Chapter 27: Chapter 27
That night Angelica went back to the capital and I went to sleep.
I didn't know that night, but tomorrow, an event that I could never have predicted would present itself.
***
When I woke up, I was immediately asked to wear some fancy clothes. I said no and decided to wear a black muscle shirt and some black jeans. The servants were reluctant, they said that the person visiting would be living with us for a rather long time.
But, I told them that if they would live with us for a long time then I might as well wear what I normally wear. This was a move by me to close the gap between whoever it was that I was going to meet. I had a feeling that they may prove to be useful.
I went downstairs while accompanied by Charlotte and Anastasia. Charlotte was wearing her lightweight body armour along with her sheath and sword attached to her waist. Apparently the person who was arriving was someone who I was meant to respect.
When I arrived at the gates if the house I saw a young girl, she seemed to be older than me. But when I saw her eyes and her hair my eyes couldn't help but widen. I was shocked, not just at my situation but at myself.
'How? How does someone like her exist?'
Her hair was snow white and she had a pair of crimson eyes that resembled my own. She had a pretty face and her facial structure resembled my own. She was slightly taller than me, she had a rather noble aura around her.
There was no way around it, she was undoubtedly an Avalon. But, she was never in any storyline or any route. There was no way someone like her wouldn't have been in one of the main storylines, I couldn't come to any conclusions due to my lack of understanding of the world. I didn't know If I was in a specific storyline or route.
I walked up to the girl and looked at her in eye, she looked back at me and smiled gently.
"I shall get straight to the point, you're some sort of long lost sibling or relative of mine, correct?"
"Yes, yes I am. Why don't we... go to another room and get acquainted? You're welcome to bring anyone you want."
'Why is she acting like the one who's in power of this situation?'
I brought Lillian and Charlotte to the living room, Anastasia went to go and get some refreshments and snacks for us.
"So, that blondie is your knight? Are you sure she's a knight? She's wayyy too cute for that, nobles are allowed maids right? Can I have her as my maid?"
I gripped the sides of the couch a bit too hard and they cracked, I released a light wave of killing intent.
"I-i see- I suppose I can let my little brother keep his seemingly beloved knight."
"You've yet to introduce yourself, and do not refer to me as your little brother. Only big sis gets to say that."
'I really don't want to get close to her for now, and will I let her steal my pawns. But by doing this I can solidify my position in Lillians heart.'
"My name is Cecillia Avalon, I am, biologically speaking, your older sister. So please don't be so cold to me. I've heard of your 'exploits' as a warrior and how you've fought in a battlefield and how you fought an assassin. So I can see why you're not the most sociable, so I'll let you off, but please do try to at least attempt to talk to me."
"I will keep those words in mind, why don't you tell me about your life before today."
"REINHARDT!"
Lillian screamed at me, I moved back and recoiled from how loud she was.
"H-huh?-"
"Ah- My bad, it's just that you shouldn't ask those kinds of questions. You don't know what kind of life she's led up until now, there may or may not have been some traumatic experiences that she may have had. So at least get closer to her before asking about her life story."
My eyes welled up as I forced tears, I was trying to create a weakness for Lillian, my tears.
"Ah uhh, don't cry Reinhardt. I-I'll go and get you your birthday present! Yeah I'll go and get that, I nearly forgot about it."
"Y-you nearly forgot about m-me?-"
"NO, NO NEVER. THAT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENED."
Lillian ran to her room to get me my present.
'Heh, she must've felt the pain of seeing me cry. I suppose my plans are working.'
"Pfffft-" Charlotte and Cecillia burst out laughing, they clutched their sides and couldn't stop shaking.
"Eh?-"
"Your name was Charlotte right? I think we'll get along fine. Also, Reinhardt, could you come here for a second?"
"Uhm, okay I guess."
I walked over to her, she suddenly pulled me into her embrace and tears streamed down her eyes.
"I can't believe it. I never really thought I'd have a family, before this, my mother died and I was out on the streets. But one of our soldiers found me and I've finally been brought back. I'll tell you this, I despise our father, I abhor him. He let my mother die and didn't help her when she needed it the most. But don't let that make you think I hate you, right now, you're the only family I believe myself to have."
"Ah- O-okay, I'll try to get along with you, but p-please let me go."
I wriggled out of her embrace and quickly sat back down, soon after Lillian arrived with a black hoodie that had a giant heart on it.
"YOUR PRESENT IS HERE!"
'I recall her having somewhat rougher hands the other today, wait, don't tell me she made that herself.'
I raised my arms and stared at her, her eyes flashed with understanding and placed on the hoodie on me.
"I made it myself, s-so how is it?"
I didn't answer and simply dashed to her and hugged her tightly. I looked up to her and grinned 'happily.'
That enough answered her question as she gently pat my head.

Imma be using ' ' to show that he's pretending to show an emotion from now on. when it's someone else's POV I'll do the same, they'll of course assume that he's pretending unless otherwise stated.
