Night, inside the Royal Palace. Harry's room...

After their breakfast and talk in the morning, he had gone to an official and made some preparations for Anna, relieving all her duties other than ones he ordered.

Of course, she will be moving with him from now own, and thus poison checking will become her most important job.

But that in itself had quite some procedures to be taken care of, like assembling new time table, setting other maids in the missing position and then getting used to it.

Of course, Anna didn't have much work except being his private maid, but there were some works atleast, like checking out on all the maids and guards working around him and his part of the family.

So as the change was going on, she needed to help, so in the end she went to do that after she slept enough. He didn't even get to play with her.

And then, he had started to do some excercises to feel about his body, squats, pull ups, push ups. All kinds of exercises were to simpke for him. His body was too strong.

Nevertheless, he did them for as long as he could and sweated a lot.

That was the main thing he had been doing the whole day. He had even skipped meals, of course he let Mom and sis know beforehand.

As for now?

Harry was looking around and shaking his head as he groped around the walls inside his room.

He moved his fingers through each brick but they were not it.

Finding a wall brick that had a different texture, a bit sharp on the finger compared to the rest, Harry smirked and put some pressure on it.

The brick sunk down.

The wall shifted to the side, and a small pathway opened up.

Smiling with eagerness, he entered and the pathway closed behind him.

Looking around as he walked, The insides of the pathway were dark, and he had brought no light...

It was a small secret tunnel.

And even though dark, it was a straight path, so he didn't lose his way and walked straight, then found a roadblock, it was a wall.

When he was just a meter away from it, he stopped and gave a hard kick on the Wall's lower end with his foot, the wall rotated and he was shown a way forward.

Moving forward, he entered a room, his vision brightened up.

"You could have come through the easy way, why do it the hard way?" amused, Lilly asked, seated on her bed.

She liked seeing him do that though, since it brought back the memories of their childhood, searching for treasures around the castle, only to end up finding a hidden tunnel to each other's room.

Closing the Wall well, he said: "That won't be a good idea, I like that tunnel anyway. it brings back memories."

He didn't want rumors of him and his sister in a room at night already, that would probably be troublesome.

Lilly was just too happy to care for the titbits, and just as she was about to stand from the bed to hug him,

he moved quickly and got into her bedsheets, and was soon there by her side

Hugging her from the side, he could feel the softness of his sister again, oh how he had missed it.

After completely and comfortably hugging her, And while still cuddling, he said: "I just love hugging you, you are just so soft and comfortable to touch..."

Lilly giggled, Go on, Go on, continue praising me...

She liked being complimented by him.

It had been years since she heard a sincere one, He was somewhat gloomy after that whole Null thing.

But of course, Their relationship with each other had never been shallow, so it never became distant, in fact, after becoming a null, Lilly's still unwavering and loving support only brought them much closer

And in the deepest parts of Lilly's mind, she only wanted that, To keep their three people family together...Eternally.

Even being gifted with one of the three Great ability was only a source of power to protect her family when they were weak.

She always wanted to express her love for her family, but she was somewhat shy and Harry was mostly a person of solitude...

Except when there was something that affected her or their mother, he mostly stayed out of everything,

Yet, when it counted, he will always be there,

even though weak, he was no coward.𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

And almost all his ideas up against a situation are always smart, he was one of the smartest people she knew.

"I also like being hugged by you brother," she said as she turned to the side and hugged him back.

She could only be so straightforward, naive and simple infront of him...she smiled inside.

Hugging each other, both feeling comfortable and loved, Ace suddenly called: "Hey, My beautiful lil sis"

"mhm? What? I didn't hear you," she said, feinting she hadn't heard.

Ace didn't Reply and just kissed her on her cheeks once, then moved down and took her by the lips

she didn't reject the kiss, but unlike what she expected, a tongue broke through her lips and entered her mouth, and she opened her eyes abruptly and bit on his tongue.

In a panic, she said, breaking out of the kiss "That was unexpected, so I..I....I—"

But again, she found her lips sealed again, and this time, she complied without any resistance. she just hoped his tongue didn't hurt due to her bite.

Of course it won't hurt, he had 2 defense, even knife's would have a hard time inflicting damage even if it was a vulnerable part like his tongue.

A gentle bite from his sister was just bliss, no pain!

But she didn't know that and guiltilly kissed him back.

Harry's tongue gently playing with hers, their lips chewing each other instinctively.

After a long, long kiss, their lips parted and a bridge of saliva extended out of it.

The proof of their connection.

Lilly blushed, she had just deeply kissed her brother, they had also kissed before this, even lio to lip was a regular thing.

Deeply, it was a first.

She could feel her heart thump in a weird sense and her body heat up.

But she didn't get any more time to think, as again, her lips were sealed, that snake-like tongue of her brother invaded her mouth and found her tongue to pkay with, they both tangled against each other until they were out of breath.

And Harry brought his tongue out again.

For a while, in the single bed, under the same bedsheets. Sister and Brother duo kept hugging and kissing each other non-stop.

Harry didn't want to stop kissing and Lilly didn't want him to stop kissing either.

They both wanted it to continue.
