Book 19: Chapter 14
Liu Yue blocked Freya off at the door: “Miss Freya, you don’t need to come with us here, do you…?
Freya gave Liu Yue a smile. She looked at the four sisters, who entered the room, and pointed at herself: “Are you sure you’re not fooling me? You want to send me away and then do something, don’t you? Bear in mind that my brother just refused you. Given your personalities, I’m sure you’re planning something.”
Liu Yue “Of course we won’t! We’re obedient!! Sister Freya, you have to believe us! We’ve never disappointed Dad!”
“That’s hard to say,” chaffed Freya, giggling. She then bowed: “Since that is your request, I shall obey. In saying that, I’ll wait here. While I don’t possess the enhanced hearing of an elf, I can still hear what you’re doing inside; therefore, don’t try anything crafty, okay?”
“Okay…”
Liu Yue gently shut the door. She then sent Vera a signal. Vera waved her hand: “Done, I’ve cast the spell. Sister Freya won’t be able to hear us now. Okay, okay, let’s think about what to do now, especially what to do with him.”
Vera pointed at the exhausted youngster, who curled up by the corner of the wall with a dumbstruck look. Liu Yue sat down on Vera’s bed. She opened Vera’s cupboard and rummaged through it: “While you have lots of clothes, it doesn’t fit. I’m sure there’s one I can fit in, though.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?!”
“Accompanying Dad to Troy City, of course,” answered Liu Yue, who then turned around and forlornly exhaled. “What can we do? Dad has said ‘no’. What? Are you planning on disobeying Dad?”
