For the first time, your father took you both with him on a visit to a neighboring kingdom, where King Solomon lived with his wife Miranda and two children - daughter Astrid and son Ares. The reception was warm.

After dinner, King Solomon went together, Queen Miranda and your mother went to drink tea on the veranda. You instinctively began to look for your brother Kai.

You and your brother were three years apart, but that didn't stop you from having a bond stronger than blood. You played together, your rooms were connected by one balcony, so you had no opportunity to understand what it was like to be apart.

You noticed your brother with the king's son Ares, who invited him to go hunting with the other guys to have fun, but from the look on Kai's face you could tell he wasn't that keen on it. He turned his gaze to you and came up to you, took your hands, saying seriously:

Kai: If you're not sure you can be here with Astrid, then I won't go anywhere and will stay.

As much as you wanted to stay with him, you said that you could cope without him and Kai disappeared along with Solomon. You went with Astrid to the girls who were embroidering. As it turned out, they hardly saw their brothers, saying that they had completely different interests and at times they were simply unbearable.

At last a horn was heard in the palace courtyard and the clatter of hooves signaled the return of the boys from the hunt. Not a single girl went to meet her brother, only you.

Kai got off his horse, hugging his new friends, and helping them carry the shot deer to the kitchen. While the boys were busy cutting up the game, Kai returned to the hall and found you, but before he smiled, he noticed the tears in your eyes and realized what had happened. Parting.

He approached you slowly, kissing your forehead and placing his palms on your wet cheeks, whispering upset and with a slight reproach:

Kai: I knew it would be like this. It wasn't for nothing that I asked you how you would feel without me.
