3rd person Pov:
"Michael, what happened? Are you okay?" Noah entered the room and shot himself toward Michael. Julian and Blake were also the same. "Are you okay Sierra? Are you hurt? What happened to you?" Blake grabbed Sierra and questioned her. Sierra was not moving, and her body was ever so slightly trembling. Though this angered Blake, he was more worried about her. The bloodlust from before was deadly enough for him. If Sierra was also subjected to it, her mind might not be sane right now. But he was relieved to see that when he held her, she responded and came out of her daze.
On Julian's side, he also hurriedly held Steven and Alice. His action also brought them out of their daze, and they were relieved to see their grandfather. "Alice, Steven, what happened to you? Are you okay? Tell me who did this to you?" Julian asked his grandchildren about what had transpired. He was also angry but then relieved when he saw that there was no damage to their minds and mentality. Though they were still trembling and that was enough to make Julian angry.
When Alice saw her grandfather, she started trembling. She was hiccupping while trying hard not to cry. On the other side, Sierra also felt like crying. Other children in the hall were also on the verge of crying. But before they could, someone else did. And very loudly at that.
"Uwaaaaahhhhh... Grandfather, I am scared. Something was here. A ghost was here. Waah… I'm scared, grandfather. And and hic ... Something... hic ... something happened to ... to Cousin Yven. Uwaaaaahhhhh…. I AM SCARED." And that someone was none other than Michael. It was Noah who was stunned this time. He forgot about everything regarding the bloodlust earlier or his grandson's thick tears. There was only one thing on his mind right now. 'Michael's a good actor. He definitely takes after me. No, maybe even better than me.' He knew. Michael was one of the children in the room who was all right. The other one was the silver-haired girl. He had noticed that the moment he entered the room.
So, either they were just not affected, or they were the source. But one of them was the source while the other one was not the target. Only those who were not the target or those who were the source could survive that wave. The girl was not the source as she was not in the same direction. Blake and Julian were a bit behind so they could not sense the direction of the source. All they knew was the general direction. But Noah knew. And that was why he knew that Michael was the source. But he concluded it to be an action on the subconscious level. There was no way for a child to know anything about death to have such a thick bloodlust. So, he concluded it must be his awakening. There were many reasons, and such incidents had happened before. Though not as extreme as this one, there were still some. And Michael's awakening period was close so it must have been that. If only he knew.
"What? A ghost!!!! Don't worry, grandpa is here. I will find all the ghosts in the world and exterminate them from this world. Don't be scared, my boy. Don't be scared." Nevertheless, he played along.
And at this act, everyone else in the room was stunned. Especially Sierra and Alice. It was too late. And they somewhat forgot about their fear too. The perpetrator of the whole incident himself was acting like that. If they say that it was him, everyone will have a hard time believing it. Unlike everyone else, both girls had their eyes on Michael, so they knew that he was the cause of that strange feeling. But with the convincing act in front of them, they just had to swallow their words.
Blake and Julian waited for answers, but the answer never came. They just stood there waiting for the girls to speak. It was then that everyone else also made their way to the room. Carla shot herself at Michael and held him tightly and Joseph did the same. 'Ahhh… Where did they come from? They are going to suffocate me. And no matter how happy I am by hugging Carla, it makes me mad that this lucky bastard is also hugging her, from behind at that. This Erotic bastard. Even in this situation, he goes for the good part.' And Michael, contrary to his expression, had different thoughts in his head.
At last, Andreas came into the room. He looked around the room and found Yven in the corner. He could also see his wet and soiled pants. That embarrassed him. Even before he could find out what happened, he wanted to hit him once for such a shameful act. Well, the real reason he was angry was that he also had almost done the same. So, he made his way to Yven to scold him but before he could even touch him, "NOOOOOO…. DON'T HURT ME, I WON'T HURT ANYONE EVER AGAIN. PLEASE FORGIVE ME." He started yelling all sorts of things like a maniac. This act of his stunned Andreas. It was like he had seen the devil. That was how he was shivering and spouting gibberish.
This act not only attracted Andreas but also everyone else's attraction as well. Especially of three individuals. Sierra, Alice, and Sylvia. 'What had happened to him?' Especially Sierra. She knew that whatever that feeling was, was targeted toward Yven. because even though she was close to them, she only felt a little uncomfortable. So, whatever was happening to him, was done by Michael.
On the other hand, Michael was also looking at him, for a brief moment, a moment that no one noticed that change in his expression. 'Ah… Crap. I hope I didn't break him. But well, it's not like it's my fault. He is the bad guy here. I punish bad guys anyway, so I was just doing my job.' Well, almost no one had noticed. Two people did. One old man and one young girl. Noah noticed because he was not looking at anything else other than Michael from the start, and Sylvia because for the first time in her life, someone had stood up for her. It was not like she had twinkling eyes like a damsel who was saved.
She was looking at him with a wary gaze so when he made an expression of leisureliness after pulling something like that, she immediately noticed it and so could not help but wonder, 'Maybe he is different from the other nobles.'
