Ainsley recalled the thing she heard yesterday after visiting the wounded Elliana and discussing the culprit with Grandpa Yoyo.
That afternoon, Ainsley was walking back to her room when she accidentally heard the maids gossiping. With her keen hearing, she could hear the maids even when they were far away.
"Hey, hey, listen. Do you know Lady Blair of the Aretha family?" One of the younger maids giggled as she asked her friends.
They were sweeping the corridor and coincidentally, Ainslsy was about to pass by that corridor, but she halted her steps.
Lady Blair of the Aretha Family?
Ainsley raised an eyebrow. She had done her 'homework' and knew that the Aretha Family was the second most influential mafia family after the Walter Family, and those two were always on a bad term.
But the Aretha Family didn't have a daughter, though? They only had three sons. Maybe this Blair is from a branch family?
Ainsley rubbed her chin and still didn't think too much until the maids continued chattering.
"Oh, Lady Blair, the one adopted by the Aretha family head a year ago?" Another maid answered.
"Yes, yes, isn't she 5 this year? What's with her?"
"Aish, you guys don't know the society rumour, huh? Lady Blair is a lucky star for the Aretha Family!" The first maid spoke in an exaggerated tone, alluring everyone's attention to her, including Ainsley.
"What? A lucky star? How? Is it because she's adorable like our family head?" One of Ainsley's fans chipped in.
"No, no, well, yes, she's adorable just like our family head, but that's not it. She's also called a miracle baby!"
"What? A miracle baby? Is she a genius? Our family head awakens her power at the age of 3." The hidden Ainsley's fanclub spoke in a slight disdain.
Who is this miracle baby that is more awesome than our family head?
The news of Ainsley awakening her power had already spread to the maids and servants, but not all people like the news. Thankful, this one maid boasted about it and took pride in Ainsley's deeds.
But the maid who started the gossip clearly didn't have the same thoughts. The maid clicked her tongue and snorted.
"Ha. Our family head just awakened her power a year earlier than Lady Blair. Lady Blair was four years old when she awakened holy power and healing ability!"
Gasp.
The maids widened their eyes in disbelief while Ainsley's body stiffened. She suddenly peeked out of the pillar near the corridor with a frown on her forehead.
Someone awakened the holy power and healing ability? That's rare! And she awakened it at the age of 4?
Ainsley couldn't believe it.
The holy power is an elemental ability featuring light. It can be used to assist people, protect people, purify monsters and also attack dark attribute monsters.
That's why the holy power is so precious to others, but it's also super rare. Not even 1% of the ability users had it.
As for the healing ability, it's even rarer. The healing ability is basically overpower since it can heal a lot of people in one go and not only one person. As such, the ability is highly sought in a territorial war.
But now...this maid said that a 4-year-old baby girl awakened those two super rare powers? Ainsley suddenly felt burning jealousy in her heart. The baby's face darkened as she bit her lips.
I also awakened a few abilities, but charm ability and keen hearing aren't that rare...only the luck ability is somehow strange.
How could Ainsley not be jealous? She's someone who aspired to be a protagonist, and every protagonist had to be unique.
Now, someone else had the traits of the protagonist!
As if it wasn't enough, the maid continued to boast about Lady Blair, the recently popular topic among the mafia family.
"You see, she's a lucky star because, in just a few days after she got adopted, the Aretha Family found a gold mine thanks to her!"
Gasp.
"Really?! Is she a gold detector or something?" The other maids were instantly amazed.
"I don't know, but she's indeed a lucky baby. It's not just a mere rumour. A lot of people testified for it." The first maid nodded with pride in her eyes.
"And then a week after she's adopted, she helped the Aretha Family business, and they thrived! The Aretha even almost beat the Walter Family's wealth."
"Whoaaaaa…"
"And, and, you know what? The Aretha Family head is a cruel and super cold man, but he's super soft toward Lady Blair!" The first maid squealed. She put her chin on her mop with her face flushing red.
Maybe this maid read a lot of doting daddy tropes manhwa until she became this excited.
"Oh! I have heard of this! Sir Aretha dotes on Lady Blair so much that he gives her a whole toy store for her fifth birthday." Another maid chipped in. She seemed to be a fan of daddy troupe manhwa too.
"Wait. I heard that when she got sick, a lot of our country's best doctors were deployed to the Aretha mansion?" The fourth maid, a slightly older one, fixed her glasses as she inquired.
"Yes, yes! You're right, senior! And that cruel Sir Aretha threatens the doctors to die if they can't heal Lady Blair." The first maid sighed. She patted her chest, worrying for Lady Blair that she never met before.
It's common sense that a healer can't heal themselves. That's why this lady needed others to heal her.
But Ainsley's focus wasn't on this matter. Her focus was...
This Lady Blair seemed to be someone from a doting cold daddy troupe in manhwa?
Is she someone real? There's a real protagonist in this world?
