Chương 32: Anna's Schemes

"Linny, what brings you here?"

Alaric easily sensed her, he was a trained swordsman after all. He quickly caught her. 

"Can you guys keep a secret?"

"Don't involve me in this- Master already increased my lessons after the last incident." Aaron shot a look at Adeline and ran away. Whatever shenanigans that gremlin was up to, he was not participating. It's Alaric's turn now.

Alaric watched as Aaron zoomed past them with wide eyes. He thought his brother was exaggerating, she was a child, what big troubles could she cause?

"You have to promise to not tell anyone." He missed the very obvious devious smile on her face. It would've been his first hint. 

"Of course." Now he was curious, what secret was she about to reveal?

"You have to swear."

"I swear I won't tell anyone." He swore on his knight's honour that he would keep his promise. What could his little sister say that would make him back on his word? Nothing... Was what he thought.
