Fifth Young Master

Loud sounds of swords crashing and heavy breathing resounding the whole training ground. The sun's ray beam brightly, making the two figures fighting's sweat visible.

One was wearing a knight outfit, exhibiting his sharp and straight forward moves. While the younger one wearing a luxurious casual attire showed an almost identical yet unripe moves.

With a heavy move, the younger one fell off the stage. He gritted his teeth as his red eyes pierce throw his opponent. The knight immediately gave him an awkward smile as he proceeds towards the glaring teen.

"Nice move second young master."the knight praised, helping him to stand up.

The glaring youth push his hands away and clenched his fist unto the ground. He can't help but feel frustrated. He still couldn't defeat the champion knight.

Furthermore, he stands up, and several servants came into him. Scrubbing the dust in his clothes. He picked up the towel on the maid beside him, wiping the sweats on his forehead. He dismissed the few servants, and he approached his opponent knight.

"Good fight sir Alger...precisely, I'm still not your match." he gave his warm smile, far from his piercing glaze a while ago.

The knight smiled shyly as he scratched his back. "Second young master is still young, I'm afraid in a few days you can easily defeat me."

Daniel Obelima grinned but didn't answer. He was the second son of Duke Obelima but compared to his eldest brother he was still lacking. And he hated that. He needed to be on top to destroy that bastard sibling of his.

"Daniel." A warm voice approached the angry youth.

He turned around and his expression soften. "Mother."

Madame Savannah glanced at her oldest son. A gentle smiled form on her lips as she caresses her son's cheeks.

"Your father summon us in the dining room."

Daniel crouch his eyebrow. His father was always busy, and only his eldest brother was qualified to eat with him. Now he wants to summon him? Is his brother fallen into his rank? He can't help but feel excited.

He immediately ordered his few servants to carry his sword and followed his mother attentively.

The whole mansion was covered with few exquisite designs. But it's not like a castle surrounded by warm and lively, it was different. It was dark and gloomy, yet it didn't justify the unique design of the mansion.

The house of Obelima consist of a Duke and his five wives. He had twelve heirs, and it was the limit of his descendants. If he had another unborn child, the remaining twelve children needs to compete in order to stay on their spot. Competing with magics, knowledge, swordsmanship and governing. The one who had the lowest rank will be automatically kill or vanish in the house to maintain the standing number of twelve. So far, they were still twelve.

Daniel's brother was comatose since he was born. It was almost ten years, yet the child still didn't wake up. It was his only full-blooded sibling, he was afraid that if the other wife of the duke gets pregnant, his brother will be killed.

He clenched his fist. He needed to be stronger. Destroy this family that was nothing like a hell. To make that, he needed to rank first to become the duke's true successor.

To his surprise, all of his relatives was present in the table. Including his eldest brother who rarely attend in this commotion. He seated to his respective chair as his mother sat in chair, personally for the wives.

They were still waiting for the Duke. Back straight and elegantly, all sitting together. Some of his sibling's stare pierced through him. Yet he maintained his calm posture.

"Oh my, why is Duke taking so long?"a seductive voice that came from the first wife broke the silence.

Her hair was tied properly in bun with her chestnut strands falling on her face fashionably. Her brilliant blue eyes curved. Gracia Obelima, Gavin's mother and the first wife.

"And why is he summoning us? Is there something going on?"she flipped her fan as she giggled dangerously.

"Maybe someone was going to vanish? Rarely, the duke summon all of us if someone is pregnant or someone is going to die." the second wife answered sweetly. Her black eyes and hair look gentle.

Daniel clenched his fist when he notices his mother tense up. If someone is really pregnant then his brother will die. That was his only true blooded brother. He can't let that happen.

Just as the noise continued, the butler announce the arrival of the Duke. They all stand up, waiting for the Duke.

The black haired middle-aged man entered the dining hall, causing some shocked on other's expression.

The reason for their stunned gaze was not the Duke. But the one that was carried by him.

Brilliant red wavy hair scattered in the Duke's clothes, yet the Duke doesn't seem to mine. Skin whiter and paler than snow. And the eyes that doesn't seem to belong to the Obelima. Their eyes were ruby yet the child's was a darker red gem that some runic words was rotating in his iris. It was simply breathtaking.

Savannah widened her eyes on, shocked. This is her son! She truthfully remembers how hard it was for her to stared at his corpse child for almost ten years. Now, he had awakened. Tears pooled on her cheeks, but she remained on her chair. Daniel feels the same. His brother had woken up. He feels good.

The Duke smiled at their stun guise. "The fifth young master Sylvester has awakened. The ranking will still remain." he explained indifferently. "You may sit."

The child in his arms gazed at the humans staring at him. He can feel the aura of evilness surrounding them. His eyes glowed and the runic words on his iris rotating very fast as he absorb all of their evil aura. No one knew what is the child doing.

He was placed by his father unto the seat that had a number '12' on it. So it was farther from his father's seat, but he appears apathetic.

The girl younger than him glanced at him. So this is his fifth half brother, huh? Daring to be carried by father! She clenched her fist and glared at the expressionless child.

Sylvester knew that the child beside her was full of resentment towards him. But he doesn't care. It was good, actually. It was his food.

He was awakened a while ago by the shocked maid. The trace of the corpse of the maid had not yet disposed. Causing the other maid frightened in horror. As the maid notice his sudden movements, she appears more frightened. The fifth young master has woken up for almost ten years, and he even appeared to be healthy! And it immediately killed someone! She went to the butler and tell what she saw earlier. Like the maid, the butler was shocked as well, but it was just for a little time and went to the Duke's room to report the surprising news.

The Duke arrived in his room and his eyes full of anger when he saw the dried blood that scattered in the ground. But his eyes straight away lightened up when he saw his fifth son.

Pair of red eyes staring each other. One was lighter while the other was pure red.

The duke lightly asked, surpassing his excitement, "Why did you kill her?"

The child expression was not shy nor scared. He looked at his father like he just asked a joke.

"She committed a sin, she did not admit it. I punish her." his tone was still a childish, yet it has a hint of coldness in it.

The smile on the Duke widened. Surely, a pure Obelima.

Hehehe
