Reversal

Chapter 14 Emperor



"No, I heard right... You called me a fool"

Christian smiled, slowly getting up from the bed, to stay kneeling on it, as he watched his sister beneath him with a big grin.

"Looks like I have to command respect as a big brother"

He slowly moved his hands to the sides of Hailie's stomach, causing Hailie's eyes to widen in panic.

"No, please!"

Hailie pleaded, slowly crawling backward, pretending to get as far away from the monster on top of her as possible.

"Hehe~"

Smirked Christian, quickly grabbing his sister's stomach, as his fingers moved manically over her.

"Hahahahahahahaha~"

Laughing out loud, Hailie writhed all over the bed, trying with all her might to expel the beautiful monster on top of her.

"Brother, Hahahahahahahaha~ Please stop!!!"

She screamed with tears escaping from her eyes, trying to free herself from Christian's vicious grip, but unfortunately unsuccessfully, ending a torture of about 5 minutes.

"Did you learn your lesson?"

Christian asked, momentarily releasing Hailie, as he looked at her with absolute seriousness.

"Yes!"

Hailie nodded quickly, taking the opportunity to quickly get off the bed, but not taking her eyes off the evil man.

"Good."

Smiled Christian softly, leaning back on the bed wearily.

(My whole body hurts...) Christian wailed (Ever since I spit blood, for some reason, I started to ache all over... but what hurts the most is my heart... I feel like it's tearing me apart...)

"Am I sick?"

Christian whispers, slowly raising his shaking hand.

(But I don't remember anything like this... It's the first time it's happened to me...) He smiled bitterly (It's ok... It's just a body ache, I've suffered worse...)

*Clank*

There was the sound of the bathroom door closing, causing Christian to turn his head, meeting the sight of his brother Alan in his mother's arms, looking at him with reddened eyes and still shaking.

"Ready!"

Eva exclaimed with a tired smile, pulling her youngest son towards Christian.

"Anything to tell your brother?"

Eva asked, sitting down next to Christian.

"Yes..." Christian nodded, slowly sitting up in bed, as he looked down at the crying little boy "I'm sorry I scared you, I was just playing..."

"See?" whispered Eva with a smile, pinching Alan's chubby cheeks with her fingers "Your brother just wanted to play with you, he didn't want to upset you"

"But Mom I *sniff* don't want to play that!" Alan exclaimed through his tears, as he wiped the tears leaking from his eyes with his clothes.

"What did we talk about in the bathroom?"

Eva asked with a frown, looking sternly at Alan.

"Yes, Mom..." Alan nodded reluctantly, then turned to Christian, with clear anger in his gaze "I didn't mean to call you a demon... but you're scary!"

"Alan!"

Eva exclaimed angrily.

"Yes!" nodded Alan quickly, looking at Christian with aggravation "You're not scary..."

"Good" smiled Eva, lifting Christian with her free arm, then sitting him on her right leg, next to Alan "You're my little princes, you have to learn to take care of each other!"

"I'm the good prince!" Alan exclaimed quickly, instantly changing his sad look to a cheerful one while looking at Christian with a haughty air.

"I don't care... I'd rather be the emperor" smiled Christian, snuggling gently into his mother's chest.

Cocking his head to one side, Alan asks with confusion "What's an emperor?".

"You're a prince, son of a queen, right?" asks Christian with a small smile, instantly receiving confirmation from Alan "The emperor is the king of queens, who rules over all queens and kings."

Quickly shaking his head, Alan replies "You can't be an emperor!"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to!"

"I don't care, I'm emperor and your prince, respect me!"

"I said you can't!"

"You're just a prince, you can't tell me what to do!"

"You're not an emperor!"

"Don't tell me what I have to do little prince, because if you bother me, I can force you to marry the evil princess!"

"N-no!"

"Yes!"

"M-mom!" exclaimed Alan in tears, as he turned to Eva "Tell him he can't be emperor!".

"Hahaha~" Eva laughed, then looked at Alan with a conflicted expression "But Alan, your brother can be anything he wants..."

"But mom!" exclaimed Alan in fright "He wants me to marry the evil princess!"

"..." Eva merely looked at him with an amused smile, then turned her gaze to Christian "Christian, don't marry your brother to the evil princess!".

"Fine... then I'll marry you to the ugly princess"

Smiled Christian slightly, watching his brother's horrified face in amusement.

"Mom!"

Alan exclaimed fearfully, hugging Eva's arm tightly, which caused Eva to shake her head in amusement.

"Don't worry, I'll tell your brother to forgive you" Eva smiled softly, as she stroked Alan's head, then turned and looked at Christian "Could you forgive your brother?"

"Mmmm... fine, but he has to obey me" Christian nodded after a few seconds of false conflict.

"See, your brother won't let you marry the ugly princess, you just have to obey him" Eva nodded, turning her gaze to the aggrieved Alan.

"Well... thank you, brother" Alan nodded with teary eyes, no longer daring to look at Christian.

"And Hailie?"

Eve asked with a frown, looking around, noticing that her daughter was nowhere in sight.

"¿...?"

With hesitation, Christian looked up over his mother's shoulder, glancing around for his sister, noticing something that made him chuckle.

Climbing down from the bed, Christian made his way to the bed on the other side, as Eve looked at him in puzzlement.

"Hailieee~~ Where are you...?" Christian whispered in amusement, slowly approaching towards the pair of feet sticking out of the bed "Come out wherever you are, your cute brother wants to play with you~"

The feet under the bed shuddered, getting Eva to relax her frown, as a smile crept across her face.

"What do we have here..." Christian whispered, quickly grabbing both feet, only to pull them out forcefully, and come face to face with the nervous Hailie "I found you~"

"Please, no more tickling!" Hailie exclaimed, quickly bringing both hands to her stomach in defense, as she cautiously eyed the evil boy.

"My baby sister~" Smiled Christian creepily, as he gently caressed Hailie's face, making her shiver with nervousness "I wasn't going to tickle you, but since I see you insist..."

"No, wait...!" Hailie tried to stop him, but Christian was faster and attacked the sides of her ribs mercilessly "Hahahahaha~"

"Stop- Hahahahaha!"

"Hahaha~ please- Hahahaha!"

"M-mom- Hahaha~ help!"

Hailie pleaded with laughter, trying her best to get her brother off her back as small tears slipped down the rims of her beautiful eyes.

"Are you sure you don't want to be tickled anymore?"

Christian asked softly, staring into his sister's eyes.

"Ha~ Haa~"Hailie breathed heavily, looking up at the ceiling with misty eyes, only to quickly come back to her senses and nod frantically "Yes!".

"*Sigh* Too bad, I was having fun..." Christian whispered, slowly pulling his hands away "If you hide from me again, we'll play again Do you understand?"

"Mn!"

Hailie nodded even faster, quickly disentangling herself from her brother's grip, quickly picking herself up off the ground to run to her mother, as she hugged her free arm tightly, never taking her eyes off the little white-haired demon.

"It's only taken a day to tame these unruly little ones..."

Eva murmured with an amused expression.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Christian said as he put his hands to his stomach, looking at his mother with the most pitiful look he could form.

"It should be dinner time by now." nodded Eva, as she set her two stirrings down on the bed, as she got up to head to the kitchen, but on the way, she averted her gaze to the door, causing a frown to appear on her face "Where will that man be...?"

"*sigh* Priorities..." Eva muttered bitterly, as she opened a small box and took out a packet of rice from inside, while with her other hand she grabbed an empty pot in the corner, instantly refilling the little rice left in the bag, as her gaze drifted towards the box of eggs near the small kitchen "Fried egg rice, a delicacy..."

"So... How do you cook rice?" whispered Eva in confusion, looking dubiously at the pot she placed on the stove.

"Add some oil and turn on the fire, you have to fry the rice a little with the oil until the rice changes color a little, then add 2 cups of water for each cup of rice... with what you left in the pot, it should be 4 cups of boiled water... when the water is in the pot, add a little salt to your taste, I think a teaspoon will be enough" answered Christian with boredom, as he lay down on the bed.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Eva asked puzzled.

"I found it in a book"

Christian answered vaguely, as in his memory he remembered perfectly well how many times he burned rice in his old life, no doubt cooking was one of his biggest challenges to survive.

"How come you read so many things? I get bored reading magazines, I won't even talk about books..." muttered Eva quizzically, instantly following Christian's advice to boil water in an electric kettle.

"Mom, can I borrow your cell phone?"

Christian asked after a few minutes of boredom, while his siblings, already grabbed the TV for themselves.

"What for?"

Eva asked with a frown, stopping stirring the rice in the pot to turn to Christian.

"I'm bored, I want to find something to learn..."

"... Fine, but use it carefully"

Eva agreed after thinking for a few seconds, quickly pulling the cell phone out of her pocket to throw it on the bed.

"Mn!"

Christian nodded quickly, instantly taking the cell phone by his side as he looked at it curiously.

'Isn't this the Nokia N97' Christian thought inquisitively, carefully turning the mobile in his hands, instantly realizing that the brand name of the mobile is on the back 'Yes... it's from Nokia.'

(That means that not only the countries and religions are the same, apparently, the brand names are also still the same, even their models are the same) mused Christian with a strange smile (I always thought that watching those weird videos that YouTube recommended wouldn't do any good, but I still watched them out of boredom... who knew it would help me right now)

"Let's see..." Christian murmured, turning the cell phone around and then lifting the screen with his thumbs, causing it to show off its splendor.

The cell phone was curious to Christian, it had a touch screen, while a small QWERTY style keyboard was underneath the screen, something very novel for Christian, who knew about touch cell phones since his childhood, completely unaware of the experience of older cell phones, even his first cell phone was the iPhone 24.

"It's like a laptop" Christian smiled, while his face clearly showed how impressed he was "Let's see... Where's the internet?"

Sliding his finger over the screen, Christian began to operate the cell phone, quickly adapting to its handling, but with a clear dissatisfaction in him, which showed through his frown.

"This touch screen sucks..." Christian whispered in annoyance, pressing the screen again and again, but to no avail as he opened the small world icon.

"Why doesn't this shit work?" muttered Christian angrily, pressing the icon some more, so that after about 40 seconds, the app opened "*sigh* Finally..."

"Let's see... this is 2009, if I'm not mistaken, Eminem was uploading his albums to YouTube around this time..."

Directing his gaze for a moment to the keys, Christian searched for YouTube in the browser, finding it after a hellish 90 seconds, cursing more than once along the way.

"I could go crazy with this nasty internet..."

Christian whispered wearily, as his fingers navigated through YouTube's antiquated interface, carefully appreciating the number of videos displayed only at the start.
