#Reason

Ferid had been caught red-handed by security when he was putting nails on Progenitor Council's chairs right before a meeting. Because he was a noble, he wasn't executed right there. Instead, they dragged him to his older brother because the parents were not available.

"What did you do?" asked Frederick, He stared disapprovingly at Ferid who crossed his hands petulantly.

"He was putting nails on the council's chairs. Please punish him so he wouldn't do it again." one from the security explained before Ferid had any chance to open his mouth. Ferid glared.

Frederick sighed. "Yes, I will be sure to punish him. Sorry for the trouble."

After the group had gone, Frederick turned and raised an eyebrow, waiting for explanation.

"... I didn't do anything!" said Ferid after a minute.

Frederick didn't say a word but gripped Ferid's left wrist harshly. Being a stoic vampire, he observing the pained expression on Ferid's chubby face without showing any emotions.

"What did you do?" Frederick repeated the question.

Ferid bit his lip. ".. I, I was putting nails.. on the council's chairs.."

"Why?"

When Ferid became silent again, Frederick tightened his grip until Ferid gasped loudly.

"B, because they deserve it!"

"Why? Did they do something nasty to you?"

"N, no!"

"Then why? Answer clearly and don't make me repeat the same question, again. Or else." Frederick threatened.

".. Because they made you upset!"

...

"Huh?"

Ferid hid his face beneath his bangs. "Because they made you upset! Also, it was because you had to attend meetings with them you don't have time for me anymore!"

Frederick lowered his hand. He held his brother's wrist gently now. "Why did you assume they had made me upset?" he asked.

"Two days ago, you came home with a scary face! Krul told me that that was because the council was foolish and stone-headed! I don't like seeing you upset, so I went to–"

"Shush." Frederick stopped Ferid's ramblings as he saw the boy was almost crying. "First, I don't need you to do something like that for me. Second, no matter what your reason, your action was wrong. I must give you punishment so you can realize your fault. Understand?"

Ferid slowly nodded, still hiding his face from Frederick's sharp orbs.

"One more." Frederick hooked his index finger under Ferid's chin to make him face the older. "Next time, make sure you won't get caught."

#Conspiracy

"Krul! He would get mad!"

"Haah.. that's why I didn't want to involve you at the first place! You're such a chicken and brother complex!"

"Hmph! I don't want to be blamed if he found out!"

"Shut it, child. Why don't you go home and tell him what's await him here? Oh, but I might spilled secrets about who else behind this when he interogatting me!"

Ferid's face paled. "I really shouldn't have join you and your crazy plan at the first place!"

"Too late. He's here."

True to Krul's words, Frederick was heading toward their hiding location.

"Okay! Let's do this. 1... 2..."

"Krul– I think we should leav–"

"3!"

DRAAKKK!

.

.

The horror from the memories haunted Ferid until now. It always make him itchy to tease and blackmailing Krul until it is her hands that being desperate for his agony.

.

#Jealousy

Ferid eyeing the interaction between Frederick and a worthless vampire with narrowed eyes. He, along with a bunch of young vampires, had been trained under Frederick's instructions.

Although Frederick seemed expressionless as usual, Ferid couldn't help but imagining the sweet talk and friendly atmosphere –which obviously impossible to be real- thus the urge to torture that poor excuse of a vampire was became more welcoming for the silver haired vampire.

"Oi, Ferid. What's wrong? There is a very malice aura around you."

"Shut up!"

.

#Lucky

Frederick is a quiet and calm person. Every vampires knows that. He's rarely leash out his rage and often dismissing other's fault or just gives a punishment with a flat face.

It goes without saying when Frederick finally all out on a rampage, the ones who didn't get involved usually opted to stay far away as possible, if not some vampires would watching with fear and pity for the victims whom getting the end of the terrifying acts.

"I never see the second progenitor got mad at you." grumbled a dark blue haired vampire beside him. "Why is that? Even though you are more baddass than they are. You're a lucky one, you know."

If this were at another times, Ferid wouldn't hesitate to slaughter such a presumptuous vampire.

But, as he watching the scene before him, Ferid have no choice than to agree.

'I wonder is it because I have yet to push my limit further.' he thought lazily.

He said so while deep in his heart, Ferid is certain of one thing.

He wouldn't provoke Frederick if he could help it.

.

#Proud

The once arrogant brat has now grown into a very proud and strong vampire, also more good looking.

However, Ferid didn't abandon all his old habits. He still loves to change his ribbon everyday and playing around, although his toys no longer consisting on the wooden, but real, alive people.

Frederick watching the entire process, noted all the progress and whatnot.

A strange but not unpleasant feeling had been blooming on his cold heart when he saw the proud smirk adorned Ferid's face as he had being chosen as the seventh progenitor of the japanese area.

"Not bad."

His not quite praise was apparently enough to make Ferid felt very entertained because he didn't get a single report about his brother's mischievous behavior for two days.

#The Beginning of Separation

Entering adult terms in vampire's standard means you'd already knew everything about vampire's customs. Including the fact vampires generally do not like to increase their numbers and could be careless about their family relationships.

It also applied to the Bathory siblings. Frederick doesn't complaint, but Ferid has grown more distant as time passed. They begin to walk at their own paths, because Ferid chose to come to Japan and Frederick decided to stay in Europe.

Frederick doesn't complaint, but now he spend more times at his room staring at the old-looking paper roses he keep on a beautiful vase in his windowsill.

Vampires are not supposed to feel any compassion or familial emotions, so Frederick only humming in disinterest as Ferid gave his last smirk before set off with the others.
