"You can take the other professions but being a soldier is a big NO!" he angrily exclaimed.
Just by imagining that his twin sister is taking the path of a soldier, he felt painful inside his heart. He knows what happened to their mother. She was a soldier with a position of Military General. She was murdered by bombing the yacht she was using towards Country P.
He doesn't want that to happen to his twin sister. Now, he realized that he doesn't want to lose her after losing their mother.
He immediately hugged her tightly while tearing up. "What should I do in order to keep you safe?" he asked shamelessly. He didn't even realize that he is the sole reason why she felt isolated in Reinhold Family. For the first time, she felt the warmth of having an elder brother.
"Just manage the family business and become my huge backer" she said jokingly but she doesn't know that her words became his strength to success in the business industry.
He hummed as an approval as he take it seriously. His turned cold and matured overnight. His grandma's warnings about Aubrey seizing the heir position.
"It is time to sleep. You should head back. If stay any longer, they might notice you here" she said and broke from the hug. She smiled brightly because, finally, she felt warmth from his twin brother.
"Okay. You should also sleep. We still have to hold the wishing well tradition" he reminded and stroke her head like she's a cat.
"Elder Brother, is there really a heavenly punishment?" she asked. Now, she worried of how the ceremony turned out.
"No, there is no record on family library about heavenly punishment. But for your sake, I will check it out" he said and turned around. He left her room.
His face showed coldness and anyone could sense his aura being bloodthirsty. He headed towards the family library and decided to stay there for tonight.
Aubrey shut her eyes and sleep. Inside her dreams, she gained overwhelming strength that no human could contend with, even the military armaments unless being fired by nuclear power.
She even drooled because of how her dreams being played out according to her wishes without checking her appearance on the mirror. She was about to check herself on the mirror when suddenly a voice came from far distance woke her up.
"Young Miss Aubrey, the breakfast is ready" the maid who usually called her, said.
"Okay" she casually said while trying yo recall of what kind of dreams she had because she felt refresh and happy inside but whatever is that dream, she decided to set it aside.
In the dining table, everyone is already present and she's usually the late one to come over.
"It looks like you have a good dream" her father said while seeing his daughter smiles widely.
She nodded but frowned, "But this is the first time I have forgotten about the content of my dreams. You also know that I have photographic memory which is easily for me to remember but strangely, I couldn't remember my dream" she replied while contemplating why was it.
"Is it a bad thing?" Grandma Amy asked. Usually, she will stay silent every time Aubrey speaks but this time, her tone turned gentle like she's suppressing her venomous tongue.
"Yes, it is a bad thing, Grandma. Because having a photographic memory makes the bearer remember every single details of the things she senses like seeing once of the books arrangement in the bookshelves but after an hour, the books are arranged differently. She could easily tell it like that but if she couldn't, there is nothing wrong with her senses nor memory. It just happened which is the strangest thing for photographic bearer" Andrew simply explained.
"Do you want to have a check-up?'Grandpa France asked but Aubrey shook her head. His face showed how worried he is.
"When I woke up, I already smiled widely like I have din something victorious so it is not a big deal" she replied.
"Alright"
"I invited the Conrad Family tonight because you showed interest on their second son, Cedric. Usually, the Conrad Family would reject invitations if it is related to family's tradition or culture but this time they accepted it" Grandma Amy said calmly like it is a normal thing but for men like her father, brother and grandpa, it has deep meaning.
"Why have they accepted the invitation? I suspected that they are also showing interest to Aubrey" her father asked and said. His face showed annoyance. Aubrey felt amused of how triad reacted. Isn't it only staring and greeting? Why is it becoming a big deal?
"How did you meet the Conrad's?" Andrew asked while his one brow rose up. Aubrey wanted to laugh.
"We just greeted each other when they saw on the balcony of my room, staring at them" she replied calmly without showing her amusement.
"It looks like Frederick's son fancied our Aubrey" Grandpa France teased to ease the tension because Aubrey is on the hot seat!
"Now, now... Let's prepare for the ceremony tonight" Andrew diverted their attention to the wishing well tradition.
"I already prepare the traditional clothes of our ancestors appropriate for the ceremony" Grandma Amy stated.
"At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, you have to kneel down in front of our ancestor's stone tablet until four o'clock before dusk and proceed to the wishing well to make a wish. You should say it three times loudly. After that, you should for a sign."
"The sign depends on each member of the family. Your father's sign was fire. The candles at that time suddenly lit up. His wish was to become successful businessman."
"Your grandpa's sign was a bird screeching loudly and landed on his shoulder. His wish was to have healthy lifestyle. Ever since then, he wasn't visited clinics nor hospitals. If he does, it showed that he's very healthy"
"Your twin brother's sign was a shooting stars, his wish was to support the strongest person in the world through our business empire but he must firstly lead the corporation into an empire"
Grandma Amy stated the almost impossible wishes. Yes, it sounds easy from my father's mouth but the competitors were scheming to drag him down but before the scheme happened, father found it out like there was someone keep on sending him warnings in his dream but he didn't believe it came from guardian of wishing well. He believed that he has a guardian angel guarding him from evil. The same happened to his grandpa.
For his twin brother, his wish is impossible unless she is that person because she wanted to become the strongest woman in the world and also suggested him to become her backer. Is it coincident? I said those words without knowing his wish back then.
