It was obvious to her were his heart lay, it was with Amara. Ever since she landed on the blue star he had hardly spent any more time Arya. What he was feeling in her opinion was guilt for raising Arya's hopes perhaps.

"Did you ask Arya on a date?" She asked.

"No." He answered calmly.

"Did you talk to her about any future plans that involve both of you together?"

"No."

"Did you tell her that you were interested in a relationship with her?"

"No."

"Did you make her any promises?"

"No."

"Do you love her?"This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

"No." He replied instantly. Then he looked at her and crinkled his nose as he thought. "I don't think so anyway. I mean, I am fond of her and I find her pretty easy to talk to but she does not make my heart race the way Amara does. I think we both found friendship and companionship in each other."

He breathed out loud and sat up. To her, it looked like his shoulders were straighter than they had been before. He probably didn't realize how much speaking to her and unburdening himself had affected him.

"You are a good sister, little one. I am actually happy that you pushed me to talk about this. I feel so much better now, as a matter of fact let me stop running and return to work. What are you planning to do with the test of your day?"

"Nothing much, I simply intend to do some reading and research. Next month we must begin preparations for planting and then expansion of the town must continue. Folsom told me that the grey star has been the most devastating planet this winter and so many people have lost their homes. I have been asked to take them in if I desire."

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "I am guessing you said yes."

She nodded twice, "We need people to sustain the planet otherwise we will end up with empty lonely buildings and no one to live in them. Also it will take a lot of manpower to plant enough food to feed the billions in the empire. At the moment we don't even have enough food to feed three million people."

"Then you should balance the manpower between humans and machines. Machines can work overnight in the fields." He suggested.

"We still have a few unemployed people here, how do you think they will react if I give the jobs to machines? They will be anxious and worried, and they will loathe me. We already had one person set a farm on fire, we don't need another. I actually intend to put shields around the farms next time. It will cost me some money but it's necessary to prevent those with ill intentions from gaining easy access inside."

"You know that a farm worker can be bribed as well to attempt something even with a shield up, right?"

He spoke so logically but all she did was glare at him. She wanted only solutions here, no pessimism.

"I should go and work, most of the beasts have retreated anyway. There is nothing to fear anymore. But,....never mind." He wanted to share his theories on the mutated beasts as he once discussed with Beord.

He thought that since her teacher what the beats were, maybe he knew where they came from. He Also thought that now was the right time to follow them and see where they disappeared to always. But with his sister thinking about the economy and the way forward for their planet to develop, his random thoughts could perhaps best be shared with someone else, like her husband.

"What are you thinking brother?"

"I am thinking about Elroy's request for us all to attend his hockey match. First it was football, then basketball and now hockey. What's next, quidditch?" Adler touched his head as if the thought of his indecisive little brother caused him much pain. "I don't get it, why can't he decide what he wants to do and stick to it? Will he end up becoming one of those monks and live in the temple? Aah, that kid is giving me a headache."

Scarlet smiled and she said, "He is our baby brother, we will continue to support him until he finds his way."

"So, see you at the match." Adler stood up to go.

"Mm, bye-bye." She threw him a packet of ginger snap cookies before he left. He could not have left at a better time because Ramslin had reached out finally.
