5. the history and name

'Ah! Why is he leaving? I thought he was going to be your partner tonight.'

'I am wondering that myself. He ran before I could ask.'

'So, my brother is quite a trouble maker. Runs around doing fun stuff and killing.'

'I like trouble. I am one too.'

He chuckled.

We were walking on the tower bridge.

'Let me tell you a story.'

'Once there was a princess, a prince, another prince, and the godfather.

The princess was the most beautiful. Came from lands beyond our reach. She was supposed to marry the handsome gentlemen, the prince. But she decided wealth over safety and love. The other prince was wealthier. She didn't mind. The other prince didn't know of the marriage. He never knew another prince existed. It was only him and her. The princess had two children, one of each. The younger one is way more strong and powerful while the firstborn was weak and needed to be protected. Soon later a battle was announced not by the prince but by the King of the prince the princess was supposed to marry. The other prince gave them a battle. He never knew of his child. He survived while the prince didn't. The father of the princess disowned her after knowing the chaos caused. The bridge broke during this war. The river flowed but no way across. The prince was never seen in these kingdoms again. He doesn't know of his child but one man does, his brother. The godfather of the child, who stayed living up to this secret. He lived with the princess protecting the child at all costs. But the princess always loved the firstborn saying she was the child of her love and not a backstabber.'

'How did the brother come and why didn't he tell the prince?'

'He vowed not to, that is the only condition put forth so that the child could be born. If he said a word she would stab herself and the child would die. The child of power as strong found a death would be a tragedy that the world couldn't bear.'

'This is not a story. Its history.'

'You are right. Put thought to it later and the string will connect itself. Now let's find my idiot brother who left their perfect partner behind.'

We walked towards the ball. All I did was smile. I saw the young master standing in a corner talking to a girl.

'We shall not disturb them. I will be fine on my own.'

'Nonsense, you are his partner. You have all right.'

We walked towards him. And I felt insecure in a second, the girl more beautiful than I had ever seen. Green eyes, she wasn't normal. Straight jet black hair tied up with a beautiful silk robe. It was as if I didn't belong in the midst of them.

'This is my partner, Sapphyre. And my elder brother, Ciel.'

I smiled and nodded.

'Quite peculiar I might say. Red short hair and looks feisty. You like nice girls, what changed your mind, Alexander?'

So, apparently, his name was Alexander. I knew him as Nico or young master.

Ciel looked at Alexander in a tense way.
