BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8: Household of the Protectors
???; "I thought there will be an interesting show since little three seems different from before, but he didn\'t do anything to that servant. What a shame ~~~"
Said by the ginger-colored hair young man with forest-colored eyes while looking around with his playful personality and others groaned because they knew this person only joined them because of entertainment, which they could only sigh.
???; "This is not the right time to play around, HARRISON! Be serious for once!"
Another person snapped at the ginger-colored hair young man that was being addressed as Harrison because of his statement earlier and only thought about this meeting is nothing but playtime for him.
HARRISON WYNFRED CHEVALIER, the second young master of the Marquis Chevalier Household. 19 years old. A young master with a playful personality and loves drama if ever he catches one. Being the second son and free from the responsibilities of taking up the Marquis\' noble title, he is a carefree person.
Harrison pouted when scolded; "Touche! You\'re no fun, FELICITY ~~~"
An elegant woman with auburn-colored wavy long hair and jade-colored eyes, almost similar to Harrison but with different shades, scolded her second brother for not taking this matter seriously and she knew how playful he can get.
FELICITY THORIA CHEVALIER, the only daughter, and the eldest young lady of the Marquis Chevalier Household. 17 years old. A young lady with a strict upbringing that sometimes can be mistaken as a young adult woman.
She is the total opposite of her second brother and would sometimes clash with each other because of their differences.
When she heard Harrison\'s playful tone, she felt like her veins would pop out because her second brother knows how to get on her nerves, and he was the only person Felicity couldn\'t stand still.
"Why you—?!" Before she can finish off her sentence, another person intervened.
???; "Both of you, enough! Harrison, don\'t agitate your sister! Felicity had some patience, will you? You\'re a Young Lady and please don\'t forget that."
Both Harrison and Felicity looked at the person who stopped their almost banter with each other and they saw their eldest brother smiling at them who spoke after a long silence.
They got chills down to their spine when they saw that familiar gentle smile plastered on their eldest brother\'s face as both siblings wouldn\'t dare to disobey their eldest brother and face his wrath.
Felicity; "Tsk! Then, back to the topic. What should we do about this matter, Elder brother ALTRON?"
ALTRON ZERUX CHEVALIER, the eldest young master, and the heir apparent to the Marquis Chevalier Household noble title. 22 years old. A young adult man who bears the striking resemblance to the Marquis except for his hair color as he inherited it from his mother.
From other\'s perspective, they knew him for his gentleman demeanor, but in reality, he is almost similar to his father. Ruthless and cunning when it comes to their enemies, but they were extremely loyal to the Empire.
When Altron heard what Felicity said, he sighed and after that, he smirks; "We should wait for what little three would do. Little three might surprise us with something unexpected, given the changes I noticed in him. Am I right, FATHER?"
As he finished his statement, the other person who was seated at the center didn\'t speak for a while and only listened to the opinions of his children.
???; "Hm. I also notice that as well. Altron is right. We should wait and observe first.
Harrison, investigate that servant\'s background. I might have an idea, but we still need concrete evidence first and if little three do something, Felicity, it\'s your turn to cover this up."
Both Harrison and Felicity stood up from their seats and placed their right hand on their left chest as they accepted the orders from their father.
"Yes, as you ordered, Marquis."
Altron; "Father, would you want me to talk with little three?"
A middle-aged man in his late 50s but still had a youthful appearance that others often be mistaken for the eldest young master Altron because if their striking resemblance to each other, however, the only differences they got is their hair color.
AUGUSTUS RYNUS CHEVALIER, the current headmaster of the Marquis Chevalier Household. Known within the STELLARUS EMPIRE as the IRON-BLOODED SWORDSMASTER, who fought various battles in the past for the sake of the Empire.
The Chevalier household is one of the oldest noble households within the Stellarus Empire and their ancestors who were always on the battlefield and fought countless wars in the past and brought honor to their family name.
They also knew the Marquis Chevalier Household as HOUSEHOLD OF THE PROTECTORS, meaning this was the household of war heroes.
When Marquis Augustus Chevalier heard his eldest son\'s suggestion, he shook off his head; "You don\'t have to worry about that. Let your mother handle the talking."
The siblings immediately looked at their father with wide eyes open when he said those words and they didn\'t speak for a second, but the one who immediately got out of the daze was none other than Altron.
"B-but father…! You know, little three held a grudge against mother because of the incident that happened to Lady Aryna! Are you trying to provoke him?"
Altron wasn\'t a saint and, honestly speaking, he didn\'t care about what happened to his younger brother, nor did he care about his life to begin with. After all, he is just an illegitimate child and a disgrace to their family lineage.
However, no matter what happens, their younger brother still had their father\'s blood flowing through his veins and abandoning him isn\'t an option either.
His youngest sibling can be considered half-noble because his biological mother is a commoner. That might be the reason he is the only person within the family who didn\'t possess the proud BLOODLINE of the Marquis Chevalier household.
"You don\'t need to worry about that, Altron. Your mother knows how to handle this matter and we could only wait for what will happen next."
The siblings snapped from their thoughts when they heard the final decision of their father and even if they wanted to protest but they didn\'t have a choice but to obey.
They weren\'t worried about their younger sibling. Nope. Not a chance. Why would they worry for the illegitimate child and the disgrace of their family name?
