It was a rather peaceful day for Anastasius. He was woken up by his handsome butler, Icarus, and was served breakfast by his adored chef, Klièr. A tiny feast that consists of his favorites namely: tall glass of warm milk, custard-filled croissant and light scarmbled eggs on toasts. And like any other day, the servants ate with him because of his countless plea for them to do so, with his teary angelic eyes and pitiful voice saying 'Eating alone is lonely', nobody really dared to refuse him. Everything went well after that.

However, this lovely peaceful day was broken by a certain young boy who suddenly barged into Anastasius' study room while the latter was sketching. The young boy was clearly out of breath as if he just walked past through a war.

"You!...A Mother thief!" accused the red-haired younger to the silver-haired prince.

"...Crown Prince?!" Exclaimed everyone in the room except Anastasius who seemed too confused at the moment so he just gave the boy an uneasy smile.

※East Palace' living room

"May I ask what I can do for Your Highness?" Anastasius asked in the most polite way he can. They are currently sitting in the East Palace' living room and are being served sweets and milk by the servants. The young prince just fidgeted on his seat, cheeks flushed because of how beautiful his older brother's smile is. 'Aww he's so cute!' Anastasius cooed inside, unaware of the cause of Lucas' sheepish reaction.

"Y-You've been hoarding my dear mother and keeping her to yourself! She- She always praises you in front of me! She doesn't praise me anymore!" Lucas whined while stuttering.

'It is true that the Queen has been visiting me often these past few days, but she always boasts about the young prince though? Oh, she also told me how the young prince would never compliment her, and how he always teases her and calls her ugly names.' With this thought, Anastasius (somewhat) understood the situation.

"Perhaps Her Highness was just waiting to be wooed by Lulu." 'Oh, I slipped' Anastasius said to himself as he accidentally called the young prince by the nickname he came up with. It's just that 'Your Highness' is too long and he thinks that such a cute kid deserves a cute nickname too.

"L-Lulu? How dare you call me that- that name!" Lucas complained, he doesn't want to be called cute names because he wants to be seen as manly. "But it suits you Lulu, You're the most adorable younger brother in the whole world." Anastasius coaxed, he's becoming a bro-con but who cares? He never had a real younger sibling to spoil so he's more than happy to become a competent (spoiling) older brother for the young child in front of him. Although Lucas hates being called cute, he still liked the compliment that his appearance is superior among others.

"W-Well, If you put it that way then I'll just let you off I guess." 'Oh he's a tsundere! Cute!' The older prince thought with a warm smile plastered on his face. The younger likes to act matured and it's adorable for him.

"Oh, by the way what do you mean she likes to be wooed?" Lucas asked innocently with a determined expression. Even if he teases his mother everytime, it's still evident that he loves her.

"I'll tell you if you call me nii-chan!" Maybe Anastasius (Yuu) is going overboard but it doesn't matter, he's never been called nii-chan by a real younger sibling so he's looking forward to it.

"Nii..chan? What does that mean?" Lucas inquired once again, wearing the same determined expression.

'Oh, I forgot that they don't know Japanese'

"Nii-chan means older brother, It's from a foreign language that I adore." He explained. Lucas doesn't mind calling his older brother any names but that certain honorific sounds embarrassing to say. Nevertheless he still did it, he's desperate to regain his mother's affection after all.

"Tell me what you mean by my mom, wanting to be wooed. Nii-chan..." Lucas asked while blushing. 'Cute!!!' Anastasius thought, he feels like he just achieved his dream of having a real family.

"Her Highness has been telling me how you always call her ugly names. A woman's heart is delicate and you can't tease them the way you tease your playmates. You should always tell her she's beautiful and you should respect her." The older prince taught the younger prince, just the sight of the cute brothers interacting for the first time made the servants' hearts warm.

"But she's not beautiful, she's plain!" The younger insisted.

"Do you really think Her Highness is not beautiful? Do you mean that other noble ladies are prettier than your mother?" Anastasius asked, he knew that the younger prince didn't mean his insults.(he's just a tsundere). She's his mother after all.

"No! Mother is more beautiful than everyone!" The younger prince exclaimed

"Then you should tell her that when you get back to the main Palace."

The pep-talk was successful. The young prince left the East Palace with puffed chest. Anastasius thought it would be the last time he'll be seeing his younger brother but it seems like the latter enjoyed his nii-chan's company that he made it his habit to drop by the East Palace everyday after his homeschool.
