The group reached back to their respective courtyard only to find the Esbertrazian elders waiting for them in the garden area. Elder Lathodore and Miandrake were drinking the pepper tea which was good for digestion while others arrived.
The calm expression on the faces of Emmy and Alex told the elders that this couple was expecting this visit.
" We want to talk with you all, please spare your time."
The tone which Elder Miandrake used, was clearly stating the authority of a senior elder but still, the youngsters were amazed to see the great elder near to them.
" Before everything, I want to ask this girl a question, I know that we have a blood connection and you are truly related to the Esbertrazian clan but then why to use the identity of goddaughter?"
Faced with such a strict elder, even Alex stood with his head low whereas Emmy did not budge a little. She fiercely looked straight into the elder's eyes.
