Yibo was terrified once he came inside his room where Zhan was already waiting for him, but seeing the frown and the fear on Yibo's face, Zhan also became concerned.

"What's wrong?" He asked and Yibo has banged his hands on the table as he looked into space.

Zhan came beside him, "Hey... what happened?"

"Zhan... Simon... he...is not my child..."

"What the hell are you saying?!" Zhan asked with horror.

Yibo closed his eyes. "How do I explain this? He is a person, he is different he is not a child."

Zhan made Yibo look at him and asked, "What are you saying?"

Yibo's eyes were filled with tears, "Zhan..." Yibo then told him everything, what he read and what he saw and what Simon said.

And Zhan had the same reaction as Yubo, that was of fear.

Fear of the terrifying power to turn back time, fear of the fact that the person they were assuming was a child was not a child.

And Yibo was terrified because he saw the kingdom burn and he also heard Aurelia saying that Simon helped her... 

"I saw the empire burn, and dead bodies, "Yibo said, "And Aurelia was there she thanked Simon... Simon helped cause so much destruction like a monster..." Yibo's eyes were filled with tears, "Zhan... I don't want to think that my son is a monster... is he really my son?"

Zhan stepped back, "So what are you going to do? leave him to send him to temple?"

"No!" Yibo said quickly, "Of course not never... but..."

"How about you talk to him... and let him explain... I mean if he really came back in time then there has to be a huge reason and when you said that the Empire was destroyed... maybe he wants to..."

"He helped her... Zhan..." Yibo clenched his fists, "If my son is really what I saw in that dream then..."

Zhan quickly said, "Then what?"

"Then I won't let him cause destruction again... I will..."

Zhan grabbed his hand and turned him around "Then what will you do?!"

"Lock him up in a cage."

Zhan sighed and sat back on the chair, while Yibo sat on another before Zhan spoke, "Aurelia will be arriving tomorrow..."

Yibo closed his eyes because of how much stress everything around him was causing him, Zhan added, "And she will be staying in the mansion... she can interact with Simon when she wants and she will have full rights as a mother and you cannot interfere."

Zhan completed, Yibo was close to going on a murder rampage.

However Zhan got up, "I should leave..." but Yibo grabbed his hand, "Can't you stay here tonight?"

Zhan laughed, "your wish is my command."

Yibo smiled at him and pulled him closer, Zhan was not standing beside Yibo who was sitting and Yubo gently put his head on Zhan's stomach, "I'll say this once so remember that..." Yibo said, "I don't like or will ever like Aurelia.

I only married her because of the imperial decree and I only slept with her once after she made me drunk... so you have nothing to worry about."

Zhan smiled as he gently patted Yibo's head, "I'll say this once as well... I trust you and don't worry about me."

~~~~~
Simon didn't remember when was the last time he cried so badly and so long.

Now his eyes were red and swollen and his head ached a lot.

His father now thinks of him as a monster, great, just great.

He was still sniffling once the maids came in and helped him get dressed.

"Young lord today, your mother is coming you must be happy."

Simon looked at the maid with a disgusted face, "Do I look like I am blissful."

The maid was quiet but she spoke again, "But young master your eyes are swollen you must have not slept because you were waiting for your mother."

Simon had enough he closed his eyes and sighed. 

After he got dressed he walked out with his nanny, towards the gates and Yibo was already there, Simon cleared his throat and smiled, "Good morning father."

Yibo looked at him but instead of returning the greeting he just gave him a small smile, and to say that Simon's heart broke would be an understatement.

He just sighed and looked at the gates, very soon a carriage arrived and a woman with silver hairs and a beautiful flawless round face stepped down, wearing a green gown. And a necklace of pearls on her neck.

Aurelia was a beautiful woman.

She walked towards the door and came face to face with Yibo and greeted him and he returned her greeting before she looked at Simon.

She looked at him up and down with a bored face and there was not even an ounce of love in her face, but she smiled and her smile was a forceful one.

What a terrible actress she is.

But he was fooled by this terrible actress, "Simon... do you recognize me?' She said with a sweet voice.

Simon smiled and his smile was a mocking one this bitch left him when he was just a baby, how the hell will he remember her so he replied, "Yes I do... you are the witch that haunts the woods right?"

Aurelia's smile vanished and she looked with irritation at Simon and Yibo smiled and so did the servants.

Aurelia felt awkward, "No, Simon I am your mother..."

Simon gasped, "I didn't know my mother was a witch."

Aurelia clenched her fist, "I am not a witch."

Simon replied, "But you look like one, like silver hair and pale face and you look sickly."

Aurelia glared at him, "You!!"

"Simon" Yibo said, and standing near him he place his hand on his back and said, "he is your mother so show her some respect."

And Simon's behavior completely changed and he smiled and politely greeted Aurelia, "Good morning mother, welcome to our humble abode, we are honored that you graced us with your presence."

Yibo smiled again and Aurelia raised a brow before she nodded and looked at Yibo, who ordered the servants to show Aurelia her room.

And once she was gone, Yibo place his hand on Simon's shoulder, who looked up at him, "Let's talk."
