Chapter 188 A Family Dinner
This scene was cute and funny at the same time and the stars in their eyes were visible to even us.
Anna asked me she wanted to go to her new big sister, so I just helplessly handed her over and they both started talking like two old friends meeting after a long time.
And leaving them like that wasn\'t a good idea, so we all moved to the upper floor and to the dining hall that Rein decorated in that short time.
Everyone was surprised by the look and even more that Rein was the one who did that.
They knew her better than me and from the looks in their eyes; it was clear that this was out of her character.
Grandpa and grandmother of mine, the two oldest in the room, had cheery grins on their faces while looking at me, and Rein also felt embarrassed for some reason.
And on this similar reaction of us, they just laughed happily.
Mom had a surprised look on her face and when she looked at Rein, she can\'t help but shake her head.
Dad, on the other hand, was talking with Rein\'s grandma, acting like a young boy being scolded by his teacher.
Everything was peaceful for the time and now, while we sat at the long dining table with the whole family and food served, the talks were going to start soon.
And as I guessed, the first ones to speak were my restless big sister and little brother.
"So Eon. You remember the promise, right?" Carla asked as she ate a sizeable piece of fine steak.
From the way she had finished three plates already, I could guess just how great of an appetite she had.
Well, it was normal for pure knights like Rein and my grandfathers.
They usually had great hunger like this.
Carla had red hair like her mom and eyes like her uncle and grandfather.
She was just a year older than me and still; she had the same height as Rein and me while her body had been trained perfectly, which was reflected in her every action.
And...

============
Carla was strong and her unique skill that can store any kind of blade was just made for her.
I could feel she had done her fair share of endless training and battles with strong opponents, but this would still not be enough to defeat me.
But she definitely deserved to be called a prodigy from what I can see in her.
That every muscle perfectly trained to wield different blades, her natural instincts, her sharp gaze that said many things, all were perfect for a knight.
"Yes, brother Eon. We should do it as soon as possible. Let\'s dual after dinner, that would be best~!" Alf said with a bright smile on his face as well.
"Did I ever do something to you two? Why are you dead set on fighting me as soon as possible?
At least read the room, you fool~.
I just came back and you two are this much fired up for a fight?
At least tell me why?" I asked genuinely, with a bright smile on my face and my two aunties nodded with a sigh.
"Even we want to know that, Eon." My first aunt said while looking at Carla with a helpless gaze.
"Yes, Alf. We know you admire Eon and all but, what is the \'reason\' for this much competition?
It\'s not like Eon is someone like your grandfather or uncle.
He\'s just a kid like you two~." My second asked her little son with a loving gaze and gave me a beautiful smile.
She was a cheerful one, like Anna and Zoe. Maybe these three were the most similar ladies in this family.
All three of them had special powers and their smiles were more radiant than ever.
This was good and there was another cheerful one like them who was being shy right now and just hid in her house.
Well, she will be ready to greet everyone soon. And I knew not only my aunts but also every other person here will like her.
But Alf and Carla\'s answer was important right now.
"Well..." Carla started and first looked at Alf and they both just shook their heads.
"There actually isn\'t a reason why we want to spar with big brother in the first place.
We know he is strong for us right now but, we just want to see how big the gap is so that we can work even harder and defeat him in the future."
Carla nodded at what he said and his words... surprised everyone here.
Even Rein was surprised by this one and there was a commendable gaze on her face as she fed some chocolate cake to Anna sitting in Zoe\'s lap beside her.
Anna surprisingly knew Rein as Grandpa\'s friend, but this was her first time seeing her in person, too.
And Anna loved this third big sister she met today, showing Anna had less contact with the outside world for now.
She will definitely go out when she was old enough, maybe from next year but, she has been a sheltered child for now.
Rein was the strangest \'young\' person here, but after hearing Alf, she couldn\'t help it.
"You know what Alf? I lost to your big brother in a spar this morning." She chuckled while cutting another piece of cake for Anna.
Zoe was comfortable eating with her other hand and she just loved the two new sisters she had met today, so she was just happy~.
But the words that came out of Rein\'s mouth made everyone, and I mean every single person in this room including the grandparents stop eating.
And that wasn\'t all.
The knife in Carla\'s hand fell, and the same for Alf\'s spoon as they looked at her with fear-filled eyes.
Did these two know just how strong Rein was?
Hell... she definitely did this one to discourage them.
Even the grandparents and our parents were looking at her, and then me when she just continued feeding Anna with a smile.
Her words... somewhat affected me, too.
Well, nothing I couldn\'t answer.
"It wasn\'t a spar or anything. We didn\'t even have weapons on us. And it just ended quickly when she calmed down."
"S-she calmed down?! How?!" As if instinctive, Rein\'s grandpa shouted with the most shocked look on his face I had seen until now.
He did look at her for an answer but as if nothing existed and this whole thing was just fun for her, only I was left to answer these weird questions.
And his shocked expression... it would feel quite well- ahem.
"Nothing actually. I just helped her when we accidentally met in the forest she was hunting.
Then there was some small misunderstanding, but she just calmed down when I said her name was beautiful."
"What?!" This time, it was my mom, and this was also the most shocked expression I had seen on her face.
Mom was always a calm one, a cold one if I believed the rumors.
But, she was rarely shocked like this, and showing a reaction so openly like this also meant this genuinely surprised her.
My dad and her grandma had forgotten about eating and now, their mouths were wide open at this thought that Carla or Alf genuinely didn\'t understand.
Rein, Zoe, and I just pretended we knew nothing, and that we were just some innocent children but, aside from Zoe, neither of us could be convening to them.
The way mom reacted was surprising but, there was a blush and smile on her face while thinking about \'stuff\' that I had no idea about.
My uncle and aunty were the same, while Rein\'s mom and dad were having a mental battle over how to do \'preparations\' with themselves after hearing those things.
I had said too much in those small words and now... the dining table and this entire room were dead silent.
\'Damn Rein. What the hell do I say now...?\'
