2 years after the inevitable incident, Takahiro brought Misaki to a village called Enbizak. There, they lived peacefully; Misaki not knowing that he's a prince neither is that he's a son of a king. They currently live in a medium-sized house that has a big garden in the backyard

"Onii-tan, why am I not allowed to go outside to play with other kids? Is Misaki a bad kid?" A five year old Misaki asked as he clutched his brother's sleeves.

Takahiro smiled and kneeled down to face his little brother then pats his head.

"It's not like you've been a bad boy, Misaki. It's just because onii-san wants to protect you."

"eh? Why does onii-tan protecting me?"

Takahiro looked at his little brother and thought for awhile.

"That's because I love you. When you love someone, you would want to protect him. And you're under a powerful spell that I don't want to lose you. "

Misaki stared at his brother and hugged him.

"Don't worry onii-tan, Misaki won't go anywhere because Misaki loves his onii-tan very much."

+A FEW DAYS LATER+

Takahiro found his brother watering the plants in their back yard.

"Misaki" Takahiro called

"Ah~ onii-tan!" Misaki cheered as he put the watering can down and runs towards Takahiro

"Do you want to go to the market with me? I need to buy a few things."

"Eh? You'll let me come with you?"

"Well, you do need to get out of our house once in a while."

"uwaa~ this made me soo happy!"

Takahiro led his brother inside and grabbed a cloak and put it in his brother's shoulder and said "Misaki, don't go somewhere I can't see you okay?"

"Ok~" Misaki replied happily

It was his first time to get out of the house, and it fascinated him to no end. Even though his brother personally teaches him things he needs to know about the world, it was a totally different feeling to see it in real life. And after a few minutes of walking, they reached the market.

Misaki was trying to walk with his brother but his brother was walking kind of fast and the brown haired boy was kind of tired at this point since he was a little weak and so, he couldn't keep up with his brother.

"N-nii-tan, wait." Misaki panted

"Ah! I'm sorry Misaki, was I walking to fast?"

"I-It's fine…" Misaki looked down in embarrassment

Takahiro looked at Misaki and decided to carry him along the way for the convenience of his little brother.

On the way to the market, Misaki noticed a lot of beggars in the way. He clutched his brother's shirt and said "Why doesn't the ruler do something to help people like them? They look like they haven't eaten anything for days and its cold when it is night time in this place…"

Takahiro fell silent at his brother's statement and pats the little boy he carries in his head.

"It's not like they're not doing anything to help them… But-" Takahiro didn't finish his statement as he was cut off by Misaki

"But Still! They should prioritize them first."

Takahiro sighed in defeat. 'It's a good thing he doesn't know that he's a prince… It'll be better for him.'

A few minutes later, they reached the market.

"Apples!" Misaki cheered as he pointed at the fruit stall with deep red apples.

"Do you want one?" Takahiro asked

Misaki nodded and they both head to the fruit stall, Takahiro heads towards the fruit stand.

"Quite a cute child you got there. Is it your son?" The vendor said happily

"No, he's my brother. We're here to buy apples." Takahiro smiled

The vendor gave an apple to Misaki and continued to talk to his brother.

The little boy gladly took it and said thanks.

As soon as he was about to take a bite, he saw a young boy that looks a little older than him. The boy was staring blankly at him. Misaki approached him and hands the apple to the boy. The gray haired boy just stared at him and that's when misaki noticed the boy's clear amethyst eyes.

'How beautiful' Misaki thought despite the dark circles under the boy's eyes.

"Your hair is like that of a rabbit" Misaki said smiling

"MISAKI!" Takahiro called out as he saw his little brother talking to a stranger.

"Nii-san" Misaki replied as he turned around

"I told you not to leave out of my sight" Takahiro said worriedly

"But onii-san was talking to the vendor and I saw this young boy… He was thin! So I gave him the apple." Misaki defended

"Still, Misaki what will happen if you get lost or somebody take you away?" He carried Misaki and looked at the boy.

"Here, I hope this helps." He said as Takahiro gives a few money he have to the boy then turned around.

"Bye-Bye" Misaki said as he waves at the gray haired boy

'Misaki, I'm sorry… If I become the next king… I'll try my best to change it… I promise'
