This story is story will be about Claude's past hehe..
I repeat, Claude's past, so his childhood;
"Selfish child!"
"Keep on limping, haha!"
"Ugly!"

Those words keeps echoing in Claude's head, digging his ears brutally and endlessly.

"Claude?"
A boy called,
"Wanna play catch?.."

Yes, whoelse beside the favourite child, Anastacius.
Also Claude's bestfriend at that time.

"Anastacius de alger Obelia!"
A women yelled,
"That child is always running away.."

Meanwhile, Anastacius is covering Claude's mouth incase he made a sound.
"Stay quite if you want to play"
He whispers.

The footsteps started to fade away.

"Brother?.. isn't it your time for magic studies?.."
Claude asked.

"Yes it is, it's kinda not fair that I have to learn that while you can slack around.. am I the favourite child, or you?.."
Anastacius pouted.

"Of course you are, brother"
Claude giggled and hugged Anastacius.

"Hm.."
Anastacius smiled and hugged back,
"But you're my favourite brother!"

•••
"This is lady Penelope!"
Claude's mother, her majesty, introduced and pointed to Penelope who dressed well and marvelously.

"Greetings, prince Claude De alger Obelia, i'm Penelope Margritta!"
Penelope smiled.

Claude glanced to his mother.

"Ah right! Since you've been a goodboy, Claude, i and father thought about giving you a reward!"
Her majesty smiled, more like a forced smile.

Claude glanced at Penelope,
'I don't want it'
He simply thought.

"Thankyou, mother.."
Claude sighed and bow down.

"Goodboy, now, why don't you guys play while I visited Anastacius"
Her majesty left the room.

Claude and Penelope starred at eachother.

"Claude!"
Penelope called and smiled widely.
"I will always be there for you!"
She smiled.

Claude glanced to Penelope's eyes.
She seemed honest about this, maybe because she's only a child.
"Penelope, i-"

"I DON'T WANNA!"
Somebody cried from outside the door,
Claude flinched a bit.
"I DON'T WANNA GO THERE!"
It cried again.

'A girl?..'
Claude asked herself,
Her voice was so loud, he soon can hear her being beaten up.
He peeks from the keyhole and see a blonde hair crying, and covering her face with her hands.

"Listen here you little brat, i'm trying to bring you to a better life! Why won't you just come!"
A man scolded her.

Claude eyes widened.
"Whats the matter?"
Claude opened the door and asked, coldly.

"A-ah.. your highness.. prince Claude.. sorry for disturbing.."
The man nervously apologize.

"If you make a noise again, you'll die"
Claude slammed the door.

He looks so pissed by Claude, so he ended up carrying the girl instead, but she bite him so she can run.

"Who's that?.."
Penelope asked, looking scared.

"I don't know.. prolly a duke since he didn't apologize with respect.."
Claude sighed and lay in the sofa,
"And.. a girl?.."
He murmured.

"Oh"
Penelope replied.
"Wahh.. isn't the weather pretty today? Your highness?"
Penelope pointed out the window and smiled.
"Let's walk on the garden!"

Claude ending up aggreeing with Penelope to walk on the garden.
Penelope walked behind him and Claude completely ignoring her since he didn't knew what to tell her.

"Your highness.."
Penelope called out.
"Look at this yellow flower!"
She pointed out at a flower she didn't knew the name.

"Those are yellow carnations"
Claude said.
"It is pretty, but not as pretty as the meaning.."

Penelope glanced to Claude,
"What do you mean?"

"Nevermind, let's walk again."
He said and go.
'I ever saw brother received a yellow carnation from a girl before.. his face looks so sad.. if i'm not mistaken.. it means rejection or disapointment..'
He looks down
'But who send it..'

"Brakk!!"
Claude was crashed by something.
Not something, but someone.

"Your highness?! Are you okay?!"
Penelope asked and tried to get a grip on Claude,
Before she did it, the other person helps him first.

"I-i'm sorry"
She cried, more like in fear.

"It's fine.."
Claude sighed.
Claude glanced to the girl who crashed him, it was the same girl who cried from earlier.
"W-who are you?.."

Instead of answering, she starred at Claude, and then his legs,
"You're Claude, aren't you?"

"There she is!"
A man yelled and grab her hair.

"N-no!"
She screamed.

"I'm sorrt for her behaviours, your highness.."
The same man from before apologizes and bow down.

"Who is she?"
Claude asked.

"Ah.. she's nobody.. haha.. don't worry.."
The man chuckles,
"We'll take our leave"
He walked away with that girl.

Claude can feel her pain, specially when he's dragging her by the hair, and the girl was just struggling to ran away.

"What a disrespectful girl!"
Penelope pouted, she pats off the dust from Claude's clothes.

"It's okay, penelope"
Claude grabs penelope's hand to stop her from cleaning his clothes.
He just dislike it when people think he's useless, or weak.
"I can clean it all by myself.."
