Chapter 41: Nadia’s mindset… what’s a sibling?
Chapter 41
Yet she felt angry now that Oliver was in front of her…
And her reason for anger?
Was it really due to the fact that she thought he was looking down on her by giving her another precious medicine or elixir?
Was it due to the fact that he had ignored her previous warnings to not come here again and he ignored her and came again that made her feel he did not take her seriously?
Or…
Was it that she was angry because if he kept on coming here again and again, their mother would find out…?
Was it that she was angry because he kept giving her those precious potions, elixirs, and whatnot instead of using them himself, for his own strength?
Why… just when she would feel she has finally become what her mother expected of her, she would again come at the starting point.
It always was because of him…
Did she feel angry because of this?
She did not know… she was supposed to be the vessel for being the best exorcist, yet she could not even control herself.
“Leave…”
She did not want to be in his presence anymore, or she would just feel pressured.
She could still remember how she had cried in front of him so shamefully.
Oliver was silent as he saw her complicated expression; he was not a fool and understood her condition.
He wanted to help her, but knowing his own lack of strength and his mother’s strong ambitions, he chose to remain silent for the moment.
Plus, he was not sure how the plot would change; he had already made many changes, and he was sure that Nadia would definitely grow stronger than she was in the novel.
He shook his head and felt her trouble; he also wanted to get her stronger as he could also rely on her and become stronger quicker.
But she wouldn’t just take his help for reasons he was not sure about.
“Will you really not take it? I had to go through many troubles just to acquire this.”
Oliver asked her in a small tone; he wanted her to know that this thing was not ordinary and could boost her strength significantly.
Nadia raised her head and looked at the syringe containing the seaweed-green liquid.
She knew nothing of it; she had not yet read about this medicine or elixir or whatever miraculous it was supposed to be.
For a moment, a desire rose in her heart, the desire to take it and become stronger so she could stand proud in front of her mother and earn her praise more.
But she suppressed herself and decided not to accept it.
She had no doubt that if it was something that great, then her clan would provide her with it someday when her mother deemed her worthy for it.
She would not accept another favor from him; it felt embarrassing to her. She hadn’t even made it equal to him after the body-strengthening elixir she had received from him last time.
Although she knew that she was definitely not inferior to him in terms of strength, she knew if she took things from him like this, then sooner or later, she might feel the opposite way due to her pride.
She did not question him either on how he got his hands on such items. If possible, she wanted minimal interactions with him and know less of him.
Otherwise, she might not be able to contain the budding curiosity in her heart about him.
“Fine. If that’s how you want to be.”
Oliver was too lazy to force her either; not to mention, he also didn’t like being treated like this again and again. Every time he met her, she would always want him to leave and not come back.
He knew of her circumstances a little, but even so, being told ‘no’ repeatedly made him annoyed.
He always told himself that he was mature and did this for the benefits of both of them.
He looked at her once again, seeing her straight face, he knew that she was suppressing herself, he was never the best when dealing with people emotionally.
He was also not a protagonist who could understand others feeling with a glance and a few words from him would directly make the female lead bring out of depression.
He was just a side-character.
He sighed, “Anyways, you don’t need to feel embarrassed in receiving things from me in the future. We are twins; I am your brother, and this is not a favor that I’m doing for you, but rather treat them as a gift from me to help you improve faster. There are no favors done here; this is how a normal sibling relationship works.”
He further said, “Remember, there are no favors done between us; if you ever need help, you can always visit me. Well, I might be sounding ridiculous considering my meager strength, but trust me, not everything is solved by brute force.”
“Also, I am a very intelligent kid as my tutors say so…”
Finally, he put the syringe back into his pocket as he left, “I’ll leave for now. Think about it with a calm mind; you should be able to come to a conclusion. I’ll visit some other time.”
With that, Oliver left under her somewhat shocked gaze. Although he had not succeeded in giving her the essence this time, he believed he had given a valuable lesson that might help her understand others more in the future.
He felt bitter about going through so much trouble only to be rejected, but he understood that this was life, the protagonist would give stuff to female lead and she would always accept?
Ridiculous, those female leads were just poorly brought out with no personality of their own.
___________
Nadia saw him silently leaving; his earlier words were still ringing in her ears.
No favors. Only gifts?
She had never thought of it this way; her mother had always taught her that she should never owe others no matter what.
As the heiress of the Mystic Purge Clan, she could not fall so low as to accept others’ favors as it would only tarnish her image in front of others.
So why did she feel such a strong emotion when he mentioned that there were no favors done between them? Her chest felt warm, and her eyes were fuzzy; overall, it was a comfortable feeling that she never experienced in her cold life.
Normal sibling relationship…
She looked at the gates of her courtyard from where he had left and could not help but wonder if this was how twins behaved?
Was this the feeling of being normal? Was it right for someone belonging to the Mystic Purge clan to be normal?
Was it normal for siblings to help each other like this? Did normal siblings really have no favors between them but just gifts? She didn’t know.
But she felt that he might be right…
She should focus on her growth and become stronger to find out if he was really right or not.
She touched her heart to feel it beating fast; she felt comfortable and wanted to remember this feeling if possible.
A sibling… what was it?
