“Let’s speed up!”

Although the voice sounded as if it was very close, there was a wall in between them. If they wanted to find Ellie’s sister, they would need to take a detour. The nearest intersection was at least a few hundred meters away.

Robert continued to carry Ellie until they reached the intersection. Ellie was pretty heavy even though she was only eight years old. However, Robert was not tired at all. He breathed steadily as usual. 

Robert could feel the changes in his body. He’s physically more fit and could run for longer periods of time. 

The changes occurred after Robert awakened his power. Currently, he felt as if he was a brand-new person. 

“Big brother, I can see my sister. She’s over there.”

Ellie pointed at a streetlamp.

A woman was sitting under that streetlamp with her head down. She looked about the same age as Robert. Two bottles of wine could be seen on the ground beside her. He could smell the smell of alcohol from afar.

“Sister, wake up. It’s me, Ellie.”

Ellie walked over and forcefully shook the woman.

The woman was in a daze. She was drunk. It was hard to tell if she had heard what Ellie said.

“Ellie, is this your sister?”

Although the woman was drunk, she managed to sense that there were people around her. She glanced up and saw Ellie. A smile immediately appeared on her face. It was probably because she recognized her.

Then, she saw Robert. 

Robert could clearly see her face now.

The woman had snow-white skin, firm and clear. Her facial features were very exquisite. Similar to Ellie, she had big eyes. She was incredibly beautiful!

“Big brother, I’m very sorry. My sister is drunk. Can you help me carry her to a nearby hotel?”

Ellie tried to get her sister up on her feet but was unsuccessful. So, she asked Robert for help.

“No problem.”

Robert could not just leave her alone on the street. It would be bad if she ran into a dangerous person. He walked towards the woman and held her hand. Her hand felt very soft.

“Are you alright?”

The woman was skeptical of Robert. She intuitively pulled Ellie away from him.

Robert understood that she might have thought he was a bad person. The woman’s actions reminded him of a similar situation.

It was like when he met Ellie. 

Robert assumed that since this beautiful woman was Ellie’s sister, she must have the same protective power.

At first, he wondered why such a beautiful woman would be all alone on the street.

Now it made sense. She was not alone. The people who approached her had bad intentions and they were sent flying.

“Sister, big brother is a good person. He will help us,” Ellie explained.

The woman believed in Ellie’s words. Besides, the protective magic was not triggered, so she had no reason to doubt him.

“Thank you very much, sir.”

“You’re welcome.”

Ellie was delighted.

“Sister, you’re awake!”

She hugged the woman.

“Ellie, when I realized that it was you, I immediately used magic to sober up myself.”

Curious, Ellie asked, “Sister, why did you drink?”

“Normally, you don’t drink. Why were you drunk in the middle of the street?”

The beautiful woman was clearly embarrassed.

“After we got separated, I couldn’t find you no matter how hard I tried. Then, a few men approached me, saying that they would help me find you if I agreed to drink with them. They suddenly disappeared after I finished the second bottle.”

“Anyway, none of that matters now. I’ve finally found you again Ellie, my precious sister.”

Robert thought that the two sisters were really naive. They have no common sense. How could they believe in strangers so easily?

“Ah!”

The woman suddenly realized that Robert was holding her hand and let out a scream. She had never been touched by a man before.

She quickly pulled her hand away and cried.

“Sister, why are you crying?”

Ellie was confused by her sister’s reaction.

“Ellie, I can’t live anymore. I’ve been touched by a man. I’m no longer pure. Sob.”

Robert felt a slight headache after hearing what she had said. The woman seemed less reliable compared to Ellie.

He began to wonder who’s actually the older sister.

Physically, it was very easy to distinguish the two sisters.

The older sister was remarkably beautiful, while the younger sister was extremely cute.

The woman’s cries attracted the attention of nearby people.

Robert had to act quickly.

He had never been in a relationship before.

“Ellie, what is your sister’s name?” Robert asked.

“My sister’s name is Harlan Jack von Brough Shireen,” Ellie immediately replied.

Robert memorized her name instantly and walked towards the nearest flower bush. He picked the most vibrant colored rose and went back to Shireen. 

After handing her the rose, he knelt down on one knee.

“Miss Shireen, my name is Robert. I didn’t mean to upset you.”

“I’m willing to marry you. Will you accept my proposal?”

! ! ! 

Shireen’s mind went blank for a moment. She did not expect the situation to turn out this way. This was the first time she received a proposal. It was a bit of a shock to her.

Furthermore, she had only known Robert for a short period of time. 

“Big brother, how could you do this? I disagree!”

Ellie suddenly flared up. She was enraged and her voice was filled with anger. She did not expect her big brother to abandon her for her sister.

“Big brother, you’re a bad person!”

Upon seeing Ellie so emotional, Robert tried to calm her down.

“Ellie, even if I marry your sister, my fondness for you will not decrease in the slightest. I am still your big brother. We are a family. I love your sister, and I love you even more.”

Ellie’s anger then subsided.
