Siblings Resort: Chapter 7 - Chaos and Peace

"...I really wasn't thinking right last night. I missed a chance to sleep with Master Leon..." It was the morning after Master Leon arrived, and I was on my way to wake him up. Now that my embarrassment subsided, I couldn't help but fault myself for the missed opportunity last night. After so long apart, I could've maybe made him more aware of me as a girl if I played my cards right...

"Chirp-chirp!" Two birds flew together as I walked through the trail to the majestic tree in the middle of the property, further emphasizing my loneliness and jealousy.

"I might've even been able to confess to him... Such a shame..." I kept on walking along the path, eventually reaching the giant tree in the middle of the garden, and made my way to the entrance of the cave made by the trunks. There was a net full of mulch on the side of a brown hatch door. The fact that the door was not covered was proof that someone was currently down there.

"Greeek..." The metal hatch door opened when I pressed a button that had its cover flipped over. I could see some lights at the bottom which further supported the theory of someone being down there.

"...Maybe it's not too late? I can probably confess to him right now... And he should be alone now..." My cheeks became red at the thought, and my heart started beating fast again, but I pushed all embarrassing thoughts aside and made my way down.

"Zzz..." I heard the breathing of someone sleeping nearby. The bunker that me and Master Leon made into our secret base is by no means small. The hatch entrance is by a small kitchen, and there's a passageway for the living room, sleeping quarters, restrooms, and an alternative exit that leads to a secret spot outside the property. Master Leon's father was the one who renovated the place for us and supported us to make this into our secret base. Said something about hidden bases being necessary to create opportunities for people to connect or something.

"Master Leon, are you still sleeping" I said but not so loud. I wanted to take the opportunity to see if he somehow changed the way he slept after a few months. That's what I told myself, but really, I wanted to see his innocent sleeping face.

"Zzz..." I entered the sleeping quarters and found him sleeping in the middle of two futons while covered up by a blanket. He seemed to be hugging something that I couldn't see because it was covered by the blanket.

"Master Leon, are you hugging a pillow? These two futons, did you maybe set them up in hopes I would come back to sleep with you?" I said this to no one in particular, but couldn't help but get into a teasing mood after the idea came to my head.

"Zzz..." I wasn't loud, so he kept on sleeping peacefully while still hugging what was underneath the blanket. He looked so at peace and so adorable... I couldn't help it. Without thinking, I let my flats slide off my stockings and feet as I crept onto the bed and crawled to his back underneath the blanket.

"Hey, Master Leon..." I whispered to his ear, "It's me, your loyal servant Alicia... Were you by chance waiting for me all night Master Leon?"

"Hmm...." He responded with some ununderstandable mumbles, but he let go of whatever he was hugging and turned his body to me.

"Huh...?! M-Master Leon...?!" I felt his hand circle around my back and held me in a gentle embrace. I felt steam practically go out from my ears, and started to blush uncontrollably. I may have been in a teasing mood, but I wasn't ready to be the one teased!

"...Alicia..." Master Leon mumbled while still sleeping, "Don't go... Stay with me... Please..."

"Master Leon..." I saw a pained expression on his face. I was still blushing, but I managed to get a grip enough to understand he was somehow relieving his trauma. The loneliness he experienced for the past months... "Don't worry," I whispered as I gently patted his messy brown hair, "For as long as you allow me to, I won't leave your side..."

"...Alicia... Thank you..." I didn't really know if he was still asleep or semi-conscious, but it seemed my words calmed him somehow. While fighting off my embarrassed feelings, I let my face go to his chest as we did before he left, and I felt myself embraced by him even tighter. This was true happiness right here.

"Master Leon, I love you so much..." I let those words out without thinking, and I felt my consciousness about to drift off.

"...Love...? So Miss Alicia is in love with Big Brother?"

"..."

"Is that why you always avoided me...?"

"...!!!" I opened my eyes and saw someone looking down on me curiously while I was still in Master Leon's arms. Her brown hair and wrinkled magenta dress... She didn't have her giant red bow on, but I knew who this girl was without a second thought. "M-M-Miss Mylene...?" I couldn't move, time seemed to have stopped, and my feelings and thoughts were in turmoil inside me because of this unexpected presence in Master's Leon bed.

"...Miss Alicia, your face is really red right now... I never seen so much emotion in your face before..."

"M-M-M-" I couldn't stop stuttering as I got out of Master Leon's embrace and sat up while slowly backing away. "Miss Mylene," I said finally off the bed while still a wreck and stuttering, "w-what are you doing in Master Leon's b-bed?"

"Huh? Well, I mean..." She started to get flustered, and her cheeks blushed a little for some reason, "I mean, last night... Big brother, I asked, and well, he said it was fine, so we, together, slept together?" Her response made time and the environment around me turned stone cold still for a few seconds, and the emotions drained from my face and thoughts.

"Together," I said in an emotionless way while I looked down stoically, "You two slept together last night?"

"H-Huh? Um... yes..." She said not noticing the change in me because she seemed happily flustered from her own emotions. "It was really comfortable... I felt really safe and warm with Big Brother..." All of a sudden, my emotions came out at once, and I grabbed the pillow underneath Master Leon's head and then I smacked it on his face with all my strength before running away to the kitchen with just my white stockings on my feet.

"MASTER LEON, YOU IDIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!" I screamed as I climbed up the ladder to the hatch I accidentally left open.

*****

"Huh?! What's going on?!" I felt something soft hit me on my face with a ton of force and I immediately shot up in a daze. What I saw was just my little sister next to me on the bed as she looked over in the direction of the hatch. Did someone come in? I thought I heard someone scream...

"I never seen her like that before..." Mylene said softly.

"Who, was someone here, Mylene?"

"Huh? Oh wait, that's right! Are you alright Big Brothe-woah!" My little sister seemed to have been trying to ask if I was alright, but she placed her hand that was supporting her on top of mine. The unexpected sensation caused her to unconsciously jerk her hand away but as a result, she lost her balance.

"Woah there," I said as I caught her with my hands. "It seems something happened as I was sleeping. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, everything is fine Big Brother. It just seems like Miss Alicia was so surprised to see us sleeping together that she ran away" she said chuckling strangely as she pulled away.

"Alicia? Really?" I turned towards the direction of the kitchen and noticed that Alicia's flats were on the floor in a messy fashion as if it was left behind by accident. "I see..." I get up and put on and tie my shoes as I pick her flats up. "I should probably go check up on her and return these, but..." I look at Mylene, remembering last night's events, "are you going to be okay?" She stiffened at my question and got out of bed before putting her bare feet in the purple flats that were decorated with a ribbon."

"I... don't want to go back there, Big Brother. At least not alone, so please..." she said with a scared face. I didn't like the way she was looking, so I got near and gently rubbed her head with my hand.

"So you'll need me to come with you, right?" She gave me a nervous nod to this question, and in response, I gently grabbed her hand and tried gently pulling her to the kitchen. "Shall we go, then?" Upon understanding my response, she nodded more happily and smiled.

"Thank you Big Brother."

*****

"You came back...?" Mylene stormed off after I said her giggle was cute, but for some reason, she came back? I was currently still inside the tree's trunk cave, and I was just finishing pulling a net that contained mulch that had a brown hatch door underneath that was previously hidden by it. Mylene's eyes were looking down at her purple flats embarrassed for some reason, so I don't think she noticed it yet...

"I..." she started as I got back up and got near her, covering her view slightly. "I don't want to go back there... It's a prison, and I'm scared that I won't come out of there again if I go to sleep there..."

"So you want to sleep with me? Is that what you're asking...?" She looked up, a little flustered.

"I know this is bold of me, but I've been very lonely and get nightmares when sleeping alone. I don't want to have those anymore, and you said that you would do anything for me, right? So I thought... maybe..." She blushed and looked back down from embarrassment.

"Sleeping together, huh..." I said while thinking. Sleeping with someone was nothing new. I used to sleep with Alicia a lot, but that was because she was someone I had known for my entire life. And it's not like I don't understand Mylene, for the past months, I have also gotten nightmares as I slept alone in places I didn't want to be.

"Um, I..." Mylene seemed to be hesitant about following through with what she suggested, so I knew I had to make up my mind quickly. Her embarrassment was going to make the decision for her, and that would be a failure on my part as an older brother because asking that took courage.

"Stand back, Mylene. I'll open the hatch door so we can sleep together in the secret base." My positive response made her give an astonished reaction, but then curiosity overruled it.

"Secret base?" It was then she saw me flip off a protection cover next to the hatch door revealing a red button. As Mylene was surprised to see the hatchet door itself, I pressed the button which caused the hatchet itself to open automatically. "It opened by itself? I never knew we such a thing here..."

"Well," I stated getting ready to go down the ladder, "Everyone calls it a secret base, but everyone who works here knows about it. It's just that no one uses it, but me and... someone else?" I hesitated to tell about Alicia's involvement in it without her permission. "Anyway, wait until I turn on the lights, and then come down, alright?" I went down and turned on the lights, prompting Mylene to come down. She was a little shaky while coming down, but I made sure she saw me nearby to give her more confidence. Still...

"You're getting red? Why?"

"Um, no, it's nothing. I just remember a rule I forgot about that was established when coming here..."

"A rule, what do you mean, Big Brother?" she asked innocently finally getting down.

"I'm sorry, I can't say. It's not important, though, so everything is fine."

"I guess that's fine..." She looked at me curiously with those innocent eyes. Yep, I do think pink suits an innocent girl like her, as compared to the purple Alicia wore the day the rule got established...

"Anyway," I said as I pressed a button near the light switch to automatically close the hatch door. "let me give you the tour." I showed her the kitchen, the restroom, the living room, and the sleeping quarters. I also offered to see what was at the end of the hallway that led to the alternate exit, but she said it sounded scary. I locked that entrance to put her at ease. Eventually though, after getting distracted by playing some card games with me, she gave a yawn and I knew bedtime was near. I led her to the sleeping quarters and showed her a futon near mine that would be her place to sleep for the night.

"Um..."

"Is everything alright, Mylene?" She grabbed the helm of her dress and flushed a little.

"I forgot my pajamas..."

"Oh, I see..." The pajamas here, as long as it was as it was before I left, should be mine and Alicia's only. I didn't feel comfortable using Alicia's clothes, but to use mine would be weird... "Do you want me to go get some clothes from your room?"

"Um, no! I'm actually okay sleeping in this dress. It's soft and I slept in it before..." At first, she seemed to have panicked, but then she trailed off for some reason, and I sensed her eyes become a little lifeless. To distract her, I did what I did to distract Alicia the day she got angry at me for seeing something purple. I quickly picked her up in a princess carry. "Huh? Ah, w-what are y-you doing?!"

"You seemed to be going to a dark place, so I wanted to surprise you enough to forget whatever it was you were thinking."

"Y-you didn't have to do it this way! It's embarrassing!"

"Mylene, you're encouraging me to do more with how cute your blushing face is."

"!!!" She then hid her face in my chest as she manipulated my shirt to hide her face. It seems she getting comfortable with me throughout the card games we played together...

"Um, Mylene," I said as I sat down on her futon. You can crawl off now if you want. We're on your bed now, so you can escape if you want..."

"No..."

"No...?" She looked at me with her flushed face, and I sensed a little anger. "You will sleep with me tonight as an apology for your misdeeds, or else."

"Um, Mylene, I don't mind I guess? But the futon is too small, you know..."

"Don't care!" ...I guess even little sisters are girls who are complicated to understand

*****

I wanted to embarrass Big Brother by making him sleep with me, so I forced him to join the two futons together and made him sleep in the middle as I clung to him from his front. But...

"You fell asleep even with me cliquing to you...?" I felt defeated. I even guilted him to sleep in his regular clothes because I was doing the same with mine to make the situation uncomfortable for him, but it didn't affect him at all...

"Zzz...."

"Honestly, Big Brother..." He was a strange person, but for some reason, he was someone I was just comfortable with despite knowing for such a small amount of time. I'm even clinging to him without reservations. Was that because of how lonely I was before that I was desperate for affection..?

"Zzz..." I looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and I felt all the tension I built throughout the last few years go away. I didn't understand how, and I'm still feeling something weird whenever I see him... Just what is this...

"Big Brother, you're so weird..." But maybe I'm more weird because I'm clinging to him more, and feel so at peace. He then slowly hugged me back and embraced me, and I felt my cheeks get warmer, and my gaze was mesmerized by his peaceful demeanor. I held his shirt tighter, as my conscience slowly drifted away...

Siblings Resort: Chapter 6 - Encounter

"I just DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!" I dashed out of my working room when I just couldn't bear it anymore. I have failed so many times that now my mother gave up on me. Worst yet, she brought in my supposed brother to help but I knew better. My friends whom I hadn't seen in months showed me the truth about them. They're selfish beings who take advantage of their younger siblings, so this has to be some sort of punishment from her. I made her angry.

"Huh? Miss Mylene?" As I ran I passed a freckled redhead woman who called after me, but I ignored her and ran to the only place I thought could maybe help calm me down. The majestic tree that I could only see through the window in my room. The place I haven't been able to visit since the first day I arrived. And when I got to it, I hid in the opening underneath the tree. I noticed it when I first arrived, but the large tree's trunks created a cave-like structure whose entrance was hidden behind the bushes that surrounded it, and it was big enough for kids to fit but there was nothing in it besides some mulch on the ground.

"It's not fair Mother," I cried, "I really did try hard." Ever since the day Miss Nanako told me about Mother's true feelings, I truly gave it my all to do what my mother wished me to do. I honestly didn't understand why she wanted me to manage a resort by myself, but I'm willing to do anything to go back to how we once were. But despite those feelings, I still failed. So many times now that I'm convinced she finally gave up on me.

*****

"Hello Ms. Everstream."

"Huh? Leon? LEON!!!"

"Whoa!" After leaving the room where I talked with Alicia and my sister, I passed by a freckled redhead servant whom I was very friendly with back then. I called out to her formally to check her reaction, but upon noticing it was me, she threw herself at me and held me tightly in a big hug. It was a really warm but happy sensation for me.

"Leon! It's really Leon! Oh I was told you arrived but I wanted to make sure it was you. I'm so happy to see you again, little Leon! Ah, but this is no excuse to call me that! Call me Emily, like you always have been." She pouted as she separated from me, with the warm comfortable sensation leaving me. Strange, why am I a little bit dejected...?

"I'm sorry, Emily. It's just been so long I wasn't sure how to act around you anymore."

"Don't be silly, Leon! I'll have you know that I've been helping Nanako search for you all this time! We were really heartbroken when you were taken away and we were desperate to find you!"

"You've been searching for me?" This is news to me. So it seems no one that actually cared for me abandoned me, but was instead unable to find me...

"Yeah, but no one knew where you were taken except for that heartless mother of yours! Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disrespect your family like that!"

"No it's alright, haha... I'm just glad you haven't changed at all, Emily." I couldn't help but smile at the information that I just learned and that people who cared for me like Emily haven't changed that much.

"Oh, Master Leon..." she replied with some... tears in her eyes? "I'm so glad to have been able to see you again. I desperately needed to see a respectable man again after all the hardships that I've endured..."

"Respectable man...? Wait, isn't Mr. Fiddle a respectable man too? Did something happen to him?" For some reason, she got stiff, and life seemed to have left her eyes.

"We don't talk about him anymore."

"Huh? But aren't you two-"

"We don't talk about him anymore" she repeated.

"...I understand." I wasn't as close to Mr. Fiddle as I am to Emily, but I was surprised that she didn't want to talk about him. They used to be inseparable...

"Just know," she started now looking uncomfortable, "we aren't going out anymore."

"I see..."

"Yeah... but wait...? Oh, that's right!" She stopped looking uncomfortable and looked at me with sparkling eyes, "There's someone you have to meet! Someone I hope you will get along!"

"There is?"

"Yes, you should come with me to- oh no, wait. It's late, so now is not a good time." She started to look dejected.

"Huh, why? I can spare some time?"

"No, it's late. If I wake her up now, it'll be a nightmare..."

"Wake her up?"

"Yeah, you'll meet her soon enough, I'm sure. Actually, now thinking about the time, I'm late! I have to go! I'm sorry to have distracted you, Master Leon! I'm really happy to see you again, though!"

"Yeah, you too." She started to run off before pausing to look at me.

"Ah, right, Master Leon, are you going to your secret hideout?"

"Yeah, that's right." Although me and Alicia call it our secret hideout, it's not so secret to anyone else. It's just that it's only me and Alicia who uses it.

"Miss Mylene just ran past me and is most likely around the entrance. Can you just keep an eye out for her?"

"Miss Mylene? That's my sister's name, right?" I did recall her running out really upset.

"Yes, that's her. She was heading towards the garden, so if you're already on your way there, please keep an eye out for her."

"Sure, I don't mind." She gave me a quick bow before smiling warmly.

"Thanks Master Leon. Please be kind to her, your mother has always been cruel to her, so please don't let her feel alone." With that said, she turned and left in a hurry. I watched over her until she left my vision, thinking over what she said about my little sister.

*****

I made my way slowly towards the giant tree in the garden. Emily said that Mylene was around here, so I made sure to listen to my surroundings and look for anything that didn't belong in nature.

"No sign of her at all..." I was being vigilant, but still nothing. Maybe she already left? That might be for the best, we already had a very awkward relationship despite just having met once.

"...Why..." I stopped in my tracks because I thought I heard someone crying. And listening more carefully, it was coming from the tree? I crept closer while trying hard to not rustle the bushes that were surrounding the gigantic tree. Because if I did, and if this was Mylene as I suspected, I didn't want to give her any more bad impressions.

"There she is..." I whispered. She was inside the cave made by the tree's trunk.

"...Mother, why won't you ever let me see you anymore? I just don't want to be alone anymore... I can't see my friends, I can't leave my room, I can't see you... Have I done something to anger you...? Why, mother...?" What Emily said flashed through my mind. Please don't let her feel alone. Did she know Mylene was feeling this way? Was that why she looked very concerned when she asked me to look for her? It is true that there's nothing more painful than being alone, I know that from experience...

"... I can't just stay here and do nothing," I whispered. If she's experiencing what I felt for the past nine months, I refuse to stay still a second longer. Much less if this girl is my little sister."

"H-Huh...? EEEAK!!!" I purposely made the bush in front of the entrance rustle to not scare her as I moved to the entrance of the cave, but the moment she saw me in the moonlight, she stiffened and pushed herself as far back as she could, clearly frightened of me. It hurt that I was this scary in her eyes, but if I was in her position seeing a stranger close in on her, I would be scared too. But even so, I knew what I had to do as I got on my knees in front of her to not intimidate her and pause for a second to think of what to say as the cricket sang around us.

"...When I was younger," I finally began, "Father would tell me happily that I had a little sister that he wanted me to meet. And I was really happy and excited because I had always wanted to be an older brother." I looked at her to gaze at her reaction, but she still remained scared and stiff in the back, so I continued. "But as he kept saying that we would meet soon over and over, I couldn't help but doubt if you existed at all. So eventually, I stopped caring and life went on." I turn my head to the side uncomfortably remembering what came next. "Then suddenly, Father died and my life was thrown into disarray. I was disowned and the ones who always was there for me were gone. I was completely alone." For the first time, Mylene reacted to my words. She was curious now but still being scared. "It was... really painful. I didn't know loneliness hurt so much, and I cried night after night, wishing for anyone to talk to, anyone to befriend. But when I resigned to my lonely fate, I met you." I looked at her with a small smile to show I meant no harm. "When we met for the first time, I didn't comprehend right away you were my little sister, and I couldn't immediately reassure you that everything will be alright. For that, I'm really sorry."

"H-huh?!" I bowed my head with sincerity, and this caused her to gasp in surprise.

"I'm a failure as an older brother for that, but I want to do this right." I looked at her with determined eyes and said "Mylene, I know right now I'm a stranger to you, but I want to ask for you to give me a chance to be a proper older brother. I promise to help you with anything you need. I promise to do everything to make you smile and not feel lonely at all. I promise to dedicate myself to your happiness, so please."

"A-ah!? U-um, um...!" She was stuttering and didn't know what to say after I bowed my head, but I refused to move until she gave me a response.

"Y-you..." she started after a little while, "aren't going to be mean to me a-and make me do stuff as if I was your slave?"

"HUH?!"

"EEAK!!!"

"Ah, no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you! It's just... what sort of a failure of a brother would do that?! Don't tell me you know someone like that, do you?"

"A-ah well..." Her face gave away the answer I sought, and I learned a horrible truth at that moment.

"Mylene," I said readjusting myself and looking at her with my full attention, "I will never do anything to make you sad. You are my sister, and I want to be someone you depend on. I want to be there for you so you'll never experience loneliness again." As I talked, I slowly moved closer to her and gently grabbed her delicate hands in mine. "I promise, as your older brother, that I won't let any misfortune get near you, and that happiness is the only thing I have in mind for you... Is that alright with you?" I waited patiently for her response with a little bit of anxiety. And after a brief moment of thinking, she nodded meekly while blushing.

"H-huh?!" Out of an impulse of happiness for finally being accepted as her older brother, I gently embraced her in a big hug to which she gave another gasp in surprise.

*****

What is going on? Shirley and Jolly told me all older brothers were selfish and uncaring of others, but my own older brother is hugging me tightly and I feel no malice. I'm not feeling any desire to bully or hurt me, just affection for me. Even though we only just met! Is this what older brothers are really like? There is no selfishness at all here. And this hug is just so comforting...

"Mylene?"

"H-hyah?! Oh, um, y-yeah?"

"I'm truly am happy to have met you."

"..." I kept quiet not out of malice, but because I was afraid of myself for what I was feeling. His soft whispers in my ears made my back tingle strangely, and my heart was beating so fast. And I felt so comfortable in his hands that I could melt, I just couldn't comprehend my emotions! And to make matters worst, this is the first time I felt loved in so long that I couldn't help but weep a little from some sort of relief.

"Huh?! D-did I do something wrong?" He tried pulling away as he said this, but when I resisted by holding on his shirt, he gave up on the idea.

"No, I'm just happy. Happy of not being alone anymore, happy of having a cool older brother. I'm sorry, I know you mean well and I'm crying on your shirt and getting it messy, but I'm just so happy. I'm really, really happy..." At first, he responded with nothing, but then I felt the back of my head being stroked gently.

"Then I'm glad. I'm really glad."

"Hmm." We stayed in the same position for a little bit longer, before finally pulling apart. After standing up first, he held out his hand to help me stand up despite my face showing clear signs of crying. "U-um..."

"Is something wrong?"

"W-what should I call you...?" I made the mistake of not bothering to memorize his name before because of my prejudice against older brothers. Honestly, my behavior was just shameful.

"O-oh, um..." He looked away shyly, which made my heart beat faster for some reason...

"Is... something wrong?"

"N-no, it's just... I... always... well before..."

"Hmm...?" He was acting really flustered... but why...? It seems my response made him shake his head before looking at me meekly.

"I... always wanted to be called Big Brother.

"B-big brother?!" I instantly remember a past conversation where both Jolly and Shirley complained to me about their older siblings trying to get their parents to force them to call them that out of respect.

"...When I was younger, Father read me books where it was used. When I asked what it meant, he said that it was what older brothers were called by the younger siblings who were close to them..." He scratched his cheek as he explained this. Still, this was another difference compared to what I knew from Shirley and Jolly. Maybe their concept of older siblings is just warped because of their selfish older brothers... "Ah!? Of course, you can call me Leon if it makes you uncomfortable. We're not that close, so maybe it's wrong of me to ask this when we literally just met..." He gave an awkward chuckle at the end to hide his embarrassment, but I at least understood his true feelings.

"No, it's alright, I don't mind. You said you would dedicate yourself to me, right? If you're serious about that, then it's the least I can do, big brother." He looked away from me, but I could see him smiling happily. I guess it meant a lot to him.

"Sorry for being weird, but I'm glad. Thank you Mylene for looking past that. " His strange way of embarrassed fidgeting really made my face feel warm for some reason...

"Hehehe..." I couldn't help but giggle a little to hide my slight embarrassment from his pure reaction. It's been a long time since the last time I wasn't depressed, so I guess I'm more receptive now to anything positive.

"...You really have a cute giggle."

"Huh?!" His comment caught me so off guard that I couldn't help but yelp from surprise, and I felt my cheeks becoming even more warm for some reason. "W-what are you saying?!"

"Ah, did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, you did! And why are you questioning yourself?! That's not normal!"

"No, well, it's like, you know... When you think something and it slips your mouth without realizing it?"

"That's doesn't help! Geez!" I couldn't help but storm out of the cave not from frustration, but from the embarrassment and happiness I felt from his comment.

Siblings Resort: Chapter 5 - Turning Point

"It's... she... asleep..." I heard a voice, but I paid it no mind. I was still too tired and emotionally exhausted from last night. I just wanted to stay in bed and didn't care if I was going to be absent from school today. But then, I felt shaking. Someone was shaking me while I was still in bed. But there shouldn't be anyone here. No one, unless...

"M-mother...?" I opened my eyes to see a girl's face that was around my age. She had magenta eyes and long white hair. For a second, I thought I saw her scoff, but then all she expressed was a stoic face, making me doubt if she even scoffed at all.

"Are you up now, Miss Mylene?"

"Huh?! W-who are you?! What are you doing in my room?!" Seeing this unknown person in my room suddenly registered to me, and I panicked to the corner of my bed with the blanket covering me. There was an intruder in my room!

"Miss Mylene, be serious. Hasn't your mother already told you of the situation?"

"Huh, my mother...?" I suddenly remember what transpired last night. Mother left me alone in the middle of the night. Why? Did it have to do something with this girl being in my room?

"...It seems you were not informed. I guess this sort of cruelty should be expected of her..."

"Cruelty..."

"Ah. Sorry, I misspoke." She then grabbed the helm of her black dress and gave a slight bow. "My name is Alicia Starford. I am your personal servant from now on."

"Personal servant...?"

"Your mother inherited wealth and properties after the passing of our previous master. You are to gather your personal belongings to move into your new home as per your mother's instruction."

*****

A mansion! A big house! Was this the reason why Mother was being so distant? To surprise me with our new home? I couldn't help but become joyful at the thought. So Mother really wasn't leaving me all alone on purpose, she was just busy getting this ready. I couldn't help but run around the property exploring as Miss Alicia followed me around walking.

"So this is the garden? Oh, and there's a large tree in the middle! It looks so majestic from here!"

"Miss Mylene, please don't run around. If you fall, your dress will be ruined." She exclaimed after me with the same stoic face, but it really didn't matter. I was just so full of joy that I didn't care about anything at all. I kept running around and finally came face to face with the giant tree. There were even some beautiful flowers popping out of it, further enchanting its majestic beauty.

"Bzzt, bzzt!" I heard a sound that sounded like a phone and panicked because it usually meant bad news from my mother, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it was Miss Alicia's and not mine.

"Ah, excuse me for a second, it's a call from my mother, the head housekeeper." She then took her phone and started talking to someone a little away from me.

"Your mother...? Right, my mother..." I haven't seen her yet after her outburst yesterday. I was fully convinced she was ashamed and hesitant to meet me after acting that way towards me last night, but I had to tell her I forgive her. That it didn't matter as long as we could act the way we were before. But, Miss Alicia was still talking to her mother... so I should probably do something else as I wait. So I kept looking around while somewhat close to her. And as I did, I found an interesting carving on the giant majestic tree that was clearly man-made. It was a doodle of a boy and girl that had the words Leon Solstone above the boy's head. Was that the name of my father?

"Are you curious about that?" said someone from behind me. It was Miss Alicia who kept her eye on the marking. I have never seen her show so much interest in anything so far, so I couldn't stop myself from nodding in curiosity. "It was something I wanted to surprise my former Master with. But... he left before I was able to finish it." There was a small sad stutter in her words, but her expression did not change at all.

"...Was Leon the name of my father?"

"...I would hope not. It's supposedly your brother's name."

"My brother's?"

"Leon Solstone is his name."

"Did he pass away too?" As cruel as it might be, I would be relieved if he wasn't around anymore. I didn't want to have someone around who would just make life harder for me. But Miss Alicia, she just stared at me for my question before shaking her head.

"It doesn't matter anymore. You won't ever meet him. But Miss Alicia, and I apologize for changing the topic so abruptly, it seems that your mother has an assignment for you."

"My mother? Oh, are we going to go see her?" I could hardly wait if this was the case.

"I can't say for certain, but it seems she relayed instructions to my mother. Let's go see the head housekeeper."

*****

I was now in a room that was designated for working. There was a large table and chair with a touch-screen computer and wireless telephone in the back. There was a map on the walls that contained a few archipelagos and a large poster of the Dos & Don'ts in resort management. There was also a shelf with several large books that had complicated words for their titles and another door separate from the entrance. This place... I wanted to leave and never come here again. I didn't want to be here at all.

"So that's the gist of it," said the head housekeeper. Like her daughter, she had magenta eyes and white hair. She also had a black headband and a customary servant black dress too. But her appearance really didn't matter to me. I was simply at a loss right now. I couldn't believe what I just heard.

"Mother really... said that?"

"...Despite my initial appeal," she responded, "the new master of the mansion said that you proved yourself enough through some sort of national exam. She believes you're smart enough to create a successful island resort, and has accommodated this room with everything you would need."

"Please, can't I just see my mother first? I'm sure there's some sort of misunderstanding..." My heart was starting to break. I thought that I wouldn't be lonely anymore and that we could be together again...

"She... has ordered for you to stay in this room at all times except for your regular necessities. Until you accomplished this task, she says she doesn't wish to see you to not distract you." She looked at me dejectedly to show sympathy but all I could feel was complete loneliness. This room was going to be my prison from now on in this house, and the one who I wish with all of my heart to be with orchestrated it...

"That door by the shelves leads to your private room with a personal bathroom. Your personal tutoring quarters are also right next door, and as for foo-"

"Oh, please wait a moment! My tutoring quarters? What about school? Will I be able to continue going there?"

"That would be an inconvenience," said Miss Alicia who was standing next to her mother. "The institution is too far away. You will no longer be required to go there. Instead, hired qualified teachers will come here to complete your education. All of your needs will practically be provided within the rooms in this same hallway." I had a feeling that this room was cursed from the minute I came in, but I push those initial thoughts away. That was because I convinced myself to truly believe that this new home was a blessing and a turning point for my recent lonely life. That Mother's recent change was so she could surprise me with it. I had to, or else I would have no choice but to give up on her and run away since I had no happiness here. But now...

"M-my friends," I stuttered out. "Will I be able to invite them here...? Or possibly go visit them...?"

"You going out is a security hazard for possible kidnapping," said the head housekeeper, "so that can't happen. The master of the mansion also made it clear she wanted you to stay in this section of the mansion for the time being. And as for your friends, they would have to be cleared by her as well. However, I believe she would deny the request in order to not distract you from your work. She even has guards watching this area to enforce and minimize distractions."

"No way..."

"I understand your frustration kid, but it seems the master of the mansion really wants you to get the assignment done as soon as possible. So do your best, and I'll see what I can do to help your situation become more bearable." With this, the head housekeeper nodded to her daughter and left the room.

"It seems you need time to process this, Miss Mylene," said the stoic Miss Alicia. "So please excuse me because I have paperwork to get done, but if you need anything from me, let me know." She then went to a corner of the room that had a small desk with a stack of documents and started to work. And as for me, I just stood still feeling completely trapped. I couldn't see my friends anymore and don't even have a chance of running away now. I'm just trapped. And there was nothing that I could do except to do as I'm told. Because there was nothing else I could do. I was truly alone now.

*****

It's been a few months since the new master of the mansion moved in. And while everything else was operating as normal, there was also one additional difference that everyone was aware of. It was the little girl who was practically a prisoner in this mansion. And despite our efforts in cheering her up, she remains depressed. Almost completely non-responding. The delicious treats we give her, the best video games in the market we can get, the best-rated books we could get our hands on; nothing causes her to respond. She just kept doing what she was ordered to do, typing and researching other resorts to try to replicate their success.

"Alicia, how long are you going to be like this?" I was talking quietly to my daughter at her station in the corner of Mylene's working room. Both girls didn't turn to see who it was who just walked in as I was the only visitor for the most part. "I understand the grudge for what happened to Leon, but Mylene had no part in it. You can't blame her for that."

"Mother," she replied with her stoic expression as she continued working without looking at me, "I understand that I'm being unreasonable, but my feelings just won't change. I feel sympathy for her, but the moment I see her, my thoughts are all turned to anger. Unreasonable as they are, anger is all I feel." For the next couple of seconds, all I heard was a few clicks from Mylene's mouse and the sound of documents being written on by Alicia. There were seriously no positive interactions between these two besides Alicia guiding Mylene through her schedule. I truly thought their relationship would help make things bearable for Mylene, but it seemed I miscalculation the unreasonable grudge my daughter would have for her for the lost of the love of her life. Honestly, what could I do...

"Is there really nothing you can do for her, Alicia?"

"What Miss Mylene wants," she said while still working, "is to receive care from someone she deems significant. Actions and gestures from anyone who can't change her current situation are meaningless to her."

"...Was this what you learned from supporting her all this time?"

"It's what I learned from reading the diary in her room whenever I clean. She would write about the happy life she had before with her mother or made-up fantasies of a prince saving a trapped princess."

"...I can't argue with your evidence there." I take a look at the girl who is continuing to research on the web. It was then I noticed that she wasn't even researching anything related to managing resorts. She was looking at pictures that had family having a good time together. "She isn't even working on the resort?" For the first time since I came in, Alicia stopped to look at her before continuing her work.

"After a bunch of failures in the past months, she's practically unmotivated and sees no merit in giving efforts. She most likely believes nothing is going to change even if she somehow accomplishes her task anyway."

"...This is too cruel to watch. I really wished the world had laws to prevent situations like these..."

"Bzzt-bzzt!" I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and saw that I had received a message from the master of the mansion. I started to head out but paused to look back at Mylene. She was still looking at pictures of happy families, but looking more carefully, I also saw that there were spots on the table in front of her that were wet. Covered by her tears most likely...

"If you're leaving Mother," Alicia said from the side, "make sure to close the door completely. You tend to leave it cropped open at times." I was about to respond to her but then got an idea from looking at my daughter.

"No, I was about to leave, but I seemed to have received a message from the master of the mansion for Mylene." Both girls stopped working and turned to look at me. Alicia had a rare expression of being surprised that she hadn't shown since Leon left, and Mylene had a similar expression too, albeit with clear signs that she was crying recently.

"My mother has a message for me...?" The brown-haired girl asked this with little life in her dull facial expression.

"She said that she was still waiting for you to complete your task. That once you were done, she was excited to explore the resort together with you."

"My mother said that...?" Alicia looked skeptical, but Mylene remained surprised. More than surprised, her dead eyes started to brighten up with color again, as if she was reviving herself like a phoenix. "Mother is waiting for me... She really believes in me and is waiting for me...?"

"She is, Mylene. Although she hasn't told me what specifically, she assured me there was a good reason why she set up this task for you. And while it has been hard for you, you have to persevere. She still waiting for you to finish to let you know how much she cares for you and how proud she is to have you as her daughter."

"My mother, she really still does cares for me..." On her face, she showed a teary happy smile before getting a determined look. She then turn back to the computer and exited the page she was in to start researching seriously. Alicia looked at her in concern, and I looked at her sadly as well before quietly leaving the room, leaving the door slightly ajar by accident.

Siblings Resort: Chapter 4 - Lonely Past

"Mommy!!!" A little blond girl with twin tails ran into the hands of a woman who looked just like her. She was waiting for her little one at the entrance of an elementary school.

"Hey sweetie, how was school today?" The mother embraced her before grabbing the child's hand while starting to walk away.

"It was great! And did you know? The scores came out for the test everyone had to do, I got a really really really good score!!!"

"Oh sweetie, that's amazing! I'm so proud of you..." By then, I could no longer hear them. They got too far away from the school gate. I was still by the school entrance, waiting for my own mother. She said she could pick me up today, so I was a little hopeful. As long as...

"Bzzt-Bzzt!"

"..." I cautiously flip my phone open, the screen reflecting my brown hair and big red bow briefly before lighting up. The text message icon had an exclamation mark, and I could already guess what it said.

Sorry Mylene. I got called in again for work. Walk home today as well, I left some food in the fridge. Mom.

My hopes were dashed, and my mood became gloomy. I was sad, but I started walking while disguising my true feelings. This isn't the first time I was stood up by my mother, but it still hurt.

"So how was your exam?" Another mother was asking her little boy this question as I passed them by.

"It was great. I did really good!"

"That's great, I knew I had a brilliant genius for a son! How do you feel about celebrating at the diner today, huh sweetie?"

"Really? Yay! Let's eat lots together!" They too, got too far for me to hear anymore. Still, they did give me an idea.

"Maybe my test score will make Mother happy enough to praise me...?" Despite being dashed mere moments ago, my hopes were lit up again,

*****

It was already well into the night, and I was in my red slippers and red nightgown that I use for sleeping. Sitting beside the table with a plain view of the front entrance, I waited for Mother's arrival. We lived in a small home with very little furniture, but it was comfortable enough. I was holding my test which had a 98% written at the top, hoping to receive praise for it. I smile and daydream a little about the words she may say.

"Maybe she will be so happy that she will make time for me...?" I let myself dream on, waiting for her arrival.

*****

"My little Mylene, you did such a great job on the national exam! I am so proud of you, I'm blessed to call you my daughter."

"Mom, stop, you're embarrassing me" I responded giggling happily.

"Oh my sweet daughter, this is too great to not celebrate. How about we go eat in a fancy restaurant? Just you and me?"

"Really? Yeah, that would be so much fun! Ah, but...?" I got meekly and looked at her cautiously to ask a question. "C-can I get a hug, please?"

"Oh, is that all? Of course, sweetie! Come here!" I couldn't help control my happiness at her response and jumped toward her with my hands up high.

"Mooom!!!" I expected a response from her, but all I heard then was a thunk on something wooden.

*****

"Ouch, it hurts!!!" I suddenly felt pain on my knees as I slammed them against something while unconsciously standing up. Soon after, however, my other senses began to clear up, and I immediately notice something was wrong. I was still beside the table where I waited for Mother, but didn't she come back already? Was it all a dream...? I couldn't stop myself from becoming gloomy.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp-chirp!" It was the chirping of birds that stopped me from spiraling into depression, and I realize that it was sunny outside.

"Wait? Morning...? Did Mother not come home at all...?" I took a look at my flip phone and saw a text. I immediately opened it up since the sender was my mother.

Mylene, I'll be staying at work tonight. Have breakfast at school and I'll make dinner when you get home.

"...So Mother did not come home last night..." After resting my head on my arms, I must've fallen asleep while watching television from where I sat. I couldn't help but get a little gloomy thinking about the wasted afternoon. "No, I can't let myself get depressed. I'll just show her the exam later today." I regained my composure, finding the exam in the middle of the table.

"Bzzt-Bzzt!" Another text came in, and I opened up to see it as it too was from my mother.

Mylene, confirm to me that you overslept. I've been notified that you are marked absent from school.

"Huh?!" I quickly looked outside and saw that the sunshine was too bright to still be morning. "Ah, no! I'm late!!!"

*****

"Older brothers are seriously the worst!" I was walking home from school behind a light purple short hair girl who had a hatred for older brothers. A blond hair girl who was wearing a purple flower headband walked beside her. "This morning, he used all of the milk for cereal and ate my pudding without even asking!"

"Is it really that bad?"

"Yes! I had to make a detour to the convenience store and ended up getting to school late!"

"...I don't really think that's bad at all. One time, Mom told my older brother to take me out to eat for my birthday. He took me to a fast food restaurant where his girlfriend worked and left me to walk home because he said he had to help her lose some calories. It took me 30 minutes to walk home!"

"...I guess I stand corrected? But the point still sticks! Older brothers suck! Their selfish jerks who just care about themselves!"

"...I mean, we reached that conclusion long ago, didn't we?"

"Yes, but we now have another kindred spirit!" The light purple hair girl in turn looked at me. "Right, Mylene?"

"Huh?!" I was shocked to see her include me in the conversation. The blond turned to look at me too as we continued to walk.

"...Right, Mylene has an older brother too, but they don't live together, Jolly."

"But she came in late today! And she had to stay behind at school yesterday! I'm sure she was forced to wait for her older brother who was visiting and was unable to get any sleep for having to put up with him, right Mylene? Right? Right-right?!" She got excited and closed in on me.

"W-well u-umm..."

"Stop it, Jolly," the blond girl said pulling her back. "Life isn't as simple as that. It was probably her mom again."

"Huh, her mother?"

"They haven't seen each other eye to eye recently. At least that's what you told me, right Mylene?"

"Ha-ha... right..." I responded with an awkward chuckle, getting a bit gloomy.

"Wait, is that true? Last time I saw her, she was a doting mother."

"That's because you haven't seen her recently, Jolly."

"Really? I guess it has been two years..."

"It's no wonder your so misinformed."

"Hey! Unlike you, Shirley, I started to help my parents! I'm not dozing off, leeching on my parents! I'm helping them in our candy store."

"...You trying to say something, Jolly?" Tension was obviously building around them.

"Come on, calm down," I said nervously. "Let's not fight, alright?" Both girls turn to look at me, and then look away meekly.

"Fine. Sorry Shirley, I didn't mean to imply anything bad."

"Yeah, I get it. I didn't mean to escalate the situation." Both apologized, but the tension still remained, until Shirley looked at me.

"But Mylene, are you really alright with your mother? She changed a lot in the past two years."

"I still don't understand. You should be experiencing those things with your brother, not your mother."

"You're still on that?" Jolly looked back at Shirley and was about to say something that could lead only to trouble.

"You guys..." I said sadly. This caused Jolly to hesitate, and Shirley just looked away as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Right..." Jolly let out. There was a pause, and we all kept walking awkwardly.

"Mylene," Shirley starts, "I'm only asking about your mother because I'm worried. She's been leaving you alone a lot recently, right? Why not try moving into your father's house?"

"...My father has my older brother living with him. I don't want to live with someone who's going to be mean to me."

"A kindred spirit," Jolly whispered, but we ignored her.

"And besides not knowing my father, I'm not interested in meeting him."

"You're not...?" asked Shirley.

"Whenever Mother used to talk about him, she would always become really sad. He must've done something bad to her, and I don't think I'll can get along with anyone who makes my mother sad."

"But being left alone a lot of time isn't good, Mylene. And she's making you sad now."

"...Mother, she... I'm sure she'll be back to normal soon. I mean, she's making sure I have everything I need. She just needs time to get... better..."

"..."

"..." By the time I finished talking, we were in front of my house. This was the part where we usually would separate happily, but the air was heavy. My two friends looked worried.

"Hey, Mylene," said Jolly, "if you ever need a place to stay, you're welcome to stay at my house."

"You told me so much horrible things about your brother that I don't think I would be able to sleep at night there."

"I would obviously make sure to take care of him first!!!"

"Your wording scares me," said Shirley. "Mylene, we're leaving now, but know we're here to help if you need it."

"I know. Thanks for caring about me, though." With that, they walked away together as I entered the house.

"...how could you..." It was when I entered the living room that I heard a woman's voice muffled behind the walls.

"Mother..." She was home today. I excitedly got my exam and headed to her room."

"...why...? I waited for you, all these years... and now, you've abandoned me in life too...?"

"..." I stopped moving. Something was wrong, she's crying. My mother is crying. From the direction of her muffled whimpers, she was in her room.

"...Darling... darling... I was a fool... I was such a fool... I was just so stubborn... And now, it's too late..." Her whimpers continued, and I hasten my pace. When I reached her door, I tried to open it, only to be stopped by the locked handle.

"Mother! Mother, I'm here! Please let me in! I don't want to hear you crying anymore, so please let me in!"

"...Go to your room, Mylene. You're the last person I need to see now..."

"...What...?" I stood in shock at her muffled voice.

"Stay in your room, Mylene. Grab whatever food you want and use the restroom if you need it, but don't talk to me until I see you tomorrow morning."

"...But Mothe-"

"DANG IT MYLENE," screamed my mother's muffled voice at the same time a table was slammed, "DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF!!!" It took me a moment to process what was happening.

"Mother, why?!!!" I yelled while running away crying, accidentally leaving behind my exam that fell to the ground slowly.

*****

It was late at night. I have been in my room for the entire afternoon, my face with clear signs that I have been crying for a long time. Many times I have been tempted to leave and check on my mother, but her voice still ranged in my head. It hurt so much. Just why does she not want to see me? Just why has she been avoiding me as much as possible? We were so close up until recently...

"The door is not locked..." I was in front of my mother's room. Despite the horrible afternoon, I found myself wanting to see her most of all. I wanted to comfort her, and if I did, then just maybe...

"Thud, thud." I lightly knocked on the door and awaited a response, but no answer came. I did it again, a bit louder, but still nothing. Gathering my courage, I opened the door slowly.

"Mother..." I whispered. Where I expected to see my mother, I just saw an empty room. There was a messed up bed and table with all its contents on the floor or knocked down, and a couple of other essential furnitures. But what captures my attention is the cracked picture frame on the foot of her bed. Tiny little pieces of a picture that was torn apart and now unrecognizable. But on Mother's bed, there was a piece of paper that was not torn up. "My exam..." The one I lost earlier, she must've picked it up. And it wasn't ripped. Did it please her?

"Creeeak." The sound of the front door opening scared me, but then it sounded as if it was slammed closed.

"M-mother...?" I peeked to see who it was, only to see that no one was there.

"Vrooooommmmm." I heard a car leaving outside, and silence was the only thing that followed. Mother left me alone, but where could she go this late at night?

"...Mother, why can't we be together anymore...? Why am I always left alone...? Just... why mother...?" I went back to my room, sobbing quietly.

Siblings Resort: Chapter 3 - The Surprises in Life

"I can't believe how easy it was for me to start acting like a girl in love again..." I was in my room sitting on my bed putting on white stockings as I prepare to go wake up Master Leon. In the past, I used to just wear black flats for footwear, but I started to like the feeling of stockings. I also think it goes well with the servant uniform I'm always wearing.

"Why resist it? You know you're still head over heels for him." Talking to me was my mother, who was getting ready on her side of the room. She was young looking and had white hair like me but with a black headband. Her magenta eyes and facial features were similar to mine. She was putting on her black dress that quickly cover the black bra of her modest chest and black underwear.

"I don't know how I feel about my mother telling me to get seduced by my master," I said while carefully sliding my feet into my black flats.

"You're complaining? You have to be more honest with yourself. I mean, you were the one who came in so lovestruck last night that you forgot to take a bath." I glare at my mother, but she just shrugs it off. "Comes on, Alicia. The fact that you're even able to see him again is a miracle in itself. How can you think of trying to give him the cold shoulder?"

"Because the last time I saw him he rejected me!"

"Huh? You confessed to him?"

"No! Not like that! It was that I pour my heart out to him and he denied my request! Despite being desperate, he said no to me, and it hurt!" My mother's gaze became serious while I became gloomy. "I asked him. I begged him. I was practically on my knees offering my life to him, and he said no. That he didn't want me in his mess..." I thought that since nine months have passed, I would be over this, but apparently not. Tears were starting to form, and I felt a heavy pain in my heart. "While I was okay giving everything up to be with him, he didn't love me enough to share his life with me..."

"...You really are a love-struck idiot."

"Huh...?" My mother's arms embraced me, her hand petting my head to calm me down.

"That wasn't all he said, was it? Come on, remember. You told me the story a bunch of times, so you know what I'm talking about." ...She's right. He said more to me. I remember the painful stuff more easily because it was more impactful, but there was more.

"He said..." I thought hard about the day we last saw each other, going through my memories until I finally remember the words that were meant as his concern over me, causing the pain in my heart to go away. "...He said he didn't want to make my life miserable to just stay with him. That he didn't want to ruin my life..."

"See? He was thinking of you. And tell me this, Alicia." She bent down to talk to me face-to-face. "From the way you came back yesterday, I know you both had a heart-to-heart. If the same situation happened again, do you think he would make the same choice as last time and leave you behind?" These words confused me, but I thought about it. Would he do the same thing again...?

I missed you. I was naive. I took you for granted. I didn't realize how important you were to me.

The memories of his words from yesterday echoed in my head. The pain that was in my heart is now replaced by happiness. The tears stopped at long last.

"No... He wouldn't... He said he realized that he felt miserable without me by his side... That he needed me." I couldn't stop a smile from popping up. My mother in turn smiled and got back up to finish dressing up, finishing by slipping on her black-nail feet into her own black flats.

"By the way," she said when at the door now ready to leave. "If I were you, I would confess to him fast. To make sure he stays with you no matter what, and to stop other girls from getting too close to him."

"Huh? Other girls?" I thought about this carefully. Has he ever been close to any other girl? ...No. When he lived here, it was only me and older female servants. I'm not sure about his time away, but he made it seem like he had a miserable time.

"...You really don't believe he can get closer to other girls?"

"...It is my plan to confess to him sooner rather than later, but... is there really other girls he can get close to? I don't think there's anyone."

"Really? Then what about Miss Mylene? With this strange assignment from the master of the mansion, he's bound to get close to her."

"Miss Mylene? But she's his sister. I don't think it's possible for blood-related siblings to ever fall in love..."

"Welp, it's true that it's highly unlikely, but you should still be on your guard. The world is a complicated place, and special situations tend to make the impossible possible."

"I guess, but the odds are really low. Still though... it's weird that you're this cautious about her. Did something like that happen before?"

"What? Relationship between fully blood-related family members? No, but I'm just saying. Better to be safe than sorry."

*****

"Morning, head housekeeper." After I and Alicia split up, I did some small errands before coincidentally meeting up with a red hair woman that had freckles. We were walking along the concrete halls and she displayed a gentle smile when she greeted me. But when I took a good look at her, she had dark bags under her eyes.

"Emily, you doing alright? Seem like you haven't slept last night. Nervous about the move?"

"Ha, ha... I guess I didn't have much sleep last night. But nerves have nothing to do with it. It was little Shirley."

"Shirley, huh? I forgot being a single mother to a toddler is extremely draining..."

"Yeah, but I don't mind. I'm raising her with all the love in the world. Also, she's too cute!" She got a little too enthusiastic, getting too close to me, but I was used to this.

"Yep, I experienced that burst of adrenaline too. But speaking of which..." My voice became more serious as I became more cautious. "Is he still trying...?" Upon understanding what I was referring to, Emily's mood changed quickly and looked away annoyed.

"That mustache trash for a man is unbelievable! He has the nerve to get MY PARENTS to ask me to marry him and let bygones be bygones?! After I find him arrested for public indecency with a bunch of prostitutes?!" Emily then turns to me, with fury in her eyes. "Not to mention he was using SHIRLEY'S college funds for his wild nights at the brothels! I already requested for a restraining order, but apparently, that's not enough! I can't even trust my own family!"

"There, there," I said trying to calm her down. "I'm sorry I asked." Emily realized what she was doing, and breathed in and out to calm down.

"No, sorry, I got overheated. Still though, if you weren't there to help me out financially, I might've had to go to the brothel my-OUCH!" I hit her head without mercy.

"You know I don't like dark humor, Emily." I could practically feel a dark aura coming out of me as I then continue chopping her head.

"I'm sorry! I'm SORRY! Please, stop!" I didn't. "Please! I'm supposed to take care of Alicia am I not?! I'm not going to be able to with head trauma!"

"You're not going to be able to take care of her if all your energy is used at night. You wouldn't be able to concentrate during the day! Seriously, I'm putting my daughter's well-being in your care," I said finally stopping.

"I get it, I get it! Geez, you can't take a joke, can you?"

"No."

"You weren't supposed to answer!" She started getting out of breath when I stopped in front of the door that nameplate read Risa Lunastone. Emily notices this and pauses to think for a second. "Head housekeeper, I'm confused about something." I just stood with a stoic face, already guessing what she was going to ask. "Your daughter is going with Master Leon. And when Master Leon was kicked out by the new master of the mansion, you did everything you could to gather any information on where he was sent. Why are you staying here instead of going with me to protect them?"

"Because the owner of the mansion is a risk, and not knowing her motives makes her too dangerous to leave on her own." I turn to stare at the nameplate. "By a miracle, I managed to convince her to call back Master Leon from wherever he was to help Miss Mylene, but she can easily change that."

"Hmm... I guess I get it. Staying by the mansion hea-OUCH!"

"Master of the Mansion," I said chopping her head again. "Titles are important here, it would be disrespectful to shorten it and can lead to severe consequences if you did it with the wrong person in the room."

"Okay, fine! So by staying with the Master of the Mansion, you are at least able to pick up on something bad beforehand and do something ab-EEP!" At that moment, the door opened, prompting a surprised yelp from the freckled woman. A girl came out that was a little older than my daughter. She had magenta eyes like me and Alicia, and white hair but with dark blue highlights that reached her upper back. Colorful flower clips decorated her hair as pin versions decorated her black dress. Her nails were painted dark blue and she gave a surprised look when she caught sight of us.

"Huh, Aunt Nanako? What are you doing here?"

"Wait, huh? You're not Owner Risa-Ouch!"

"If the master of the mansion was here, we wouldn't be talking about this. She left for a vacation to avoid seeing Master Leon. Also, Shizuka..." Now looking at my niece, "What do you mean what am I doing here? Isn't it time for our training?"

"...Aunt Nanako, did you forget that I finished last week?"

"Wait, you say what now?"

"My training! Didn't we finish last week? The plan was for me to do your daily morning routines all by myself today in exchange for getting information on how best to be Miss Mylene's personal servant?" My face stiffened at the realization and instantly became gloomy.

"I could've slept in today! AGHHH, WHAT A WASTE!!!" I blame Alicia for this. If she didn't wake me up and distracted me all morning with her complaining, I would've remembered.

"...No, I would've awaken you anyway." Emily eye us both, and then suddenly started chuckling.

"Hehe, I guess the head housekeeper isn't as perfect as I thought she was-Ouch!"

"Let's go Shizuka," I ordered after teaching Emily another lesson, "let's talk in my room."

"Huh? Uh... sure..." We left Emily massaging her head behind. I didn't care at all, but my niece looked back with worried.

"She's starting to sulk."

"Leave her be. She used to restrain her emotions to appear all proper in front of boys in the past. Seeing her show emotions is the greatest indicator that she's doing just fine.

"If you say so, I guess..."

"But speaking of appearances..." I eye Shizuk's flower clips and dark blue highlights specifically, "You are really dressed up. You're not doing that to hide something, are ya?"

"How dare you, Aunt Nanako!" Shizuka pouted, "I decorated my uniform this way because I thought it was cute."

"And your hair highlights?"

"What? Does it not look good?"

"It does, but I recall a time not too long ago when you highlighted your hair in yellow to get a boy's attention."

"..."

"A rich boy."

"...FINE!" she finally admits. "This Master Leon that Alicia always talks about when she visits, if he helps his sister successfully, he'll inherit the riches from his mother, right? So I'm thinking if I catch his heart, then my future will be set and I won't have to work at all!"

"...Your such a gold digger. Don't you know already that he's your cousin's sweetheart? And I recommended you for your job to help cheer up Miss Mylene, not flirt with her brother."

"Don't worry Aunt Nanako, I know. I'll be Miss Mylene's best personal servant! While snatching up her brother as my man at the same time, heh-heh."

"I can't help but worry." Eventually, we reach my room's door, but as we were about to open it...

"Mooooom!!!" It was a scream barely audible from far away. We stopped to look for the source, but couldn't find where it came from. "Mooooooooom!!!!" It was louder and nearer this time, but I recognize this voice.

"Aunt Nanako, isn't that Alicia?" I stared in the direction Shizuka was looking, and there she was, running towards us in tears. Isn't she crying a little too often these days?

"MOOOOOOOOOM!!!" She got closer and closer, and when in range, she threw herself right at me.

"Wait, Alicia, don't throw-GACK!" It was too late, and while I manage to catch and hold her up, her weight pushed me against the door. Shizuka did not need to dodge thanks to there being some space between us.

"What the heck, Alicia?! Why did you just throw yourself at me?!" But she ignored me, and instead looked up at me in tears.

"Mom... Mom... Master Leon... He... He..." Master Leon? Wait... Did something happen? Alarm bells rang in my head. Did Owner Risa give a secret order? Is he in danger?

"Alicia, what's this about Master Leon?" I urged looking at her seriously.

"Master Leon... He... He... HE GOT DEFILED BY THAT VIXEN!!! I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU, BUT I WAS WRONG! MASTER LEON HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM ME BY MISS MYLENE! HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!!!"

"..."

"..." I stood stunned. Shizuka wasn't in Alicia's view, but she was clearly intrigued by what she just heard. But... Master Leon and Miss Mylene...? Isn't that...?

"HUUUHHHH???!!!" We both reacted in surprise, with Alicia herself getting surprised by the arrival of her cousin.

Siblings Resort: Chapter 2 - Nine Months Ago

People believe that Master Leon and I are of the same age, but I'm actually two years older than him. It might not seem like much, but I can't exactly call myself a kid anymore. My body is starting to mature, and so are my feelings and knowledge. The intense education we receive as a benefit of being part of the rich community advances our knowledge of etiquette, writing, history, science, and business management, but for everything else, knowledge is learned naturally. And that includes the natural recognition of the opposite sex.

"Master Leon... I really can't stop thinking about you..." I was sitting beside him as he slept comfortably in the bed. His brown hair is a little messy but it fits his natural style. His night clothes consisting of a plain grey short and a black t-shirt. He looks really at peace, but dawn's morning sunlight coming from the window told me it was time for him to wake up. Still, I couldn't help but desire to keep looking at him, and I gave his nose a quick touch out of impulsiveness. "Boop."

"Hmm... Hm..." As if he was reacting to my touch, he scratched his nose before turning his head around. The visual loss of his face interrupted whatever was causing me to keep staring, and now free from my trance, I quickly got up realizing what I was doing.

"I don't get the logic behind this... Just looking at him gets my heart to act all crazy..." As if to confirm this, I place my hand where my heart is, and it indeed is beating wildly. There was also a warm happy feeling washing over me just by looking at him. "I don't get it... Up until recently, I could interact with him just fine, but now... is this really love...?" Mom told me what I was feeling was love. When I brought up the topic the first time, she was shocked. But then she shook her head before explaining to me calmly that my body and feelings were instinctively recognizing him as a potential marriage partner. That it was using my fixation on him and warm feelings to encourage me to get closer to him, to create a more special bond with him. "This warm feeling, it's scary..."

"You feel the warm feeling too?"

"Huh?!" All of the sudden, Master Leon's face was back to how it was before. His eyelids were no longer in the way of his brown eyes that were threatening me to go back into a trance. I could feel my cheeks getting a little red.

"M-master Leon, you were a-awake?"

"I woke up just now." He sat up from where he was, stretching his hands before looking at me. "So, you get strange warm feelings too?" His eyes looked serious, and that same feeling in me got stronger.

"S-s-strange warm feelings? What do you mean, Master Leon?"

"You don't know? Maybe it is just me..." He turned away, thinking to himself, but I couldn't let this chance get away. Maybe he feels the same way about me?

"Y-you got me curious now. Please, won't you tell me what you mean?"

"I... guess there's no harm in explaining." He turns to look at me again, showing a gentle nervous smile. "Every once in while, when I'm with you, I feel a small warm sensation. I don't really understand it, but it's not like it's... unpleasant? It's just a weird feeling." This explanation... Yeah, I guess it can be considered love...? It doesn't sound too strong though... My good mood is suddenly all gone.

"I see, well Master Leon it's time to get up now. You are to meet your father at the lecture hall for the early morning business lecture. Then, after breakfast, you are to meet your private tutor for some review in business marketing, follow by a quick session in the lesson tube for some knowledge installation. Then-"

"Wait, are you mad at me Alicia? Your stoic face is back and it looks like you're in work mode..."

"I know not what you mean. Now, as I was saying, after your session in the lesson tube, you are to take some time to relax, before going..."

*****

It's now the afternoon, and I'm washing some pots in the kitchen with the help of a stepping stool. I wasn't alone though, there are other servants doing work around me, but I'm not really one to talk to others. The only people I talk to are Master Leon, my mother, and occasionally the master of the mansion.

"I can't believe I went weird again..." It always happens. Whenever I get annoyed at Master Leon, whether intentionally or not, I go stoic. Like some sort of defense mechanism. "It's a wonder how he puts up with me, with all my sudden mood swings..." I put the pot I finish washing off to the side to dry and pick up the next.

"Ms. Starford," a nearby female servant said to me, "Master Leon's afternoon snack is ready. I can take over washing duties if you wish to go see him immediately."

"Ah, really?" I take a look at the time and see his afternoon lecture is almost done. "I guess I will then. Thank you."

"Nothing to worry about. The tray is on the cart already."

"Thank you again." I was already off the stool and pushing it underneath the sink with my foot. Afterward, I spotted Master Leon's food tray on a table kart and exited the kitchen with it. There were other servants roaming the concrete hall besides me, but I couldn't help but look at a young pair, a brown-hair man with a twirled mustache and a red, short-hair woman with freckles walking hand to hand while talking.

"My dear, are you free this evening? I was hoping we can walk around the garden and enjoy the beautiful night sky together."

"I'm sorry, I can't. The master of the mansion is getting home late today, so I have to stay on duty to cook his dinner."

"Oh that's a shame, but maybe..." They were too far away for me to hear anymore, but I wasn't paying that much attention anyway. I was just envious of them.

"From what Master Leon said, it's reasonable to think that he has some feelings for me. He just doesn't understand them..." A door open up at the end of the hall, and Master Leon's figure came into view. He saw me coming, and smile while starting to make his way to me, my face heating up a little.

"Alicia. Thank you for bringing me my afternoon snack as always."

"No problem, you know I'm always happy to."

"I'm glad then. Can we go to the garden today?"

"Of course, Master Leon." We started to walk together towards the center of the property, side by side, and my heart started beating fast again.

"So, how was today's afternoon lecture?" I started in an effort to distract myself.

"Draining," he groans. "I know I say this a lot, but I respect father for managing all the resorts he has. It's ridiculous how much work goes into managing just one."

"That hard?"

"Collectively? Yes. Individually, yes as well but there's a team to help out. The main job is to dictate the theme and its implementations, but when managing multiple, it's a balance game, and one mistake creates so many problems..." He rubs his forehead, which I know is his way to stop an incoming headache.

"I-I see... Sorry, I didn't mean to trouble you."

"Naw, it's nothing. A little rest is all I need." We exited the building, and enter the open-air garden. There's a giant tree in the middle, surrounded by mulch and bushes that encircle the perimeter. Scattered around the perimeter were smaller trees and other bushes, with rare flowers every so often. It was a beautiful place that was right at the center of the property. Leaving the food kart behind, Master Leon grabbed the tray of food and started walking to a picnic table with me right behind him.

"I still think I should be the one carrying the tray Master Leon."

"It is the norm, but I don't want to abuse you, Alicia. While you are my personal servant, I still want you as a friend too."

"That's a bit embarrassing, but I'm glad you feel that way. I consider you a friend too."

"I would hope so, we spent our entire life together."

"Yeah, I guess that would help too, heh-heh..." The pleasant warm feeling washed over me again. Being with Master Leon really brought me much joy. As we sat down, sharing the sandwiches that were on the tray, we enjoy the nature that surrounded us. The chirping of birds that lived nearby, the warmth of the sunlight, and the gentle breeze that would mess up my hair to my dismay. Master Leon laughed, while all I could do was pout. Eventually, though, Master Leon took a look at the time, and I could tell that he needed to leave soon.

"Sorry Alicia, but I need to start heading back. I have my last lecture of the day coming up," he said standing up.

"Yeah, I know..." It was really fun, but I know more than anyone to not mess with Master Leon's schedule. It was for the good of his future, after all, but even so...

"Hey, no need to be upset. Let's see, today... father will be coming home late. Do you think we can spend the night together?"

"Tonight? Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem," I responded cheerfully. Any more time with Master Leon is always welcome.

"Great, then shall we meet in my room? Or do you want to spend the night in our secret base?" As I was thinking, I remember the pair that I walked by when pushing the food kart. The man said something about the night sky.

"Actually, Master Leon, I heard that the sky is beautiful at night. Do you think... we could meet up here to look at it together?" I asked blushing a little.

"The night sky? Yeah, that would be cool to see. Maybe we'll get lucky and see a shooting star."

"Really?! Then we'll meet here?"

"Sure. Come after dinner, I'll have some sweets ready."

"Sure, I'll see you tonight!" Master Leon walked away after that, and my facial expression showed all the joy I was feeling without my consent. It wasn't until later that I realize I failed as a servant for letting Master Leon get the sweets ready in my stead.

*****

"W-what... did... you just... say...?" My face is in horror. It was just after dinner, and I was in my light blue sleeping nightgown. I was exiting my room to go meet up with Master Leon when a bunch of women in dark blue suits came up to me. They were being led by the pair of servants I passed by earlier that were holding hands. The freckled woman visually sad while the twirl mustache man just shows an expression of pity.

"Child," one of the women in suits said, "I don't think that the subject is something that should be spoken out loud without necessity. Can you just tell us if he's in your room? We were unable to find him in his." I stood in silence and shock, but the woman kept glaring at me expecting an answer. What I just heard... What they came here for... They were going to take Master Leon away from me.

"Child," she repeated impatiently. The freckled woman, however, broke down and cried on her knees when she saw my face. The man remained without a change in his expression, but I didn't really care. Instead, I just dashed away, as if by instinct, and headed straight to Master Leon. I couldn't control my face, I couldn't hide my fear, my sadness. Tears were dropping like crazy, and I care not.

"Master Leon, Master Leon, MASTER LEON!" I'm about to lose him, I'm about to never see him again! There has to be something I can do! The garden was close to my room, so I reached it in no time, and in the distance, I saw Master Leon looking up to the starry night sky in his grey short and black t-shirt. He was on the picnic bench from earlier, with a tray of cupcakes next to him. "MASTER LEON!!!"

"Woah?!" Startled, he turned to me and immediately realized something was up. He ran and met me halfway, instantly holding me in a tight embrace as I practically threw myself at him. "Alicia, what's wrong?!" he asked while separating himself enough from me to see my face. I, not caring for any formalities said the first thing that came to mind.

"Master, please run away with me!"

"Huh?! Wait, what do you mean?! Alicia, what's going on?! Please, you're scaring me!"

"Master, please, there's little time! Please, PLEASE! I beg you, let's run away Master! PLEASE!

"Alicia, what's going on?! Y-you know I can't! As much as I want to, I have Father to care for as well! He wouldn't approve! He's been training me to inherit his legacy, how could I abandon him for everything he's done to me!" My face, which was already a mess and fill with tears, must have somehow gotten worse as there was an immediate worried response in his expression. To get him to run away with me, to break that nail that's keeping him here, I could do it by telling him what I just learned, but I don't want to be the one to tell him. I don't want him to associate it with me every time he looks at me. I have no choice but to beg and hope for a miracle.

"Please, Master Leon, you don't know it yet, but you lost it all! And I mean everything, but if you at least run away with me, I'll be able to stay by your side! Please, please! We don't have much time!" We heard the sounds of an approaching group of people and turned to look. The women in suits that I saw by my room were almost here. Absolute dread fills my face, and I turn to him and wail one last time. "LEON!!!" His response to this was absolute fear, but he shook his head for a little courage.

"I-I can't! I don't understand what's happening, but if I really lost everything, I'm not going to drag you into my mess, Alicia! I don't want to make your life miserable by staying with me!" The dam that was holding the last of my tears broke, and I cried without control. The group of women had reached us, and I immediately tighten my hug with Leon as much as I could, not caring about the tears that could smear his clothing.

"Lock the girl in her room," the one who talked earlier commanded. As her companions got near, Leon instinctively tighten his grip around me but was overpowered like I was through their teamwork. As he was held in place, a group was taking me away.

"MASTER LEON! MASTER LEOOOOON!!!" Leon was clearly scared, confused, but I could tell he was trying to at least maintain his dignity while I could still see him. He did his best to control his emotions and looked at the leader of the squad. As for me, they covered my mouth with their hands and I could do nothing but listen as the commander gave Master the crushing news.

"Leon Solstone. At approximately midday today, your father passed away. As such, with the lack of will, custody of you and everything he owns goes to the closest family member of legal age. In this case, his divorce wife, and she has accepted the properties but ordered for you to be put up for adoption. You are to gather the necessities from your room and come with us immediately." By the end of her statement, I could no longer see my Master, or hear a word of his reply if he said anything at all.
