Chapter 210 - 210 Last Man Standing (15)
The guest room allotted for Louie
Eros, Ares, and Hermes laid Louie on the bed followed by Artemis who helps Ethan and Soteira helps Kim. Pearl, Amber, and Harry follow them as they all entered the room. Pearl sets up the Air Humidifier and she puts a Lavender oil onto it, Amber sets up the lights into a dimmed one. "He'll be okay for now, he may awaken tomorrow or the day after tomorrow for he was very exhausted" Amber informed them.
Ethan: "Is Luna okay?"
Amber looks at him "I still don't know about her situation, Eros...Pearl please prepare something hot porridge for Luna. She needs to eat after she wakes up, maybe she is just stressed out a while ago that's why she passed out. Artemis please go to Viscount Francois's room and ask about Luna's situation" Amber ordered to the trusted people of HADES.
The six bowed their heads and went out of the guest room to do the duty that has been ordered to them. Harry went to Amber's side and cupped her face and kisses her forehead "Thanks My Love" he told her. Amber nodded her head "Your Welcome My Love" she replied.
Kim: "Hello!!!! Two single lonely hearts are here, could you two please stop being lovey-dovey!"
Harry chuckled while Amber giggled, "Louie might not accept Luna's decision about his proposal about the friendship and him being a father with the twins, I can already assess that he is now in depression state" Harry informed his two friends.
"He just wants to spend some time alone with the kids. He already lost five years with Luna's love and attention and he also lost the first years with his kids" Ethan said as he deeply sighs and stared at the sleeping face of Louie.
Amber look at them "We will be leaving the day after tomorrow, the family will spend the New Year at the City if Wise and I am sure that Yuan will be joining us. The Duke will be bringing Aunt Lily and the Cheung Elders as well for they will formally introduce them as a member of the HADES. Harry... My Love, you are free to decide if you want to join us or stay here for a while to be with Louie" Amber said to her fiancée.
"Is it okay if I stay here for a while? I mean, Louie needs someone right now and about Yuan's situation we understand if he can't stay behind for Isabele always crave for his scent and presence" says Harry. Amber smiled and looks at the other two men "Louie needs all you, the three of you will be his rock and a shoulder to cry on after he wakes up" Amber stated.
"Does the Wu triplets will be joining your family also?" Kim asks her. Amber nods her head, "The Knights will be engaged to them on New Year's Celebration, their identities will be changed after that for they will be the Ladies of each family of HADES. As for Harry, he will be my man, a Knight per se just like Yuan to Isabele's life." Amber explained.
Ethan: "Princess Amber, I like Rosela. If ever I didn't win the so-called Last Man Standing tradition that you have, could I still prove to all of you that my intentions for her are pure and true?"
"To tell you the truth, the three of you didn't win nor passed THE LAST MAN STANDING. For none of you have survived what our people did to the three of you. You Ethan, you didn't last long with Eros as well as the beer-drinking event although we found out now that you have an allergy to malt. As for you Kim, you couldn't bear the pain of Pearl's tattoo. Lastly, Louie, he could not control his emotions when he saw Luna and Francois flirting in front of him. Although he could handle everything, the punches and the bruises and cuts.....he accepted it and he could even eat now the food that he did not even want to taste. The verdict of Rosela and Pearl to both of you will be the last resort for you to win, but for your friend.....Luna has already given her thoughts about it and it was a NO.....For that, I am sorry" Amber informed them.
Ethan and Kim went to silence upon hearing Amber's explanation. They have some thought to their mind and Harry was controlling his laughter to see how his two friends became so down for they can't win a girl's heart and attention. "The two former most sought bachelor of City A is so frustrated this time for the woman they want doesn't fell on your charms," Harry said as he taps the shoulders of Kim and Ethan.
Ethan... Kim.... always remember what Greg Behrendt said: A man who wants to make a relationship to work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves" Harry advise them. "But you cannot move the mountains for you to keep the woman you love if there is already a man who has crossed the most deserted desert, and move the deadliest mountain just to teach her to trust and love again. The advice my fiancée just has said is applicable for both of you and not to Louie, for Luna has already the man who taught her to be strong again" Amber butts in.
"So it means that Louie can't see Luna and even the kids? He can't even have some time alone with them like a whole family?" Ethan asks Amber, and Amber nodded her head. "Louie is long gone to Luna's heart, Louie doesn't deserve her, her time, and even the kids. Sofia is still around and Louie still doesn't confirm to us that their relationship is over or not. Sofia is obsessed with Louie and I am afraid that she will harm the Moon and to the twins" Harry voice out what's on his mind.
Ethan: "I'll make it sure that Sofia will not hurt Luna and the twins. If this is the only way that I can atone my sins to Luna. If Louie will curse me in the future, it will be okay as long as Luna and the twins are safe."
Kim: "If we need to put Sofia behind bars, I will do it. I will do with my power to put her behind bars."
As they have a serious conversation, Amber's got a message from Jessica stating that they have an emergency meeting, "Harry, We have to go to Luna's room for a while we have an emergency meeting. Jessica texted me and she is calling for everyone's presence. Are you two will going to be okay if we leave you with Louie?" Amber asks Kim and Ethan, and both friends nodded their heads.

Luna and Francois's Room
Jessica: "Oh My! Sir Dimitri my parents will agree with your proposal, didn't you know that they have already sold us to your three Knights. They seemed to like that we will produce an heir or heiress for them. But I have I question, who won the Last Man Standing?"
"Last Man Standing means the opponent of the HADES must be the last one to stand wide awake. In the case of the three men and according to the rules of our tradition, no one wins but it depends on whom the opponent wants to prove something" Dimitri explained to Jessica.
"In Louie's case, he didn't win even he has given all for what I have decided that he can't become my friend and he can't get close to the twins. But for Ethan and Kim's situation, it depends on Rosela and Pearl's verdict. They are the ones who will decide if they won or not but technically the three of them lost the tradition per se." Luna added an explanation to her friend.
"Even Louie uses his power to have custody for the twins' he won't win. Duke Lawrence make it sure that the twins' will not have the surname of the Chen's" Marco added some pieces of information to his fiancée. Jessica stared at her fiancée and she keeps on her mind all the information that they have just told her.
"My King, let us make it official and I know Father won't argue with us. You adopt the twins after we arrive at the City of Wise so that they will become your official children. The twins' will surely like it and the Duke won't argue with us especially that Louie's grandparents might have a plans to give the surname "CHEN" to the twins and they will make it sure that the Chen's will have the same custody with them" Luna voice out her thoughts to her husband.
"I'll let Samantha do the proper arrangement for that, don't worry Luna I will not allow that the last name of the children will be CHEN. They've already lost everything when Louie signed the divorce papers and when he hurt you for eight months" Jessica said as she took out her phone and sent a text message to her twin sisters. She also told her sisters that they need to have an emergency meeting at Luna's room so the Knights, Ladies of the Court, Jamil, Audrey, Sapphire, and Ryder are needed to be present.
With just one text from Jessica, everyone rushed towards Luna and Francois's room, Isabele and Yuan were also there together with a bucket of salted caramel popcorn on Yuan's hand. Luna laughs as she saw that the whole family was inside their room, Francois shook his head as he saw Yuan becomes a slave to his wife while his sister Scarlet didn't even get embarrassed to sit on Dimitri's l.a.p when she saw her husband sitting on a single couch.
