About two months has passed since the time me and Sis first started reading together.
Just like I wanted, it actually became routine between the three of us. Both Sis actually sometimes skips training on certain days to read books as well. As I mentioned before, Elendor was a book about a young elven noble of a small kingdom, dreaming of reuniting all elven tribes and kingdoms to form an empire.
At first I expected a classic epic of a hero who is great in battle, going out to meet every tribe and battling them before having them pledge their allegiance to him. But the epic actually dove much deeper than that. Rather than focusing on the actual battles, it instead told us of the politics behind it.
Why didn't the kingdom just send the Duke with the most military achievements, to lead all of the kingdom's forces? Well, it's because of politics. The other nobles were worried that the Duke would become even more powerful if he raised any more achievements than he already has. Thus the kingdom's forces were instead lead by the Duke and other high ranking nobles, who often disagreed with him.
When the kingdom learned of a 'small' rebellion in the north, many nobles sent their inexperienced sons to lead their banners to take home the glory of war. They expected that the big shots would be able to handle it themselves, thus they just joined to reap the harvests.
It also told of the logistical difficulties and how bad logistics could make a powerful army crumble in its own weight.
It seemed to have woken Sister Liliana up from her military fantasies. The dreams of slaying a hundred enemies all by yourself was suddenly gone. There was no 'champion' or 'hero' in the battlefield. No matter how much training someone does, a loose arrow to the throat or the head would kill someone.
There was only so much an individual could do, even the kingdom's most powerful knight was slain, not a very heroic death as well. He was wounded by a poisoned blade and died before getting proper treatment. It wasn't like his enemy was some sort of master swordsman either, just a peasant soldier, in desperate measures hoped to atleast take him down with him and succeeded.
After reading such things, Liliana slowly realized that strength wasn't everything Luna and i tried to tell her that but she didn't listen to us . So instead of dedicating all her time to training like she always did, she would sometimes read about the geography of the country, sometimes about political theories, sometimes she would come to me in my garden and ask about which plants are poisonous and what not.
I was also pretty surprised by the sudden change in Sister's mentality, and I was worried that she wouldn't remain so 'innocent' for long. So I decided to speed things up.
"So this is actually edible Sis. It's pretty easy to spot as well, you can usually find them near bodies of water" I said as I taught my sister about which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not
It was currently dusk and the sky was getting pretty dark
"Oh I see." Liliana said as she took their images to heart
"That should be enough for today Sis~ Also I have something I want to show you and Luna " I said
"Really? What is it?" Liliana asked as she saw my excitement
"Shhhhh, we can't let Mom know~" I said as I urged her to keep her voice down
" Do you remember Sis I found some humans the other day and killed them and we got some coins as reward ." I whispereed
" Human who tried to take some elfs as slave ?" Luna said in shock, Well it's not a surprise. As a kid, even Mom told me that you should NEVER trust humans. They said that they would try to befriend you first, and if that didn't work they will forcibly take you away.
Not to mention the 'kill-on-sight' order we have in the village. So both Sis has some 'slight' prejudice against them.
"Did you strugle against them when fighting "
"No, I was able to kill them pretty easily don't worry~" I said as I waved my hands saying I was ok
"Good, they deserved it."
"yeah you did the right thing by killing them"
Yeah 'slight' prejudice.
They didn't even bat an eye on the fact that their younger brother just killed someone. To them it was like saying 'No' to the strange man asking you to get inside the ice-cream truck.
"They're not important Sis, but instead~" I said as I took out the bottle of Wine that I looted from them
After taking it, I made sure to keep it in a dark and cool place, to preserve it a little bit longer.
"Look Sis, I got Wine~ the same thing the people on those stories drink~" I said
"What? Let me see~" Sis said as she held the bottle
"But Uncle Leo said that we shouldn't drink this until we're older..." Sis said in worry
Truthfully, I didn't really care about what would happen to the bottle. In fact, I would like to avoid being drunk as much as possible. Just the possibility of my inner thoughts being leaked out, made me shiver in fear.
"Yeah, maybe we should hide it?" I asked
"Un, that's probably better" Both sis agreed
"But I have another thing I actually got~" I said as I brought out a book with a red leather cover
There were the words 'Mary' written in the cover. I tried my best to make it look like an actual book, as I tied the book cover myself. I also wrote 'written by jack William ', as well as adding a 'This book is dedicated to' section. I made sure it looked like as real as it could be.
"I also got a book from them~" I said,
"Well what is it about?" Sis said in curiosity
"I haven't read it yet, I wanted to read it with you like before~" I said as I handed it over to her
"Let's save it for later okay? Let's eat dinner first" she said as she took it with her
-------------------
"Mom, Lith will be reading with me again for tonight, okay?" Liliana said as she finished her food
"Oh my~ you really changed haven't you? Well go for it, just don't bring food in the bedroom again okay?" Mom said
"Un, we're sorry about last time." Sis apologized
After we succeeded on bringing cookies the first time, Sis got more bold and decided to prepare sandwiches. Of course, that time Mom caught her, and finally asked what we were doing every night. So Sis confessed about our late-night reading sessions, and Mom kind of supported it since then.
"Well, goodnight Mom~"
"Goodnight mom~" Both said as they went upstairs first
"Goodnight also Mom~ Me and Sis will be learning lots, okay?" I said as I kissed Mom on the lips, before heading upstairs myself
Of course, I wasn't planning to fuck Sister tonight, not when Mom is sleeping in the room just next to us. Also we probably won't reach the sex scenes tonight anyway, since it's at the middle part of novel. But Sis would be training tomorrow, so I have plenty of chances to read ahead of her before 'spoiling' her about future events.
"Well, let's get this book started shall we?" Luna said when she show me enter the room I once again saw her and Liliana sitting at the floor, but although I've seen them sit like this for months now. There was something a little bit different today. I know it's just me, but Liliana and luna looked more beautiful in my eyes right now.
As I went beside Luna , I gave her a deep kiss on the lips. She was first shocked by the sudden kiss, before she just went along with me as she closed her eyes. We've been doing this for years now, so there wasn't anything strange for them after kissing Luna i kissed Liliana to .
"Fufu~ I always thought that reading books were pretty lame, but luckily you convinced me otherwise." Liliana said in a grateful manner, before opening the book
The book started with a quote:
"I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrows for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I only love what they defend."
Something I definitely didn't steal from someone else. Yup yup. I needed something that would make it seem like a military Comic so that is what I remembered.
"It's different it is drawing and word are written on box"Luna said
"But i liked it you liked it to right "Liliana said
luna nodded
"Maybe human don't like noly reading so they draw to " i said
We continued reading, and Both Sis was really engrossed on the first parts. As I thought something with Military and protecting one's family really resonated with Sis.
"'Mary then shot an arrow, but unfortunately it landed just outsi-' Nooo~ you're so close already, how do you miss that?" Sis said in dissatisfaction
At this point she was basically inserting herself into the comic . After all, I practically made the MC with her in my mind, or more accurately, her image of herself. She probably sees herself as someone who is strong and independent. Someone who is quiet but actually cares a lot for her family. Someone who does her duty as the older sibling.
So that's what I made the MC like.
I also made the MC's brother based on the preferences she told me; Black hair, violet eyes, and likes to read books. Which is eerily similar to 'someone' I know, but I won't comment on it.
We continued reading the book as we switched turns reading it out loud. When we were finally getting closer to the sex chapters-
"Hey Sis, it's already pretty late~" I said as I finished reading a chapter out loud.
"Really? I didn't notice~" she said as she looked at the clock
"One last thing then, I didn't quite hear the line her brother said last time. Could you please say it out loud?" Sis requested,
I actually felt pretty bad at first, because I thought my speaking skills were subpar. But then I actually read out the parts she meant-
"In case you forget my dear Sister, ever since you were gone, there was never a moment that I wasn't thinking of you not even single second "
"And the other one?" Sis said as she told me of another line she didn't 'quite hear'.
"May the way I look at you The way I speak with you and the way I treat you reflect the truth..."
"That I have loved you since forever."
"I see..." Liliana nodded her head like she was listening to music
"That should be enough for tonight" Luna said with a smile
"I think so too" I said as I put away the book
"Actually Lith, that book doesn't belong to the library right?" Sis asked
"Un"
"Could you then give it to your Sister instead? I mean it's not like it belongs to you either" She said with a red face
"You've never asked me for a book before..." I mumbled
"I just thought that I like this one's ehem, 'plot' I think I could try rereading it, once I'm done" she said shamelessly
We haven't even gotten to the good parts yet, and she already likes it this much. Well she will appreciate it more, once she has the 'knowledge' to truly comprehend this shitty fanfiction.
"Sure Sis, but seriously let's go to sleep already" I said as I put it away on her bookshelf before going into the bed with her.
