Chapter 20 Little Sanna’s Christmas

December 25, 1990, 6 a.m., Castle of House Menethil.

Today, little Shanna also came to her brother's bedroom as usual. Opening the door, little Shanna found that her brother was not in the bedroom.

"Is it earlier than usual today?" little Shanna said to herself.

Little Zannah looked at her brother's bedside. There was a small pile of gifts placed there, which were even fewer than the gifts she had received.

Little Shanna knew that apart from those gifts given by her parents and herself, they were only given by relatives in the United States.

When she attended banquets over the years, she met several little witches whom she could talk to, and now they have a relationship where they can give each other Christmas gifts. But although my brother would talk happily with many people at banquets, he didn't have close friends.

When little Shanna was 4 years old, she went to the United States with her parents and brother, and she met her legendary relatives for the first time. Hearing that her brother had never seen them before, little Shanna felt a little happy, hehe.

…

"Bell, Zannah, this is your grandfather - Ornn Menethil, grandmother - Bernitha Menethil, sister-in-law - Lena Menethil, and grandfather - Duru De Jeslav, maternal grandmother - Clara Jeslav, sister-in-law - Helena Jeslav."

Father William introduced the relatives in front of them to the two.

"Oh, Belle, you were just born when I last saw you, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye. I am so happy, it is so good to see you free to move around outside, my poor child."

Grandma Bernice hugged Belle and then Zannah.

"Sanna, I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to visit you. There are too many troubles here in the United States. I hope you can forgive us."

When chatting later, little Shanna found out that a few years ago, in order to avoid a very bad villain, her grandparents and maternal grandparents took their sister-in-law, who was still young at the time, to the United States. Her parents were left to look after the family business in England.

Little Zannah knew about the big bad guy. She had seen that person's name in a book. Was it called 'Voldemort' or 'Two-hole Socket Man'? Little Shanna tilted her head.

'How could someone be called such a strange name? ’

But once, when little Shanna mentioned that person's name in front of her parents, they both exclaimed and told her that they couldn't say that name, they had to call him 'God... Myth Man? ’ is also a strange name.

Afterwards, little Shanna went to ask her brother why everyone was so afraid of the ‘Mythical Man’? My brother said that because the man was so ugly, everyone would run away as soon as they saw him coming.

Sure enough, both parents are cowards, so little Shanna won't be afraid of each other just because they are ugly. Her brother had found an ugly thing called 'Grindylot' from somewhere before, so she wasn't afraid...well, actually she was a little afraid, really only a little bit. So, it turns out that her brother is the bravest, and little Shanna feels very proud.

We chatted together for a long time after not seeing each other for a long time. At the beginning, we asked, ‘How are you doing recently? ’ and other common topics. However, gradually, everyone began to talk about "industry" and "too few manpower", topics that little Shanna could not understand at all.

Little Shanna was a little unhappy because she didn't want others to know that she didn't understand what they were saying. She wants everyone to think she is a smart girl so her brother will be proud of herself. She tried hard to join in the adults' conversation, but failed quickly. Everyone just smiled at her and said nothing, but little Shanna still felt unhappy.

The even more unhappy thing was yet to come. When everyone separated and prepared to rest, only my brother and little Shanna were left alone.

"Sanna, why did you pretend to understand just now?" Brother asked sternly.

"I'm sorry, brother. I...I just want everyone to think that I am a smart girl. I hope my brother can be proud of me."

Little Shanna felt extremely wronged.

╥﹏╥

But all the grievances disappeared in the next moment, because his brother hugged him tightly.

"I will always be proud of you, Shanna." Her brother stroked her head and said, "So don't do similar things next time. Only a truly smart girl has the courage to admit what she doesn't know."

"Um!"

'My brother is indeed the best brother in the world. ’ thought little Zannah.

In the days that followed, Xiao Shanna and her brother went to many places to play under the guidance of her sister-in-law and aunt.

Among them, little Shanna's favorite is a place called Disneyland. It is said that it is a Muggle amusement park. There are many entertainment facilities there, such as roller coasters, haunted houses and so on.

Of course, little Zannah doesn't like Disneyland because she likes the toys, because she doesn't think they are very fun, especially because she can't understand why all the Muggles scream so miserable. At such a low altitude and at such a slow speed, little Zannah only needs to release her magic power, and no matter what happens, she will not be harmed.

But there is one exception, and that is the haunted house.

When visiting the haunted house, her brother kept hugging her tightly and kept telling her: "Those are not dark magic creatures and cannot be killed."

In fact, after her brother introduced it, little Zannah already knew that the monsters in the haunted house were all Muggles in disguise, just like on Halloween.

But because she was startled at first, little Shanna subconsciously wanted to attack.

The reason why little Shanna likes Disneyland is because there are so many people there, so she and her brother successfully separated from her sister-in-law.

Little Sanna had a very happy day that day, although she felt a little sorry when she saw her sister-in-law sweating profusely in a hurry to find them.

…

"Do you need any service? Miss Shanna."

Lim's high-pitched voice suddenly sounded next to her, interrupting Shanna's memories.

"No, it's nothing. Has brother already gone to morning exercise?" Shanna shook her head and asked Lim.

"Yes, Miss. Master Bell got up 10 minutes earlier than usual today."

After saying goodbye to Lim, Zannah walked out of the castle and walked towards the two warehouses in the corner of the garden.

These two warehouses were built by my brother a few years ago and are specially used for training.

Although it looks like a small cube from the outside, with a length, width, and height of only about 10 meters, it has been expanded internally using the 'Seamless Stretch Spell'. So it is actually a wide space with a length, width and height of more than 100 meters, where various training plans designed by my brother can be carried out.
