Mephone4 Fortin & Mephone4s Fortin Princes Of Kingdom Northen Light Meeple , Son of Steve cobs fortin , nine turning ten years old although they are young they age slowly , the two were young kids they were already teached how to fight and learn how to rule a kingdom forcing knowledge into their little young minds the two were in the castle library reading some boring books about sword fighting or how to rule a kingdom or history about the kingdom whatever books that their father forced them to read despite their complaints they both know what will happen if they refuse to , it was 7:28 am the twins always had to wake up early either 5 or 6 am in the morning the twins have been reading for a hour , the maids and guards of the castle were strictly told to ignore the twins unless its doing basic schooling or other stuff like if they ask they wanna eat leaving the twins only have each other company's although the only person who worked for their father , ballpoint pen lambert he's their father courtier whenever ballpoint pen had the chance he would hang out with the twins and actually treat them like his own children since their father was always too busy with kingdom shenanigans even if he wasn't the only time their father spend time with them if it was to force them to learn something like sword fighting or whenever they're gonna get punished for not doing exactly what he said

the twins were in the middle of the library book shelves surrounding them in a circle they were reading a book on a circle table on the floor as mephone groaned in annoyance "ughhhhh, when will this torture ends!" mephone complained as his twin-brother 4s looked at him unamused he always does this whenever they're forced to read something "oh shut up blue you always complain about everything" 4s continued reading his book about fighting mephone gave 4s a quick glance as he sighed in annoyance "come on red! all we ever do in this damn stupid castle is just read read then practise and repeat! yea i know sometimes we get our free time but still! its no fair!" mephone shuts his book as he leaned back on his chair with a annoyed expression as 4s sighed and looked at his brother "fine then, don't read and you'll get a beating from dad if one of the maids caught you not reading!" 4s scolded his brother "well are they here? no! plus they're probably too busy preparing for whatever dad told them to prepare for" mephone looked up at the ceiling looking at the chandelier as he looked back at his brother "come on, were not even allowed to go outside! only in garden! were stuck forever in these stupid brick walls!" mephone complained as 4s puts down his pitch black shades that mephone tried to steal from ballpoint pen once but ballpoint pen caught him instead of telling his father ballpoint pen found it funny and gave it to mephone since mephone told him he thought 4s would like it as his birthday gift as he started to remember that time making mephone chuckle

he remembered running thru the halls of the castle luckily no maids or guards scolding him as he suddenly got pulled by his shirt and almost slipped and fell as he looked to see a tall brunet wearing a classic circle golden glasses it was ballpoint pen as mephone nervously chuckled holding the pitch black shades he stole from ballpoint pen's pocket earlier mephone was overthinking already regretting stealing the shades now ballpoint pen was gonna tell his father and his father will get mad and—- a chuckle snapped mephone out of his thoughts as he looked confused at ballpoint pen who gave him a reassuring warm smile as he puts mephone down back to his feet and patted his head "you know, you could just tell me you wanted it instead of stealing it from my pocket" ballpoint pen chuckled as mephone quickly apologized before ballpoint pen suddenly cutted him off "hey hey— its alright don't worry you can have it" ballpoint pen smiled as mephone eyes widened in surprise , the 6 years old looking at him confused "you're not gonna tell father?" mephone asked with a worried tone "of course not don't worry, take it as a early gift from me alright?" ballpoint pen reassured mephone as he ruffled mephone's dark blue hair as mephone smiled he felt safe with ballpoint pen "now go, you don't want the maids to see us and snitch on you don't you?" ballpoint pen chuckled as he gave mephone a quick hug as mephone smiled and quickly ran off , it was mephone4s's birthday the next day so once mephone returned to his and 4s's room he surprised him with the shades as a birthday gift and 4s always wore it ever since , cobs didn't bothered questioning where he got the shades since somehow always mephone or 4s had random stuff they find
