I will strive beyond this cursed bloodline!

Chapter 47: ...Papa?

After exchanging contact information once again, both girls left in their own way. Elizabeth felt pleased when she saw the new photos with her extra new friend... Chloe convinced her it was all right that they believed she was her powered persona, and Elizabeth felt relieved.

And Chloe likewise didn't find a problem with Elizabeth's powered persona, she even was quite happy that they thought of [The Shadow Empress] as her powered persona, it seems that the shy girl wanted to be like her...And so, she encouraged her to be herself in that new form. That was somewhat weird, but she was settling into the mindset that most powereds had weird quirks around themselves. Perhaps it had to do with the mana suffusing their soul and leaking into their minds or something.

She planned to ask Alexanders or Alexa one of these days since they appeared to be knowledgeable, especially with their experience of living inside a soulscape... So they ought to be closer to mana than anything else, besides... She wasn't quite sure what to make of them both.

How could Alexanders leave on vacation? Wasn't he part of her soulscape? Or was he a foreign entity?

And if he was one. How did he end up there? So many questions and so few people to ask them...

She wasn't sure why it never came around that when she was talking with her mother...She ought to bring that one of these days, for now...She was more focused on other, more immediate things.

Like what was she supposed to do for her powered assignment? Both she and Chloe had decided that Chloe would accept the offer from [The Tribunal] the black-haired girl decided to see that through and find out why they wanted Elizabeth in their midst...

She of course would not confirm nor deny their questions about her true identity... Elizabeth wasn't comfortable with that, but she didn't have any right to stop her, and besides...[The Tribunal] ought to be a good place to learn about her power and to further her training.

So if she wasn't on the list of possible people to rise in grade, that practice would serve her quite well...And with some luck...They would offer her one of those fancy suits that could dress her in a pinch...Having to put on contacts, a wig, makeup, and everything...Yeah, she didn't envy the poor girl.

So while thinking of her perhaps 'unfair' advantages over the other powereds she arrived at her dorms, it seemed that there was a visitor in the place since some of the girls she passed by were speaking of a 'Handsome university student' and so on. Did someone's older brother come by?

If so, that poor girl would suffer, since having the influence to manage to get inside would surely give her a backlash in class. Poor girl. She couldn't help but smirk to herself at the thought of someone else suffering. At least Mother had materialized her teleportation spell inside the hallways of the dorms.

"I'm back Rossie." Said the blonde girl while entering their shared apartment. With all the photos she took with Chloe, it ought to be obvious that her girlfriend would already be at home.

She soon enough found evidence that someone else was with her since she didn't get greeted by a tackle/hug from the pink-haired girl.

That and a "Why didn't you tell me we would have more visitors!" A complaint by the pink-haired girl. Wait what?

"I couldn't prepare dinner and had to rush something quick!" Added her pink-haired friend. Bringing confusion to the poor blonde girl.

Wasn't the visitor a university student? She didn't have any acquaintances at University...

"It's no problem lass. I'm sure it is a fine dinner fit for a king." Said a suave voice coming from inside their shared living area.

Sure enough, she found herself looking at a tall black-haired man with blue sky eyes. He was dressed in what one could only refer to as stylish but not over the top. A simple pair of black jeans with a blue polo shirt, and a black leathery coat was sitting on the back of the couch.

"Long time no see Eli." And a somewhat tired pair of eyes that didn't betray a strong light of determination.

"Papa!" It was her father, so she, after seeing his face, ran straight towards him and jumped towards his chest to give him the greatest hugs of all time!

What? She was a daddy's girl... It surely didn't have anything to do with the fact that her father was the one to pamper her the most, to always get her the highest-end bedding and the most advanced plushies made in the world...

She wouldn't doubt if someone told her that her father was funding the research to make the ultimate shark plushy either...
