The Goddess Of War

Chapter 292 - Family Day

Morgan Lloyd could only stare sadly at Brandon who always sat pensively with a grim face near the window of his room, while massaging his chest.

Brandon who now lost all the valuable things in his life, completely lost the direction and purpose of life.

His house is falling apart. His wife who had already been released from Hunter prison after all of her Mana energy was thrown away, never came back again.

His three children, although still living in the Lloyd residential area, but clearly do not care much anymore.

And the most important thing in his life, the Black Diamond guild, which had been at the top of City C, gradually began to lose its members and threatened to collapse.

But, the most important thing missing from him was his identity as a Hunter. Without having any more Mana energy, Brandon was now no different from ordinary humans.

°°°

Morgan Lloyd let out a long sigh, after reflecting on the bad luck that befell his beloved son.

A few days ago, while he was sleeping, Anna came to Brandon and threw away all of his demonic Mana energy again. In fact, Morgan had already invested half of his fortune to raise Brandon's rank by purchasing demon pills from Li Wen Xia.

The old man had hardened his own heart. He already knew that Li Wen Xia who was selling demon pills to him was a stray angel and the Mana energy that Brandon was consuming was evil Mana energy. But, Morgan still wanted the pill back to restore the energy of his beloved son Mana.

That's why Morgan was so sad, too, so vengeful to Anna.

"Surprisingly, didn't you already know that Mana Brandon's energy had completely disappeared? He knew that even if he got the pill, Brandon would not be able to restore his Mana energy again? It's just that the pill will kill him" Arthur Lloyd, Morgan's second son, told Robin Lloyd who was watching Morgan and Brandon from the doorstep.

Robin's tired of talking about it. He didn't understand what his uncle was saying. He immediately left them, on foot to the rebuilt Lloyd's daughter's residence.

Just as Robin had left the main residence several tens of meters away, Andrew ran after him.

Just like Robin, Andrew was also fed up if their family always discussed how their father lost Mana energy, especially when they blamed Anna.

Robin, Cassey and Andrew are currently very sensitive when they hear people vilifying Anna. They knew very well how Anna actually loved her close people, from the way she looked after her friends.

Robin, Cassey and Andrew are deeply concerned about it. Had they been able to be nice to Anna long ago, Anna would have treated them just as much as she treated her friends.

•••

"You guys come again? Is grandfather still talking about which energy is father?" asked Cassey, who was learning to cook with the maids at the princess residence.

Later, as Morgan discusses it, Robin and Andrew, who now live in the main building, always escape to the princess's residence where Cassey is located.

"This time it's Uncle Arthur. He tried to get Robin to talk about it" Andrew said, noting what Cassey was cooking. "Feel what is this?"

"Three soup."

"You learned to cook Asian cuisine?"

"Y-yeah..," said Cassey, blushing in shame.

But Andrew did not mock him at all. He knew that Cassey would want to make it for Anna.

Robin and Andrew find out that Cassey has recently been trying to figure out what Anna likes. They look at Cassey's regrets and see how Cassey is trying to prepare herself so that if Anna has a little time to visit, then Cassey can do what Anna likes.

Unfortunately, Anna never visited them at all to the Lloyd family residence.

But, while Andrew and Robin were still thinking about it, Anna suddenly walked into the kitchen.

"Hallo..," said Anna to the three.

The three brothers were just as shocked when they saw Anna suddenly being there. They look at each other, between confused, happy and also do not know how to behave.

Cassey finally realized first from his surprise. He immediately went to the table and pulled a chair from under the table and invited Anna to sit there.

"Am I a guest?" anna asked, looking over the boiling pot.

"Y-yes?"

"It's still my house, right?"

"Y-yes... Sure do... Why not?"

Cassey. But soon both of his cheeks blushed, happy to hear the words of his stepbrother.

"Is this not cooking yet?" asked Anna again, sniffing the smell of rib soup in the pot.

Cassey doesn't really know. He glanced at the servant who had been helping him and taught him how to cook, to get the answer.

As the servant raised both hands and pointed out his 10 fingers, Cassey finally replied.

"Can you wait 10 minutes?" ask Cassey.

Anna turned. He looked at his three half-brothers.

"Maybe more than that. Actually, I want to relax with you guys today."

"What-what?!" Robin and Andrew.

While Cassey just gaped without saying a word.

Seeing the surprised and happy expressions of the three stepsisters, Anna finally gave thanks for the first time, as she could hear what people were thinking and could feel the feelings of others.

Anna had just arrived in C City after she had delivered Gina a deal, as she knew the three stepsisters missed her dearly. That's why he came to meet them.

Anna is also happy to know the original feelings of her three siblings without having to second-guess their feelings again as when she just restored Cassey first.

He now knows that Cassey has changed and knows that Cassey is figuring out what he likes so that if they have just one chance to get together like they used to, then Cassey can do what Anna sincerely likes.

"W-what do you want to do? Do you want to watch a movie together? Or a walk on the playground? Or go to the movies?" ask Cassey quickly. He knew those three things that Anna liked the most.

"What if we do everything?"

Cassey.

"You don't want to?"

"You're serious?!"

"of course. How about we take a walk to the playground after lunch?"

"A-ayo we're going!" cassey exclaimed excitedly.

•••

After lunch together, they finally went to the playground. However, instead of being able to enjoy being together happily, they are even disturbed by the many people from various ages who ask to take pictures with Anna.

Anna was initially confused. However, when Robin and Cassey tell him that he must serve the people's request, Anna finally wants to do it.

"Did they recognize me wrong? Do they think I'm a celebrity?" anna asked Andrew, when they had managed to escape from the playground because people who asked to take pictures did not end as well.

"They're not wrong. You are very famous after appearing on the WABC broadcast to save the world" Andrew said with a proud expression. "My friends always ask you."

"You're even more famous than a celebrity!" praise Cassey.

Along the way from the playground to the parking lot, there are still many people who intercept them to ask for a photo with Anna.

Anna was actually a bit sorry because she came out wearing only a tee shirt and hotpants only.

Because of that experience, Anna planned to come out in cool and neat clothes in the future.

°°°

The best option for them right now is of course going to the cinema. Although when they lined up to buy snacks and Anna was still surrounded by crowds, but when she was in the theater room, Anna was finally able to calm down because no one came to 'hold her' anymore.

After having fun all day, the four still gathered again at the princess residence to watch the films of Anna's favorite drama that he had not followed for a long time.

Cassey had bought all the episodes and they were watching until morning.
