Year 141
4 days after the confrontation
In the outskirt of the town on one of the roads. Meru was waiting for someone. She's wearing a dark robe in the night.
"Julian ask me to go outside of the town skirt in a robe. Since he trusts me for escorting the mistress of Juni, my sword is already ready if anyone trying to attack me or Juni's mistress"
Meru waited for a couple of hours when May contact her in her conscious
"Goddess Meru, are you awake"
"Yes. I'm awake May, what do you want"
"I have contact with your brother, but he doesn't want to go back"
"Does he have a reason?"
"he didn't tell me anything. But the way he words it looks like something is trouble there"
"Have you heard other people in their location?"
"Sadly no, I can only see"
"Well-"
Suddenly Meru Detected movement near her location
"Sorry May, I need you to disrupt for a moment."
Meru unsheathed her sword when. A woman and a small child walk between the trees. with her hands up "I meant no harm", she said She tried to cover her hood and the child behind her.
Meru ask her what her business
She didn't replay. Then Meru "Remove the robe or both of you will get killed"
"I'm sorry, I can't-"
"I see you an elf eh?"
"How? I"
"It's obvious with your hiding your robe. Also are you the one I going to be escorting back to the mansion"
"Mansion?"
"Wait do you know Juni?"
"Ju-Juni... Yes"
"Well. Just follow me, I meant no harm"
Suddenly May interrupted While Meru was walking behind the town's Outskirt
"Well, that escalated quickly"
"May not now, I'm trying to protect Juni's Mistress"
"Protect? That way I saw it, looks like your going to kill them"
"I only act like that, As if I was a professional guard"
"Hmm Hmm"
"Plus they never knew that Juni has a sister now, so their gonna have their butts laughing If I introduce to them"
"I mean do you need to do that?"
"Well yeah. First interaction counts"
Meru and the two people walk behind the mansion where Julian was waiting outside
"Ma'am what's your name actually"
"My name is Kokoda"
"Kokoda then last name?"
"None, Only the rich have them"
"I see"
When Preparation was done.
"Ma'am watch your step"
Meru jumps to the top of the fence and the two maids that are helping the Child over the fence
"Now you ma'am"
After that happen, Julian greeted Her
"Welcome, to our mansion miss, what's your name?"
The Woman is scared and the child is hugging her mother
"Ma'am his the grandfather of your child"
"bu-but I was given a letter that I was having a private meeting with Juni, Not with her father?"
"Don't worry, He is a gentleman despite his size"
Suddenly the door behind Julian opens and Juni is standing. In that surprise, the child said "Daddy!" and was about to run when his mother stops him
"Da-Dad. You did this aren't you?"
"I'm sorry about it, but now... Juni"
His father looks at him "Now they're here. What are you gonna do now?"
"I can't... I'm not strong enough"
"You already gave them kindness despite being a distance relationship, As your father. I want you to be the one who decided"
"Dad... Okay, I decided"
"Koko, Do you want to finally finish our secret in this house alone"
"Come on," I said to her
She answers "yes"
Julian Rejoice, and laugh "Hahaha... That was interesting, Also Meru have you encounter someone gone here?"
"No father, I hadn't"
"Great! Despite the rumored being true, we will wait till Juni's birthday to announce it"
"I think, Juni is the one going to decide that"
Julian laughs again, while Juni Kokoda and his child are happily bonding with each other. Julian look at them and said "This gives me nostalgic... Maria, If your okay up there your Son has now become a man once again"
Julian clap and said "Juni carried your family and go inside, where going for a fest tonight"
The whole family went inside but Meru look outside for a moment and left.
"Someone is watching us..." She said to herself.
While their eating. Meru remove her Robe and cloak one of the maids saw Meru and said, "Eh Meru?"
"what about it?"
"You have a scar on your face"
In her mind "Wait I never gone a scar on my face before... Unless"
"Oh don't worry, It probably because of the bushes"
After changing her cloth she went outside and introduce herself to Kokoda
"Hello, My brother's Wife. My name is Meru and I'm his adopted Sister nice to meet you"
She replied "Aw your cute, is this our first time meeting? your voice sounds familiar"
Julian immediately reply to her comment "Oh that's the same girl who escorted you Kokoda"
In a sense of shock, "wait really? your that girl? It's nice to meet someone who can hold a weapon before"
In Meru's mind "Well Shit"
"Dad? What do you mean by this?"
"Well... I don't want anyone knowing that your mistress going here so I told Meru about it and she agrees to it"
"Dad she's 10, what is she gonna do if they got trapped or something"
Meru reply to Juni
"Don't worry brother, the map that I use become helpful"
"See? She's pretty cool eh?"
"Dad your drunk again"
"I'm not that drunk plus, the bed is ready-"
"Sir Julian your drunk, you need to go to your room... I'm so sorry about it, he likes this since his a teen"
"Ms. Ashley, what is your relationship with my father?"
"I'm his friend since he was birth, I'm only 5 when he got birth, His a little cluster and I act like him as a sister and brother relationship, but when he rose to power and suddenly gain birth to first successful city town, he asks me to be his personal maid and I agree with it"
"Do you have personal feelings about my father?" Juni said to her
"well that's something I can't talk about" They left and Juni and her Mistress also left. His son was still eating. Meru talks to him "Hello want's your name"
He replied "M... My name is Ekon, and..."
"Don't pressure by it, just tell the rest"
"I'm... Ekon and my mother's name is Kokoda"
"Where do you live?"
"We live in a small house deep of a forest, I was told not to go outside"
"Well today"
The child looks at Meru
"You are going to live here"
"Wait really?" He said with a smile
"And I'm your Auntie now"
"Auntie?"
"Yes, I'm your auntie your father's sister"
"Auntie... Auntie?... Oh, Auntie Meru! Auntie Meru!"
Meru smiles and said "Yes, yes. and you are Ekon, nice to meet you Ekon welcome to the family" Meru touches his hand and suddenly in Meru's mind "Wait, a Dark affinity? his just like me" Meru let go of his hand and said "Well that was interesting" A maid suddenly appears and asks The child to get to the bed. And I head back to my room.
"Dark Affinity... wait did I? May Are you there? May?" no response from May "Shit she's probably busy with other gods. Did I gave him the affinity?"
When a person hadn't gone to a church nor an area without the god's blessing. They don't know what type of Affinity is that person is. But If a god touches someone whose Affinity is unknown It will take over and replace the previous affinity that will be going be activated.
"Shit, I think his Affinity was replaced with my dark affinity... I need to take this responsibility-"
Someone was knocking on the door. Meru opens, and it was Juni.
"Oh hi, Brother, what do you want?"
"I... I want to apologize- about spying on you, Now I trusted you"
"Well, I already know Samantha is spying on me. Her presence is noticeable"
"Wait you already knew?"
"Well, She's overprotective and If I talk to her she doesn't respond normally it makes me bored, But even doe you don't trust me in the first month. I don't think you're a terrible brother. I respect you for that"
"Sis Meru..." Juni Remove his sweat and said "Okay, tomorrow I will publicly announce my newlywed wife. And I want you to be the announcer"
"I guess I can't disagree with this one, Sure. Tomorrow"
"Good night sis."
"Good night brother"
