Chapter 81: His Relief and Support [1]



****

Amon gulped.

'Why am I being cornered right now?' He questioned Zephyra in his mind.

[She's your sister, what did you expect? She must have found out.] The latter shrugged in his mind.

The black-haired boy's attention moved back to the present, finding his sister calmly seated in front of him.

"So? What's troubling you?" she asked.

After eating, they shopped some more before Elizabeth and Alice went their ways and he was forced to have one more cup of tea by her.

He forced a genuine smile.

"I don't understand sis. Everything is fine."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Are you sure?" she asked, her voice mellow.

He stifled a gulp and avoided giving any signs away.

"Yeah, I'm exactly fine, nothing to worry about."

Silence ensued between them for a few seconds.

"Hmmm.." Katherine crossed her hands while Amon kept up his smile.

"Then...." She rose a little from her seat, her arm reaching out towards his face.

Amon tried to lean back in his seat.

"S-sis, we are still at the mall..." He stutteringly excused.

He wanted to make some distance, but the back of the seat rooted him in his place.

"It doesn't matter," Katherine replied as her hand neared his face.

He closed his eyes for whatever she was about to do.

And in the next moment, he felt her smooth cold fingertips touch the skin under his eyes.

A soothing and refreshing coldness started to spread on that spot, making him open his eyes in shock.

Although his whole body was burning from what she had done just now, there was something more shocking at hand.

The spot where she had touched was where he was constantly manipulating blood to hide his bags.

And by spreading ice over it, she clotted his blood manipulation.

It felt a little numb and painful but....

'H-how did she find out?'

[Told you, she's your sister.] Zephyra shrugged.

"I knew it. You were manipulating the blood weren't you?" she asked him with a worried gaze.

He averted her gaze.

"Now...." She started to massage his head.

"Tell me what happened...."

Amon resisted a sigh.

****

Amon didn't tell the true story. He never would.

It wasn't because he wanted his sister to not hate Lily.

Far from it.

In fact, he knew that even if he told her the truth she would never hate Lily in the slightest.

That's just how nice and kind-hearted she was.

It was because he was afraid of his deeds.

He didn't want her to know that he killed a sentient human. And not just one but an entire

massacre was carried out.

She would never blame or hate him for it, he knew that.

After spending a month with her, Amon knew that Katherine was the type of sister who would never blame or hate him even if he massacred the entire world.

As long as it was for a reason.

She would even stand by his side for that reason.

But he didn't want to tell her how much he got hurt and what lengths he went to, just to save

Lily.

So, he just told her about the nightmares and how many old-aged people appeared in his dreams and haunted him.

He told her that this was the reason that he was never able to sleep more than an hour for the

whole month.

He lied by lengthening the duration but it was necessary.

He also removed the part about him taking pills and medicine to calm himself down.

After hearing his whole story, Katherine smiled slightly, sadness welling in her eyes.

She pulled him into a hug once more before reminding him to always share his troubles with

her.

As his elder sister and the only family in this world, she would stand by and support him no

matter what.

He assured her that he would and then, she put him back in her lap and started to ruffle his

hair again.

Silence ensued for a minute before she finally started to speak on how to solve this issue.
