12 Micaheil Banks

The wind suddenly blew fiercely in the forest. A voice suddenly reverberated with the strong wind, "Lucien!"

Lucien just kept a straight face as if he heard nothing and continued to pat Prime's head. He found it oddly comforting.

Prime was bewildered, she knew her older sister's voice well. Her sister was usually so calm and well mannered. She had never heard her shout before.

"Hey, I think you stole my sister and treated her as your own." Remarked Lucien collectively. His eyes trailed on Prime's facial features and he couldn't help but joke, "She looks more like me than you."

Disregarding his question, Micaheil snapped all of the web that Prime made and fell from heaven knows where as she landed cleanly in front of the two. She suddenly grabbed Lucien's right hand as she nagged, "How could you tell her that? And hands off, this is my baby girl. Ask the Lord and the Lady for one of your own. Don't go claiming somebody else's sister as your own." She tightened her grip as she shot daggers with her eyes at Lucien.

Micaheil had a darker shade of emerald eyes that seemed to glisten with life and power. She wore a simple full body cover ninja suit like Prime, but hers seemed to have secrets. Secret weapons that were far too dangerous for anyone wanting to live. Her eyes spoke volumes of the questions she wants to ask but dare not ask as of the moment.

Seeing the usually unperturbed face of the general filled with all sorts of emotions, he couldn't help but snicker. "Ayyy, can't admit to a crime?"

Hearing his casual remark, she realized that he has no intention of letting this matter go so she ignored him. "Primeriza, I told you to warm-up!" She said sternly as she looked at her sister.

"I did." She said as she lowered her gaze. She dared not meet her gaze. She felt that this accusation was quite unfair. "I really did." She whispered softly with her head now bowed down.

"How could you nag at her. She's my little sister." Lucien playfully asked as she looked at the two sisters, he tried reaching out to pat Prime's head.

"Paws off!" Micaheil warned again, her voice was quite grim and serious. She then sighed as she looked at her sister. Prime was really an adorable child. The hints of childishness and innocence were still simply evident on her that she couldn't help but have a gentle smile as she found it quite pleasing to the eyes how her sister kept her head down while she reprimanded her and Lucien. "Look at me, don't stay childishly hiding your face when I reprimand you." She said lightly.

Prime gulped before she slowly raised her head. She then let out a sweet and charming voice as she justified, "Sister, you wrongly accused me." she blinked quite adorably that both Lucien and Micaheil raised one of their brows as they listened to her justification. "I thought you were asking me to enter the forest because the place where you left me at, the lake outside this forest, the lake's water suddenly turned ice." As those words came out, Micaheil couldn't help but glare at the possible perpetrator. Lucien just kept his attention on Prime as she described the events that he committed. "I remembered you did the same thing before when you trained me. And this big brother here used the same thread attacks on me as you did." she paused and pointed at Lucien before adding a few more words, "But he was very sly and used it in all sorts of ways on me."

When Micaheil heard the last sentence, a vein on her forehead could be seen to be throbbing as she clenched her fist. "What exactly is this sly way?" She asked while trying to contain her anger.

Prime was ignorant of her sister's sudden change of temper. It's just that when she tried to talk, her mouth was blocked by a hand. "Ssshhh. Let's keep it a secret between the two of us, okay?" Lucien said as he winked at Prime while he smiled handsomely at her as he kept her mouth closed.

Prime was stunned. She just blinked while she stared at her handsome face. His smile was quite bewitching. It just so happened that Micaheil was already immune to his charms. But the fact that he was able to escape her grip further annoyed her. She suddenly grabbed Lucien's hand and pulled him to her side.

"Egon, take Prime away!" She shouted.

As she just finished her shout, a rustling sound could be heard to their right and both Lucien and Prime looked towards the direction where the noise came from, there they saw Egon walking leisurely as if he was walking in his own garden.

Lucien couldn't help but comment as his right brow raised when he saw Egon, "You hid your presence well." He then grinned before he cheekily turned to Micaheil, "I didn't expect the two of you to get so close with one another."

Micaheil glared at Lucien, "Funny how you assume so many things." she icily said.

Lucien then closed his eyes as he breathed in deeply, "You know, my assumptions have never been wrong."

Egon and Micaheil couldn't help but stop for at least a second. This remark, it felt like it weighed on them.

Prime observed the three before walking towards Egon. "Big brother, give me a piggy back, please?" She begged him with her puppy eyes. She then cast a spell on herself and then a puff of smoke appeared and hid Prime. When the smoke cleared, a child no less than 3 feet appeared. Her features were quite chubby and charming. She then raised her hands as if symbolizing her message of wanting to be carried.

Egon's heart warmed up, he sighed before slowly knelting on the ground. "Seriously, don't play that card all the time." he said in a ruffled manner. "We came here to reprimand you. You know you aren't allowed to leave a certain area yet?"

Lucien saw this and he couldn't help but realize that all three of them seem to have a soft spot for Petite Prime. Taking out Micaheil, since they are bloodsisters, he still could not explain why he and Egon were easily appeased by this little girl. He looked at Micaheil with an inquisitive gaze.

Micaheil felt the gaze on her as she looked at Lucien. "She's just naturally charming. The Lord and Lady Iroko said she will be loved by all creatures. Her charm will entirely depend on her move."

"Such priviledge."

"I know, but I dare not question the Lady and the Lord."

"General, what if she is a check move to balance the three of us?"

"Don't jest."

"Great General, General of all the corners of Dou. To bear the responsiblity of General and to have a fragile sister. Are you sure she is a gift or a curse?" Lucien whispered to Micaheil.

"Whether she is to be my babe or my bane, I'd rather not overthink. This youthfulness is a precious moment, when she grows up, she will not be as sweet as before." As she spoke, the grip of her hand on Lucien slowly lightened and he dare not escape again.
