"Nii-san, the soup is hot" said a girl of around five who had black hair, light black eyes, dark skin, and wore worn-out clothes while her body was full of dirt.
"Ren please eat or else Claude will be angry with both of us" said a boy of about seven years old who had black hair and yellow eyes who had dark skin and also wore worn clothes covered in dirt.
The boy named Sebastian was trying to convince his sister Ren to eat a freshly prepared vegetable soup, to avoid a scolding from his older brother who had gone out to do a job that according to his brother's words would help them get out of the situation where they were. they currently found.
Ren, upon hearing the words of her older brother, suddenly stopped complaining so as not to eat to stay silent and began to eat calmly, remembering what her older brother was like when she got angry with them.
They both ate in silence, hoping at least that his sister would arrive with good news, by the time they had both finished eating, the door of their little home opened, revealing his older brother.
Claude was an 11-year-old boy who was dressed in a white shirt with elbow-length sleeves, short black pants, and brown boots, as well as carrying a brown backpack along with a saber attached to his waist while his white hair was tied up in a ponytail leaving her blue eyes peeking out and her pale skin carefully cleansed.
"Oni-chan is back" said Ren the younger sister of the family who jumped from her chair to go hug her brother who had been away from her for the last three days.
"I told you Sebastian about bathing you and Ren often, as well as keeping your clothes clean" Claude said with an annoyed tone and a look in the direction of his two brothers who stopped trying to greet him and just looked at the floor in apology.
"Go and take a bath, first of all, while I prepare good clothes for you" Claude said with a serious tone that only made his brothers nod and go in the direction of the bathroom to wash off all the accumulated dirt.
Claude watched his brothers closely until they went into the bathroom before closing the door behind him to also add several locks and a piece of wood to keep the door sealed at night.
"By a miracle they didn't come in" said Claude as he saw how the door hadn't been closed properly before they arrived, "well I'll go get some clothes that they have clean" said Claude as he entered the only room in the house and went into the closet to start cleaning find good clothes.
"Who would have thought that I would end up in this situation" Claude said with nostalgia in his voice, remembering his old life, "I was an officer in the army of my country and although I did not have a luxurious life I never had to go through necessities, but after I died I was reborn in the world of one piece in one of the poorest islands of the west blue in a family where my parents died after having my sister" Claude said with some sadness for remembering how he saw his parents die in this world that although not They were very good people, they always worried about their three children."After that I became a thief who had to steal to keep my little brothers' mouths, but I also had to train myself and them for security because in this world that is rotten we can only trust my little family," Claude said, remembering the years when he raised his two brothers.
"Now after being able to steal these three things from the corrupt royal family of this place we can safely get out of this place" I said remembering my robbery from the royal family that I organized with some poor children who all died in that robbery where only I was able to get out alive "Well, at least we can go to where Olivia told us we'd meet two years ago," Claude said as he remembered how one of the few friends he could have had in this world told him that he would escape from the city to a small hideout on the outskirts of the city to live more peacefully with other people.
"Although I know that this place is a trap, I will go to rescue all those deluded children who went there" I said, remembering that after Olivia left I was able to investigate that this place on the outskirts of the city was a ploy by a group of pirates to enslave the deluded people of the city to put them to work in forced labor in some abandoned mines.
"As long as I can get my friends who went with Olivia back, I'll be satisfied" Claude said as he took the clothes for his brothers that he took to Sebastian who received him and told them to meet in the living room of the house.
"This kingdom is rotten so the best thing to do would be to take my brothers and then those I can save from that place and then run to the far north to the forest of beasts where I can keep them all safe" said Claude wandering in his thoughts about his next move to see his two brothers in two pajamas who took a seat on the worn sofa in front of his brother.
