My Dear Brother

Chapter 3

There was a time where Alfred used to stalk someone.
He never stopped loving them but he did stop stalking them at least. It took a lot of convincing but eventually he had stopped. Toris and everyone didn't know where this behavior came from.... but I do.

I saw it happen. The way my brother's eyes glowed when he first laid eyes on them.

My brother had fallen deeply in love with the second youngest son of the Freland Kingdom, well know as the East Kingdom as we are the North.

Prince Arthur Kirkland.

This all began a year ago at a ball taken place in Freland. It was just a huge party because it was for the first son's engagement party.

Alfred didn't know who Arthur was at the time but still had to go since he was invited and it was mandatory for him to.

Flashback to 1 year ago

Alfred and I arrived at the party somewhat early due to how many people arrived already, meaning a lot. Toris wanted just me and him to go since it would be a great experience for the both of us. These kind of parties were always so boring to me and maybe to Alfred as well but he did like to go and stuff his face.

We walked into the ballroom and looked around, seeing many people doing the same to us, knowing who we are and giving us such pity looks.

"God.. I don't like it here.. How long do we have to stay Matt?" Alfred asked as we had started walking away to draw less attention towards ourselves.

"Longer than an hour would be best. If we leave too early, we would have a bad reputation.. Even after what happened." I let out a sigh.

"Anyway you can go eat at the meantime you know? Or talk with others." I suggested.

Alfred nodded. "Eat some food sounds way better and less exhausting." He laughed and walked over towardsthe buffet table with me following him.

Around 15 minutes had past, Alfred had eaten a lot and wasn't ashamed of how little of a mess he was making. I did stop him a few times to clean after him and tell him to eat less but I didn't do much until he came by.

"Stop leaving such a damn mess you idiot." The British voice came from behind us and was cleaning a little of Alfred's mess. "You can eat a lot but do not make such a mess." He complained and looked at us both.  

I used this opportunity to speak up. "I'm sorry sir for his messiness. I do try to stop him but it hard to control his eating habits. I'm Matthew, his brother and servant." I bowed and waited for Alfred to respond after me but he was silent. I looked up to see him looking at the other blonde's emerald eyes and the other male was doing the same. They were both so lost at words. I coughed softly and lightly hit Alfred on the shoulder

Alfred blinked and blushed. "Oh! I'm Alfred. King Alfred of Deiwin." He smiled slightly, shaking a little since it was his first time introducing himself to others. He hadn't got used to it at the time.

The other male looked at him in shock. "King? The youngest king. I heard of you and I haveto say that I am terribly sorry for both your loss" He said as he bowed. "I am Prince Arthur. The fourth son." He smiled at us both.

I have to admit, Arthur was beautiful for a man really. His scraggy blonde hair, some strange thick eyebrows and such a slim body. And most of us, had a amazing accent which made Alfred swoon.

"I apologize for. My rude behavior your majesty.." Arthur blushed as he looked down, feeling ashamed.

Alfred shook his head. "N..No. Its fine, I need to hear that every now and then ya know?" He laughed softly.

This was whole different Alfred I never seen. I decided to leave them alone to talk which was a better idea cause by the time I had left to the side, Alfred and Arthur had gotten close.

They were laughing, smiling, times where Arthur looked like he was nagging the poor boy but it was lovely to see them like that even seeing Alfred to actually smile, warms my heart.

Eventually, they danced and danced for a very long time.

It was a lovely night for the both of us. Planning to stay an hour, went to over two hours.

Since Alfred was busy, I had nothing to do so I decided to go out towards the garden to get some fresh air for quite some time, thinking about what to do.

I flinched once I had felt a hand on my shoulder, turning my head to see..
