"Are you sure you have not forgotten anything?"

"Maybe we should look through the list one more time."

"You are looking just like a little baby doll. So cute..."

"I know right! Our baby sis can win the title of the most beautiful girl in the world."

"You guys are making me gag with your too cheesy words."

"..."

I just stood there beside Daniel as Crist and Leo kept gushing over me.

It was finally the first day of my new school term and somehow, three of my brothers were even more excited and nervous about my first day rather than me.

As I watched both Crist and Leo glaring daggers at Mark for what he just said about their overacting, I found a small smile making its way to my lips.

Somehow, I had started liking Mark's taunts and rude comments. Not because I had gone insane or something. Rather because I realized that my poor brother only knew how to interact, when it came to me, using his sharp tongue.

He's completely clueless about how to interact with others using sweet words or a soft tone.

It took me some time to realize that whenever he made any remark about anything nowadays, ninety-five percent of the time he wanted to be included in the conversations.

Although he never made any remark on me or about me but every time he did, it was so that he could get my attention.

If it was not for Daniel pointing this out to me around a week ago, I would never have realized the real reason behind Mark's behavior.

"Sorellina, are you okay?"

I turned towards my right to look at Daniel who was staring at me with his warm but worried eyes.

I took one of his large warm hands in mine as I replied softly, "Don't worry Dany. I'm completely fine. Even though I'm about to enter a completely new place and environment today, I'm more excited about it rather than being nervous. And I promise that I'll call you or the others if I felt otherwise."

I was aware that the rest of the brothers, Leo, Crist, and Mark, were also listening to my words very keenly.

"Alright. It's good that you are excited about your new school. But keep this in mind, whenever you feel like anything is wrong all you need to do is to call one of us. We will be there immediately. Okay?"

Daniel was looking at me with his eyes filled with seriousness. A small smile appeared on my lips as I realized that he was worried about me.

"Okay, okay! Now don't be so serious. I'm dying of hunger here." I said with a small pout as I rubbed my belly over my brand new school uniform.

Within a blink I found myself seated on my chair at the dining table as Crist and Daniel placed the hot tasty breakfast in front of me.

By the time it was past eight twenty in the morning, I was sitting on the passenger seat of Daniel's red Porsche Cayenne as he drives out of the mansion's huge gates.

"Second Young Master, wake up and get ready for school before Master arrives here!"

The west wing of the Silver Dawn Castle was currently in an uproar as a group of servants kept trying their best to wake up the boy who had turned a deaf ear to their pleads and urgent shouts.

"Second Young Master...!"

When they realized that their pleads were not working on the young boy, one of the servants started slowly walking towards the bed.

However, even before his fingers could touch the soft fabric of the duvet, he stopped in his tracks.

"Do you all want to die?"

The sleeping boy suddenly shouted out loudly from under his covers and immediately the room became pin-drop silent.

The servants did not dare to make any kind of noise to disturb their second young master and the one who was going to pull the duvet away immediately rushed to stand next to the door.

However, no matter how much the second young master intimidated them, they could not dare to go against the orders of their Master.

Master Sullivan had given them the order to get Master Rylan ready within half an hour for the first day of the new term of his school.

As the servants were busy passing each other quick nervous glances, the door of the bedroom opened, and a woman in her late fifties entered the room.

"Madam Wang, you are finally here. Please help us in getting Master Rylan ready as soon as possible. We don't want to be thrown into boiling water for failing in our job." One of the servant girls begged the old lady as she looked at the elder with her pitiful eyes.

"Stop exaggerating. The worst punishment that you all can get is merely a salary cut or a few weeks in the ice dungeons. Yet, you all love to pretend like the Young Master Sullivan is the most cold-hearted person alive on this planet."

Madam Wang said with a small scoff as she walked towards the bed where the Second Young Master of the Silver Dawn Pack, Master Rylan, was sleeping.

The servants passed quick glances to each other as they showed their objection and unhappiness about what Madam Wang had just said through their eyes.

Maybe the great Master Sullivan was not a cold-hearted beast in the old lady's eyes. However, the servants had completely different thoughts than her.

A few weeks in the ice dungeons were equal to years of suffering in the darkest and coldest prison of the universe.

"Since Madam Wang is here to take care of Master Rylan, we won't keep disturbing you." The oldest servant of the group hurriedly said as they all prepared to flee out of the room.

"Don't try to over smart me." Madam Wang said in a sharp tone as she glared at the group of servants who immediately looked down to avoid her gaze.

The old lady again turned her focus at the sleeping boy and the next second she emptied the cold water of the jug, that was resting on the bedside table, on the young boy's face.
