Sejin’s POV
‘I never thought I’d see this brat’s face early in the morning ‘, I thought grimacing at the sight of him.
‘Last time we met he was so ready to snap my neck but now he looks so harmless, smiling brightly than any other star─’
“What do you think, brother?”, a mop of red hair blurred my sight. I glanced behind him nonchalantly and saw a bunch of gifts being unloaded from his caroche.
“Hmm, you do like inviting yourself, huh.”
The line of servants behind just looks at us impassively and Aries stood beside me looking down at the young prince without any emotion. Kalev oblivious as he is doing not get the meaning behind my words which made me roll my eyes irritated.
“Yes, i do!!”, he giggles, holding my hand he dragged me inside happily. I look back noticing Aries nod at my direction mouthing, ‘ Good luck, master’.
“Kalev is energetic as ever, isn’t he?”, Levi’s baritone voice rang in my head, you must be wondering where he is, no? Well, he went out to play again like any other cat, heh.
“You’re forgetting I am your master and you’re playing around like a cat…”, i mutter under my breathe ignoring his comment.
“Correction, I am your twin-brother and not my master and I am not a cat!!”, I could practically hear his angry huffing in my head.
I only rolled my eyes at him. He was stubborn and stupid, that’s a given.
Then I observed my brother, The real Sejin never really got ro meet him properly in the past, he was abstinent and reserved. He loved his parents dearly that he didn’t fault them for what they did to his brother.
It was inevitable that I would hate him this greatly.
“Whatever. Since you invited yourself, play around then because I have lots to do rather than play around…“
Hearing my cold words towards him, his shoulders slump forward, dejected and lost, and seriously, I don’t care really.
I didn’t see a reason why I should care about his advances now. Sejin spent not days nor months in that shabby house being tortured by the blacks, but years!
Years and who rescued me!?? Who rescued him??! No one! It was solely due to the burst of his magic that the blacks were driven away.
“I survived by myself; I don’t see anything wrong by constantly doing that now… “
I whispered to myself as I strutted away from my brother with an annoyed look. It’s better to walk around, spending arlits rather than stay here and suffocating myself with his presence.
Letting out a quiet tch, I called for Aries, requesting him to prepare a caroche for me as we will be going around for a while until Kalev would decide that he will not get anything from me.
Maybe not today.
End of POV
The white caroche with intricate golden designs that added to the caroche’s pure and elegant vibe. The caroche he was riding was also red before but with a little work of magic, he changed not only the color but also the designs of the caroche.
He had also applied for an emblem.
A heraldic device as a distinctive object of his, his alone, not the fire element emblem of his family but an emblem for him alone.
He chose the Ice God’s crest as his symbol: An enigmatic and enthralling animal, a snowflake with a detailed craftsmanship of a snake wrapped around it delicately. And a rather interesting snow owl feather curved around it.
When he had hired a craftsman to do it, he saw how the craftsman was weirded out by his request.
He guessed that no one had ever used the Ice god’s insignia other than the Holy House of the Empire.
But meh, did he care? Nah, the Ice god gave him this magic, a headache, so he’s gonna give him one hell of a block of headache.
He couldn’t help but smirk inwardly as he formulate a plan in order to give everyone one hell of a headache.
With such a day dreaming face, he didn’t realised that Aries had already opened the door of his caroche, and held out his palm open for him to take. He looked at the gloved-hand with a thought before acting like the bad bitch or asshole he is.
He used his Ice magic and made himself an ice sculpture of Aries with the exact position and a stair made out of entirely ice. Then he chin up and took the hand of the Ice sculpted Aries.
Climbing down he said to Aries,
“Your gloves took the reigns of the horses, right?”
Aries, who was stunned in place by the rude and bratty manner of the prince, nodded his head slowly which made the latter almost gag.
He rolled his eyes at him, and once again, Aries- the trusted butler who had gone through trainings of etiquette, was dumbfounded.
How could such a prince act like this?
“What are you still waiting for?”
A voice full of irritation snapped him out of his stupor and he hurriedly run to his master after looking back and checking if the fiasco his master did a while ago are still there.
‘As expected, it wasn’t there anymore…how cool..’
He smiled once he finally made his way in front of his waiting master.
As a native of the street, Aries was tasked by his master to tour him around. Sejin was relieved that he’s gone for almost seven years so there would be changes around the kingdom especially the street markets.
And as a transmigrator who played around a game.. He wasn’t gifted with Sejin’s past memory so what he knew about him was about limited as what the game have.
“And this is where stones and gems were tick and transformed into-“
Aries first showed him the stalls of smiths and jewelry makers. He couldn’t deny that he bought the jewelries, sets of them.
“Young master, this is an ij’wana, a particular tree beast who loves to mope around the trees and they-“
Then Aries dragged him to a pet store, they consist of small beasts that were trained under the Beast Guild and sold in stores where nobles and commoners alike buy them as companions or for their cores.
“Then here are the Lorjin’s Bakeries.. Lord Shane loves to bake small pastries alike and many would buy them-“
And then Aries introduced him to a feminine looking male with blonde hair and hazy pale honeyed-brown eyes. He smells of bread and home, the man, Shane as he claims his name to be was a native of the Rafael Kingdom.
He moved here after his family were driven out of the house.
“He was also a descendant of the Rafael’s current god’s bestfriend!!”
Aries couldn’t help but share which Shane laughed in a carefree manner boisterously. Sejin glanced between the two as he ate his puff chocolate bread. He sat by a corner with Aries and Shane just standing and talking loud and laughing beside him,
“Are you a native of Rafael or Varlette?? Haha, you’re much more interested in their history than your country’s…”
Sejin only watched them bicker and make fun of each other’s profession and whatnot while he takes his time observing the feminine male. He knew a certain blue eyed male’s best friend.
He had read about them before, it was a book he bought for a cheap price, the description caught his eyes and he read it with enthusiasm. Although confusing but the realization would hit in the end; sent him in astonishment.
Though the book could use some clean-ups..
‘I’m criticizing the author of the book, whose writing the book I’m in too…she wouldn’t kill me in the next chapter right? I’m too beautiful, she couldn’t erase me..‘
The man truly knows no shame.
