**Roaming in the dark two young teen runs through**

W-w-wait!!! Don't go, accept my proposal!

-I'm not a girl so please ... Stop.

**The teen stood still shocked of what the "girl" said.**

—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—

—I'm xiangxi my little twin sister the female lead well technically just one minute late from being born after me is gonna get proposed soon after thirteen years a fact,...to be honest I shouldn't be the one living in this body,...the one supposed to ruin the proposal, well I suppose I have to...I don't want to ruin the story line—

**Xiangxi "4 year old"**

-... I have to learn more about this world, few things I learned is that, this is the mid evil times like those historical manhwa's I read, second kinda like Isekai'd me here like those rip off manhwa's...and third this world has magic...this world is familiar but it's in the tip of my tongue I can't remember if this world is a manhwa or a game I played before...but I guess I just have to wait for events...

**Knock-knock**

Brother~ can you please let me in... you've been in the library for too long... mother is worried about you!

-wait! I-i'm coming!

—that's my sister...I figured she's the female lead because she has every flaws...like the blonde hair blue eyes...well technically I have the same but still she's the female so that means there's probably a chance that she'll meet some poor kid lying around that is actually the duke's illegitimate son or something, probably has black hair or silver, and for the eyes purple or red, I'm just guessing.—

**Open's the door, a big hug is given to xiangxi**

Brother!...why are you so secretive! Let's Play hide and seek but first see mother so she wouldn't worry about you!

**A sweet smile she made**

—ahh...the typical female lead smile...I can see why the male lead will fall for her.—

-sure-sure let's go...

Quit acting like an old man brother you're still the same age as me...I can never have fun...if you act that way!

**She said in a teary eye**

-a-alright please don't cry sis... let's just go...

**She sniffed and lead xiangxi to their mother hopping happily while walking.**

—well that's a quick change of mood...—

**After reaching the place, his sister looks at him happily**

—What the hell is this?!?! Why are there so many people in the same room?!?!—

**Xiangxi stood still and slowly walks away, he figured he can't go in crowded places because of his social issues**

**Xiangxi's sister stopped him from going away**

Uhh-uhh you are not going anywhere!

-we can talk about this sis!

Look at all those people mother send to find you but turns out you're just in the library!

-please sis...if you let me go...I uhm..I'll ask for pastry from the cheff to give to you.

I can do that myself!

-wait...no just listen I can't go-

*She dragged him to the room loaded with so many people*

—...oh god...—

My baby!!! Where have you been!

—im not your baby! I'm the older brother by one minute!—

-s-stop it mom...

You really have to say Where you're going...or I'm never going to find you my baby...

—for some ... reason I am the favorite among the twin...well she is the female lead after all of course she will be the one discriminated and I'm sure it's because I'm a "male" being a male is good in mid evil times because they make their family name inherit through the generations.—

Mommy? Can I get a good job for finding brother?

Oh sure, good job.

*Her mother said nonchalantly.*

—Favoritism hits hard...—

(?) Mysterious person.

—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—

**Even if the mother's reply was too short she still smiles softly grateful to hear that from the mother**

-mom can you at least thank my little sister more lively...we are like the same person please don't treat us differently.

Oh child no, you both are not the same person, you're greater than her, has a more brighter future.

—she's hopeless of a mother, I have to act like I'm manipulated by her words since I was supposed to I guess?...—

-really mommy?

Yes!

**And with that, she pinched his cheek being a lively mother to him but not his sister, his sister watched in jealousy but she kept those to herself.**

-mom I'm going to play with sis now, bye!

Oh-oh...yeah I forgot you'll play with me, let's go!

*She smiled happily*

-Should we play in the garden.

Yes sure! It's so beautiful there.

-then? Let's go, I'll lead the way.

**As then he leaded the way to the garden, on the way there he then accidentally bumps on someone making him fall.**

-A-ah...sorry

\=It's fine...

-no like really...

**Xiangxi got up helping the person he bump on to get up too, he saw that the person seems to be in the same age as him**

-hi...so uhm who are you?

**He Wondered since his father seems to have not said anything of someone going to their estate**

\= Oh uhm actually...my father is finding a suitable marriage for me...so we had to ask your father to give out the message to every royal...and compete for my love ...

-...no I mean who are you, not the reason why you're here...

\=Oh...pardon me,

**The person bows and introduced himself**

\= I'm Clein Crossward the firstborn of the Crossward family and the crown prince of the kingdom, nice to meet you.

**Clein looked to both his side like he's finding someone.**

**Xiangxi fails to see the prince's action and just bows in a sign of respect and also introduced himself**

-i'm Xiangxi Lounder the first born of the Lounder, nice to meet you your highness.

**Clein tend to look at Xiangxi then pointed at his sister**

\=Who's that?

—Wait isn't he a prince, doesn't that mean he's the second male lead?!?! Will this be love at first sight?!?!—

**Xiangxi smiled softly**

-that is my little sister, Xie Lounder.

—oh god oh god I can't wait for his reaction—

\=Oh okay.

—wait...no reaction at all?!?! Oh right... we're still kids ...haah...I'm just being delusional...—

\=So where were you guys heading to...c-can I join?

**Clein shyly asked**

-of course.

Yeah we don't mind.

\= I'm grateful.

-for what? It was just a mere thing to ask...it's not that deep...

\=Oh- right...

-the garden is close by let's go.

Yeah hehe!

**When in the garden three of them started walking around exploring the garden getting to see every kind of flower there Xiangxi got himself apart from Xie and clein to leave them alone to each other**

—huh... acting like a kid is so bothersome I could never think that something like this will happen to me—

**Xiangxi let's out a loud sigh while walking the opposite side of the garden cloe to the maze**

—a maze? Oh yeah I remember mother telling me that there is a maze here as a bed time story, I thought it wasn't real...she said theres a red spider Lily is within deep in the maze but when you got in the maze you can never get out...you know what? I want to be that kind of stupid kid, I'm going in the maze!!!!.—

**He got in the maze the most idiotic thing hell do.**

-huh...that's weird...when I got in the maze the entrance disappeared...???I'm scared...I'm alone here...

(?): hello...? Is someone there...i-i hear you?

—sh*t is this the supposed route for the female lead I'm so stupid!!!! I'm not supposed to be the one in trouble!!! oh my gosh I can't swear properly in my head! And is that kids voice too?...—

(?): hey? Hello I h-heard you! Please...can you communicate with me? Where are you? Do you know how can we escape? Or...are you just as clueless as I am?

—i don't know if what I'm doing will change anything for the female lead but I don't care, I don't want to die here all alone.—

-uhh... Hey! I'm xiangxi...I am just as clueless as you are...where are you exactly...it seems that we have to keep going and find an exit or we'll die here...

(?): d-die?!? Please I don't want that!!!

**Sobbed**

-how did you got here exactly.

(?): a-all I remember was that I am with my brother...then I lost him... P-please...I don't want to die...!

-youre fine calm down I'll try to find you...

(?): o-okay...I'll be waiting for you, do I try to find you too?

-No you'll be making my life harder if you kept moving.

(?): o-okay

-just wait there you're close or probably in the other side of the maze already...

(?): maze?

-what?

(?): what do you m-mean maze...?

-w-w-wait, you're, not in the maze?

(?):n-no...i'm in the middle of somewhere that is dark...I can't see anything...

-w-wait then if you're in somewhere dark then you must be locked in a room so...how can you hear me?

(?): i-i I don't know! please just find me

-...you said you try to find me earlier, if you're stuck in a room then how can you find me? Hum? Answer me!

(?):...hmph...not so easy to fool huh?

**"?" Got to xiangxi using his shadow self covering Xiangxi's mouth to not scream of shock.**

-mmhmp!

(?): oh please don't scream I was just joking that I wasn't stuck on the maze...I just make jokes in a serious time, so hey I'm Harold Crossward nice to meet ya...oh oof sorry for covering your mouth

—hmph this kid got some bad manners did he just say Crossward and wait?...how did he make himself a shadow...he already learned magic?—

-that was unnecessary...this is not the time to just do that! We are stuck on a maze!

\=For you, you're but I can just make myself a shadow and escape,

-then why are you still here?!?!

\=Because I wanted to see if someone is dumb enough like me to just step in somewhere so mysterious.

-well good job that you found me and all but can we just escape I don't want to stay here in decades!

\=Ok, ok just hold my hand and let's go.

-you don't have germs do you?

\=What no! So mean, just hold my hand! You know what.

**Harold held Xiangxi's hand himself and turned to his shadow form making Xiangxi the same since he is holding Harold's hand, the got out the long maze and Harold stopped squeezing Xiangxi's hand.**

\=I'll be honest your hand are like a girls.

-what did you say?!?

\=Nothing~

**In a pure coincidence xia and clein got to where Harold and Xiangxi got out onto.**

—i don't think this is a coincidence anymore...—

\=Wait- Harold??? Where have you been I've been looking for you...

\=Sorry just got a bit of a meeting here.

\=You're making me sick from trying to find you all over here, I even sent out our guards that was supposed to be with us.

\=Okay-okay sorry.

Brother!!! I was also scared not being with you! Clein was asking me tons of questions ab-

**Clein blushed and hushed xia**

-about what?

N-nothing!

-a-are you sure you're making me worried is this about the maze?

Well-

\=Yes! It's about the maze

\=Hey are you guys forgetting that I am still here???

"Harold"

—why do these kids kinda act like adults when they're probably just are three like me??? probably because of the æū5hø4 wait why is æū5hø4 censored in my head too? Ugh what a weird story with a ⁴th 2äll, that too! Ugh...my thoughts aren't even heard by anyone.—

\=Hey Xiangxi is that right?

"Harold"

-Yes, I remember I that I told my name to you very hearingly before.

\=How did you get in the m-

*Xiangxi panicked and immediately covered Harold's mouth and whispered.*

`-hey now it's just between us don't tell anyone else about this!!! It's a huge embarrassment`

`\=ohhhh okay.`

Uhm what were you going to say...?...

**She looked a bit weirded out that Xiangxi suddenly covered Harold's mouth same as Clein too but Clein is just shocked...not weirded out.**

\=Yeah what is it you're going to tell to xiangxi loudly and not whisper?

\=Uhm well just a private thing we talked about, OUR SECRETS!

—they're a bit of a mature kid after all? I know they will just fall off the conversation and stopped asking after they got an answer but if they're one of those complicated one's, I don't know anymore,Wait how old are they? I only know xia's age but what about the others...ill just ask randomly...—

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh...... sorry...okay

-wait so Clein and Harold how old are you guys are?

\=Me first! I'm 4!

"Harold"

\=I'm five...

"Clein"

—wait so these two are older than me??? What the- but wait I'm technically older than them since I am 19 in the past phew...I forgot—

Wow! Clein you're two years older than me?!

\=It's funny right?

\=Not really

"Harold"

\=Well only for me though...

"Clein"

-stop now I think it's 2pm now I have to go to mother.

Oh right! She'll scold him again like the last time.

\=H-h-huh? But wait...

**Clein frowned**

\=Can we see you again...?

"Harold"

-Yeah? If your father visited out father here again.

—why the f are they desperate to see me again instead of the heroin—

Brother let's go now~

**Harold and clein waved good bye to xiangxi and xia and got back to their father at Xiangxi's father's office talking about the engagement for prince Clein.**

\=Father will we go here again?

"Clein"

Of course! Untill we meet your suitable partner because this man right here is sending messages to every kingdom to who you with propose too...

**Clein blushed.**

\=But father shouldn't that be Heald in my twelve birthday?

Oh deary I'm just doing it early...

\=Can I at least enjoy my childhood before those engagement stuff I'm still five I've got to go to learn how to properly use my magic my sword and play the piano...

Maybe you're right honey, why do you want to visit here next time too anyway?

\=Just some new friends father

Hohoho? You probably met my children!

"Xiangxi and xia's father replied."

Oh yeah... I never got to see them, have they grown up?

Definitely.

I see they were so cute when they were a little baby.

Yeah but I can say that isn't "were" they're still very cute in my perspective as their father.

\=So uhm father are we going home or...

"Harold"

Yeah we're silly kiddo just a few seconds let me just talk with your new friends father and we're done.

**And so Clein and Harold's father talk to their new friends father with just a few seconds of conversation the two male leads are not even listening because the two of them are talking about the novel that Clein read and how similar the description is to "one" of their new friends but that didn't last long because they had to leave but just talk about it in the carriage on their way to the palace.**

\=Really is isn't it?

\=Yep.

"Clein"

I can't help but overhear what you guys are talking about, and what that might be?

\=Oh father...we were just talking about...well uhm a novel character that is very similar to one of our new friends.

"Clein"

Oh? You mean Xia and Xiangxi which one of them?

\=Xia-

**Clein looks at Harold.**

Oh xia? That's fun...haha seems like she's a female lead on both of your story.

**Clein giggles softly.**

\=Really yeah... totally...!

"Harold"

Why'd you say that so conspicuously?

\=Nothing really.

—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~—~

**Back in Xiangxi's room after the time he got to see his mother, he let out a loud sigh.**

-Finally...out of those characters, wait I'm going to get my book first.

**Xiangxi brought his notebook and a quill and of course first put the ink on top tip toeing so the ink doesn't spill on him after that he got to the table jumping up the chair.**

-I hate being so small.

**Xiangxi opened his clear book and you can see a very detailed charactering talking about every character of the people he met in the house he is keeping in watch on them it seems? It's said there the personality favorites and everything their hair color and eye color also their skin color is included.**

-two new characters today...Clein Crossward and Harold Crossward....first of Clein he talked to me first...

-silver white beautiful hair...almost like a mirror...it's so shiny,pale skin, blue crystal lake eyes...like every..male lead... he seems like a very shy guy he blush all the time he gets too flustered easily what's more is that he looks like he would be a nice and sweet lover for my sister but I don't know yet...it might be one of those route that he becomes so possessive out of sudden because of intense love...I hope not...his maid's are very picky on his clothes it looks very formal and cute for his age I mean he is a prince I could say the same thing for Harold since he is the second prince...do they have anymore brother? Not sure but in the future I'll probably get that information...the father the king the mother a question I don't know if she died or still alive... Too little for information I need to search more about him...

-now...Harold Crossward, his shade of grey in the hair is very different to the fist prince it's almost like a little blonde tint is mixed...must be a different mother or a mistress,his skin color...a bit darker from the first prince but still white in skin...the first prince in skin is very abnormal...I guess that is normal for manhua or anime characters...his eyes...as same the first prince, his personality is amusingly fun he's more like the real kid after Xia my sister, they could hang along and play hide and seek without me but I don't think Xia would agree since she is used to me being the only one playing with her...same father and... clothes but differentiate in color more darker...I guess that's it for now I'll find out more...

-gosh I have too much information of them, if someone got to see this they will think I'm weird taking information of everyone I know here, let me just hide this again...

**Xiangxi leave the book opened for a bit for the ink to dry, after it dried he closed the book and jumped down the chair hiding the book somewhere in his bookshelf that he could reach.**

-job done... it's five now we it's almost time for dinner...I should relaxe a bit in the bed...

**Xiangxi slowly got up the bed.**

-ugh d*mn height...

**Xiangxi lays in the bed very tiredly of jumping and going up due to his small body.**

-my...such a long day....

**Xiangxi dozed off closing his eyes he then fell asleep.**
