Chapter 6 - Eunhyang

A blue haired lady in a beautiful black hanfu with a lion symbol on the back and a lion design is seen walking along the hallway of the mansion and stops in front of the room where Grey and his cousin are. The woman smile broadly as she places her hands on the doors handle. Gray inside the room senses the presence of another person.

"What the hell is this energy that am feeling?!" Grey self-talks as he is shocked by the intense and powerful energy being radiated by the woman who was outside. He looks at his cousin who is unfazed by the overwhelming energy.

"I wonder why she doesn't feel anything even if she is sleeping. Could it be because I have already started the development of my mana and enlightener core?" Gray self-talks to himself as he looks at his sleeping cousin.

Just then door opens and the woman is seen entering the room. Grey is terrified as the overwhelming energy intensifies as the woman enters.

"Who the hell is this person to be able to emit such overwhelming power?" Gray self-talks in fear as he is being crushed by the overwhelming pressure. The woman calmly walks up to where Gray and his cousin are. Gray steps in front of his cousin to protect her. The woman stops and stretches her hands towards the two. Gray closes his eyes in fear as the woman picks him up and holds him with her arms stretched forwards but then….

"Awww ~ you're so cute." The woman says pulling Gray close to her as her face brightens up to revel her beautiful face and long blue hair which flowed along her back and some on the left side of her face. Her actions surprises him since he thought the woman was there to kill him and his cousin.

"Your mommy is a big meany for hiding you away from me! "The woman says with a puffed checks as she stretches her arms and looks at Gray with a smile. Just then Gray's cousin wakes up due to all the noises.

"I wonder what kind of position this woman has with my mother since it sounds like she knows her well just like the patriarch's wife." Gray self-talks as the woman plays with iris.

The woman looks at Grays and without hesitation she puts Gray down and picks up Grays cousin up and holds her at a distance so as to see her better.

"Aunty Aunty!!" the girl says loudly smiling broadly with her arms stretched outwards.

"How is my little Iris doing? "The woman says looking at the girl with a smile. Iris, Gray's cousin, looks thrilled to see this woman. The woman pulls iris close to her in a tight motherly hug and then hold her in a cuddle position.

"Aunty!?" Gray is surprised at this new revelation.

"Wait, does this mean this woman is also my aunt." Gray self-talks.

"She couldn't be my father's sister since she had blue hair." Gray self-talks as he looks at the woman who is playing with Iris.

"The…only explanation is that she is the wife of my uncle, Hugo, or she is the wife of one of my father indirect brothers." Gray self-talks as the thought of the woman being the wife of his father's other siblings scares him since he knew that most of them hated his father and direct siblings since they had the privilege and were entitled with the right of becoming the leader of the clan.

The woman turns and looks at Gray who is deep in though and places iris next to him. This action brings Gray back to reality and he looks at the woman.

The woman moves closer as she crouches with her right arm resting on her right leg and her chin resting on the hand as she looks at Gray.

"You just like your father. It's so sad that you never got to see him. "The woman says almost sad.

"I want to grow so that you can be with my little snowy. "The woman says with a smile.

Just then footsteps can be seen as they approach the room Gray, Iris and the woman are in.

"Finally I found you, Eunhyang." A man can be heard from the door. Eunhyang ,Grays aunty , stands up straight and turns to look and there by the door is none other than Hugo Leonhard, wearing a black hanfu and just like the woman it has the symbol of a lion's head on the back ,and he is holding a silver haired boy with grey eyes who is no older than Gray. Hugo looks past Eunhyang and sees Gray and Iris.

"Looks like you already found Gray and Iris first." He says with a smile as he walks up to the woman then he gives her a kiss on the forehead.

"I told I would find them first before you honey." Eunhyang says with a childish smile.

"But do you think it was right for you to come here instead of first going to greet Lily who you haven't seen in a long time." Hugo says looking at his wife.

"I know I know, I should have gone to greet Sister Lily first but I really wanted to see my nephew really badly. Even though I love Lily a lot like a sister, I wanted to see Gray more." Eunhyang sighs as she responds to her husband.

"Okay, I know how you feel about it. But don't you think Eugene should interact and get to know his cousins well." Hugo says as he walks over to where Gray and Iris are.

"Your right, our little Eugene needs to know his cousins well for the sake of their future." Eunhyang says and picks her child from her husband's arms and takes him to here Gray and Iris are. Hugo doesn't protest at this but stands there.

"Wait honey, this won't do." Hugo says causing Eunhyang stops on her tracks and turns around to her husband.

"What's wrong Hugo?" Eunhyang asks looking surprised.

"Yeah, why did you make her stop all of a sudden?" Gray self-talks as he too is surprised at this.

"I doubt they would be comfortable in the crib." Hugo says looking at the crib where Gray and Iris.

"I will have some of the servants take the crib away and later on inform Raul about my decision." Hugo says looking at the crib and placing his hand on the edge of it.

"That's a wonderful idea. Let me go and call the servants so that they may do it right now." Eunhyang says with a smile, walking and then stands next to her husband.

"That will be good." Hugo says as he takes his son from Eunhyang and then she goes out of the room.

Minutes later, several male servants can be seen taking the crib out of the room as Eunhyang holds Eugene and Hugo holds both Gray and Iris. As they leave, Hugo places Gray and Iris on a pink, soft, fluffy carpet followed by Eunhyang who places Eugene next to Iris who is now between Gray and Eugene.

"Awww~ they look cute together." Eunhyang says looking as if she is going to explode seeing the three cousins together.

"Why don't we leave them alone and let them get to know each other?" Hugo says smiling at his wife comment about the kids.

"You're absolutely right. The kids need to know each other since…they might have only each other in the future." Eunhyang says with a smile but then there is a sense of sadness in her tone as she finishes.

"Let's go Eunhyang." Hugo says sounding more serious after hearing what Eunhyang said.

"Yes." Eunhyang responds while nodding her head as they start to leave the room.

Just as they leave the room and Hugo closes the door behind him, they are meet by Lily and Roxanna.

"Eunhyang!" Lily says in surprise looking at the couple.

"Lily!" Eunhyang says also in surprise as she starts to tear up as she sees her friend for the first time in a long time. Eunhyang instinctively runs to her Lily and hugs her tightly. Hugo and Roxanna smile on seeing this.

"I missed you so much Lily." Eunhyang says almost in tears as she lets go of her friend.

"I missed you too Eunhyang." Lily says placing her hand on her friends check cupping it.

"Hello Lily, hello Roxanna." Hugo says taking a few steps close to the two.

"Hello Hugo. It's nice to see you and Eunhyang." Roxanna says with a smile. Lily looks up and sees Hugo.

"Hello Hugo am glad to see you here." Lily says as Eunhyang she wipes a tear from her eye.

"Am just happy that you came together with Gray. It would have been great if it were both you and Julian who brought Gray but there is nothing we can do about it but continue to leave on and carry the legacy of my brother." Hugo says with a smile.

"Yes, it would have been great." Lily says in an almost low voice as she smiles.

"And speak about Gray where is Eugene?" Roxanna asks looking at Hugo. Eunhyang opens her eyes wide.

"He is with Gray and Iris in Iris's room." Eunhyang says pointing towards the door of the room.

The four go to the door and Hugo opens the door just a bit so that they can look inside. As they look at what the kids might be doing them faces show a shocked and surprised.

"What…what the hell!!" Roxanna says looking shocked, with Hugo silent in great shock.

"Im...impossible!!" Hugo says in an almost horrified voice.

"This is impossible. It can't be real!" Lily says in utmost shock with Eunhyang in silent shock as the door opens wider as Hugo lets go of the handle letting it open as the four stand there looking surprised.
