"—Young master , You are going to be late if you don't wake up in any sooner." Isaac said while holding some clothes.

I slowly opened my eyes my vision still blurry then slowly sat up and looked at him.

He laid the clothes down there were two different uniforms , what looked like a shirt with a short and the other one was a dress "Your highness , which one is to Your liking?-" He asked.

I quickly pointed at the shorts. "Are you sure , young master?"

I nodded 'finally I get to wear what I want.' As Isaac put them on I was watching the clock. "Are we late , Isaac?"

"Your highness is never late." He said without hesitation.

"Should we Put Your highness's hair in a ponytail?"Isaac questioned. I nodded quietly.

•———->

'I did say a ponytail..but why is it pigtails?!" I gloomed.

"Young master , You are all ready to go." Isaac said is he lifted me up from the chair and Put me down.

"I want to take xi with me." I said tugging on the edge of Isaac's sleeve. "Y-Your highness xi won't fit into the cart." Isaac said. "He can't?" I Let out a quiet soft whine 'but still..' , "however , You can take this with You , Your highness." He said as he handed me my stuffed bunny toy that I occasionally carry around since it's a gift from my father.

I looked at it 'don't worry, no matter how much I grow up , I will always be with You.'

I smiled lightly 'I guess you will do..'

"now , Your highness would you like me to hold you?" Isaac Questioned.

"no , I would prefer to walk." I held two of his fingers.

"Though Your highness would feel tired after a while."isaac said.

"Then can we teleport?" I asked. "Yes , Your highness." Isaac grinned and bowed , within a few seconds we arrived at the dining Room's door "his highness is waiting for you , Young master."

"here?"I tilted my head. "Yes , your highness." He bowed before opening the doors. I stepped in looking at the bowing lined up servants , with a slight nod. 'This scene is familiar.'

Then I looked at my older brother who's sitting next to my father's chair.

He burned a letter that he seemed to be reading before smiling when he laid his eyes on me "did You sleep well ?".

I nodded not feeling the need to fake smile.

I looked at the chairs wondering which one is mine. Before I know Arthur's arms lifted me high in the air before placing a cushion on it then putting me down on my father's chair "here we are." He sat back on his chair.

Not minding him I started eating a piece of cake ignoring the other food on the table.

'Young master , You shouldn't be picky about Your food.' Isaac's voice startled me. 'I know..' I ended our mindlink. Wiping my mouth with a napkin "I'm finished." I said quietly.

"Your highness, Young master isn't finished yet , please wait for him outside." Isaac interrupted with a slight bow.

"Then I shall." Arthur stood up fixing his suit and shoving his hand in his pocket walking out followed by a couple of servants.

I gulped then stood off of the chair walking towards the door.

Isaac sighed and crossed his arms "Your highness, Your aren't a child anymore, do we have to go through this."

"I'm full." I said.

"No , Your highness must eat probably." He said.

"But I'm not hungry—eek!" Before I could continue I was lifted up the air by Isaac , I wriggled my legs trying to get away"I'm really not—mmph." Isaac shoved a spoonful of veggies into my mouth "now now , his highness is waiting for You outside we shouldn't keep him waiting should we?"

giving up my attempt on escaping i obediently accepted everything that Isaac's fed me.

and within 30minutes the torture has finally ended , hopping off of his arms I quickly pitter-pattered my way towards the door waiting for isaac to open it , as it opened it felt unreal the sight of the sky the flowers and butterflies.

Isaac led me to the cart where Arthur was silently waiting. I sat down feeling tired , my body has always been so weak it's frustrating. "as soon as you take the test then the results we are heading back home."He said patting my head

"what's Your skill?" He questioned.

"my skill?" I asked. "You , did you even study?" He asked.

"I did long time ago.." I muttered.

The crown prince sighed "let's see there's light , earth , water , fire , and air , which one?"

"all of them." I said.

"Yes Yes as expected— , all of them?" , "Yes , I studied well." I said blankly but proudly from the inside.

he rubbed his forehead "then , show me an example."

'First comes..light a ball of light..then earth , water , fire and wind. ' one after an other they all appeared.

Arthur's shoulders trembled slightly as he smirked.

He opened the window of the cart "change our destination." Pulling me to his lap "You know , my dear little brother, this world is just not worth it."

He gently patted my head."so if you feel sleepy.."

'..Why is it getting..' I thought to myself as my eyelids grew heavier ,

"Then You should sleep." He smiled Nuzzling my hair.

——>

Faintly opening my eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling , I sat up despite my numb limbs, '..when did I even fall asleep..?' , feeling an uncomfortable sensation.

I felt my neck , there was a clear collar around it '...what is this..' I looked at the white bedsheets then got up from the bed only for my legs to tremble losing strength I fell to my knees 'eee-..just work with me just for once.'

I held onto the bedsheets trying to get up. The door opened and Arthur walked in "did you sleep well, little brother?" He asked with an insincere smile.

'I'm not sure.' He came closer lifting me up from the ground and tucking me back in the bed "You know , if You're tired You should rest." He said with the same insincere smile.

' it's kinda starting to gross me out.'

"where am I?" I asked.

"well, You seemed very tired to me so I took us , home." He said,

'this doesn't seem like home to me..' "where is this?"

"our home." He said smiling insincerely. 'Stop it..' "stop it." I said.

"Hm?" He questioned ,

"..it's dirty." I said,

"what is?" He asked.

"Your smile." I said before he roughly grabbed my face "Look at me when you're talking." His expression grew darker. I looked at him with teary eyes that twinkled with each reflection 'who even is this..'

he then gently caressed my cheek "oh Don't you worry now, Your older brother wouldn't hurt You." He smiled.
