Experience new tales on empire
"Big Brother!!"
"Charlotte?" Eli tilted his head in confusion when he saw a little girl with mixed purple-blue hair, small cat ears, and a petite stature standing at the entrance of his house.
"Yes, Big Brother!!" Charlotte exclaimed joyfully, her tiny hand reaching out as if to pluck Eli from the ground in her excitement.
Eli couldn't resist the charm of this adorable creature and automatically scooped her up, his gaze shifting to Pearl and Arlyne, who stood nearby with matching grins, their eyes twinkling with mischief and anticipation.
"I told you, He would be so surprised to see~" Pearl chimed in teasingly as she playfully pinched Arlyne's rosy cheeks.
"Ouch!" Arlyne yelped in mock pain, batting Pearl's hand away with a scowl.
"So, this is not a costume?" Eli questioned with furrowed brows, a hint of confusion evident in his voice. His memories of Leon's about Charlotte never had any hint about her being a cat race.
"Oh, Eli dear, do you truly think we would play such a trick on you?" Pearl replied with a mischievous glint in her eyes, relishing the surprise on Eli's face.
"Well, I don't mind donning a costume for y..o....u ..." Arlyne's cheeks flushed crimson as she stumbled over her words, her playful facade momentarily faltering.
"Hehe... Then I am eagerly awaiting that moment~" Eli whispered playfully, intending to tease her further when suddenly,
"Well, I cannot allow my dear sister to become the subject of another man's fantasy," Oliver, who had been discreetly observing from the shadows, finally stepped forward with a protective air.
"B-Big brother!!" Arlyne's embarrassment deepened, realizing her brother had overheard her earlier slip of the tongue.
"I apologize, Sister, but I cannot in good conscience leave you alone with a known womanizer!" Oliver declared firmly, his protective instincts in full force.
"We share his sentiments!" Kyra and Kira chimed in unison, emerging from their hiding spots with identical expressions of concern.
"...." Eli blinked, momentarily taken aback by the sudden turn of events, before letting out a resigned sigh and gesturing for everyone to come inside.
As they entered, exchanging glances filled with a mix of amusement and curiosity, one figure remained hidden in the background, silently trailing behind the others, their presence unnoticed for the moment.
As they moved into the living hall,
"NYA!!" Kitty Anna suddenly opened her eyes wide, her nose perked up as she muttered, "I smell a powerful enemy," sniffing the air with heightened sensitivity.
Spotting Eli approaching, Kitty Anna let out a lazy yawn before leaping down from the sofa and darting over to Eli in a hurry.
"M-Master~nya, I smell a pow.e..r...fful..." Kitty's words trailed off as she noticed Eli embracing someone else.
Instinctively sensing Charlotte as a potential threat, Kitty Anna's eyes widened in alarm, "M-Master, who is this?
Are you going to abandon your cute little Kitty?
Arlyne glanced at Pearl for confirmation before explaining, "Well, it happened while we were bathing with her. Suddenly, there was a surge of mana out of nowhere, and that's when she transformed."
"More like those ears and tail just popped out," Pearl corrected her with a chuckle.
"Hmm?" Eli furrowed his brows, asking for the precise date and time. After receiving that information, he mused to himself, 'I see... So, it was when I regained consciousness in the World Tree,' glancing briefly at Charlotte and pondering, 'Is she somehow related to that door?'
"Master"
"Master"
Two different voices interrupted, drawing everyone's attention to Scylla and Prisania walking in from the kitchen with soft drinks in hand.
'Who's this new woman?' was the collective thought, as the pink-haired, twin-tailed girl appeared unfamiliar to everyone in Eli's circle.
"So, this child is your adopted daughter, Master?" Scylla inquired, eyeing Charlotte who was engrossed in playing with Kitty Anna.
"Yes," Eli confirmed with a nod.
Scylla knelt down before Charlotte and greeted her with a warm smile, "Hey, cutie~"
Charlotte flinched momentarily before seeking refuge by clinging to Eli.
"It's okay, she won't harm you," Eli reassured Charlotte, trying to ease her nerves.
"Here," Scylla offered a candy, but Charlotte remained cautious, not falling for the trick.
Noticing the tension, Prisania stepped in, introducing herself, "Hello, Cutie, I'm your big brother's wife. My name is Prisania."
Charlotte glanced at Prisania, then back at Eli for confirmation.
"Yes," Eli affirmed, though Charlotte had another question.
"So, I have three mamas?"
"Three?" Scylla frowned in confusion.
"Yes, Pearl Mama, Arlyne Mama, and now Pri... Prisania Mama?" Charlotte counted on her fingers, her expression a mix of wonder and innocence.
"Big brother has many mamas..." Charlotte looked at Eli with admiration.
However, the moment of admiration was interrupted as Eli glanced at Prisania and Scylla who was deadly staring at Pearl and Arlyne.
Pearl and Arlyne didn't seem to back down as their dark eyes stared return back.
'Fuck! The fight is about to break!!' Oliver exclaimed, hastily backing away from the impending conflict.
