Chapter 1347: A Resolution II
Lory lazily leaned her body on the sofa, both of her arms resting on the sofa’s armrest as she flipped through an old photo album with a mellow smile. She was glad that Fred decided to reprint their old photos because there were many moments in the pictures that she had forgotten until she saw them again.
"It feels like another life... well, maybe it is for me" Lory chuckled while muttering to herself.
Lory stared at their graduation photo with her brother and father. It was a personal photo taken spontaneously by Uncle Reynald, Lory captured the picture with her cellphone and smiled in satisfaction
Her eyes darted to the man who was sleeping soundly in front of her, after a while Lory closed the photo album then got up from the sofa and walked towards the bed.
She looked at the man who had a face similar to hers, she remembered when they were little their faces were indeed more similar until Fargo often teased Lucas that he looked like Lory when he wore a wig or vice versa teasing how similar Lory was to Lucas, Fargo said she looked like Lucas when Lucas wore a wig.
But now that they have grown up, their faces are indeed more different, but their resemblance is still clearly visible, especially with the exact same eyes and hair color, no one would think they are not siblings.
Lory sat on the edge of the bed and tidied Lucas’ bangs that covered his eyes while saying in a low voice "You look old... how can someone with abundance mana like you look this old, is it because you didn’t take care of yourself or is it because of me?"
Lory smiled wryly "I heard from Fredhardt and the others that you only sleep two or three hours a day, you know I find it hard to believe because I always have to wake you up so we won’t be late for school. I always remember you as a lazy bum who would not stand if you could lie down. I also remember you said to me when you become a King you will delegate all your work to Fred and the others so you will have time to rest but what did you do... what happened, is it because of me? I also find it hard to sleep after that day..."
Lory lifted her face to hold back her tears, after calming her emotions she looked at Lucas’ face with a gentle smile "I want to say I regret it but regret means I won’t do it again but if time repeated I know I would still do the same thing... but I do feel sorry, I’m sorry for all the pain I caused you and Fred, Fargo, Clift, and Jay, but mostly to you..."
