Chapter 23: Selling his body

"Sorchaa~" Luke's yet to mature voice was heard around the empty classroom. His eyes are sparkling, and his lips are curved mischievously.

The other students has just left the room, and Sorcha was still packing her things, when Luke called her name.

Sorcha just ignored the kid. This past few weeks, she didn't know what has gotten into Luke as he seemed to enjoy pairing her with his older brother. She's getting a bit annoyed by his repeated teasing so she kept on telling herself to maintain her cool.

'An adult shouldn't bother with children.' she said inwardly. She didn't even bother to give him a glance.

Luke pouted, getting ignored by Sorcha, he turned his attention towards Rica who's also busy fixing her things.

"Hey Rica, don't you think Sorcha and my brother looks good with each other?"

Rica gazed at the childish Luke and tutted. "I really want to open that head of yours to know what's inside."

"What's wrong? I'm only saying that they look good together! Besides if she get to marry my brother, wouldn't that make me her brother-in-law? That would be great right?" He grumbled.

"We're still kids." Edmund on the side said softly with his head down low.

When the three heard him say that, they all looked at him with interest. Their eyes all at him, encouraging him to continue speaking.

Edmund felt his cheeks blushed once again because of their stares, but he still managed to get some confidence and followed, "We.. shouldn't be thinking like that now."

Sorcha patted his shoulders and looked at him with a face that says, 'You did a good job!'

He stiffed for a bit but soon smiled timidly, feeling good about Sorcha's action.

Rica also gave him a thumb's up then said to Luke, "See? Even Edmund says you're weird."

"I didn't mean that.." Edmund whispered bashedfully.

Luke harrumphed. "I only want to know what Sorcha thinks about my brother."

Because he keeps on mentioning his brother, Sorcha remembered Marion's bizzare action last time. She is still wondering how he could eat the food she made. She also couldn't understand why he kept on repeating his name to her before leaving the mansion.

'He is a very strange man.' She answered in her head but instead said, "Let's go home."

'I need to rest well today. Training starts tomorrow.' she added in her mind in a good mood. 'I can finally flex this bones of mine. I wonder what my dad prepared for my training?' thinking about it, she unconsciously smiled.

"Look! Sorcha is smiling. She's probably thinking about older brother. Come on now, I know you're interested in him" Luke laughed.

Sorcha only sighed and continued walking towards the exit.

"Heeeeey~ he's really really handsome. Girls like handsome guys right? Right??~"

'Why is this kid blabbering so much? And why does he remind me of a human trafficker?' She felt her goosebumps rising when the thought came into her mind, imagining this guy selling his brother's body. 'His older brother must have it worse. Sigh. He is too pitiful.' She then walked faster to avoid Luke's further teasing.

There's still one more chapter this week. And.. I haven't written it yet. Don't worry though, I'll make sure to do it

Chapter 24: Kiss on the cheeks

Late evening at the Barrons Mansion.

The lights in the study room of Anthony Barrons is still lit up. The scent of the books lingered in the air, making anyone feel comfortable when smelling them.

Anthony is sitting on his usual place, still wearing his uniform, as he stares at his beloved daughter that is standing in front of him. Sorcha is wearing her cute pajamas bought for her by Aria, and her favorite bunny slippers, ready to sleep anytime. While Uncle David is standing on his side.

"Are you already determined to walk the path of a soldier?" He asked seriously.

"Yes, dad. I am." Sorcha firmly replied. But her appearance while saying that looks quite comical because of the clothes she's wearing.

"Good. You didn't disappoint this old man! Haha! My daughter should always stand firm on her every decision!" Anthony heartily laughed.

"You keep on saying that you are an old man. What did that make me? A foot away from earth?" Uncle David joked from the side.

"Don't say that uncle David you still have a long road to take in your life." Sorcha smiled at him.

"Ha! My daughter is right! Haha besides you are still going to train my baby!" Anthony said.

Sorcha felt shocked when she heard that.

"Uncle David will train me?" She asked with curious eyes.

"Mm right." Anthony said.

"Sigh, unless you don't want this uncle of yours to be your teacher?" David teased her.

"Of course I want uncle to teach me! I know dad is busy so I'm not expecting him to be my teacher anyway" she answered with enthusiasm.

"I'm actually happy that your father is busy. I get to be able to teach you." He grinned.

"Hey, stop being cheeky. You won't be able to snatch my daughter's love from me anyway!"

Sorcha and her uncle David laughed happily hearing the childish tone of Anthony.

"Cough. Back on our topic. Tomorrow, you'll start training with your uncle." Anthony turned serious once again.

"Okay." Sorcha answered briefly with a smooth voice.

"I need you to wake up 4:30 AM everyday. We'll do your training every morning before you go to school and every night before sleeping. Do you think you can do that?" Uncle David was also serious.

"Yes I can!" She replied with a nod.

"Very well." David praised. "I will explain more when we start already." He added.

Sorcha just continued nodding her small head.

"Did you prepare yourself mentally?" Anthony interrupted them.

"Yes. I am already prepared." Her eyes beaming with determination.

"Good. I am expecting a lot from you. I want you to surpass me. Do you understand?" He said wanting to put more pressure on his daughter.

"I won't disappoint you dad!" Sorcha promised her father.

"Haha I'll remember that. Go back now to your room and rest. Prepare yourself for tomorrow." Anthony smiled gently, stood up and walked towards his daughter, giving her a kiss on her hair.

"Thank you dad. Goodnight." She also gave him a light peck on his cheeks, making her ears turned red instantly.

"Haha I even get to have a kiss! Your father is really happy! Go now! Go now!" Anthony again laughed merrily.

Sorcha nodded with a blushing face then also said her goodnight to her uncle before leaving the study room.
