"Maxine!" she heard his two brothers called for her name from behind. She was startled by the sudden call so she glanced over her shoulder. Looks like Maxillary did not need to save the fifth son anymore...
If that was the case, surely, there would be a leap in the events that would follow.
'Am I not the only one? Did he also went back from the past?' was the only thought that came to her mind.
What happened before the current situation...
A kid with a deep ocean hair and pair of orbs like the sun was sitting on the open window. The breeze entered his nostrils as he inhaled the cold air of the winter. The scent of olive oil was mixed in the stiff air.
It was snowing again.
He spread his palm under the white sky and a little snow gently landed on his palm. The color of the snow looks like her hair but her's was more alluring, attractive and beautiful like a shimmering silver of snow under the moonlight.
His thought was clouded again by the only woman he wished to serve.
"Hmm... Is it this time?" the kid asked himself in a whispher when someone knocked at his chamber.
"Y-Young Master, the preparations are complete. T-the party has to begin." a maid told behind the doors with a shivering tone. Fear was evident in her voice.
The child with an atrocious face smirked as he jumped down the window. He approached the door and opened it.
First thing he saw was the maid in 20's with a lot of freckles in her face, small hair covering her face as she bowed down infront of him, trembling in dread.
"Alright. Scram." he said dangerously, smirking devilishly.
The maid immediately flew away as soon as she heard a word. No one was able to bully him anymore in the Manor since he woke up from falling off the cliff because of his brothers who pushed him off to dispose him. Unluckily for them, he survived and here was his soul, went back to the time he was still a kid.
It was frustrating for him that he still need to wait for 15 years before everything happens. However, this was also good since he could change their fates by moving some strings.
He was not the past Drenschville who could not do anything but to stand behind Maxillary Zachrono, his so called best friend.
He walked gracefull in the middle of the abandoned South building where he lived alone all his childhood. The crappy building where he grew up since they told him that he was just a child of a maid, born outside the marriage.
His mother died one week he was born.
He was aware that the Viscount killed his mother in torture so his mother could not support her child to be in line of successor and the idea of killing the Viscount's whole linegae of family would be disregarded since no one would back him up to have a power.
But little did they know, in the past...
He went to the other building where the banquet hall was situated. He could already hear the claps of the crowd from the place so he thought that his fourth brother has just been introduced to everyone.
Time for him to look for HER.
No one paid attention to him when he entered the hall, he just caught some eyes but they immediately went back chatting. He huffed. How foolish and ignorant.
He already expected that after a few years, they would come crawling under his feet.
He planned to find HER first but the banquet were swarming with people and it would be hard to find her.
He knows that he would definitely see her here anyway so he went to their table where his brothers came.
Just after seeing him, their nerves had ran cold from their scalp to the tip of their fingers. The bastard still decided to show up in the end.
They could feel the danger and malice around him but their disgusts towards him did not vanished. Moreover, they pretended not to be scared infront of him. His fourth brother was not here, probably greeting his guests with their parents.
"Why are you here?" the oldest, first brother asked with animosity. The youngest squinted and ignored his question because he believe that nothing would come good talking to someone like his brothers. But his brothers were just in time when he was planning to draw attentions.
He looked around and grinned deviously without even bothering to hide it.
"Hey! I am talking to you!" the first born was irritated. Before the eldest could look back to his brothers, Drenchville activated the divine power he has and levitated the three plates properly rested on the table and it flrw towards his older brothers's faces.
Before the plates could even reach their faces, it stopped in the mid-air infront of them.
Their eyes widened in shock before the plates dropped shattered on the ground.
His brothers were startled on what he did. They clearly told him not to unleash his power publicly. They did not even know that he could already control that massive amount of divine power!
"H-how in the w-world..." the third brother asked trembling.
Their jaws also dropped as they could feel their heart thumping like crazy. Kumuha pa siya ng plato na malapit sa knanaiya at hinaplos ito, trying to threaten them that if they would not perform good, he might throw the table ware to one of them, at least it was what he solely thinks.
"How vulgar. You should not do that in this kind of place." the youngest said as he geastured the whole place. They caught people's attentions near them and that was really his purpose. To gather everyone's attentions including HER's.
'Come on now, where are you right now?' he asked to himself unpatiently.
"Do not joke around like that so carelessly, Brothers, you could have hurt anyone like that." he said in a pitied voice and half-closed eyes, pretending to be innocent infront of the guests.
Gaining sympathy from obnoxious people.
"You have powerfuldivine powers, right? It is not a good idea to be playing with holiness."
"Oh my, what an attitude."
"It is a shame that the youngest looks more preserved than the olders."
"I say."
They could hear vulgar whispering from the crowd and they were slowly starting to swarm around like he wanted.
'Hmm. This is better than what I have imagined.' he thought. Now it was only a matter of seconds before SHE comes because of the commotion.
His three brothers were looking around, completely aware of what was happening and they could not help but to say profanity words inside their heads.
"Kneel. It might change your situations." Drenschville whispered that only his brothers could hear.
He was looking so innocent but he was smirking deep inside of him. He was used by the reactions they were showing him off because it was also the reaction he gave off infront of everyone in the past.
Mercy.
He kept pleading but no one listened.
"U-uh! We apologize, Brother!" they apologized in chorus and just like what he intended them to do, they kneeled infront of him. The fourth brother arrived at the scene from being greeted by everyone and was surprised on what his brothers were doing.
It almost made the evil kid laugh but he surpassed it. In the middle of commotion, unexpectedly, he heard something he did expected but he was taken aback. He was prepared to see HER but it looks like he could still be in shock at times.
"Maxine!" Drenschville immediately flew his eyes wide open as he looked to the corner where he heard those. His mouth gapped and there, he saw the silver-haired girl that was looking away from him, probably, looking at the person who called her name.
For a moment, he forgot everything. He forgot what situation he was in and all that matters to him right now was the girl who looked back at her.
Startled by the sudden look, it was as if the time had stopped, everything was frozen for him and his mind turned blank.
Maxineirah was also startled after seeing Drenchville -who she was desperately looking for- already looking at her.
The both of them were looking with shock written on their faces.
They also both had the same thought running to their minds right now,
'He/she also...'
"Drelle..." Maxine whispered to herself. It was just a whispher but the kid whom she called Drelle was more surprised that she was. It was like he could read what she have said.
But it was as if Drenschville had known a lot since he went back from the past and just by seeing Maxineirah's lips moved, it was as if he could hear her from that distance after reading her lips.
"Maxine." Maxwell called her again and placed his hand upon her shoulder blade. Drenschville cleared his throat and paid his attention back to his brothers.
They were already on their feet while their heads were lowered.
"Since we were by bloods, I will accept your apology, of course. We should not have bad bloods with each other. Right?" Drenschville smiled at them before walking away from them with his eyes fixated on Maxine.
He followed the young girl on his preripherals as he stood silently in the corner.
Maxine smiled at his brother and she noticed that people were scurrying away since Drenschville left.
Grenchant and her brother Maxillary arrived at the same time that made her confused while looking at Grenchant.
Did Grent really tagged along?
Now, she was sure that Drenschville Ystradgynlais was really here in the banquet but what was just that?
It seems like his situation with his brothers has overturned. How did the table flipped? How hardly she thought about it, nothing came to mind that she did something big to make the situation like that. So how come...?
Anyway, she stopped thinking about it and mind the boys she was with.
