Menkar's real name was Nerio and that was one of the reasons why no one could suspect that he was the same criminal who was declared dead by King of Murel.
Menkar aka Nerio collapsed in his brother's arms. He was so exhausted that he didn't have the energy to breathe. So, he let go of himself. All he remembered was his brother holding him tight and then giving orders to the guards to quickly take him to his chamber.
He didn't know after how long, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Murel sitting in a coral-shaped chair and watching him with a deep frown. The water that circled around him was warm. He scented herbs in it.
"Murel…" he said, his voice a mere whisper.
Murel rushed to his side immediately. He grabbed his brother's hand and looked at him with sympathy. "How are you, Nerio?" he asked. His brother had visited him after a long gap of almost two hundred years.
