When Yuto reached the castle, he went inside and saw a teenager with ash blonde hair and red eyes sitting majestically on the sofa with his legs crossed.He wore a dark blue shirt and black jeans. He also wore an aqua colored cloak with the fish knights seal at the back and the side of the chest.He was 5'6 feet tall and His body was also perfect and well maintained.Yuto felt a series of emotions within him and didn't know how to express them at all."Big..Big brother Ryuto"Yuto called out and ran towards him.Ryuto who was sitting on the sofa stood up and brought his little brother into his embrace."Brother uncle shin..."Yuto tried to tell him about shin's passing but he stopped him."I know how you feel right now Yuto.He did his job well in serving the continent and was a wonderful knight."Ryuto said with a sullen look on his face."By the way, my little brother looks so handsome right now."Ryuto said with a mischievious smile on his face.He took out his phone and showed Yuto his own picture."Do I really look that good?people say that i am cursed because of these looks.are you cursed too big brother?you,ve got the same looks as me."Yuto said.Ryuto's smile was wiped off of his face the moment he heard Yuto's words.He felt sorry for his little brother and the pain that he had to go through right now.He was 5 years older than him and yet he was crying as well.
"Excuse me masters,Golden leader leon is here to see you."A maid approached them and said."Send him in."Ryuto orderd and a blue masqurade mask made of water zest formed on his face which was proof that he was a fish knight after making a contract with the sea monster fish. After a few minutes,Leon walked in.He was wearing a luxurious royal garb and a red colored cloak with the Tiger knights seal.He also wore a burning orange mask which looked like it was made of fire and it had a design with black tiger stripes on its burning orange surface making them feel like they were in the presence of a wild tiger. Both Yuto and Ryuto bowed their heads and curtised."Raise your head dear knights."Leon said and sat down on the couch."Greetings to Lord Leon the leader of the tiger knights.May i ask you what brings you here?"Ryuto greeted and asked. "Yes Ryuto,i am here to talk about Yuto if i may."Seeing that the brothers were surprised upon hearing his reply,Leon chuckled and continued to speak."Last night as i was passing by the Lion knights estate,i witnessed your brother being kicked out of the Lion knights"Leon said.Ryuto was surprised and turned to look at Yuto who was sitting next to him with his head hung low."What,why would they do that?He is still a knight in training but they reserved him to be taken in officialy when he turns 15.Yuto,is Lord Leon telling the truth?"Ryuto asked his little brother as he slightly raised his voice.They waited and waited until Yuto raised his his head and nodded slightly.He even told him everything that Jake said to him before he got thrown out of the gates.
"WHAT THE HELL??HOW DARE THEY DO THAT" Ryuto was red with anger.He looked at Yuto whose head was still low.The lion knights dared to throw his brother right after their guardian who was the golden knight passed away! And he was more than surprised to find out that they only took him in for their own benifits. And they even made him touch the precious lion head which was only meant to be touched by those who were willing to be Lion knights for life. To him it was an unforgiveable crime that has to be punished by death.Ryuto was an elite knight in the Fish knights and he was known as the the sea monster due to his talent in using water energy.Whenever he encountered an enemy,he always made sure to kill him for his crimes.For this very reason he was greatly feared and was considered the most powerful among the Fish knights after their golden leader.He was bloodthirsty and had the urge to kill anyone that caused harm to him and his allies.
"I am so sorry about that Yuto.But because they kicked out doesn't mean that the others will do the same. Anyway, i think its much better that you are no longer with them after they only took you in for their own selfish benifits.So i have a come here with an offer for you.Its the least i can do for you but its up to you to accept it or not."Leon said."Yuto,would you be interested to join the tiger knights as an elite"He asked. The crestfallen look on yuto's face was gone the momment he heard Leon's words.He almost gave up on his dream of becoming the golden knight.He knew that Leon did feel sorry for him but he never expected Leon to offer him a spot in the tiger knights.with that, his respect and love towards Leon deepened.Even Ryuto was surprised and happy that he bowed down to Leon until his forehead touched the floor."Thank you so much Lord Leon.I will never forget this.I was starting to get worried about my brother's safety when i am gone on missions when you said that he got kicked out."
But now that you offered him a spot in your knight force despite knowing what the others will probably think ,i guess i could leave him under your care."He said."Yuto, you will accept the offer right??Ryuto looked at him with stars in his eyes.Yuto thought about it and finally came to a conclusion."I accept your offer Lord Leon."
He said with a stern determined voice and had a soldier like expression on his face.He was happy and overjoyed and swore to himself that he would never let Leon down no matter what."Very well,i am so glad that you accepted it.But remember,you are still a knight in training and still far from being able to join a real knight force.You will be officially taken in when you turn 15.So work hard and remember that we've got high hopes for you."He said and turned to leave.
Later that night, Ryuto and Yuto were going for a ride in Ryuto's car. Ryuto looked at his younger brother with concern."Yuto"He called."Yes big brother"Yuto smiled and looked at his brother who was driving the car."Please be careful when i am gone.Remember that uncle Shin won't be there to protect you anymore."Ryuto said while looking into Yuto's eyes.Yuto felt like crying when he heard Shin's name but he controlled himself and laughed."hahahaha.Brother do you really think i am so weak that i would never be able to protect myself.Just wait and watch,I am going to become the golden knight and protect the whole continent.As for the other knights and citizens,i don't care about what they say though i almost gave up after uncle's death.I will just continue to work hard and prove to be the strongest knight in history. and most importantly get rid of this curse."Yuto said.After listening to his brother's words,Ryuto eyes were filled with pride and he glanced at the sky filled with stars.He prayed for his brother's success and knew that he would one day become a hero that would be the strongest."Now let's go.You've got an early start tomorrow."Ryuto said to Yuto and sped up towards the castle.
