Another who felt that this beautiful young man since appearing is quite shameless. He is rather old when compared to their young miss and too beautiful to trust. What if he uses their young miss and even accepts concubines?
What if their young miss is sad?
What if she becomes depressed?
One of the servants who serve in the outer yard of the young miss said words that made her think a little harder before allowing her words to trail off. "Perhaps, but the young master…"
An old servant spoke up. She too is aware of many things. There is a strong possibility that the young master Au might become the first husband of the young miss Kai. This is to help with the heir. The young miss is powerful, and she is only four years old yet too mature. It is only calculations but something that has to be done early least she is snatched away by another.
Her children and that of the young master Au can then become the heir to the Kai family if there are no issues. That is why she must inform them before they speculate too far.
"We can only speculate, and the old madam Kai as an elder can try but remember he, in the end, is an Au and not a Kai. The only legal heir to the Au family."
"The Kai family do not have heirs either related by close blood."
"Then the young miss?" A little servant girl from the outer yard asked in a trembling tone. She really feels that this young miss might be mistreated. One of the nearby servants shook her head and spoke, soothing her instantly with a few words. "Males will have to marry in, the wealth of the Kai first branch has multiplied several times over since her arrival."
"Yes, our levels have risen, and we have become self-sufficient." while the servants spoke old madam Kai listened and smiled.
It is good these servants thought this way. Her little Ra is safe. As for that brother of her deceased husband... She sneered, crushing the delicate cup in her hands grinding it to dust. He will not dare!
On the other side, young master Au looked down at the tiny bundle who laid in his lap. The words spoken not too long ago surfaced in his mind. 'Big brother, you are the next master of the Kai family and the Au. Even though I have tried my best to strengthen you, having a powerful person by your side to protect, you is also good.'
Au Fuji had listened. He had further asked her opinions before searching for the appropriate candidate. It did not take long before he found a presentable boy around twelve.
Young master Au wished with all his heart that he could stay like this for a long time, but he knew that it is not possible.
Clutching her tighter he thought of the future and the many obstacles that need to be cleared.
Not far were the two maids. They wanted to peek at the young miss who had taken off her illusion and rested in the arms of the young master Au, but the young master Au would give them a sharp look.
How could he be so unfair?
The young miss had hidden her original form for so long, she was like a little deity walking among mortals, gracing them with her presence, yet all the pleasure was given to the young master Au.
The worst is that the two must swallow their dissatisfaction because if they spoke it would be heard by the young master Au and punishment would be severe.
On the other note, the young master Au felt a slight burning in his chest. For the sake of his little Ra, he had tried to accept this elder male who would constantly be an eyesore, but it became increasingly hard. Especially when he saw that she grew comfortable with him.
Next year she will also be going to school and will stay there for six years. He already felt depressed.
Well, for now he can enjoy her company before that time came.
A few weeks later, the old madam frowned.
The letter she received was written in an old dialect of characters. Back on the mother planet it had been known as a language for those who were learned from a rather powerful empire that had fallen.
Reading the characters her hands shook, and she wondered what she would do with the young Ra her granddaughter. This school is well known already for over five thousand years of history, accepting new members every one hundred years.
It was located on a small island in the middle of the sea with the location constantly changing.
Should she reject?
Such a good thing, yet also bad. The little Ra needs moisture when compared to the other options this school is the best, it is just that the students who go there... old madam Kai sighed. it is best to consider a while and discuss it with little Ra.

My grandmother had called me a few moments prior. The maids had set the low but wide table with food. Lifting the prepared tea, I offered first to take a sip to show respect to the old madam Kai. "Little Ra, are you aware as to why I brought you here?"
I bowed my head before lifting it slightly and replying to the gentle question. "Grandmother, this granddaughter is not aware." after saying that, old madam Kai made a small gesture showing me a screen with old-world characters. Thanks to the care and dedication of my two Lecturers. I am able to read these characters, but I am still slightly confused.
"Grandmother?"
"You have been invited to a school that has unique children. I am sure that because you to, have a unique nature they have sought to welcome you as a student," she paused, taking a sip of tea. My mind suddenly became a bit chaotic, reading more my heartfelt as though it would explode in my chest for a moment but then I became calm. For these few months, I have already ranked up three times and will break through once more. With this, I had unlocked another useless skill called 'scan' with a mere thought: I can scan my surroundings and locate those around hidden or not. The scan itself had also upgraded four levels surprising me with its functions. The ranks and levels can be seen so far which made me curious; if it levels higher can I see their skills and potentials?
"Little Ra, I think this school is good for your growth. The only issue will be the food. Your appetite has grown, for us it is fine but I am not sure the school can provide for you."
"Grandmother, it is fine. I can sort it before then. Also, through my wristband if anything the food can be provided." The old madam relaxed upon hearing this. The two spoke a bit more about other matters while enjoying the 'small' meal and drinking the cool tea.
The servants on the side smiled, enjoying the warm atmosphere between grandmother and granddaughter. Those serving the young miss became a bit sorrowful after hearing the news.
