    <span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother, what are you making?" Leon asked. The two stared at Keith for some time. But because they were short, they couldn''t see what he was doing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith smiled, "Something the both of you would like,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" The two children tilted their heads. Fira flew to them, "Keith is going to make those yucky brussels sprouts delicious!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Laura still pouted while Leon blinked his eyes. But it didn''t take long for the brussels sprouts to be done baking. Keith took out the tray from the oven.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Leon and Laura tried to look, but they couldn''t. Keithughed, "Here," Keith picked the two up to let them see the food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Boss, it''s brown," Gus stated. They noticed the brussels sprouts didn''t have a green color. But they had a brown color on the top.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because it was carmalized," Keith exined. Keith smiled as he handed some sprouts to the two children, "Try it, it will be delicious,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Really?" "Promise?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course!" Hearing Keith''s answer, the two took a bite. And when they did,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Delicious!" "Mmhmm!" The two children''s eyes sparkled as they ate it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They liked the taste. Keith smiled. Gus also tried a piece as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It doesn''t taste all this bitter," He was surprised. Keith smiled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I added some rapple oil to it," Unlike regr oil, this one gave the food a sweetness. That was why Keith used it on the brussels sprouts. It was a way to give it a sweet taste and caramelize the sprouts.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright. I think it''s time we should head back," Keith picked up the two and had the te of brussels sprouts in his hand as he returned to the dining room,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about the wait," Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What have you prepared for us?" William questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I prepared some roasted brussels sprouts," Keith replied as he ced the te down,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother, I want to eat,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Keith chuckled, and he ced some sprouts onto her te. Like that, the girl started to eat like no tomorrow. That shocked Sophia.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what did you put in those sprouts?" What kind of sorcery did Keith do to make it tastier?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I added some rapple oil to the sprouts to make it tastier," Keith chuckled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now, let''s eat." With Laura eating the vegetables, everything was perfect.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith had woken up. He did his morning stretches. And it was time to go train. Keith headed to the barracks. There, he saw Michael swinging his sword.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hard at work. This is a surprise," Keith chuckled as he watched Michael. But Michael stared at him,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Enough talk, Kid. Let''s spar,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure!" Keith didn''t mind as he raised his sword in the air. Like that, the two of them found. Keith waved his sword at Michael. But Michael swung it down to attack him as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Michael continued to swing his de at Keith!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith was on the defensive as he blocked all of it. But it was over as Keith got pushed back by the force.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, did you get weaker?" Michael frowned. He found it odd. Keith was much weaker than thest time he fought with him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I''m wearing these," Keith stated as he showed him the bracelets.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? What are those?" Michael questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wear it, and you will understand," Keith handed one of the bracelets to him. Michael wore the bracelet, and he understood,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is a good method to train,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I''m going to be wearing this for a while," He got used to walking. But fighting was out of the question. He wasn''t at his full power,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So you want me to help you train?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I need to get used to it when I fight,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, let''s get to work," Keith nodded. Like that, he sparred with Michael some more.
