[Somehow, it feels so unrewarding.]
"Aww, don’t be mad, I was just joking~" Javier’s giggle turned into a low laugh, he glanced at the two young generals who were stunned with his sudden barging. He glanced at Big bro Lyon who was blushing, and these two young generals who were eyeing Lyon, it seemed that these two young generals were secretly crushing for Crown Prince Lyon.
Javier had a small thought in his head, Big Brother Lyon was a handsome, gallant crown prince. He had a lot of achievements, and he was always a popular bachelor. But he never went on a date with anyone, not with a woman or a man. Big bro Lyon was always alone.
’Hm... maybe big bro was always in a grumpy mood because he never went on a date before. Maybe I can match him with anyone? Maybe these two generals? Hmm...’ Javier was thinking about becoming a matchmaker.
"Why are you still here? D—Don’t you see that I’m busy?" Lyon said. Javier noticed Lyon’s nervousness, maybe he was embarrassed because he liked someone in here? Javier was thinking that Big bro Lyon must’ve liked at least one of these two young generals.
’Ah! I’m so dumb! I shouldn’t barge in and surprise Big bro like that! He must’ve been embarrassed in front of his crush!’ Javier developed his own scenario in his head, then he suddenly nodded determinedly.
"I will help!" Javier said.
"Huh?"
"Big brother, do you want to decide which one is the most suitable?" Javier asked. He darted his gaze towards the two young generals who got tense immediately. They stood straight, waiting for order. Prince Javier was an extremely influential young prince, as the son of Emperor Gardenia and Sun King Rama, he was the crown prince of two powerful countries.
Lyon watched as Javier walked in and circled around the two tense young generals, he nodded vigorously, "They are both in great condition, big bro Lyon, I will test them, okay?"
Javier stopped circling and faced the young generals, he said in his low, husky voice, signalling that he was serious, "I will be testing your capability, so I can see whether you are worth to be chosen, use your sword and attack me. Use your strongest slash, I do not tolerate hesitation."
The young generals turned their eyes towards Crown Prince Lyon who was just as confused as them, they dared not interrupt Prince Javier’s narrative, they were asking their Crown Prince for help.
[Javier must be thinking about something totally unrelated right now.]
[Pupa: It seems so. Don’t worry though, he won’t die by a mere attack of these two young generals.]
[No, I’m not scared for his life. I’m scared for these young generals’ lives instead.]
"Javier, you should leave now," Lyon said.
"No, no, It’s okay, Big bro! I will help you!" Javier said enthusiastically. He wanted to see Lyon smile at least once. Because he seemed to be grumpy all the time.
Javier stood straight and commanded, "Now, both of you, do not hesitate and unsheathe your swords! Attack me!"
Javier’s golden circle shone slightly, and the young generals felt that they had to obey to save their lives. They unsheathed their sword, and attacked Prince Javier with a strong slash. The two swords slashed the air, both of them attacked Prince Javier with killing intent.
Javier shrugged and caught both swords by pinching it. He pinched each sword with his thumbs and index fingers. He commented, "Hmm... none of them grazed my finger, I’m not sure..."
Javier flung each sword to the opposite direction and the generals were thrown to the side. Their backs hit the steel railing until it got bent, "Arghh!" one of them writhed in pain, while the other passed out immediately.
"Ahh, I guess this guy is better for you!" Javier walked to the general that still maintained his consciousness and pulled him up with one hand, "He is a tad stronger than the other!"
Lyon was dumbfounded, he didn’t know what to say, but when he saw the pleading gaze of the general, he sighed and said, "You will be the one who trains the batch of new soldiers."
"T—Thank you, your highness..." the general said weakly.
"Go help him," Lyon pointed at the other young general who was unconscious, "You two can leave now, go to the palace doctor to treat your wound."
The young general thanked Crown Prince Lyon once more and helped the other unconscious general to leave the pavilion as soon as possible. He was too afraid to stand between Crown Prince Lyon and Prince Javier.
He had the hunch that he might actually die if he dared to come in between Crown Prince Lyon and Prince Javier.
Meanwhile, Javier was a bit dumbfounded, he scratched his head and asked, "Training a batch of soldiers? I thought you are meeting these two young generals to decide which one will be your first date."
[Poor young generals, I can’t imagine what would happen to someone that will be bedded by Javier, he might not live to see the sun after one night.]
[Pupa: Don’t worry, restart is always an option for you.]
[What?]
[Pupa: What?]
Lyon sighed, "What makes you think that I will meet two young generals to decide something like that? Do you think I’m that desperate?"
"But Big brother Lyon never dated anyone in your whole life, that’s unnatural!" Javier said earnestly, "Big bro Lyon is a handsome man, gallant, smart, and cool! Who wouldn’t want to date you?"
Lyon blushed, he lowered his head slightly, "I—I already have someone in my mind..."
"Really? Who is it? Is it a man or a woman?" Javier asked curiously.
"It’s a man..." Lyon said, his voice trembled slightly, "He is younger than me, he is handsome, strong, and tall. He is a bit of a simpleton... but he has a good heart. I’ve been in love with him since we were young...."
"Eh... that long? He must’ve been a lucky man!" Javier huffed, "He must be very dense! Why can’t he see someone as amazing as Big bro Lyon standing in front of him, secretly crushing for him?"
Yunyu hadn’t heard the OOC trigger yet, so he assumed that Lyon’s character background was still in the line with that tsundere setting. But he couldn’t help to sigh;
[Sigh... this guy has a very thick skull. Poor Lyon, he had to endure his feelings for years... even died in the hand of his loved one...]
[Pupa: Don’t forget that Lyon is the first one to mock Javier out of jealousy.]
Lyon sighed, he looked disappointed with Javier’s response. Javier noticed the disappointment in Lyon’s face, but he didn’t understand why.
He approached Lyon and lowered his posture slightly, "Big brother Lyon, did I do something wrong? I just want to make you smile. I’ve been trying hard to make you smile for ten days already."
��You want to make me smile?"
"Yes, I’ve never seen you smile for years, so I thought it must’ve come from me," Javier uttered. This was also one of the reasons why he had animosity towards Lyon before. Because Lyon only berated him, he hadn’t smiled at him for years. He thought that Lyon hated him.
Lyon was a bit surprised, "You did all this just to make me smile?"
"Yes..."
Lyon was a bit dumbfounded, but he felt warmth engulfing his heart. He sighed, and then rubbed Javier’s head. Lyon showed a thin smile and said, "You’ve done a good job, Javi."
