[POV Leon]
I don't know since when our brotherly relationship became tenuous. Whether it has been since Brother Helios experienced seclusion about the prophecy of the tyrant of the holy temple or since I and Sister Tius took different paths and we began to be prepared for the throne by our respective factions, I can't remember it anymore.
It was clear that our childhood was very enjoyable.
I still remember that day. The day I fell from the tree and cried like a child.
“Hiks, hiks, Brother, my feet hurt from falling from the tree.”
“Pity, my dear sister. Here Brother obati.”
“Silver, Sister.”
“A man should be able to endure the pain. Sick just this tuh not nothing.”
“Hiks, hiks.”
Still clearly true in my memory at that time, Brother Helios then rubbed my head gently while saying, “Then, would I show you a cool show? But on condition Dik Leon will not cry again.”
“Hmm.” I nodded enthusiastically to what kind of show Helios would do for me.
Instantly I saw the water vapor in the air gathered and froze to form ice splashes. Then the ice splashes fused and formed something like a bird.
I was immediately amazed to see the sight of dozens of ice birds flying around the sky above my head.
“Wah, beautiful! Helios is great! Can when I'm your age also use a style like this?”
I can't believe I was 4 years old when it was so amazed and amazed at the appearance of Kak Helios's ice style. As soon as I grew up, I slowly understood that the Meglovia royal family was a family endowed with holy fire so an existence like that of Brother Helios who had the element of ice was precisely a disability for the family.
It is the users of the style of fire who are glorified by people. That is how I, Sister Tius, and Ilene were highly valued by the royal citizens, while Brother Helios was reviled. Then, everything got worse when the sacred prophecy about Brother Helios would be the tyrant of the future arrived.
Their treatment was really bad for him. In fact, what exactly distinguishes between users of the style of fire and ice? Both are great. Why in this country is the existence of ice magic users considered as something despicable? And why is it that only Brother Helios in this kingdom has such power? Maybe because of seeing my brother ignored that, I sympathized with him.
Then maybe around the time I was 9, about five years since Brother Helios went into exile, I witnessed for myself how our own mother planned the murder of my brother by poisoning his food.
Innocently, my brother ate the food given by Mother happily after not receiving her love for a long time. As a result, my brother was poisoned. Thankfully, Helios survived death thanks to her strong determination to live.
There was nothing I could do at the time because I was a kid. I can't protect my brother with my current strength. There, I decided to become a strong person strong enough to protect Brother from the holy temple and his followers fanatics who always want to harm Brother.
I realized that Big Brother is indeed strong, even stronger than me. However, he had no allies he could rely on. Ah, I forgot that she had Albert. And also since his arrival in this city of Painfinn, his reliable allies had increased. However, it was not enough to challenge the sacred temples that were already firmly rooted in the continent.
At the very least, I should protect Big Brother until his roots have been strong enough to protect himself from the sacred temple.
About that prophecy about Brother going to kill his brothers and sisters for the throne? How could I possibly believe all that shit! It must have been just a trick from a mere holy temple that did not like the existence that was opposite to them like Brother Helios who was in the ice element.
How could my tender-hearted brother and never interested in anything other than science do anything but kill his brothers and sisters for the throne.
After all, why should that brother of mine be so different from the other royal families? Not only her magic, but also the color of her hair and eyes. This is all the fault of the Father who inherited the genetic from Grandfather to Brother Helios.
Then now, new dangers lurk Kak Helios once the sacred temple finds the existence of Kak Helios who began to threaten after the incident of the king of undead.
Recalling my conversation with Ilene one night.
“It appears that the Hero of the sacred porters has appeared, Brother Leon.”
“Kakak still remember his prophecy right about what terms hero of the holy temple will be recognized by the world?”
“Kak Helios?”
“True. They need to make the existence of Kak Helios hated first by the public then the hero will come to defeat the tyrant Helios. But in fact now, Brother Helios even made his famor increase in the city of Painfinn. The sacred temple must be furious because of this matter.”
“Lantas, everything will be fine right for now since there is no reason for them to bother Kak Helios now?”
To my question, Ilene shook her head.
“Sister Leon takes too lightly the pettiness of the sacred temple. If there is no reason, then they can make it themselves. That is why they began to infiltrate the hero blending around Kak Helios in Painfinn.” City
According to Ilene's information network stationed at the sacred temple, the hero had managed to infiltrate Painfinn City and prepared to pounce on Helios. More or less, I have found one suspicious figure, but I must not be rash in acting before I make sure it is true that he is the one.
I finally arrived back in Painfinn City after taking care of the matter of the alleged imperial spy sneaking in this city as well as the threat of future war with the empire, then strolling around the courtyard of the mansion.
Suddenly I heard a noise around there and I came to him. Unexpectedly, I witnessed the figure of my brother, Brother Helios, who was with that suspicious person, Damian.
What exactly is he doing? Did he not heed my warnings against Damian at all?
***
That afternoon, Nunu was practicing a match with Damian and Alice. However, it is only Damian who looks serious training with Nunu.
Many times Alice floated her greatsword to fend off Nunu's spear, she always missed even though the target was only about 20 centimeters in front of her.
As a result, Nunu's spear was always able to hit Alice's armor. However, thanks to Alice's immense physical strength, no matter how many times the magic spear struck her armor, Alice's stamina seemed to always be fine.
Leon who then came and saw the scene, could only shake his head.
“Silk Boy, is Big Brother seriously training Big Brother's men like this?”
“Your Highness Third Prince! I know that you are indeed the royal family, but to the point of calling your own brother who is also the royal family with such a very disrespectful title, I am as the bodyguard of His Highness the Second Prince, He said, can't stay still.”
“And also Big Brother Trash, I told you many times to train your dog not to bark in front of the wrong person.”
For a moment, Leon and Helios and Albert who were in front of him exchanged silent gazes. Until then Leon again broke the silent sauasana in his words,
“Hah, stop. I'm just saying, hey, short girl (Nunu), the way you stream where it's really inefficient. Rather than imagining a large, powerful image, try imagining which stream is thin but sharp. It will definitely help you save more where next to your attack will be much stronger and sharper.”
“But my magic circuit is broken, I won't be able to do what His Highness the Third Prince said.”
“This has nothing to do with the broken magic circuit. It's about mind management. Remember that the power of a witch comes from the power of her mind in imagination. Then you're the big girl (Alice), until when are you gonna dodge your fear? You won't be able to become Brother Helios's sword if you continue to be such trash!”
“Aaaaaaah! I will not let my resolve recede just because of your insults, Your Highness the Third Prince.”
Although her words like that, different from the meaning of her words, Alice's expression did not show any inner opposition at all, instead she seemed pleased by Leon's curse.
Then looking at Alice like that, let alone be embarrassed, Leon even grinned satisfied with Alice's intimidated expression.
Helios who witnessed the sickening sight right before her own eyes, could only pat her eel in despair.
