(Oemitsu POV)
Three years later.
'Apparently, I am one of the sons of the strongest Devils of the Underworld. My Father is Lucifer and my mother is the strongest Queen. I don't know what Lucifer is but I know that it is something amazing.
I ended up inheriting my Mom's silver hair and eyes. My brother got our Father's red hair and eyes.
I'm really excited since we will start learning swordmanship with our new teacher. Me and my brother are going to start learning basic swordsmanship with Okita Souji, my Father's Knight.
And going have some High Class lessons from Mom. It took a lot of nagging from me and my brother to convince our parents to get a teacher to teach us how to fight.
Brother was the one that first proposed it. He wanted to get stronger since he admired our Father a lot. and repeatedly told me that being a Lucifer is amazing, however, I still don't get it.
For some reason, Father and Mom were okay with brother training, however, they repeatedly told me not to do it. I did not understood, since my brother can do it, why can't I. We are twins. We should be capable of doing the same things.' After thinking of this, we went to where Okita was.
When I reached there and stood in front of him, the pressure he emitted almost made me faint. He seemed to be a man in his early twenties.
He wore the traditional Shisengumi uniform, which consists of a haori and hakama over a kimono, with a white cord called a tasuki crossed over the chest and tied in the back. The function of the tasuki is to prevent the sleeves of the kimono from interfering with moving the arms. The haori is colored light blue, one of Japan's traditional colors, and the sleeves were trimmed with "light mountain stripes".
"I will be going to train you two brats for the next 2 years. I will teach you how to become a proper warrior." Okita said.
He was really laid back. Almost as if he was not in front of the Lucifer's sons and wife.
"Okita! Take your job seriously." Mom scolded him.
However, unlike the other members of my Father's peerage and my Father, he doesn't fear Mom.
Okita then gave us two small wodden swords.
"Oemitsu, it is not too late to give up." Mom tried to convince me.
"Why would I give up, Mom?" When I asked that with a beaming smile, she made a sad face.
"Don't worry Mom. Everything will be fine. I can do it. After all, I want to be like you and Father." I said before making a clumsy stance.
Three years later.
'Now I am 6 years old, and I know why Mother wanted me to stop practicing. It doesn matter how hard I try, I can't match my Older Brother. I tried 3 to 4 times harder than him but he would always be better.
I tried to make my parents proud but everytime they would praise me a little and would return to shower my brother with praises.
Apparently, he is a genius. A once in a million genius. While I... I am a comfort toy that my parents praise so that I can feel better and don't bother them.
Sirzerchs braggs about my brother to all the Clan Head and their sons while completely avoiding the topic about his other son. He is known as the Golden Child in the Underworld, thanks to his unmatched talents. When I tried to learn Water Magic, he would train it for 1/4 of the time I did and produce 10x my results.
And there is something that my brother can use. My greatest shame... The Power of Destruction. While he is brilliant with his talent in it, I am known as the Talentless Child. It doesn't matter how hard I work, I am nothing when compared to my brother.
The maids around the castle praise him like there is no tomorrow, while with me, they don't even acknowledge my presence.
I want to be acknowledged for what I do... However, it doesn't matter how hard I try, I don't achieve anything.
But! The day is April 9th and it is a happy day! I can't let these bad thoughts influence me. My Grandmother, Venelana Gremory, will have birth to my aunt! How cool is this?!' I thought while walking in the wallways in the direction of a room.
Entering in it... I saw that everyone was happy and had large smiles on their faces...
'I never saw that smiles when they looked at me or talked to me. Whenever I wanted to be praised for anything I had done, they would become expressionless and say a few words.
Then they would give the excuse that they had something important to do.
Everyone was happy. My brother, Sirzechs, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother... It almost feels like I don't have a place in between them.' I closed the door and turned around.
"This hurts." I said while clenching my chest.
Then I returned to my bedroom and lied on the bed... And cried until I slept.
