The Black Prince and the White Princess

Chapter 10: Minato, Romio and Airu

Minato's POV.

It's been a few days now. A lot has happened during the past few days.

Romio was put under the surveillance of Head Prefect Airu, Romio's older brother.

And just as I thought, Head Prefect Airu suspected Romio having a relationship with a white cat.

Then I asked Romio.

Minato: Your brother is the Black Dogs' Head Prefect right? Whenever you saw him, you'll start to tremble. Did the two of you had a fight?

Romio: He was always been like that. He's merciless. He always punishes me and whenever that happens, he'll always lock me up into the shed.

Then Romio was summoned into the gym and he had to spar with his older brother in a kendo match.

But Romio is no match against him. Of course, everyone in the Black Dogs are afraid of him. He ruled the Black Dogs with an iron grip. Even the white cats wouldn't dare defy him. He will administer punishment either it'll be a black dog or a white cat.

Romio fell down and he couldn't even stand up anymore. His body is already giving up. Then his brother just said these words.

Airu: What a disgrace.

His brother has been so rough with him.

As a fellow elder child, I can't let this by. I didn't know what Romio did in his past but, treating your younger sibling like that, saying those words, I can't let it slip by.

I don't care if I'll be punished for defying a prefect but, it's too far.

So I quickly picked up Romio's shinai and I said.

Minato: Head Prefect Airu, with all due respect, can I request a sparring match with you?

Everyone from the black dogs started talking among theirselves.

Tosa: Oi, oi, oi, Your Benevolence, do you think you know what you're doing?

Kohitsuji: I wouldn't even dare to do that y'know.

Maru: Heh, let's see what this prince is going to do when the Head Prefect beats him.

Airu: Crown prince or not, I will not hold back with you. Prepare yourself Raiden Minato.

Then Romio is struggling to get up.

Romio: Minato please, this is a matter between my brother and I. I will-

Minato: Yes it is a matter between you brothers. But, I'd like to teach him a thing or two.

Airu: Teach me? What do you know?

Minato: About being an elder sibling that is.

Then Head Prefect prepared for a stance.

Airu: Ho? Well then, let me see what you're going to teach me.

I prepared to my stance as I tightly gripped my shinai.
