Caleb

Loud noises, a hum, a lot of people, everything was elegant and beautiful: the ladies were in magnificent fluffy dresses, the gentlemen in formal suits! What was the reason? It's your birthday. Why "yours"? Because it's both yours and your brother's.

You and Caleb, your younger brothers, were of royal blood. You had birthdays today: you were born in different years, but on the same day! You've never liked it.

Everyone was drinking and having fun at the banquet, but you couldn't find your brother. After 20 minutes of searching, you decided to ignore his presence.

Taking a girl to dance, you were spinning in a waltz, but... In the distance, on the other side of the great hall, you saw Caleb at the window. He was aiming a slingshot at the girl. So that there would be no consequences, you danced the girl aside, glaring at your relative with a displeased look.

After the dance, you said goodbye to the girl, and you went to the balcony to watch and look for your brother. And you found it.

He sat swinging the slingshot from side to side. And oh well, he wasn't dressed according to the dress code! He had a white shirt, a black jacket, pants, but... they had several straps on them, maybe it was beautiful, but my father thought it was ridiculous. His short white hair was not styled, and his pinkish eyes looked at you playfully, as if smiling maliciously.

You came closer and asked:

"What are you doing?" My father will be furious.

He rolled his eyes and gave the answer.:

— Hello to you too, brother. When did we become so obedient?
