Since their grandfather has yet to return back to the estate, Adrian and Mina were being toured by their mother. Lola rcy started to cook all the best dishes that she can whip up as she even quickly told the other helpers to procure ingredients that were not there. The house was old but incredibly sturdy as there were no renovations made.
"This is the house that I grew up in. Let lead both of you to your separate rooms as the luggage has already been sent there as well. Rember to always be respectful even to the helpers as we also consider them as part of the clan." Maria stated as she led the way.
Maria and Richard would be staying at her old room which was actually quite clean which ans that it was regularly cleaned. Adrian and Mina wanted to sleep together in one room which is why they were placed in a guest room that is a few feet away from their parent's room. The two of them did not want to separate as this is still an unfamiliar environnt to them and sticking together has beco sowhat a basic response to new stimuli for them.
Mina also wanted to take care of Adrian should he suddenly need sothing. The nearest hospital would be an hour and a half away due to the distance from the bottom. There was a dedicated doctor here in the clan, but one should always have the best options if they can.
"I did not expect that the room would be this big. It is actually two of our rooms combined and they consider this as a guest room." Adrian stated as his room and Mina's room was spacey to the point that his friends often called his room as a main bedroom.
"It just ans that the family that mother or rather our maternal family side is not as simple as it seems. If they are tied to the military, then I am convinced that they do get so big dough, but a sovereign land is not easy at this point in ti." Mina stated as she started to ponder.
"What matters is that we have arrived at last. I want to log in, but I was too afraid to ask for the wireless password. How can I even plug in my own headgear at this point." Adrian stated as he could still log into Pandemonium via a special headgear, but the reaction ti would not be the sa as that of a gaming pod.
"We are also in an important mission because we are hunting down Exiled Vampire Queens. They are as slippery as a loach which is why it is difficult to kill them." Mina stated as she was also in a personal mission.
"I guess I need to ask. We have ti since grandfather is still busy then we can hop inside the ga for a few minutes to check." Adrian stated but a knock is suddenly heard from the door.
"Children, your grandfather has returned. Co back down so that you can greet him." Maria stated as she opened the door to Adrian and Mina's room.
"Okay!" Adrian and Mina replied as they got up from their beds and went down the stairs.
"Grandchildren! You are finally here! You should have told that you would arrive early or else I would have prepared a parade to welco you." Adrian's Grandfather stated.
"That is the reason why I did not say anything about our arrival because I know that you will make a big fuss out of it." Maria stated as she and her children started to show respect to her father.
"Such promising sprouts! You are like your mother and got the good genes from her." Jose stated as he hugged and patted the foreheads of Adrian and Mina.
The two did not mind the head patting since they knew that their grandfather was deprived of seeing them grow up and interacting with them. So might say that they should be embarrassed to be cuddled with love but that is better than experiencing nothing at all. People have different ways to show love which is why it is of no problem for Adrian and Mina of the actions of their grandfather as long as they can tolerate it.
"Greetings, father." Richard stated as he reached out for Jose's hand.
"It is Sir for you." Jose stated as he still accepted Richard's form of respect.
"Yes, Sir." Richard stated.
"It is quite good that all of you were able to co here unhard and safe. Why don't I introduce Adrian and Mina to their cousins since they are already here? They should be acquainted with kids their age after all. Also, your brother has also just returned from his business trip which is why he is also here." Jose stated.
"Where is brother Mario? I did not see him though." Maria stated as her brother would have co running towards her should he know that she returned.
"I left him in charge of the current trainees as I wanted to greet you as soon as I heard that you have co. Your brother also wanted to co right away but I had to tell him to finish teaching the trainees before greeting you. I bet he is already giving those trainees a difficult ti right about now." Jose stated with a laugh.
"So… what do you or rather what does the family do, grandpa?" Mina asked as she was curious.
"We teach ways of fighting with weapons and no weapons to those that enlist our services. It is not limited to our country as we also have contracts with other countries that are allied with our country as well. Our clan is not well-known because information is also being held tightly since pesky mosquitos co about if we did not." Jose stated.
"It seems that your cousins have arrived. Co and greet them. You children should co in now." Jose stated as the helper that fetched Adrian's cousins have reported that they are inside the estate.
About three people entered which were a young boy teenager, a young girl that is in her early adulthood, and a cute girl that is about ten years old. The young teenage boy suddenly pointed at Adrian as he was shocked to see his face. The girl in her early adulthood suddenly smacked the young teenage boy's hand as it was inappropriate to point at another person.
"They look like movie stars!" The cute ten-year-old girl stated as she was describing how Adrian and Mina looked.
"Its Equinox!" A voice that is familiar to both Adrian and Mina is suddenly heard in the room.
"Apolaki?" Adrian stated in response as he could now familiarize himself with the voice of the one that pointed at them.
"Yeah! It is ! I did not think that we are actually related. I did have my assumptions since the fighting techniques that you use is similar to what the clan teaches us but to think it was real." Apolaki stated.
"Jamie! I thought I have told you that is rude to point at other people even if they are our relatives." The young woman stated.
"I was just shocked Clarissa. They almost pointed back at as well, so all is good. Plus, I already know them since we are in the sa guild in the ga that I always told you about." Jamie, Apolaki's real na, stated.
"Apologies for his behavior as he is a bit rough around the edges, but he is a kindhearted boy. My na is Clarissa, the one that pointed at you is Jamie, and the little one is…" Clarissa stated.
"Princess! My na is Princess." Princess stated as she excitedly went towards Mina as she found her very beautiful.
"Hello, Princess. My whole na is Carmina, but I just go by Mina." Mina stated.
"Adrian, it is nice to et you." Adrian stated.
"It seems that Adrian and Jamie are already acquainted with one another. That would make his stay a bit easier as you did say that he takes ti to warm up to other people. Why don't all of you talk with one another while I talk with your parents?" Jose stated.
"That is a great idea as it would still take a few hours before dinner." Maria stated as a loud shout could be heard entering the house.
"Maria! Your brother is here!" Mario stated as he leapt across the room to hug Maria.
"It is also nice to see you, big brother. Although you are only a few minutes older than ." Maria stated.
"Is this the bugger that has captured your heart? We will have a talk later after I am done catching up with my beloved sister." Mario stated.
"Papa is so noisy!" Princess stated.
"Sorry, my cute bean. Are these two Adrian and Mina!? They look a lot better in person even though they are already gorgeous in the photos!" Mario stated as Adrian and Mina were showered with hugs once again.
