Chapter 780 (1/2)
”Sister, are you going to some place far away?” Cole Kant's voice could be heard from behind Edith
She continued sorting out her clothes without turning her head back to her brother ”Not very far away I'll just hang around soion”
He ca will it take?”
”I don't know”
Cole started to look at the clothes piled on his sister's bed ”You didn't pick any for to visit some nobles or attend banquets?”
Edith gave hier observation power now, but you don't always have to tell the others everything you notice”
The boy winced at once and said, ”You were the one who taught me how to improve my observation ability”
”Now I'll teach you another thing When you're talking to a woraceful all the time and choose your words carefully, understand?”
”But you're my sister”

After quite a long while, he nodded and said, ”I'll be careful”
Their father had said that Cole was timid, irresolute and weak, therefore not a suitable heir for the Kant Fah to lead his knights to guard the domain as a lord, and if it artime, his style would easily put him in an invidious position
Edith knew another point that the duke had never mentioned
Cole Kant took after his father in personality
