Hearing Reinhart's question, Edsel and Edward looked at each other with anxious gazes. Although their expressions were still flat, but they were clearly frightened.
"K-We want to ask Brother 3 something."
Edsel said with a doubtful expression.
Reinhart wiped the sweat with a towel given by Isana. He then stared at his two sisters in surprise. As he recalled, these two brats usually never spoke to other brothers or sisters. They are always together and inseparable.
So when they came to ask him something, Reinhart felt both surprised and curious.
"Say, what do you want to ask?"
"Sister 3, has the mother always been like that?"
"..."
Edward's question instantly made Reinhart pause for a moment in her place. At that very instant, a blurry memory appeared in his mind.
When she was a child, stumbling and crying, her mother came to her aid without saying a word.
Slightly larger, Reinhart often achieves many accomplishments that no child of her age can. But his mother remained silent.
Recalling all the memories of his mother's figure, Reinhart suddenly felt that his back was drenched in cold sweat. Whether she achieved something or made a mistake, Queen Evelyn simply looked at her with cold eyes without saying a word.
Perhaps due to a mother's lack of affection, Reinhart in the original story actually chose to do everything alone and ended up getting killed.
'Why does it feel so much worse than my previous parents?'
Reinhart wiped the sweat with a towel while thinking hard. A father who only talks about rules, punishment, glory, and things like that. Mother who did not even change her expression when she saw her children hurt. You can imagine what kind of children are born from such parents.
Reinhart tried to recall some of his brothers and sisters. Except for Edsel and Edward, it seemed that all the children had flat expressions and looked loner. Having gotten used to doing everything alone, it seemed that they were completely indifferent to the existence of the other brothers and sisters.
'This ... Kind of horror, isn't it? Do I really have to live in this kind of family for life?'
At the thought of this, Reinhart suddenly realized that her two younger siblings were different. Since the two have always been together since infancy, it seems that they have a better sense of family warmth. At least, better than all the main descendants of King Aaron.
"Why are you looking for me to ask you this kind of question?"
Hearing Reinhart's flat question, the two boys involuntarily took one step back. Before coming, they seemed to be ready to be scolded or even beaten by their elder brother. So despite looking scared, the two did not run away.
'Does it look that cold?'
The question immediately came to Reinhart's mind. However, at that time the answers of his two brothers awakened the young man from his daydream.
"The 6th Brother told us to ask Brother 3."
Edsel said with a stammering tone.
"Yes. Brother 6 said, if we want to ask, we have to ask Brother 3."
Edward added.
Reinhart fell silent. He then remembered his brothers. The first child and 2nd child are 19 years old and married. Clearly, these two brats did not dare to ask them. The 3rd child was one year older than Reinhart, aged 16 almost 17. He attended the academy of the Silver Moon Kingdom. However, the girl was a descendant of Queen Charlotte.
'So, they're looking for me because I'm the second child of a mother? Wait a minute ...'
Reinhart's expression changed. He then clearly remembered that he and the other brothers usually called each other with numbers. 4th Brother, 6th Sister, and so on.
Thinking that, Reinhart was once again dumbfounded.
'Had the relationship been too cold and stiff! We don't even call each other names! This is already too much!'
"Edsel, Edward .. You don't have to be so rigid. You can call me Brother Reinhart or Brother Rein."
Hearing Reinhart's flat speech, the two boys were shocked. They looked at each other with confused expressions.
After a while, Edsel said.
"But, if we call in such a way, don't we disrespect you, 3rd Brother?"
"We ... We're not violating seniority?" added Edward.
'What kind of useless rules are those! The one who made this rule between the prince and the princess was a stupid and annoying b-bitch!
Reinhart roared inwardly, but still had a flat expression on her face. Really have an international acting actor.
Taking a deep breath, the young man then said in a calm tone.
"If you want, you can call me that. Just like the way I called you. I call you directly by your name, without using any title.
Do you guys mind?"
Edward and Edsel looked at each other. After a few breaths, they answered in unison.
"We don't mind, Brother Reinhart."
Hearing that answer, Reinhart nodded.
"good. Then you guys come back first. You can do what you want.
After lunch together, you can follow me to my room. I'll answer the questions you want to ask. But after 2 o'clock you have to leave. I need a break before I resume afternoon training.
Do you guys understand?"
"We understand, Brother Reinhart!"
Hearing that, Reinhart slightly raised the corner of her lips and said.
"What are you waiting for then?"
"We go first, Brother Reinhart!"
Looking at his two younger siblings, Reinhart seemed quite satisfied. Although the expressions on their faces were so flat that they were considered apathetic, but at least they still had feelings.
Reinhart then closed the door. He then took out an energy recovery potion then gazed towards Isana.
"We continue the exercise, Isana."
Looking towards Reinhart with a surprised expression, the beautiful woman suddenly smiled before replying.
"As you wish, sir!"
***
At noon, in Reinhart's room.
Reinhart sat in her study chair while her two younger siblings sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at his two younger siblings, the young man opened his mouth.
"So, you want to know about mom, right?"
"Yes!" Both of them answered and nodded at the same time.
"Honestly, I don't really understand either. After all, ever since I was a kid, mom has been the same. But you don't have to be disappointed.
Have you ever been hurt?"
Both of them nodded along with a confused look.
"Although mom seems indifferent, it's not like worrying about what we do. However, if you remember well, when we were sick or injured, mother must have been there.
Yes ... although it still seems indifferent. Mom actually treated our wounds, didn't she?
So it can be concluded, mother actually cares about us. It's also proof that mom loves us!"
Reinhart took out all of his head. Trying to find some evidence to fool his two younger siblings. Although he did not know if in his mother's eyes they were only tools or indeed considered as their children, at least, he did not want the two children to feel depressed because of the cruel truth.
Looking towards the two boys who had glittering eyes, Reinhart felt somewhat bitter. He felt guilty for lying to his brothers.
Feeling like crying without tears, Reinhart could only complain in her heart.
'Forgive your brother, boy. However, if you are looking for warmth in the Runegarde Family ...
You guys are really looking in the wrong place.'
