Gera's Pov:
Damn! I had to tell him the truth. It was probably the only way I could get him to forgive his mother - hopefully.
His eyes dropped as soon as I made that statement.
"What?" He said under his breath, his eyes crinkling up in confusion.
"What're you talking about?"
"She was scared, Mishael . she had to run away..."
And I took out time to explain everything his mother had narrated to me.
He was stunned and with the look on his face, he didn't believe it.
"You're lying to me" he shook his head and said.
He wanted to look bold, but the tone of his voice betrayed him.
"She sent you to tell me this, huh? To tell me more lies?"
"I'll never lie with such issues Mishael, and you know it. I know its hard to believe, but you need to..."
"So what?" He cut in with a scoff.
"you're tryna tell me I'm the prince of Kyrpton? The same land that betrayed us? Is that what you're trying to say?"
"I'm sorry Mishael, but yes. And you need to embrace it, please. At least, if not for anything, then forgive your mother. She didn't a have a choice. She was scared and powerless, Mishael - the only mortal in Krypton. At least, try to be considerate".
"She should've been considerate enough to go with me. Why did she have to leave me behind?"
"Because you were..."
"Because I'm the prince?" He cut in with a scoff.
"This whole thing is ridiculous. Understand? And I don't want to talk about it". He rasped and tried going out to the balcony but the door opened immediately with Tabitha coming in.
She looked so frail and bittered - and pale. Obviously - she's been crying the whole time.
"Mishael" she called in a whimper.
"What're you doing here??" He growled at her.
Damn it! Can this ever be possible?
She went closer to him - seeming crazy to me.
Mishael could easily hurt her.
"I'm sorry Mishael" she went on her knees.
Holy crap.
"I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I beg of you, please have mercy".
Tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Oh Mishael; he's become too cold-hearted already.
But even with his coldness, I could still see the pain in his eyes.
"Yes, you're right. You don't deserve my forgiveness" he sniffed and walked away.

I couldn't think straight for the whole time. The thought of Mishael being mad at his mother still perturbed me to the guts. How do we get to soften his heart?
I sat alone at the wine bar, drinking tiredly. Shortly, Phin joined me and relieved me of loneliness.
"Hey man" he called as he took a seat and poured out some wine.
"Hey" I said almost in a whisper.
"You cool? Wats up?" He asked.
"How can I be cool, Phin? With the issue on ground? You know what Mishael means to me. His problems are my problems. I need to look for a way outta this" i grouse.
"Oh! His mum, right?"
"Yes - he doesn't even wanna look at her. Its so frustrating, Phin. Seriously. I feel for all of them - him, his mum, Olivia...I feel for them all. What do we do?"
"Hm. And with the hatred in his heart, even if he touches his mum, the bond won't be broken".
"Yes - it needs to be done with a soft heart - and not one full of grudges. Its complicated, Phin. I'm confused".
I sighed and opened a new bottle of champagne.
We were both silent for a while.
"So...we need Mishael to get to love his mother again?" He broke the silence and I just nodded.
"Hmmm. Maybe I have a plan".

King's Pov:
"My Lord, are you sure about this?" My chief adviser asked as he stood behind me in the throne room.
Of course! This was the right thing.
"I'm sure, Nathan. You don't need to worry about me. Just be sure to keep it as a secret for as long as possible. I wouldn't want anyone to know I went down to earth" I looked at him and said.
"Okay, my Lord. I'll try my very best. But, don't you think you should take some guards with..."
"Don't worry Nathan; I don't need the guards. I'll be fine. Just do your part" I said and he bowed.
"As you wish, my Lord."

I turned around and backed him, looking through the window. I needed to do this. Of course! This was the right thing to do.
I can't just sit here comfortably, when they might be in danger. I needed to go look for Tabitha...and my son.

Olivia's Pov:
I woke up from a long nap, feeling relieved and stronger.
Wow! I guess all I needed was a good sleep.
I took up my plate of cookies and ate from it, with relishment.
Not long after, Mishael came in.
Oops! That weird feeling...
I stopped eating the cookies as I suddenly felt shy.
"You're awake" he mouthed as he drew closer to me.
"I...had come to check up on you earlier but you were still sleeping".r
"Oh!" Was all I could say.
He exhaled and sat next to me.
"So, how're you feeling now?" He asked.
"Uh...I'm fine. I think I'm okay now" I replied slyly.
He didn't say a word for a while.
"Olivia..." He called and I just looked at him.
"I have something to discuss with you".
Huh? I couldn't tell, but It made me feel twitchy.
Oh my! What could he possibly have in mind?
The door opened abruptly with Gera running in, looking like someone who was being chased by a lion.
"Mishael!" He panted heavily, his eyes dilating.
"Your mum...she's dead".
What?
