CHAPTER 337: A NEWS FROM SHARON

In the room, Sharon lay on her stomach with her eyes closed, while Nolan gently and carefully massaged her thighs.

"So, when are you coming back? Why didn’t I know?" Nolan asked curiously.

He hadn’t expected his sister to return from the academy today. Normally, she would have sent him a letter—but not this time.

Sharon gave a small smile and opened one eye. "That’s because I wanted to surprise you. How was it? Were you amazed?"

Nolan rolled his eyes and pressed a little harder, instantly making Sharon groan in pain.

"Ouch! Slow down, you naughty brother!"

"Pfft!" Nolan chuckled. "That’s your punishment for making fun of me."

"You..." Sharon puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. But the next second, both of them burst out laughing.

It had been a long time since they last saw each other, and it would be a lie to say they didn’t miss one another.

"By the way, Sister, how’s school going? Is the Fallen Star Academy treating you well?" Nolan changed the subject.

At the age of ten, his sister had been accepted into the Fallen Star Academy—one of the strongest on the continent, rivaling even the Tower of Silence, where Jisha came from.

The academy had produced many Celestial-level mages, and most who became Celestial mages were once its students.

If he remembered correctly, Lyra, Cassiopeia, Draco, and Orion were all from the Fallen Star Academy. That was why the relationship between the Great Velmora Empire and the academy could be considered good.

At his question, Sharon opened her eyes and gave a small nod.

"Of course, it’s very good, dear brother. They know I’m the princess of the Great Velmora Empire, so no one dares to mess with me. My friends are nice too; no one tries to cause trouble," she replied casually. "Moreover..."

She paused for a moment, smiled proudly, then continued, "I reached the level of Great Mage some time ago. You could say I’m one of the strongest students in the academy. What do you think? Is your beautiful sister that powerful?"

Nolan was clearly surprised. The Great Mage was the fourth among the seven main levels. Those who reached that level were extremely powerful—and very rare.

But that wasn’t the only thing that shocked him—Sharon was still so young! She was only twenty-one years old, just three years younger than him.

Usually, people aged twenty to twenty-five were still at the intermediate level, or at most, the high level.

And now, his sister, at just twenty-one, had already reached the rank of Great Mage—an incredible achievement!

With a small nod, Nolan’s expression showed clear admiration.

"Yes, you’re amazing, Sister. No wonder the academy insisted on bringing you over to their side—they must’ve been afraid you’d end up joining the Tower of Silence instead."

When Nolan mentioned the Tower of Silence, Sharon’s expression immediately turned unhappy.

"I may be talented, but compared to that girl Jisha, I’m still behind her," she complained irritably.

Jisha was a true monster—her talent was extraordinary, the greatest in a thousand years. If not for her, Sharon would have been the one shining the brightest.

"Pfft! There’s no need to complain, Sister," Nolan said in a soothing tone. His massage moved from her legs to her waist, then to her back, before he continued, "Comparing yourself to others will only trap you in your own imagination. Most people who think like that will never move forward in life."

"Humans are unique and special creatures. Maybe now you think Jisha will surpass you in a few years, but who knows? You might be the one to surpass her—to the point where she can’t even keep up with you. So throw away those thoughts if you don’t want to regret it later."

Negative thoughts and self-doubt only limit one’s potential. That wasn’t just a theory—it was a proven fact, both in the previous world and in this one.

Atoms, solar systems, and the universe all have a center that maintains balance.

Humans are the same; they have a center where information, emotions, and everything else gather. That center is the brain—or, in other words, the mind.

Jisha was indeed gifted, and she had the Tower of Silence behind her.

Compared to the Fallen Star Academy, the Tower of Silence was slightly superior.

But so what?

Did Jisha have a younger brother as handsome and strong as him?

With his help—the Singularity of Chaos—Sharon would be safe and grow into someone even greater than Jisha.

Meanwhile, Sharon listened to Nolan’s words in a daze. She processed them carefully and thought they made sense. Her mentor had also told her not to dwell on Jisha.

Somehow, despite being much younger than her, Nolan could give such advice, which made Sharon even more amazed and fond of him.

"I understand. Thank you, dear brother." She gave him a playful wink.

Nolan simply smiled and shook his head lightly. Fifteen minutes later, the massage was over, and Sharon felt her body completely refreshed.

"Ughhh!" She stretched lazily. "It feels so good after your massage, little brother. Your skills are getting even better."

Nolan handed her a cup of warm chocolate.

"Well, I’ve been practicing in case you came home," Nolan replied jokingly as he sat beside her.

Sharon was momentarily stunned, then smiled sweetly. "So, you can be romantic after all."

She accepted the cup, placed it on the nightstand, then leaned in and pressed her lips against Nolan’s cheek.

Mwah!

The sudden kiss left Nolan frozen in place.

Sharon smiled mischievously and brushed her fingers across her lips. "That’s a gift for you."

Quickly, she took back her cup and sipped the warm chocolate to hide her embarrassment.

Nolan came to his senses, the corners of his lips twitching slightly. Either Seira or Sharon—both of them really cared for him!

Although it made him happy, weren’t their actions a bit much?

Too lazy to think further, he decided to break the ice.

"Is it true that there are no problems at the Academy, Sister? As far as I know, the Fallen Star Academy gathers talented people from all over. Seeing how beautiful and skilled you are, it seems unlikely that no one would try to interfere, right?"

"Actually, it’s not that simple." Sharon let out a long sigh. "There’s one guy who likes me. I rejected him, but he never gave up—he even went so far as to harass me a few times. If it weren’t for my identity, he might have succeeded long ago."

Hearing that, Nolan was visibly shocked. Everyone knew Sharon’s identity as the third princess—but how dare anyone behave that way toward her?

"Who is he?"

Sharon was silent for a moment before replying weakly, "The First Prince of the Celestial Empire of Velgranth—Ragnark Azyron."

The First Prince of the Velgranth Sky Empire... Ragnark Azyron?" Nolan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
