Chapte 2 The birthday party

"We have arrived" The driver informed his master as he parked the car. The man hummed in reply and got out of the car.

"Kye" he called his assistant.

"Yes sir, what is it?" the assistant immediate response came out of nowhere.

"Take the present and come inside." He ordered and begun his stride towards the grand party venue.

It was only the birthday of a fourteen years old girl, but it was impressively grand. The man smiled, satisfied with it. He was delighted, since he was going to see his beloved sister after such a long time.

He was in front of the doors by now, and as they started to open, the people in the hall gasped, shocked to see such a famous man right there. In the hall rose an annoying murmur, full of laughter and words, but he couldn't care less.

"Isn't he the infamous young master?" A lady whispered to her friend. "I think so, but wasn't he abroad?" The other retorted.

"Wow, he is so handsome!"

"Yes yes!! I heard he is a genius as well!" A girl excitedly replied. They were excited to see this handsome man who seemed to have caught everyone's attention.

"Who is he?" asked a boy, jealous of all the praises the man was getting. The person standing beside the boy shot him a weird look "You don't know who that man is?" he asked mockingly 

"No, am I supposed to know him?" questioned the boy with a grimace.

"Obviously. He is the brother of the birthday girl who just came back from abroad it seems."

"Is that so? But why is he so famous?" as he asked that, a woman next to him leaned in and answered "It's because of how astonishing he is! He is intelligent, handsome, smart, rich! He's the man every girl would crave for"

The guy was weirded out by the sudden appearance of the woman, while she paid no mind to his reaction and kept talking. "He was sent abroad for further learning, but he always visits when it's his sister's birthday! They say that he is a big sis-con! Can you believe it? like, he looks so cold!"

"Okay... so what's his name?" The guy asked, he didn't want to question any further.

"His name is Lancelot Idris!" the woman answered cheerfully.

"Well, I have to go now. It's already this late" She spoke checking the time; it was already 10 pm. The birthday party started at 6 most, so most guests were also preparing to leave.

Lancelot would have came at an earlier hour, if it wasn't for him hating crowds and his need to buy a gift. He was just hoping that his sister wouldn't be mad at him.

It had been a lot of months since Lancelot saw his sister, so he was really thrilled. He really was a sis-con. He loved his sister the most, and would always find time on her birthday or events like that to come and visit her.

As he was on his way someone came and interrupted him. "Hey Lance!" A guy was waving while coming towards him. It was Lancelot's friend Chase Rosario.

"I knew you would be here!" Chase smiled radiantly, seeing his friend's cold face again after months.

"As always, you didn't even inform us of your visit!" he spoke while fake sulking.

"Stop faking it, I didn't come to see this. Besides, I just arrived here and why should I bother? You knew I was coming anyway" Lance shrugged, seeing Chase as a bother as always.

"Yeah....and I heard you bought the doll as a gift!" Chase was sure that Lance would definitely come for his sister's birthday, and he remembered his dad calling him and complaining about Lance, saying he barged into the auction house and took the doll.

"Anyway, where is my sister?" Lance asked, since he couldn't see her anywhere.

"Stella? Well, she's in her room but..." Chase spoke turning quiet at the end of the sentence, lowering his head like he was reluctant to say something.

"What is it?" Lance darkened, as he was quite protective when it came to his sister.

"Calm down, it's not something bad.." Chase said, trying to calm him.

"Where is she?" Lance asked demandingly.

"Well.." Chase looked away troubled, trying to find help, but he got none 'I'm so lonely' he sorrowfully thought to himself.

"She's in her room, but I don't think you should give her a doll as a birthday gift" Chase tried to warn his friend.

"Why? What happened?"

"I don't know, ask your sis! Bye!" Chase quickly said, running away.

Lance thought about it for a while, and went to his sisters room. The door was half open and a gloomy aura was coming out of it. Lance hurriedly opened the door and found his sister curled into a ball at the corner on the bed, she seemed sad.

"Stella are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"big brother!" she was so happy to hear her brother's voice that she almost jumped on him.

"Big brother, why are you so late?" she spoke while pouting.

"Happy birthday! And sorry about that baby. Why are you sad? did something happen?"

"Thank you and No.. it's nothing like that.." she spoke, looking down trying to think what to say.

"it's just that... Everyone is treating me like a child! I don't like it! I'm fully grown up!" she braced herself shouting.

"Oh.." Lance didn't know what to reply, so he asked "Why do you think everyone is treating you like a child?"

The girl bit her lip and said "well, they... first it's my birthday dress! It's all pink and It's a princess dress like a child's! Second, the gifts! they are all what a child would receive! Toys, dolls... Glitters and fake bows! Everything! Then all the people, they all look and speak to me like I'm a child, why?" she trembled as she spoke and started crying.

Lance was startled, 'but you are throwing a tantrum like a child would' he thought. He had no idea on how console a child, so he said "Well it's because you haven't proved that you are a big girl! you have to prove it! But first, I'm so hungry! I came from far away and I have yet to eat, did you make me something by any chance?" Lance asked expectantly. Whenever he came back, his sister would make something delicious for him to eat.

Stella was not convinced yet, but she nodded anyway, considering that her brother should have been tired.

The girl happily showed her big brother the dishes she made, and he kept complimenting her, making her happier. 

In the end she was smiling satisfied, humming happily.

Lance sighed as his sister seemed to be returned in a good mood. 'kids are so hard to take care of' he thought tiredly.

On the other side, poor Kyle was holding the Casket, in which the doll was. He felt sad for it when he remembered what his master just said "Don't give the doll to Stella. I want you to send some people to buy the most exquisite jewelry that you think would suit my sister's taste" 

Kyle didn't know what to do with the Doll, so he decided to send it to his master's house since it was really expensive. 

Because it was getting too was late, Lance sent his sister to sleep and took off to his home.
