【➹】 Takumi jolted, becoming flustered by the new recruit’s mannerism. Every word felt as though he was spoken to like a child— teased. Even when the stranger was a newcomer, he put the prince off with an air of superiority somehow, a mysterious vibe which only brought discomfort for Takumi. It was the same way the young man approached him in the middle of his nightmares, and he hated how reality reflected those dreams.
「 D-don’t get cocky ！」 he cried, his shoulders stiffened upward as his hands pulled down to curl into gloved fists. He was further irritated after realising he didn’t even know the stranger by name. The name eluded him, just as it did in his dreams. Surely the newcomer had properly introduced himself to Kamui, the sole thought didn’t help the younger prince relax in his position. His older brother had a habit of being too trusting of others, which has helped strangers in the past with ill intentions.
Yet, for some reason, Takumi couldn’t help but feel as though he was also the target of some unknown plotting, only prompting further uneasiness. And so to make his royal status more clear, he glared in hopes to push aside his anxious heart.
「 If you’re going to approach a prince with a greeting、 you should do it properly… By the way、what’s your reason for joining my older brother’s army ？ 」
▌♤▐ ━ The young man could not help but laugh at the child’s reaction of how he was spoken to, however, it would be for the best that he tone down how he made his reputation for seeing himself highly above others, even the royals...In the end, that was merely an act to push other human beings away from him, so that they do not grow attached to him, and so that he may not do the same as well...Be on your best behavior from now on, do not let anyone get comfortable enough with oneself, but also do not push them away either...
Reality had snapped him back into place when the youngest prince had questioned him as to why it is he joined his brother’s army, his previous behavior being put down, the blue haired male would raise a gloved hand to pinch his fingers on the bridge of his nose. Another gesturing downward, as if trying to settle the other down and let him know he was sorry.
❝I offered my strengths to your brother as a way to further show him my gratitude for defending the village and its people that...They became a sort of family I did not have, and had it not been for him, I would have lost that.❞
All of that ran off his tongue sounded truthful, but in reality was just a big lie...He was good to those people, yes...But, the youngest Prince didn’t need to know what had to happen to make sure things go as they are supposed to...
