Markus is 19 in the flashback, about to head off to the Peacemaker Academy; Phelix is 10-11. That summer Markus was more or less in charge of looking after all his siblings + Phelix who came over often to play with Henry.
So Phelix's Grandfather made that tarot deck. The King family is known for being adept artificiers. The deck had been a gift from Phelix's Grandpa to Markus'. It's since become a family heirloom for the eldest child.
The King of Cups, like most court cards, often represents people. In this case someone who is emotionally mature, kind, caring, and compassionate. I reccommend going to Biddy Tarot's website for a more indepth meaning of the card~
When Markus Bone, a Mage U.S. Marshal of some renown, has his enchanted weapon stolen, he's forced to ask an old friend he's been avoiding for five years for help.
When Phelix King gets his call, he drops everything to go help him. After all, Phelix is an unparalleled tracker of magical aura... And still in love with Markus.
Their reunion and ultimate clash with the man who stole Markus' weapon will force everyone involved to confront years of affection and regret.
