My little brother

We all know the drill, that crystal ball that was supposed to test your compatibility with an element. Needless to say, the ceremony for the crown prince will definitely be the talk of the kingdom and the event that everyone wanted to attend.

Another obvious thing would be that most nobles tested their child before showing off the results to the public. It wouldn't do if one of their child is incompatible with all elements after all, like me for example.

Was it because I replaced the antagonist's soul? Is that why I came out a normal person? Or...I stared at the star struck crowd as dark clouds gathered above their heads and lightning danced to the symphony of thunder. I bet you that my brother took my powers while we were in the womb. But that was fine, he needed it more than I would anyways. Trouble always followed power afterall.

I giggled a bit when I heard the crowd start murmuring amongst themselves. That's right! Look at how cool my brother was! I bet that all of you are envious, aren't you all?

Unlike our parents who were grinning from ear to ear with pride, Qing Shan still had a stoic look on his face, his eyes seemingly uneasy. I couldn't blame him, and he could blame our parents as they were the ones who forced him to show his prowess to the public. The tallest tree attracts the strongest wind after all.

Don't worry brother, I'll try to cover for you. Right now, you're two choices are to be a fool or to be so strong that no one would even dare challenge you. Or we can run away together! [1] Though, if we do so then the story will stray from the path and drift away into the sea. Then again, hasn't it already started to drift the moment I took over this body?

Catching Qing Shian's eye, I gave him a bright smile. Don't worry brother, though I may be useless in terms of combat, at least I'm not stupid. I'll do my best to keep you safe, because you remind me of my younger brother. Little Biming, why did you have to leave the world so early?

[1] this sounds like their eloping XD
