"WHY DO you want to bind our life forces together, Nero?"
Nero was surprised by Neoma's question. He didn't expect her to know about the forbidden spell that could tie their lives together. But he should have expected that. If he found the book in the library of the palace where they both lived before, Neoma could do that as well.
And he had to remind himself that like him, she could also read and write now.
[My precious little sister is smart, indeed.]
But he was surprised to hear her call him by his name instead of "Big Brother."
"Don't worry, Neoma," Nero assured his twin sister. "I asked the saint to tweak the spell a little. If you die, I'll die with you. But if I die, all my Mana will be transferred to you so you'll be fine even without me."
Neoma's eyes almost popped out of her head. "Nero, are you serious?"
He nodded before he answered. "I am very serious."
At first, Saint Zavaroni refused to perform the forbidden spell on him.
