Reincarnated in another world as twins

The Five Year Ceremony........

So you still have a soft spot for Allen huh. Sighed Ray as he thought how good natured a person Garrick turned out to be even though his face looks so ferocious.

...............................

Reind thinking about Ray and Allen he could not help but smile heartily as he followed the priest to the ceremony hall he saw a man in his sixties standing with a young man on the hallway. Both of them having the same eyes as him. As he strided towards the man his eyes became narrow, his smile disappeared into thin air and atmosphere around him became tensed. His mood a little agitated.

The man turned and saw Reind walking towards him, he came into a abrupt halt. "Reind, what are you doing here?" Said the old man with a calm voice, his expression relaxed.

But Reind passed the old without saying a word or batting an eye. The man turned around a little irritated as if he wanted to say something but as he saw him walking away without looking back he backed off without saying anything.

"Grandfather! Who is he? Do you know him?" asked the boy as he looked at the back of the man walking away.

"Eh! Ah......yes, but it's not important right now let's go to the ceremony hall." Said the old man, alarmed because of the sudden questions.

"Yes." Said the boy as they started walking towards the hall slowly.

"Lilian, what is that man doing here?" He asked pissed his tone cold, his brow furrowed and eyes full of anger and frustration as he cleched his fist.

Lilian hesitated a bit and opened, "Reind-sama, it seems they too will attend today's ceremony." Hearing that Reind came to an abrupt halt and glared at him. The priest who was leading the way too stopped at his place waiting for Reind.

"Reind-sama, please calm yourself. I don't think they have intention to harm Ray-sama and Allen-sama." He tried to calm the man down.

"I know but make sure he stays away from them. Tch. And today was supposed to be a joyous event." Reind clicked his teeth as he started walking again. "Lilian, attend the ceremony with me."

"But how I can possibly attend the ceremony."

"You are already like a parent to them. Melinda can't come today so they are a little sad but if you are there I'm sure they will be happy. You are family after all."

The man hearing those words stood dumbstruck for sometime. And tried to refuse the offer but got cut short inbetween as Reind said in an intimidating tone, "This is an order, attend the ceremony."  He sighed and reluctantly obeyed the command of his master.

Ivy, Paige, Allen, Ray and Garrick were standing in a semi circle talking when they approached by a kid. "Are you Ray and Allen?" The kid asked shyly his ears red from nervousness.

Ray and Allen nodded yes in response. Cute. Both the boys thought as he saw blushing boy. The boy was slim but plump his unkempy brown hair gave him a little ferocious look but his white skin, big red cherry like eyes and pink thin lips made him look like a kitten.

The boy looked up at them with his big eyes, "Allard was right you look so cute. I was able to distinguish you from crowd so easily. He told me about how you bravely confronted some thugs inorder to protect some kids." He admired the twins as he looked up in their eyes. "He told me you are both really nice. Um... my name......is.....um....Ambert....so.......if.." he fumbled nervously as he spoke. He took a deep breath and blurted out in one breath, "Will you please be my friend?"

The boys looked at the boy whose face was flushed red as he blushed. They looked at each other from the corner of their eyes as if to say you answer him. Thus, stare competition ensued between them. In the end Ray won and Allen had to fight the urge to hug the young boy and said "of course." softly with a bright smile.

"Um......if I'm not wrong you said Allard right. How do you know him?" Inquired Ray as stated at the boy startling him a little.

"Eh.....ah.....you see he is my older brother." He said blushing as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Wait a minute, you are a prince?" Scrutinized Allen. The boy nodded in response as he blushed nervously.

Ivy grasped in suprise and lowered her head thinking she might offend Ambert. But seeing her reaction he frawned a little as his expression changed to a depressed one. Ray tapped on the girl's shoulder to make her raise her head. The looked at Ray who signalled her to look at the prince's face through her eyes.

She looked sideways to take a quick glance at him and found a sad boy, she immediately realised her foolishness but the damage has been done. Garrick tapped  Ambert's should as he said, "My name is Garrick. Nice to meet you." After him one after another everyone introduced themselves and lastly it was the prince's turn, "Um....my name is Ambert Lucian Felicia. Nice to meet you."

As they were all busy with their business a girl at the other side of the crowd who had the same brown hair and red eyes as Ambert watched them and sneered, "That good for nothing is making friends who are the same as him. Well, they all will be as stupid as him." She looked at the group and spotted a long haired boy who looked like a girl smiling. She suddenly felt a thump in her heart.

As some were busy chatting and some anxious about the ceremony, all fell silent when a priest came and announced, "Everyone please come forward as we call your name and form a line." Some more priest came forward. Each with a list in their hand and began calling out names. The first one which was announced was of Paige.
