New Way 6

Lia took a deep breath before saying, "I'm sorry but my teeth hurt, I'm not allowed to eat candy."

The boy made an 'Oh' with his mouth and then retracted the case, "Sis, you don't brush your teeth regularly?"

"I didn't but now I'm taking more care of it."

"That's good, sis!"

Lia had no idea what she was doing having a conversation with this strange boy but for now, it didn't seem like he could harm her.

Lia quietly moved to the window while making sure the boy wouldn't run away. There were no soldiers currently.

"Sis, are you hiding?" from behind, Lia heard his voice.

"Why do you think so?"

Suddenly the boy's eyes turned sad. His light brown hair fell over his face as he lowered his head, "Is sis a bad person? My sis is a bad person."

What? Lia didn't understand but for some reason the boy was sad. His sis… was it his real sister?
