But now, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were already old enough for kindergarten.“Time does fly,” Xyla Quest sighed.Stanley Batton tilted his head while gazing tenderly at his wife and kids. “Yeah, it does.”“You two have to be good at kindergarten, okay?” she told them as she gently ruffled their hair. “Don’t say too much about our family, especially not who your parents are, understood?“It's for your safety,” she added.The twins instantly nodded. They were clever and obedient despite their tender age. They would act as their mother had instructed.Fortunately, they had never rebelled against her and always took anything she said to heart.Their obedience made her heart melt once again. “You’re such good kids.”Stanley looked at them tenderly. “Daddy and Mommy are only doing this for your good. You’ll understand once you are older.”Lynette blinked. “I understand it's for our protection. We’ll do whatever you tell us to, Daddy and Mommy, knowing you only have our best i

After Lynette Batton fell asleep, Leon Baton carefully placed her head on her pillow. Then, he picked up another one for himself and settled down next to his sister.It was peaceful and quiet outside the window.The warm summer night had a sky full of stars accompanied by the sound of singing cicadas. Fireflies danced in clusters now and then. It was a wonderful sight to behold.The twins slept soundly in their warm and luxurious room.Everything seemed so serene.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton checked in on them later that evening and witnessed this scene.They couldn’t help but smile in contentment as they sat by their bed to watch them for a while.They felt blessed to have such amazing kids who seldom caused trouble or worried them needlessly.***Leon and Lynette were accepted into the prestigious Phaeton Kindergarten soon after Xyla signed them up.The children also had brand-new identities as a cover story to protect their privacy. Their parents were supposed to be th

If Lynette Batton was too young to understand, then was Leon Batton old enough, considering they were both twins?He was born only slightly earlier than his little sister.Xyla Quest chuckled with a helpless gaze at her son. “You’re speaking as if you’re much older.”“I may not be a lot older, I’m still her older brother. I have to be the mature one,” Leon replied.Stanley Batton nodded before looking at his daughter. “From now on, you mustn’t let anyone kiss you other than Daddy, Mommy, Leon, our close friends, and relatives, understood?“Especially not boys,” he hastily added with a stern expression.Lynette didn’t understand why her father said that, but she still nodded obediently.“Okay, I’ll remember that,” she agreed before tugging at her brother's hand. “Leon, don’t be angry. I understand now.”“Silly girl. You need to learn how to protect yourself sometimes,” he advised her. His words made him sound even more mature, not like that was surprising to his parents. She

Meanwhile, Lynette Batton kept her head down as she wept in the office of Phaeton Kindergarten’s principal.Leon Batton stood in front of her protectively while a group of adults surrounded them. The principal, three teachers, both parents of the boy in question, and the royal family's bodyguards were in the office.There were glaring at the twins with cold, harsh looks.Meanwhile, the arrogant boy with whom they had a conflict sat on a nearby chair as he glowered at Leon defiantly.Soon, their nanny, Shanice, walked in and hastily pulled the twins behind her in a protective stance.“Hey kids, aren’t you going to apologize? Do you want to be kicked out?" the boy's father sneered menacingly before issuing more threats.“Mark my words. If you don’t apologize, not only will I see to it that you're both kicked out, but your parents will also be in big trouble.“I won’t let anyone in your family off the hook,” he yelled as he pointed his forefinger at them.Leon returned his angry

The man’s wife also began to speak then, but Leon Batton ignored her, silently waiting for someone from his family to arrive.“What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to say anything? Are you afraid? I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and apologize. After that, go ahead and lick my son’s shoe. Perhaps I'll spare some of your family members who would be arriving later," the man added.His words grew harsher each time he spoke, intentionally challenging Leon and Lynette Batton’s limits.Lynette began to laugh as well, gazing at the adult bully with slightly reddened eyes. “If you’re smart, you should kneel and apologize to us instead. Then, when my family arrives, I will consider asking them to forgive you.“This opportunity won’t come knocking twice. I promise you will regret it later,” she added.“Exactly,” her brother interjected.Their words seemed to amuse the man further as he started laughing helplessly. “Haha! You sure are brave. Are you trying to intimidate me? Did you reall
