  &quot;I completely agree with you, brother,&quot; she replied, putting her arm on my shoulder as she leaned into me. &quot;You have the perfect view of the garden so for me to be able to see this is refreshing. I do envy you sometimes, all because of this view,&quot; she giggled.
  &quot;But what s more magical to see is the Mortal Realm and the people who live there,&quot; I added.
  &quot;Why is that?&quot; she asked as she looked at me.
  &quot;I ve been observing them for quite some time now and it amazes me how they see life. They may live a simple life but it is happy and they re content with what they have,&quot; I explained, smiling as words came out of my lips.

  &quot;Oh, hello, little brother! I didn t know you were here,&quot; she smiled as she closed the door. She was about to approach me when she suddenly stopped. Her gaze landed on the book in my hands. &quot;Am I seeing this clearly? Are you reading?&quot; she asked in disbelief and amazement.
  &quot;Unfortunately, yes,&quot; I smiled proudly. &quot;This book has proven me wrong. Everything that I thought about reading was completely washed away by this one,&quot; I explained as she walked towards me.
  &quot;Well then, I m proud of you, young one,&quot; she replied, sitting beside me. &quot;You ve finally found something better to do when you re not cooped inside your study, handling reports.&quot;
  &quot;And it s all thanks to you,&quot; I answered as I poked her arm. &quot;Anyways, where have you been?&quot; I asked, putting the book on my bedside table. &quot;When I returned, you w
