Gray watches as the grand patriarch walks out of the room still feeling the impact of his presence.
When the grand patriarch leaves the room, the tension in the room also disappeared like it never existed which makes Fidelia to sigh in relief.
"So that man is my grandfather. The title of grand patriarch is not an understatement. But if I were to get some attention from him or if I were to be trained by him no one in the family would dare try to come after me. But by the way he was acting up he looks like a don't care type but…that's the best type of character trait that I expect from none other than, Lyon Leonhard, the golden black lion, one of the only two people in the whole family who are able to use the ultimate sword technique of the family that not even my father, who was regarded as a genius and a legendary swordsman, could not be able to use." Gray self-talks while making a satisfactory smile of the fact that his grandfather is someone who could be of great help to him due to his great authority.
"The title golden black lion was given to Lyon Leonhard due to his golden dark hair which was unusual from the typical shining golden hair of the members of the Leonhard household.
His father, grays great grandfather, thought that Lyon was a disgrace to the family since he didn't poses the complete golden hair but a dark one which made his hair look dull. But little did they know how powerful he was.
As the first person in the family to be able to use the family's secret sword technique, despite not being able to fully use it as stated in the family historical books on the sword technique and those that have ever used it but he was still able to use it.
The technique that is said to defy divine laws, and even able to destroy gods and monarchs.
The technique itself was created by one the family's greatest patriarchs, the man was said to be more powerful than the first patriarch himself, he was worshiped like a god but why not after all he had a god title bestowed upon him, a title that has remained empty for hundreds of years and never occupied by anybody from the family or by anybody in the world." Gray continuous self-talking as he remembers what his father wrote in his diary and from the books that were in his father's study.
"I wonder what our grandfather will do to us since it looks that he didn't just come to 'see his grandchildren'. With his behavior it looks like he had other intentions and if what am thinking is right I can use this to my advantage." Gray goes on self-talking then smiles mischievously.
"Why don't we go see mother. It's best if we go see her early so that she won't feel offended." Hugo says, bring Gray back to reality, the three mothers look at each other knowing who their mother-in-law was.
Céline Leonhard the mother to Grays father, Julian Leonhard, is one of the grand patriarch's wife but what makes her special is that she was the Lyons first wife and the one he truly loved the most the others were due to political reasons.
She is also the one that gave birth to four of the six most powerful children born in the family when Lyon was the patriarch with all four of her children being recognized by both the royal and imperial family.
Céline herself prides on her family, children and husband. But it is also said that among Lyon Leonhard's concubines there was only one that was truly close to Céline to the point she thought of the woman's child as her own and even took care of her and lives with her in her mansion.
"It's best if we go then. It's been a long time since we met mother. Especially you Lily, I feel like she will yell at you for remaining quiet for so long and not contacting the family." Eunhyang says looking at Lily who nervously laughs at the thought of there mother-in-law getting angry at her.
"If you're going to see the grand patriarch's wife, I could take you there. I just meet her before coming here. She even came with Lady Sophie." Fidelia says now more calm and having regained her normal self.
"So Sophie is here. As expected of mother, she can't go anywhere without her. Oh, well there is nothing we can do. Let's go and greet them." Hugo says chuckling a bit then sighs.
"Yes my lord." Fidelia responds as she starts to lead them to where the grand patriarch's wife is.
"Wait first." Lily says which makes everyone stop and turn to look at her.
"Why are we stopping." Gray self-talks look confused.
"What's wrong Lily? Don't you want to go see mother? Am not surprised since she might yell at you for…" Eunhyang says but is cut off.
"It's not that." Lily says in a low voice.
"What is going on Lily?" Roxanna asks looking worried as she gets closer to her friend. Hugo looks more serious waiting to hear what Lily had to say.
"We need to keep the fact our children are able to use the beast transformation ability. If people were to find out…" Lily trails of as she looks at Gray with an anxious look on her face.
"…they might try to harm them." Hugo finishes Lily statement understanding the cause of her anxiety and fear.
"Yes, not everyone will be happy especially those that are not from the first mother, your mother Hugo." Lily says.
"Your right. How did I forget about that, if people knew about our children being able to take there beast form it will be hectic and they may most probably will try to harm them.
Those from the family and those that are not from the family. So I believe that what Lily is saying is right, we need to keep this secret.
That also includes you Fidelia. I will be the one to tell Raul about it so you shouldn't say anything. Even if you are tortured, keep your mouth completely sealed." Hugo says as his tone changes to an almost murderous one making the air to feel heavy.
This makes Fidelia flinch feeling the killing intent being emitted by the patriarchs younger brother.
"Y…yes my lord. M…my mouth is completely sealed. I…I will die with this secret if a must." Fidelia stammers as she tries to build up courage as she pledges to keep everything a secret.
"That's great then, but shouldn't we be going to see mother. She might start to think that we are deliberately not going to greet her and I don't want her to feel offended." Eunhyang says appearing next to her husband smiling so as to ease the mode.
"Yes your right Eunhyang, we should better get going and go greet her. She will be excited to see her grand kids." Roxanna says lightning the mood even more.
"Let's go then." Hugo says and then gesturing Fidelia to lead them to where the grand patriarchs wife is.
The five of them leave the room and walk down the hallway, being led by Fidelia as the three mothers each hold their children in their hands, still in cub form.
Soon they reach a door which Fidelia opens reliving a large room with the other side covered with glass window as a wall, which allowed sunlight to flood into the room, facing the mansions garden.
Inside the room there is a table and on the table there are tea cups, a tea pot and platters filled with cookies and small cakes. Standing next to the table are four female servants and sited down on the chair are two women, one older than the other.
The older of the two women, a woman with ash brown hair and golden eyes stands up from her sit.
"Hello, mom." Hugo says looking at the woman with a clam gaze while smiling at her. The woman places her hand over her mouth as emotions start to take over her and tears can be seen on the comers of her eyes.
"My baby!" She says as she runs towards them. Hugo opens his arms to hug her but instead of hugging him she goes and hugs Lily. This leaves Hugo with a slightly surprised dumbfounded look on his face.
"My child I have missed you a lot." The woman says as tears continue to well up in the corners of her eyes.
"I missed you too mom." Lily says as emotions also start to take control over her. The other woman who was sited gets up and walks up to them, her auburn hair glowing in the sunlight as she slowly walks up to them.
"It's nice to see you Lily." The woman says smiling.
"Am happy to see you too Sophie." Lily says to the woman with auburn hair. The older woman pulls back and looks at Lily.
Her gaze slowly drifting towards Gray who is in still in his mother's arms, in his cub form. She then quickly looks at both Roxanna and Eunhyang who are each holding a cubs in their arms.
"Who are this little cuties." She says looking at Gray.
"Err…they are your grand kids mom." Hugo says as he scratches the back of his head anxiously. She smiles before looking surprised.
"What!!" the woman exclaims looking surprised. Sophie looks at them dumbfounded. The older woman takes several steps backwards.
