Part 12
A cloud of water vapor poured out of the bathroom behind the stairs.
Nia hummed a tune, and walked out from the shadow of the stairwell with Loulou in her arms, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Loulou was already asleep in the lovely pajamas trimmed with lace, and the characteristic of taking a hot shower for too long was revealed from the slightly flushed cheeks.
That lovely pajamas full of girlish feeling may be the old clothes that Nia wore in the past.
"If you think that it is the clothes that the lady boss bought back for herself, you are wrong, it is actually... Pff!"
Before Gurley's revelation was finished, Nia lifted her foot and kicked him in the stomach without hesitation. He squatted on the ground holding his sunken stomach on the spot.
"Keep talking!" After dealing with Gurley, Nia passed Loulou, who had fainted in the bathroom, to Aker, "Come and hug her."
Aker hugged his younger sister, Loulou's lovely sleeping face turned to his side unconsciously.
At such a close distance, Aker could even feel Loulou's breath blowing on his neck.
The faint fragrance of shampoo or shower gel constantly sounded the alarm in Aker's mind.
He tried his best to look away and avoid looking directly at Loulou's fair, smooth skin.
While Aker was struggling in her heart, Nia hugged Lynn who had also passed out.
She was also wearing pajamas that seemed to be the same as Loulou. With slightly moist bangs attached to her reddish forehead, her moist lips exhaled lightly, revealing a mature charm different from Loulou.
Aker and Nia sent Loulou and Lynn back to the room on the second floor together, and the two of them probably wouldn't wake up tonight.
"Elder Sister Nia, where is the necklace Loulou wears on her neck? It's the one with a blue gem."
"You mean this." Nia took out the delicate necklace from the pocket of Loulou's pajamas. "It looks like a very precious thing. I was worried that it would be broken in the shower and I helped her take it off."
The tear-shaped blue gem shone like a star, as if water-blue liquid was flowing in it.
Aker took Loulou's necklace, returned to the first floor and gave it to Gurley, who had just said that he wanted to take a look at it.
Gurley took Loulou's necklace with both hands cautiously. He carefully and comprehensively examined it, and then placed the necklace on the bar. He put his finger on the surface of the aqua-blue gem and poured his magic power into it.
Suddenly, the sleeping gem burst into a dazzling aqua blue light. Gurley withdrew his finger immediately, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you alright?!"
Aker hurriedly supported Gurley, who was staggering back. He did not expect Gurley's tentative action to cause such a big reaction. It was obvious that Loulou had tried it so many times before, but there weren't any reactions.
"Aker, what is your surname?"
Gurley called Aker's name directly for the first time, and raised the question sternly.
"Surname?"
Aker has never heard of the so-called "surname". It was a term he had never heard of in his hometown, a border village.
Gurley looked at Aker, no longer as amiable as before. Although it was not cold enough, Aker could clearly feel an invisible gap between him and Gurley.
"There is no special place in our family. We have lived in that village for a long time." Although Gurley became wary of himself, Aker still hoped to explain it clearly to him, "As for my bracer and Loulou's necklace, they are just farewell gifts from my parents. If you know something that we don't know, and if that makes you misunderstand us, then I think I have the right to know whether it is something that can be said or cannot be said."
Now that Nia was sleeping with Loulou and Lynn in the room on the second floor, Aker must learn from the serious-faced Gurley what made him have to put away his smile. At least, what he didn't know didn't seem to be something that he should ignore.
Gurley's deep gaze seemed to have seen Aker through. Soon, the tense atmosphere around him disappeared gradually.
He sat down in front of the bar, pushed Loulou's necklace to the position where Aker had sat before, and signaled him to sit down.
Aker swallowed and sat back next to Gurley. Gurley picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass as usual, and the previous nervousness also disappeared with the wine in the glass.
"Do I look like a very scary and powerful person just now?"
"What……"
The originally tense nerves disappeared completely because of the question Gurley raised with a smile on his face.
"Actually, I just want to know what that your surname is. It is not that I have a hidden intention. But probably you may have not heard of this term in border villages like yours." Gurley explained to Aker with a casual tone, "The so-called Surname is simply the name given to some nobles by the emperor of the Bice Empire. Like the royal family of the imperial capital Augustus, their surname is Yelland, we call their family the Yelland family, the current third and fourth princesses are named Layla Yelland and Zelie Yelland. There are also some other families with given surnames in the nobility. This is the meaning of given surnames. It can be regarded as a part of the big families with special status among the nobles."
"It means that only nobles can have a surname, right? Then why did you ask me that kind of question just now? No matter how I look at it, my family still doesn't look like not a noble family. I might've believed it if you said that my family used to be a noble family hundred of years ago."
"There is such a possibility."
Gurley's tone didn't sound like he was joking.
"The reason I asked you that question was because your younger sister's necklace made me have to think in that direction. This necklace is not an ornament, nor is it a piece of ordinary magic equipment you know, but a magic weapon with greater symbolic significance. "
"This necklace... it is a weapon?"
