Chapter 138 - Her wish matters?

Anna just rolled her eyes when she heard that the date is already fixed.

So what can she do about it?!

Does she wish matters? No! So why shall she also care about this old ceremony?

Anna just rolled her eyes and kept on staring at the pond in front of her. But then she heard Liam saying,

"Seb used to give this ceremony much importance, Anna. He will never let anyone except a Walker to be the head. For him, his family was everything."

'He was brought up thinking that, he is going be head.' Anna though but did not raise her voice on it.

"And yeah that girl was an exception too." Liam was talking about Shaira.

Each family member knew who Shaira was very well. They even met her as Seb brought her home for introducing her as his first and last girlfriend.

"Yes, the brother was concerned with his family but what in return did he get? Death!" This was the cruel and harsh reality in which each one of them is living. Seb died because of them, Because of Anna!

"He is no more but his memories are. Anna, you are the real owner of this whole empire. Do not let your past experiences affect your future. Don't deprive yourself of what is yours!" He did not want her place to be given to someone else.

His family was what he was proud of. God gave him two special and so good children and he was very grateful for them.

Anna looked at his face and straight into his eyes. She wanted to read his emotions but his eyes were like black water.

"You are using the same trick on me, when it was me who taught these techniques to Seb?" Anna heard him say this.

It was her brother Seb who taught her everything at this early age but it was their father who taught him this all.

"Do you know that he used to teach me everything that you taught him?" In response, Anna saw Liam smiling. This cold, cruel Liam smiled after so many ages!?!?

Anna can not even believe her own eyes. Her father smiled who stopped smiling after her brother's death! Was this a coincidence?

"I knew everything. How you used to scare him with your taunts and he wanted peace so he said yes! Later, while practicing, you gave him continuous taunts that you will not be able to do these and that but later, he somehow taught you even with your constant crying."

Her Childhood was really good. She used to taunt him constantly.

Anna felt ashamed as she thought about that past.

Yeah... Well, it was true she was a troubled sister and used to scare her elder brother a lot! But he always bore with it with calmness. But the fact arrises that how does he know about this all?

"Did you saw us doing this?"Anna curiously asked.

Whenever the past was talked about, she felt more close to her father. In the past, he was like the best father for her. But not now!

"Anna, I knew everything in our house. I never stopped Seb because I know that in our world, self-defense is really important. I had trust in him that he will teach you with utter softness and will not let you harm yourself. So I let him." Hearing this confession, Anna somewhat felt happy. She did not know herself why but yeah, it made her heart warm! Then she again heard her Father's voice.

"But you know, your brother had more skills which he never taught you because I asked him not to. He was perfect in those and he was ready to use those skills in fighting too, but not perfect to teach you. I was afraid he will end up hurting himself or you so I said no. You were not big enough to be taught skills at that moment but you are now!"Saying this, Liam stood from the bench and brought two swords with him.

Anna wad too much shocked and surprised by his words that she forgot to breathe! Why does everyone want her to be crowned? Do daughters crown?

No! never in this life, she heard that girls are being crowned. Not even Steve family which is other family who follows this tradition.

"Father, you are forgetting.. I'm a girl." Her Walker family was a little stereotype.

Except for her parents and grandparents, no one must be ready that a girl takes the crown and responsibilities of the family. Then why her father is adamant in making her the successor?

"So what if you are a girl? I and your mother have raised you like a son, you know everything a lady or a male successor should know, except a few skills. You know fighting, mind games, dirty politics then why not?" Liam explained her in a calm but a serious tone.

In his eyes, Anna is best person to be crowned after Seb. Not because she is is daughter, but somewhere he knew her way of thinking.

"Being crowned means you will step into this shady underworld too! You are my daughter so, you must make everyone fear you. I will teach you all of the rest fighting skills." He threw a sword at Anna. With her reflexes, She caught it perfectly even if she was unprepared.

It was a new sword. Sharp enough to cut most and most hard things.

She just stared at the sword in her hands. Her brother was also killed with a sword. Just holding one, brought so many emotions within her. Anger, sadness, a fire, weakness, a sudden thrust of killing someone…

Without even thinking about what she was doing, Anna lifted her sword and attack at Liam.

"HAYIIAHHHH!!"
