Chapter 190 Her Shock...
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-elemental mage was practically a curse!
Those who had an affinity with all of the basic elements are practically destined to die.
Which mean...
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 me.
I was standing without knowing, my eyes fixed on Eon and nothing else.
I didn\'t know what was suddenly happening to me, 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 me and I looked around.
Everyone was looking at me, Eon being most shocked by this sudden reaction.
And grandma, someone better at magic than me should also know what that means.
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 someone 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 me 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 me.
And thinking about it... she\'s right, right?
From what I have read, those who have this kind of six-element 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 someone who had conflicting, opposing, and chaotic attribute affinity can\'t do something like that.
... that would mean he... has a perfectly balanced affinity with all six elements and that stability increase the overall affinity with these elements.\'
"Amazing..." I can\'t help but exclaim after thinking things through.
That meant 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 something embarrassing without thinking... didn\'t I?\'
I felt even more embarrassed because this wasn\'t like me at all.
I was someone who thinks things a lot, but this time, when it was something about him, I couldn\'t help that reaction.
It just came out of me 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 something, but... this was his fault!
He didn\'t tell me 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 extremely.
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 came close to me.
And then... she kissed me.
\'Oh god...\' I exclaimed in thoughts as I felt this serene feeling that instantly calmed my thoughts, and heart and even made me 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 calmed down, I looked at Eon with somewhat angry eyes that said this was his fault.
And that bastard... apologized. And even said he will make it up to me later.
\'You better...\' I replied with the same eye contact and he just understood it like this was some telepathy and nodded.
Looking at everyone after a sigh, he looked at everyone with Celes in his hand.
"Yes, Celes also has an elemental affinity with all six basic elements. She is a special one and as you saw just now, she has the ability to disguise that even someone like grandpa and grandma wouldn\'t notice.
And though there are many limitations to this ability, we can have these disguises for a long time." 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 some 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 time\'.
From what I understood, that broken ability had practically no time 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 me.
And though surprising, I believed in him too.
His acting wasn\'t the one who gave away he left something 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 me sister that my long-cherished wish was fulfilled just by meeting him.
Maybe fate did exist, and all this happening was meant to be.
But then again... no one knew the future.
Maybe this was meant 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 moments 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 me.
So we will just take our sweet time.
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 same 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 something that actually excited me and many others.
"So... why did we all set so many barriers around this table?"
