Chapter 6 Precious Sis And Mom

Ace walked slowly to the dining room, going over his plans for the future in his mind.

He had many plans for this breakfast and the first of which was, To bring his mom and sister completely on the same track as him.

While also speaking about that assassination attempt. They had more in-depth knowledge of the royal palace and could be of much help, he was quite the shut-in as Harry after all.

And he also wanted to just see them after this long day, He missed them, even though he just saw them yesterday.

So much shit happened today, he just wanted to see them.

He still had too many questions in his head, how did he end up getting the Eternal Blood thing, how did he end up as Harry, and how was he here? What was the connection of everything with his death in that ocean?

He might not be ready to speak everything... but he at least wanted to have them on his side.

....

The dining room of choice for the seventh concubine, her son, and her daughter was just a small room with a wider-than-normal table and good lighting. It was quite a nice place.

The butlers served food, and the maids used some animals to make sure nothing was poisoned, just as a second precaution after Anna's test, Everything was done procedure by procedure, Lilly was too important for the kingdom.

By the time the son-sis-mom trio was all seated, everything was ready and the maids and Butlers were nowhere to be seen. It was the food time for the family of three.

Harry seated himself and looked at his mother and sister, they were talking about something and just awake too.

Mom was shorter than him and Lilly, she was just about 165 cm tall, whereas, he and Lilly were about 170, of course, he was a bit taller than his sister.

And similar yet slightly different black eyes from Harry's and Lilly's stood beautifully on her caramel face, her lips were rosy without any lipsticks too.

Even though she was already 36 years old, her Gift made her still look like her mid-twenties, And her overall complexion itself just felt gentle and homely. she, just like the other two, was just wearing her pajamas.

As for Lilly, his twin sister, she, unlike her mother and brother, had silver hair instead of black, she too looked gorgeous, her looks while wearing pajamas were a hundred times better than something a miss world from Earth wearing the best dress could hope to be.

And the same deep dark eyes as her brother adorned her beautiful face with a bit of seriousness.

He smiled and just looked at them without joining in the conversation like usual, taking the fork and knife to begin his food.

Confused, Lilly and Emma turned towards him, "...Harry?" Lilly called, worried.

"Don't worry," he shook his hands, "I am just enjoying looking at you two, continue, continue."

Emma raised an eyebrow and said, "Something good seems to have happened to you."

Eating the food with relish, he said, "Yeah, in a way."

"What happened Brother?" Lilly asked, squinting her eyes, "It's rare to see you so happy, did something happen with you and your little maid?"

"Eh," Harry flinched, "No, not that... I am speaking about something else."

Lilly's face changed, "So something really happened?"

"No," Harry firmly shook his head, luckily his little maid was asleep, "I am talking about something serious here Lilly, focus, this might as well affect our whole life."

Lilly scrutinized him and bit into a piece of chicken, "Yeah, it tastes abnormally good today," she muttered, extremely unhappy.

What kind of advance did that mere maid play on her innocent brother?

Harry saw her and knew he had messed up slightly, so he changed the mood, saying melancholically, "Actually, it's more trouble than good news," he paused.

Frowning from the side, Emma asked, "What happened dear?"

Harry's black eyes looked around, they were alone and everything was silent, he shook his head, "...I really have something serious I want to talk to you two, But not here...As you know, Even the walls have ears."

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Both of them turned serious at the mention and silently ate the food, they were quite curious as to what was going on, but not nervous since Harry was safe and sound infront of them.

The sound of fork and ceramic rang for a while before the three got up and left the table, finishing the whole set of meals, unlike other days.

...

Mother, Emma's room was clean and neat, with white walls and just a large bed capable of comfortably seating at least five people and a wardrobe as decor; she was a minimalist by nature, therefore she didn't have anything much in her room.

The only sound inside was the sounds from outside the room, of the guards walking around in heavy armor or some carriage outside the window that brought with them the sound of horse hooves.

And of course, the sound of some rain birds.

Anyway, This was a completely safe place to speak, not even the King can pry inside, even using his abilities, it was impossible, the rooms in the castle were quite magical by themselves.

How it was made? No one knows.

Maybe the First king of lust might be the only one who knows.

Sitting on her bed, the two looked at each other and then at Harry — he was infront of the windows, and looking outside through the closed glass, looking at a forest some distance away, as far as he could see.

Straight to the point, he said, his voice serious, gently rapping his fingers on the glass: "Mom, sis, yesterday someone attempted to assassinate me..."

Lilly and Emma's faces paled in fear, their hearts almost constricted at the mere thought.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Lilly almost screamed in fear.

Harry scratched the glass in frustration, "That's what I don't understand either. I don't know how, but I was just poisoned."

Just poisoned? Just? she was ready to kill the maid who was supposed to protect him, the one who poisoned him and...The..Their nerve!

As for Emma, she was silent, her black eyes deeply gazing at the floor, flickering with a jade-like killing intent so deeply hidden, the ones who were aimed would have had the creeps for the rest of their life.

Even Harry had goosebumps at the deep stare she was looking at the floor with.

"You guys are too heated," he said, his voice languid.

It was not that serious, just some clowns playing around. When had important people not had assassins behind their backs? At least he had some as Ace!

Moving infront of his sister, he brought her into his embrace and fell on the bed, rotating mid-air to bring her above his chest.

She instinctively tried to resist due to her training, but she wasn't as strong as him physically, so she couldn't escape... and Ace who had her in his arms, didn't plan to let her leave.

She was too precious to keep her out of his embrace.

Hugging her waist, putting some pressure, "Calm down Lilly," he said.

She calmed down and looked at his face, then, somewhat shy, yet still angry at him for downplaying the assassination attempt, she pouted and looked sideways, free hugs are accepted though.

No way she will leave it to prove a point.

"Do you have any guesses on these daring assassins?" Emma asked with a calm tone.

Not answering that and hugging his sister's waist tighter, bringing her face closer, Harry replied, his voice joyous, "Before we speak of that... I didn't bring you here just to speak about the gloomy things, you know?"

He turned towards his mom and said with a smile so bright, it could melt mount tai, "I have some great good news too."

Having an emotional turbulence inside her after finally seeing him smile so happily after so long, Emma almost burst into tears as she asked, "Say it already, you little rascal!"

Harry smiled, he had already decided to tell them most of his secrets. after all, Secrets and lies...they erode the very essence of a family, causing irreparable damage. He didn't want to be a part of such an age-old mistake.

But not so easily of course,

"Haha, No way!" Harry smirked, looking sideways at his mother, "I won't tell it to you for free, you know?"

Lilly brought her face up from his hug and asked, looking at her big brother's black eyes, "What do you want in return for telling me?"

"Oh, will you give me anything?" Harry asked, looking back into her eyes, similarly curious.

She just hugged him back and buried her head in his shoulders, her voice barely a murmur in his ears, she whispered, "Everything I have is yours too...you dumb brother."

Even Emma's eyes widened for a second as her enhanced senses caught her words, she was quite amazed...

Harry kissed Lilly's cheek on his side and asked, indignant, "How can I ask for something after you said that... So unfair! My little sister is too unfair!"

Lilly just shyly kept her head hidden; her cheeks red, her face fuming hot.

Furious, he kissed her cheek once again,

Her ears blushed.

then he kissed it again, and,

He kissed her cheek again,

Lilly just enjoyed her brother's attention, he rarely cared to do such intimate deeds, she would be a fool if she rejected it.

She was curious, but her heart was beating too loudly to let her speak.

Harry slowly moved towards her ears, his lips almost touched it, his breath...Lilly could feel it.

Her heart skipped a beat.

A bit impatient, yet not hating what she was seeing, Emma intercepted, too curious, "So tell us the secret already, I really want to know what made you so happy."

The sister and brother just turned and looked at her in a daze, indignant, they were having their moment...

Lilly pouted with a red face... stupid mom!
