Chapter One: Arrival
Japan, March 20th 2008 a.t.b.
It was the first day of spring and young Gino Weinburg was inside a large vacation home in Japan with his parents. His parents considered that he was lucky to have a big house while the other kids didn't. While other kids were out enjoying springtime Gino felt trapped inside that house. He felt sick and tired of being indoors all the time and while kids envied how big his house was, he envied them to have the freedom to be outside. Plus the fact he had to be strictly taught of how to act like a noble due to his childish behavior. He can't help it because he was a kid.
Oh, he desired to know the feeling of spring. The feeling of warmth, the feeling of rebirth and the feeling of freedom. He want to see and feel it all but he was trapped by the walls of his prison.
He stared at the window only to watch a glimpse of spring happening. The birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and kids were playing. He wished he would be one of them right now, to run around with friends, not have a care of the world, just enjoying yourself.
"Master Gino." One of the maids called to him after knocking on his large bedroom door. "Your parents request you, Young Master."
He sighed and turned away from the window and faced the maid. "Very well then." He walked past the maid and down the hall way. It took him a couple of minutes of walking the long halls and down the grand stairs to meet with his parents who were outside of the house. It was unusual for Gino to see his parents do so.
He paused when he got to the front door. His parents were at the other side of that door, if he were to meet up with his parents now then he would see and feel spring. A rare event for him. He was anxious of what was going to happen next so he took a deep breath and simply pushed the door open.
He stepped outside and felt refreshed. He looked at the scenery around him. The smell, the view, the feeling was invigorating and intoxicating. It felt like he was being born again. He smiled happily as he was able to be outside after for such a long time. He saw his parents near the driveway with what appears to be a man, a noble. Gino ran over to his parents and dusted off the invisible dust of his cotton green petticoat. He looked up at his parent. "You request me Mother? Father?"
Gino's father, Lord Weinberg, simply nodded at him and faced the noble man. "Gino, this is Duke Stadtfeld." Lord Weinberg informed him.
"Oh, Duke Stadtfeld?" Gino formally bowed in a well-behaved manner. "It's an honor to meet you Duke Stadfeld."
In Gino's perspective Lord Stadtfeld looked tall and proud, expected of a nobleman. He had well groomed hair that was red as fire and eyes as blue as the ocean. Two of the complete opposites together to create the image of this nobleman, along with the strength and charisma that followed that image.
Lord Weinberg gave a quick glance at Gino and looked back at Duke Stadtfeld.
"Lord Weinberg," Duke Stadtfeld said. "Are you able to do this favor of mine?" He asked.
Gino wondered what Duke Stadtfeld had meant by favor. Did his father owe the man anything? What was he going to do.
Lord Weinberg nodded. "Of course, it's the least I could do right? We are of the same classes and one of Britannia's main noble families. We must stand by together." He stated.
"Well said." Duke Stadtfeld chuckled and smiled.
Gino was getting bored of the grown-ups talking so he began to just look at the scenery around him. What caught his eye was a speck of red behind Duke Stadtfeld's leg, and a small fist clutching onto it.
"Oh Gino." His mother, Lady Weinberg, said to him. "Here's someone else we want you to meet."
"Hm?" Gino raised an eye brow and looked at Duke Stadtfeld.
Duke Stadtfeld slightly shifted to the side to reveal a child that seemed to be younger than him. He was short and petite and was wearing just regular clothes instead of the fancy clothes that nobles, like the father, wear. Just a simple red and green striped shirt and cargo shorts. His face looked a bit feminine and soft. His hair was as fiery red as the father's and was spiked. His eyes were as deep blue as sapphires. The child shyly hid behind his father, clutching to his leg.
Duke Stadtfeld smiled down at his child with such warmth that Gino had never seen his own father give to him. "Don't worry Kallen, these people are friends." He reassured the child named Kallen.
Kallen looked up to him and nodded. He slowly unclenched his fist from his father's leg and looked at the Weinberg family with uncertainty.
Gino stared at the shy child with curiosity. The child looked liked one of the regular kids who would play outside. The child didn't look like nobility. Those clothes are commoner clothes he had thought. Maybe it didn't apply when it came to noble children, he should try it sometime. Duke Stadtfeld slightly mussed with Kallen's hair while he grinned at Lord Weinberg. "This is my child Kallen Stadtfeld."
Kallen bowed in the same well-behaved manner as Gino. "It is pleasure to meet you." He said. His voice didn't sound like a boy or a girl but more like in between.
Lady Weinberg nodded. "It is a pleasure of meeting you too Kallen. It is rare for your father to present children to others, huh?"
Kallen flinched and looked back at his father who paid no attention to his gaze. "Yes." He answered.
Lady Weinberg looked back at her son. "Gino, Kallen is going to be staying with us for a while." She said to him.
"Really?" He looked at Kallen then back to his mother. "Why?" He asked as the two noblemen began to chat.
"Duke Stadtfeld is here for a vacation with Kallen but something came up at the Britannian Royal Court that requires him to be present. So during his absent we are to take care of his child." Lady Weinberg explained.
"I see," Gino said as he looked at Kallen. Kallen caught Gino's gaze and shyly hid behind his father's leg again.
Duke Stadtfeld smiled and chuckled. "I'm sorry, Kallen isn't normally this shy."
"That's understandable." Lady Weinberg said. "Kallen isn't used to being around other nobles and Britannians. Only Japanese?"
Duke Stadtfeld nodded and picked up a small suitcase. "That's right. I decided to at least spend more time with Kallen and take a trip to Britannia." He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. Gino found that quite unnoble-like. "But something came up and we had to cancel that trip. So now I must go back to Britannia alone."
"Oh that is quite a troublesome Duke Stadtfeld."
"Yes it is," Duke Stadtfeld then retained his nobvle posture. "So I trust you in taking care of Kallen."
Lord Weinberg bowed his head. "Of course."
Lady Weinberg glanced at Gino. "Gino, why don't you take Kallen inside the mansion while they adults talk?"
"Oh, um, of course mother!" Gino said as he looked back at the Stadtfelds, only to see Duke Stadtfeld smiling at him.
Duke Stadtfeld bent down to Gino's height and Gino walked towards him. "I trust you'll take care of Kallen too?" He asked as he brought forth Kallen's suitcase.
Gino nodded. "I will do my best sir!" He said triumphantly as he took the suitcase by its handle and gestured Kallen into the mansion. "Come on, I'll show you around!" He said with much enthusiam.
"…" Kallen looked up at his father who nodded at him. He looked back at Gino and wlaked towards him. The two began to walk inside the mansion while the nobles continued talking.
