The Mech Lord

"It tastes like home…"

Viona couldn\'t help but almost tear up after hearing Leo.

Just saying that he felt like home was enough for her to cry in joy. After all, it was the first time that he had said about feeling like home here.

"Umn…you don\'t need to cry," Leo really didn\'t know how to react. He didn\'t like it when she began to cry. He hadn\'t seen it happening in the last couples of day and was relaxed but not again. This was really bad for his health as he couldn\'t help but think that it was somehow his fault.

"I-I am not crying…" Viona shook her head and wiped her face and held back those tears. She then smiled at Leo before placing her palm over his head gently.

"Uh! Whats with this drama right in the morning?" Amelia\'s voice sounded into their ears as the girl came down.

She was giving them a weird look and then slowly took her seat beside Leo.

"Wow! What is this dish? It smells nice!" Her eyes flickered and her hand immediately went for the bowl which had been served to Leo.

"Smack!"

But before she could grab it, her mom\'s hand smacked her hands away.

"Ouch!"

Amelia looked at Viona with a wronged look only to be berated, "Is this your manners? Stealing food from other\'s plate? Take out your own portion."

"Waah! He is my brother what\'s wrong with it? Besides, you are being partial! I am sure you would have taken the food with your own two hands for him, but I don\'t see plates being even turned over me yet.." Amelia said as she rolled her eyes while looking at the up turned plates on the table.

"You little girl! You know your brother is missing a hand and you still ask me why I am helping him! It seems you need a beating." Viona was ready to teach her some manners but Leo decided to butt in. He didn\'t want any trouble because of him.

"Its fine, I am sure she didn\'t do it intentionally. As for the bowl, she can have it. I am not that helpless. I still have got an arm," He said with a smile and pushed the bowl towards Amelia before proceeding to take out his own.

Viona kept glaring at Amelia the entire time while Amelia kept her head low. A bit due to the guilt and the rest because of the fear of her mother. She had actually forgotten that Leo was missing an arm.

When Aaron and Edgar arrived, they glanced at Leo wondering what was going on but he just shook his head claiming it was nothing serious.

"Look after your brother in the Academy, Amy. You know he doesn\'t remember anything, right?" Edgar looked at her and said with a smile.

Amelia was about to retort when she felt her mother\'s sharp piecing glare and swallowed down the words which were about to leaver her mouth before coming up with a new ones which were said in an extremely dim voice which only Leo, who was sitting beside her could hear, "I will try my best….but we are in different years…so…"

"Do you not have a voice? You were really loud earlier while trea-"

"I will do it! I will take care of him!" Amelia immediately spoke, afraid of Viona telling about the earling incident to her father.

"Good!" Viona nodded with a smile.

…

Soon, Leo, Amelia and Aaron left the place.

"Well then, I will see you guys later," Aaron said with a smile as he let out a whistle and soon noises of hurried and chaotic steps accompanied with a panting entered there ears.

The next instant, a four legged figure jumped over their head and landed right beside Aaron. It was his Arora Beast, Sphinx. It was a rare bread of Thunder Wolves and was extremely hard to tame. It definitely was a shock to see it act so obediently in front of Aaron.

Aaron then got onto it and waved his hands at the two behind before rushing out of the mansion gates.

"I wish I had one as well," Amelia said with longing eyes before sighing and walking towards the flying car with Leo tagging behind her.

As the two sat inside it and the driver took off the vehicle into the air, Amelia shifted her gaze at Leo and then let out a deep sigh.

"What are we going to do now?" She suddenly said with a trouble look before turning towards Leo.

"What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.

"You really want me to lead you by your hands? That\'s embarrassing! I don\'t want to do it!" She held her head and rolled on the seat.

"I don\'t remember anything, can\'t you just help me at once," Leo asked with a helpless look. He really didn\'t want to end up in trouble on the very first day.

"Why do you have to be like this? You had so much pride earlier! We even pretend to be like strangers, treating each other like air at Academy! Why don\'t you remember anything!" Amelia started to lose it. She seemed to have enjoy the new change in her brother these few days but she was missing the old him now.

"Wait! Our relationship is that bad?" Leo was suddenly taken back. He didn\'t know that she was actually treating him better because of his condition and also because of the change in his behavior. And then there was the main reason, her mother\'s threatening gazes. If not for that, it would have been a war everyday at home.

"I-I.." Amelia suddenly found herself lacking in words. She didn\'t even remember why it had all started. But she just knew that she and Aiden didn\'t get along well and the two never interacted in the Academy. Not to mention, they were polar opposite of each other. "Anyway! I will show you the way to your class. That\'s my limit, you better not come finding me again. Because, I definitely won\'t see you and especially not with that black hair and strange hairstyle. Just what were you thinking coloring your hair and growing bangs?!"

"This is natural to me. And I don\'t think anything is wrong with coloring my hair and changing my hairstyle," Leo retorted with a helpless smile. He actually thought he looked weird in those silver white hairs.

Anyway, he didn\'t have any plans of changing the color anytime soon. Not to mention, even their parents hadn\'t told him to do so.

"Just do what you want but don\'t you dare rattle about this to mom. After all, I am already being nice here." She said with threatening look.

\'What the hell is wrong with her and Aiden?\' Leo really didn\'t know what to say.

Do siblings behave like this?

He really didn\'t know since he never had one.

There was a silence between them until the driver slowed down the vehicle and finally broke the ice

"We are here."
