-Tahomma Kingdom-
"So? What happened?" Lee munched a loaf of bread while sitting on a sofa with Leonard scanned his documents on a shelf made of fine wood. They were currently in Leonard's office, which appeared more like a library with all of the bound documents on the shelves. But it does not look messy despite the amount of paperwork on his desk and tables.

"That..." he groaned, pinching the gap between his eyebrows. In his thoughts, he restrained himself from killing his older twin. They were the definition of 'loving siblings' of Tahomma Santos.

Sigh.

"Mmm... She doesn't want to marry you yet the Chief Eureka proposed one? That's creepy." His shoulders shivered with an imaginative expression of Kaira being chained as the key was being held by Eureka. However, everyone knew beyond the fourth wall that Eureka had treated his daughter that way.

"Thus, both of us decided to get to know each other for thirty days. If none of us fell in love with that given time, we will oppose the engagement," Leonard explained, pulling out a specific binder of green in color. He sat on his chair while putting that binder on his desk, flipping the pages back and forth.

"And if at least one of you did? What?" Lee paused from eating the bread on his hand. He hid his lip-expression behind that loaf while his eyes were unreadable as if he concealed his emotions.

"Then... we'll get married..." an ache pinched at both of their hearts for certain reasons. Leonard plainly stated that, deep inside, he doesn't like the idea one bit. 'Argh! I don't understand myself! '

"Haha!" Lee laughed at their solution with awkwardness. He knew that his younger twin hated the idea, but he would still marry the village princess, if she fell in love.

Twins with similarities still tend to think oppositely. Albeit they both don't understand themselves.

"Then, I wish you luck." He placed the bread down, losing his appetite for some reason.

"Hold on! I'm not through explaining." Leonard raised his palm to stop his older twin when he saw him partly standing up. Lee then sat back and lifted the unfinished cup of coffee. By the way, the bread he was eating was meant for Leonard, but he got hungry from hearing all the drama from his twin that he decided to take a bite—to claim it as his own snack. The same goes for the coffee he drank.

"In the span of thirty days, I want you to help me," he requested in a sincere way. His eyelids were rested, as his lips were neither frowning nor smiling. He does sit up straight with his hands playing with his fingers. "Please," he added it up with a slight smile.

Sigh.

Lee eventually gave in, closing his eyes as he poked his right eyebrow. He knew this was coming, yet he chose to stay. It was his mistake, and now he must face it. But seeing Leonard showed a rare expression made him felt concerned. "Help you? To what exactly?" he gazed at Leonard, who lightened up.

"You see..." he started off but was soon interrupted when the door burst open with a loud 'bam!'.

"Second Young Prince!" a man looking similar to Leal shouted out at the top of his lungs. He was sweating hard and his breath was heavy. "Lady Kaira!" he breathes out, still raising his voice.

"Calm down," fanned Leonard's hand to at least hush the roaring man. This young man was the son of Leal Hamilton, named Alexander Hamilton. Like his father, his hair was all white as snow and his eyes were gray. In fact, most Dark Guardians either have black or white hair and gray-colored eyes. It was their signature identity as a whole kin.
