Chapter 231 231 Marciel family

[El's POV: ]

From what we know there were around twelve members of the royal family that had started the barrier all those years ago and after they found out there was no need for the barrier around some three hundred years ago, they started living a normal life and through intermarriages among themselves, they were able to create their own little family of around a hundred people that lived in that relatively large space.

Then, one day, a strange illness started spreading among their people that couldn't be treated with their holy powers and thanks to that, people started dying.

'Lastly, only one family of four remained.'

A couple that was one of the few originators of their people, members of the original royal family, who had a relatively longer lifespan than the others of their family due to their stronger holy powers, and their children who were pretty young compared to the other children of their parents' relatives, had also inherited their powers.

However, the disease that was spreading there wasn't unavoidable forever.

'Everyone aside from the family of four passed away and, the couple, after their young children had grown up a bit, should have also put them under a certain preservative spell with most of their remaining power before perishing…'

That's what should have happened, however, there were three glowing golden eyes behind the white door, and, from the way one of them looked older than the two younger ones, I could tell things had changed from what they used to be in our game.

-Swiiiiiiiiish!

Another attack came flying towards us, however, different from before, Lucy had already assumed his battle form and had used his movement skills to vanish from the place we were at, and after redirecting the powerful blow, he went straight inside the room and, reached the archer that had attacked us twice.

-Click!

Then, he used his [Horizontal slash] at the next attack she was preparing.

"That is enough! Why are you attacking us?!"

Then he started his act that we had planned beforehand with a little bit of improvisation according to the current situation.

'His adaptability to the situation is as amazing as ever…'

He was able to approach them and stop an attack from someone far, far stronger than him, giving me the necessary moment to get back on my feet.

"??? Narjak buhin nu?n? Latak?!"

The three people inside with golden eyes and gold-like blond hair, an older woman more attractive than comically sexy angels, and two young ones that seemed to be siblings were also surprised when they noticed the one that opened the door was someone with human characteristics.

However, the question she shouted at him was translated to "What are you?" Instead of the usual "Who are you?".

[ "Hello miss! He's my darling! Can you please calm down a moment and put your weapon away?" ]

I would have used my interpersonal communication if I did not know their language, but, well, both of us knew this language since we had learned it from those two younger ones hiding behind their mother.

'She looks as attractive as I remember… and her original blond hair suits her better than those black ones. And that little cute younger brother of hers… haaaa… I wanna bite his cute little cheeks.'

They should have been the only ones to survive and, they should have been a little younger than they look right now. Which meant things were different from what we knew.

And, from how their mother was here in perfect condition and, their father's body was lying inside that [Hibernative power replenisher], it seems they did not have to give their lives and seal away their children completely.

They must have found that alternative method to save all their lives.

'And I know for a fact they did not find it out on their own.'

I'm curious now.

Did the association president find them and give them some hint or was there some other variable?

[ "Hmmm? Y-you. Can you understand our language?" ]

[ "Of course we can… well, it's thanks to my skill, but we can! Please put that down and let's talk! We have no intention of harming anyone here!" ]

Those attacks she fired weren't serious ones at all.

She was almost on the same level as the association president, so, if she wanted to, she could have almost killed us with her stronger attacks.

[ "No! The presence I sensed! It was different from yours! It was more threatening than that damned demon! What are you hiding?!" ]

I guessed as much. Those attacks were too unexpected.

[ "I don't know what you are trying to say by that, but there was no one here aside from us and our familiars." ]

She still had her guard up, her elder daughter was chanting a spell in case we do something dangerous, however, her younger son was looking behind us, at the gate that was still open, with his eyes sparkling with genuine stars.

[ "Familiars? No! Familiars cannot have that kind of-" ]

[ "Mama! Look! Look! They are so pretttty~!" ]

She was still not perfectly sure of our nature so she wasn't putting away her bow. However, as soon as the young cutie pointed at the door, her eyes shifted their attention for the first time, and, she saw something she certainly was not expecting to see in a place like this.

[ "Divinities…" ]

The bloodline skill of the Marciel family, [Eyes of light].

As the descendants of divine and natural-born masters of holy energy, they could see and interact with divine beings without the assistance of the System.

So, when she saw Anna and Cary who were still at the door, waiting for our command, she saw the divinities for the first time in her hundreds of years of life in this damned prison.

[ "They have arrived… they have arrived, at last." ]

The great bow in her hands dropped, and she knelt down on the ground with tears on the edge of her eyes.

She was emotional, happy, relieved even.

The explosion of emotions she was expressing was new for her children who did not understand why her mom was crying after seeing those pretty-looking creatures.

'In their eyes, Anna and my useless Cary must be looking like a cluster of pretty stars or something equally ethereal.'

They could see the divinities or the divine power that the divine beings possessed.

They could converse with them, visions and oracles from them, And they could also borrow their power when needed.

This power was the main reason we wanted them. But, they had many more uses so, let's see how this goes.

[ "M-mama? What happened?! Why are you crying?!" ]

[ "Mom, what's wrong?! What did you two do to her?!" ]

The elder sister looked the same age as us, however, inside this place, age did not matter.

Their mom was several hundred years old even though she was a human and they also should be at least around a few decades old by the time, perhaps.

It did not matter anyway.

[ "It's nothing, Kitty. I am alright… more than that, Ben, would you mind waking up your father?" ]

She seemed to be happy, yet sad for some reason.

The young ones could not figure out what was happening, however, the smart little boy nodded at his mother's request and went to the capsule-like artifact where his father was resting, removing his lost powers. And, the girl, Kittyweltina Joseph Gabriel De Marciel, or Kitty as we will call her, continued pointing her holy spell at us with uncertain eyes.

Divinity or not, it did not matter to her. What she worried about was her family, and for them, she could go against even those so-called divine beings if needed.

'Her this certain characteristic was the reason she was going to be Lucy's Joker of Hearts.'

And I was gonna have little Benedict in our adventurer's party, but, since we also have their parents now, we will have to make some adjustments.

[ "So, Lu? What now?" ]

Before us was a wide space, an open area that resembled the medieval shrines with pillars on all sides and an open area in the middle.

Under our feet was a giant magic circle that looked pretty complicated, there were doors behind these pillars, and behind the doors used to be private chambers of the different families, however, after their deaths, those places must only contain their graves now.

There were different areas for different things here as well, like the kitchen to cook food and a storage area to store supplies, however, the most attractive thing in this open area was the capsule-like artifact that they were using to replenish their energy by using the atmospheric Mana.

It was a useful artifact so, I will be taking that with us. However, right now, sleeping inside this capsule was a young-looking man with a body more attractive and mature than my Lucy and more attractive physical features than the most charming entity we had seen until now.

The mother and two children certainly looked hot and attractive, however, it was nothing before that man who had just woken up from his slumber before the required time was up.

'It was a forced cutout, and, though he was surprised at first when he saw his anxious-looking young boy when he observed what was going on in the surroundings, he grasped the gist of what was happening.

And, when he saw Cary and Anna coming back to us, he grasped everything that was happening and smiled happily.'

He was definitely misunderstanding many things right now. All of them were if I say so myself.

'And, as I know my darling, if there's a misunderstanding, he will undoubtedly exploit it.'

I can sense he was cooking something through our link.

Which ultimately means something fun is going to happen now~.

'Hehehehe…'
