Nesuto and Neshia managed to escape out of the mansion to go outside. They climbed the tree and got a better view of the castle where their suppose father and half-brothers live in. "If we weren't abandoned by our father no, I mean the emperor, do you think we would be happy living there?" Neshia asked Nesuto looking at the castle.
"To be honest...I think we would but I hate the place because that man did not come to see us or save us." Nesuto told Neshia with hate in his tone. Neshia looked at her older twin with worry then sadness "Your right. I don't think I can ever forgive the emperor for not saving us." Neshia agreed with her brother.
They held each other hands while looking at the castle 'But I do wonder how our lives will be if we lived there from the beginning.' Nesuto thought to himself. "I'm sure we would be uncomfortable at first but we might have gotten used to being treated as royals." That surprised Nesuto at first.
But that did make Nesuto smile "Of course you would say that but...I do kinda agree to that." Nesuto shyly agreed, he didn't want to admit that they would have a great life in the castle if they lived there in the beginning.
"I can't believe we are still watching these illegitimate children."
"I know we aren't getting paid enough to take care of these mixed blood children and Herica."
Both Nesuto and Neshia stayed quiet so the maids don't find them, Herica most likely sent them to find the twins. They quietly sat up at the tree and listen to the maids talking. "Illegitimate children? Mixed blood?" Neshia asked Nesuto in her mind.
Nesuto looked at her, he remembered hearing about them. "They're probably unwanted children...so if they are talking about it that would mean us illegitimate are unwanted. I guess that means illegitimate children are unwanted by royals and nobles." Nesuto answered Neshia in her mind.
Neshia looked down but took a deep breath "It's not our faults for being born. We didn't asked to be born as illegitimate children! It's mother and father's fault for making us! I hate being treated like trash or some dirty stray!" Nesuto saw his younger twin in tears and in anger.
"What are you doing looking at the castle?"
The twins flinched at the unknown voice, they turned around to see a young teenager with long black hair and purple eyes. "Are you planning to attack the royal family?" The young teenager asked the twins but then his eyes slightly widen as he stared at the twins.
After a few more seconds of staring at the twins he mumbled something under his breath that not even the twins can hear. "...You're still alive...?" The twins looked at him confused.
The young teen shook his head "Never mind." He says to them and in the blink of an eye he disappeared right in front of them. "He was so weird." Neshia says out loud. Nesuto nodded "Yeah." They decided to head back to their bedroom since it was starting to get cold outside.
They managed to get inside their bedroom but they did hear the maids talking badly about them. They hated it but just ignored them, they dressed into their pajamas. "Let's get into bed Nesuto." Neshia tells her brother.
"Okay. Hopefully mother doesn't barge into the room in the middle of the night." Nesuto told his sister, Neshia nodded "Yeah." They cuddled together, this was normal for them because they didn't like being away from each other and they feel safe being with each other.
The twins fell asleep, they were sleeping soundly.
Nesuto slowly opened his eyes "Where am I?" He asked but no one answered him. Nesuto looked around seeing he was in an unfamiliar room. *THUMP* That made Nesuto jumped in surprised.
There on her knees was a younger looking Herica and a man standing above her. The man had golden hair and cerulean eyes "Is that our father and the emperor..." Nesuto whispered watching the two 'They can't see me. Am I dreaming or what?' Nesuto thought to himself.
Nesuto couldn't hear anything that they were talking about but it looked like the emperor wanted to kill Herica. "Why does he look like he wants to kill mother?" Nesuto mumbles as he stares at the scene.
Suddenly everything went dark. It was dark and silent again.
Nesuto eyes snapped opened as he sat up and looked around. When Nesuto looked around it was near dawn, it was so early and Nesuto was of course still tired. Nesuto laid back down and turned to see that Neshia was still asleep 'I'm glad that I didn't wake Neshia up.' Nesuto thought to himself.
They might be twins but they are really different from each other, they knew that. Even in their previous life they were so different from each other but they did have two things in common. The first is that they looked alike, Neshia was always beautiful and Nesuto was handsome. The second is that they both were intelligent, they always got good grades in their old lives and because of that they got into a good high school.
But their personality were so different, that just made Nesuto chuckle at that. Nesuto got closer to Neshia and cuddled her, they always felt safe together. Sadly the twins didn't get to sleep in because Herica barged into their room. "GET UP!! GET UP YOU FILTHY CHILDREN!!!" Herica shouted with a wine bottle in her hand.
Both the twins shot up while hugging each other, they were shaking in one another arms. "M-Mother..." Neshia shakely says as her voice was trembling. Nesuto hugged her tightly, he was trying to reassure her that she was not alone.'Don't worry Neshia, I'm here.' Nesuto assured her in his mind as Neshia nodded.
Herica glared at the two "Bring them outside!" Herica ordered the maids, they sighed but nodded. The maids grabbed the twins by their arms "Let us go now!" Neshia shouted as she was struggling, Nesuto was also struggling "Let us go! Let us go this instance!!" Nesuto yelled at the maids but they didn't listen. "Just shut up." One of the maids tells them.
They are now in the backyard of the castle, Herica was wobbling "You both are so annoying! I want you two to just die!" Herica screams at her own children, the twins should be use to their mother's words but they still hurt them.
"I wish-" Herica couldn't finished as she tripped backwards 'Don't look Neshia!' Nesuto shouted in his mind so Neshia could hear him. He even covered Neshia eyes with his hands as he saw Herica fall and get impaled by a sharp broken statue. "LADY HERICA!!!" The head maid yelled as all of them were panicking.
I watched our mother get impaled right in front of my eyes, I'm so glad that I was able to cover Neshia eyes in time. I couldn't allow my little sister to see something so horrifying, I would rather see it instead of her. Mother is dead...she's dead...what are me and Neshia going to do now...we're still young. We need a plan and find someplace else to stay, I refuse to stay here and I know Neshia will not stay here as well.
"Nesuto? Why are they yelling mother's name?" Neshia asked her brother as his hands were still covering her eyes. Nesuto brought Neshia head to his chest "Just don't look." He tells her.
Neshia didn't say anything, she just nodded her head. Neshia knew that her twin brother just wanted to keep her safe and protect her from anything that will harm her.
They stayed like that until they were forced back in. "Stay in your room until further notice, you illegitimate children!" A maid tells them as she shuts their room door. Neshia looked at Nesuto as he looked like he wanted to puke.
"What did you see Nesuto?"
Nesuto didn't answer Neshia 'I don't want her to know. I don't want her to be scared...' He thought to himself as he grips his shirt. Images of Herica death kept replaying in his head. "So are you going to tell me?" Neshia asked once again.
That just made Nesuto grip tighten on his shirt "NO! I will not tell you what happened, so don't ask me again!" Nesuto shouted as he was just looking at the ground, he didn't want to look his sister in her eyes.
Neshia looked at her brother with worry in her eyes 'You always protect me...even if it meant you get scarred.' Neshia thought to herself as she looked at her terrified brother.
It was late now so the twins decided to go to bed since they were tired. Well Neshia was tired while Nesuto was fully awake. Nesuto didn't want to sleep but he pretended to sleep until Neshia fell asleep.
Nesuto was watching Neshia sleep, he couldn't sleep because of what happened that very night. Nesuto was afraid that if he closed his two different colored eyes than he would see his mother death over and over. He was just glad that Neshia was able to sleep peacefully and not see their mother's death in her dreams.
'Have sweet dreams Neshia.'
With that thought, Nesuto kissed his little twin sister on the forehead and smiled at her. "I will protect her from seeing or hearing horrible things."
