My name belongs to me only

The Reunion

Liume jewels are a special type of material that is made by putting in or gaining lime from the surrounding environment. They gather specific liume from either water, air, fire and earth, which is why they can be found in those four conditions which are artificial. The natural ones are the ones that are made without any interference by any other species, so they are quite rare. The artificial liume jewels are when any individual pours their liume into a physical state for the jewels for experiments or for people without liume, since this type of situation is special.

"Your Majesty, if I may?"

Seth asked Clover, receiving a nod of approval, before asking him a question.

"Don't we normally have the Gallagher house with the Alaric family killing the monsters to get most of the liume jewels?"

Another way of getting liume jewels is by killing the monsters that creep out of the earth or appear out of nowhere most of the time.

"Yes, but it seems to be a problem. There have been fewer dungeons appearing and, due to that, the monsters have been appearing, so we can't rely on that anymore."

Clover said with a grim voice, as everyone remained silent, not having anything else to add to the conversation, before the door was opened abruptly.

Bam.

"Miss Gallagher, you don't have to be aggressive against the door." One of the advisors spoke.

"At least, the doors weren't ruined this time." A woman with light brown hair with a tint that made it look reddish, packed into a messy braid with uneven parted bangs wearing steel armor over her upper body, wearing a white silk gown which was stained with blood droplets coming from her hands, fell on the white ceramic tiles, then her company, who looked a bit too tall. His body language indicated his being around his early twenties, wearing a black cloak covering his entire body, leaving only his face to be seen. One of his hands was a banquet of roses in his right hand and his left was held by a child who was shaking from the cold. He removed his cloak and used it as a blanket for the little one.

"Your Majesty, we are sorry for being late, we were stopped by some bandits on our way, we had to get rid of them." The brown-haired woman proclaimed, as she had received a handkerchief from Seth to wipe the remaining stains of blood from her body carefully to avoid spilling more blood on the ground. As the latter took his time to look at his sister, who looked away as he realized that he had been played by her.

"We get that, but why is Jake holding a scared kid? Last time we checked he was as cold as my sister and Rico."

Clover said quite bluntly while studying the child's appearance. He didn't move, silently observing hers and eventually looked. She didn't seem comfortable with eye contact, and he seemed to respect that. A look of realization flashed on his face with the rest of the others in the room. She was small, having a pair of extra ears on her head, simply stating she wasn't human. The other thing that got his attention was that she was touching something black and long, which was the scaly tail.

She was also in pain as she was holding her hands, then her clothes, which were shabby and akin to a piece of rag, her ankles were bruised from the force of one's hands, her entire appearance was unsightly for a child her age.

It showed she was kidnapped and tortured on top of it all, as she had marks scattered around her clothes. She felt the stares of everyone in the room, lowering her head, hiding behind Jake, who was raising his hands up, attempting to cover her eyes, to feel less threatened by the people around her. He just happened to see her and nothing more and Erica just had to be by his side bickering nonstop about saving her.

Liza took the liberty of trying to speak to her. She was still scared, frightened, she could see fear in her eyes something she shouldn't have. She brought her hand closer while she did the opposite of what Liza did.

"Hey, what is your name? I would really like to know and don't worry, we don't bite, but we could be annoyed by that for sure, especially him."

She pointed at Seth, he had a pained expression on his face while the others either chuckled or just kept quiet looking at him with a smug face.

"Mm...my...nam.me is Lucia, I a...m five, I a…m a fown." She startled in her sentence.

"So your part Foumet and part luwn, huh?"

Rico said.

"Wow Rico, I can't believe you decided to actually speak in this meeting at all."

Seth snickered at Christa's comment.

And Rico simply ignored Seth, and resumed reading his book while speaking to Lucia, who was hyperventilating and tugging on at Erica.

"Hey, little one, you're not the only one who is half a species, the guy that brought you here is half dragon and half human, making him a Luend."

His middle finger pointing at Jake, who wasn't even interested in their talk about species, all he wanted to do was to talk to Lisa and give her the flowers and discuss the jiume(liume jewels) with the king and maybe just maybe talk to Christa about his engagement ceremony if he had the time.

Lucia looked at Jake with sparkling beaming eyes at his figure, he was just like her except he didn't do what he went through. Unknown to her, he suffered more than she ever could.

"Rico, don't forget your also part human and demon too, ya know?"

His fiancé said, who was still reading Liza's new book 'Forever yours'. Her inspiration was the interaction between Seth, her brother and Jake, her fiancé, just as their relationship was in the real world. Seth was submissive and Jake was dominant, leading to a steamy relationship. She was reaching the best part until Clover took her book away, leaving her sulking.

"As much as I love you, increasing your love of your hobby of reading BL. Don't you have something to say to Lucia?" Clover pointed at the broccoli-coloured haired infant who was getting comfortable with the others.

"Big Brother, last time I checked you forgot. I am not good with kids, especially the ones who have been scared mentally, so I am not involved in this, but you can make her a playmate for Daniel and Drake, while Jake then adopts her into the Alaric dukedom and gets her into therapy. It will ensure more social interaction with people her age and those who understand her pain and now, if you would excuse me, let me continue my book and let Jake give Lisa the bouquets in his arms and let him hug her already. He is practically begging. Just look at his eyes, Clov. He needs attention and let Seth be scolded by Erica. She is the only person that can knock some sense into that man of hers."

She clarified, taking her book away from Clover, who just looked at Jake and nodded at him to hug Liza, and he ran and grabbed her, giving her the bouquets which she smiled back to him, indicating she was grateful for, then bringing his cloak down to give him a peck on the cheek showing his snowy silver-like curvy hair.

Lucia liked the sight of the couple and was astonished by the way they both reminded her of their parents before they were killed brutally in the heart by her elder brother who was beheaded by the slave traders.

As Christa was busy cheering on Seth and Erica, who were busy arguing about who was better looking at the couple, Rico gently grabbed Christa by the wrist and just left the others to not gather their stupidity who was waving them goodbye.
