Why Are You So Disinterested In Affection?
Chapter 23

Liana sighed for the umpteenth time, the last time she read a book in the library to forget the time and cause chaos to get her stuck in a situation she hated.

This is where Liana now, sitting like a statue in her father's private workroom, in front of her there is a table presented with various kinds of snacks.

Aaron was busy with his files, occasionally glancing at Liana who was eating her snacks in annoyance.

Sean confirmed his thinly-laced glasses, standing silently beside Aaron's desk, with his hand constantly holding a stack of paper.

Speaking of the workspace, Alexia's arrival to the palace left a creepy impression for Liana.

How not, Alexia stayed for three days in the palace, and as long as every time she had the chance, she would stare at Liana with a gaze as if looking at prey, or meet him.

Her gaze was always like that of a predator watching her prey, Liana feigned ignorance and continued her usual activities, until it peaked on the third day.

Liana was practicing her sword secretly in the backyard of the main castle without her father's knowledge.

He trained with focus, until a sudden presence made him alert and directly attacked the person without saying anything.

Just as Liana's sword was about to hit the person's neck, Liana's sword blade stopped for a few pauses upon seeing who that person was.

"Lady Alexia, you surprised me" Liana sighed, she then sheathed her sword.

Alexia was just silent, her eyes looked thirsty, she suddenly approached, narrowing the distance between them.

"Daughter, have we met before?" liana's only modest height makes Alexia have to duck.

Liana looked up and stared indifferently upon hearing the question Alexia was asking.

"I think not, Lady Alexia, I think this is our first meeting" Liana replied without difficulty, her gaze looking relaxed.

"You're lying" Alexia distanced her body, her eyes looking even more thirsty again and again.

Liana scrunched her forehead, ah right, she forgot about the special ability that Alexia had.

Liana turned around indifferently, she did not want to expose something accidentally in front of Alexia.

"Lady Alexia, Daddy's looking for you, you better get going, he's the one who doesn't like waiting the most" Liana left Alexia there.

Liana sighed remembering that, the night she was terrorized by Alexia disguised as Scream.

In the morning, Alexia came to see him, and she handed him a small pouch that had no idea what it contained, Liana did not dare to open it timidly inside there was a sealed spirit.

Speaking of Scream, actually Scream is a beast that belongs to the mental category, its shape is described by the human body with the head of an animal.

About Liana said to have seen it once was not a lie, the nights she could not sleep decided to open the window, from a distance near the forest.

There was a large human figure with a deer head, his entire body covered in dense fur, and his eyes numbered three and shone in the darkness, actually not only the deer head, buffalo could also.

The creature was indeed creepy, but the sound of screams it released was extremely dangerous, it could make ordinary people who heard it go crazy even die.

The sound of the scream contains mana that will attack the mental prey, damaging the mental.

Now forget about Scream and Alexia, Liana really wanted to run away now, she was so bored!!

Brak!

"Ah sister, you're here as it turns out, Dad, I'll go with sister, see you later for dinner" Lorenzo barged in without any manners and then took Liana away just like that.

"Sister! Slow down!!" Liana could only give up, but she was also happy, she did not have to get stuck there bored.

"Sean, I remember that you haven't given a report on the palace's finances" Aaron said coldly.

Sean was only able to cry, when it was not his duty, it was the duty of ministers and empresses.ah Sean forgot, this empire does not have a queen now.

...

"Huahh, sis, thank goodness you broke in, I've died of boredom there, Dad won't even let me read a book"

Liana complained and thanked Lorenzo. Lorenzo just smiled a little, they went somewhere.

"Sister, I think they will return to the academy in three more days?" Liana tilted her head looking at Lorenzo.

"Yes, they're getting ready now" Lorenzo kept walking, until they got to the back of the castle where the twins lived.

They saw their third brother, Kaelis was swinging his wooden sword with a red aura enveloping him.

Liana widened her eyes, wasn't that? How could Kaelis use his sword technique?

The movement was perfect, only it was harder than his technique which looked soft, sharp, and faster.

Nah!

The wooden sword was aimed at Liana's neck that was still riveted, while Lorenzo was only able to see with cold sweat.

"Oh, I thought you were intruders, what are you here for?" Kaelis still had a red aura enveloping her.

"Ah we–" before Lorenzo explained, Liana had already opened her mouth first.

"Where did you learn this technique? It even gave off a sword aura that was never seen in the empire?" liana's tone was so cold.

Lorenzo could feel the temperature around him start to drop by a few degrees.

"Tell me, explain it to me" Liana's eyes shone with a cold and dangerous light, making Kaelis' instincts scream.

"Sister, calm down" Lorenzo patted Liana gently on the shoulder, he tried to calm his sister who suddenly had a bad mood.

Kaelis heaved a sigh of relief as the surrounding temperature started to warm up again, also the cold gaze that Liana gave off had vanished.

“A-what was that? I'm like facing an angry Dad, but it's more dangerousThe inner” of Kaelis with a cold sweaty back.

"Sir Enzo, I'll just come back, see you later" Liana left just like that, her mood dropped, she wanted to hit something now.

Lorenzo sighed, the more he felt, the more Liana looked like their father, equally easy to have an erratic mood.

Also Liana looked more like her father than their meek mother.

"Is he really like that?" Kaelis put away her wooden sword, looking at Lorenzo curiously.

"Somehow, just find out for yourself" Lorenzo returned to his indifferent self, he shrugged his shoulders and then left from there, without saying any parting words.

Kaelis was confused, Lorenzo was warm, but now he was cold and indifferent.

"Well... Dad, why are all your kids so weird?" Kaelis complained.

Wait, that means you're weird, too, Kaelis. Because you're also your father's son.
