A huge wave of nostalgia hits you after stepping into the gates of the Bull Family's residence. How many years has it been since you last visited? You can't remember, but a small smile graces your lips at the remembrance of an invitation from the boy you used to care for whenever Demon Bull King and Princess Iron Fan were away. Red Son himself stated that he wanted you over for dinner. The letter did not say anything else when you received it, so without another second to spare, your legs take you inside.

It's just like how you recalled. The lodge was like a maze, yet you pass by the traps set up like it were nothing. Huh, guess it paid off being a babysitter after all these ages. You make your way to the dining area, where a feast is prepared on the smooth surface of the elongated table. Though, no sign of anyone.

"Mother and Father are away." A voice echoed. Red Son arrives, standing at the other end of the room, with a hardened glare set straight at you. It eventually softened up at the confirmation that it truly was you.

"You're late."

The kid had a hot temper like his father; you knew that. But it seems like he doesn’t feel like scolding you at the moment. He sounded relieved. With a slight bow of his head, he stays.

The prince made a promise to himself that he wouldn't bow to anyone. To the likes of someone else other than family who he deemed superior? No. But you? You're an exception. You're special. You may have gone through some changes as it had been long, yet he knows it's still the same loving soul who looked after him and taught him all those incredible tricks about bending his fire.

You're his idol, his mentor. You're family to him.
