The baby is cute I guess...

A few months has passed and summer has finally has finally arrived. Today marks the day of my new baby sister/brother birth. Isabella and I are waiting outside our mother's room, a few healers ran inside a few hours ago and haven't came back out since.

After about five minutes of awkward silence I begun to grow bored of just sitting here doing nothing. Oh how I miss my phone....

"Touya, are excited that your going to be a big sister now?" My older sister asks.

"Hn. As long as that baby doesn't take away all of mother's attention... We can come to a compromise." I said earning a giggle from Isabella.

"That's not how it works Touya, a baby needs a lot of attention." She says. "And you certainly was a handful back then. You were practically glued to mother and I side." I sent her a playful glare.

"Looks like I'll have a bit of competition from the brat."

"your not that much older than the baby." She replies.

"Never said I was, just trying to spend as much time with the two of you as I can. Starting tomorrow according to father, I'll be start my studies and training on mana tomorrow." I tell her. "And don't you have to start practicing for when you become queen or something? What was that woman's name.... Ah! Mrs.—" I quickly stopped. "Never mind, forgot again." I say.

The door to the room finally opens. One of the healers pokes his head out of the room and motions us to come inside.

The wailing of a baby girl hit our ears and I immediately grew annoyed but kept a calm expression for my mother's sake. "Hello mother! Was the delivery a success?" My sister asks with a smile.

"Yes it was, come here and meet your baby sister." Mother says, we climbed up on the bed and see an infant girl in her arms wrapped in a blanket. The infant opened her eyes, they were a lighter shade of green unlike my fathers dark green eyes. Her light green eyes met my aurora borealis colored ones.

"That thing didn't hurt you did it mother?" I asked my eyes narrowed at the newborn.

"Touya, I'm fine. And this is your baby sister, Hilda." Mother says with a gentle smile. "Your a big sister now, so please be gentle on her."

"Fine," I said and my newborn baby sister just kept on looking at me with her big green eyes. Her tiny arms and hands reached out for me like I did with Isabella.

"Would you like to hold her first Touya?" I slowly nod my head and pick up... Hilda? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what her name was. Hilda.

"The baby is cute I guess...." I say with a soft blush on my cheeks.

After a few moments my father enters the room and walks over to us without a word. He looks at the baby in my arms and then at my mother. "What's the baby's name and gender?" He asks. Not even sparing a glance at Isabella or asking mom if she's alright.

"HER name is Hilda. You would have known that if you had stayed by mother's side." I said glaring at him.

"Watch who your talking to Touya, I am your father." He says. "Hand that useless thing to your older sister. Your instructor is here and ready for you now let's go. We don't have all day." He then walks out the room. I hand Hilda over to Isabella and kiss my mother's forehead. "Don't listen to him, father is just a fool." I say and get off the bed. "I'll be back later on to check up on the three of you." With that I walk out the room and catch up to father.

"I thought my training was going to start tomorrow?" I said.

"There's been a change of plans." He replies. "I want you to be on your best behavior understood? Your instructor is a retired professor at the academy you will be going to once your older." He opens the double doors leading into the library.

"Now go, if I hear that you've been giving her a hard time you won't be able to see Duke Vincent's daughter for the next four months. And you can forget about going to the summer festival next week." He pushes me inside and and slams the door behind me.

"Tch, asshole." I say under my breath.

"Now, now, you really shouldn't be saying such foul words for a girl your age." A woman's voice rings out through the library. Out of the shadows, a tall woman wearing a silk black tight dress that hugged her body in all the right places, long pastel purple hair braided in the back, black lipstick and pink eyes with a mischievous glint.

"You must be my new student, princess Touya." The woman says, a shiver went down my spine after hearing her seductive voice.

"J-just Touya is fine." I say. "What's your name?"

"I'm your new teacher, Lisa Minci. You should feel honored to be trained by one of the three great sages."
