Chapter 473 - Four Hundred And Seventy-three: I Failed (1/2)

The third point of view:

Ailee was roused from her sleep when her brother Allen hopped onto her bed, causing it to dip from his weight.

”Come on Ailee, stop being a sleepyhead, let's play,” the boy began to pull her up. Why was his sister such a lazy ass?

”Get off me, you nuisance!” Aille hollered, annoyed at being woken up. Everyone in the household knew how much she treasured her sleep like her mother Reina and unless it was for school, nobody dared to wake her in fear of being on the receiving end of her wrath.

Fortunately for her, the school was over for the term and it happened to be the summer holidays, which means it was a long vacation - she could sleep all she wanted. Well, that was the plan until Allen interfered.

”Oof!” Allen was smacked off the bed with her pillow. As if nothing happened, the girl went back to sleep or tried to. She couldn't connect to the spirit realm easily thanks to her brother's disruption.

”I can't seem to go back to sleep!” She screamed at Allen specifically, gripping her hair.

”That's a good thing,” Allen smiled, ”Now, we can play,”

”Ugh!!!!” Ailee felt like tearing her brother limb to limb. He was frustrating her life. Of all people she had to have as a twin, why was it him? Why couldn't it be Neon?

Like a telepathic pull, Neon came over to her side as if he sensed she needed him. He simply picked the pillow from the floor - the one she had smacked Allen with - and said, ”Don't worry, I'll lull you back to sleep,”

”How?!” Ailee didn't mean to bark at him, but she was vexed at the moment.

”You'll see,” Neon said, climbing into bed with her.

”Hey, Neon, what are you doing -” Allen was silenced by his sister's murderous glare - her illusionary red eye was so frightening.

Infuriated, the boy stomped his feet and went over to the other bed opposite hers. How could Neon be so unfaithful? Doesn't he know about their bro code? Brothers support brothers before sisters. So irritating.

Fine, It was not like he could send Ailee back to sleep anyway. He would watch and at last, victory would be his.

”How would you send me back to sleep?” Ailee asked him. Both laid sideways on the bed, staring right into each other's eyes.

”I'm going to tell you a story,” Neon said, tucking her hair away from her face. Her eyes were beautiful. He could stare into it all day.

”How is a story going to make me sleep?” She was amused by his tactics.

”I'm a bad storyteller, you'd get bored to sleep,”

”I doubt so,” She smiled at him, ”But let's hear it, storyteller,” Ailee adjusted herself, bringing the sheet up to their chin so it covered both of them properly.

”In a land of magic and anything possible,” Neon began, ”There lived a princess - actually, the most beautiful princess in the kingdom. She had brown hair and pretty black Obsidian eyes -”

”Why do I feel you're describing me?” Ailee interrupted him

”Because I'm using you as my character,” was his response.

”Fine, go on, it's fine since I'm the beautiful princess,” she was pleased.
