Year 1889

London, England

After a year of vacation in Berlin, The current Lady of the Trancy manor has return to her home country, she wears a dark purple coat with a matching purple bonnet. Her curly long blonde hair swung through the air while she carries her brown luggage, the passengers passing by were awed by her beautiful appearance. They are all flushed at the sight of the beautiful doll-like girl. She looked around the train station to find her escorts. She blinked a few times as her beautiful blue eyes as she sees a tall young man with long blonde hair. The said man hugs her tightly.

"My dear Alice has finally return! How I miss you so much!" the blond man overwhelmed on seeing the Trancy girl who's his cousin.

"Lord Aleister, it's been a while." Alice uncomfortably replies as the said man hugged her tightly like a teddy bear, She notice another blonde of around mid-50s whom she recognizes as her father's brother.

"Uncle Arnold!" she releases herself from Viscount Druitt and hugs her uncle with a bright smile on her face. Arnold just smiles at his beautiful niece. He is more comfortable with her than his that new-found nephew of his, Alois Trancy. Alice smiles at him and notices a priest beside the carriage and she shook hands with him.

The four of them enter the carriage and just then Alice spoke.

"I'd just heard from the news that father is dead. I'm deeply apologize that i didn't attend his funeral." Alice started to speak sadly, the two men all set sad expressions on their faces.

"It's alright. my sweet little angel." Viscount Druitt begin with his flamboyant nature, "Funerals are not suited to a beautiful robin such as you, my dear and...it's such a pity that Uncle died so suddenly...but oh well...may he rest in peace." he makes a sign of a cross and recites 'Amen' in the end much to Alice's sweatdropped. She really find the Viscount of Druitt...a weird one.

"It is tragic but we don't know how he died, he just introduced that boy to all the nobles, your long-lost brother and all of a sudden, God took him." Arnold explained to the blonde girl. Alice nodded to confirm that she understands her uncle's explanation.

Arnold return his attention to the priest beside him, "I am very sorry to have you make this trip, Father." he said in an apologetic tone. "Even my niece and Viscount Druitt is here as well." The Viscount can only smiled at him and telling him that he don't have to worry since he was in debt of his Uncle Trancy as well and telling them that he will return the favor ten times fold in his cheerful nature much to the girl's bored look.

The priest then replied, "Anyway, you said that the current house master, Alois Trancy is doubtful, Is that right?" this statement snapped the girl.

"Doubtful? What did that mean? Uncle?" Alice looked at the elder man with a suspicious tone.

Arnold looked at the girl and then to the priest and explained that his nephew, Alois Trancy was kidnapped by someone just after he was born. Alice's mother took her own life in despair much the blonde girl's heart sank thinking of that horrible incident as she accidentally saw her mother lied down the carpet floor while the baby's basket fell down as well. So her father went search for him in different place at then, Alois Trancy returned with a jet black butler, and then the his brother died under a mysterious circumstances and that's how the doubtful boy became the successor of the Trancy Household.

Then, Alice intervene between the two adult's conversation, "Forgive me for my rudeness, Uncle and to you Father but does that mean that my 'supposed to be brother' is something else? and that's why you all wanted to prove that he was Father's legitimate child?"

Her uncle nodded, "That's right. Alice and you as well, together with Viscount of Druitt will be the witness and to discover the truth about that child." he told her once they were outside the carriage. Alice nodded in understanding, what her Uncle did was a great idea. She didn't know much about this child as well and she will find out if this boy really is her brother or someone else.

Alois POV

Everything about my past, it all washed away, I am not Jim Macken anymore, the boy who is helpless and treated like a dirt. I am now Alois Trancy, the successor of the Trancy Manor. Everything is perfect, the power and wealth of a noble is spontaneous. But there is one problem, there's still a member of the Trancy family that is still alive and that is that old man's daughter. Curse my luck, I have to get rid of her and the all the wealth and status of the Trancys will be all mine!

I peek through the window and notice four people, I smirked when saw that little doll that has been on my mind, I could admit she's pretty and her features is the same as mine; blonde hair, milky skin and blue eyes. I would admit she could pass being my sister (since she'll be my sister from now on) since we have same features. I licked my lips as I stare hungrily on the innocent girl outside the window, what could be her taste like?

"Your Highness, they have arrived." Claude bowed to me; I smirked devilishly and ran outside the door and jump out to greet the guests.

"My dear-beloved sister! I missed you!" I screamed for joy and hugged her tightly.

Alice POV

The mansion is still the same and I feel so nostalgic in this mansion, all the sad and bitter memories. Everything is not special to me. My ambitious and pedophile father is gone. I felt nothing when I heard that he was gone. I admit: I don't care whether he died for he never gave me a love like a father should. He only thinks of that brother of mine and ignores me, his daughter. But deep inside, I don't hate my brother in fact I've missed him for all these years.

Just then, I heard a high-pitched voice and my eyes widen when I saw a blonde boy with blue eyes just like me. He hugged me tightly and this surprised me.

Normal POV

Alice stunned and speechless when she saw the lively boy in front of her, she felt as if she had met this boy before, but she had a tendency to forget the people she had met.

"Who are you?" she asks the fellow blonde, Alois pouted.

"I'm your long-lost brother, Alois Trancy, Alice." he chirped happily. Alice's mouth agape and she stares at her uncle

"Is this true? Uncle Arnold?" she asked the man for confirming, Arnold's expression grows tense as Alois' gaze glares at him, telling him to say yes or else he will dispose of him.

"Yes, he is." the elder quickly replied, Alice's mouth still agape and shocked at the same time, this cheerful blonde boy is her brother? Just then, Viscount Druitt interferes,

"Of course, which is why we're here to confirm that he is Alois Trancy, the male successor of the Trancy household" the blonde man said with a gleeful voice, The priests steps in.

Then, Claude appears to the five of them, Alice notices him and flashes with a suspicious look on her face towards the butler, something about him that is really off she thought while Alois is clinging to her non-stop and what irritates her most is his high-pitched voice.

"This way, please" Claude escorts the guest including the current Lady of the Trancy manor, Alois drags her to the colorful dining halls, she's astonished on how well decorated the room and the tables are all placed with pink roses.

They're all sitting on the dining tables; Alice was beside Alois and across them the viscount, the priest, and their uncle. Alois told them about his painful childhood on how he was kidnap from the Trancy manor and made into a slave in a village, then, on how he found his brother named is Andrew but he died. Viscount wipes his tears with a handkerchief because of Alois' tragic story. And Alice, found his explanation true but still she had her doubts about him.

While the priest offered his condolences, as did the viscount, albeit in a peculiar way, Arnold seemed particularly annoyed. It was obvious, despite not being able to make out the expression on his face, but merely by his general disposition that he was unwilling to believe Alois to be the true heir of Trancy.

"According to the story, my twin brother tells us it's seemed he had been through a rough experience" Alice stares towards her so-called brother, with suspicion still marring her face. She looked at Alois beside her and the beautiful blonde boy notice it and gives her a cheerful smile, Alice blushed slightly on his attractive face. What is this feeling?

Alice blinks as she saw Alois going to their uncle's seat and hugged him from behind, and murmurs something that makes the old man blush furiously and look offended. She find this funny, who knew that this brother of hers could be this humorous.

As the guests leave the mansion, Alice sighs and stares at the blonde boy behind, "Please tell me, are you really my brother?" she asked him curiously, Alois laughs at her question. She blinks. What could it make that sound funny? Then, her eyes widen as she saw his eyes seems different but she choose to ignore it.

"Why do you doubt me, sister? Of course, I am your brother. We have the same traits right…and besides be happy now that I'm already here!" he smiles brightly. She can admit. He's right, they have the same color of hair and eyes and she should be glad now because he's already home with her and they could be possibly be siblings. Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, she is again surprise of Alois' actions. His body is so close to her making her flinched on their closeness.

"You must be tired, my dear sister. It might be the reason that you've got ill from your journey but don't worry I'll take care of you and I'll make sure of it" he murmurs, Alice froze at the sound his voice, it is very uncomfortable and somehow intimidating. She notices his arms were tightening around her shoulders and much of her surprised, Alois licks her ear using his warm tongue, and it gives her the creeps. It's disgusting. She immediately shoves him away, which the blonde boy confused.

"Well, I guess I need to go to my room. Thank you for your concern, brother." Alice stuttered fearfully. She hurriedly went upstairs with a tint of blush on her face to her room. Just what on earth is he doing?

Meanwhile, Alois chuckles darkly and stare at her going upstairs. He licks his tongue; Alice Trancy is an interesting girl. He decides that he will not dispose of her but instead she will be his toy.
