Chapter 4 - The lord and his family

By the mention of her father, I was a bit confused and turn to Seelie and ask her about who's her father is.

"Oh? You mean Zyphero?"

"Hmm... He's the lord of The fallen dawn guild, basically he's our guild leader and founder. And he is also an instructor of The Henneson Royal's family for many generations now. 

At the mention of his name, I was immediately intrigued by his current status and position. But, I just nod my head.

"Zyphero..."

Seelie then flick my forehead again to snap me back to my sense before she walks off to downstairs.

"Let's just go. That bastard doesn't like anymore waiting."

I rub my head and start to walk along with her, Along the way, I saw a lot of portraits family photo-like hanging on the wall. 

"This is a second time since Zyphero had taken interest on someone by himself."

"Sigh... You can't really get a gist of his mind or what is he really on about."

"Um... Why do you think so?"

"Why do I think so?"

She let's out a little chuckle then proceed to put her hand on my head.

"It's because..."

At that moment, Seelie's mind had gone blank for a while before shakes her head.

"Nevermind... You'll eventually understand once you meet him." I was then disappointed by her answer but, I just shrug myself and continue to walk with her.

And after a moment of walking, We finally descend down from the stairs and there he was, A grey-haired man, wearing an eye patch on his left eye, while sitting on the couch with his hand back.

Behind him, Is an Orc standing and leaning against his couch. Both of their presence is enough to make me trembling inside.

but, not for long, The man lifted up his face and looked at me with a gaze that could pierce through my very own soul.

"Hmm... So, You're the one that had been saved by Reinea, Yes?"

"Y-Yes, sir!"

I immediately bow myself down and dared not to look up. 

"Jeez... What the hell are these people???"

I thought to myself as my body is shaking out of fear.

Upon seeing me bowing down, The man slowly smiles. But, Just as he's about to get up from his seat. He immediately got hit with a glasses case right on his head.

"OWWWWWWWWW"

"Seelie! What the hell was that for?"

"Oops, My hand slipped."

The Orc after noticing Zyphero got attacked by Seelie, He quickly move away to the side, Knowing he will get the same treatment from her if he stay with him for too long.

At the sight of Zyphero rubbing his head, Seelie couldn't help but, letting out a smug grinned before she pulls out a few more of glasses cases and begin to throw at him on his abdomen then his chest.

Zyphero instantly falls down to the ground, Hand wrapping himself while whining about the pain.

"Owww... Could you just... not embarrassed me in front of somebody..."

Zyphero then glances at the orc with a plea in his eyes before he takes out his hand and ask for him help. But, The orc stays silent. 

"..."

The Orc after seeing Zyphero on the ground, asking for his help. He turns his head to Seelie and seeing her fierceful eyes before he shakes his head slowly, and move aside further from Zyphero.

"I'm sorry, Master."

Seelie after seeig The orc backing away from Zyphero. She smiles at him.

"Hmm... Good choice, Gravan. Otherwise, I would've sent flying outside of the house like the other day."

Gravan, The orc after hearing that, He back away even more, Leaving Zyphero laying on the ground.

Zyphero after hearing such threatening from Seelie. He just closes his eyes and accept his fate. And, just as he's about to receive some more beating from Seelie, His phone then rang and he picked it up instantly.

"Hello, This is Sir, Zyphero on the phone."

"Oh? Oh okay."

"Thank you very much, goodbye!"

After the phone call, He then gets up from the floor and brushes himself off, He then proceed to stretches himself before he opens up a rift with his hand.

"I'll be back soon, I need to pick up the girls. Oh and, Maria!"

The Arachne lady then appears webbing down in front of him with an enthusiastic smile on her face.

"Yes, Master?"

"Prepare us a set of coffee with a side snack while I'm gone, okay?"

"Hehe, On it!"

"Oh and one thing before I go."

He turned his gaze towards me and asking me.

"What's your name?"

"Y-yes, It's Oudom."

"Oudom huh... Hmm..."

Without saying much more, He stepped inside the rift and disappear from then on. I then look at Seelie who seems to be used to his attitude before she let's out a heavy sigh and walking away.

"Sigh... I'll just head back to the lab."

And just like that, I am now leave with Maria and Gravan in the house. 

Things were silent at first until Gravan breaks it by calling me and approaching me.

"So Oudom huh? Nice name you got there, kid."

"Oh thanks."

"But that also makes me wonder, Are you perhaps from Nokor?"

"Not that I'm onto something but, Judging by your appearance and your name, You must be at least one of them."

When he ask me those questions, I was immediately in a state of surprise, The mentioning of the word Nokor, Left me with no words but, when I try to speak. My mind becomes foggy, unable to think of anything.

Gravan after seeing me trying to answer his question, He just sighs and pats on my head then leans down and look at me. 

"Alright, look here kid. It's fine to not tell me."

"Besides, I was just a lil' curious. But, at the same time, I'm feelin' excited that we finally have our last member to the family."

"So just calm yourself down, lil' bro. And, how about you take a quick tour around the house, yeah?"

He then looks at Maria and nodding his head before he gets up then walks up tp Maria to tell her to show him around the house.

Maria then agrees and walks up to me as Gravan is seen walking to the front door before leaving the house by leaping high up into the air.

Maria after seeing the department of Gravan, She walks up to me and holds out my hand and ask me.

"I can show you everything around the house."

"Now where do you want to go first my dear?"

The scene then shifted to Zyphero, Who is seen sitting inside of a school's office before he was approach by the school principle and taking a seat in front of him.

"Ah... Greeting Sir, Zyphero. I didn't expect you to come here so quickly."

"Greeting Mr. Delmurnt." He then bows his head down but was stopped by the principle.

"No No, It's fine. You don't have to show your formality."

"Besides, I called you here is to report about 2 little daughter new achievement on their project."

"Wait, Really?"

The principle nods his head.

"That's... hold on..."

"That mean the school is having a disaster again, right?"

The principle nods his head again before he speaks to him 

"Well, Yes. Despite that they've yet again cause a huge amount of destruction in the simulation room. But!"

"They also created a new type of magic. I can't believe that they could achieve a scholar level in such a young ag-"

The sound of door slamming then caught both The principle and Zyphero off gaurd but, Before either of them could react, 2 small little elves run up to Zyphero.

"papa!"

And immediately jump on him and hug him.

The little elves have long white-haired that look identical to each other named Mineah Silver and Sileah Silver.

"Papa Papa! You're not gonna believe it!"

"We scored a new record in the entire school history today!"

"Yeah! We went boom! and pow!"

"And we even manage to create our own type magic too!"

Zyphero then let's out a heavy sigh before smiling at them and patting their head. 

"Yeah... I know my sweet little one can be this awesome."

He then looks at the principle and nodding his head to continue their conversation. 

The principle nods back and shows him a hologram clip of the twin elf sisters performance in the simulation room and shows him where the sisters perform a tag team duo magic.

After watching for a while, Zyphero looks at Mineah and Sileah then smiles at them.

"I'd never thought seeing both of you perform such high level magic. Let alone breaking the advanced barrier of the room."

He then looks at the principle before bowing his head down. But, was stop again.

"Ah no no, You don't need to apologize or anything."

"Sigh... But, I want to congratulate you for raising them with such care and much educate."

"And because of them, Our school's reputation has been skyrocketed and moving our position from nearly dropped out of the10th spot to 2nd spot."

"If anything, I should be thankful to you for choosing our school."
