Death and reincarnation

Last thing I remember was sharp pain in my stomach. A knife just left my body and blood started dripping out. I heard voices around me, albeit very vaguely. The girl behid me, a classmate and girfriend of mine, was crying next to me… Crap, I’m dying right? I wanted… just to finish my date…

Next time around I will be greedy and will take all the goodies for myself… and girls too…

After that everything turned black and I was enveloped by darkness. I couldn’t see anything, but one I knew for sure. The pain was gone and coldness was replaced with warmness.

I didn’t know how long I was out, but time still flew by and with that a light appeared once again.

„Congratulation madam, it’s a boy,“ voice of elderly woman woke me up, but I couldn’t speak. Eyes hurt me so I kept them close.

„Huuuh… let me… see him…“

„Of course.“

I felt weird warmness again, but it was nice so I smiled happily.

„Madam! He’s smiling! That’s sign of good fortune for sure!“ the elderly woman spoke again.

„Yess… my little boy… My Leo, Leo Netrose. Welcome to our family Leo.“

After that I slept for quite some time only to woke up to be feeded and sleep again. And before I knew it a year passed, during this time I didn't learn anything important, I was sleeping for most of the time. With that, another year has passed. After all this time I was sure that I must've been reborn like in novels.

My father always works so I don’t get to see him very often, but my brothers and sisters came from time to time to look at me and to talk with mother, who spends most of her time with me.

I’m third son of Duke family, with the oldest son, brother Gavin, being heir of the family, he seems to be serious kind of person, but when I grabbed his finger and smiled he blushed, which resulted in teasing from Hina, his younger twin sister.
Second son, Noel is slightly plain looking, but his smile could break girls hearts I’m sure. Lastly second sister Eru is probably the cutest of my siblings and after her is my two years older sister Mina, she isn’t as cute as Eru, but she deffinetly will steal hearts of boys in the future.

Interesting thing is also that half of my siblings have bluish black hair, while the other half have brown hair like mother. Also, while I am the youngest, there isn’t that big differenge in age between us, Gavin and Hina are 14, Noel is 9, Eru is 7 and as I said before Mina is 4. I'm the youngest and I'm two years old.

My mother is beautiful woman and is quite fond of her children as I could see.

„So lil bro is like dad,“ Eru said with smile.

„But he smiles completly differently,“ Hina said.

„But he’s cute like mommy,“ Mina said and poke my cheek with a smile.

„Uuu,“ I tried to get her finger of my face. I could crawl around and my voice was still broken, but I could deliver some sounds.

„Okay, okay. Keep it together everyone. Your father have birthday today, we have to give him warm welcome when he comes home from work today,“ said mother who came to pick me up, now changed to new clothes,

„Yes!“ my siblings said in union.

My mom in head of my siblings with me in her arms set out for entry of the mansion we lived in. It looked like normal mansion you could see in historical hearts of Europe, but for me it was all new as I could see these only in pictures in my last life.

My siblings lined up next to our mom before mansion and some servants were neatly lined on staircase behind us. Almost like on sign a carriage appeared in gates and two horses run towards us.

The carrage stopped before us and a servant quickly jumped from coachman seat to open the doors. And father climb down from the carrage.

„Welcome home dear.“

„Welcome home father.“

„Welcome home master.“

„It’s good to be home,“ father said and kissed mother on forehead. Then patted every single of my siblings on their head. I also recieved a slight head pat and felt the warm hand of my father.

We headed to dinerhall and had a feast, where I only got some fruit purée, which was blue for some reason. Everyone was celebrating fathers birthday and I started crawling to him. When I was next to him, without anyone noticing me I grabbed his pants and used them to stand up.

„Oh? What is it Leo?“ father smiled and patted my head.

I looked at him, stright to his eyes. „Pa…pa… Papa.“

„Heh?“ servants exclaimed in unison.

„Leo spoke!“ Hina droped her spoon and everyones eyes were glued to me.

„Papa.“

Father froze. But not completly. Now he was crying.

„H-he said papa… He said PAPA!“

He grabbed me and hugged me, still crying.

„Good for you Dear,“ mom smiled.

In later years I found out that I was first of my siblings who’s first words were that to father.
