As we continue to observe Shemer. He walked towards me, then get down to his knees and kissed my hand. I was so stunned that I was not able to pull my hand.
"Hello Evangeline Antoinette Kraevia Evernight, my master." He then looked me in the eye with a very charming smile on his face.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"Who are you to kiss my niece's hand?"
Both grandpapa and Uncle Allister reacted. Uncle Allaster then carried me away in front of Shemer. The look in his eyes gave me chills. As if Shemer was a specimen that he will dissect.
These three are overprotective sometimes. The way they react is more than the reaction of both father and mother. My parents and Aunt Joana just facepalmed while watching these three reactions.
"Well, that's rude. I just want to talk to my master. Do think you can stop me?"
Suddenly, the three of them fell on their knees. While mother carried me away from second uncle and father stood in front of us. Aunt Joana protected my cousins and brothers.
"A large amount of mana is being released by your sword chairman. You have to stop him because he may destroy your room."
Zero suddenly spoke in my head. I watched grandpapa and uncle and it looks like they are struggling.
"What do you think you are doing?" I spoke in a displeased tone and look at him with cold eyes.
"Oh! I thought that I have to show them my strength. They looked so weak so I have to test them."
"I thought I was your master? Did you consider asking me before doing that? If you won't stop, I will not acknowledge as my sword."
We continued to stare at each other, then he suddenly put his hands up, surrendering.
"Alright! As you wish, master."
The oppressive mana then vanished, and I saw grandpapa and my uncles standing up. Wow! How much power this sword has? Grandpapa and my uncles are on the top list in the empire when it comes to strength.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"Okay! I understand. You have my apologies, gentlemen. I was just testing your strength." He said with resignation.
"Good. Are you okay, grandpapa, uncles?" I then checked their situation.
"I'm okay, little Evie," Grandpapa said while he sits on the chair.
"Were okay darling." Uncle Allister said as he peeks a look at Shemer.
"I understand Shemer's intention, little Evie. He just wants to make sure that we can protect you." Uncle Allaster explained.
"Yes, master. These bugs seem to understand my intention. I think I would give them a passing line with their strength." He smirks arrogantly.
"Bugs? Where are your manners? Do have no respect for your elders?" I then smack his head.
This won't do. I need to train this kid's manners. His attitude irritates me. I really want to kick his side.
"Well, bugs are an appropriate term for the humans who are not my master and my manners are just for you, master. Other people are insignificant in my eyes. And my age is way older than the people inside this room." He said while pouting his mouth.
"Now that you acknowledge me as your master, you have to also respect the people I love. Do you understand? I don't want to hear that you are calling people around me bugs. And I don't care if you are older.
I only give respect to those who are respectful to me and my family. Plus, how are you older when you have the body of a kid?"
"I understand. I will not call them bugs anymore, but I will call them humans. My respect is only reserve for you. My body became like this because my power is still sealed. As you grow and learn how to control your mana, my body will eventually return to its original size."
"Well, that's at least acceptable, but I hope someday you can learn to accept the people around me."
I don't understand why he is like that. Maybe he has some scars from the past. Maybe it is also the reason why he did not choose anyone to be his master.
But I cannot understand why he chose me?
Am I that powerful?
