"That's fortunate... But I didn't think he would wake up so early" A Platinum haired man in his knight uniform, said. It had been a few weeks since his little brother had passed out from an unknown poison.

"How is he feeling now? Were there any after-effects?" The Knight asked the servant who was standing beside the noble knight.

"According to the maids, Young Master Aiden, was seen with symptoms of memory loss and frequent headaches" The servant replied.

"I see" The unknown knight commented. The servant lifts his head, looking at the young knight.

"Do you wish to pay him a visit, Baron Keii?"

The Baron only smiled and turned around.

It's been three days since I came to this place, and I have been gaining memories of the original Aiden piece by piece.

Currently, I am resting in my room because of the headaches I've been dealing with.

"Young Master, your food is ready," Anna had announced

"Ah, thank you" I sat up as Anna placed the food on my bedside table.

I must say, the food here is very unique and delicious. However... The atmosphere here seems to be more different than usual... 

Why is that? I wonder...

I glanced at Anna "Is there something happening?"

Anna's sweat dropped and hesitated to speak. I look at Anna out of curiosity.

"The... Baron is looking for you, Young Master" Anna sighed.

"Well, isn't that good?" I ask her, confused

"Ah, well.."

"YO~! Aiden!" Anna was cut off by the loud bang of the door and a Grayish platinum-haired guy barging in.

...

Is he the Keii-guy? My brother? He's very different from what I heard from the maids and Luna.

"Um, hi?" I waved my hand awkwardly at him

Keii, who I presume is. Looked at me displeased.

"Do you not remember me?" Keii pointed at himself.

"I saw you once in my dreams as a kid" Keii nodded and with just a second he shouted, taking me by surprise and flinching.

"ALRIGHT! THAT'S A PROGRESS" He tried hyping himself up.

"Get ready, for we shall be taking a stroll around the town!"

"eh?! wait-wait wait" I tried to make a statement but failed. Does my opinion not matter to him???

.

I ended up getting dragged to town with him...

"Why are we here?" I ask our eldest brother.

"Obviously to bond!" He replied with a giddy expression

"But, why do I have to come along on your date with Big Brother Aiden?" Luna- who also got dragged- complained.

"Why else? Of course, because we're siblings" He said.

Luna crossed her arms and huffed "Siblings? Yea right"

"He's a lot more different than what I heard from you and the maids, Luna," I remarked.

Luna couldn't help but flinch and stiffen from what I had said, whilst Keii 'innocently' turned his head along with his body.

"hm~? I'm curious... What were the things you've heard about me from our sweet little sister~?" Keii hummed and looked at Luna with a very innocent smile.

`Aiden, Big brother... Shut. Up. And don't tell him a thing` is probably what I'd assume she's saying to me with her glare.

"W-well.. They said.." I scratched my cheek and hesitated for a second whether or not I should answer him.

"They said that you're cold, stern, cruel, stiff, indifferent, and I think they also said that you were arrogant" The more I talk about what Luna said the more Luna shrinks along with Keii's expression.

..

...

Now, I am walking around the town with a downcast Luna and a grinning Keii by my side.

As we are walking we come across a weaponry. I stopped my steps and looked over at the store.

"Wanna go inside?" Keii said behind me with Luna catching up with us. I nod my head slightly. Keii smirked and picked me up from my belly.

"WAH?!" I yelped in surprise

"HEY! PUT ME DOWN!!" I tried wriggling my way out. This *diot just ignored me and went inside the weaponry with a cackling Luna behind us.

—–—–—

I took a glance at my two older brothers before smiling at them in relief.

I hope this time it'll be perfect... No. This time for sure, will be perfect. God has given us another chance to restart our relationship with each other. I swear upon my life that I will protect and grow our relationship!

My eldest brother, Keii put down Aiden to look around the weaponry.

Weird.. He was never interested in these, more over he used to be meek, he used to always lock himself up in his room, gosh did I hate that part of him. He was also very weak. But now, he looks a lot more gentle, calm, kind, and is used to communicating.

Was he always like that? Or has he been hiding that side of him? If so, then... Just how well do I truly know my brother?

—–—–—

My eyes sparkle as I look around the weaponry.

I look to my left, and all the long-range weapons are displayed- some on the wall, some scattered on the counters. And to my right, All of the armour and shields are displayed. In the middle of the shop, less expensive and unbranded weapons were displayed. At the back of the store, I saw at the counter, that extra necessities like elixirs, magic stones like such were displayed.

"Wow," I was awestruck.

"Found anything you like?" Keii suddenly asked me from behind.

Gosh, that scared me! Where in the spawn of the devil did he come from?!

"mn, not really... But I do have a weapon in mind" I answered him.

"oh? I'm curious as to what weapon you're thinking of"

"It's nothing much, I'll go ask the owner if they have one of them" I left both my brother and sister alone and went to the counter and asked the worker for a specific weapon.

The worker seems pretty fit, with his muscles being shown off thanks to his clothes. His dark brown messy hair and probably hazel eyes are such a perfect match. With his almost sharp jawlines and pointed nose. I don't think even my previous emperor could compare to him!

"Hello? " The worker snapped me out of my daze.

"Ah! Sorry- You're really handsome" I hurriedly apologized.

Geez, I appreciated the view too much! Anyway... Why is he so quiet? Did I say anything weird?...

A few moments of silence later I only notice. Just what I said.

"Ah! I am so sorry!" I tried apologising again and again to him. I took a clear look at him once more only to see a very embarrassed sight of him.

"Oh wow, I never knew you had such tastes, Aiden," A voice from behind me said. I looked to my back and saw my little sister, Luna.

...

"W- w- Wait- wait- that- that's not what I-" I Panicked trying to explain myself to my sister but was cut off.

"Fret not my dearest brother, for, regardless of who you like, I, as your beloved Sister, Shall support you" My voice trying to argue with what was happening overlapped with Luna's words, causing a small ruckus inside the store.

After I gave in and calmed the situation down, we apologized to the worker for dragging him with our argument.

"We're truly sorry for our behaviour earlier"

"No-no, It's alright" The worker reassured us.

"But, um.. moving aside the ruckus earlier, I have something I'd like to ask" I stated to finally get my weapon.

"Oh, right! There was something you wanted to ask, please carry on" The worker recalled.

"Goodness, how could I forget!" I question myself.

"Thank you for reminding me," I continued explaining my precious weapon.

"You mean the 'Kunais' from the south-east empire?" The worker asked. I nodded my head.

I smiled at him and waved the worker goodbye as I headed for the long-ranged weapons.

Now for the main weapon...

"Should I get myself a cross-bow or should I just go for a spear?..." I mumble to myself.

"Why don't you just pick both and find out which one you're good at?" A familiar voice from behind me suggested.

I was too deep in thought to bother to know who it was, thus, I subconsciously replied with "Are you dumb or just plain stupid?" followed by a cold tone, I turned my head only to see a dumbfounded Keii before me.
