Coming back to the palace

The carriage came into a stop in front of my courtyard and Leon helped me get down.

"Sister!" I hear a young lads voice. Once I turned around I see a young lad that looks quite familiar.

"Richard?" I was not sure at first because the young lad was taller than me by some inches. Richard is only fourteen years old but the young lad running towards me has a body of a young man.

"Sister, I have missed you so much." Richard gave me a bear hug.

"I-I missed you too." I said with a muffled voice. "R-Richard, y-you are crushing me."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry." Richard said.

As I thought, Richard is now a few inches taller than I am. His body is well toned and his voice is starting to become deeper. Grandpa is surely giving him the spartan training.

"Look how big you have grown." I said. "How are you?"

"I'm fine sister." Richard said with a huge smile. "How about you?"

"I am also fine." I replied. "I missed you so much." Richard gave mea huge grin as a response.
