Rose keeps biting her nail.It was bleeding.
'Rose!! What the hell are you doing?!! Are you crazy?!' Lily stops Rose.
'Ah..I didn't notice' Rose smiles with a wide grin while saying.
'Don't ever hurt your body.Got it?' Lily made Rose seat on bed while warning her.
Lily started healing her. A beautiful blue light,which is one of her abilities. To heal anything completely. Healing causes fatigue to a soul depending how much injury is being healed. But to Lily it came naturally. Rose was staring her constantly so Lily smiled and asked.'What is it?'
'From tomorrow our formal study life will begin. Are you not excited?'Rose wanted to know.
'Very much excited.'Lily replied with a smile.
Rose lied down on her lap and was playing with her long hair.
'Brother didn't come today too. I wonder why.'Lily was sad because of that.
'Lily! Why do you think he doesn't want to see us?'Rose tried to remind her as they were now Ruan instead of Shin.
'I asked mother. She said our nephew is very still young and he is not well.' Lily tried to think positively.
"He never visits or sends any gift on our birthdays. Only her wife does. He is not happy that we are born." Rose thinks to herself without letting Lily know.
'What would you do if they don't like us?' Rose couldn't but ask.
Lily says with a faint smile,'I hope they do..but if they don't then I won't bother. I have you, mom, dad. That's enough for me.'
Training at home begins.
The primary subjects are common for both of them. Their private tutor Luis Harrison is a student from University of Edinburgh which is currently renovating itself to become a large campus. Rose was observing him carefully. He was nervous as these girls were very observant and rejected many talented mentors. He also heard these girls can read Jinns and Humans,so he has been extra nervous for three days when he teaches them.
Rose smiled to see that he is a very decent person and greets him,'Good Morning,'
'Ah! Good Morning to you too.' Luis greeted too.
"They seem very polite. I guess what I heard was wrong. They are good kids" Luis tries to convince his heart.
Lily understood that Rose found what she was looking for and was pleased to see Rose being polite. She still has no idea why Rose was being so picky about the teacher.
"It doesn't matter to me who teaches us. We just need to learn." Lily converse with Rose through mind.
"Silly Lily! A teacher is also a mentor. I wanted one whom I can fully rely on." Rose smiled after saying that.
"And he is the one?" Lily asked.
Rose nodded. After the primary lesson Rose changes her tutor,who is a follower of Erlyien to teach her about politics and other matters.
'You have done it wrong.' Luis corrects the mistake.
'Oh! Really! How should I do it?'
'This way.' Harrison was pleased that he has also found a good student.
'If you don't mind may I ask you something?' Luis hesitates.
'Of course!Mr.Harrison.'Lily allowed him to.
'What inspired you to want to become a doctor?' Luis was really curious.
'Oh! I wanted to help my sister mostly. If she becomes a police or becomes a soldier,she will need some assistance.' Lily answers with honesty and earnestly.
'What a strange purpose! I thought you would say you want to help humans or to break the tradition to support women. Fight for what is just.'Luis spoke out his mind.
"Breaking traditions?I want to do that in many cases too." Lily starts to draw something unconsciously.
'Ah! forget that.. that's..' Luis panics.
'My voice won't be heard if I speak now. I need to be capable..' Lily's word made Luis silent.
Harrison saw Lily was thinking something,so he tried to change the subject,' Oh! You can draw ? It's very pretty..'
'It's just something I do.'she brushed away the compliment.
'My little brother draws too.' Luis added.
'You have a little brother?' Lily asked.
'Yes! He is 2 years older than you. He wants to study medicine. He is also determined to be a priest. Crazy kid!' Luis smiles as he doesn't know the cause.
'Priest?!' Lily was surprised.
'Yes. Anyway..if you want to study surgical procedures you have to study human's body. Dead bodies. Do you think you can do it.' Luis wanted to test her determination.
'I have to.' Lily looked at him while answering.
The hit landed directly on the side of Rose. Fortunately,she avoided that.
'Ruan Sayo! Why are you day-dreaming?' A rough voice was screaming.
'Sorry! I was distracted.' Rose tried to focus.
"I should focus so that I can support her.I shouldn't be distracted." Rose tried to settle.
The force of the wooden sword landed hard on the body of the knight.
'Oh! You said I should..' Rose was hesitant.
'Yes! You should. You are born to kill the demons.' That voice again replied.
'I think so too.' Rose's grips tightens on the weapon.
A very tall guy entered through the Castle's entrance. She knows who he was. A face just like her mother's.
"Why the hell this demon had to look like my mother!"Rose felt so angry that she threw the sword toward Tao Shin as he was approaching them. The followers behind him tried to capture her but she stopped them.
'Stop right there.'Rose commanded and they couldn't break off the spell.
'You little devil ! Even after knowing you me, you tried to attack me?' Tao Shin looked down at her.
'What are you talking about Brother? I'm just simply angry that my brother,not even for once, had come to visit us.'Rose changed the direction.
Everyone looked at Tao Shin.His expression changed.
'Brother didn't attend on the birthday last year,nor did this year. We have turned 7 now yet you didn't come for once. Is it because you hate us?' Her words attacked like needles.
He begins to sweat to see how daring she was.
"T-So the news was true. She can read minds."Tao was thinking and observing.
'Brother! You know how upset Lily was? She has been waiting for you since the day she has known that we have a brother.' Rose pretends to pout.
'Really?! I must have upset her.'Tao Shin didn't know how to handle Rose.
"and here I thought he might be a strong opponent,he is a coward. How disappointing! You bark even though you don't know how to bite." Rose clenched her teeth.
'Lily may forgive you but don't think I will. I will never.'Rose left the ground after saying that.
She saw Lily was getting out with Harrison.She runs to her and hugs her.
'Lily!' Rose was hugging her tightly.
'Silly! You are sweating.'Lily slaps on Rose's back while hugging back.
'I was right, Sayo is the naughty one.' Luis smiles.
'I know, Teacher! I can't help it.'Rose grins widely.
'Ruan Siya!'
Lily looked at Tao. She recognised that he was her brother instantly.' Brother!'
She ran to him and hugged him.
"This girl is good. She is ok to be my sister. The face of a Ruan." Tao was analysing inside his head.
"Oh! So you don't like me because I look like our father. Even though he is your father still you say it like that, two faced a** !"Rose couldn't but curse.
"What! That means he only likes me because I look like our mother! He is a...threat to Sayo! I can't befriend someone who is this biased."She pushed Tao Shin away and furiously ran towards Rose.
"R- What's wrong Lily? Why are you so angry?"Rose couldn't understand.
Lily didn't answer Rose nor Rose could read Lily's thought.
Lily was confused why she was so angry. Rose wanted to know why. She never thought that their brother was this kind of person. Greedy and biased.
'Are you angry because he didn't meet your expectations?'Rose mocked
Rose hugged her seeing Lily depressed like that and tried to calm her down.
"I know" rose tried to assure Lily.
"Why are you acting like you are my big sister."Lily was surprised.
"I will become everything that you need. Friend, sister, brother, your baby… Whatever you need. Just don't be upset." Rose requests.
Lily hugged her back and thought she won't let him come near Rose. Rose understands ehy she couldn't read Lily.
"So this is why I couldn't read you."
She became worried.
"If you are angry, I won't be able to access your mind. You won't even let me enter Lily. It's dangerous then."Rose began to worry about Lily's future.
