28 Chapter 10: The Change 2 (1/2)

We soon arrived at my bedroom.

I watch her from the corner of my eyes as I opened the door of my wardrobe. ”Go ahead, choose whatever you want.”

She just quirks her lips in a corner momentarily and then steps inside.

I closed the door behind her and waited.

After few minutes, the door opens.

I glances at it and she steps out anxiously wearing a fashion that suits him well. ”I'm relieved to see it fits.” I told her as she just sighed.

”Let's go see Miss Cidd,” I walked towards the main door and opened it for her.

”What if someone sees me like this?” She asks, shuffling her collar and sleeves.

”We'll just say we're playing around.”

”I really do hope we can find a way to revert this. We have a banquet tonight after all. Plus I don't think Mama will be pleased if she finds out she now have two sons. She might even cry! I don't want to bring them headache today.”

On the other hand, I think Papa and even uncle will be ecstatic, I thought to myself.

I just nodded at her. ”Don't worry, if Miss Cidd can't do anything about it I'm sure Levi will gladly help. Otherwise it's his loss...”

—their engagement will surely be cancelled if Aerra will be stuck like that forever.

Then again, that sounds like a great idea.

Having a male twin is better perhaps.

At least there aren't any fools that keeps appearing to ask for her hand in marriage.

We first headed to the Research Center inside the castle, a little to the southernmost wing from the upper bailey.

To our dismay, Miss Cidd is no where in sight.

So we tried asking the scholars present in the area but no one was capable of providing information we needed regarding the new research materials.

”Let's just go to Levi” I concluded as Aerra just frowned. ”What is it?” I asked.

She just looked at the ground for a brief moment, I can see her fist clenching on her sides, and then finally she looked at me. ”It's nothing. It can't be helped after all. Let's go see him. ”

Hmm.

Is she actually anxious about being seen by Levi in this form?

We head back to the main halls and towards the antechamber where me and the other guys agreed to meet.

I glance at Aerra as she just eyed me tentatively, as if asking me why I'm looking, her brows arched up, waiting for me to talk.

”We are actually planning to go to the city, tour around and perhaps visit the towns at the outskirts. Would you want to join us?”

She seemed delighted at the idea, ”Of course! But my form—!”

I shook my head, ”Don't worry, I have a feeling that won't be permanent.”

And if it is, I will gladly accept that I now have a male twin.

'Celebrate' is more like it.
