Volume 3: Chapter 17 - Lia's Unknown Side

( Lia's Perspective )

"Brother Robert, where are you?"

I walked into Brother Robert's room in a daze and sat on his bed, hugging his pillow.

Ever since Brother Robert left, I have been training non stop under father's instruction.

Magic, Politics, Noble Etiquette, Tea Ceremony, Dance, etc.

Father has left nothing out for me, saying I must these things and become a proper noble lady who can inherit the Anglus Family in the future.

All the resources of the Anglus family have been poured into me. Be it Magical Herbs, Magic Items, Grimoires, Outstanding teachers, etc. everything has been prepared.

However, I am not happy because of this.

On the contrary I hate this because this means father doesn't care about either Brother Robert or Sister Aisha.

Be it Brother Robert or Sister Aisha, to me, they were far more important than this hypocritical family devoid love, especially Brother Robert.

However, now it was already holiday time according to the Academy's Calendar. So why hasn't Brother Robert returned yet?

Could it be that something happened to Brother Robert?

No, if that were the case then even if it was purely for the sake of family face, father wouldn't stay silent.

Then could he have been abducted by some scheming girl from another family?

For no reason, this thought popped up in my mind.

The moment it appeared, I immediately sat up straight.

"No, no, no. Brother Robert wouldn't be so easily deceived."

I hugged his pillow tighter and frowned. But after thinking about Brother Robert's usual style, I suddenly became less confident.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

"Maybe... maybe he really would."

After all, Brother Robert may not realise it himself but he was actually very attractive to opposite sex.

He was kind, gentle, and reliable. At the same time he was also handsome and excelled at both Magic and Martial Arts.

His figure was also excellent and his muscles weren't just for show.

If I were a girl meeting him for the first time then I would definitely fall for him.

"..."

"..."

"...That's not the point!"

My cheeks flushed as I buried my face in Brother Robert's pillow.

"It smells like Brother Robert..."

I unconsciously hugged it even tighter and rubbed my legs together.

But at the same time, I couldn't help but worry about Brother Robert.

Just imagining the scene of an unknown girl standing together with Brother Robert, I couldn't help but clench my first on the pillow.

"Brother Robert, you better have a good explanation for me or Lia won't forgive you."

I covered myself in Brother Robert's quilt and hugged his pillow, smelling Brother Robert's smell.

"Brother Robert..."

"Brother Robert..."

I rolled around on his bed once, wrapping myself completely in his quilt.

The quilt was a little too big for me, but that made it feel even more like I was being surrounded by him.

My face slowly became hot as I smelling the familiar scent of Brother Robert.

Although it had been a long time since Brother Robert left, I had used Magic to restrict the Smell left by Brother Robert to the quilt.

Therefore, the familiar smell surrounded by his body fragrance, made me feel as if Brother Robert was hugging from all corners.

"Brother Robert..."

I whispered his name again.

If anyone else saw me like this, they would definitely laugh at me.

A noble young lady of the Anglus family, hugging her brother's pillow and rolling around on his bed like a pervert.

But so what? This was Brother Robert's room.

No one else was here. So I could be a little willful.

I could miss him as much as I wanted and I could call his name as many times as I wanted.

"Brother Robert... Brother Robert... Brother Robert..."

"Knock-knock!"

Just as I was fantasizing about Brother Robert doing some heart racing scenes to me, a sudden knock interrupted all my ideas.

My mood instantly turned worse. However I knew the priorities. I quickly got up and tidied Brother Robert's bed then tidied my own clothing and walking out of the room.

Outside the door, a maid was standing with her head lowered.

"Miss Lia."

"What is it?"

I tried my best to make my voice calm. But because she had interrupted my time with Brother Robert's pillow, my tone was still a little unhappy.

The maid seemed to notice it and lowered her head even more.

"Lord Bahod has called for you!"

"Father? What does he need from me?"

I frowned subconsciously.

Father wouldn't normally call for except for the weekends when he would ask for my progress.

Today was Thursday, therefore something must have happened for him to call.

"I do not know. Lord Bahod didn't tell me."

The maid kept her head low and answered.

"I understand. Lead the way."
