Chapter 147: Me Too!
"Why can’t I come again?"
I rolled my eyes at Eddie who was busy standing in a corner watching as Heather packed my luggage for mount Callum which were mostly just white dresses. The sister of the earth believe in purity. It’s a little bit stupid if you ask me but it is a rule that once you get to mount Callum you have to behave like the purest of the soul, like being born again and live a sinless life in order to be blessed by Naktus. I honestly do not believe the whole stories I’ve heard about the sisters of light, I mean reading it in a book was different but going to see it in person was different.
I still thought the whole thing about the sisters of light was just a convenient excuse to keep the women away from society which I have no problem with since the society hasn’t always been fair to women. But then I guess I should be glad that I was going to be visiting an historical moment.
I sighed as I stared up at Eddie, "I already explained to you that you need to stay and keep up with the rebels, they need to see the black knight, so you are staying because..."
"Because you need me to keep up with the hoax!" Eddie finished while grumbling under his breath.
"Besides, I do not think white is exactly your color" Heather said from where she was while Eddie pouted as he gazed at us with those eyes he always used to make us feel guilty.
"You truly wound this poor man’s heart Heather." Eddie said holding his chest in a dramatic way as if Heather had grabbed a dagger and threw it at his heart instead, "Besides white brings out authentic radiance which resides within me."
Heather shared a look with me before she turned to look at Eddie, "Now those are a lot of big words for such a small man."
Eddie’s ears turned pink at the tip but he straightened. "I am not that small besides, I have been reading a lot, Sir Reagan has been giving me books to read, so it helps a lot."
"Oh well, well, well, well, look at you!" Heather praised Eddie while I smiled inside about Reagan’s thoughtfulness.
Making sure Eddie gets a proper education has been on my mind and I was grateful it wasn’t just me. Although, I’ll still need to get him into school so he could get the proper education he needs.
