Second Chance of the Sword God

My Brother is The Protagonist (1)

"Young Master Lenn! Please, where are you!? It's time for your Arithmetic lessons!"

A maid was seen looking for their young lord along the Manor 

"Sighh~ Can't a man take a break"

Along the trees in the garden, Lenn sat on a branch, hiding away from his pursuers.

It's been 9 years since his reincarnation and in those years, he has spent it all lazing around.

With an Erotica in his hand and coffee on the other, he laid down comfortably outside, basking in the summer sun.

"Brother! Where are you!? Mother is gonna be mad she says if you don't attend the lessons!"

He heard a voice near the tree he was lying on below. He saw a little kid. The sun reflecting on his white hair blinded Lenn, and the teary-eyed kid also tugged at his heartstrings.

It was none other than Lenn's Brother, Shion.

Ignoring the kid and reducing his presence even more, he enjoyed the peace he had been given

9 peaceful years was a luxury Lenn thought he would never be able to experience

After all, he has spent eons... fighting demons, monsters, and more.

But, amidst all of this, there was one teeny problem

"LENN! Come here right now or you will have no allowance this year!"

An angelic voice echoed throughout the entire manor carrying rough words

Once Lenn heard his mother's voice, his spine suddenly chilled and his panic started to show

***

Sigh*

I sighed at my mother scolding me in front of a lot of people

Why?

Well, not only did I skip most of my studies today, but she also found out that I'd been lazing around all day.

"Lenn! What is this? Why are you not attending your classes? This is not proper behavior."

Mother pulled me close and gently placed her hands on my shoulders

"Lenn, I... I want you to grow up to be a responsible adult. I understand that... being born without any talent may cause you to lead your life astray, but, please, I just want you to live a happy life—"

"Sheesh Mother, I already told you that it's fine~~ I'll just live off of Shion's success cuz he got it all, hehe"

As I said that, I pulled Shion close and played with his hair

"That's the exact thing, you don't even care what happens at all! You cannot survive just by leeching off your brother"

"Nah, Shion won't abandon me. right?"

I lifted him up into the air as we circled around

Seeing this, Mother couldn't help but sigh with a defeated smile

Because, for all of my nine years worth of living here, Mother blamed herself, for me having without any talent

I don't have a mana core

Unlike the other noble offspring, in the whole history of this said continent, I am the only one without any core

of course, I could hardly care about anything like that as I preferred it this way that I wouldn't be able to be forced to fight or something

When I turn 20, I plan to leave for a while to travel the world and stuff

Of course, That's only one of my goals

Anyways

Because of me being born with no talent whatsoever, Father, the patriarch of this family, did the deed with my mother a year after and, BAM!

Shion was born, but along with him is the insurmountable talent enough to topple over the empire.

He was born with a mana core so dense, that he got sick often during his childhood because his body could not handle any more mana.

So, Shion was simply the main protagonist.

Back then, Mother thought that I would get jealous but... Why the hell would I get all jelly?

I treated Shion with the best care possible, even though this was my first time being in a family like this, I still did my very best taking care of each other.

Except for studies...

***

As Lady Clarette, the 2nd wife of the Lord of the Spade Duchy, scolded his son for improper conduct, the maids and servants who were watching the scene could not help but laugh.

After all, after his Mother and his brother, the most important people in Lenn's life would be them, as their young master treated his servants like family.

"Hoho, Fol, isn't today a bit lively"

The old butler of the 2nd lady, Roger, laughed with a bright expression

"Kuhum! Young Master Lenn needs to be taught proper decorum, you still remember what happened last time, right?

Fol, the maid retorted

After all, what Lenn did was so scary that he almost got every servant in the manor executed.

***

"You know Fol, Father loves us kids you know?"

Lenn's words reminded Fol of what happened that day

Around a year ago, the 2nd family visited the main palace of the Spades. The chateau of the lord of the duke family of Spades

While Fol, and Roger were accompanying their young lord for a walk along the garden, he suddenly started a conversation

"I just think that Father is a super shy person you know? Haha"

His words flew like a feather

Other kids, would not be able to talk about their fathers like that, more so in this house

Arthur Polo Spade was notorious for being a cold-hearted person

His children freeze in fear whenever he is around, even the troublemaker of the 1st family, Lenn's elder half-sister, Leora, cowers in her father's presence

Yet, their young master talks as if he isn't concerned about such things

"I can observe that Father is like a big buff fluffy teddy bear, though he seems to be plated in Mithril armor, hahaha!"

Lenn laughed heartily like an old man, and when he turned around to face his companions, Fol and Roger couldn't believe their eyes

There he was, behind Lenn who was making fun of his Father, was none other than The Lord himself

They gave signals and tried to take Lenn's attention behind him but, every time their hands moved, Lenn's voice only grew louder

and when finally, the two servants were bowing, only then did Lenn realize his mistake

Or was that the end?

Instead of apologizing, he approached the lord and slapped his back with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Father! Don't worry! Even if you don't show it, this son of yours loves you truly! Hoahahaha!"

"..."

"hahahah!"

"..."

"!!!"   "!!!"

***

From then on, since that day, in the main palace of the Duke remained a crater so large, that it was never covered up, as well as in the minds of those present at the time, in their minds, they can never forget the smirk on The Lord's face, knowing that the Thunder God is capable of smiling.
