"You are Hexa-elental?!!"
-Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
My heart suddenly started beating wildly as I looked at Eon with horrified eyes.
A cold sweat ran down my back, fear surged throughout my soul, and my loud voice surprised everyone present.
'No. no way. If it's true... then. No!'
It can't be possible.
Being a Hexa-elental mage was practically a curse!
Those who had an affinity with all of the basic elents are practically destined to die.
Which an...
No. He can not die... I don't know why but, he can't!
Even though I knew this reaction was too much, those words seriously horrified .
I was standing without knowing, my eyes fixed on Eon and nothing else.
I didn't know what was suddenly happening to , but I knew one thing... I didn't want this person to go away.
-Smack.
"Calm down, girl. What do you think you are shouting at this dinner table for?" grandma smacked my head beside and I looked around.
Everyone was looking at , Eon being most shocked by this sudden reaction.
And grandma, soone better at magic than should also know what that ans.
But... she was calm after those words but surprised at this genuine reaction of mine.
"But grandma!" I still can't understand just how these people are so calm in this situation and even Eon, he must know this too but, why was he so calm?
-Smack!
"Calm. Down. Sit down, you clueless one. We can see just how much you are worried about your dear 'friend' but calm down and try thinking about this for a bit.
Do you even think soone like that could make it to (tier-3) or even survive for this long?
Clearly, you haven't forgotten about [Irregulars].
Haaa... what will I do with this granddaughter who's older than but dumber than even the little children."
Grandma shook her head, and I sat down with a blank expression.
'Oh... yes. There were those broken ones who defied the common rules of this world.
Having abilities that varied from the norm.
Breaking the most common senses and perspectives people had about things… like .
And thinking about it... she's right, right?
From what I have read, those who have this kind of six-elent affinity all died at a very young age or, even if they succeeded in establishing stability, they would be short-lived.
But he was more than perfectly fine.
And more than that, his magic was more refined than my own.
And soone who had conflicting, opposing, and chaotic attribute affinity can't do sothing like that.
... that would an he... has a perfectly balanced affinity with all six elents and that stability increase the overall affinity with these elents.'
"Amazing..." I can't help but exclaim after thinking things through.
That ant his natural lifespan was longer than normal humans just by having this kind of affinity.
But this kind of affinities, plus his strength, plus Celes and her exceptional abilities.
"Just how amazing are you?" I asked with a blank expression while looking at his awkward smile.
And on this reaction, I heard multiple sighs and chuckles.
"Hehehe, big sister is funny~." Zoe chuckled and patted my back from one side and grandma also patted my back on the other side.
'I just did sothing embarrassing without thinking... didn't I?'
I felt even more embarrassed because this wasn't like at all.
I was soone who thinks things a lot, but this ti, when it was sothing about him, I couldn't help that reaction.
It just ca out of without any thought and I just...
Now I was feeling that hotness again, my face all red again.
I knew that bastard Eon would think this was cute or sothing, but... this was his fault!
He didn't tell this one when we were having fun all this day and now, before both of our families, I had to suffer because of his mistake!
That fool!
I didn't know what to say now and this embarrassing feeling... maybe today was the first day I was feeling it this extrely.
But then... I heard Anna's voice.
One of the most beautiful voices in the world, filled with purity and charm.
"Hehehe... big sister. It's ok. Don't think too much about it." She said with her angelic voice from Zoe's lap and ca close to .
And then... she kissed .
'Oh god...' I exclaid in thoughts as I felt this serene feeling that instantly cald my thoughts, and heart and even made clear than ever.
So this was the so-called special kiss of the one who rules the house of Heliox?
This is definitely more than just amazing.
This one is just special.
"Thank you, Anna." I thanked her and kissed her little, soft cheeks.
She was adorable, more than even her brother.
And she was a smart one.
Now that I was cald down, I looked at Eon with sowhat angry eyes that said this was his fault.
And that bastard... apologized. And even said he will make it up to later.
'You better...' I replied with the sa eye contact and he just understood it like this was so telepathy and nodded.
Looking at everyone after a sigh, he looked at everyone with Celes in his hand.
"Yes, Celes also has an elental affinity with all six basic elents. She is a special one and as you saw just now, she has the ability to disguise that even soone like grandpa and grandma wouldn't notice.
And though there are many limitations to this ability, we can have these disguises for a long ti." He smiled masterfully, making everyone believe this was it to her ability.
'Really... amazing.'
I could feel not a single one questioned the things he left out, and so didn't even understand he said half truth just now.
Not even his genius uncles and aunts or even my mom or dad caught up to his half-truth.
'Many limitations? Grandpa and grandma? My foot dude.
Even masters who trained in deception would want to bow to that flawless acting.
They could do far more than just do disguise for a 'long ti'.
From what I understood, that broken ability had practically no ti limit, or at least it was more than a day.
And from how Celes herself as well her countless clones could use this disguise all at once and however they wanted... these two were already close to those old ones with a [Chrystal Butterfly] in using the skill.
And from how he didn't tell them about those abilities, I could understand just how much he trusted .
And though surprising, I believed in him too.
His acting wasn't the one who gave away he left sothing out, it was flawless in itself.
It was my subtle reaction and change that gave away that there was more to this ability than just this... and the strong ones like our grandparents and his mom and dad noticed it, too.
But they just let that one go. Understanding whatever he hid would be pointless to tell.
And I was surprised just how much all these people trusted him.
Even my family... I didn't know just how he made them trust him this much.
'This bastard...' I couldn't help but smile while thinking about him as I finished my dinner and everyone continued their talk.
This was their talk, and I was happy just to feed this little angel by my side.
Even Zoe was a fun one to play with.
I never had one, but... if I could have sisters, I wanted sisters like them.
And now... these two just so naturally called sister that my long-cherished wish was fulfilled just by eting him.
Maybe fate did exist, and all this happening was ant to be.
But then again... no one knew the future.
Maybe this was ant to happen but, this was too early for both of us.
I knew he understood this too, and that was the reason we wanted to have a long talk.
Even though we knew this feeling, knowing about each other more, understanding them, and just having them was far more important.
I had lived enough to understand things and though I didn't know how his life has been until now... I knew it was far more than what I have been through.
His strength wasn't just from endless, difficult, and tireless training... I knew many in this room knew this, but this person, this almost twelve-year boy, had been through a lot.
He had fought for his life and faced countless monts where he might have died, but he had survived all of them, and now... after having an unthinkable life; he was sitting before us.
And his warm smile was so genuine that even I would overlook the hidden deep sorrow and agony.
I didn't know much about him, and neither did he know anything about .
So we will just take our sweet ti.
No one was in any kind of hurry, and we didn't care about these people who were starting many things in their minds.
'Good luck with whatever you all are thinking.'
I liked Eon even more to actually think the sa and understand the things going on here.
I sighed internally and all the conversations on this dinner table continued until Eon's dad wondered about sothing that actually excited and many others.
"So... why did we all set so many barriers around this table?"
