Time passed. Everyone had returned to Lazavis except Victor and Virena. They both stayed there because of their duties as leaders of Joltam.
The presence of many griffons as the Altavis family's combat forces also caused a stir throughout the Altavis region. Similarly, Selena's future husband, who was an elf, also became a topic of conversation among everyone in Lazavis city.
"I'll miss Sis Virena's teasing again. This palace feels so empty."
"Do you think you're the only one who feels that way? The five of us have always been together since childhood. But, this is life! Sooner or later, we all have to live our own lives!"
"Yeah, I know, Brother Davin. By the way, can I sit on your lap?"
"Huh? Why are you asking me such a ridiculous thing?"
"Just for my own satisfaction! You don't mind, right?"
Davin couldn't bear to disappoint his brother and he allowed it. As he sat on his lap, he hugged Davin very tightly.
"Your hug is so tight! What's wrong with you?"
"Someday, this is what I really miss about all of you. Please let me enjoy this moment a little longer."
Davin understood perfectly what was going through his little brother's mind right now.
He would live forever. My cute little brother must be very depressed by the reality that always weighed on his mind. That in the future we would all be gone, leaving him alone.
Davin returned his little brother's hug tightly.
"Hey Kazien, do you want to take a bath with me?"
"Take a bath with you? Why not? Let's go!"
A few moments later, Kazien and Davin were in the bathroom and soaking in the tub together. Kazien sat back on Davin's lap. He hugged his brother's body very tightly.
"Why didn't you ever ask me for this? If you wanted to be pampered by me, I would definitely be happy to do it for you."
"I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you!"
"I'm afraid that I'll like you then! That's why I kept my distance and didn't ask anything from you!"
Hearing his little brother's answer, Davin laughed. But Kazien ignored his loud laughter and continued to hug him tightly.
"Has my face ever charmed you?"
"Not just your face! But the truth, your attitude and personality have also charmed me!"
"When you said you wanted to marry a man, I asked if you liked me. But at that time, Sis Virena immediately threatened me not to have any feelings for you!"
Kazien released his hug and looked at his brother's handsome face.
"Are you serious? Do you also have feelings for me?"
"I guess so! But for now, I already have a future wife that you have chosen. I will live with her until the end of my life."
"Why didn't you tell me? Why?"
His voice was trembling with disappointment and regret. Davin realized it and didn't want to hurt his beloved brother.
"Because you're my brother! I don't want to ruin the bond of brotherhood between us."
Kazien hit his chest repeatedly while saying: "You're really stupid! You're the worst brother!"
Davin only replied to his words with a laugh.
"Kazien, focus on making Alvin happy! After all, he's the one you've chosen! I'll never forgive you if you dare to hurt him!"
"You don't even need to say it, I'll definitely do it!"
Mwah!
Davin kissed his lips. Kazien widened his eyes when Davin's soft lips were on his. But he didn't want to break the kiss and chose to close his eyes.
When the kiss was broken, Davin looked at Kazien's face. He was shocked when he saw his brother's red face.
Damn! I lost control and made him like this!
"You really are the worst brother! You stole my first kiss!"
Davin was silent, unable to answer his words. Feelings of guilt and fear were always raging in his heart. He was afraid that Kazien would act awkwardly towards him.
"I apologize for being so bold in kissing you. I lost control when I saw your face. Please don't act awkward because of what happened-"
Thud!
A heavy blow had hit his chest.
"I love you so much! How could I act awkward towards you just because of your kiss!"
Davin felt relieved when he knew that Kazien wasn't angry with him because of the kiss. But at the same time, he also felt guilty towards Alvin who had stolen his first kiss.
He hugged Kazien then leaned his back against the edge of the tub. Kazien rested his head on his brother's chest. However…
"Kazien, why is your penis erect like that?"
"Shut up and don't say anything about it if your penis is erect like mine!"
His hug got tighter. Kazien felt that the hug was getting stronger.
Did he feel what I was feeling right now? This hug seemed to say that he didn't want to be separated from me.
"Brother Davin, do you want to make an eternal contract with me?"
"Sorry Kazien, I have to refuse! Even though I love you, I don't want to make you betray Alvin. Just by kissing you earlier, I made you betray him! I'm sorry!"
"What else can I do? Everything has happened. I just need to be honest with him."
But I feel happy because you can tell me your feelings honestly. Kazien, I hope this can be the most beautiful memory that you can always remember in your eternal life.
"Brother, I love you so much."
That statement made Davin feel even more guilty towards him.
I can't imagine what it would be like if I died and left him who lives in eternity. Could Alvin comfort him?
"Kazien, if one day I'm no longer here, I hope you can be strong in facing my departure."
His eyes were teary. Kazien was reminded of the future that was certain to happen to him.
"I will give you my favorite clothes as a souvenir so you can always remember me."
His tears could no longer be held back. Kazien cried in his brother's arms. Davin could feel the warm tears dripping on his chest.
"Don't cry, Kazien."
"How can I not cry after realizing that in the future we will be separated by death? Sob."
Davin stroked his brother's head gently. He said: "I believe that you can get through it!"
"Why are you so sure like that?" Sniffle... Sniffle..."
"Because you are my cute little brother, my pride!"
The answer made Kazien cry even more uncontrollably. In his arms, Davin let his little brother cry so that the burden he always carried would disappear from his mind.
"UWAAAAA!!! Sob... Sob... UWAAAAA!!!!"
Until 15 minutes later, Kazien stopped crying. Because of crying too long, his eyes were swollen.
"Are you relieved?"
"A little relieved. After you got engaged and married, we couldn't be this close anymore."
Davin wanted to scream. However, as Kazien's older brother, he tried to hold back his sadness in front of his sad younger brother.
"Brother Davin?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you so much!"
Kazien smiled widely in front of Davin with his eyes swollen from crying too much.
"I love you too, Kazien."
The atmosphere that was initially filled with sadness, now changed to be filled with the sound of their loud laughter.
Brother Davin, Thank you for saying that you love me. Even though I can't have you, at least I am very happy to be your proud little brother.
In the bathroom, the two of them continued to enjoy the moment together that they might never be able to experience again in the future.
Once finished bathing, they both went to the dining room and gathered with all the members of the family. Davin and Kazien looked much closer than before. They also did not hesitate to feed each other.
"You two are much closer than before. What happened?" Duchess Larina asked in surprise.
"We just wanted to enjoy a moment that will never be repeated again in the future."
"Brother Davin is right! After my siblings get married, we will all live our own lives and it will be impossible for me to experience moments like this again."
Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina understood their intentions very well. Alvin also understood Kazien's feelings.
Kazien, you must be very stressed because of your immortality. As a mother, I can understand your feelings. Even though you are laughing happily, but inside you are screaming.
Life is sometimes painful. But, this is life! I believe that in the future, you will definitely be able to get through it. You will not be alone because Alvin will always be by your side and accompany you forever.
