(STEFANIA SERRATI POV)
My name is Stefania Serrati. I'm the eldest daughter of Marquis Joachim Serrati. I have a younger brother who is in his death bed that worry me everyday. He got sick one day 3 years ago from a bite from a demon beast while we were outing. Dad been blaming himself for suggesting the area near the forest so he can hunt wild animals but a demon beast came out. I also have 2 half siblings from when dad cheated on my mom. They are the twins Adeltrud and Archid Otter. Some people call them illegitimate kids of a mistress, which is true but I still think of them as true siblings because they're just too cute like my brother.
Also last week, I was rescued by their friend named Ernesti Echevarria. I never seen a cute boy like him before. He looks so much like a girl. I really want to dress him up since Adeltrud won't let me dress her up. I really want mom to give me a baby sister. Is that too much to ask. As I was walking by the library I saw my sister Aldy trying to follow Ernesti to the library. A smile came over me and rush towards Ernesti to hug him.
Stefania: "Eru I missed you!" 😍I give him a big hug while rubbing my cheek on his face.
Adeltrud: "Ugh!😲😠Get away from him! He's mine!"
She tried to pull me off of him but I'm stronger. I'm not student council president for nothing. hehe😄😄. Ernesti just stayed there with a bored face😑 but I can't help it she's too cute or he's too cute. Well whatever, (😋hmm~ this is heaven.) 2 cute girls on me, we'll he's like a girl.
Then a messenger came running with the principal Laurie Echevarria also is Ernesti's grandfather.
Lauri: "Stefania, you have a letter stating you must come home right away. It's about your brother. Don't worry your grades are good enough for your senior year next term. You can take an early vacation before summer vacation. This counts as a family emergency.
The moment I heard that, my world stopped and crashed on top of my. My tears started flowing out and it was uncontrollable.
Stefania: "Alex... died😢😢😭.
Adeltrud: "Brother Alex died...😟😢😢😭
Lauri: "(Sigh~) I have no idea. It only says you have to come home and it's about your brother Alexander. Based on his condition last time, it probably is. I'm sorry for your loss Stefania.
Ernesti patted both sisters while they were crying, when Archid arrived.
Archid: "Hey what's with the waterworks. Did Ernesti turn you both down again haha😅
Lauri put his hand on Archid's shoulder and said the sad news.
Archid: "Alex died...😢😢😢😭
After packing my bags with the help of my personal maid, I rode the carriage back home. I cried the whole day journey. I remember when he was born until I last saw him as a very frail body. Everytime his heart stops or he stops breathing broke my heart. Well at least his suffering is over. But I can't stop crying. I miss him so much.😭😭😭
(END POV)
------------------------------
When the carriage arrived in the Manor it was already the next day. The carriage was riding slow all night due to the tired horses. Once she arrived a the front door, she couldn't open it. She dreaded the news of his brothers death and was frozen in place. But to her shock, the door opened and a happy mom came hugging her. She was in mental shock. How can a mother be happy to see her while her brother's dead. Then she starts thinking that it might be her way to cope with the loss by thinking he doesn't exist.
Stefania: "(sigh~) hi mom, it's nice to see you too😟.
Mary Ann: "What's with that face, aren't you happy to see your mom?"
Stefania: "It's not that mom, it's just.."
Her words stopped because in front of her was her very healthy brother Alex that's coming over. She was shocked beyond belief.
Alexander: "Hey sis, how's everything at school. I missed you a lot."
Her brain stopped functioning but her feelings made her run towards him and give him a bit hug.
Stefania: "Alex! huhu😭 Your okay, I miss you so so much huhu😭😭.
That day Stefania never let go of Alex. She go everywhere with him. She was like a koala stuck into a tree.
Alexander: "Uh, sis. you can let go now.
Stefania: "No, I will not. I miss 3 years of brother sister huggies. I'm collecting.
Marry Ann: "Hey, I want my turn too!😦"
Stefania: " No, you got him with you while you sent me far away to the academy. Not fair."
Alexander: "(sigh) "You know I need to take a sh*t now do you, I need some privacy.
Stefania: "What's a sh*t?"
Alexander: "Oh, I mean I need to poop. Discharge human waste."
Stefania: "Oh, why didn't you say so... Sh*t, sh*t. That's a new word for me. It's a very nice word. I will use that word from now on hehe.
She walks away towards the dining hall to eat breakfast and saw her father there reading some reports.
Joachim : "Oh Stefania, welcome home. Have you seen your brother?"
Stefania: "Oh yeah, he's taking a sh*t."
Joachim: "Okay, what the he'll is a sh*t?"
The next few days, Alex started his studies and Stefania tutored him mostly in history and territorial management. He also go to the kitchen and sampled all different herbs and spices and learned their name. He started making notes on how each taste. sugar wasn't white but yellow in color. salt was brown and sometimes black. Pepper look like red chillies. He started cooking getting full attention of the chefs around him. They are taking notes since the last food he cooked was heavenly. He also told them the measurements of all the ingredients. He is making spaghetti and meatballs, but the color of the dish is purple, since the tomatoes are purple in color.
At night before going to bed, he transport into his dimension and train on the operation of the mobile suits. It will take him awhile since he gets tossed around inside the cockpit. the g-force was too much for his body right now and he threw up a lot since he's not used to using some of his muscles for high speed moving. In short he have to work out a lot.
A week and a half later, they were visited by the twins Adeltrud and Archid who were crying when they came. They were surprised to see Alex working out in the backyard. They gave him the longest hug. Stefania has to pull Adeltrud away from him because it was her turn. Like that summer vacation started. He also got the news that Adeltrud and Archid is part of the knight order of the Silver phoenix. And was informed that at the beginning of the next school term, they're gonna challenge the National Laboratory of silhouette knights.
His father got invited to see the match, so he asked to be invited to watch the show. Since he won't be a knight runner and only takes basic lessons for the school, he allowed his son to see the match and miss a day of school. He also need to present him as the heir to his majesty anyways.
Alexander continued his routine the whole summer vacation with the occasional visits of the twins. Stefania always there when he wakes up, sometimes enters after exiting his dimension. So he hasn't got any sleep for quite sometime. He knows that he needs to hurry before the main storyline starts. By the end of the summer holidays, his body buffed up and became leaner. He became proficient in handling gundam Exia. The other gundams, not yet. He can now do flops and other acrobatic stuff with Exia. flying and transforming is all about timing. He is slowly turning into a proper gundam meister. Also turning into an innovator like Setsuna F. Seie. But with feelings.
After the vacation is over, stefania pulled Alexander to the carriage with his things to go enroll in Laihaila Academy. he waved hi parents goodbye.
Alexander: "See you in a month dad for the match, mom take care. Love you guys and will miss you."
In the following week, he got used in the classes. All his teachers were amazed at how advance his studies are. Well not really, after Ernesti that is. Still he already studied the whole book so it was like a refresher course for him. He was only there to make connections to other nobles and talents. He was not required to join the silhouette knight training since he won't be a knight runner, but still joined them otherwise. He was working on magic. Since he has knowledge in programming due to gundam softwares. He easily bypass the spell chants and do chant less magic. And thanks to the mana gem heart, he didn't need a want or a catalyst. But still uses the wand to disguise normalcy. He has his own room in the dormitory, so he can slip in and out into his dimension to train. The GN particles gets absorbed by his mana gem heart and sometimes his eyes turn starry. He gets sturdier each time he absorbs the GN particles that comes out of the GN drive engined. It helps him withstand the g-force of operating the gundam.
He also started training on the other gundams. Gundam Dynames, Gundam Cherudin, Gundam Kyrios and gundam Nadleeh/Virtue. These are the basic gundams for now. He will train the advance gundams when he fully master each and everyone of them.
