Big Mansion, Santiago City....
He strolled right into the dinning room with his hands still in his pockets. He headed straight for the dinning table.
The dinning table was a massive work of masterpiece. A table designed for luxury. It was long and had a intricate designs carved on it. By the sides of the table were seats, made similarly to the dinning table.
At the dinning table were Drake's parents and two other little individuals. Apart from that, there are seven seats in total and Drake's parents occupied two seats while another two were occupied by the two little individuals. The remaining three seats were empty.
Over the years after Drake's birth, Lady Sarah, Drake's mother had birthed two other children (the two little individuals occupying the other two seats at the dinning table). They were actually twins. Two cute girls with different behaviours and characters.
"Good morning, mom. Good morning, dad"
Drake greeted as he walked into the dinning room.
His parents were well into their breakfast. They both raised their heads and acknowledged his presence.
"Morning, son. How are you?"
Drake's mother was the first to speak. She looked to have aged a little after eight years, at least now in her mid forties.
"I'm fine".
Drake immediately occupied a seat, by the left side of the table, just a little farther from his sisters.
His sisters, Kora and Kira, are identical. Being twins, they had various characters. They were both five year old but Kira was born first, making her the senior among the two.
About four guards are in the dinning room, standing in positions and if not wrong, were in possessions of guns. Five maids are scurrying around, serving food and drinks for the Governor's family.
A maid moved with practiced ease, and served a plate right in Drake's front. She had a smile on her face as she served juice and water.
After serving Drake his breakfast, she retreated backwards, with another practiced ease.
"Good morning, brother Drake!"
Drake's sisters, Kira and Kora, both greeted in unison. Their high pitched voice, actually taking Drake by surprise. He smiled at them, his smile charming and sweet as ever did wonders to his sisters.
"Morning cuties. How are you today? Hope you guys had a nice night?"
Drake's sisters nodded in unison. Their behaviors so alike but still different in all ways.
"Okay then, carry on with your food and remember, no talking while at the table".
Drake's sisters once again nodded while giggling. They both had smiled on their faces as they continued with their eating.
Drake's mother, who's at the other side of the table, watched the exchange between her son and his sisters, she smiled satisfactorily.
"You seemed to have slept on the right side of the bed, Drake".
Drake's mother said, her voice composed as ever. She used her cutleries on her food with practiced ease that showed her nobility and life of living in luxury. Her nails are well panicured with a yellow colour on them. Her lips were lined with red and her face, never failing in showing that she applied makeup. Her makeup made her little wrinkles almost invisible.
Drake took a moment to ponder on the words before answering. He had already started eating his breakfast of bacon and eggs. A cup of milk placed by his plate of food.
"I think I did, mother. Although, I didn't really sleep early".
Drake's mother hummed softly. She smacked her lips after chewing down a bite of bacon.
"Then you should try to sleep early from now on, but still.... I'm glad you're looking well and fine, this morning. You know, it's always good to have a positive start in the morning".
Drake kept quiet hearing his mother's words. He answered after a beat of silence.
"I think you are right, mother. I'll keep that in mind".
Lady Sarah once again hummed softly.
Both Kira and Kora are silent, especially hearing both their mother and brother having a little conversation. They've been groomed right from a young age to never talk or interrupt anytime seniors were having discussions.
Let's say, Drake's sisters are well behaved. On top of that, they know very well how to behave themselves in public, especially as they were daughters of the governor himself. They, as a family, do have a reputation to uphold in the public's eyes.
After Drake and Lady Sarah's little exchange, the whole dinning table is overtaken by silence. Well, except for the sounds made by cutleries being used and the occasional assistance of two maids in helping the twins eat properly, there were no other sound made.
After much silence, Governor Leo finally decided to make himself known in the gathering. All through the breakfast, he has been quiet, as he usually is. He's the type who always love being distant and thoughtful during breakfast.
Governor Leo is a tall man with pale skin. He has a well trimmed moustache and a relatively cold aura. He has black shirt hair, cold voice that could send chills into almost anyone and a stern look that gave, 'don't mess with me vibe'. Drake clearly inherited his cold voice from his father, the resemblance is clear.
Although, Drake's father can be cold to almost everyone, he is never cold to his family. It's like he saves his soft spot for his family, and his family alone. This shows how much he loves his family very much. He's also the type who doesn't trust easily, especially when it comes to politics, both political allies and rivals.
Despite the fact he had been silent since Drake's arrival at the dinning table, Governor Leo has been sensitive to the little things that went on.
Like the two twins who were giggling about something unknown while eating, Drake's calm exterior and his wife's elegant way of eating.
"Sorry that I didn't respond to your greeting, son".
Governor Leo's sayings piqued everyone's attention. The twins halted their consumption and turned to their father, so did Drake who was the one the words were directed to.
Drake stared at his father for a while before it clicked that,he was the one the sayings were directed at.
"No worries dad. I'm not offended".
"But still, I should have given a nod of acknowledgement". Governor Leo continued onwards with a hint of remorse. "I had a lot on my mind, so I didn't pay attention".
Drake grinned. His face brightening up as he gazed at his father.
"Like I said dad, there's nothing to worry about".
Governor Leo nodded, before returning to his meal.
Moments later, Governor Leo stood up and announced his departure. "I'm done".
Lady Sarah looked at him, then at his plate, to see that his plate was empty.
"You ate well honey!"
Lady Sarah said as she stretched her hand to caress her husband's shoulders. Governor Leo cleaned the corners of his lips with a napkin after drinking from a glass of water.
"Yeah, I did". Governor Leo smirked as he turned to his wife, his hand going for her own on his shoulders. "Seeing my family eating together, yet another day, gave me a reason to eat well".
Lady Sarah smiled even more, her hand tightening around her husband's hand.
"You could be such a sweet talker sometimes".
Governor Leo grinned. He leaned in and pecked Lady Sarah on the cheek.
"I'm the one you married. You knew what you were in for".
"I definitely knew".
Lady Sarah said, her smile still attached to her face.
Governor Leo got up on his feet, ready to exit the dinning room. The head seat he had sat on, scraped the floor noisily as he stood up. His big muscular stature, coming out for the show. In all, the governor is quite handsome.
"I'll be heading out to the office. I'm not sure I'll be home early, but I'll make sure to call you later in the day".
Governor Leo said as he moved behind his wife and gave her another peck on her cheek.
"Okay then. But make sure you come back home safe".
"Yeah, I will".
Governor Leo then turns to his children.
"Hope y'all have a great day, kids. Never forget daddy loves you all". Governor Leo said as she moved around the dinning table to plant a kiss, on the foreheads of each of his children. "Especially you Kira". Governor Leo gave a wink at Kira before turning around to exit the dinning room.
Kira giggled hearing her father's sweet words and seeing his charming wink. She looked at her mother and her sister.
"Mummy! Kora! Did you see that?..... Did you see what daddy did?"
Lady Sarah chuckled, so did Drake.
"Yes I did, hon. Your daddy can be a lot to take in".
Kira laughed in pride.
"See Kora, daddy winked at me, he didn't wink at you".
Kira mocked her sister. Kora humphed in annoyance.
"Don't be so proud. I'm sure daddy will wink another time".
Kora said, comforting herself.
Drake could only grin as he and his sisters started bickering about who would be winked at next and who would not be winked at .
@@@
After breakfast, Lady Sarah had announced that she would be leaving the mansion and be heading out to the boutique. She would be taking the twins with her.
While as for Drake, he had asked his mother if he could accompany Josh, his best friend to playground event for kids, which his mother agreed to.
And so, Drake can be seen moving through the long hallway, currently heading back to his room. He's totally full after eating a lot this morning and since he has nothing to do until 10am, when he's best friend would be coming to pick him up, he decided to go back to his room until then.
But unknown to Drake, today would make a fated meeting with his other half.
The other half of the Angel of war.
Let's see what fate have in store for the two kids, Drake and Lucian, who are clearly far apart but close and connected in everyway.
