"Knock...!" "Knock...!"
A sound of knocking sounded at the door of Eden's room, waking up Grandma Mary.
As Grandma Mary's eyes opened, her sleepy gaze moved towards the door.
She couldn't help but think, 'Who is it?'
She didn't know the time, but feeling sleepy, she could tell that it was quite early in the morning. Because if it weren't, she wouldn't feel this tired.
"Come in," she muttered, shaking off her sleep.
The door opened, and Aurelia entered the room, wearing a black T-shirt and black leggings.
As Aurelia entered the room, her eyes fell on the two sleeping on the bed, causing her heart to beat faster as she saw Eden's body.
While her stomach twisted in jealousy as she saw Grandma Mary next to her.
Both Eden and Grandma Mary were sleeping with their bodies entangled. The only difference today was their position and that they were not covering their body fully with the sheets.
This caused Eden's body to be fully visible, as he was sleeping on his back, with Grandma Mary hugging him from the side.
While Aurelia was busy devouring the scene of the naked body of her brother, ignoring Grandma Mary completely.
Grandma Mary was staring at her with a confused expression.
She couldn't help but think, 'What's she doing this early here?'
'Is she here for his training?' She thought, her eyes moving towards Eden.
'But isn't it too early for a training?'
"What happened, sweetheart?" Grandma Mary asked, wanting to know the reason behind her visit.
Hearing her words, Aurelia looked at her as she replied.
"Training."
Her words made Grandma Mary freeze.
'She is really here for the training.'
"But isn't it too early, sweetheart?"
"Eden asked to come at this time," Aurelia replied, her face expressionless, looking as if she hadn't just lied.
And... Grandma Mary believed her completely because she couldn't think of a reason why Aurelia would lie to her.
"Oh," She uttered, as her eyes moved to Eden.
"And here he is, sleeping like a log. After calling you this early in the morning." She spoke, looking at him.
Before, she added, her lips nearing his ear.
"Kiddo, Aurelia is here."
After ending her words, she leaned back, still looking at his figure, before her gaze shifted towards Aurelia.
"I don't think he is going to wake up, sweetheart."
But, as though denying her words, a groan escaped from her side.
"Hnnn...!"
...
EDEN'S POV
I groaned before shifting towards Grandma Mary and clutching her tightly.
'I don't want to wake up,' I thought, rubbing my face between her boobs.
The feeling of her warmth was starting to get addicting. I didn't want to leave.
But, opposite to my thought, I sat up, rubbing sleep from my eyes.
Looking at me, Grandma Mary spoke, her voice soft, "You can rest if you don't want to go."
After ending her words, her gaze moved towards Aurelia before she shifted her eyes to me once again, and she added, "But you shouldn't have called her this early in the morning, sweetheart."
"I am going," I muttered, my voice hoarse.
"But isn't it too early?" Grandma Mary spoke up.
"I want to do my best in the Awakening Ceremony," I spoke, looking at her with sleepy eyes.
Technically I wasn't lying. Because I really want to improve my body and stamina.
While listening to my answer, Grandma Mary's gaze softened as she kissed my forehead.
"Okay."
After which, I started to wear my clothes that were flung aside. As I was wearing it, I couldn't help but feel a shiver down my spine, feeling someone's intent gaze locked on me.
But my hands never stopped, as I already knew who the person staring so intently at me was.
Who else... my sister.
After putting on my clothes, I looked at my grandma.
"I am going now, Grandma."
"Hm, okay, bye. Take Care."
"Bye," I said, kissing her on the lips, before moving out of the door.
...
After moving out of his room, Eden and Aurelia moved downstairs.
"I will be in the living room."
"Hm, okay. Just wait for a few minutes."
"Hm."
Eden moved towards the washroom and bathroom section of the house, while Aurelia moved towards the living room.
...
After freshening and bathing, Eden moved out of the bathroom, wearing a loose white T-shirt and black trousers.
As both of them left the house.
...
4:32 AM
As Ethan exited from the house, walking on the streets with his sister, his eyes fell on the dark surroundings.
It was still early, as cold air blew, the type that soothes your whole body, tousling his hair.
They both kept walking, before their walk turned into jogging, with a silence between them, not an awkward but a comforting silence.
...
Kohra village was divided into three parts.
The outermost, the middle, and the innermost.
Each part was separated by walls, and there was only one entry and exit gate, which was guarded by guards strictly.
The outermost village was the place where the most danger lay, as its boundaries separated the forest and the village.
The village walls that separated it from the forest were big if compared to the middle and innermost parts.
And it was the place where commoners lived.
The middle part was the place where families of merchants and people with good money lived.
It was also the place where Eden's family lived.
The innermost part was also separated by the walls. But these walls were better built, as it was the place where families of royalty lived.
The village church, guild, village management office, and academy were situated in the innermost part alongside the baron's manor.
Entry and exit in the village were strictly monitored, especially when going in the middle and innermost parts.
And right now, Eden and Aurelia were walking towards the gate of the middle part that led to the outermost part.
...
EDEN'S POV
We were both jogging silently while moving towards the gate, which would lead us to the outermost part of the village.
But as the gate started to near us, suddenly, my sister stopped.
I also stopped and looked at her.
"What happened?"
"We will be moving." My sister replied.
"Oh, ok."
After hearing my words, her hands moved as she grasped mine, her fingers intertwining.
'What is she going to do?' I thought, looking at her.
As I was thinking, what will happen? Suddenly, the surroundings changed.
