He sleeped a bit more, he wouldn't like to do anything except sleeping when he was angry. He tried to focus on the warmth of his blanket and the softness of his pillow, and he waited for sleep to took over him again and carry him to sweet dreams. After a few hours, he woke up, feeling much more calm. Then he heard his brother and one of the servants were arguing, it was a rare sight cause who in their right mind would argue with their future king? He couldn't helped but eavesdrop to the argument
- He's just 10!
- You're looking at this wrong, you need to...
- I DO NOT CARE!!!
- Please listen, your majesty...
- Get the hell out of my sight if you think you'll miss your head!
- Fine!!
As he opened the door, he saw his little brother losing his balance and nearly falling down. He chuckled a bit.
- Do not eaves drop to peoples' conversations ever again, did you understood me you little gremlin?
- I wasn't eavesdropping you!!
- Oh, yeah? What were you doing right behind the door, then?
He couldn't come up with a quick lie to explain it.
- Go to your room, Sea!
- Sea?
- I decided to call you Sea from now on, have any complains?
As much as he can remember he never called him by his name, he usually referred to him as "gremlin" "kiddo" "headache" or "pain in the back" so he took a few seconds to react. He decided that he'd prefer being called "gremlin" or something to this. He liked being "Rain", being called by a name other than that was just so weird. 
- My name is not "Sea"!!!
- I don't like "Rain", so now you're Sea for me.
- You can't just call me "Sea" just cause you don't like my name!!!
- Yes i can. Now go to your room, you're grounded for eavesdropping!
- Can't you at least find a more regular name to give? And how can you ground me for it, that's not fair, you eavesdrop to my conversations all the time!!
- First, dad gave you  the name "Rain" do you think he wants you to have a normal name? I think Sea is the closest name to the one dad gave to you. And second, i'm do protect you, idiot! I'm your older brother and i need to be sure you're not badly influenced by other people!!
- I'm 10!!!
- Exactly! You're just a little child!!
- I'm NOT a little child!! I'm way more mature than you are!!
- GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!
Rain rolled his eyes and shouted;
- FINE!!!!
The real reason he was sending him to  his room wasn't to give a punishment, he just didn't want him to see him cry, or argue with his uncle and the palace staff. He was really mad at his uncle, and palace workers were agree with him which made him even more furious.
So he, like he usually does, made his brother mad again while trying to protect him from all the crazyness going on in the house. In his opinion, a kid needs to stay strong even when things are not going okay; they shouldn't be crybabies, and a kid needs to learn that life is hard, but there's a limit for it; Sea is still too young for household drama.
