Chapter 173 How To Have A Family Reunion
Floid walked deeper into his room and stood over his sister's unconscious body with a curious look. Rosavellt was able to put Quinn in a numbed state so that Quinn wouldn't feel the intense pain from the Mana drain. Quinn couldn't feel any pain in her chest anymore even though she was still dying. The skill that Rosavellt used was like an anesthetic that removed all feeling in Quinn's chest area, but it didn't stop the effects of the mana drain from killing Quinn.
Quinn was asleep but Floid wanted to wake her up so Floid pulsed his Mana and made it fill the room.
"Ugh!"
Quinn groaned once she felt the intense mana in the atmosphere and she turned her head to the side and opened her eyes groggily. Her vision was not yet clear, so when she looked at Floid standing there with his white hair and prestige white robes, she immediately thought she was in heaven and an angel was looking down at her. Was she dead? The angel staring at her was very handsome, so maybe death wasn't so bad after all. She could finally rest. Immediately Quinn thought that she was dead, she was so happy because, for the first time in her life, she doesn't have to worry about beating Floid or impressing her father. She could just rest!
But the reality was very different from when she was thinking!
As her vision cleared and she started to get a good look at who was in front of her, Quinn's eyes widened and she could feel her hands shaking. She tried to move her body, but it was impossible to move! Her throat became dry and she instinctively looked away from Floid's eyes and stared at his nose instead. Floid grinned with wickedness.
"Hello, sister,"
That voice! That voice was real! This isn't a dream! Quinn tried to move immediately but she found that she still couldn't! Nothing was holding her to the bed, but the anesthesia was making her numb and she couldn't move any of her limbs! But even the anesthesia in her body couldn't stop her from shaking! What was Floid doing here!? What was he doing in this room!? In this world!? Didn't that stupid queen tell me that he was dead!?
"You don't seem too happy to see me, sister. Even after I went through all that trouble to find you and bring you here, I thought this would be a happier moment for us. After all, it's a family reunion, isnt it?"
That wicked smile was still on Floid's lips and Quinn still couldn't look him in the eye. Floid just laughed when he didn't receive a response from Quinn and he turned around and started to walk toward his wardrobe. Floid knew that she would be too shocked to talk so he wasn't surprised by her silence.
Quinn used to think that Floid was the hero in this world and that he died a long time ago. If you suddenly see your presumably dead sibling in front of you, it's unlikely that you would have anything to say either.
Quinn just kept watching Floid as he walked away and she tried to figure out where she was. The last thing she remembered is being with the army! They were under attack from the demons and everyone was preparing for the evacuation! But then... What happened? Quinn tried to remember what happened to her and her eyes widened when she remembered the pain she felt in her chest! There was a small throb in her chest as her mind told her just how much pain she was in! What fhe hell happened to me?
And why can't I feel my body? Was I paralyzed?
We were under attack from demons, right? There was a lot of fighting, and then I remember being taken away by a tall woman with horns on her head. Wait, wasn't that woman a demon!? And floid said he was the one that sent people to get her! So that meant that Floid is...
There was a thought that crossed Quinn's mind! A stupid thought that made her want to laugh at her stupidity. But she couldn't laugh because no matter how stupid seemed, the thought she had was the most likely reality! Quinn knew the sort of person Floid was and she knew that if Floid was ever going to be a part of this world then there is no way he would be a good person! Why would someone like Floid bother trying to save people? He doesn't even like humans and he despises everything that humanity represents.
Why was I foolish enough to believe that my brother would be a hero!? He's a demon! A fucking demon!!
"W-Where am I?"
Quinn's voice rang out softly in the room and Floid chuckled a little as he took off his robe. Quinn saw the pronounced muscles on Floid's back and she blushed heavily and took her eyes away from her brother's naked body.
Quinn and Floid were never really that close as siblings and so Quinn wasn't used to seeing Floid naked. She was surprised by how fit Floid looked. If you only look at his face, you wouldn't think his body was so ripped, but there was no denying that his body was at the peak of physical perfection!
Floid put on a white shirt and a white pair of trousers before he turned around while arranging his collar properly. Floid walked across the room and took a seat at the table beside the bed before turning to face his sister again. His movement and his attitude were so nostalgic and Quinn couldn't help but think about how similar Floid was to their father! There was a little bit of annoyance and anger that rose inside her as she had this thought and she tried to remove it from her head immediately! She didn't want to think about the father at all! Quinn looked back at Floid and she saw him giving her a curious look. He was probably wondering what was going through her head at that time.
Quinn couldn't stare at Floid for too long without looking away because of his eyes. He still had that cruel look in his eyes that would make anyone shiver if they look at him for too long. Even if Floid was almost the same as their father, he was somehow more regal and far more cruel than their father! He had this intense look in his eyes that was constantly taking in everything around him! Like he was searching for any clues to use against any challenge he could face! It was a look that made Quinn think he was looking down at her and she didn't like that look at all!
"Don't look at me like that,"
Quinn was the one that said this but she couldn't believe that those words left her mouth. Even after she heard the words leave her lips, she still wondered what made her say them! Couldn't she even control her own lips anymore!? Quinn made sure not to look at Floid and she waited for him to do something. She knew that she should look at him, but for some reason, she still couldn't look into his eyes for more than a few moments. Quinn felt like that little girl that was afraid of her younger brother all over again.
I told myself that I wouldn't act like this anymore, but why can't I just look at him!?
After Quinn told Floid not to look at her, he rose a brow in confusion and surprise. Floid didn't think that Quinn would have the guts to try and command him. Floid would have been impressed if she wasn't still looking away from him like a scared puppy! He commanded Quinn to look at him and Quinn didn't even bother to turn around! Floid narrowed his eyes in anger and he flared his Mana again as he commanded her this time with a stern tone!
"I told you to fucking look at me, Quinn,"
Quinn felt a shiver pass through her body as Floid's Mana filled up the entire room and she didn't have a choice but to turn and look at him immediately. Quinn hated the power he had over her at this moment! She hated everything about this situation! But what could she do about it? She couldn't even move her body! She had been trying to move her body for the last few minutes and there wasn't any response from her limbs! She was stuck here!
