Familiar

Riding in the carriage, I saw a lot of things I have never seen in my last life. There are many people on the streets talking and laughing at each other. I also saw some people walking with animals. I heard from my brothers that depending on one's personality you can get familiars.

Familiars will be the lifetime partner of any mage in this world. It's like getting a twin. You are connected deeply to each other and understand each other's feeling.

My first brother will conduct the ceremony of summoning his familiar after his 8th birthday. So sometimes I can hear him and brother Iskender imagining what will his familiar be.

According to my brother, our father's familiar is a Raiju, the color of its hair is white and blue. Father's Raiju takes the shape of a wolf. Raiju's are usually associated with thunder and one of my father's attributes is thunder, so that's where my father's title came from Edvard Amyntas Evernight, The Thunder Frost Guardian.

My brother wants his familiar to be also a Raiju but with a different shape. He wants his Raiju to be a fox.

Well, with my brother's personality, I think he may get a fox Raiju because, as the saying goes, his character is sly as a fox. You may think with his innocent look he is a goody to shoes. But that assumption is wrong.

I realize my elder brother's personality when one of the newly hired maids-in-waiting tried to seduce our father.

"Good morning Duke."

"Where is my cute daughter?"

My father's personality is easygoing. Sometimes I don't understand why his familiar is a wolf. Too much difference.

"Oh! The little miss is still sleeping. The eldest young master is also inside waiting for her to wake up." She said while fluttering her eyes.

"Ok. I just saw you today are you one of the newly hired?"

"Yes, Duke. My name is Amy," she replied while winking.

Oh my God, I think I'm going to puke she still doesn't realize that I am already awake and watching her seduce my father. And did my father ask for her name? I watch my brother's reaction.

Looking at my elder brother's smile, I can feel my hair standing.

Maybe it's just my imagination. My elder is the most easygoing in our family, next to my father.

"Oh, father can you tell mother that we will meet her at the greenhouse? I will take Evie thereafter she brushes her hair." My brother told my father.

"No problem, son. Take care of your little sister."

After saying that, my father left. Despite that, she doesn't seem to realize that I am awake.

"Amy, my little sister is awake. Brush her hair because we will go to the greenhouse with mother." My brother ordered.

"Yes, young master."

She doesn't realize that my brother throws something under her feet and —

"Thud."

"Ahhh—! It hurts I think I twisted my foot." She said while sobbing so loudly.

My brother walks in front of her with a creepy smile on his face.

"Watch your place if you want to live a little longer." He said to Amy.

I think she is frozen from shock. The face of my brother now differs completely from the usual innocent sunny type.

Then I realize that my elder brother is a two-faced innocent sly fox.

Well, I think he did was right supposedly living in this era, people are more greedy with kind-hearted people.

Some of these newly hired think that maybe because my father is kind and easy-going, they can seduce him. This is wrong because my brothers and I know my father has only mother in his eyes.
