"Hey, little brother, what happened that made you so lost in thought?"
Alice, who was sitting on my lap sideways, pinched and pulled my cheeks, bringing me back from my thoughts.
"Ah nothing special. I was just thinking about whether I should ask you about 'that' or not."
I replied half-heartedly as I was still mulling over the incident that took place with the sect master.
As Liliya was already under the care of elder Laila, I decided to visit my own courtyard and inform Alice and Anais about the future plans. But I hadn't told them yet as I was still troubled by the incident with Nereida.
She was very cooperative with my actions so far, enthusiastically so. In fact, nothing had gone wrong after joining this sect.
No major fights, no power struggles, no troublemakers. Truthfully, it was too peaceful.
