1 Prologue

"Hey, why is there a girl in our midst?" Leohart Hades mockingly laughed as he stared down at the young boy who was only reaching his chest height at 154 cm, a child that was overweight, chubby cheeks, soft pale skin that looks like a girl and a fragile composure that can easily be played around with.

"Why aren't you answering?" His brothers friends asked menacingly as they pitched their way forward towards the boy who was now retreating into a corner, shivering in his boots not knowing what to do in this situation.

Even though the teachers were present, they just gave a blind eye to the situation that was availing in front of them, pretending as if nothing had happened and carried on the lesson leaving the young boy to fend for himself.

"I...I'm a boy." He whispered, barely enough for anyone to hear, "Oh so you can speak back now, huh?" His brother gave a death glare aiming towards the young boy's forehead as he was looking on the floor, unable to make eye contact.

"Wh...what do you want?" The boy asked with his shaky voice that turned out to be afraid rather than confident.

"Meet me after school, I'll take you somewhere nice." Without any hesitation, the boy nodded in agreement whilst the group of bullies smirked and left one after another to their class whereas the young child just stood there, unable to move an inch, afraid that his life long bullies would once again appear but nothing.

Yes, this was the daily life of Mickaila Hades, the second son of the Hades family respected for their fighting prowess even within the prestigious academy for the wealthy.

A family respected by all however for a family that produced genius offspring has suddenly given birth to what was rumoured to be the generations failure, yes, that was what Mickaila was described as for his whole 16 years of living in this world. This wasn't just because of his girlish appearance but also his weak constitution in comparison to his brother.

Whatever Leohart decides to, no one dares to question or stand up to his wrongful acts even if their parents didn't care for Mickaila"s well being even though they know of their eldest son's misbehaviour.

Mickaila gave a relieved sigh and sat back down on his desk that was full of all sorts of inappropriate language etched into the wooden desks and seats he was now using, however he didn't care for such trivial things as it was a normal occurrence, he looked into his draw and luckily his new brought textbooks that his sister brought for him was still safely placed with no scratch on them.

Out of the whole family, there was only one person who cared for his well being and that was their eldest sister, Roselia Hades. The only daughter of the Hades household, a girl that was only a year and a half older than him who always stood up for Mickaila, a girl that was regarded as a true genius of the whole generation, even above that of his eldest brother. And it was due to this that she gained a name for herself, being a well respected member of high society and someone that was feared by the mass due to her un-measurable fighting prowess and intelligence.

"Ring, Ring"

As the sound of the bell goes off, it signals the end of school, everyone makes their way outside whilst Mickaila quickly runs into the restroom, [tsk.... I'm not that dumb to actually go and get beat up] he exclaimed to himself whilst getting his spare clothes from his bag revealing a set of dark bluish hoodie and a pair of comfortable sport trousers and a black t-shirt. Ensuring his whole face was covered by his hood, he exited the restroom and went to the backyard, climbing over the fence and landing outside the academy' premises.

[Hah, let's see you waiting at the front gates for me for as long as you want] as Mickaila made his way home in an unnoticeable manner.

Despite in public he acts like a easily manipulated underdog of the Hades household, but in reality that was only a way to keep himself safe and out of trouble, he didn't want to be used by the family to raise their prestige and it wasn't his intention of getting accepted and respected by all, he doesn't have any strong aspirations like his eldest brother or sister, he just wanted a peaceful life however it is something harder to do than expected.

[Ah...I'm hungry!] Mickaila complained however he doesn't have any money on him to spend even though he was from a wealthy family, all the money he earned was all used to buy equipment for school along with some daily necessities. So basically you could say Mickaila is an independent child with no one to look after him even though he lives under the same roof of the Hades family with his brother and sister.

After a whole 50 minutes walk, he finally reaches the Hades Family gates, without anyone noticing or even being caught in cameras, he swiftly made his way inside with his spare keys, and within the living room, his father and step-mother along with his sister was sitting around the table about to have lunch, by the time they heard the doors shutting, everyone turned around facing the door to see Mickaila, his father wiped his mouth and suddenly stood up from his seat, coming closer towards Mickaila and looked behind him and around him, "where is Leohart?" he questioned uncaring that his second son was in front of him.

[Huh, just as I thought. It was always about my brother?] he scoffed internally whilst the boy just shook his head in front of his father, "I don't know" he said innocently.

His father gave him a disgusted look whilst dismissing him to his room, not even attempting to tell him to stay and have lunch. As the boy was walking up the stairs, he turned to see his sister catching her attention signalling him that she would bring something for him afterwards, Mickaila lips itched upwards for a split second before going back to his normal unimpressed expression until he got to his room.

[Damn, this is tiring] as he slides down the door, [Everyday, the same routine happens again and again, I either get beat up before coming back home then getting ignored by all or come back unscathed and get ignored like the usual again with Rosalia being the only exception in both situations].

Mickaila rubbed his head and sighed, standing up from his position onto his two feet and walked towards his closet to get some spare clothes, after washing up and changing into comfortable wear he looked at the calendar on his wall, [8 months left] he sighed.

Drying up his hair with the cloth, he sat down on his bed, taking out his phone and checking the time, it was already 6:45 pm so it was about time his brother should be arriving home.

After a while of resting on the bed, a knock came from the door. Mickaila stood up and quickly went towards the door opening it, revealing his sister who smiled at him, "hungry?" she asked as she came inside the room, "thanks sis." as Mickaila grabbed the bread and chucked it down his tummy whilst his sister sat down on the bed, "you know I don't really get why you have to hide your talents. If father knows, he wouldn't treat you this way and no one in school would've had the guts to bully you." she said looking worriedly.

"Yes, but it isn't my style to be in the spotlight." Mickaila said uninterested, "hah, it's not like you would listen. I really don't get what you are thinking sometimes." she sighed.

"Don't worry sister, I have ways to protect myself and not get into too much trouble." he confidently said.

Just as Mickaila finished his food, the sound of someone stomping their way towards his room was heard, taking a sip from his water, the door was aggressively swung open revealing a fuming older brother who stomped towards Mickaila grabbing his shirt, tightening his hold and stared into his eyes, "how dare you!" as his other hand tightened into a fist about to punch him but just before Leohart could make contact to his face, he was suddenly grabbed and hanked away from Mickaila who fell back whilst Rosalia stood in front of him protecting him, "you..." Leohart's face suddenly paled when faced with Rosalia standing before him, "si...sister?" he asked, "why are you here?" he nervously laughed, "I... I was only playing with my second brother here." he said.

"Oh really?" Rosalia said looking down upon Leohart who shivered underneath her shadow. "if you dare come and bother your brother again, wait and see what happens!" Rosalia threatened.

[Tsk... never thought that sister has such an effect on brother. Whatever, he deserves it] Mickaila internally giggled seeing his brother"s fearful state that was out of the ordinary.

Soon, Leohart turned facing Mickaila, "just you wait!" he threatened before scrambling his way out of the room.

Certain that he was out of his room and nowhere near, Mickaila looked up at his sister, "pft... did you see his expression?" Mickaila said bursting out in laughter, Rosalia shook his head and sighed once again, "you should be more careful around him." she said.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry. Anyways, go back to sleep." As Mickaila comforted his sister's frustration and slowly made his way towards the door, pushing her out, "goodnight!" he said whilst quickly switching the lights off and going into bed.

[Ok, what should I do tomorrow?]
