"I'm sorry but I can't help you," the female bowed in front of Lia.
Half an hour passed since Lia came with the little boy. During this span of time, Lia has told the female about her and the other hidden families' plan to take down the Ghost King.
A little girl came running out and tugged on the female's clothes, "Big sis, you won't leave me right? Big sis!"
"I won't," she patted the little girl's head and motioned her to go back. The little girl stared at Lia before rushing off.
"You see I have a family to take care of."
"Yes, they're very lovely."
"They are," the female had a sad smile, "My siblings are all I have left. If I go with you and leave them alone, I can't bear it."
She turned to Lia, "You came all the way, I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Lia was at a loss about what to do. She understood her wish to stay with her family but on the other side, the U family despite being so small would be an asset as an ally.
