014. The Liberty famIly {2}

Vivian pov;

"Miss Misa is right princess. We have been quite worried." That's right these are my two most close servant.

They always seem to keep a cool and neutral face all the time but when we are alone they are differenthe. 

"Sorry for that you two. I have a lot to tell you guys." I smile at them.

They both just smile back and Killeo said "Let's go back to the catstle first your highness."

I just nodded then we went on our way. Half way there I felt someone's arms wrap around me and pick me up from the ground.

Of course I was surprised and shouted a little "Ahh!" The arms hug me as a familiar voice said "Sorry buttercup. Did I scare you?"

I remember this voice as clear as day. I turn around and hug a boy with red hair and violet eyes.

"Big brother Crim!" It was the best big brother in the world. My big brother Crimson Liberty, the crown prince of Klolina.

"Vivi your back did you miss me. I came as fast as I could when I heard you were back."

He said as he hug me tighter. "Big brother can't.... breath." I said as he broke the hug. He was suffocating me to death.

"Sorry I just got excited. It's been so long since I last seen you." I swear I saw some ears and a tail drop.

Sometime my brother is how do I say this a big softie. I look at his back and saw his aide, Frank looking at me with ....pleading eyes?

Oh he must've run immediately from work when he heard I was back. I just sigh as I went and kiss his cheek.

His face brighten up as well as his ears and tail which I am seeing for some reason. "Let's meet up later ok? Your busy right?"

I said as Crimson glare at his aide as he turn back to me with a bright smile and said "I'm never busy for my buttercup."

I have no choice. I looked at him with puppy eyes and said "If you neglect your work like that how will you become a great king and protect me in the future."

He face turn shock as if he just found out that dogs has four leg. "Right then I'll see you at dinner Vivi."

Big brother Crim said as he went back to his office. I then continue on my way back to my catstle.

After i got back I took a bath and change into my casual wear. Then I drink some tea and talk with Misa and Killeo about my life at Warlock until dinner.

At dinner time I went to the main castle and saw Papa and big birthed sitting on the dinning table.

I can't see where mama, the queen of Klolina, is. Papa notice my expression and said "Your mother is visiting your grandparents."

I just nodded. then we started eating dinner. Throughout the whole dinner father and brother asked about my life at Warlock as I told them everything again.

They tell me what happen when I was away. I found out that nothing much happen when I was away.

After dinner I went back to my castel.  Then I call Zeck and Stalle with the communication device.

Zeckery pov:

After getting out of the king's office the king's aide escorts me to a carriage and sent me back to my home, the Smith dukedom.

The guards at the gate didn't recognise me. I think they are new. I told them to go inform the head maid that Zeckery was here.

Then after a while the same guard came running and let me in. Then I saw the head maid, the head butler and a few servants in front of the mansion.

They all bow down and said in union and said "Welcome home first master Zeckery." I just nodded in response. "Where's mother and father?"

I asked the head maid. "The Duke is at the imperial palace and the Duchess is at a tea party first master."

The head maid bow politely. I just nodded. "I have prepared your bedroom first master would you like to go rest now."

The head butler asked as I nodded. then I went to my room and wash up. I change into my casual clothes and went out to explore the mansion alone.

It seem that nothing has changed since I was last here. Then I sense someone behind me and was about to attack me.

I quickly took out the small dagger I carry around and deflected the attack and used magic to restraint the attacker.

It was a young boy around 7 or 8 year with grey hair just like mine and yellow eyes?

I was confused I have never seen this boy before and why did he just attack me.

He couldn't be an assassin because he's too young and his attack was sloppy.

I also didn't detect any mana from him so he's not using magic either. "Who are you?" I asked the boy as he glare at me.

"I should be asking you. Didn't you know that guests can't walk around my mansion just like that."

What the fuck is this child saying. 'My mansion' this is the Smith mansion so in other words 'my' mansion.

"Guest? Kid I don't know who you are but I assure you that I am no guest."

I said as the kid glare at me. What the fuck is wrong with this kid didn't his parents teach him manners.

Then is heard voices. "Oh my gosh third young master." I turn around to saw some maids running toward us and also a familiar boy with grey hair just like mine and grey eyes.

I know who is the was it was my younger brother, the second son of the Smith family, Hollan Smith.

He look at me shock and said "Elder brother?" "Ah Hollan you grown so much."

I said as he just smile. He didn't change much except for his heigh and body built.

"First young master please put the third young master down." A maid said as I remember the brat and drop him in midair.

The maids catch him hurriedly. The brat from before look at me weirdly and said "Big brother? First young master? Who the hell is this guy?"

"Hexor language! Show some respect. Follow me. I'll explain everything." Hollan said. Then both me and the brat follow him toward the lounge.

As we went in the maids pour some tea and serve some refreshments. After preparing everything they went out of the room and close the door.

Then Hollan start. "Hexor this is your older brother, the first son of the Smith family, Zeckery Smith who was studying aboard."

Hollan said as he turn to me and bow. "I apologise big brother. He is still young so please forgive him for his rudeness earlier.

This is your younger brother, the third son of the Smith family, Hexor Smith."

I nodded and patted his shoulder "Hollan i already told you, you don't need to do that. We're brothers. You haven't change at all."

Hollan just smile as he stand straight up and said "You have become more mature."

I just scoff and said "Try babysitting that royal pain in the ass for ten years."

"Big brother swearing the second princess can actually consider as treason."

Hollan said calmly. "Wait a minute. So this guy here is my brother? Why do-" Hexor asked as Hollan nodded.

Hexor was about to say something when the door open as the knight commander of the Smith family came in.

"Third young master you have sword practice." Then he saw me and said "First young master your back." I just nodded.

Hexor just groan as he rolled his eyes. "You should go now kid. Considering how sloppy your attack was a minute ago."

Hexor glare at me and said "As if you can do better." This brat smile. Zeckery smile you can't lose your cool because of a brat.

"Let's see if you were a real enemy I could kill you with one blow since I can used both magic and swordsmanship."

Everyone face turn shocked. Then I just smile and said "Now run along my little brother."

Then I used magic to push both Hexor and the knight commander out.

"Big brother what you say was true?" Hollan asked still shock then I explain everything to him about my life at Warlock.

Since from the beginning mother and father didn't tell him that I was actually attending a magic academy.

After talking with Hollan I went to take a rest until dinner time. At dinner time I went into the dinning room to saw my whole family.

I greeted them. Mother and father welcome me and asked about my life. After dinner I went back to my room and call those two.
