Melzri glanced at the young man with a weird expression she didn't know who is he? And did why did he hiding from her within the servants and knights. did he felt nervous or feared of her she can't be sure of either of them.
" Oh brother what the hell are you doing there? " Ciel asked with a frustrated expression and he hide herself from him.
" why are you behaving like that and why did you still wore that bath robe right now? " Cyan ignored her frustration and snapped.
" It's because I forgot to carry extra clothes that's why. . . . but that's not my question why are you here? " Ciel said with a bashful face and then she grinned in anger.
Cyan turned his face to the side he don't want to gazed at her malicious, triumphed and dreadful grin. she's look horrible when she do that thing.
" I'm here because of the ancestor Vermouth told me to welcome melzri goddess and give my greetings... as It's was my duty as the next patriarch of the Lionheart family. " Cyan excused himself while keeping his face to the side.
" Sir vermouth asked you to welcome melzri goddess? " Anise asked and she furrowed both of her brows.
" That's right anise our ancestor told us cyan and me give our greetings to melzri goddess at first I was also too nervous by that but still as head lady of the family I can't back off because of just nervousness. " Ancilla replied instead of cyan in a wry grin.
" Hmm. . quite nice at least there is one one man who knows how to treat a woman unlike that bastard. . . I also quite liked vermouth he's calm and respectful towards other whether they weaker or stronger than him... that's a nice trait of a person isn't that right ariartelle? " Melzri confidently stated and she whispered to her.
" Hm. . . that's right goddess melzri 'Great Vermouth' really a noble and sophisticated person as compared to him. " Ariartelle said, as she conceding the point.
Ancilla and cyan gazed at between them with a confused look did melzri goddess already know about ariartelle ? and what had happened between she also covered her right cheek but why? did she also get some kind of weird punishment. . or something else the matter.
" Sienna and others why don't you go inside the mansion and change your clothes? Standing here with only bath robe it's will be embarrassing isn't it? " Melzri glanced over sienna and others and gave them wry grin.
Sienna and others come from thier delusional thoughts. they were thinking something strange but when melzri called them. they moved immediately to main towards the main gate of the mansion and a embarrassment expression on each of their faces witness too many gazes.
Ancilla and cyan watched them go with a crumpled expression they still understand why rai and mer appeared to young woman? when did they both turned old? before that they were in their child bodies but why they look different now. .
" So cyan. . next patriarch that bastard was hiding in his bedroom right now? can you guide me to his bedroom . . I can't sense his presence it's like he's hiding it with his powers ". Melzri asked with a gentle smile.
Cyan wouldn't denied to reject for help when a gorgeous woman like melzri goddess said with gentle smile he couldn't but think she's look too pretty didn't she? when she smiled at him.
" Sure melzri goddess it's will be my pleasure to help you. . . guiding to his bedroom wasn't a big deal for me ". Cyan smiled brightly and did a short bow.
" Ancilla your son he's a wise and noble man like vermouth. . . I can see you raised him well and your daughter ciel also had many capabilities . . you're lucky to have such prodigies children to make yourself proud ". Melzri said in a admiring tone.
" I'm so grateful oh goddess melzri to hear such pleasant words from you. . I always feel proud myself to have such great children and I did the best to served my purpose as a mother ". Ancilla greatly taken by melzri kind words. Her vision grow hazy as her eyes brimmed with happy tears.
Cyan glanced at his mother who cried in admiration and awe. he didn't like to see like that even it's happy tears so he shook his head and let out a deep sighed.
" Miss melzri goddess let's head inside the mansion. everyone was waiting was for your arrival ". Cyan proposed and said with a small smile.
" Sure I" ll follow behind you both " Melzri replied with a slight nod.
Ancilla and cyan walked at the front and servants already had gone inside the mansion to full thier duties but knights walking besides melzri to give her company and a grand welcome.
They entered inside the mansion. This new Lionheart mansion that's was designed by noir was much different from previous Lionheart mansion. everything within the mansion was too Royal and filled with artistic features. Mansion was huge had many rooms for members but still only a few dozens would live lavish and marvelous life inside this mansion.
the ceiling was created with white marble and and various astonishing designs, beautiful sculptures and wall painting that hung on the wall. a light brownish coloured tiles that a blue carpet at the middle on the forming a cross, inner fountain at a side and wide glass windows to clearly see the outside view. the flower pots also had kept inside for decorations and fresh breath.
They soon arrived at the grand Hall where already people coalesced waiting for them. some where sitting on sofas while some we're standing and talking to each other. they were many knights stationed here bowing for their head and waiting for their arrival and the servants and butlers are also here to welcome they also bowed their heads.
" goddess melzri you're finally here. .I'm waiting for your arrival . . how's your bath at our hot springs " Carmen quickly come to greet her and asked politely.
" It's a wonderful bath. . my too much mental headache was lifted now. I felt relaxed and great and this mansion just like outside view it's great was inside as well and I'm pleased to see such a mansion " she grinned widely and said while surveying the inner view of the mansion.
" It's so grateful that you like our mansion goddess melzri. . I'm patriarch of the Lionheart family gilead Lionheart and it's a pleasure to meet you ". Gilead cone to stand beside Carmen and said with a deep bow.
" And I'm his brother gion Lionheart the head of the black Lions knights . .it's pleasure to meet you goddess and I hope you liked our hospitality. " Gion said with a gentle smile and he also bowed deeply.
" Gilead and gion? the two important person of the Lionheart family. . it's nice to meet you and as your hospitality don't worry I'll enjoy it quite well. " Melzri glanced at them for a moment and said calmly.
They already had informed by Carmen tonight dinner will be personally prepared by noir at first they were greatly shocked and can't understand why she would do such thing? but she simply said it's was noir desire to do and have dinner that's was made by any brilliant chefs but why a goddess who called a true myth and much more terrifying powerful than Eugene but she's had a kind and playful personality so they don't feel fear of her.
But that's was different in melzri case. She was cold and strict if someone misbehave with her. She didn't hesitate to kill anyone who wasn't her liking and Carmen had witness that spectacle with her own eyes when she threatened melkith. everyone well aware of now she is bad tempered person and so they will their best to not make her feel bad.
" Oh goddess melzri I can't believe able to greet such a great and beautiful goddess like you . . I'm Gerhard Lionheart father of Eugene " Gerhard said with tearful expression while bursting with joy to meet her in person.
" Hmm. haha. father of eugene? well that's okay but why are you crying did something happened " Melzri snickered to see him like this.
" No it's that like that.. oh goddess melzri he cried at anytime when he feel greatly delightful tears automatically come out into in from his eyes and he always cried whenever he see his son ". Ancilla shook her head and muttered in calm voice.
Gilead, gion and Carmen simultaneously gazed at him with a strange expression while witness their constant gazes he quickly wiped his tears and give her a bright smile.
" Oh is that so? . . eugene father is too emotional but it's understandable to have a child liked him it maybe too much for a father to handle such praises of his only son accomplishments. " Melzri with a wry smile without denying the fact.
" I feel greatly proud for having him as my son despite his personality he's not bad at his heart. Gerhard declared proudly while meeting her gaze.
" Hmm... I also know he's not that bad but still he and I had too many complications between us But doesn't matter now right my sweet little darling caera? " Melzri replied with a twisted pout and she asked the child As she embrace her to chest.
𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘢? . .
Gilead and besides him everyone listen what did she said and stared at her with weird expression when she said to that child. They can't think a child could respond at this age even it's was noir child that's was still not possible. But soon their suspicious came true.
" Aunt melzri can I talk with them staying always silent it's was so boring please. . " Caera pleaded as she rubbed her cheek with her.
" Did she just talked right now . ." Carmen and others perplexed.
The whole mansion shook with fear and genuine shock when that child asked to melzri. All the knights and servants who standing there couldn't hide their terrified expression it's was not like they had seen bizzare and horrifying thing but a child would talk at this age how that is possible? .
Gilead and others eyes wide open in disbelief and their jaw dropped unconsciously because their suspicious thoughts had became true But still they can't believe a infant who just born could talk.
" My darling caera look what you have done. . you make them terrified it's was difficult for humans to understand that you could talk with infant body of yours " Melzri sighed deeply and she reminded her.
" oh goddess melzri. . . did caera really can talk? " Carmen asked with genuine shocked despite already had revealed by melzri.
" hmm. . why don't you ask herself.. fine you can talk, afterall, you already created a mess here. " Melzri clicked her tongue in frustration and said with a sneer.
" I know even if you acted tough and cold but you are gentle and warm from inside didn't you aunt melzri " Caera smirked at melzri.
Gilead and others stayed silent and took deep breaths to calm thier emotions. they came to know it's natural she can talk because she's noir's child a true myth goddess considered a goddess child normal.. . it's was arrogant to even guess as they maintain their composure.
" Cheeky brat.. you sure know how to melt my heart didn't you? " Melzri snapped at her.
" That's right ... you're the best after mama aunt melzri you are only person that I love the most. " Caera said in a tempting voice.
" Hmm. . fine enough of your flirtatious words and say your greetings to them but in a polite manner okay? " Melzri said with blushed face and she whispered softly.
Caera gazed passionately at Gilead and everyone who's standing in front of her. She looked at each of the servants, Butler's and knights expression as she considering the atmosphere around her felt filled with tension and seriousness.
"Don't get feared of me hah. . I'm just a child and I promised to not hurt any of you. . and you guess I'm completely powerless . . and it's a pleasure to meet you all " Caera promised and she giggled.
None of them dared to reply at her words and keep their silenced. A child fluent conversation make them feel weird at this astonishing sight.
" Hmm. . no reply fine don't talk and just listen to my words as you may aware I'm caera child of a myth goddess and my idiot father. . who didn't come to greet her only daughter . . that pathetic coward how dare he not show himself ". Caera grumbled and she said with a pout.
Pathetic coward. . this child sure has to much courage to called his father like that. .? Gilead and others thought involuntary and swallowed nervous gulp by young child unbelievable courage.
" Miss caera my son is not a coward but what I can say he's having problems to come out and I don't know why he behave like that. " Gerhard mustered up courage to whisper.
Caera swift her gaze towards Gerhard and glared at him with her narrowed eyes for a moment. Gerhard felt like he did a great mistake by making her anger so he simply decided to apologized before he could do. . .
" look at that my idiot father's father taking stand for his son. . hmm it's natural for you to react like this isn't that right grandma? " Caera admitted and turned her gaze over to ancillia.
" Grandma? " Ancillia repeated with a exclamation voice.
" Don't act too shocked you're my idiot father step mother didn't you? well in that case you're my grandma if you don't like it? then I'll call you head mistress sounds good? " . Caera said with mischievous smile.
" no. .. Caera call me whatever you want. I don't mind a sweet and beautiful child like you " Ancillia shook her head and said with a bewildered expression.
" And you can me uncle. . it's sounds too weird to say but I'm Eugene's brother " cyan said with some slight hesitation.
" Hmm. . my idiot father's brother? no you're a kid I can't call you uncle it's weird for me to say ". Caera shook her head and smiled bitterly.
" What are you saying? are you not also a kid and you're much younger than me right? "cyan mused while giving her a confused look.
" it's seems you're too curious to know why? it's simply because it's true I have a infant body but my intelligence and consciousness is much higher than yours so it's not possible for me to adress you as uncle. . got it cyan Lionheart? ". Caera said teasingly and then asked him.
cyan just swallowed hard by a child mockery words, his cheeks twitched slight ly in frustration but still he nod to accept her words.
" Goddess melzri why you didn't inform to us that caera can genuinely talk? " Seinna asked hurriedly to stood beside carmen.
Anise and others come to stood beside other main family members. they now dress up into thier causal comfortable clothes. they didn't wore lavish attire for just a family dinner and even they wore it's sound absurd because they are not going to a party or something.
Ceil dressup her new lionheart uniform like Carmen and Gilead. while rai and mer who's appearance had changed into a young lady wore loose pants and plan white shirts while ariartelle had wore red loosen kimono type dress.
