some understanding of our relationship, but you know little about my rough relationship with my twin brother, Wilfried."

"Rough is an understatement," I voiced. "Are you two mortal enemies? I'm unsure how you two can be polar opposites as identical twins."

"Coming from the incubus whose twin is a vampire," Omarion casually voiced.

Otis and I both looked over to him with mutual seething stares, which made Omarion cringe and glance away. "Hmph."

"As for your relationship with Queen Cyldrirth, we'd love a brief summary of why you kept the idea of you being a twin a secret from the world. I think that's rather important when it comes to your marriage," Otis offered.

He had a point. Before the funeral, we barely knew what Cassandra had discovered when she went to the fae lands with Dominick to discover her heritage.

Dominick said it was complicated and best if Cassandra explained the details, but that plan was blown with the change of events. Even with Queen Faith's brief reveal of Wyatt's identity, we didn't know the fine details other than Wyatt and Wilfried being two different individuals.

"The reason for our parents keeping Wilfried and I a secret in terms of our twin nature was similar reasoning as to why Cassandra and Castalia were separated at birth to be raised by families we thought we could trust. However, unlike our children's circumstances, I was raised by our mother while Wilfried was raised by our father," he revealed. "My mother was more of a nurturing individual. The very opposite of our father, who was strict and obsessed with the idea of generational power and wealth."

He paused as he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Our mother specifically held many connections with other supernaturals, particularly befriending fae, humans, and even witches. She was a free spirit who didn't let her status of queen and being a dragon shifter go to her head and prevent her from meeting new people. She easily made alliances and was well-respected in the other communities besides our dragon kingdoms. This was what shaped me to be more outgoing and look outside the box," he revealed. "However, our father was the very opposite when it came to raising Wilfried. It was all about controlling the weak, being strong, and gaining valuable wisdom to use against the enemy or competitive supernaturals in the line of royalty. He encouraged Wilfried to stomp on other people's plans of reaching higher than him. You can basically guess what happened when we reunited during our adulthood."

"Complete opposites in mindset," Otis and I said in unison.

King Wyatt nodded as he let out a long sigh. "My brother left as my best friend and returned being a completely different person. He was consumed with greed, but it got worse when he discovered the legend regarding the Great Summoning. Like a crazed researcher, he became obsessed with the idea of unlocking a creature that would use the souls of the dead as fuel to rule the universe, and the mere idea of humans being at the bottom of that food chain only excited him. He was taught to believe that humans were utterly useless, while supernaturals should only love and marry within their race. What was most potent in such tunnel vision teachings was that there was no way one could live peacefully being married to a race other than their own. Due to this, the very sight of a human dating a supernatural, for example, would grind his gears."

"So he was peeved off at intersupernatural relationships," Dominick concluded. "It's not uncommon for our kind to hate the idea."

"You're correct," he admitted. "It's a practice that has become more accepted as of late, especially with the encouragement of celebrities and well-known influencers in the human and supernatural realms embarking on such romantic journeys but back then, it was a controversial moment in history."

"Does that mean he had big issues with you marrying the queen?" Tristian inquired.

"Yes, but that was later in time after we'd already drifted apart," King Wyatt replied.

"How were you two comfortable with being apart for so long?" Otis inquired. "Don't you share a twin connection? If you two disliked each other so much, wouldn't it be absolutely uncomfortable?"

"Uncomfortable and easy for either one of you to feel the other's emotions and intentions," I quietly added as Otis and I crossed our arms over our chests in synchronicity.

"We severed the connection," King Wyatt casually replied, like it wasn't a big deal.

Otis and I just stared back at him with a dumbfounded look.
