The Noblesse's daughter

004

In any circumstances, I don't answer those kinds of questions.

'Who are you?'

'How are you?'

'Are you OK?'

And such.

Seriously, they're dumb questions.

I don't want anyone knows about me. I prefer the simple life that I got when dad disappeared eight centuries ago.

But this time, I need to answer the question.

And unfortunately, it was Frankenstein who answered the question.

"She's the only daughter of master."

Shock, surprise and unbelievable expression were written on the faces who heard the revelation.

Because no one expected that the noblesse had a child.

I didn't spare a glance at them. Just on my dog that is taking a peaceful nap.

"Wow, a wolf! Hey M-21, the girl has a wolf in her lap." The cheery guy said.

"Shut it, Tao! That's not the concern here." The man with long hair said.

"You're kidding, right?" The man beside Frankenstein said.

"I wish I was. But look at their resemblance." He answered.

Tao went in front of dad who's looking back and forth to who's speaking them towards me.

But before he closes the gap towards both of our faces, I grabbed my knife that was tucked at my boots and put it in between us.

"Take an inch towards me, and you'll regret it." I snarled.

"Yep," Tao concluded. "They share physical similarities." He went back to his place. "And she's scary." He whispered.

My dog noticed the tension. He sat up and growled.

"Man, the wolf has an attitude too." He added.

My dog's head snapped towards him and glare. He's scared of my dog.

"Anyway," Frankenstein interrupted. "That's not the reason why she's here. The first time I saw here, I thought master wore feminine clothes to disguise."

Sure enough, I really looked like him. Except that my hair's long and a bit wavy. Unlike his' that was straight.

"So why is she here? And why she has a wolf with her? The weres might get angry with that." The boy asked again.

I already spoke before Frankenstein started. "First, this is my dog. Not a wolf. Second, being here is not my choice. They fetch me where I was hiding. Third, weres are out of topic here. My father's condition is the main issue here. And you all know about that."

The grandson of Gejutel was staring with mixed emotions. His jaw was hanging open.

"We didn't know you existed." The noble sitting beside Frankie said. "So I don't believe you are his daughter."

"For reference, just ask his grandfather and your current lord. I'm sure they will be surprised." I told him as I point my thumb towards the white-haired boy.

"And my dog is not 'it' or 'wolf'. He has a name, and that's Shiroki." I added. "Now, do you have questions?"

"Are you really his daughter? Cause you can be his sister, you know?" Tao asked.

What a curious mortal. I want to laugh, but I can't, unfortunately. Because it would look sarcastic.

"You're such an idiot, Tao. She already said to ask their Lord and Gejutel for information, and you're still asking that? Seriously, are you a dumbass right now?" M-21 said.

I threw my phone towards the mature noble sitting beside Frankie. "Call her."

After tapping the phone and few rings, Erga (Erga Kenesis D Raskreia) picked it up.

[Cassielle, what happened? Did something happen to you? Tell me, where are you? Gejutel and I will fetch you there immediately.] The worried voice of Raskreia sprang.

"Um, Lord, it's Karias." The noble answered.

[Karias? Why did you have her phone? Where is she?] She demanded.

All of them looked at me, except dad and Frankie.

"I'm here, Erga." I answered.

[Thank you. You're safe.] Judging from her voice, she looked relieved. But that's the start.

[WHY THE HELL YOU JUST CALL RIGHT NOW, CASS? I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME TIME TO TIME, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN THIS TIME!!]

Uh oh. That's the cue.

"I'm busy."

[BUSY?! BUSY OF WHAT? BY THE BLOODS SAKE, YOU JUST GAVE THIS THING AND EXPLAIN ITS USE THEN LEFT LIKE THAT? HOW DARE YOU?!]

"Look, I'm sorry--"

[No, I'll be there soon. And don't you dare leave again, or I'll have your father tie you to the bed.]

The call ended with a surprised gaze to me. At least they know I'm not lying. And I'm saved with fewer words.

I was about to walk towards the kitchen when they all stood up - the nobles, and dad.

"Where are you going, madam? The Lord told you not to leave." The girl said.

"I'm not. I'm hungry." I said.

"Then I will cook." She said, but Frankie stopped her.

"No, Seira. One of her domain in the household is the kitchen. Just let her."

I didn't listen to their conversation and head towards the kitchen. Good thing it's modern and complete with utensils and appliances.

I grabbed some vegetables and raw noodles to start cooking. I saw the two enhanced humans snooping. They're curious on what I will do. But it was just shiitake ramen.

"If you want some, don't just stand in there," I told them as I scoop for Shiro. He loves noodles over rice.

The two mortals went in and grabbed a bowl and stared at the ingredients.

"First, put some noodles. I don't care how many, then the side dishes, lastly the soup." I told them while trying to cool the ramen for Shiro.

As they grab the ladle, I call Shiro. "Shiro, come."

Shiro was just patiently waiting from the side for the food. He knows what to do.

Soon, all people left at the sitting room came in. They also serve themselves and sat at the table.

As soon as they took a sip, their eyes went wide.

"It's good!"

"Delicious!"

"It tastes better than Seira's!"

As that was said, Gejutel's grandson looked at Seira. But the girl didn't give any emotion away.

I'm worried about myself. A mouthful of scolding will be here anytime as soon as Eia and Gejutel arrive. That woman can be a mother if she's a bit older than me, I'm telling you. She won't stop nagging and talking unless I did something to appease her.

"WHERE IS CASSIELLE ELISE D. RAIZEL?"

And that's the sign.
