" It's not a big deal Sienna. . .so I thought it didn't necessary for me to inform you all " Melzri said stiffly.
Sienna and others glanced at her with a puzzled expression unable to understand her reason. It's this really not important?
A child who's just a merely weeks old can do fluent conversation and even mocking adults not a big deal? . maybe it's for them but for melzri goddess it's normal.
" did noir know about this already caera can talk at this age? " Anise asked Skeptically.
" yeah! Her highness know everything the fact she didn't talked it's simply because she don't know you all and I taught her not to talk with a stranger ". Melzri replied in a solemn voice.
Hmm. . . step mothers that's right. I listened only to mama and aunt melzri while idiot father he is pathetic , disgraceful and irresponsible who wouldn't care about her daughter? well doesn't matter. . I" ll take my revenge on him later. .but first allow me to introduce myself I'm caera the great, the mighty caera and the invincible caera ". Caera proudly said, as she opened arms wide.
The silenced fell within the grand Hall when she did a declaration like this. This child would even make seinna and others mouth glute shut. Her pride is too high at this age? Calling herself invincible without any powers? what could she do when became old. The members of the family Gilead and others never seen such a miraculous and mysterious child.
Sienna and others let out a depressed sigh what they would say to reply at her self proclaimed words. it's doesn't matter if they feel frustrated by her words she still just a child so they simply decided to ignore her words.
"don't act too high and mighty in front of me just because you're precious to me I won't tolerate your filthy nonsense. . .do you understand caera? ". Melzri did a light tap with finger in her head and she narrowed her eyes in irritation.
" I' I'm sincerely apologized aunt melzri . My tongue got slipped slightly " Caera turned paled and replied with a shaky voice.
Caera gazed around her everyone staring at her with weird and strange expression she can't handle such constant gazes of the people. she never was in the presence of many gazes. her face turned red with embarrassment and she rubbed her head against melzri chest and she decided not look back so he put her head in her embrace.
" what's she is doing? isn't that a embarrassing sight melzri goddess ". Sienna demanded with a light blush.
" It's not new she's always did like this in my temple when she get embarrassed rubbing her head against my chest and she also do the same with her highness so don't mind her ". Melzri sighed softly as she patted caera back.
" miss goddess melzri it's look like caera was too special for you didn't she? you never mind her actions whatever she did? " Carmen asked wryly at this astounding sight.
" hmm. . That's right she's special and precious to me not because she's her highness child but because of this child I don't feel lonely and depressed. I spent a too much time in isolation while protecting caera for multiple eras. . . And you also can say I didn't lose my mind because of this child " Melzri said with a sad smile and her eyes filled with tears.
Everyone stayed silent at these words. they can't even imagine how long melzri goddess had spent time in isolation? and how she survived while Fulfilling her duties. It's was too brutal and harsh even for a goddess to spend that much in loneliness. they can just marveled at melzri goddess to survive to that dreadful isolation.
Melzri wiped her tears with he fingers. She did a deep sighed she can't emotional to show her emotions so she changed her expression like her always cold and calm mask.
" Fufu what I'm talking about my past to you all let's keep that later. Ceil where is Vermouth and molon did they tried to dragged him or not? " Melzri asked with a hearty laugh.
Ceil come forward to stand beside sienna and carmen. she wanted to say something to sympathies with melzri goddess's past but she can't do that what if she get mad at her? and in the first place she can't understand her despair and pain so she shook that thought.
" No it's not possible for them to do. . Sir Molon and uncle Vermouth tried their best to convince him but he didn't come out of his room ". Ceil shook her head and then she grinned wryly.
" We also tried to storm over his room and dragged Sir Eugene out but he protected his room with his divinity powers. . " Kristian said with a slight frustrated expression.
" I can't believe what kind of person he had became now. . . It's now like her highness slapped him on his face so why did he get hidden in his bedroom ". Melzri snorted in disbelief while glancing over to ariartelle.
Ariartelle unconsciously put her hand on her right cheek to remind the slapped that she get. She can understand maybe why he hidden from her because she'll make too much fun of him and mock him until she satisfied.
Seinna and others stared at ariartelle with a pity expression for a moment, but they settled thier gazes again on melzri goddess who's thinking something deeply.
" I have quite a nice idea. . Fucking bastard wherever you right now come and face me coward. . why are you hiding? from me or her highness? whatever maybe the case if you don't come out in 10 seconds I"ll declared you today onwards God of cowards instead of God of war. " Melzri said in a mocking tone and her voice echoing the whole mansion.
Everyone put both of their hands to cover ears because... melzri true voice is difficult to handle even that's a calm voice without any anger or frustration but the impact force was too much for them.
" 10. 9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2 ." melzri begin her count down.
" Stopped it " A loud voice come from a height.
Everyone gazed at the direction of that voice what they seen eugene was standing at the living room that's was at a above place from the grand hall. He glared at with bloodshot eyes filled with rage and hatred. He scratched his hair in frustration and a dark red lipstick mark still on his cheeks but right now he's not covering that mark.
Melzri stared at him with a satisfied smile. She liked that look on his face. She wanted to do much fun by insulting and mocking to the fullest that he could remember his whole life but now she suppressed the urge to do so because of a mere sympathy that she held towards him.
" what is that you want you bit. . . " Eugene stopped himself midway because too many gazes even seinna and others. the members of main family directing eager look of anticipation towards him. So he decided to swallowed the curses that he about to blurt out on her.
" Oh my my. . Eugene come down here. did you feared me that much. . oh is that true God of war feared of me? melzri ? I guess it's true that's why you can't stand in front of me " Melzri stated mockingly and as wide grin formed on her lips.
Eugene didn't replied to her nonsense. He felt disdain, rage and contempt whenever he show her face that's look beautiful but there is evil and malicious woman hidden behind that face. his mind boiling his extreme rage and anger when she said those words to him.
Eugene disappeared from that place and appeared instantly in front of her to stand besides sienna and anise. Everyone stared at him wide eyes and fearful expression when he appeared out of nowhere? especially sienna and others they didn't know Eugene can do instant teleportation when he learned to do that but melzri expression remain calm.
eugene glared at her with cold subdued that filled with extreme rage he already suffered too much bullying by molon and cyan. even servants and knights were laughing at him secretly. he never witness such humiliation in his life but he can't erase that mark also because of noir amusing punishment. he just thought it's could be best if she just slapped him or break his bones despite doing this.
" Fufu. . Oh Eugene don't give that look. Do you really think I"ll get scared of you. . don't worry I won't mock you now I can understand you suffered such humiliation and embarrassment already didn't you? why did you act it's only remain within mansion ". Melzri said with a short laugh.
" why are you calling me what it is that you want? " Eugene spat out with a frustrated sighed.
" Hmm. . nothing seem you like this make me greatly satisfied and I thought it would be more entertaining if your whole face covered with lip stick Right? " Melzri inquired with a seductive smile.
" Cut the filthy nonsense. . I'm not here for your entertainment got it and come to the point why are you calling me there is still much time for dinner didn't it? " Eugene said with twisted scowl.
" I'm missing you that's I called you with my sweet and gentle voice did my voice reached to your heart my eugene ". Melzri said teasingly and she winked at him.
Eugene stared at her with disgusted and crumpled expression. why did she acting like this? My Eugene? what did she mean by that. . her voice reached to his heart what the hell was going on with her not only eugene but sienna and others, the main family couldn't hide their genuine shocked expression they didn't expect melzri could say such things to him.
" Just kidding fucking bastard.. well that's true I was missing you because of caera she want to spend time with you. So I didn't want my darling caera get upset so behave like a good father ". Melzri clicked her tongue in distaste and she come closer to eugene.
Eugene didn't understand her what she want? did that words really just fun for her. he stared at caera who's eyes sparkling with interest. It's right he didn't spend time with her so she simply want to make caera feel better. he took caera firmly in his embrace. melzri take multiple step back from him.
" you just did that to make caera feel better? " Eugene asked with a confused look.
" Or what do you expect anything else? " Melzri raised a brow unable to understand her words.
" No I didn't see you like that . . why did you behave like that? when you always get frustrated or hated me and you wanted to take revenge on me didn't you?" Eugene said with narrowed eyes in interest.
" The reason I hate you it's simply because you act idiotic and unbecoming of man.. And I'm not some kind of monster so don't treat me like that ". melzri shook her head and smiled wryly.
Eugene stared into her eyes for a moment without muttering a word. He understand now why she acting like this within those cold and calm eyes there is unbearable amount of anguish had hidden. he don't know her completely and can't imagine how much time she had spent alone.
After a moment of silence, he glanced around to see everyone waiting for his answer to reply. those constant gazes staring at like he was responsible for this. he took multiple breaths and steadied his breath.
" when I treat you like a monster.. So don't blame on me that you're some kind of righteous person.. " Eugene scoffed.
" Hmm.. that's good I'm going to the kitchen to talk some important matter with her highness and caera is also hungry so I"ll prepared a soup for her until then talk with her. She wanted to say so much to you ". Melzri said in a calm voice.
" didn't you cared too much about caera ? And what kind of important matter.. " Eugene asked her with a wry grin.
" Hmm. . do you know how many eras? I spend with caera when she was in her highness worm.. I survived because of her that long. I can't even go outside of the temple because of the oath I made with fate goddess. you can't understand my pain and anguish that I felt even I dragon goddess felt despair without caera I would have died a long time ago.. . me and her highness are same we both fight against our fate and despair and caera finally born as a blessing for both of us that's give us a new Life.
I didn't give birth to caera but for me she's important more than my own life. In those eras I made every possible and desperate attempt to protect caera that one day she safely born without any complication and finally all my efforts proved successful.. After suffered that long I reunited with her highness it's so grateful and miraculous moment in my broken and meaningless life when I meet her again not only that caera also came in my life... If caera or neither her highness come in my life.. I wouldn't think it's possible for me to stand right now.. Melzri delivered a long explanation and she smiled faintly.
The silenced fell again in the grand hall by melzri heart wrenching words. No one cried or neither even say something to sympathies because the burden of each words too much for them to understand. they just low their head to feel awe towards her. despair that melzri had felt was beyond imagination. They came to understand why caera too important for her.
Eugene stared at her empty and blank expression. he didn't cry by her words because he thought it would be insult to her. Not Eugene seinna and others., Ariartelle, rai and mer do the same. She doesn't want my empathy but understanding. there was too much pain beyond each word she said just now . Spending a long duration of time would break anyone even they are God or goddess.
" Hmm... Thanks for listening " she pressed at her chest and felt like she vented out some of her grievances that she hidden inside her for too long . " I feel lighten to lift some of grievances and I can't say these words to her highness because If I do she'll put all the blaming on her shoulders and cursed herself and I don't want that to happen. She also suffered too much just like me so I can't blame her And she is also important for me.
Before Eugene could say anything to her. she turned around and disappeared in to blue mist. he stared at the remains of the mist with a worried expression maybe he could do something for but what? he himself don't know not only noir but melzri also had gone through the same pain and terrible suffering.
" Idiot father thanks alot.. Because of you I able to listened to aunt melzri true emotions and words that she held inside her for that long. " Caera glanced at his face with a sad smile.
