Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 92

Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones laughed when they saw the two siblings quarreled with each other. Mrs. Jones looked at Riya and said, "Don’t mind them. This happens every single time."

"Yes, Auntie." Riya smiled in response.

She would not mind this. After all, Amelia had quarreled a lot in the past with their other friends too.

"Alright, alright, let’s stop and finish the meal." Mr. Jones looked at the two children and said authoritatively.

"Yes, Father."

The two children immediately stayed quiet. They knew better than anyone that they should never challenge their father’s majesty unless they wanted to ask for a beating.

Everyone quickly finished their meal and Riya bid her farewell to everyone.

"Are you not going to stay here?" Mrs. Jones asked, feeling a bit of pity. She knew how good the relationship between Riya and Amelia were and would be worried if Riya stayed outside.

"I don’t think it’ll be appropriate, Auntie," Riya said helplessly.

Besides, she could guess that Samuel wouldn’t be happy if there were outsiders in his home. Rather than asking for trouble, it would be better for Riya to go. Besides, she would not stay in the base for now.

"Alright." Mrs. Jones sighed and patted Riya’s shoulder. She then turned to look at Amelia. "Send her off and don’t let anyone bully her."

Amelia: ???

She was sure that with the skills that Riya showed to her, whoever dared to bully Riya would be asking for trouble.

But she said nothing and agreed to her mother’s words.

The two girls walked to the courtyard and slowly made their way to the half constructed wall. The sound of gunshots could still be heard from time to time but their frequency had been reduced greatly. It seemed that the battle should be over.

"Which way do you want to go?" Amelia asked.

"Just this." Riya pointed to a different entrance from the one where they came. After all, there was Samuel there and Riya didn’t want to explain about her ability the second time.

"Alright, remember to be careful." Amelia looked at Riya and then asked, "What should I say if my brother asks about you?"

"Huh?" Riya was confused when she heard Amelia’s question. "Why would he ask about me?"

Even Sean didn’t seem to be interested in her affairs and leave it to Amelia. After all, they were not close to each other.

Riya also didn’t have that much interaction with Samuel except during the time when they were in the dormitory and couldn’t get out for a period of time. After that, they didn’t really see each other much.

"Just in case." Amelia shrugged.

"Well, you can show him that talisman," Riya replied. She knew that they would know sooner or later and anyway, if she could just make use of the inheritance excuse for the time being, why not?

She might tell the truth in the future.

Otherwise, she would live as an ordinary person until the end with that excuse.

…Wait, a person who know magic, can she be categorized as an ordinary person? To be honest, Riya highly doubted that.
