5 Chapter 5

The dark figure turned towards her direction and smiled. His charming and handsome face came into her view. His bright blue eyes studied her simple get up and frowned.

"What's with the outfit?"

"None of your concern. Why are you here Demetri?" Her voice calm and controlled.

"Can't I just visit my sister?" Demetri came out of her room and entered the living area making his way to sit on the couch. Kaylen followed him.

"How did you find me?" Looking at Demetri's 'you should know' face, she sighed, "What does master want?"

"The Grand Gala in the capital. He wants you to attend."

"I don't do Galas."

"This is not something that you can ignore, Kaylen. Grandfather wants to introduce you to the public. You can't keep playing hide and seek."

"I don't want to deal with Marlene, and you know how she hates me."

Kaylen waved her hand and a charming tea set appeared. She poured out a cup for Demetri and herself.

"This has nothing to do with Marlene." Demetri said as he tasted the tea, "Grandfather said that if he has to, he will make it an order as Head of the Draco family."

"I'll be graduating after this semester. It ends in a month." Kaylen felt a headache coming. "When is the Gala?"

"In three months', time. What would this be, your 4th Master's degree?"

"This is only the 3rd one. I don't plan to attend anymore school. I find it boring now."

"Mm… my 2 degrees pale against your 3. My tea is never as good as yours either."

"Are you trying to compare to me now?"

"No but being the Drago family heir, I should shine more than other in the family."

"Demetri, I am only an orphan. I can't be considered as…"

"It doesn't matter Kaylen. Can't you at least call me brother? We grew up with one another. Even if we are not blood related, we can still be considered as siblings."

Kaylen looked at his determined eyes that had a hint of sadness in them. Her lonely eyes stared back at him for a moment before she stood up and walked into her small kitchen.

"Tell master, that I will attend."

"Mother wants you to come early…"

"Demetri, I will attend the Gala, but I don't know about coming early."

"You know that mother considers you as a daughter and you've never visited the house after you left 4 years ago. The least you can do is accompany her for a week or so. Let her dote on you like when we were kids. After the Gala you can disappear again."

Kaylen's heart clenched at the thought of Demetri's mother's sad face. "Alright."
