"Earth ?" Elizabeth muttered.
Both Elizabeth and Selene recognized their foster brother immediately.
Earth had been adopted a few years ago as a young boy by Duncan Tepes, who had seen considerable talent in him. This decision had proved wise. Earth had shown enormous progression over the years, shocking everyone. The people of Valachia, initially hesitant about having a human adopted into a vampire royal family, could only remain silent in awe of Earth's frightening progress.
He was one of the key figures who had supported Elizabeth in elevating the Tepes House within the hierarchy of the Academy last year. However, he hadn't been able to complete the year and had left for Edenis Raphiel on Duncan's orders.
Even though it had been a year, the twin sisters couldn't mistake their foster brother for anyone else. His striking golden hair and golden eyes were unmistakable. Wearing a simple black coat, he leaned against the door with his arms crossed, smiling at his adopted sisters.
