27 Chapter 27-The Crisis(Edited)

I had known about both of my sisters having hidden bloodlines, but they were not supposed to awaken them together. Unlike Clara, whose bloodline, though rare, has methods to awaken, it's different for others as we have no idea what bloodline the person might awaken.

Being a house of long history, there might be several bloodlines that we could awaken, some might even require a certain condition. In the game, Nora would awaken their family's commander bloodline, where she would have special abilities that will cause fear on a battlefield, plus she would also awaken their special sword moves too.

But it wasn't all that easy to awaken it, as she had to get special permission and an item from the historic world.

"What are historic worlds, you ask?"

"Some extremely powerful people might not be able to pass on their legacy, hence they make a certain subspace that can be entered. The person would have to pass the test designed, and he would be able to earn that person's power. There might be countless historical worlds spread around the world, especially after the great war 1000s of years ago. If you are lucky and stumble into it and gain the owner's recognition, you might go from a small chicken to a Phoenix. For the Ezraeil empire, they themselves own a historic world, where a person can enter once."

"In the game, didn't Nora's mother almost sacrifice herself to gain recognition?"

If my memory was right, then in the game, Nora's mother had to sacrifice her power to let Nora gain recognition, as Nora was unable to move. Entering inside, I came towards Nora, lying on the bed. She had changed a lot within these three years. Her face, which looked cute, was slowly changing into a beauty.

I could see that she was in pain. Her eyes were deeply closed, and she kept wriggling on the bed. Then I looked towards Elda. She had grown up a bit over the years too, losing a bit of her chubby cheeks, becoming to look cuter. Right now, she was lying on the bed, her silver hair spread on the bed, looking just like a sleeping fairy.

According to my memories, Elda had seemed to awaken a special bloodline relating to fairies itself, causing her to be extremely good at elemental control. In the game, the "protagonist" had to help her survive the bloodline while fighting in the historical world. It's how you earn both Nora's and Elda's love. But Elda only had awakened her bloodline at 15 years of age.

"Did my actions cause a change?"

I couldn't help but think that this was my fault, but it was no problem. Mom will just have to sacrifice herself more. But suddenly thinking of a pale-faced and hurt Grace, my heart contracts. My heart started to beat fast, and pain seemed to cover me.

"What's going on?"

"Why do I feel sad?"

Then I look towards both the girls lying on the bed who seemed to be in pain, and then memories start to flow inside me. The memories of a blonde-haired elder sister who was acting tough on the outside but was gentle on the inside, her smug face and her childish expression seemed to flow before me.

Suddenly a small silver-haired girl entered my mind, the girl who always stuck to me, the one who had just desired warmth in her life, all of it just seemed to flow through my mind.

'Ha...Hahaa...Haaaa'

I laugh, I laugh out loudly in my head. Of course, how could I be so stupid? While I was earning their affection, they were earning mine too.

Unknowingly I had come to accept this family of mine, and they had come to earn a position in my heart. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Suddenly, my hand was held. I opened my eyes and looked towards my mother; she still had her gentle smile.

"Don't worry, little Austy, your mother is here, nothing will happen to them."

But the trembling of her eyes and the look of fear were not easy to be hidden from me. Going closer, I gave her a hug. Right now I could only reach up to her breast, but still, I conveyed my feelings to her. She had responded by hugging me tighter, perhaps looking for support. Leaving the hug, I looked towards my sleeping sisters, and slowly determination started to flow within me.

"Nora, Elda, no matter what happens, I will protect you, no matter the cost."

After I took my oath, I suddenly felt my blood boil as if something that was hidden was awakening.

[Ding.....!]

[ During times of difficulty, you still choose to accept your true self and choose to move according to your justice.

•The bloodline laying dormant within you responds to your actions, they urge you to move forward and fulfill your desire.]

[Special quest activated:

•Help and save your sisters in awakening their bloodline

Reward: The awakening of your hidden bloodline.]

Reading through the information, I was dumbfounded. I knew that helping my sister was difficult, but difficulty SSS? Do you guys think I am going to war or something? But the awakening of my bloodline is indeed something I require. Over the three years, I had tried countless ways to awaken it but with no luck. Even the system's awakening serum's price was over the top.

Even when Richard thought of me cooking and left, all he gave me was a badge which had the picture of a trident and the sea. The only thing I could understand from it was that it belonged to the sea tribe.

All things considered, the awakening of my bloodline is indeed a huge plus, but it seems that it won't be easy. I take a look into my system's shop function.

'Looks like I need to start spending a lot of points.'

It was at this time three girls whom I had left in my room arrived. Entering the room, they quickly found out about the situation. Knowing what was happening, they quickly moved to comfort me. They had a good impression of my sisters as they didn't put up any arrogant faces.

"Mom, why don't we use the teleportation room to travel to the palace? The people there might know more about the bloodline awakening."

"I already contacted your uncle; they are prepping the transportation. We will leave in 5 minutes."

After that, we moved my sisters to a stretcher-like bed and were brought to the teleportation room. I let the girls stay back. Standing in the teleportation circle, after a few seconds, it started to light up. So I had to close my eyes. When I opened them again, we were in a much larger room.

Several mages were standing around us as we had landed. Several of the people who were on standby quickly started to move, checking upon Nora and Elda.
