Rowan entered the sitting room where Sebastian and Ciel were waiting., both were rather upset . Rowan hated to see them that way, even if they had hurt him. He sat down to talk with them.
"Rowan, most of your life you've lived with us and we've loved you very much, that's never going to change, you're our son no matter what. I know you feel hurt right now but there's a reason you're with us and I'm not sure how to tell you what that is without hurting you more." Ciel said.
"Why would you lie?"
"It's not exactly a lie, we are your parents, this letter states that you are our child due to your biological mother and father being unable to care for you. That is putting it mildly, when you were only a few months old, your mother left you with your father because she needed to get away from him, he hurt her a lot. Your father has many problems with anger, he doesn't have the ability to control it. He's gone so far as to seriously hurt Ciel and your grand father. That was something that we could not allow to happen to you. We wanted only to protect you and give you the love you should have had." Sebastian explained.
"My mother left me?" Rowan asked in tears. Ciel could only nod in response.
"Your father only cares for the throne, he thought that by having you, he could be king. That was not the case. Your grandparents attempted to teach him to be a father however, he made no effort and you were given to us as our son. If only you knew how hard we fought to protect you, if you knew the extent of the love we have for you-"
"If you loved me, then why didn't you tell me?" Rowan yelled.
"We thought it best if you believed you have two loving parents, we love you dearly. You are special to us."
"No, I'm not special, I'm not yours."
"You are, whether or not you see what is in front of you, we are your family, Ciel is your mother and I am your father. Please-"
".I don't believe you. I want my real parents." Rowan stated coldly.
"We are right here, however if you are referring to your biological ones, I haven't the slightest idea where Nephthys is and to find your father, you would need to ask your grandfather. I ask that you wait until you are big enough to defend yourself, if this is to be your decision, we want you to be with us. I cannot tell you that enough, how much we love you. Please believe us when we-"
"How can I, you have lied all my life!" Fresh tears fell from the small demon's eyes.
"Everything we have done has been to protect you and your siblings. We want only the best for you."
"You don't love me!"
"Rowan, you are very precious to us. I know you hurt but it wasn't done to cause you pain. We wanted to give you the love and-" Rowan didn't care to hear Ciel's words. He stood up and ran back to his room.
"Sebastian, do you think he's going to want to leave us?"
"I hope not, we should be prepared for him to want to meet Mordred."
"But he's-"
".I know. Sometimes even demons must learn the hard way." Sebastian held Ciel close to him as his mate felt his heart shatter.
Rowan slammed the door and grabbed a small suit case. He filled it with a few toys and a sweater. He sniffled as he looked at the photo from his birthday, his mother and father stood around him and his brothers and sister were busy eyeing the cake. He placed it in a drawer and closed his suitcase.
"I'll find my real parents, they'll be happy to see me, I bet they'll never lie or make me sad or anything." He sobbed. He would wait until Sebastian and Ciel left to see the king and queen before slipping out of the castle. He threw himself on the bed and sobbed into the pillow, this was something he had to do.
