20: truth untold

North explained the situation calmly. Y/n sat silently as she processed the information. She wasn't as terrified as the thought she would be. Maybe it was the reassurance she got from the way the oldest Arenuma talked.

"You're quiet," North said. "Do you have any questions?"

"Tons, but I don't think they can all be answered right now," Y/n said.

She thought back to her and Yuno's meeting with the Wizard King. The doctor had determined that the reason why her mana and blood felt foreign was because of foreign mana within her veins. They could never determine what type of mana it was though other than the fact it was protecting her and Yuno.

The pieces slowly started to come together about the nature of her magic, but the origin of the so called curse was still a mystery.

"Don't worry, we'll make sure nothing bad happens," North assured. "We're going to keep researching the mana here."

"Not to brag, but our technology is way more advanced than the rest of the capital's cause we made it ourselves," Minami said with a smile.

"I put my trust in you guys," Y/n said.

North broke his usual stoic composure to give a rare smile. "It's getting late. You all stay here for the night."

Y/n didn't realize how dark it was until they left the study. Then again, her concept of time had been thrown off since she was unconscious most of the day. Nala didn't seem to be too eager to have to spend the night. And after the head maid began ridiculing her for wearing pants and a crop top, Y/n understood why.

"The daughter of Arenuma family needs to look prestigious! Or else you'll never find a husband!"

"My older brother's gay, Scarlet! Prestige don't mean shit to my family anymore!" Nala shouted back.

Nox sighed and Y/n nervously chuckled as she watched the two argue back and forth.

"This will go on for a while," Nox said. "Let me show you around the place."

House Arenuma did not give the vibe of a royal household. She expected most royals to use softer colors, but the colors of the decorations reminded Y/n of a volcano. There were bright yellows, oranges and fierce reds. It still managed to be aesthetically appealing.

Nox showed her the sauna which was considerably hotter than normal. Since the family specialized in magma magic, their father expected his children to be able to withstand intense heat. Afterwards, he led Y/n to the kitchen, the dining room, then the library.

He lastly took her to the gardens that his mother and youngest brother Nike worked on for years. They grew lotuses, the family flower. The gorgeous flowers grew in varying shades of reds and pinks. A specific area grew lotuses that were blues and purples.

"They're beautiful," Y/n said, bending down to view them closer.

"Thanks, but don't touch them," a new voice said, making the girl jump. A short boy with curly burgundy hair and dark freckles held a large watering can. His face and overalls were covered with dirt. Much like the other Arenumas, the boy had the same dark red eyes.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mess with them."

Nox threw an arm around the smaller boy's shoulder. "Hey Nike, still working hard on the garden?"

Nike pushed the boy off with a glare. "You especially aren't allowed in here. I made it very clear that only North could come in Mom and I's garden."

"So mean!" The older boy gripped his heart in mock hurt. "I was just showing Y/n around."
