Seeing their cold looks return to their face Celesti let out a sigh. She could feel the air around them turn chilly. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the poor advisors trembling like trapped prey. Clenching her hands over her skirts she nodded her head in determination before rushing over, taking a hold of both their hands. Quickly she jumped up to their height planting a brief surprise kiss on both their cheeks. They're eyes widen frozen in surprise at their sister's gesture. In their frozen state, Celesti yanked on their hands. Their body moving forward down to her height. It wasn't till a hard banged sensation was felt on both their heads that they flinched coming back from their frozen state.
Gasping at what the young princess had done the old advisors' faces turned pale. Their souls seeming to come out from their bodies in fright. They watched silently as the two princes stood frozen in their spots. Their heads bent over as Celesti's fist slammed down the top of their heads. Only a frown could be seen on their faces as their bangs covered their eyes.
Slowly the two brothers straighten their back looking like tall beasts compared to the fragile-looking princess.
"Have you calmed down?" The princess asked taking a step back as she placed her hand on her skirts.
"Cel, you shouldn't use your hand like that. You could hurt yourself."
The chill that had in the air suddenly vanished. It seemed like spring had come as the two brothers looked down at their sister with smiles on their faces. The angered beasts no where to be seen.
The advisors watched with tears in their eyes. Thanking the princess for coming to the rescue.
"You two were getting out of hand," Celesti said looking up at the two, her hands placed on her hips. Looking like a mother scolding her children.
"And just whose head do you want?" Celesti question Sirius who had spoken up early.
"Well-"
Celesti cut off her brother's words pointing her finger up to his lips.
"Father almost fainted when he heard what you two are trying to do." Sighing she took a step back. Feeling tired she sighed taking a step back placing a hand on her forehead. Seeing her tired expression both brothers reached out their hands to her. Quickly the two started at one another with dark looks a spark starting between their glaring eyes.
Looking up Celesti let out another tired sigh shaking her head.
It had been like this since she could remember. The two always seemed to compete with one another to see who was the better brother. Betting who gave the best birthday gift, the first to get hugged or the first to receive a greeting kiss. If one did something the other had to do it even better.
Her empress mother would always laugh how it started when Sirius was the first to hold her after she was born. Later Rigel wanted to be the first to teach her to call her brother. Sirius wanted to be the first to teach her to walk. Rigel wanted to be the first to ride a horse with her. Sirius wanted to be the first to receive a flower from her. And so forth for years after.
"Enough you two. I know my big brothers want to protect me but I'm fine with this. Really." Celesti spoke out with a small smile. Both brothers looked back at her silently. Almost as if realizing how much their little sister had grown. The little sister who needed to hold their hands to walk. She had grown so mature she was now trying to comfort them rather than let them protect her.
Smiling Sirius stepped forward bringing him softly into his arms. Celesti's eyes widen slightly in surprise before her eyes soften. Her head fully resting in his chest as she welcomed the warm comfort her oldest brother always provided to her. Tears almost filled her eyes recalling every moment she would seek out his comforting hugs.
"No, matter how many years pass. You will always remain my beloved sister."
