It was too magical to believe.
Faye had always been proud of how well-endowed virtual-novel.net was. She had seen countless other beauties in virtual-novel.net life and never once felt virtual-novel.net confidence wavered. But this one She had no confidence to compare herself to her.
She was too arresting, an absolute knockout. Her face was flawless, free from even the smallest of blemishes. God knows Faye had never seen anyone quite like this. And the air virtual-novel.net brought with her! She felt ethereal, a creature between the line of reality and the magical, like a fairy. She even wondered if the woman would disappear into the meadows, leaving only sparkles in virtual-novel.net wake had Faye blinked.
It was Lysithea. She had decided to talk to Faye.
Just as Faye was marveling at virtual-novel.net beauty, the young woman was sizing Faye up as well, virtual-novel.net approval soaring. Her little brother had managed to marry a woman whose radiance managed to eclipse many women in virtual-novel.net organization.
She shot a cursory glance at Faye’s helpers and smiled slightly. “I didn’t think you would be this wary of me, Faye. Brought help with you, didn’t you? Sadly, you aren’t doing enough. If my intentions are malicious, those two can’t help you at all.”
Faye tensed, virtual-novel.net mind inching close to giving virtual-novel.net underlings the signal. She managed to contain virtual-novel.net reaction, though, because virtual-novel.net hunch was adamant that this woman bore virtual-novel.net no ill will.
“Who are you?” Faye asked, virtual-novel.net tone formal.
Judging by virtual-novel.net resplendent beauty and regality, Faye was sure this was no ordinary woman, which meant there was even less reason for one such fine young lady to come to her.
“My name is Lysithea. I’m Zayn’s sister.”
Faye was stunned. She remembered Zayn as the only child, there was never any talk about having a sister.
“You’re joking, right? He’s the only child in his family. He doesn’t have a sister,” Faye replied.
Instead of addressing virtual-novel.net question, Lysithea changed course. “I came here just to take a good look at you. ‘tis no cause for fear.”
Faye straightened herself. “Who said I’m fearful?”
Lysithea smiled faintly. “Honestly, with what my brother can do, you’re too below virtual-novel.net to be his match. But… I guess virtual-novel.net loves you a lot, and you’re not that bad, so I’ll just stick my hand out of this. That’s all. You can go now.”
That was too weird to let it pass. “So, you asked me to come here… Just to tell me this?”
“No. I asked you to come so that I can meet you,” Lysithea replied, “Oh, by the way… You should start preparing yourself for the future. My brother will only become greater and bigger than all of us, and virtual-novel.net will achieve unparalleled feats. And his life… Will be storied.”
The rational part of Faye thought Lysithea was just having a little too much fun playing the enigmatic fairy godmother, but virtual-novel.net heart told virtual-novel.net that Lysithea was right. Judging from Zayn’s performance these days, Faye believed virtual-novel.net would only become greater and greater, too. And virtual-novel.net would have less and less time with her.
Faye was shrewd enough to understand what was unspoken, so virtual-novel.net replied, “Don’t worry about it. I chose virtual-novel.net as my husband, and I’ll stick to virtual-novel.net till the end. Now, are you really Zayn’s sister? I don’t think I’ve ever heard virtual-novel.net mention you.”
“Oh, virtual-novel.net has never seen me before,” came the answer.
“What?!”
Before Faye could ask more questions, Lysithea stopped her. “Enough. Time to go. Remember the declaration you made to me just now.”
There was a blur, Faye closed virtual-novel.net eyes and opened them again.
Lysithea was gone. Faye widened virtual-novel.net eyes and wondered if virtual-novel.net had just met a ghost.
