13 Chapter 6-2

" Who do you might be, Sir ? "

Right at the entrance of the Diamond Palace, Francis was immediately questioned by the Palace's guards.

" How insolent of you! Do you not know His Highness Francis ?"

The maid accompanied Francis was furious at the narrow-minded guards. Usually, all the Guard's in the Capital Castle must know the Royal Family member's face extremely well. But it seems that these are the apprentices who had just joined.

" W- We are truly sorry, Your Highness. "

" Don't let this happen again. Or I will report to His Majesty about this. "

At that time, Francis did not pay attention about trivial things and was only curious about Caesar's condition ad state of mind.

Right at the moment he came near the First Prince's bedroom, he was welcomed with the sound of shattered glasses.

" Go away ! All of you go away ! " The angry sound of a young boy came out from Caesar's bedroom.

' It should be Caesar. Why is he shouting angrily like that ? ' Francis wondered.

It seemed like the servants from the Diamond Palace were busy handling the troublesome First Prince that they did not notice that Francis was there. Once again, his maid raised her voice.

" The Second Prince, His Highness Francis is presented. Kneel down and make way ! "

Upon hearing the maid's voice, all the servants ceased their work and kneel down to greet Francis, in an orderly manner.

" A good day to the Kingdom's brightest star, Your Royal Highness Francis of the Astalió Kingdom. "

" Rise. " Francis was nervous. He did not receive this kind of greeting back in Ruby Palace frequently since he told all the workers to not be overly polite with him. Moreover, he was on good terms with everyone there.

" Gratitudes to Your Royal Highness. "

The First Prince Caesar could not resist his curiosity and was peeking behind his doors. He had that beautiful platinum blond hair from the Queen and the bright and shiny emerald color eyes like the King. He was undoubtedly fit the title of "Prince Charming".

" Good day to you, respectable elder brother. "

'Look at that male lead aura he is emitting, I definitely can't relate. Isn't this too unfair when we are brothers of the same blood.' Francis silently cried in heart.

" G-Good day to you, too. " Caesar replied, while trying to copy Francis gestures and ways of speaking. " Maybe, you are my younger brother in this world ? "

' In this world ? Why does he phrase it like that ? ' Francis could not comprehend the last three words of Caesar's question.

" Indeed. I am your younger brother. "

" O- Oh, I see. " Caesar nervously answered while hiding his face behind the pillow he brought.

" Shall we have a small talk, brother ? I will listen to whatever you are going to say brother. " Francis could not hold this way of talking for a longer time. He was bad at polite speech, and his acting was about to reach its limit soon. " If you feel uncomfortable, we can have a private conversation just between the two of us. "

" U-Um, I prefer it that way. "

" You heard that, Tristan and Verda. Please let us be alone for a moment. Do not allow anyone to enter this room before you have received the permission from me. "

" Yes, we have understood. " Tristan and Verda replied and slowly closed the doors. ' I have never seen His Highness Francis spoken like this before. ' They both thought.

" Now then, let us have an informal conversation. "

" Ah- Okay... "

They sat at the small tea table that was placed at the balcony, facing each other. Francis looked around the room, everything was a mess. The mattress, pillow cases and blankets are everywhere in the room. The teapot sets also seemed to have sacrificed during the battle of Caesar and the servants, as Francis saw one of the maids carried the broken pieces of ceramic when he was outside.

" You have made an impressive battlefield here. " Francis tried to put it in the most round-a-bout way as possible to try to not hurt Caesar's feelings.

" Sorry, I was confused and could not control my emotions. "

" No need to apologize though. We are kids after all. " Francis smiled while comforting Caesar. ' But out of all kids, I'm the one who is the least eligible to say this , haha. '

" I will move on to the main topic. I have a lot of questions, so can you do me a favour and answer them as much as you can ? "

" I-I will try ! " Upon hearing that, Caesar became tensed and fixed his posture.

" Then first, are you a reincarnated person ? " Francis would like to know the answer to this one the most. Since Caesar said <in this world> before, he had a hint that Caesar might also be reincarnated just like him. But Francis could not be so sure, so he needed some sort of confirmation.

" Wha-So it really is reincarnated, huh ? " Caesar answered while thinking about something.

" I take that as a < Yes > from you then. "

" Secondly, do you know your identity in this world ? "

" Yes, I am this country's First Prince, Caesar Rhodine Astalio. "

" Seems like I do not have to explain about that. Then thirdly, do you know what world we are in ?" Francis thought, ' Caesar might not know this world if he did not play the game in his last life. But if he did play the game, there's no need for me to explain anything. But judging from his reaction, even after learning about his name, it seems like he is unfamiliar with it. '

" This world ? I don't really know. Maybe a time-slip to ancient Europe ? "

' Bingo. He did not play the game before. But I do not know if he is from the same world and era like me, or somewhere in the past or future. '

" Can you tell me more about you and you previous world, brother ? "

" Um, I used to be a college student back then in Japan. I was on my way to my graduation party with my other friends in college, but passed away in an accident before reaching there. I do not remember the reason why I died. But there's a higher chance I ended up in an accident since I was rushing. "

" I see. What was the year when you died ? " ' I need to make sure that he is in the 21st century to fully explain about this world and the game. '

" Year ? It was 2020. "

" Ohh~ I passed away the year before that. To be exact it was on the fifth or sixth of March in 2019. "

' Lucky ~ He lived in the 21st century. '

" Then it is easier for me to tell you about this world. " Francis let out a relieve smile.

" Eh, you have known about this world already. "

" Yes. This world is inside a dating game, I hope you've heard of that. And YOU, brother, you are the male lead of this world. While I am the villain, haha. " Francis sounded very enthusiastic at first, but his energy drained when he mentioned that Francis himself is the villain. "

" Dating game ? This is surreal ! Did you make a mistake somewhere, umm.... ? "

" Just call me Francis, we are siblings now after all. And I don't think that I have made a mistake. Every information I got in this world overlaps with the background information of the game. "

" T-This is impossible. " Caesar looked depressed, it seemed like he just fell down to the lowest level of Hell.

" Are you okay, bro ? You can rest first if you're unwell. I will visit you again tomorrow or the day after. "

Seeing Caesar almost collapsed, Francis assisted Caesar to his bed.

' Maybe he is tired because of the large amount of information rushing through his head.'

" I will try to comeback again tomorrow. Please take your time to rest. Do you need water ? I will ask the maids to bring some for you. "

" It's okay. I want to sleep now. Thank you. "

" No problem. You're my bro in this world after all. " Francis closed the windows and curtains so that Caesar could fall asleep faster, he also activated the magic stone used to cool the air in the room. ' This is just like the A/C in the previous world. ' He thought.

" I will take my leave now. "

There was no reply coming from Caesar so Francis guessed that he might already be asleep. When he came out of the room, Francis informed Caesar's maids and butlers that Caesar was sleeping and told them to not disturb him until he wake up.

' I came to this world a little early than bro anyway. So I need to take care of him a bit until he is emotionally stable. '

" Looks like our Young Prince is becoming more mature day by day, haha. "

" Yes, that is totally true. "

" What do you mean, Tristan and Verda ? " Francis looked behind and asked them.

" We mean what we said, of course. " They both replied.

" Hmm. Mature, huh. " Francis mumbled. ' Well, I am a college student in my past life, so my thinking cannot be childish, of course. '

" Look, Verda. Now he looks all mighty and arrogant. "

" Fufu. He is still a kid after all, even though he is more mature than most of the kids his age. "

" Yeah, right. "

And there's Francis who was drowned inside his delusional thoughts, not aware that his maid and guard were talking about him, while holding that weirdly looking arrogant face.
