The man cupped her face with a worry creased expression and placed a kiss on her forehead gently, his eyes never leaving her face.
"I missed my sister badly, but why did you suddenly start crying? Is he torturing you? Tell me, I will do my best to free you from his clutches."
Prince Salvatore aka Salvi was her younger brother, handsome young man who overtook the throne of Rosario kingdom right after Princess Syna got married.
The affectionate younger brother was clearly against this marriage and opposed as much as he could, until Princess Syna herself took the decision of marrying the King of the enemy kingdom.
No matter how strict and man of words Salvatore was he always had a soft corner for his elder sister. Disciplined, well mannered and obviously trained in such an atmosphere to become a King one day, the former King raised him well and quite perfectly, the Queen poured love and every good quality in their children making them good beings.
"No, brother it's not like that. I just missed you all and ...Ow! these tears!"
Princess Syna now a Queen returned to her kingdom after a month of her marriage.
Prince Salvatore was out on a trip to another neighbouring kingdom when Princess Syna got married, but arrived as soon as he heard the news of her arrival.

Although, not blood related to him in the current life, yet Brandon still held those brotherly feelings about Syna, that was the sole reason why the Lord of hell, himself, protected and watched over the lady since her childhood.
He knew Syna's whereabouts and had kept an eye on her keenly, watching over his sister as she grew up in the orphanage. The situation turned out to be in his favour when Lolita aka Hestia arrived the building after escaping from the vampire kingdom gradually her tranquilizing scent confirmed the Lord's hunch that she was his mate.
As the ladies grew up into fine ladies, Hades stopped to protect his sister because the lord came to know about the truth of Lolita being Syna's guardian, as Lolita's father had promised to give away her in the service of Ghost Lord's bride, as a gratitude for saving the vampire kingdom.
Moreover, the accident played an important role in Hades's decision of not clinging to his sister, the day when the Lord had accidentally saw his sister half naked during her menstruation and realized that Lolita aka Hestia was 'unknowingly' protecting Syna as her best friend and he don't have to be around now.

Little did everyone know a mysterious guy was also spying, which was sitting outside on the branch of the tree, which was opposite to Syna' window. The man had his face glued to the other side in a posture that his back was facing her window.
No matter how merciless or hot headed he was, his mind refused to function when he arrived near to her window disguised in the cloak of night, although by now he had a little pink shade around his cheeks. Maybe he had accidentally seen the lady in the indecent clothing, and immediately averted his gaze to prevent his eyes from seeing such sinful sight again.

Punished by the heavens, Syna's memories of past life were snatched away, it might seem a blessing rather a curse, right? But what if you couldn't recognize your own brother, you don't remember what had happened in your past few years, how brutally you killed someone under a spell, the person who loved you, vowed and became your mate?
How would you feel, after missing a huge chunk of a memory which was important to you, and what if all those things are disclosed to you in a very wrong moment.

Hades had approached Syna, on that so called date because he wanted to search out his mate, after disconnecting himself from the two ladies, Brandon knew that only Syna could lead him to his mate and that happened with the help of those clothes, Hades crept into the apartment of Lolita when Syna was at her home, and watched over the ladies the whole night, perverted deed?
[ Flashback from chapter twenty five / 25 ]
I picked up a knife and headed back towards the door where the knocking was not ordered anymore and I became assured that it was some thief, after all who would knock at your door at midnight.
"I think this is the new trick of thieves. Do not worry you idiots, I will spank your butts today!"
I was sure to beat them off as I was skilled in taekwondo, which helped me throughout the school and college to beat the butts of bullies.
"Here I go!"
I placed my hand on the brown door handle, sighed and positioned myself for the attack. I counted to the two and opened the damn door, who was already begging by the smashing of those fists.
"Huh? No one?"
The door flung open and I became quizzical upon the sight, no one was there. I stepped out a little to peek outside.
"It's strange no one is here, and not a single bird is in the arcade, then who the hell knocked?"
I slammed the door shut and placed the knife on the shelf.
"Never mind, it must be some stray cat."
Shrugging, I headed towards the room where a cozy bed and satin sheets were waiting for me to hug them.
Little did Syna know that when she had opened the door, a shadow laying on the floor like a liquid, crept into the apartment, which further took the shape of her own shadow in order to remain hidden from her eyes.
"So, here she is hiding, Miss Bride."
She left to sleep but the mysterious shadow took a solid form of a man, who was invisible to her eyes but remained rooted there, grinning at her naive actions.
