The young boy and girl joined us around the fire at night with Leahs help. Angelina tossed so at into the pot of soup suspended above the fla. The young girl took care of the young boy after she ca to as though they were siblings. She carefully helped him onto the ground and looked at our pot with anticipation in her eyes. When she made eye contact with Leah, she used a hand gesture that we interpreted as her begging us to share so food with them.
Veirya looked at for direction, and I nodded. There was no need to lash out at a child. Leah filled up two bowls and carefully passed them to the girl. The girl went onto her knees and bowed. I reactively went to help her up. Kneeling to us was being far too formal. There was no need for a child to go that far, in my opinion. However, everyone reacted in a surprised manner, including the two of them, thereby making feel awkward. I blanked out for a second or two then sat back down
The young girl didnt utter a word, so I assud she was mute. The boy was more mature and bold than her. I swept my gaze over the two heads of black hair, three heads of silver hair then recalled Sisis burgundy long hair. There was also the late Edwards blonde hair. None of them had the black hair I was familiar with. I got used to their hair colours after spending so long with them, but black hair was still what I considered most normal. That was why I was puzzled when I saw the two kids with black hair. What surprised most was that their eyes and hair were black as mine were. Also, there was that odd kneel I could na a certain group of people similar to them
By the way, Count Lin, when we were at your town, the daughter of the tavern owner told to bring this to you. The boy took out a torn paper back from his shirt and placed it on the ground. Fortunately, the pouch was sturdy.
I asked, Ear dish?
I do not know. I just brought it with .
Why did you bring it to if you were going to assassinate ? If you succeeded, you wouldnt need to give it to .
Although I thought he was a skilled assassin, I suspected an intellect deficiency He wasnt even on Ross level
Do the two conflict with each other? I promised to bring you sothing, and I want to kill you. They are not the sa, are they? Why do they conflict with each other?
Okay, Kiddo, whatever you say.
I didnt want to debate the issue with a kid. Although the two apparently dropped their guards around us, they couldve just been looking for another opportunity to try and co for again. Either way, I just had to leave them to doctors after reaching the imperial capital. A pair of unard siblings wouldnt be a threat for us in the imperial capital.
The boy was embarrassed about being fed in front of people. Plus, he fractured his leg, not his arms. More importantly, though, he didnt want to hut the girls feelings, so he awkwardly ate, trying to finish and escape her pressure as soon as possible. Anna however seed to care about them, going out of her to spare so for them.
Inquisitive, Leah queried, Are you two lovers?
Pfft!
Out went the soup. The young girl quickly placed down the bowl and stroked the boys back as he coughed profusely. He wiped his mouth and explained, No! Were not lovers! Shes just my younger sister! You heard that right!
Yeah, usually anybody who says that has fantasies about their so-called sister. That is the first law of Lin Dongqings laws of the universe. Note that down, readers.
Oh, sister Leah remarked with a nod.
The young girl frantically pointed to her mouth and waved her hand.
Leah replied, Oh, so similar to my elven sister Sister Linna cant see
I assud the young girl mightve been born mute as I didnt spot any exterior wounds.
Judging from your skills, youre not very cruel assassins. If my conjecture is correct, you didnt train to be killers. What did you want here? questioned Angelina, arms folded. You dont have an aggressive and violent aura. Youre more similar to soldiers than assassins.
The two kids exchanged eye contact. The girl didnt seem to understand, but her brother did. He didnt reply, possibly because it was a private matter. That said, he couldve been shy or insulted. Angelina didnt press them for answer nor did I. Instead, I asked what I was most concerned with. Does everybody look the way you do where you ca from?
Hmm? responded the boy.
I cleared my throat and chose a different approach. What I ant was does everybody look the way you do with black hair and eyes? So, do you all look different to us?
Yes.
My fingers shook rhythmically. Their appearance was similar to one I was familiar with. I didnt miss ho because the South wasnt the origins of the ceramic products Albert sold. He obtained them from the East. Therefore, it shouldnt have been the country that was famous for producing silk
Chinas old neighbours popped into mind If my assumption was correct, I had a good reason to make a trip there I needed to see what was going on. Obviously, that was attributed to my own curiosity.
