Chapter 22: Anatolia 3
"We also want to go." As the words were heard two stunning figures came into the sight.
"Sophia, Leonard what are you two doing here?" After seeing his friends Zoel asked, surprised, but he could not help feeling warm in his heart when he heard their words.
"What do you mean what are we doing here? If we didn't come, wouldn't you two sneak out to go after the baby by yourselves and leave us here?
Hump. Might I remind you that she can be counted as our little sister as well. There is no way I would let you two go and get the baby's affections ahead of me." Sophia declared with a smug look on her face as if saying that she could see right through their petty tricks.
The girl's gray hair fluttered because of the non-excitant wind in the room. Her beautiful sharp jawline was raised up arrogantly as her beautiful blue eyes shone with a youthful vigor.
The twin next to her though quiet subconsciously nodded in agreement with his sister as his green eyes also looked at the boys with a blame.
At this Zoel could not help feeling speechless and warm at the same time he then looked at Shio and knew how lucky he was to have such great friends, no brothers and sister.
Roman looked at the kids as their eyes shone with confidence and vigor and in the end decided to give in.
"Okay, you can all go together but be careful don't jump into things headfirst."
"Yes, grandpa."
"Yes, grandpa Roman."
The kids answered at the same time with an undisguised happiness and excitement.
Shio, Sophia, and Leonard were not ordinary children. They were Zoel's childhood friends and they were also from the 12 great families of the upper realm.
4 young second generations together with de Laval family's other confidants set off the next morning.

On Morana's side.
After resting in the small village for 2 days Morana and Samael went back to their journey, this time they had four more flavors of chocolate bars dark chocolate, with strawberry filling, mint chocolate, and for the last one it was ruby chocolate.
Other than chocolate Morana also made potato chips with a classical flavor as well as hot once.
Her last addition was ice-cream with chocolate and vanilla flavors.
If it was not for their monstrous physique, they would have probably already become overweight.
In addition to her menu Morana also made some weights to wear on her legs and she constantly increased their weight.
If at the beginning, each one weighed only 5 pounds it was now 10 pounds.
The reason why she did this training was the special weapon she used in her previous life. Even though she was able to use dozens of different weapons 3 were her primary weapons.
These three were the ones she excelled in the most.
Other than her inventions there was one more new addition to their lives.
It seems like they gained a new tail. Morana and Samael noticed him since they left Lilildam, but since the kid didn't get too close or had any malicious intent, they just let him be.
Yes, the new tail they gained was the winner of the second place of the annual competition, Ioannes.
At night, as they started to make their dinner and the fragrant smell overwhelmed the space, they heard an embarrassing grumble from behind the large rock.
At this Morana could no longer keep it In and started laughing unrestrainedly. Her reaction made the young boy even more embarrassed as he tried to make his presence minimum.
Alas, his effort was not appreciated and his ostrich behavior made Morana laugh even more, even Samael had a hard time restraining himself as his shoulders trembled a little.
After about 30 minutes of embarrassment Morana finally decided to let the poor kid go.
"You are Ioannes right?" She asked suddenly.
"Y…Yes."
"Hmm. Then Ioannes, you have been following us for quite some time now do you want anything?"
Her straightness surprised the boy a bit so, he didn't know how to answer so he could only mumble.
"I…um…that…I." he was like a frightened little kitten, this almost sent Morana to another frantic laughing episode, but in the end, she managed to restrain herself.
"Now, now. You don't have to be so frightened. We won't eat you. Why don't you sit down and eat with us and then we can slowly talk about your matters." She said.
"No…you can…"
But before he could finish his words another not so low grumble was heard from his stomach.
"Phahaha. Ah sorry, sorry. Let's just sit down and it ok? Then we can talk." Morana said once again leaving no room for refuting.
And finally, a little wild kitty could only nod his head obediently.
So, they ate happily with the accompaniment of the starry sky and some night birds.
Even after they finished their food Ioannes stayed quiet not knowing where to start explaining.
"Just start from somewhere, anyway nothing will change if you stay quiet for longer." Finally, Samael who has not said anything since the boy's arrival decided to speak up, annoyed at Ioannes's silent treatment.
The boy knew he was right so after letting out a small sign he finally started talking.
"The reason why I have been following you is because I want to ask your help, please help me." He said as he humbly bowed down in front of Morana greatly surprising both her and Samael.
They didn't know what to do as this turn of events were completely out of their expectation.
