Chereads / Alt-Line: The Family of Sin / Chapter 13 - To you my name is...

Chapter 13 - To you my name is...

Before the three maids could leave they are stopped for some last words with a smiling Elaine who gives a quick wink to the girls, "Since your answers and girls are exceptional I've given you all an extra surprise."

Back in the room Rose is there watching the three girls gather and store their mana in their skin when she feels a wave of mana surge to their room.

The girls wake up from their meditation feeling the mana and before any of them can panic Rose tells them to continue gathering and storing mana.

"With this mana changing the room you can gather the excess mana and store it at a faster pace in greater quantities because of how powerful the mana currently is."

The three of them sat back down and went back to absorbing mana. They were shocked about how fast they were storing mana in their skin. The absorption speed had multiplied by 10 for the duration of the room changing.

After 15 minutes the room finishes changing and the surging mana calms. The girls stand up and talk waiting for the others before exploring the new room 971.

"Good job girls you were able to take advantage of the excess mana and all of you were able to become C Rank. Cassandra you were able to take the most advantage and are currently at the peak of B Rank one step away from A Rank. Naomi you were able to get to the beginning of B Rank. And Nia you were able to get to the middle of B Rank." Rose proudly said to the girls

Hearing what Rose said Cassandra and Naomi looked at her and Nia with confused faces. Cassandra asked, "Why are you calling her Nia I thought her name was Raven?" Naomi nodding her head hearing the question.

Nia who heard the question eye twitched hearing the name 'Nia' come out of Cassandra's mouth even though she knew that she was not calling her that directly.

Before Rose can give an answer, Nia told Cassandra with an Ice cold tone that made her and Naomi shiver slightly, "My name is Ravinia and only Rose and Luna can call me Nia, to everyone else I am Raven."

Rose hearing an Ice cold tone almost emotionless voice from her cute Nia caused her to raise an eyebrow not knowing if she should be concerned with Nia's complete 180 or if she should be excited after learning that she was capable of having this side of her.

At that time the door opens and Luna, Freya, and Eris come into the room with excited faces. Entering the room the three maids see the awkward atmosphere. They see a Nia whose face showing no emotion other than coldness which was strange for them to see. Cassandra and Naomi were shivering slightly like they were prey being stalked by a predator and Rose who was just silent with a face of concern but also excitement which confused them.

Luna, Freya, and Eris walk up to Rose and asks, "What happened, why did we come back to seeing this?" Luna points to Cassandra, Nia, and Naomi.

"Cassandra indirectly mentioned Nia as Nia instead of Raven when asking why I called her Nia and not Raven." Rose said trying not to confuse the others with that sentence.

"Her reaction was that great?" Freya asked.

"Indeed, It was a complete shift with no warning. One second she was normal with a smile the next this."

Freya and Eris go to their girls to calm them down and get them to stop shivering. Luna walks up to the girls with a voice of concern, "Nia are you alright?"

Nia who heard Luna voice calling her Nia turned to her with a small and joyful smile, the face she had before completely vanished with no trace of the cold indifference she had.

Everyone in the room completely shocked at Nia again who went from warm to cold back to warm. This time Rose could not contain her curiosity and comes up to Nia pulling her into a small hug asking, "Nia what was that?"

Nia in Rose's embrace looks up at her with a confused expression asks, "What was what?"

"Your little 180 when Cassandra indirectly called you Nia?"

"Only you and Luna can call me Nia whether it is directly or indirectly. To everyone else they cannot call me that or else." Nia said her voice getting colder on each word she said.

Luna who is feeling proud and concerned about Nia currently chooses to quickly change the subject, "So the room has completely changed shall we explore it and it's new rooms and areas.

Nia nods her head in joy walks with Rose and Luna to the other maids that have calmed down Cassandra and Naomi. They stare at Nia with complicated expressions as they explore this new room.
