Chapter 31 - Emily Part Two

Emily came out of her room wearing a faded white long shirt that reached just before her little feet. "Young Miss you called?"

Seeing the old clothes Emily had on caused me to frown. The poor girl was still young and I was sure she would love to wear beautiful clothing one day in her life. I quickly smiled and waved my hand to her to come over to me. "Emily, come here. Mom prepared some clothes for you." I do not know why but calling Ruth, mom, just seemed natural to me. I guess it was just the warmth she gave as soon as I arrived or the fact that I missed my own mother. Just knowing I had a 'mom' eased my anxiety a bit from being in a new world.

"Young Miss, you should keep them… How can a mere servant wear such beautiful clothes." Although Emily said this, you could see the wantingness in her eyes as she looked at the clothes which made me laugh. 

"Emily, mom specifically got these for you to wear. Plus how would I wear them? They are too short for me! Quickly go take a bath and put on a fresh pair of clothes." I said with a smile. 

"Yes, my mother bought these for you so they are now yours." Able also spoke up.

A bright blooming smile formed on Emily's face. It seemed she was very happy to hear me and Able tell her to take the clothes. Able handed her the package which Emily hugged with dear life as if she was afraid someone was going to take it away from her. "Then Young Miss I will go bathe."

"I will go with... ugh!" I grabbed Alissa by her collar and tugged her back. "Rei why did you stop me!?"

"I just have a feeling that if I let you go bathe with her, Emily will end up going through a traumatic experience. So you stay here." I said with one hundred percent certainty. I could see a weird gleam in Alissa's eyes which was making me question what was going on in Alissa's head all of a sudden.

"Why do you say that!?" Alissa looked at me astonished. 

"I just have a feeling is all." I said as I pulled her to sit down next to me.

"Humph, just wait until you go to sleep tonight." Alissa mumbled under her breath. Although I thought I heard something I shouldn't have, I decided to ignore it. 

"When Emily comes out we can go down to the dining hall. Mom has set up a welcoming party for you which should be ready in about an hour." Able cut in.

"That sounds great. I haven't really eaten much today." Which was true, it had already been a very long day. I was happy that I did not have too much to worry about anymore. Since tomorrow my day would be starting with morning training.

Now that I have a sword, I figured I would try to get this body into proper shape. Although my current strength was the same as a well built man, it did not mean I was even close to what I wanted to be at.

After almost thirty minutes Emily came out of the bath and I helped her get ready so she would be presentable for dinner. Able allowed her to sit with us since she was my personal maid and also so young. Plus when I asked, it seemed that he would not reject no matter what. I guess this could be considered being doted on?

The four of us went downstairs and into the dining hall where Ruth and Cedric, Able's mother and father were sitting waiting for us. "Mom, Sir Ronstine." I said with a polite bow.

"Come sit next to me Rei. And you do not need to call Cedric so formally just call him dad. You already call me mom. It would be weird otherwise." Ruth said with a smile as she pulled out the chair next to her.

"Yes, just call me dad. You will be the future madam of the Ronstine house in the future and already the young miss of the house, so there is no need to be formal. By the way, Rei, do you wish to begin training tomorrow?" Cedric asked, his handsome face became even more handsome as he smiled.

As soon as I heard I could begin training my eyes lit up instantly. I couldn't hide my excitement as I asked: "Can I!?"

"Haha! Of course, Able will run you through the basics in the morning. For now, have a good meal and a good night's rest." Cedric said with a nod. I guess he found my excitement approving since his smile became even wider. 

"Dad, I have a feeling Rei will end up giving me pointers. You did not see her movements when she fought the kidnappers. She was like a fairy as she danced about with her axe. It was truly mesmerizing." Able said as he gazed at me. I once again ended up blushing from ear to ear. 

"Oh? She is that good? I did see some of her handy work earlier when she taught that brat a lesson." Cedric replied. But his words let me breathe a sigh of relief as it seemed they were not mad at me for beating up Sara.

"You have no idea dad. She might even give you a run for your money." Able said proudly. Why he was so proud as he spoke? I had no idea.

"I-I am not that good... " I really did not think too highly of my skills. If it was not for my stats, I would not be as strong as I was now, so in a way, I was cheating.

"We will just see tomorrow. I will also be at the training ground. We can run a test to see what you need to work on."
