Aki finally reached the sofa and took his seat and then started sneaking secret glances at Yuki, as if, he wanted to say something but didn't know if it was okay to do so...
Yuki knew that he wanted to ask something, but she won't help this time... becoming too dependent on someone else for the decision in your life can be a bad habit, and it was because he was a child, Aki should learn to speak for himself.
Yuki waited for a while before once again going back to the kitchen to bring fruits, it' s just that when she turned her back at him, she felt like this time she had an auditory hallucination, she could swear on it that she actually heard the weak cry of a puppy who was abandoned by its master this time, 'What the hell is wrong with this world? ', was the frustrated thought of the young girl.
By the time she came back with some fruits, Aki had finally made up his mind; it hasn't been an hour since the two met, but it seems he had already accepted her as his own, though he was still nervous and scared to be left alone, he had a feeling that his Onee-chan was not such a person.
" mmm... Onee-chan? ", he asked in a shaky voice.
"Hm? ", Yuki wasn't used to his way of calling her, but she didn't have any revulsion towards it and let it be...
" Are those little beings called fish? ", he had a small sparkle in his eyes as he pointed towards the small aquarium.
Yuki stopped her motion of peeling a banana for the little boy for a second, at this moment looking at the kid, she really wanted to curse at those human beings who they were supposed to call parents, 'if you've no plan to help your children grow up, why give birth to them in the first place? Was continuing your blood that important? Why should a child suffer for your ego? '
Yuki was usually a laid back person, she had stopped expecting anything since the day she was born, she treated those people as strangers and led a life with her own goals and plans, she didn't reject the tutors only because what she needed now was knowledge and skills, they will never betray her and will become her weapons, she was given it for free why bother rejecting them?
She didn't care enough because she knew what she wanted in her life; she will get a job that pays well, work and when she had enough money, going around the world was not a bad choice, right?
But this child was different... When this boy had followed her, she knew that this child needed attention and care, he wanted someone to stay by his side, he wanted a family... like every child his age did!
She was definitely not an empathetic person but for the first time, she felt a deep sense of anger towards this world... This child didn't deserve such treatment.
She could already guess what went wrong?
It wasn't a joke when she said that she liked books and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that, she was a genius who worked hard towards her goals!
This child was probably an Omega!
She could guess it from his build and stature, but the main reason was that from the moment she touched his hand accidentally a while ago, her headache had actually subsided... this was probably Aki using his magic unconsciously and also because he wasn't taught to control it...
She also easily guessed the reason behind this... in the eyes of their proud Alpha of a mother, he was nothing but an eyesore; an incompetent person who was even worse than her, who was a beta without magic.
Their mother hated Omegas more than anything else, it was the reason why the mansion didn't have a single omega worker even though it was made mandatory for nobles to take care of some omegas in the name of 'for society's prosperity'. It was her looking down on the gender from her high above the position as an Alpha.
This child had an eloquent but rough speech, his posture was a counterfeit of their mother, it was clear that he was copying her... Within the same house, it wasn't hard for these two to meet, this boy did what kids his age normally do, they liked to copy their adults, but what happened if said adult didn't even treat this child as a person? The answer was probably a 'brutal childhood' that would cast a shadow on their future.
At the thought of it, even the always calm girl shuddered in disgust...
It was this moment that Yuki had decided to take this child under her wings, she knew it wasn't something that she would do at normal times, but she didn't have a place to vent her anger so, let's serve our revenge cold...she will wait till this child grows up, she will make him grow into a good and respected person who was not weak and someone who the world could be proud of.... and slap the faces of those adults with his merits... It wasn't out of empathy, it was just her childish ego of taking revenge against this absurd treatment.
...
Now that she had decided on this, she will work towards it, she was a decisive person after all.
She will start the change from this point!!
