I Am NOT A Hero

Chapter 8: Accepting my fate...

Two weeks have passed since my sister brought me to a party along with her. I had a lot of interaction with her recently improving our relationship as a sibling and with the maids and butlers but...I don't know why she was acting a bit...strange lately.

at first, she would always check up on me every morning and thought nothing of it. then in the morning as I just woke up, I always found myself being hugged like a doll.

I asked her why and she replied "Why not? you're my brother!". and after myriads of reasoning, she finally stopped doing it which is a relief for me.

And also In two weeks, I have trained my body.

My strength is not comparable to Star Platinum I know that I would never do...but at least I will try not to be blown away by its overwhelming power because of the shockwave from its punch since it was stronger than I thought.

I'm doing this not because I want to become an adventure or something. I'm doing this only because I want to accomplish my parent's wish. but if I have to become an adventurer to do so, then so be it.

I was on my knees as I panted like a dog after I'm done with my morning exercise, running, push up, sit up, and so on.

My sister had given me some advice on how to increase my strength, although, sometimes I broke the rules and kept going until my body ache. and get scolded by her because of it.

"Here your drink, master herumi" a maid come to my side as she gave me a bottle of water.

"Thanks,"  I said, as she nodded and smiled. I still feel weird to be called like that though.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" I said, the maid nodded.

"Yes, master"

"can you just...called me by my name, I know it's for honor and royalty but...honestly, I don't like to be called like that" called like that, showing 'I'm inferior to you, is not suited me. feels weird you know...

and apparently, the old Herumi wasn't familiar with it either.

"Sorry master Herumi, we servants have to call you like that so people know that you have authority and your sister is also making big changes and peace within the kingdom and that CAN NOT be taken lightly. as your servant, I'm honored to serve you" said the maid while bowing and slightly lifting her dress, as she smiled. 

I stare with a blank expression at her as I blinked...couldn't help but cringe for some reason. I may have to accustom myself to this but still...I was like 'seriously?'

I sigh in exhaustion. that's the thing I don't like. this maid is persistent.

"despite I have an authority you're still older than me, MOREOVER," I said as I pulled my glove, suited in my hand before continuing.

"It was my sister who makes the changes not me" I don't like to take credits because my sister is a war maiden because I don't make any participation in it. I know that I can make my image If I want to but...

that would be a pain in the ass as I kind of lazy and not a good conversationalist except with someone I already knew and am familiar with.

In my old world, I tend to keep quiet to avoid any unwanted attention. I like to be alone (still single and gave up on making relationships because of constant rejection) and I don't like getting surrounded by other people. just mind my own business that is.

and I don't realize that I became a lone wolf...

I'm just an average here. why does it matter if I was a brother of War Maiden anyway?
