[Ch.97] A Brother's Role

Ryu looked around Tsunemori's room in awe as he explained what had happened and how he had arrived in Tsunemori's courtyard. 

Tsunemori went to his bed and had Ryu lay down on it. He covered Ryu with a blanket and rubbed his head affectionately, "You can rest here. Don't worry. Your older brother will take care of everything."

Ryu grabbed Tsunemori frantically when he noticed he was going to leave. Ryu cried out pitifully, "Please don't leave me! W-What if something happens?!"

Tsunemori smiled gently and rubbed his head to calm Ryu down, "Okay. I won't leave you. Let me just go tell my guards to send a message to our father."

Ryu tightened his grip on Tsunemori, "W-Will Father punish me for leaving?"

Tsunemori's eyes widened momentarily before returning back to normal. He shook his head, "I don't think so, but if he tries, I will stop him."
