"Well , I certainly wasn't expecting that."

Luvian let out a sigh as he continued walking his way.

He then averted his sight to xi 'have you gotten bigger?' He stared

"..."

'Oh you big ball of fluff." Luv held xi's cheeks and nuzzled his nose whilst of course maintaining his cold expression.

'But before going to bed..'

After arriving to his elder brother's room he knocked the door quietly.

"Yes." Said Arthur from the other side of the door.

luv walked in and scanned his older brother who was wearing a black silk robe matching with the same one he had.

'Uhh too dazzling.' Thought the youngest to himself as he felt as if he was being eaten only by his older brother's presence.

Though the truth is , both sides probably felt the same.

Arthur tilted his head slightly and crossed his arms "What's wrong? Are you feeling feverish like at that time?"

"Elder brother." Luv stepped forward.

"Hmm , come here." Arthur opened his arms.

"It's not that I'm not feeling well , however."

He leaned against his older brother.

'wait a minute.'

"...aniki , it's up." Luv backed one step away.

Arthur looked down and checked on the situation "So it seems."

He pulled his Younger brother back against him.

"I wanted to make somethings clear , your highness." Luv said as he stood still.

Arthur flinched slightly 'Your highness?'

"I'm aware of how protective you're , however I've reached an age where I'm more than strong enough to protect myself, and do things on my own will."

"I also do not allow you to use magic on me without Permission."

"Did you think that I was stupid enough not to notice , your highness?" Luv smiled while his eyes were showing the opposite.

"I have only did that for your good, Luv." Said Arthur after hesitating for a while.

'I know.' Luv sighed.

"haven't you thought that perhaps isn't it best to get over things instead of. Forcefully. cutting pieces of my memories out?"

Said Luv

'not that I know what exactly has been cut out , but I've certainly caught on that some of my memories slowly had gone missing.'

"How long have you known?" Arthur said as he sat down irritated.

"From the beginning."

"Aniki , nothing can get in our way." 'Even if I wanted it to..' "so there are no reasons to take such childish matters."

Arthur averted his eyes from luvian and narrowed them.

"I won't allow my life to be controlled by you anymore."

The youngest headed towards the door "goodnight, nii-sama." He left the room closing the door behind him and headed to his own.

———————

Luv was lying Peacefully on the left side of his bed.

"I can't sleep." Luvian muttered to himself in frustration.

'Stop thinking about me aniki.' He thought to himself as he shifted around in his bed and pretended to be sleeping , to sleep.

A couple of minutes later a man in a hood slowly approached Luv.

Luvian quickly jolted and grabbed the arms of the stranger pinning them against his back. "Who are you?"

The strange man let out muffled sniffling sounds "m-my lord."

"hm?" He turned the man around to face him.

The man had purple eyes that were like jewels and platinum blonde hair similar to luvian's , he had slightly innocent but handsome looking features.

Moreover he was crying.

"An assassin?-" Luv questioned himself 'but why is he crying?'

"My Lord!" The man hugged luvian tightly as he bursted into tears.

"I for sure don't recall meeting anyone like him , unless that memory was cut out?" Luv muttered to himself before trying to push the strange man away 'how is this guy incredibly strong'

"hng."

'I'm getting suffocated.'

"Your grace , do you not remember me?" The strange man said as he pulled away.

"..." luv stared at him for a while then shook his head.

Tears streamed down from the man's eyes as he cried louder "Your grace how could you abandon me."

Luv rubbed his temple "I'm pretty sure I've never met you though, perhaps you're mistaken."

"My lord , how can I be mistaken! Look at me closely, You chose me by yourself , do you not remember?" The man looked at Luv with sad eyes that were filled with longing.

'I chose him? It doesn't seem like he's lying however.' The youngest prince held the stranger's cheek and looked at him closely.

"Y-Your grace." The man blushed and closed his eyes tightly.

'hmm..why can't I remember you?'

"..Your grace went into long slumber before passing away in your past life that must be the reason why you can't seem to remember." The man got himself together and said.

'My past life? Certainly he isn't talking about that one.'

"..."

'could it be have I lived in this world before?'
