"Brother, wake up..." A sweet and timid voice softly called out to him, shaking his shoulder lightly. "Brother... Ehh!!" And she called out to him again only to be suddenly pulled by him into his arms and his bed.
"Good morning, Reina." Keith smiled as he looked at the girl pressed under his weight, writhing under the heat of his naked torso with her fair cheeks flushed in a shy warmth.
"Good morning." She managed to reply before she closed her eyes, but it was not going to save her.
Keith planted soft kisses on her closed eyes, and then to make her open them, he captured her luscious lips.
She struggled a little more, and her eyes turned a little misty as well, thanks to the dirty thoughts that suddenly plagued her innocent mind. But then she just gave up, surrendering to him, and her mind became hazy.
"You are silly." He chuckled as he picked her up with him, and despite her struggles and embarrassment, he took her inside the dressing room and then into the bathroom, where he stripped naked before her eyes and made her help him take a bath.
To her relief, he did not take any advantage of her, which she was conscious about, but other than that, he did pull her into several kisses and helped her bathe. Which was more than enough to make her lose her mind and turn into an obedient little doll, who just kept her head lowered with a silly smile on her lips, burning in a furious blush.
When they returned to his bedroom, her twin was standing there, waiting for them.
"Good morning, Amira." Keith did not wait for the girl to say something and approached her to pick her up in his arms and steal a kiss from her soft lips.
He always found it a little amusing as they both tasted the same, and they even smelt the same.
"Good morning, brother." She smiled and blushed, but again inquisitively looked at her twin, who was not even raising her head to meet her eyes.
"It's Sunday morning." Keith suddenly said, reminding them both about something and they turned to look at him in unison.
"Brother..." Amira immediately told him why Reina had come to wake him up at only 8 o'clock in the morning.
Samantha Reid was dead.
Keith feigned a little surprise when they told him about it, both of them very distressed at the news they had received.
Though they had only met the girl a couple of times, she could still be considered an acquaintance, and it did scare them a little that she was gone now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, Keith was not bothered about it in the least even though he did put up a frowning expression.
The reason was simply that he had a hand in the girl's death. After all, he had orchestrated it all.
He had instructed Iseul the day the Heir of the Rovic Family died at Sunaina's hands that she must make sure that Samrath's little lover dies when the Rovic come after him. And she seemingly took the opportunity last night to eliminate the girl.
Keith, however, was a little surprised at the Fate Value Samantha's death had shaven off of Samrath. It was a mere 100 Points.
Then again, he was not too surprised as he knew how headstrong Samrath was. He would definitely raze the Rovic Family to the ground, but Samantha's death was not enough to shake his mental stability and make him lose his mind.
"Is breakfast ready?" He asked, diverting the twins' attention from the distressing thoughts.
"Yes." Amira nodded to him, and then they both followed him as he led them out of the room, holding their hands.
"By the way, she just helped me take a bath." He told the older twin, which made her little sister burn in a blush at the memory that was still fresh in her mind. "And Reina was kind enough to give me a few very passionate kisses." He added, making it worse for the younger girl, but Amira just giggled and nodded her head.
When they arrived in the dining room, only Kashish and Iseul were present there, and his student immediately stood up to serve him his meal.
"Kiara and Minami?" He asked after he scanned the Mansion and only found Yingying in her room, meditating.
"They went out to catch fish," Kashish informed him. "They plan on making it for dinner."
"I see." He nodded his head and enjoyed the sandwiches that Iseul had made. "What are your plans for the day?"
"I am going to help at the Hospital today," Kashish informed him.
"We have a party in the afternoon. Everyone from our class will be attending it." Amira smiled at him, and Keith froze a little when he heard her words.
He did not know why but he had this hunch that something was going to happen at this party.
"Where is this party taking place?"
"Elantra." Reina smiled at him. "Do you want to come?"
"Maybe." He smiled. "Are outsiders allowed?"
"No." She giggled. "It's a class party that we are all throwing for our Class Representative. It's her birthday. But you can come if you want. She is your fan."
"No thanks." He chuckled. "Have you picked up a gift for her?"
"Not yet..."
Keith engaged the twins in a casual conversation for the rest of their meal, and then he stood up and signalled to Iseul to follow him to the study.
"Did you do it yourself?" He straightforwardly asked and watched his Iris nod her head.
"The Rovic sent men after Samrath and she was with him. He dropped her home and dealt with those men, but there was another team that tried to kidnap Samantha. I took the opportunity when she suffered an accidental head injury in the fray..." She gave him a brief account of last night's incident.
Keith was not surprised that she had done a very meticulous job, leaving no clues behind and making it seem like it was the fault of the Rovic Family.
It did not really matter to him if Samrath even found out that there was someone else behind Samantha's death. There was nothing the Child of Destiny could do about it right now as he was facing an unexpected turn of events.
Who would have thought that the Rovic Family were not as simple as they seemed, and were, in fact, directly related to a very powerful Netherian Ancient Family? Certainly not Samrath before he decided to take the blame for the death of the Heir of the Rovic Family on his head. And now he had to save Sunaina and himself from their clutches and get back at the Rovic for what happened to Samantha.
What Keith was pleased about was that Samrath and Sunaina had gotten very close to each other, and with one of his Heroines by his side, the Child of Destiny was seeing a steady rise in his Fate Value.
He had also managed to access the Fragment of Book of Life again, resulting in an increase in his Cultivation Realm and also gaining enlightenment in his Life Reversing Threads Technique.
"Has Sunaina's maternal Family come for her?" He asked.
With the recent turn of events, it should be the time when another Ancient Family would be dragged into the fray.
The girl had awakened her Heavenly Vitra Physique, and it was bound to attract her maternal Family's attention, which would result in her being taken away by them to their Family Sect.
"No, Master." Iseul shook her head.
"Keep an eye out for them." He told her. "And keep an eye on today's party that Amira and Reina will be attending."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes." She did not ask any questions and nodded her head.
"Where is Samrath?"
"He's at Samantha's house with her father." She smiled. "The police have the body and they will discharge it later today. The funeral will likely be held tomorrow morning."
"Has he contacted the Arya?"
"Not yet." She shook her head. "Do you want me to take Sunaina out?"
"No." He smiled. "She must live for some time."
"As you say." She nodded her head and then looked him in the eyes. "Lady Amelia and Zoey are going to Magic City."
Keith was surprised at her words and nodded his head.
He did not need to ask why Amelia was going there. She was undoubtedly going there to visit her family. But Keith knew that something was bound to happen there on her visit.
"Where is Alana?"
"She's in Eden right with your grandmother, but she will be joining Lady Amelia and Zoey in Magic City a couple of days later."
"And Yexuan?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Magic City. He's been spending most of his time in the mountains recently. Quite close to the territory of Mourntale Family." She informed him and waited for his instructions.
Now he had no doubt that something interesting was bound to happen there. However, Keith was not concerned about any of it.
With Amelia there, nothing wrong could happen. There was no danger. After all, if Yexuan was a Child of Destiny, so was his dear wife. It was unlikely that any harm would come to her and the people who remain by her side.
"You will focus on things happening in Griffin City..." He gave Iseul the instructions, and his Iris obediently nodded her head before leaving the study.
Putting all his thoughts aside, Keith took out a book on Forging and immersed himself in it. He was not too concerned about the things that were happening.
It was not yet time for him to deal with Yexuan, and he planned on playing around with Samrath for a while longer, gathering as much Fate Value as he could farm from him.
Therefore, he was focused on things that he deemed more important, such as learning and developing important skills.
