Chapter 723 Family reunion
?[OP: ]
They introduced their friends to little Anna one by one starting with Quin, then the good Lizzy, fairy Titania, ice witch Luna, and wizard Hide who was uncomfortably stunned by Anna's cuteness.
They introduced Deleon and Ezra to her, and both of these people had unique questions for her that she was not expecting.
In case of the others, Anna's had given them a little hug as a welcome greeting. However, Ezra asked her how she was maintaining such great pure power inside her without suffering.
However Anna didn't understand her question.
She herself did not know much about her powers yet so Eon answered her in her stand and told her how she was 'being protected' by a powerful force.
He did not say outright she was blessed by one of the great goddesses of this world but Ezra understood what he wanted to say from that vague answer.
Delon on the other hand asked her if he could 'play' with her friend Povpois and the lizardman.
His choice of words were perfect before her and his curiosity towards those creatures was pure so Anna saw nothing malicious in his intentions.
She could feel the things with her unique powers so if he had expressed even a hint of harm towards her friends, he would have had to face serious consequences, but thankfully… he played it smart and got Anna to promise him she would let him play with them.
Little did he know though, he would not be able to do his 'research' on them as peacefully as he wanted to.
She had only given him permission to play with them, she never said he will be able to do it alone in his own assigned room…
Anna knew this person as the Slime summoner, someone who possessed so many slimes that in some parts of the continent, he was also called (Father of slimes).
She made him promise he would show all his slimes to her. And thinking it was only an innocent request from a little girl, he agreed to it without much thought as well. Underestimating the little girl that everyone called (Ruler of Heliox).
Their greetings continued, and when it came to Miss Mia, Anna first congratulated her, greeted her a little from the others, and told her how fun it was for her to watch them work on all their things, as well as how amazed she was when Miss Mia received her title.
It was her first time seeing anything like that since she had never seen Eon going through the Entitlement process.
She told them how she enjoyed all their rounds and performances and how she knew from the start that their team was going to win for sure.
Anna was happy… so she gave her a Kiss. Her special kiss that not even Quin had received today.
And after receiving it, Mia was stunned, and left with her eyes open wide.
The special kiss had washed her entire being with a kind of calmness that was practically unreal to her.
It was unfashionable…
She has had this weight on her heart that she herself could not understand. Something that had been bothering her since the moment that unknown figure gave her that strange looking elixir.
But that all disappeared completely and she was feeling the most refreshed she had felt in the last few weeks.
She didn't understand what this was or if it was just her imagination, but she was certainly feeling better after that little kiss. So she thanked Anna.
And then it was Ball's turn.
Anna knew how this person was very helpful to her big brother's entire team, so she thanked him and patted his head.
She had met Prince Claud and Princess Bell already but she greeted them once again this time in an informal manner, and she was especially excited around Princess Bell, who was introduced to her by her big brother Alfred.
She was very good at understanding the feelings one had for someone else. So even though Alf and Princess did not understand it themselves, she could tell how there was this special connection between her brother and this pretty princess.
And, same as them, she could also tell how there was a unique connection between the purple cat that Anna adored like any other familiar present with them and her master prince.
It was different from the connections others had with their families or the connections the adults had with their ladies but something unique. More special. And something she could not understand just yet…
She was uncertain what to call their connection, so, she just left it at that and they moved on with their introductions.
Nd though it took a while, it was time well spent for them.
They got to know the most amazing person of this house that they were going to stay in for the following few days, and though they had yet to meet everyone else, they were already in a much better mood…
"Then, everyone, I will take my leave.
Grandpa Zhen and the others will show you the way to your rooms and you can tell them if you need anything.
We usually have dinner late in the evening so you can get fresh and have a walk around the house or the garden if you want.
Alf's house is right on the other side of the road so you can go there and see his great collection of books or, Aunt Haze's flowers if you are interested in it.
The knights should be training right now so have Chry with you if you want to go and see the knights and mages.
There isn't exactly any forbidden place in this house but still, if you want to go in a specific room that you do not know anything about, I advise you all to be careful or there might be some 'accidents'."
He knew they couldn't access the important places even if they wanted to, so he bid his farewell to the others with that small warning and walked up the stairs with Rein.
Zoe and others were there to take care of their friends so they can focus on what was more important at that moment.
"They will first be emotional and then serious."
"Nah. They will be serious first, curse at us, ask for the things that we did, things that happened and only after they are satisfied, will they start the greeting and hugging."
They were coming back home after weeks and that too not from their school, but from a city that was covered in blood, demonic energy and dead bodies a few hours ago.
They were coming back from war, a battlefield where they had fought themselves. Where they could have gotten hurt, where they could have almost died… and they did not tell any of them about any of this.
Their family was obviously not happy about how they did this. Without telling them, however, they understood it was for the better. And they were not kids anymore.
They can do what they wanted to do just that it was better if they would have perhaps told the others a little about what they were going to do or at least what was even happening.
However, they did not do so. And as a result, now they had many things to tell and many things to discuss as not only family, but also as the representatives of their households who will play a central role in many things going forward.
They knew it wasn't about them or the two of them anymore.
The matter had become so political that they had to understand the core of the matter and do every single thing with the consequences in their minds.
-Knock. Knock.
All of them had gathered on the top floor, or in Eon's personal room on the terrace so they knocked on the door on the right side of his main office that came right after entering the floor.
"Come in."
And an older voice that they recognised as the voice of the Marchioness of this family commanded from behind that door.
-Click.
They entered the room after receiving permission. And as soon as they did, he saw his two grandparents sitting on two throne-
like chairs in the middle of the room that did not belong to this place.
"Come here and sit down, you two."
There were two sofas aligned on both their sides, on one were sitting his first and second aunt along with his second uncle Theo, while on the other sat his mom along with four different communication crystals.
"Yes…"
They can tell they were going to take the serious approach first as Eon had guessed and from how the four communications belonging to his father and first uncle, and her parents and grandparents were also already on, they knew this talk was not going to go as smoothly as they wanted it to be.
"Start speaking and tell us from the start how everything happened. And please, do not leave any details behind. Even if it might be difficult to hear for some of us." His grandpa ordered with a serious look on his face, completely different from the calm one he had when they arrived here.
The atmosphere in this room they were well accustomed to was heavy right now, and just from the looks on all their faces, the two of them could tell the situation had started to spread like a wildfire in all directions already.
"It all started when we received a personal Request from the headmaster…"
The two of them knew what they had to do right now.
As well as what was going to come after they were done with this serious talk…
