

"We know mom, we are five but one soul. We will protect eachother, nothing will happen to us"

"I always wanted to see you get married"

"Mom, marrying us a girl is going to curse herself for life. if one of us will get married then we all will get married to her as we are a single soul. We can't do that to any girl. so we have promised eachother we are never going to marry anyone"

"Is this how you are going to run your life without any girls"

"Mom, each of us is allowed to have a romantic relation we just won't get married to any of them", said Vigour

Still, it aches my heart when I think about your future"

"It's secured mom we have eachother, we don't need anything", said Aven  

"The occasion on which they invited us is 37 days from now, so we have to get on our way by tomorrow", says Tyler when Levia again starts to cry again.

"Mom please don't make us weak", says all five of them and gives her the group hug which they were going to take as a souvenier for their journey to the Dark cloves.
