As the scene returned to normal again, the old priest just masked herself with normal expressions as she already used to such scene and requests, it is the same for Rein as he maintained his aloof face. Then Emma just interjected again.
" So how was his conditions Grandma Celine?, is there anything wrong with him?" she asked.
The old priest just sighed and utter her findings,
"Well the young master is not in any dire condition, his body just have sigil malfunctioned and his left eyes especially no longer works which makes him partially blinds"
This revelation shocks both of the lady especially Elise because Rein kept saying that he is okay when he is not, when returning to the mansion she never realised that his left eyes was hollow because she is focused on her worst body condition, by then he is already partially blind. Then she burst into tears in front of them, while seeing this upon his eyes, Rein just hugged and comforts her saying it's okay and not a big deals. While Emma was also crying but in moderation. The old priest just sighed seeing them,
'i wonder what happen if they know the whole truth, but I leave to him to handle' she thought.
"Why did you not tell us about his Rein?"Emma said to him.
"Well, is not a big deal for me, as long as I can still see with my right eyes, it's okay right" he chuckled making a fun jokes.
But Emma just watched him sternly with tears in her eyes. But Rein just sighed and calmed both of them down once again. After soothing Elise and Emma, the old priest say a few words.
" I am sory ladies, but I cannot do anything about his eyes, even the elf clan from the southern continent with their advance healing magic cannot cure his blindness, you guys also knows the golden rules right".She added,
The mention of golden rules makes them silence for a bit . They just gritted they teeth holding off their turbulence emotions and just accepted the fate that takes upon Rein.
The golden Rules in this worlds that have been passed upon generation, one of them is that
'One that bears the utmost talent, will bears the utmost sacrifice'
Which means that even a talented person only have his power for certain period of time and the gods can take that away anytime which will render them to nothingness. Then after giving her advices on how to improve their conditions especially Rein, the old priest just walked back, returning to the Gurneve Temple. Then silence continue after that, both Elise and Emma was engulfed in quite bad mood. But Rein just broke the silence with his next words trying to comfort the ladies.
" I am hungry, are you guys not, I want to cook but you know I am not a good condition to cook?"
When he says this, both the lady just stared sharply at him but didn't say anything. They know that Rein just trying to distract their thoughts and concern. While, he just indicated that he wants Elise or Emma to cook for him, but the lady seems still upset for his doing and lies.This continued for few minutes until he firmly said.
" Well, you guys seems to be in no condition to cook especially Elise, maybe I just go to Honeymaid's inn for quick takeout"
When he says this words, Both the ladies eyes becomes tense and the grips they had upon his hands and shoulders became tight.
"No way!!!, absolutely no! "Elise interjected
"I'll forbid you from going there Rein, you just want to flirt with Marie right?". Emma smile with a dangerously.
"Eh, I just want to have a quick eat and go home though" he answered feeling confused.
"No, we will cooked for you, a lot bunch until you don't want to go there, right sister?".
Elise says while directing her gaze upon Emma, while Emma just nodded. Rein just shrugged it off and moves to the kitchen followed by Emma and Elise. Soon there are sounds of working and cooking along with laughter and banter among them. Seems like they are distracted for quite a bit. After having their fill, they just sat upon a cushion at their living room, watching the fire that was lit inside fireplace warming them up slowly. They stacked together likes glue enjoying the subtle warm from the fireplace and from each other.
Rein was sitting at the center, while Elise on the left having a lap pillow from Rein and Emma just leans her heads on Rein's right shoulder. It's a warm and blissful moment for them. Then Emma opened up her thoughts
"The wars have ended in central continent, I heard the Scarlett Family have defeated the 2nd sanction of abyss too, their captain, was moving back to central region. While the southern continent also have been cleaned off with helps of The Greenlake witches and elf clan alliance, we are at peace now" she stated.
"The wars are over, we also have done our part in northern continent" Rein added.
"Yes, now we can go back to our daily lives at snowdawn", Elise muttered.
"then we can proceed with our next planning right" Emma asked with excitement all over her face showing to both of Elise and Rein.
"Planning???" Both Elise and Rein asked somewhat confused as they don't know what planning have come to Emma's heads.
" are you guys really dense or just pretending to not know, the wars is over, then we can proceed with my planning, it's time to walk a new chapter in our lives, which conducting a noble marriage of course, a noble needs to continue their bloodline for sure" she said in excitement,
Rein looks at her with his jawed down while Elise just blushed furiously on Rein's lap coverings her heads with her hands.Then Rein just asked
"your are planning to married the Bondol's viscounty after a long time being pursued?".
Expecting an answer from Emma, Emma just jabbed a punch on his stomach which makes him gasped over a slight pain. The expressions of Emma became contorted while producing a dangerous smile towards Rein.
" Who say I gonna marry that Idiot you stupid!!!" She replied with high tone.
" Well, the only persons stalking and keep pursuing you for years are the Bondol's man right"
" so I thought..., well I am sory to jump into conclusion hahaha" Rein say while chuckling.
Then, Emma just relaxed again and place her heads again onto Rein's shoulder, while looking at the fireplace, her looks becomes gentle which made Rein mesmerized and confuse at the same time. But Emma suddenly speaks up.
"I am asking you for real this time, Reindell Von Silvanne, when are you going to marry both of us?, I am mustering my courage to speaks ups my feelings of love towards you, so you as a nobleman should provide a significant answer right?".She says while looking at his eyes.
He just looks at her figuring his answer, but the person on his laps just furiously blushing while being frantic which distracted him. Looking at them, it's been quite a while for them to have feelings for him and he is aware about of it. If it about years ago, it's the wars that prevent him to respond to their feelings, but now the wars is over while a new problem regarding his conditions conflicted his own feelings. Emma just stared at him while Elise stopped moving but still covers her face awaiting for his answer. Then he sighed and was about to say something but Emma took the leads first.
"Don't say nonsense such as we are brother and sister, although we treats you like a brother, we want more than that right Elise?, In the first place, we are not related by blood by any means, isn't that a good enough reason?. Emma stated while mentioning Elise, but Elise still says silent but some anudible mutterings come from her mouth.
"If you don't properly respond this time, I am sure Emil will be surely disappointed with you" she says with winning pose
"Hey, that's cheating you shouldn't be dragging Emil for this matter!!!"
"No, he also have part in this"
Elise : 'blubbering'
Then, they banter and laughter continue for the night.
