Eugene glanced at the caera's sad face. he stared into those eyes of a child that's not just a ordinary child eyes. he can understand without even asking she's also suffered too much and wanted to say much overcame her anguish and fear just like melzri.
Eugene let out a shaky breath, he didn't know what to say in these moments so he decided he"ll listen to the child's what she wanted to discuss with him.
" I didn't aware there was too much anguish and suffering goddess melzri hide behind her face ". Seinna remarked.
" Hmm. . those emotions and words are too burdened and painful. . . I can't dared to say that I can understand melzri goddess 's tragic past " Anise said with wry grin.
" I thought goddess melzri always hide her emotions that's no one can understand her but now when she revealed to Sir Eugene because she's trusted him to understand her despair ". kristiana muttered in a low voice.
" Living a isolated life for that long and can't do anything for herself is too unfair and disastrous. . even a goddess like her can't able to handle such tragedy like loneliness. " Ciel voiced out her inner thoughts with tearful expression.
" I also can't understand behind the burden of each words that she spoke just now but I can guess it's help her to lift that burden maybe a bit. . . " eugene replied after a moment and smiled bitterly.
" Hamel. . . So you finally come out from your room and what's going on here? why the air here felt with too much seriousness ". Vermouth come to besides anise and asked him.
Molon also had come to stand beside him and he watched everyone faces that's was filled with tension and sadness. he can understand something serious had happened but he can't be sure what is that? . .
" Father vermouth. . . Melzri goddess was telling about her tragic back story a moment ago. . . " Carmen hesitated and glanced over to other family members and said with a faint smile " maybe you can understand if you listen the full story from caera. "
" Did that child can talk? And miss goddess melzri tragic past. . hmm I can't be sure but judging by your expression it's truly will be misfortune or burdening backstory ". Vermouth muttered in a low voice.
" It's certainly too tragic and misfortune. . Sir Vermouth and Molon it's a pleasure to meet you both and thanks for taking care of my idiot father. " Caera said with a slight nod and she grinned wryly.
Vermouth and Molon stared at that child that's was hamel's embrace with wide eyes and open mouth. They were genuinely shocked to hear such unexpected words from a child's mouth.
" hmm. . Why you always call me idiot? and when you called them both now Sir. . . Isn't a bit a unfair? ". Eugene asked with a tiled head in confusion.
" That's because you're idiot idiot idiot idiot and idiot got that " Caera said with a angry look.
Eugene turned glute silent by her reason. it's that true I really was idiot? that I can't understand anyone hidden emotions or feelings if that's true. . how can I do that if they both of them don't explain anything to him.
Vermouth and others couldn't help but let a short laugh when she said those words to hamel to make her complete silent. the main family members barely suppresed the urge to giggle to see hamel like this.
" Ahh hmm. . let's talk what you want to do discuss with me " eugene said with a embarassed cough.
Eugene sit down at a nearby sofa seats of the grand hall with vermouth and others. he told the servants and knights to give them some space to have a conversation. So knights and servants gone to thier respective duties. few servants had remain to fulfill thier needs and knights had moved outside to guard the mansion.
The main family members also wanted to listen to her story so eugene allow them to sit with them but only important members. Gilead, Gion, Carmen, Ancilla and Cyan had taken their seats in front of them.
Eugene stared at the ariartelle he had been informed by the Carmen that ariartelle arrived Lionheart mansion two weeks but for what purpose? he didn't know and he thought maybe she just come here for a reunion so he didn't care much but he glared at the two young woman wide eyes he know who they are but they look two different now.
" Sienna can you tell me why the hell those two kids had suddenly became adults "? Eugene retorted at her.
" what are you saying? eugene those two already had lived more than 200 years how you considered them just children ". Sienna excused her actions with turned face to the side.
" That's right hamel those two are not kids and they also want to become adults not want to live more in thier child bodies and they also look pretty so what's the problem? ". Anise snorted in disbelief.
" Benefactor don't get mad. . . I didn't do this because of my own volition goddess Melzri told me a true dragon always listen to her heart ". Rai said proudly while puffing out her chest.
" hm. Hmm And for me. . . well you know Sir Eugene I don't want Rai to surpass me even in beauty and maturity so I also changed into adult maybe you liked us much more now ". Mer cleared her throat and said with blushed face.
" did I hate you when you both. . . Nevermind do whatever you do I don't give a shit " Eugene said with a frustrated sigh.
" why you always ask dumb question? . . those two kids looked much better now I caera also admit that living into a child body when you are not a child physically isn't it a bit annoyed and betrayal " Caera said with a mischievous smile.
" You are also a child so don't talk nonsense? and how you can talk with these much sincerity and fluent when you just weeks old ". Eugene shouted and asked with a suspicious tone.
" Hmm. . idiot father I" ll tell everything how I born? my bond with aunt melzri and pain or suffering that I felt. . In those years but first I wanted to say I maybe in a infant body but my soul had already born 300 years ago when you and mother had reincarnated ". Caera said with a serious tone.
" What the hell? you already born 300 years ago but how that's possible? ". Eugene was greatly taken aback.
Vermouth and the main family members also listened what she said they look at her eyes full of disbelief and fear. they couldn't believe her words because it's soud ridiculous and unbelievable how a child who just born saying she already had born 300 years ago.
" Hmm. . It's natural to get shocked so in that's case my mental age is beyond not any ordinary child but also beyond human But that's true I just a child for aunt melzri and mama. . 300 years ago when you were fighting against demon kings with hero's party and mama had became a night demon . . I already born in a spiritual body when both of you first come in contact even as enemies. you both seen each other and that's was enough for me to build my consciousness ". Caera delivered a short explanation and smiled bitterly.
Eugene just stayed silent after these words. it's still difficult for him to understand she build her own consciousness when they both come in contact first?. he stared down at her face. caera was sitting on his thighs and he put a hand on her head to comforted her.
" Aunt melzri really suffered more than me and mama. She spent a long immeasurable amout of time alone. when I born as a spiritual soul I don't know who I am? why I here? and these dragon that always protect me who is she? And where my parents? I don't know anything. . I desperately wanted answers that time aunt Melzri lost her mind already. . She became a living dead body who had lost all her emotions and completely broken from inside. I saved her from her loneliness and suffering just like she always protect me I also did the same. " Caera said with tearful eyes but didn't falter her smile.
" I didn't know you and she suffered that. . I still don't know what to say but I feel to apologize to you maybe If I know about agorath reincarnation my life as hamel. . I could have come to saved you both ". Eugene with bloodshot eyes and in a desperate voice.
" Idiot father don't feel bad for me and aunt melzri. . aunt melzri didn't want your pity over her she's a dragon goddess and she don't want anyone to feel pitiful towards her what she want understanding and comfort and she was much better now as compared to 300 years ago. There is much to say so listen to my words first. " Caera grumbled and said with lips pout.
Eugene take a deep sighed to maintain his calm and he did a slight nod with a bitter smile. Sienna and others stared at him with a worried expression not only noir but melzri goddess and caera also suffered brutal fate. they wanted to say something to comfort her but how can they to a child who suffered a tragic fate just before her birth.
" Back then aunt melzri always remain in her dragon form. at first I get scared because of her dragon form is truly terrifying and humongous. She rarely transform into her human form when I forced her too much to do. . I asked her why she always remain In her dragon form she just replied . . A true dragon never showed weakness to anyone. . I didn't respond to her weird answer. She taught me everything about the world, who I am? my parents? And how I born as a spiritual soul because I'm not a human but a special entity created by the life force of two gods.
Eugene just stayed silent. He maintain his calm and emotions with a blank and empty expression to listen her whole story.
" Aunt melzri told me my mama will come one day for me to saved us both but when? and how long it'll take? neither she or I don't know. So I waited for her and spend time with aunt melzri. I can't even go in her embrace because I just a soul that time. I cried so desperately to reached my voice to mama but she never respond to my desperate crisis and voice. At first I truly hated and cursed her how she forgot her own child? did she don't care I live or die . . what kind of mother she is? did she just a narcissistic person who only cared about herself. " Caera grunted desperately and said in hoarse voice.
Eugene just held his tongue not to respond even he desperately wanted to say something but what? he can't think of anything she hated noir because she's not respond to her voice. there is too much anguish behind her voice. he can't imagine a child suffered such terrible fate.
Vermouth and others looked at her with tearful expression they can't believe this astonishing sight. Listening a child despair and fate broke their hearts. The main members family also cried a bit after listening such horrific words coming from a child mouth. Ariartelle also lost her parents in era of war. she can understand maybe a bit how it's feel like to spend time alone. Rai and mer cried without holding back.
Caera wiped her tears and form a bright smile on her face. she took multiple deep breath and put her head on Eugene chest for a moment to calm her emotional mind. Eugene put her forehead on back of her head to comfort her. caera turned back and give him a bright smile.
" But I was wrong about mama. she don't remember me and how could she know me when she don't herself who is she? she's reincarnated into a demon folk and her divinity power's had gone completely." Caera said with sad voice and she continued
" I was informed by aunt melzri mama fighting against her fate and that was much worse than my own. Aunt melzri told me when you know about your reincarnation mama also came to know who is she? and she regained her memories but that's memories still incomplete because of the promise that mama made with fate goddess. After the end of destruction her memories completely back and her divinity power also she's no longer a cursed goddess now. "
" just because of that shitty and terrible promise three lives suffered tragedy and I see why melzri too obsessed with you that she considered you more than her own life. " eugene clicked his tongue and then grinned wryly.
" I can't disagree with you idiot father that promise really was terrible and brutal for us. " Caera said with a nod and she continued her explanation " But that was important to end the destruction it's not your fight only but her also. hmm. . after that terrible promise finally lifted from her. I cried again and tried my voice reached to mama but this time she finally respond and come to me.... After giving birth to my physical body. She hold me in her embrace and cried desperately for whole two weeks and apologized to me many times and aunt melzri also cried to see me and mama. "
" Hmm. . I can't even imagine that spectacle when noir and melzri both cried desperately to see you fine and well because I never seen both of their true emotions it's still feel like they both hide something from me " Eugene said with a faint smile.
" It's because they both are same. their personality maybe be different but way of thinking is nearly similar it's painful and burdening for them to say these words. well that doesn't matter now " Caera replied in solemn tone, she hesitant for a moment to glanced at everyone and then said " there is something more important that you need to know about mama divinity powers ".
