Chapter 27

"Is it true?"

"Yes!"

"Why? isn't all the attention and affection of everyone on you?"

Zavier was thoughtful, thinking back to the attention he had received since he became Minka. Everything felt fake because he was just a stunt double who was considered dead by everyone.

"What is all the care and affection for when it is not yours?"

"What does it mean?"

"No, nothing! it's just that I think having siblings is better than being alone!"

"That's right! hahahaha ... I also sometimes want to be the only child in this family. That way, I don't have to see siblings fighting and arguing with each other. I can also enjoy all this comfort alone. But, after I think again, having a lot of siblings is not bad either. I can share many things with them, joys, sorrows and everything,"

"Is that so?"

"Yes! since childhood, we are all very close, we grew up together with a father who likes to laugh, but is very sensitive and caring. Mother is patient and full of love, they both try to treat us fairly. My eldest brother Robin, he is already 26 years old. Many girls who hope to become his wife. However, he thought that when his father was still king, he didn't need to rush to get married. He wanted to learn many things and gain experience before replacing our father. As the eldest son, Robin very mature and caring. He is always the middle man when there is a fight. Although always calm and thoughtful, when he gets angry he can be terrible!"

"Really? Robin was the one who carried me on his horse?"

"Yes, true!"

"Oh, I see?"

"Next is Nicholas who is only 14 months younger than Robin. As a second child, Nicholas is a calm figure who can always break the stiff and tense atmosphere. He is always relaxed and enjoying his life, his specialty is dancing and flirting with girls. He is liked many women, but every time he falls in love with a woman. Somehow his love is always one-sided, because the woman he loves prefers the authoritative Robin or the strong and manly Randall,"

"What a pity!"

"Right? hahahaha ... but even though he failed in love, he never gave up on finding his true love and tempted more women to get back on his hurt. His flirtatious attitude was really annoying for some people!"

"Totally the opposite of Robin, huh?"

"That's right! but even so, Nicholas really respects Robin, as well as Robin who really understands Nicholas. That's why they are both very close, not only as brothers, but also friends. Then, Matthew the third son who is a genius and likes to learn. Matt often spends his time in the library to study and read books, because of his intelligence, Matt always helps solve complex problems. Not much different from the calm Robin, Matt is the same. It's just that Matt prefers to spend time studying alone rather than socializing like Robin. After Matthew, there is Randall who is the tallest and most muscular of all of us. Randall is a tough and irritable person, but he is a very loyal figure to his family. For him, family is the most important. Even though he really hates father's laughter who for him is very annoying. However, he is always loyal to accompany and escort father in every event,"

"A very devoted figure, huh? what a great man!"

"Is it true?"

"Yes! reminds me of a friend just like him!"

The figure that Zavier thought, who else but Owen? one of his best friends who has the same character and determination. Faithful and selfless in service, traits that are rarely shared by people.

When he thought of Owen, he felt very worried. Nine days has passed since the soldiers went on a mission in the forbidden forest, Nathania has no idea what happened to Owen and the other soldiers. Although, he hopes that they are all well and return home safe.

"Does your friend always say that he will give up his soul to protect the person who is very important to him?"

"Yes! he is also very stubborn. But that is precisely what makes him so attractive!"

"You're right, Nathan! someone tough, it doesn't mean they are heartless. They just hide their tenderness under a mask of violence,"

"Next, who's next? there's more, right?"

"Here are the twins, Vincent and David. As I said before, they are not always alike. In the family, Vincent is a trouble maker who always stirs up trouble and David is the provocateur who will end up throwing all the blame on Vincent. The target of their fight is The stubborn and rebellious Richard as well as Claude. But, Claude was smart enough to silence them only with harsh words that came out of his mouth. It annoyed Vincent and always tried to get back at Claude,"

Nathania smiled a little, she didn't know why this conversation was getting more interesting, even though Jerome was only talking about his siblings. But for Nathania, this is very interesting.

"Are you smiling?"

"I think your family is very interesting, it must be nice to be together. Right?"

"Yes, very enjoyable!" seeing the sad smile that Nathania showed made Jerome see the sadness in her eyes and he began to understand it.

"You can stay here until your feelings become much calmer. You don't have to worry, we won't hurt you!"

"But, I ..."

"It's okay!"

"Tell me more about your brothers!" she asked. Even though the ears heard everything Jerome said, her hands were still focused on forming the image on the white paper.

"Hahahaha ... okay! after Vincent and David, the next son is me, then Claude. Claude is a cold, cynical and sharp-mouthed young man. But on the one hand, he is very critical and also smart. His attitude is too straightforward that often times make other people feel hurt. Even so, Claude doesn't care about other people's judgment, as long as he feels that his opinion is right. Outside the palace, Claude is the most hated because of what he said, but if you know him well and can earn his trust, he's a very trustworthy and dependable figure."

"Someone quite difficult to understand, huh?"

"You're right, not everyone can easily understand it. But, if you try, you will definitely find a good side in him!"
