Vincent was shocked "Why are you here!?"

"Well Esme got lost in town and she asked me if I could take her back home and I said yes.. So that's I did.."

"Esme? What were you doing in town?" Amaya looked her little girl.

"I heard that someone came back from Earth's surface.. I asked Akaya if I could go and she said yes.. But when I got there, I got lost.. So I asked him if he could help me get back.. He was really nice on the way. He told me everything about how he got separated from his family, how he got his heart broken, how he even got to see his love of his life get married.. I actually thought it was sad but I told him that he can make a new family with someone that'll be interested in him.."

"Is that all he said?.."

"No. He even told me that he went on wild adventures with his friends. Which he really loved! And then I said that he found something that makes him happy!"

"What else?"

"That's it. But then I found out that he's my uncle! I was so happy!" She giggles.

"You are?.." Vincent tried to hold back his anger.

"Yea! He said that he protects us from bad guys in other kingdoms! I actually think it's pretty cool! Isn't it awesome that uncle Sebastian does that! I think he's the best!" She got off her chair, running over to him and gave him a hug.

"Esme.." Sebastian looked at her surprisingly.

"All that stuff you told me was about us right?"

"I uh.." He looked at everyone "Mmph.."

"Is it true?"

He closed his eyes, sighing "Yes.. Everything she said was true.."

"I knew it!"

"I can't believe you told her that crap.." Amaya told him.

"So?"

"She doesn't deserve to know!"

"Well she's the one who asked me so.. Shouldn't you apologize to your own daughter?"

"She didn't ask you. You're lying!"

"I'm not"

"Sebastian!"

"Mommy, I did ask him"

"But why!?"

"Because he was so kind to me when he said that I could be a pretty girl! And that I can be whomever I want! He made me feel special too!" She held on tight to Sebastian.

"Esme!" She raised her hand to hit her.

Sebastian caught in time, gripping her wrist "It's not nice to hit a little girl when she's speaking the truth Ms. Faustus.." He said seriously.

Esme was frightened from her mother.

"Let go of me! I am the queen! I can do what I want with her!

Sebastian remembered from earlier in the morning.

~ FlashBack ~

"I am the Queen of Ravens. I can do what I want"

Sebastian smirked "You're not queen anymore. Amaya is. And surely, she is doing a better job than you ever did"

~ Flashback Over ~

"If you're the Queen. Then how come you can't get away from my grip.. I thought queens were suppose to be stronger"

"Now I know how dad feels when you're here!"

"Mommy stop!" Esme yelled.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"Amaya, just calm down. Please.." Claude finally said something.

"Hmph.. Fine.."

Sebastian let's go of her.

"Esme, darling.. Please let go of your uncle.." She said in a kind voice.

"I don't want to.. I.. I want to stay with him.. He makes me feel safe.."

"Oh please.." She reached over to grab her.

"No! Stop!" Esme kept her grip onto Sebastian.

"Let go Esme" Amaya tried pulling her off.

"No!!"

"Let go"

"No!!"

Sebastian sighed "Esme, listen to her ok. No matter what everything will be fine." He smiled.

She started to cry as she lets go.

"Claude can you please take her to her bedroom"

"Of course" He picked her up gently.

Esme kept crying, sobbing to Sebastian.

They walked out of the dinning room.

She saw him little by little when it the door was closing.

"See what you made her do!" Amaya slapped him.

"I didn't do anything to her."

"How can you be so calm about this!?"

"I don't know. That's how I am.." He stood up.

"Hmph.. No wonder you're weak.."

"Who are you calling weak? You're not even stronger than me"

"But I have more power"

"You know who you remind me of?"

"Who?.."

"Mom.."

"Awe~ Thank you"

"Oh.. You're quite welcome" He said sarcastically "Because you wanna know something?"

"What?"

"Mom was so weak.." He said in a serious tone, looking at her with sharp eyes.

Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Your mother was not weak!" Vincent yelled at him.

"Sebastian! Don't talk about mom like that!" Akaya said.

Akio got upset "Mom wasn't weak!! She took care of us!!"

Amaya was surprised "Mom did everything for us!!"

"She did nothing!! All she wanted to do is create chaos! She was so weak that she didn't even have the guts to tell anyone!!"

"How do you know!?"

"You have no reason to know! All I'm saying she was a weakling! Saying such bullshit! I can't believe I ever thought she was my inspiration.. But now all that woman is to me is just trash! A big pile of trash!"

"Don't talk about mother like that! She died so many years ago!"

"Mother trained us too!"

"She also protected us!"

Sebastian chuckled "All she protected you from is death. She didn't even care if we got so injured. Don't you remember she would tell the servants to take care of our wounds instead of her? Her love for us wasn't ever real at all."

Vincent stood up from the table, walking over to Sebastian.

"Go ahead and hit.. Like I'll ever care.. I don't deserve to live anyways.." Sebastian whispered.

Vincent smirked "Well then.." He kicked him in the stomach, punching him on the face "I'll surely enjoy this"

He kept doing that for a couple of minutes.

The other three couldn't go in and stop him. All they could do is just watch. Although, Amaya was enjoying it a little.

"Ugh!.. Agh!.." Sebastian groaned.

"What this? I thought you were suppose to be strong. Guess you were wrong. You're can't do anything at all like the poor and the weak.." He kicked him some more.

Sebastian coughed out blood.

"That's what I want to see. This will be your punishment for talking bad about your mother.."

"Good!" He yelled.

"Who told you that you can talk!?" Vincent kicked his chest.

Sebastian coughed more and more blood.

"Uncle Sebastian!!" Esme came running in.

"Esme! Come back!" Claude couldn't catch up to her.

"What're you doing here!?" Amaya stood up.

"I-I heard screaming.." Esme looked down.

"Well guess who's gonna scream next!" She walked over to her furiously, ready to hit her.

"No! Wait! Esme!.." Sebastian ran over to her.

"Aahh!!!" She screamed.

Sebastian grabbed her, being her shield.

Amaya got more furious, getting her pocket knife out, making deep cuts on his back.

"U-uncle Sebastian?.." She opened her eyes.

"Don't look.." He placed his hand over her eyes.

"B-but.."

"I'll be.. *cough* f-fine.."

"Ok.."

Amaya puts in a deep stab.

Sebastian coughed out a lot of blood.

"I-is that all you got?" His voice was shaky.

"Sebastian!" Claude got over to him quickly.

"I'm not done!" She was about to do it once more but instead Claude took the hit.

"Claude! No! Oh.. No!" She dropped the knife "Why did you get in the way!?"

"He doesn't deserve it.." He collapsed, being unconscious.

"Claude!" She shook him.

"My darling Sebastian! What have they done to you!?"

Sebastian looked up "Why the hell are you here?.."
