Chapter 47
******
Meanwhile, Lavana, on entering the room, found that Beatrix was already asleep. Beside the little babe on the bed was something Lavana had never seen before. But she had an inkling as to what it could be.
“Beatrix!” she was forced to call out in a deep tone.
“Huh?” the little girl woke up.
“What did you promise?” Lavana questioned.
“Er?” Beatrix looked around and saw a golden staff on the bed. She quickly looked at her finger and found that there was still a golden ring on the index finger.
“Big sis, this is not my witch scepter,” she said in panic and quickly got off the bed.
This scepter on the bed was way bigger and more majestic than hers.
An ancient brown book designed with dried vines appeared beside the scepter and it was glowing so brightly.
Beatrix kept shaking her head.
“It’s not mine, big sis.”
“I know now. I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions too early. Can you forgive me, honey?”
“It’s fine. I know you care about me. I keep my promises.” Beatrix smiled and Lavana rubbed her head gently.
“Thank you hone. You have a big heart, you know.” she squatted and placed a kiss on Beatrix’s forehead. She then looked at the bed again with puzzlement.
“But who exactly has this?” Lavana asked with furrowed brows. These things on the bed did not belong to the little one. Beatrix was just a witch apprentice and her ring was still on her finger, which means she hadn’t broken their promise as she thought earlier.
“It’s me.” they heard a male voice.
“Who?” Lavana asked, bringing the little one close to her for safety.
“Why are you scared Riri?” the voice asked.
“Big brother?” Beatrix called out in surprise.
“Bingo!” immediately, a figure materialised on the bed.
It was a man wearing a purple hat that had a silver feather. He was dressed in a red crop top and a blue jean jacket. He wore yellow loose trousers and was barefooted. Expensive jewellery bedecked his hands and neck. He even had a nose chain and earrings on.
His auburn curly hair is shoulder length.
“Hi, Riri.” the man waved with a smile.
“Big sis, save me.” Beatrix cried out.
“Eh? Isn’t he your big brother?” Lavana asked in puzzlement.
“Yeah. But he’s a bully. He promised to help me train faster to become a certified witch but you know what he did? He sold me for just 500 dollars!”
“I sold you? I gave you away to be pampered by the Morrisons.” He defended.
“You still have the mouth to say that. Big sis, he’s irresponsible. I hate you, Peter.”
“Calm down, honey,” Lavana said before walking over to the man on the bed.
“Care to explain?”
“Who are you to her?” Peter asked with folded arms.
“I’m her sworn big sis.”
“I’m her biological brother,” Peter said with pride.
“Pei! I don’t have a brother like you.” Beatrice spat.
“Riri… You’re hurting my feelings, you know. How could you say such an awful thing?” he said with a pained expression.
“Hurt your feelings? Ha! A terrorist has feelings?” Beatrice spat in contempt.
“That’s a bad name to call your kin, you know.” Peter chided.
“Hey stop it you two. Beatrice and I were about to get some sleep here. How did you get in here and what do you want?”
“Well, I’ve been keeping track of her using this pearl.” he brought out a fist-sized blue glowing pearl.
“It will dim when she’s in great danger and will start turning black if she’s dying. It so far has remained bright, which means she’s having fun outside. Our parents and I are missing her so much so I came to claim her back.”
“You want her back? No way. I get to bring her back, Mr Peter.”
“When do you plan on doing so, skeleton princess?”
“What did you just say?” Beatrix barked.
“She’s so skinny. What’s with that look? I’m not lying, you know. Is she suffering from kwashiorkor? If she were shorter, I’d say she has Marasmus.” he said with a playful smile.
“Yes, I’m indeed very skinny.” Lavana walked towards Peter. “Do you have an issue with that?”
“You’re too close to me,” Peter said.
The next thing, before he knew it, she tore off the front part of his crop top and set fire to his jacket.
“My gosh.” he took them off quickly. Before he could even complain, she set fire to his loose trousers.
“Hey!” he wanted to run to the bathroom but she blocked him.
“Take it off.” Lavana ordered.
“Beatrix, I’m your brother. Your flesh and blood.”
“Hmph. I don’t know you.” Beatrix looked away without a care.
“You dare traumatize my little sis. You aren’t even sorry for what you did and you come here to insult me. What do you know?” Lavana bellowed after Peter had taken off his pants. Now he was left with his purple hat and his black speedo. He quickly took off his hat and used it to cover his crotch area.
“You… aren’t you an Omega?”
“Yeah. But I’m a special one. You insult me again, I’ll burn your hat.”
“You can’t burn it. It’s resistant to many elements.” Beatrix said.
“Oh? It’s a sign of his wizardhood?”
“Yeah.” Beatrix nodded.
“Gosh. This is too embarrassing.” Peter said with a pained face.
Beatrix had already collected his book while Lavana took his staff. She did not get a backlash as he hoped. Non-wizard or witch descendants can’t hold the scepter of a witch or wizard. Now he found a person who defied the odds. Now he had no way to help himself. He couldn’t go out like this. It would be the shame of his life.
“Miss,” he went to his knees in defeat.
“I’m sorry. I had a loose tongue. I will be careful next time.” He said.
“What about Beatrix. Don’t you owe her something?” Lavana said while inspecting his staff.
“Riri, I’m sorry. I should have told you beforehand. I won’t try it ever again. Please, can you both forgive me for my sins?”
“No!” the both of them replied.
“Eh? Why?” he couldn’t reconcile with this fact.
“You have to bring big brother here or else, we won’t be releasing your staff and your book. Gimme that hat.” Beatrix ordered.
“No, I can’t.”
Lavana immediately took it from him, causing him to squat with a red face.
“You can go now. Go out through the window and come back with big brother tomorrow evening or else, you won’t be getting any of these.” Beatrix said.
“I can go but can you at least let me borrow a shirt? I really can’t go out like this.” He pleaded.
Beatrix walked to the wardrobe and fished out a big shirt that belonged to Lavana. She then came back and gave it to him.
He quickly wore it. It barely covered his thighs but he was grateful to an extent.
“I won’t come back if I don’t see big brother,” Beatrix said as he scaled the window.
“Beatrix, keep my stuff safe. I’ll be back by tomorrow evening. Love ya, Riri!” he blew a kiss at her before running away.
Beatrix threw out the book and collected the staff and hat from Lavana. She also threw these out the window before closing it back.
“Why did you do that?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“He’ll surely get them back while we are asleep, anyway. Better save him the stress.” Beatrix said as she climbed onto the bed.
“Girl, you never told me you had an older brother,” Lavana said as she also got on the bed.
“I actually have two brothers but they are annoying. But I like my other brother more.” Beatrix replied.
“Oh. Is Peter your elder bro?”
“No. You’ll see the one I like tomorrow evening. And you’ll be the one to take me back home. I won’t let either of them.” Beatrix said with a smile.
Lavana sighed and told Beatrix to lay her head down. They had to sleep. Tomorrow was gonna be a busy day.
“Goodnight, big sis.”
“Night, baby girl,” she whispered to Beatrix, planting a kiss on the little one’s forehead.
Meanwhile, Peter whose clothes had already changed to that of a wizard’s flew back to the window and watched his sister sleeping so comfortably with the abnormal Omega female.
“Sweet dreams, you two,” he whispered before wearing his wizard hat back. The ancient book glowed and became smaller. He placed it in his pocket, then the scepter flew to him and he sat on it.
“Off I go!” he said with glee as the scepter took him away at an abnormal speed.
