Ashen Zane Ambrose

" Sister you better wake up soon so that we can do fun things together "

I gave Zoey a light kiss on his forehead and lie down next to her while holding on to her hand, slowly the sleepiness pulls me.

*****

Chirp

Chirp

I slowly wake up as I felt the sun's array in my skin, but I felt something behind my head and when I look beside me, I saw Zoey and father sleeping and I just chuckled as they look the same, I slowly get up not wanting to wake them up I go out of the room and go to the kitchen, The maid looks at me in disgust but I saw a familiar figure.

" Sister... Relle? "

She looks back at me and her face lights up as she saw me.

" uwu Zane!, is that really you?! "

Relle looks so happy and she hugs me tightly, I respond to her hugs and she pats my head.

" Sister Relle, can I get a two glass of water? "

" Oh sure, where do you need it by the way? "

" Oh, I just want to give it to my sister and to my father "

" Aw, our Zane is so sweet! "

" Sister Relle, don't tease me like that "

She just chuckled as I blush out of shyness, and in just a few moments she gave me two glasses of water, I slowly take them from her hand.

" thank you so much, sister Relle "

" Welcome, If you need anything just find me "

" I will keep it in mind, I'm going now sister Relle "

She nods at me and I get out of the kitchen not giving a glance to the maid who's chattering about me, I just walk back to the room and when I was close to the room, a bug suddenly shows up.

" Why this house had a Monster?? "

" ah young master please don't mind dirty things, we should go to your sword class "

" Oh but I heard there was a girl, I would like to know if she tastes sweet maybe I can have her as my mistress- "

I quickly kick him in the chest and he flew to the side of the mansion and everyone who saw it was shocked even the teacher who's insulting me.

" W-what do you think your d-doing?! "

" getting rid of some annoying bugs "

" What bugs?! that's the young master! and what he said is true a woman like your sister will only have a worth when she was taken as a mistress- "

My ear heated up and I also kick him and his reaction was too slow and he flew in the same direction as the other bug earlier.

" You can insult me, but if you dare to insult my sister I won't let you leave without a scratch "

I glare at them and look at the glass and sigh in relief as they didn't spill, I just continue to walk and enter the room I saw both my father and sister in the bed peacefully sleeping, I can't help but smile as the posture they had when sleeping is the same and their expression too, I put down the glass in the side table and slowly wakes up father as it was already 7 in the morning.

" father, wakes up it's already 7 in the morning "

Father's eyes slowly open up and look at me and look at Zoey's who is sleeping peacefully, he suddenly pulls my hand and I end up on top of him and he just hugs me tightly, he also hugs Zoey.

" ah, father this is embarrassing... "

" What embarrassing? I just miss both of my children don't be so harsh to daddy "

father speaks as if he was sulking, I just sigh and let him do what he wants and we stay like that for some minutes, before someone knocks on the door.

Knock

Knock

" Your excellency? this is Alas, are you awake now? "

" Come in, Alas "

even if I want to escape's dad's grasp I can't since he was so strong, I just give up and look at the door as it open and Alas's facial softens as he saw the three of us getting cozy in the bed.

" Your excellency, you had a meeting about the strategies in conquering the Soryn Kingdom, and also a meeting with his majesty "

So father still leading the knights in conquering the other kingdom, then I guess he will go away again for... maybe for a long time.

" Is that so, guess I don't have a choice but to leave this paradise bed "

Alas and I chuckled as the tyrant duke that everyone was talking about, become a softie with his children I finally escape my father's grasp and he slowly put Zoey's head to the pillow and sit up, I took the glass and gave it to father.

" Oh my sweet son, thank you "

father pats my head and I just smile, he finally gets out of the bed and drinks the water I gave, I just sit on the edge of the bed and listen to them.

" How many days do you think we need to conquer the Soryn Kingdom? "

" Maybe 183 days or 365 days, that's the days range your excellency "

" Hmm... guess I will leave for a long time, what should we do to my twin? "

" Why don't ask the young master? "

They both look at me and my mind works and I think of a better idea.

" father you said that you would let us join into exterminating the Marquess if we had proper training right? then I would like to request swordsmanship and magic training for me and Zoey "

" Hmm, that's a good idea since you two need to learn how to protect yourself while I'm not here, Okay I have decided, Alas after the schedule for today we will get those men "

" those men? who is it, father? "

" The two of them was one of the best swordsman and wizard in the kingdom "

My eyes twinkle as I heard that, father just smiles at me and kneels in front of me.

" Zane, while I'm not here can I expect you to protect your sister? and please call me dad I want both of you calls me dad from now on "

" *giggle* Yes dad, You can count on me, I was nervous earlier to ask since I thought you would decline Zoey's training too "

" haha, Why would I do that? "

" because in the etiquette books, the woman never held a sword and they say a woman should stay at home and practice to be a good wife "

" Yeah it was really in the etiquette books yet we didn't need to follow those kinds of rules, the ambrose household will live as they want, and will act as they want that's why we really didn't need to follow those damn rules "

" Wow... dad that line was so cool! "

" I know, it was your mother words "

I left speechless as I heard that and dad just gave me a light kiss and get up.

" That's why you two will take everything, swordsmanship, magics, and horse ride you two will learn everything on an equal foot that's why don't worry and just learn them, are we good now Zane? "

" Yes, dad! thank you so much for letting us learn "

" It was my duty as your father, and you should also do your duty "

" Protect my sister with all I got, yes dad I will "

" Good, just learn everything and excel in it, then one day we will erase all the enemies in this house "

I nod at him and dad ruffles my hair, before dad gets out of the room he gave a light kiss to Zoey's forehead and leaves with Alas, I felt so happy that I end up jumping out of excitement.

" yes! finally, we will be able to learn something new from the others! "

I punch the air playfully but my excitement doubles as I heard a familiar voice.

" Zane...? "

I look at the bed and Zoey was already wake up, I get the glass of water and gently get into the bed, I help her to sit up.

" Drink some water sister "

she nodded at me and drink all the water, I take my handkerchief from the table and gently wipe her mouth.

" How many days I've slept? "

" Just one day, Oh sister I had good news for you! "

"hmm? really? what is it? "

" We will learn everything! "

" everything? "

" yeah like magics, horse rides and swordsmanship, and many more! "
