In the soft glow of the moonlight under the open sky, rustling leaves in the gentle night breeze, amid everyone's confused gazes, Eleanor leaned in and hugged Sera.
Releasing Sera from her embrace, Eleanor spoke, "It's been a while, sister. How have you been?"
"It has indeed been a while. I am doing well. And you?" Sera gently placed her palm on Eleanor's cheek with an affectionate smile.
Eleanor beamed with joy and replied, "I'm doing well."
"Vina, Tia, allow me to reintroduce her to you. She is my younger sister and your aunt," Sera presented Eleanor to her children.
"Hello, nice to meet you," Eleanor waved her hand with a mischievous smile.
Vina, Tia, Liora, and Rolland, who had their mouths agape in surprise, finally regained their senses.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Tia blurted out, "Mother, is she really your sister? The maids said..."
"Didn't I already tell you to ignore the gossip? She is indeed my own sister," Sera interrupted with a reassuring smile.
"Mother, we have an aunt?" inquired Vina.
"Yes, you have an aunt."
"Do we have other relatives too?" Vina asked with curiosity.
"Yes, you have many relatives," interjected Eleanor.
"Who are they? Where are they? When can we meet them?" Vina bombarded her questions excitedly.
"In time. But you must not tell anyone about this, okay?" Sera cautioned.
'Why does she want to keep so many things hidden?' Tia thought.
"Okay," Vina and Tia nodded.
"Then let me introduce your sister, Liora..." Just as Eleanor attempted to introduce her daughter, she noticed Liora approaching Tia and beginning to sniff his scent.
Sniff, sniff.
'What the hell, why is she smelling me? Do I smell bad?' Tia was taken aback.
Liora suddenly beamed excited.
"Mother, can we take sister Tia back home? She smells nice. Please, can we?" Liora started to pester Eleanor with a puppy face.
"She smells nice?" Eleanor was confused. Kneeling down, she took a moment to smell Tia.
Instantly, her eyes widened in surprise and shock. After a brief moment of trance, she smiled like a predator.
Tia's body jolted as he felt her smile sending chills down his spine.
'Why is she staring at me like that?' Tia gulped internally.
"Sister, you've hidden her well. It's no wonder you stayed away from the family. Can I have her?" Eleanor asked, still grinning, without looking at Sera.
"What do you think?" Sera responded, her voice carrying a faint hint of killing intent.
Eleanor lifted her head to look at Sera, who was staring down at her with an ice-cold gaze. Fear gripped Eleanor's heart.
"No. Tia is my sister. You can't take her," Vina yelled, pulling Tia behind her, as if shielding her, and glaring at Eleanor and Liora.
Eleanor exhaled a deep sigh as she stood up, "Alright, I understand. I will give up. I will not fight my sister over this."
Tia heaved a sigh of relief internally.
"But mother...." Liora did not give up. She almost teared up.
