Childhood Royalties


- 8 years ago
Vincent Phantomhive's pov:

      |• There are no but a few memories that I took the effort and stick to my mind when I was at school. One of them were my memories with a foreigner from another nagion...

His name is Lant Agriche...

Though we were from different houses, we get along quite well. And now he's finally visiting me for the first time ever since we graduated.

He even brought one of his sons with him, how amusing that the boy looks just like him. Those blood-colored eyes and a very frightful aura, how troublesome...

"Its been a long time... Phantomhive"

I smiled at him, "Indeed it is, old friend..."

Lant gestured to the boy besides him with a smirk, "This is my son, Dion", and tapped his shoulder. The boy stepped forward and bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, lord Phantomhive."

I smiled down at him, "The pleasure is all mine, young lord", I responded.

"Speaking of children, I heard you have three, Vincent? Why don't you introduce us, it would be boring if children listens to Adults' chat", Lant suggested, I agreed.

Lant is such a sly dog, from the moment he stepped in this territory with a son, I caught his greedy tail wagging from side to side.

Tch, tch...bad dog.

"You're a much more dirtier mutt than me, Agriche.", I thought to myself...

I looked behind me amd called for our butler, "Tanaka, please call the twins, I want them to meet a new friend...", I asked him.

And he obligated, no questions asked, no wondering where Vermiel is...

"Twins? My, how terrifying. I might die just seing two clones of yourself running around the mansion", he joked, and I chuckled...

You might...

A few seconds later, Tanaka came down from the stairs with Ciel and Sirius in tow, holding hand in hand as Ciel drags his brother gently.

"Thank you, Tanaka", he bowed then walked away...

"Is there something you need, father?", Ciel asks enthusiastically, I chuckled.

"Yes, son, both of you—"

I gestured to the young Agriche, "Meet Dion Agriche, a new friend of yours", I said.

I gently pushed them infront of the taller boy, Ciel was the first to introduce himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Ciel Phantomhive, and this is my twin brither Sirius... Please pardon his silence, he's a bit shy with new people", he said with a beam. He then extended his hand to Dion, and the boy shook it with a noticable smirk...

"Dion Agriche, nice yo meet you both...I yhink we'll get along quite well", he says.

My crazy friend laughs from behind him. I patted my boys' heads, "Ciel, Sirius, why don't the both of you accompany Dion? It'd be much more better for you to create a bond", I said.

"Of course, father!/yes...father", they both replied, and immediately the three finally left.

For some reason, Lant laughs loudly as we sat on the living room. One of the maids pouring us tea...

I smiled at him, "What's so amusing?"

"Oh nothing...Why aren't you calling for your oldest child, Vincent?", He asked knowingly...

I hummed amd took a sip from my cup, "My boy might be years younger than your's, but they're quite the mischievous pair, I'm sure they'll amuse Dion perfectly...

Like he said, they're get a long well", I smirked at him.

Lant shook his head and dramk his tea.


Dion Agriche's pov:

      |• These two were far from my expectations, I thought they'd be like regular children and ask me to play with them. But here we are, playing chess, and with me loosing. It's frustrating me, yet I'm also impressed.

I've only lost to my father, but I'm currently loosing to a six year old. I'm four years older than these two, even his quiet twin is beating me.

"Checkmate,", Sirius muttered before taking away my only chance of winning.

"You two...are impressive", I said.

Ciel beamed, "And so are you, Dion~"

Now that I've met these two, where is their other brother? "If it's not rude to ask, where is your third brother?", I said.

And as I said those words, they look at me with raised eyebrows, like they're confused. And then Sirius seems to find something out and dragged his brother into a cornee where I can't hear them.

They're hiding something, or someone. Is that also why Earl Vincent didn't call for his other child?

The two finally faced me, "Sorry, but our older brother is a moody person, he doesn't like people that much, hehe", Ciel said akwardly while scratching the back of his head. I raised a brow...

"Y-yeah...He only hangs out with people he's comfortable with", Sirius muttered.

"And the only people he's comfortable with is family"

I hummed, "I see, but if it's possible, I might want to be friends with him soon...", I said...

Ciel tilted his head, "Oh really? Why is that?", He asked curiously...

Father said to not make the Phantomhives our enemies.

"It's quite boring back at the mansion, I'm surrounded by stupid people."

"That's understandable, our cousins come here every month to play with us because  they say it's boring at their home", Sirius said in a quiet tine as he picks up a fallen chess piece.

The queen...

"Hey, how about we go to the garden?", Ciel suggested. I nodded, standing up from the chair and following them out.

As we pass by a corridor, I halted and took a few steps back to check.

What was....

"Dion?..."

I looked back to them, "Yes, coming..."

I thought I saw someone standing close to the window...
