Chapter 79: Shopping With Katherine [2]



****

Amon exited from a carriage with Katherine in tow, who had Lily in her arms.

He paid the driver some Exlor and then looked forward.

They were at the City Centre now.

He looked back, finding Katherine rotating around her position to show Lily the whole view.

The girl herself had sparkles in her eyes as she looked at things she had never seen before.

She kept pointing at things while his sister politely explained what they were.

Removing his gaze, he looked ahead.

"Shall we go?" He asked, looking back at them.

Both of them nodded with exuberance.

Katherine had been teaching Lily for the past month so the latter was able to understand some simple sentences now.

The duo greeted the guards at the entrance and entered the City Centre.

The Centre was bustling with activity, with most people being the first years.

Clubs and Councils still hadn't been introduced for them so they were mostly free after classes, unlike third years or second years.

90% of them were devoted to clubs and councils hence why they were barely seen in shopping districts or the City Centre.

Even right now, 60% of the third and second years in the mall belonged to the Disciplinary Committee.

They were patrolling at regular intervals to prevent any fight from breaking out in the mall. Well, not like one did in the first place.

Fighting in the City Centre was a grave offence. The punishment enacted by Athena could not be fathomed so most people never fought.

Their fear of the Vice-Principal was enough for them to stop.

But the new first-years were unaware of this fact and so the Committee still had to be present here at all times.

Just for the sake of it.

Amon's case was special as it happened the day the first years were inaugurated, something that no one expected.

Stifling a sigh, he moved back to the present, where he noticed several stares being cast their way.

Or more accurately, at Katherine.

"Isn't that Miss Katherine, President of the Student Council?" Someone whispered.

"Yeah, she's also the strongest in her year." Someone followed.

"Who's that in her arms?"

"Is it her sister? I never knew she had one."

"She has a brother as well if I remember correctly right?"

"Oh yeah, what was his name again? Amon?"

"Yeah, look, he's standing in front of her. I didn't know she had a sister as well though."

"Well not like we even knew about her brother, her life is pretty secretive. Her brother looks pretty average compared to her though. I have heard nothing about him from the first years." "Yeah but look at her, she's so beautiful and kind...." He heard a mumble.

"I know right, I wish I had a chance with her..."

His busy schedule also made her not want to put any more burden on him.

Unfortunately, the time differences in the siblings' leaving and arrival made it difficult for

them to even have lunch together, let alone have her eat his cooking.

But nevertheless, it was something that made her heart fill with genuine warmth.

It was as if he finally found a purpose in life.

She didn't know what caused this change in him. Whether it was an interaction or something

else.

All she knew that was she was happy for him. As happy as a sister could get.

He was finally someone that she wanted him to be. To her, there was no one more important

in this world than her brother.

And seeing him change for the good was also something that made her beam with joy.

But, it changed again some weeks ago.

She noticed him having dark bags under his eyes one day and she questioned him for it.

He avoided it by giving an excuse that he hadn't slept well because of his friends.

Afterwards, those bags were removed and she never saw them again.

But that was all a facade he put on to not worry her.

As someone who possessed a talent of 8th order and a high affinity to the [Ice] element, she

was also smart enough to notice what her brother was trying to do.

It was obvious that he was using his [Blood] element on himself to make those bags

disappear.

As someone who surprisingly advanced to 2nd order, she knew her brother was at least

capable of this.

Katherine didn't know why he wasn't sleeping much. She knew if she asked him he would

never tell her.

She checked his room several times if something was the cause for it, but just like always, it

was clean and plain.

Day by day, his condition was getting more and more worse. When she asked Alice to help by asking Elizabeth, she found out that it had been more than a month since Amon last talked to

the latter.

But just when she was getting to confront him face to face, he came up to her for an outing. When he brought up the plan to her yesterday, she agreed wholeheartedly.

Both because she wanted to spend time with him and find out what was the cause of this.

He was probably doing this to throw off her suspicion of him.

She sighed with a smile.

'I hope you find the courage to tell me yourself....little brother.'
