In the month of January, the warm sun rose as the first rays of sun lit up the entire human kingdom announcing the dawn of a new day.
The rays of the sun made its way towards the heart of the kingdom, there standing tall was the castle of the royal family of the kingdom.
The Solunar Family
In one of the open areas of the castle two figures could be seen sparring with each other using swords.
Their age could be said to be similar to each other from their appearance itself.
The boy was fighting in a training outfit just like the girl fighting against him.
His height of 5 feet gave him an advantage over the girl who was shorter than him by a few inches.
Both of them had a serious look in their eyes as they kept on engaging in combat.
Sweeping his sword with intent to cut down the girl's upper body but only to be dodged by her, the boy closed in on the distance.
With a spin the girl landed back on her feet firmly, her white marble-like long hair moved past her face revealing the face of a beauty many would kill and die for.
Even at the age of 10 she seemed to have developed well as the curves of her body were not something a girl of her age would usually have.
The boy dashed towards her in an attempt to catch her off guard and his own long raven hair that were tied in a ponytail swayed from side to side.
His face is equally beautiful and counterfeit to the girl. 'Luna, be more aggressive with your attacks.' hearing the boy call out to her the girl did nothing but nod her head in understanding.
As she started to counter back, Keiran kept on dodging and evading her attacks.
In response, the girl did not lose her cool and kept on attacking while trying to find any signs of opening in his defense. Seeing this the corner of the boy's lips curled up.
As if her wait came to an end she found an opening in his defense which she did not let go and attacked at that area.
Before the attack could connect it was stopped by the handle of the sword.
She looked up to see the boy smiling warmly at her, that smile made her heart skip a beat.
'Let's stop here for now.' hearing that Luna's grip on the sword relaxed as their posture straightened.
Before she could speak anything, a voice she came to hate over the years came to interrupt them.
" You are early today as well, your highnesses." Keiran turned to look at the bald man with an ugly face, who had just entered their training grounds without any permission.
He was their teacher and training instructor that Arion had introduced to them.
They never liked the guy, which is the reason they train early by themselves so they don't have to encounter him.
The man's gaze swept past him and lingered on Luna's body which was now covered in sweat. His gaze made the twin eyes turn cold as Keiran's grip over the sword tightened.
He always gaze at Luna with his lecherous gaze. Keiran was ready to kill him but Luna always stopped him as that would awaken their Ether and alert Arion and that unknown guy who was behind the attack.
" We are done for the day, so we will be taking our leave." Luna spoke in her cold and strong voice.
The man's expression changed for a second before turning to normal, but it did not go unnoticed by the twins.
" Are you sure your highness, I can teach you both some new techniques toda-" his words were yet to be completed before Keiran interjected " No need we are done for the day and today is the start of the arena, you can go back."
The man's face darkened hearing the commanding tone in the boy's sentence but he still complied and left the grounds.
" He should be a good first target for us."
Hearing Luna's words, Keiran returned to normal.
They both placed their wooden swords back in their place and started leaving the area themselves.
[ The time has come, the host can now activate that function. ]
Hearing the system's words, Keiran stopped in his tracks.
Luna was no better; she was practically beaming in joy. " So when do you wanna do it?"
Hearing her voice Keiran snapped from his thoughts and resumed walking. " After we come back from the arena."
His words made the girl's joy fade away.
The arena that they have been hearing about since childhood, it was finally time to go to that place.
Although they were just going to inaugurate the start of this year's competition, they could finally get to know what this place is all about.
They weren't allowed to go for the one when they were five years old but they heard about the participation of several contestants from different families and even the normal citizens.
They were all aiming for one thing and that was The Duke Rank.
As the duo reached their room they entered the bathroom and started stripping off their clothes.
Revealing their naked bodies to one another they made their way towards the sower.
Their hands meticulously moved on each other's body marking their figures as they cleaned off the sweat. Foam from the Soap started covering their body.
Keiran's and Luna's hands traced all along the curves of their bodies. Each nook and cranny was marked by their hands.
They have been asked to stop sleeping together in the same room by their mother as she saw them growing up but they just ignored her words by saying they don't want to be separated.
They have stopped letting maids inside the room when they were tall enough to get their things. No one knows that they still bath together.
Arion just told them to be mindful of how they act with each other in public.
He did not care about them sleeping in the same room but he did not want any rumors to be spread among the Kingdom.
After a thorough cleaning, they helped each other change into their formal clothing.
It did not take long as they were moved out of their rooms, Keiran wore a black turtle along with black pants, his black shoes matched his outfit but what truly brought out his outfit were his moon like white eyes.
Luna was wearing a black one piece dress along with a white blazer covering her upper body. The front of the blazer was left open, her matching black sandals complimented the dress and Keiran's outfit.
Taking his arms they made their way towards Seraphina's room.
Along the way they met with Erla waiting for someone.
They looked at her, as if sensing them she turned towards them as her brows furrowed for a moment.
They looked back at her and she was wearing a brown one piece dress matching her skin tone and also complimenting her hair.
"You two are finally here. What took you so long?" Her words caused the twins to look at her in confusion.
Seeing their confusion Erla sighed " Nevermind, where were you going?" They realized her intentions behind her previous words causing them to snort at her internally.
" We were going towards Seraphina's quarters" hearing Keiran's words, Erla's mouth twitched. ' Instead of visiting me, your mother. You are visiting that bitch's room.' a vein popped on her forehead.
" No need, she is already in the hall waiting with Arion. Let's go." Hearing those words the twins nodded and followed her.
