“You look awfully unhappy? Cheer up!” This little sister was a stupid… can’t she see I can’t get happy all because of her!
“Yeah, cheer up, I’m Flynn Rhona. This is my little sister Carey Rhona.” This soft voice came from the elder, “What is your name?”
Hearing this, I began to look at these two girls carefully. They really were twins.
Same eyebrows, same bright eyes, same pretty face. The only thing that bothered me was the evil look in Carey’s eyes. Can’t she be a bit more like her sister?
“Ah… black hair, dark eyes, I’ve heard about you, you are Cohen Kheda!”
“I… I am Cohen…” I can’t lie about his.
“Cohen Kheda? You are son of the viceroy? Why stealing apple?” Flynn looked confused.
“Actually I…” I have to lie through this, “I am really hungry.”
“No lunch?”
“I… I ran away from home!” So hard to be a liar.
“But you are a noble? What’s good about run away from home?”
“I… I got sick…” Now I’m starting to confuse myself.
“What kind of sick? My sister will be the best physician! You can talk with her.”
“Yeah, I’m still learning, but I know some healing spells.”
What kind of sickness? I’ve been healthy since I was born, except for those dreams… I’m completely healthy.
“Can’t you say it? Are you lying?” Carey’s evil look appeared once more, “Sis, let’s go find grandpa.”
“No! I am… really sick!” I have to say something or die.
The following will be the top classified information in the empire!!!
“I… I have a…”
“You have a what! Say it!” Carey is no lady at all!
“I have a hole on my but!”
…
After laughing about it, I was brought to the red-nosed grandpa. A retired former general of Swabian.
He looked mighty… with a red nose.
“Hello sir, I am… I am Cohen Kheda.”
“Oh! You are Cohen Kheda! Welcom!” Grandpa had a loud voice, “You can call me grandpa like Flynn and Carey! Your father and I are good friends.”
“Grandpa, Cohen is so funny!”
“Really? You three shall be good friends then.”
“Yeah! We are already friends, right Cohen?”
I don’t wanna be your friend!
Well, luckily, I can put my heart back. And Wilder you four stupid, you knew such a evil creature lives here and you still let me! I’m going to kill them!
“Grandpa, I have four friends there down the hill.”
“Does one of them named Wilder?”
“Yeah, how do you know that?”
“Hahaha! No friends of Wilder dare to climb up to my garden!”
“Oh, grandpa, they are orphans, can you…”
“No problem, I’ll keep them in case they become bad.”
…
I slammed a big bag of food in front of them, and sat down unhappily.
They looked a bit lost.
“From now on, I am your boss!”
“Food!! Boss!!! Impressive!!!” Looking at the food, Moya acknowledged me, “Jack! Right?”
“Yeah… new boss is really good…” Jack was grabbing food in the bag, “Last time, last time Wilder came back with wounds full of his head!”
I stared at Wilder angrily!
“You set me up!” I said, “You knew there were 2 mean girls there right!!!”
“I… you can’t blame me… you wanted to get there…”
“Wilder, you are supposed to call him boss…” Marfa said.
“He doesn’t have the apple!” Wilder insisted.
“Look at it!!!” I took out a tiny ball and placed it in front of him, “Because of you!!! And you!!! They laughed at me!!! Two girls!”
“Yes… spring apple looks like this indeed…”
“Right… I’ve never seen this…”
“Boss, can I eat it?”
“Stop!!!” I declared, “Now I am the boss right, Wilder?”
“I’m a man with my words, since you have the apple, you are boss then.”
“There you go.” I smiled, “well… to keep you guys away from starving… me and grandpa had a agreement.”
“Boss, what is it??”
“I’m asking you guys to help out in the garden,” I said, “Don’t cry… you’ll live with him and you’ll be well fed”
“Noooooooo! Boss no…”
“Can’t, I’m your boss, you’ll listen to me! I said go!”
“Damn… that 2 girls are mean.”
“Stop… I think boss is better.”
Wilder said nothing, he fainted…
Since then, Wilder and the other three boys settled at grandpa’s home. Grandpa could be tough sometimes, but he cares about them. Meanwhile, he taught them martial and magic skills. Wilder and Moya were strong, so they take martial arts as their main. Marfa and Jack were not as good, but their were pretty good on spells and arrow.
I visited them everyday. And I watched when they practice. Though I can’t do anything, I’ve learned from watching. As for Flynn and Carey, they liked to practice on us with attacking magic, then healing spells afterwards.
God knows if deliberately planned to do that.
When they were on break, I taught them what I learned from the book. Or have a day out to play. During those days, every mountain, every river around the Darkmoon city saw our joyful faces
Time went by, I spent my days happily and ready to welcome my 12th birthday.
