Bab 279: Big Brother (1)

Leon sat beside the unconscious Antoine. He looked at the bedside and saw the herbal wash that Kayden prepared for his second brother. 

Without a word, he took the soft towel and soaked it in the warm medicinal bath. Then after wringing it gently, he, without regard for his status and gender, bent to wipe his second brother's unconscious body. 

Antoine's body was no longer pale and his wounds were already completely healed. His sleeping face is peaceful and serene, contrary to the unwilling expression he had during the time Leon rescued him. 

Looking at his face, Leon was reminded of the time when he was about to turn five years old. 

While all the adults inside the palace showed contempt for him, it was only his second brother who took him by the hand and played with him. Everyone was saying how lowly his origins were, how unfitting he was to be the prince, and how unnecessary his presence was in the palace.
