Katherine stiffened. "Count Jonathas..."
Sophanes nodded. "Yes, your brother. He often speaks of you, though I never expected to meet you like this. He said his sister was bright, talented, and full of surprises. It seems he wasn't exaggerating."
Katherine stood speechless for a moment. Brother? Aunt Yevon's husband was Count Jonathas—her brother. She'd been addressing Aunt Yevon incorrectly all this time. She wasn't her aunt; she was her sister-in-law.
"I… see," Katherine finally managed, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Sophanes."
Sophanes chuckled. "It seems the Sylvaine family never runs out of surprises."
Brother... she indeed had a brother, but that was in her previous world. Weird gadgets, same features, lost in this world... could it be?
"Hmm... I remember he said the name is..." Professor Sophanes tried to recall. "Noraleigha."
"Oh..." It is her brother.
