The Kertia Family (Noblesse Fanfinction)

Just Like My Brother

The boy was walking forward, his heels hit the floor regularly, and silently, his footsteps were barely audible, he made haste through the corridor

***MEAWHILE***

"Good morning" said the man, while tea was being poured down before him,

"G'morning" said the child, in a sleepy voice while rubbing his eyes with both hands.

The little child then proceeded to climb up a chair that was pulled back by one of the servants that circled around the table

"I'm fine" the boy gestured.

The servant then proceeded to push the child's chair closer to the table, the boy continued to rub his eyes and looked around lazily,

"Where's Hyung?!" He said almost jumping off his chair

"Ah, Lazark" said the man sitting at the head of the table "he has already made his way out"

Upon hearing those words, the child slipped off his chair and ran out.

"I'll get going too" he yelled

"Sure" said Rayga, but the boy was already out of the dinning room, Rayga picked up his cup and half smiling he muttered to himself.

"They sure do grow up fast...what of it now...? My lord...."

***MEANWHILE***

The child ran as fast as he could despite his small legs which he happened to curse along the way, he then stopped to regain his breath and upon perceiving his brother walking calmly a few step ahead of him he ran as fast as he could

"HYUNG" the child yelled, but the boy did not budge, his pace was a regular as it had been.

"HYUNG, WAIT" yelled the child gripping onto his brother's cloak, the boy turned around

"I told you to stop clinging onto my clothes, Rael, rid yourself of that habit, will you?"

The boy then turned around as the child let go of his cloak, the child that was now walking behind his brother imitated his brother's groove, half smiling to himself, he then proceeded to hold his brother's hand, which the latter did not shake off,

"Rael I will drop you off at the gardens, you cannot come with me" said the boy looking into his brother's eyes

"But I want to come! " muttered the child...

"Rael" said the boy while bending down to reach his brother's eye level.

"I'm quite sure that you will find my class 'boring'" he said while mimicking his brother he had watched say that word so many times before.

"No, I won't find it boring, I promise! I swear! " said the child with sparkling eyes.

The boy looked down and spoke

"What of your attire, Rael, do you think sir Gejutel will overlook the fact that you are attending his class in your night gown?"

"My what?" The child then suddenly realised that he wasn't even dressed up, and that he had been walking around in his pyjamas.

The boy smiled.

"You will attend your own classes soon enough, Rael"

He put a gentle hand on the child's head, the boy then stood and continued walking,

"You should head back home Rael, just go straight from her and turn left at the creation painting"

The child frowned, he did not turn around like his brother instructed him to do, he continued tailing his older brother.

***DURING CLASS TIME***

Lazark sat at the very back and made his brother sat right behind kei ru hoping that it would hide him, the door opened and sir Gejutel walked into the classroom, he was carrying books under his strong grip and slammed those against his desk,

"Good Morning Everyone" said the old man sitting behind his desk

"Good morning sir gejutel" chanted all the students.

"Open Page 2032 paragraph 3"

"Eleanor Rozaria" said the old man

"Upon meeting a human. What must a noble never do? " he asked

The girl who had been asked the question cleared her throat.

"One must never drink human blood, in fear of producing a meaningless contract" said Rozaria

"Good" the old man muttered.

Meanwhile Rael was watching another noble, the noble looked young and was frantically writing whatever he heard, the tips of his fingers raced around his blank pages, he made no sound and knotted his eyebrows expressing a fully concentrating grimace.
Rael waved at the other noble, and he tried hard to get hus attention, the noble noticed him, inhaling audibly he whispered

"Rael? What are you doing here? " Rael grinned

"I'm going to be the next Kertia clan leader, Ludis-nim that's why I'm here" said Rael boasting his chest.

The child then felt a tight grip on his head the hand directed him to look forward, Rael rubbed his head and moaned at his brother who was the one who interrupted his chat.
Sir Gejutel started to pace around the classroom he slowly walked on the far left row, where both Lazark and Rael were sitting. Rael was gripping his brother's cloak and whispering far too swiftly,
"It's going to be all right" whispered Lazark

Before Rael could even reply he found the old and intimidating man standing right in front of him, Rael quivered, he then helplessly looked down. Gejutel sighed.

"Russard take this little Kertia away" he said gesturing at a silver haired man sitting a few desks ahead.

"I will sir" he said while offering his hand to Rael.

Rael reluctantly took Russard's hand and they both made their way out.
