"What are You smiling about?" Arthur questioned putting the book down on the table and crossing his arms.

"..uh-e.." luv fidgeted around with his small fingers before ordering. "come out , xi."

The white tiger whom had his arms rested on luvian's lap slowly appeared , his shiny white fur sparkling as the sunlight hit it.

Arthur was rather surprised but not shocked and slightly disappointed cause the reason his little brother was smiling about wasn't himself.

"I see , Is that one of the things that helped You Leave the Palace?" He questioned in an uninterested tone.

"xi is not a thing." Luv said in a faint serious tone as he patted xi's head.

Arthur gave the tiger an irritated glare 'what's so special about that thing.' He thought to himself.

Lillian gracefully took a small sip of his tea and closed his eyes enjoying the cold breeze as it tickled his skin , and the relaxing quiet atmosphere.

And Arthur continued reading his book giving the white tiger sneaky glares every now and then as his butler silently stood behind him in a polite posture.

When the sun began to set Arthur held his little brother and watched the sunset until he noticed the younger one dozing off , he then decided to take him to his room , and xi smoothly followed his owner.

As they walked passed a group of servants that were horrified of the tiger in scene, Arthur ordered to fire all the servants who feared creatures of any kind , because he found them no worthy to serve in this palace.

Arthur ended up going to his little brother's room and he tucked luvian in bed , watching him for a couple of hours before heading out of his room.

Of course Arthur had already made sure that there was a strong Protection spell all over the palace before his Younger brother arrived.

Including the spell that their father already casted , making it impossible for outsiders to approach.

Not forgetting the spirit that surrounded his younger brother.

Arthur was already aware of his Younger brother's strength.

The older one arrived at his office , he sat on his chair and stared at the ceiling for a while before getting interrupted by his butler "Your highness , this.." He said handing him a letter with a purple stamp and a stinking strong perfume scent that made him cringe.

Pushing it away "What does it say?" He ordered his butler to read it as he shifted in his chair for a more comfortable position.

"It's a letter from the Princess, she wishes to meet your highness in the closest time possible, it's urgent." The butler calmly said.

"I refuse to have any kind of meeting with that wench."

Arthur spat out coldly.

"however Your highness , She could Bring-" his butler was about to say before getting interrupted.

"Did I stutter?" He gave the butler a deep suffocating glare.

"I beg For Your forgiveness, Your highness." The butler quickly and professional kneeled down in front of his master.

Arthur crossed his legs and looked at the window.

in this dark room with only the moonlight His bright red eyes stood out.

he held a dozen of documents "are these the Youngest prince's medical charts?" he asked.

"Yes , Your majesty." The butler answered not lifting his face from the ground.

Arthur started flipping through the documents carefully scanning every letter.

and not dismissing the kneeling butler until the sunrise.

When the sun began to rise.

"I guess it's time to check on luv." He muttered to him self and stood up looking straight ahead.

"You May raise Your head." Arthur dismissed his butler and causally walked his way out and to his little brother's room.

There he saw his little brother sleeping quietly he crouched down and brushed the Younger one's bangs away from his face and stared at his unconscious brother in daze.

————————————-

"..bright." Luvian covered his eyes.

"I've been waiting for you, luv , I always am." A familiar voice said from a distance.

Lillian flinched and slowly turned around with slight widened eyes that gone teary in a matter of seconds "..f-father..?"

He gave him a gentle grin before opening his arms "did you miss your father , my dear angel?"

Lillian began to make his way towards his father's embrace unconsciously "..b-but..how..is father..alive..?" The Younger one muttered in disbelief yet hugged his father tightly.

The father chuckled and patted his son's head "that's of course because, w̶e̶-̶_-_-"

--------------------------

'Because we?' Luvian quickly sat up as he woke up , his face held a confused , sad , pained frown

'I haven't dreamt of my father in a long time..' he clenched into the key.

He then said without even looking at his older brother.

"Good morning, nii-sama."
