Chapter 520 - FOUR YEARS LATER (1/2)

In her heart, Kit cheered for herself. She would be a friend of this young man, she would accompany him no matter what happened, and make him feel that Kit was the only person who understood him. Kit could be so patient...

”I'm sorry too...” She was so excited that Kit's hand unconsciously touched Alaric's hand to show sympathy. However, for some reason, this time, Alaric didn't pull his hand away. He almost didn't feel Kit's skin touching his because surprisingly, that girl's skin was even softer than silk.

When the two of them regained their senses, Kit hurriedly pulled her hand away, ”Ah... Sorry... I'm sorry. I just remembered you don't like being touched.”

Alaric didn't answer. He didn't know whether it was because Kit's skin was so delicate that he didn't feel bothered, or it was because his body's condition had recently begun to improve and was now able to receive touch.

Alaric finally nodded slightly and excused himself, ”I have a lot of work, I hope you don't mind if I don't take you back to the dining room.”

Kit Blue could only look at Alaric's back, who left her to go to the West Wing of the palace. Even so, Kit was elated. She thought they were starting to get closer as he seemed to be willing to open up to her. He didn't even avoid her when she touched him.

Ah... Alright. You want to play hard to get... I don't mind, Kit thought.

Although she was very young, Kit had an intelligent brain. Thus, she knew that in order to get something valuable, one had to be willing to pay the price. Undoubtedly, the greater the value, the greater the price would be.

And she was ready to do anything to get Alaric. She wasn't in a hurry. The target was to win the man's trust and be the only woman who could touch him.

And when the time came, Kit would become his wife, affirming support for Alaric to become the clan leader. And together, they would rule the world.

All these thoughts made her chest expand because of happiness. Kit returned to the dining room with a radiant face.

FOUR YEARS LATER

.

That afternoon, Medici Castle looked festive by the laughter of two small children running around in the vast castle yard. Aleksis was sitting in a chair while reading and occasionally watching her two children.

Really, time flew by so fast. It felt as though it was only yesterday that she gave birth to them, but now her two children were already over nine years old.

Until now, the two's appearances were still exactly the same. Even though they weren't born as identical twins, Altair was still often regarded as a girl when they travel to the city.

In a few years' time, that will definitely change, thought Aleksis happily. Altair's body will definitely grow taller and bigger than his sister so that they will eventually be easily distinguished, and he didn't need to be constantly upset because he was often mistaken for a girl.
