Very Protective

Various cuisine was served up. The staff also ate with them and played games together. Xyleria who was watching the father and son duo playing with the staff asked her grandfather "What was my father like?"

Grandfather Einhart looked at his granddaughter who had a sudden interest in her father. "Your father, was a troublemaker when he was young. After he met your mother, he changed to become hardworking and stopped making trouble for me to clean up. Your mom was popular among the boys after a makeover done by your father. Your father regretted having the makeover done but your mom decided to stay with your father. The number of bees around your mom was a lot. Your father had to keep the bees away for a long time. After your mom gave birth to you, he was protective of you, he then also chased away all the bees who tried to talk to you. What a busy father.

They even went overseas to see a priest, to decide your name, it was unique, Xylena. The priest was also the one that gave you those ear cuffs. Weird right? Who in the world receives a pair of ear cuffs from a priest? Even your parents were dumbfounded.

Your mom believes the priest while your father wanted to open the priest's head to see whether he is sane. The priest would have died if not for your mom." Said Grandfather Einhart as he remembers his son's antics. Xyleria chuckled and said "Very protective."

"If he ever knows that you are in the army, he might climb out of his grave, coming after me." Said Grandfather Einhart as he shakes his head. Xyleria passed him a glass of water and looked at her staff dancing around as a penalty.

Xyleria was thinking over what her grandfather said and asked "You said that the priest gave me a pair of ear cuffs, why do I only have one?". Grandfather looked at William then look back at his granddaughter "I don't know. Only you have the answer, after all, you are the one that gave it away to promise someone." Said Grandfather Einhart as he scoffed while looking at William. Grandfather Einhart told her to keep wearing the ear cuff, as it was like a protective charm.

After a while, the party ended when Sora and Liam fell asleep by their father. Xyleria brought her Grandfather to his room, while Ryuu and William washed up and slept with their sons.

The house that was bustling was now quiet again, Xyleria made some tea for herself and went to the third floor to enjoy the night sky.

A promise she made. To whom? What was the content of the promise? Maybe her missing memories consist of it, but it would be before she made KI. Which means she has no way of retrieving such memories just by asking KI.

Touching her ear cuff, she smiled thinking that if her parents were still alive, celebrating together, it would quite a sight to see. Maybe a different side of herself. Her life might be different compared to how it was now. Her tea turned cold, she cleaned up and went to the locked room, she was just 30% away from analyzing the rock. Soon, everything will end once she finishes finding out a way to sent Ryuu and Sora back to their world.

But a sudden thought came to her mind, perhaps sending them back was not going to be easy. There must be some set conditions, that caused a disruption in space and time. Looks like I need to get ready for whatever is coming my way. Xyleria eyes glowed red, as she made some calls.
