The Author's POV

Chapter 240

"Waaah, are you a princess?"

A young girl exclaimed as she tugged on Amanda's shorts. Looking at the young girl, Amanda blinked a couple of times.

'Who is this child?'

She wondered as she observed the little girl before her. Long black hair, deep ocean-like eyes, and soft and puffy cheeks.

The girl looked adorable.

"umm, are you a princess?"

Once again the young girl asked.

"No, I'm not." A warm smile appeared on Amanda's face. Looking around, she asked, "Are you alone?"

"No, I'm with big bwuddar."

The little girl shook her head and turned around. However, to her dismay, no one was behind her.

"Bwuddar?"

Looking around, the girl frantically called out for what seemed to be her brother.

"Oh, no. Bwuddar!"

Tears started gathering in the corner of the girl's eyes as she realized her brother wasn't with her.

"It's okay calm down, I'll help you find big brother"

Seeing the young girl's state, Amanda decided to step in.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the tears that were threatening to fall from the corner of the young girl's eyes, Amanda reassured her.

"Everything will be alright, so don't worry. You can rely on me"

"Weally?"

Feeling the warmth coming from Amanda's hand, the little girl finally seemed to have calmed down a bit.

"Yes, don't worry"

Amanda once again reassured as she caressed the young girl's head.

"How about you sit with me"

Amanda patted the seat next to her. The young girl nodded her head in response.

"Um"

"What's your name?"

Once the girl sat down, Amanda asked for her name.

"Nola"

The young girl answered.

"I see, what's your brother's name?"

"Ben. Big bwother Ben"

"Ben?"

"Um, Ben"

Amanda's brows slightly knit.

She didn't know anyone that went by that name, but she didn't think too much of it.

There were over a thousand students in the academy. There was no way she would know the names of every student present.

Furthermore, she wasn't too keen on knowing who her brother was. She didn't have the best impression of him.

Who in their right mind would be so irresponsible to lose sight of such a young child? Amanda didn't have any good feelings for whoever Nola's brother was.

As such, after thinking for a bit, she decided to just contact the staff regarding a lost child. She wasn't too keen on letting Nola be with her brother as the situation might repeat again.

"Are you sad?"

Nola suddenly asked as she sat next to Amanda.
