A luxurious carriage with a snowflake crest on it stopped in front of the Willoughby Duchy. The footman opened the door of the carriage and two white-haired teens walked out of it, the older one hurriedly walks to the gate
"Hey, Shion! wait for me!" the one that seems to be younger said while catching up to his older brother
"*sigh*, hey Schlain, aren't you the one who said that we should hurry?" the older one named Shion said while turning his head to look at his younger brother
Schlain slowed down his pace of walking and scratched his head vigorously as he looked at his older brother with an irritated expression
"I did say that, but it didn't mean that you should leave me behind!" Schlain said as he finally caught up with Shion
"Tch..." Shion clicked his tongue and continued walking like he heard nothing
Schlain could only grumble at his Brother and follow him until they reached the gate of the Duchy, when they arrived, the maids and butlers greeted them while bowing their heads
"Welcome home, Young Master Schlain and Young Master Shion"
The two brothers only nod in response before the assigned maids and butlers guided the two to their respective rooms
"Hey, Schlain, after you finished preparing don't forget that we need to greet Father and Mother,"
Shion said while entering his room
"I know that you prick! you don't need to remind-"
Bang!
Schlain could not finish what he was saying when Shion slammed the door close, he could only growl in frustration as he also walked inside his room
...
Snow was woken up by a rustle beside him he opened his eyes and saw the beautiful face of his mother staring warmly at him
"Good morning my child" mother leaned down and planted a kiss on my forehead, I felt comfortable, so I snuggled up to Mother
"Is he awake?" the voice of Father asked from the door, Mother nodded as a response and I felt Father sit in the bed where Mother and I was
Father looked at me warmly before turning his attention to Mother
"They arrived..." Father said with a tone that he is looking forward to something, he looked at Mother and they exchanged mischievous grins, I felt a chill running down my back as I look at them with a confused expression
As I was wondering what they are thinking, a knock came from the door and I heard Sebastian, the head Butler, saying that Young Master Schlain and Shion is asking permission to enter
Father looked at me with a smile as he answered Sebastian
"Let them come in..."
As soon as Father said that the door immediately opened and two white-haired teens entered the room, the door behind them was closed by Sebastian, they continued walking and stopped in front of the bed as they bowed their head slightly and greeted Mother and Father simultaneously
"We greet our Father Archduke and our Mother Archduchess," they said with their head still slightly lowered
"Raise your heads..." Father said which the two teens instantly did
"Welcome home Shion and Schlain, how was life in the academy?" Mother asked
The two teens responded
"It was fine, just a bit difficult especially the class that teaches how to control the power of your magic " the older one with dark black eyes like Father said
Mother smiled and nodded before turning her attention to the younger one who has the same color of her eyes but with a darker shade
"How about you Schlain?" Mother asked
"It was so-so, and I had a hard time dealing with a lot of girls," he said chuckling
Father smiled wryly like he had experienced that too, Mother let out a light laugh before turning her attention to me
"Snow, meet your Older brothers," she said
I finally had my thoughts cleared, so they're my Older brothers huh? I suddenly remembered Father called me his third child and I thought how I could forget that important piece of information
Shion and Schlain looked at me, wait I think I must address them as 'Big Brother', I stared back at them and their lips formed a smile, they both walked towards me and introduced themselves
"Hello Snow, I am your Eldest Brother, Shion Clark Willoughby," he said and gently patted my head
"Hey! I should be the first to introduce myself Shion! ugh, anyway little Snow, my name is Schlain Geyser Willoughby" he introduced himself and patted my head
I noticed our first name all begins with the letter S, I remembered the system that I have, its name is Shiro right? its name also begins at letter S. I unconsciously smiled and looked at my Older Brothers
I remembered what Shiro told me, and I could only sigh internally before an idea popped into my mind
'Shiro, can I know the names of Father and Mother?'
[Yes, your Mother's name is Sylvia Heather Willoughby, and your Father's name is Syrron Maximus Willoughby]
Wow all our names begin with the letter S! Shiro started talking again so I listened attentively
[There is a reason why it begins with the letter S and you need to learn all of it to unlock the privilege to use mana and produce magic]
My motivation suddenly became high, and it became higher when I heard what Shiro said next
[You need to be strong to fight for yourself and defend the one you care for, you will meet your fated person at the age of 5 and he is much stronger than you, he needs his lover to be strong to be able to stand by his side so train hard]
I was delighted by what Shiro said but the last words it said made me shudder
[I almost forgot; you need to be strong at a YOUNG age because your brothers have BROTHER COMPLEX]
I looked at my Older Brothers and flinched when I saw their eyes having a strong possessiveness
Well, I think I need to train right now
