"It's been a week and my brother still hasn't come back… If this keeps up, the house is going to die soon," Alice grumbled, slumped over the couch.
It had been a week since her brother left, and from the very first day, his absence was noticeable. There was no one left to nag her, tease her, or even play with her.
"The house isn't dying, you know that, right?" Liana said with a sarcastic tone while reading the book in her hand.
"Mom, you know just as well as I do that staying home is getting ridiculous," Alice didn't even bother arguing with her mother.
Besides, she needed her brother to come back so they could finally talk to their mom about moving to the capital.
Her membership in the Falling Sun Guild had been officially approved, and now the only thing left was to go to the capital.
This time, Liana didn't respond. She just sighed. She felt like her son had decided to go to the Celestial Domain out of anger toward her that day.
