Runemaster in the Last Days

"Well…" Arnold thought for a moment before he said, "Even though we're brothers, we hadn't seen each other for a long time after our parents' separation."

The family was broken up and there was really no reason for them to see each other. In fact, they did contact each other for a while when they were young but later on, their parents made them unable to contact each other.

Those days could be said to be nightmare for Arnold.

He didn't know what happened to Nicholas until he met the other party when he was staying on the border.

Their parents were really irresponsible.

It was really hard for them to be able to survive for such a long time.

"Neither of our parents are the best at raising children. They only care about their own satisfaction and basically let us to grow on our own. Their personality is also clashing and I don't understand how they can get together in the beginning," Arnold said with a bitter smile.

He didn't say things clearly, but Amelia could imagine it.

She frowned and stretched her hand tentatively to hold Arnold's hand.

Arnold looked up and saw the concern in Amelia's eyes. He gave a soothing smile as he squeezed her hand, trying to make her feel more comfortable and to tell her that he was fine.

When he decided to become a mercenary, he was prepared to live a hard life.

And if Arnold had to say, it was not much more difficult compared to the life when he was with his father.

He didn't know how his younger brother was doing under their mother.

But when he saw Nicholas on that border, he realized that their mother was not much better than their father.

The two of them never thought about raising children.

Perhaps, children were nothing more than burden for them.

"Anyway… Nicholas is also a mercenary and we reunited on the border. Since we don't have any conflicts or anything like that, we stayed in a group for a few years," Arnold started his story.

"Nicholas is a completely different person from me. He's very irritable and didn't like others going against him. There are many times when he was detained for fighting and drinking but nothing is too bad.

After all, that's the border and the security is not very strict. There are people from all walks of life there and many people who lived in the grey area existed."

Amelia blinked her eyes.

She had never known that the border was so complicated.

Considering that she has been protected so well by the Jones Family behind her, it seemed that she did miss many things.

But it was fine.

Because Amelia felt that her family is the best.

She loved them very much and was thankful for their care over the years. If she was given the choice, she would never want to trade them for anyone else. s

"We have conflict with Yer and well, Nicholas nearly kill him during one conflict. Since then, Yer didn't dare to come any closer," Arnold said in helpless tone.

Nicholas never thought about the consequences after fighting and could be said to be extremely unrestrained. No one could control him and many people tried to stay far away from him.

They didn't dare to come any closer in fear that they would provoke him.

"So the reason why Yer comes to you… is because he felt that he will not have any chance if he didn't do it?" Amelia asked with difficulty.

The hatred between the two people had existed for a long time, but it was triggered when Yer found out that Nicholas was chasing after him.

Or perhaps something like that.

"It should be like that, but I haven't heard from him for a few years," Arnold replied helplessly. "We took separate missions once and then we lost contact. The place where he took a mission on had a big bombing case and it's said that no one survived, so many people believed that he had died."

Even Arnold himself thought that way.

Because if Nicholas was still alive, why did that b*stard didn't contact him in the slightest bit?

Thinking about that, Arnold felt that his fists were a bit itchy.

He really wanted to beat up his younger brother.

But that would have to wait until he had the chance to meet Nicholas again.

"I see." Amelia nodded in understanding after hearing the ins and out about this matter. "Did he really come to chase after Yer?"

"I doubt it," Arnold said slowly. "Even though he's a bit vengeful, but I don't think he will purposely chase after Yer after such a long time…. Yer might have heard some bad rumors and become afraid."

That man was simply too paranoid.

That was what Arnold was thinking.

As much as he would like to see his younger brother again, Arnold didn't want to raise unreasonable hope for this matter. It would be good if Nicholas is still alive and well out there, but if he did have passed away many years ago… then there was nothing that he could say.

He will just remember the other party in his memory and that would be good enough.

Amelia sighed as she stirred the meat soup in front of her.

"Give me the food."

"It's not done yet!"

"I don't need it to be completely cooked," Arnold said helplessly. "And I don't think my stomach can handle waiting any longer."

*growl*

Right after Arnold finished speaking, his stomach also spoke up as if in agreement.

Amelia and Arnold looked at each other before they broke out in laughter.

"Hahahaha! Here's the food." Amelia laughed out loud and simply took out the cooked rice from her space storage scroll and then prepared a plate to put the meat.

*ahem*

Arnold coughed with some embarrassment and then quickly ate the food in front of him. Even though Amelia had used a large pot and cooked a lot of meat, it was still far from enough.
