"Living with you in the academy?" to say that she was shocked would be an understatement.
Not only did it mean that Renee was going to live as a boy but her brother had never been a kind person.
He never helped others. Even when it comes to her. He had never helped her in hiding her secret but only saved her life when she was about to die.
That cold hearted brother would help Renee in hiding her secret. And the way he was looking coldly at her, he looked scary!
She took a step back unconsciously.
Albus finally took his eyes away from her and turned back to look at Renee with a warm smile. The smile was so blinding that Alice rubbed her eyes before looking at her brother again but the smile on his face did not fade away.
"Are you ready to go with me?" he asking in a soft and velvety voice that Alice wanted to shout he was a sham.
But the cold eyes left a shiver run down her spine.
"Thank you!" she said as she nodded her head.
"But do I need to leave this urgently?" she had not even wished goodbye to her family. Only yesterday, they celebrated her fourth birthday.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
She was just a kid in their eyes.
"Of course not. Admission and other procedures would take time. I am only asking you if you are ready to leave so that I can start the process.
I need to get your false identity card too." Alice frowned. As far as she remembered, the academy did not let others live outside the moment you applied for there.
They had strict rules or her brother was talking about a place she did not know about?
"Oh! Is that so." she took a breath of relief and smiled. "Then I have to ask for help again." She took out the papers her father had asked to prepare and passed them to him.
He scanned the papers with sharp eyes and then nodded his head.
"Yes, this much will do. Then i will come back on the next monday." he said when she nodded her head and smiled.
He nodded back and left from another portal when Renee sighed. For a minute she was afraid that she was going to leave for a long time without saying goodbye.
When she turned, she noticed that Alice was staring at an empty space for long and furrowed her brows.
She snapped her fingers in front of Alice who blinked and then stared at Renee as if she was a ghost.
"What happened?" she asked with confusion when Alice shook her head.
She had seen the eyes of her brother when he was leaving. They were full of warnings. She did not dare to go against him.
"Nothing.. I was just thinking how life would be without you." she said covering her expressions when Renee laughed.
"Why? I thought that you would be happy that Sam would not look at me anymore." she said with raised brows when Alice's face turned red.
"What.. what are you talking about?" Though Renee was only four, she had lived a lifetime so she had seen a lot of lovers and knew how Alice tried to gain the attention of Same every time even if she teased or bullied the young boy.
Too bad! He did not realize it.
"It would be better that you treat him nicely and offer a few treats or he would never notice your intentions but only remember how you have tormented him." she explained when Alice looked away.
"There is nothing like that!" she emphasized when Renee laughed but nodded her head.
They were still kids. She did not want to force her views on them.
After some time, she chuckled when the face of Alice burnt and she walked away in a huff.
Renee followed her too. She had already thought of a perfect excuse. She was going to the summer house for her training.
That was to be told to all the maids. Only her family would know where she was.
As she walked out she saw Nathan making drawings but it was nothing but strange lines and dots.
"Look what I have made!" he exclaimed when he looked at her, "it is you and me." he pointed at two large dots.
Renee would have teased him but this time, she nodded her head and accepted it gladly, surprising him but he smirked with a proud look on his face in the end.
"My lady, Lady Freya, has arrived." Renee nodded. She had called Freya since she was the only one who had helped her in standing up so far.
Freya stood up and bowed her head in front of her.
"I was not expecting you to call me just after the day of your birthday party when you told me that you wanted to take a break." the woman smiled with joy.
She had never thought that she would enjoy running a boutique for a kid than working at the information guild which could provide her more thrill and better career.
"Yes, I had thought so too but I need to go out of the capital for sometime. I wanted to know if there is anything you will need in my absence?" The words surprised the woman.
"Where are you going princess?" she asked with surprise when Renee smiled.
"Aah, I have been thinking of seeing the world. Now that my family is complete and I have fulfilled the dream of opening a business too. I want to enjoy my childhood." the woman though still shocked, looked happy for the child
She had suffered a lot even as a princess. Or else why would a princess need to worry about such things.
"Oh! That is a good choice. I hope that you will enjoy it a lot. And see the world and when you come back, we will start another venture. I will prepare the details for you."
