30 Lorenz Vermillon
The three arrived at the doors of a colossal mansion...
Well... it would be more correct to describe it as a majestic palace of golden and reddish colours... with colossal gardens and installations of all kinds, houses, training areas, theaters ... all majestically adorned with symbols and sculptures of the Phoenix Bird.
A palace so huge and majestic, that made the imposing mansion of Sarah in Lardana, it seemed what it really is ... A humble vacation cottage.
They were in front of the main headquarters of the Vermillon family
A palace so huge and majestic, that made the imposing mansion of Sarah Lardana look like what it really is ... A humble vacation cottage.
They were in front of the main headquarters of the Vermillon family.
Wow, I've seen other residences of the members of the 12 families before arriving here, they were all huge, but ... this is ..." Atomsk said surprised, as if he were a boy from town who was coming to the big city for the first time and he marveled at his immensity (although technically that is what was happening).
"Yes, as I told you, the Vermillon family is one of the richest families in the world despite being of the Animal type ... and since thousands of years ago we have liked to show it to the world ... that is why our headquarters is so... Showy" Said Sarah a little embarrassed.
[No wonder she feels somewhat embarrassed
More considering how simple and sober is her way of dressing and acting]
"Atomsk, now we will go inside.
While I will go to talk with my father about you and your adoption, you and Sebastian will wait in my room.
Try not to talk to anyone until I arrive ... but above all, be prepared.
I don't think that for my father's side would put too many inconveniences, but the eldes will do it, especially my uncle...
As I had told you during the trip, despite being a family of the Phoenix we are plagued by vultures" Sarah said seriously while holding Atomsk by the hand.
…
The three entered the territory of the Vermillon family.
Seeing Sarah, nobody cut her off, everyone greeted her ...
Some did it with respect, others with kindness, others with affection ... another did it for the opposite.
However, everyone greeted her, she was the only daughter of the head of the family, it was what they had to do.
However, everyone looked curiously at the child who accompanied her
How could they not do it?
They had never seen a person with that skin color or hair color, besides that child had a beautiful face and physical complexion.
There were not a few girls who blushed when they saw him.
If Sarah hadn't been by his side, surely many of those girls would have approached him like bees to honey ... or like flies to shit.
After touring the great corridors of the palace, Sarah said goodbye to Atomsk and Sebastian in front of the door of her room.
Once they both went inside, she went to her father's office, where she was most likely to meet him.
The guards he encountered did not give him any trouble, and once he reached the door of his office, announced his arrival and entered the office.
Inside the huge and majestic impeccably decorated office, there was only one person.
He was a middle-aged man, tall, robust, attractive, and impeccably dressed.
He had red eyes and a long hair of the same color, which reached his waist...
The resemblance to Sarah was impressive...
Evidently it was her father and head of the Vermillon family ...
Lorenz Vermillon.
…
"Hello father, I'm back" Said Sarah formally waving
"Hello daughter, have the holidays been good? How are James and Jehko?" Lorenz said as he watched his daughter, wearing sports clothes, as always
"Yes, they are so animated and energetic, as always" Sarah said with some joy in the expression
Sarah tried to get the issue about adopting Atomsk in a subtle way, but before she could direct the conversation as she would have liked...
"Who is the strange boy who accompanied you?" Lorenz said dryly.
Sarah without changing the tone of the conversation or getting upset replied "I see that the news in this family travel fast… it seems that they fly"
"Of course, in this family we all have wings..." Lorenz said trying to joke ... without much success "Tell me who is he? Is he the reason you came to see me so quickly?" Lorenz said curiously and bitterly.
"He's a very, very special orphan boy named Atomsk D. Avery, which I found during my vacation" Sarah said, not giving all the information about her beloved little brother to get her father intrigued.
"Oh, what's so special about that boy?" Lorenz asked, which had been really intrigued. It is not normal for his daughter to praise other young people, as she considered them lazy and soft.
Sarah, seeing that she had achieved her goal, continued explaining "He is a 9-year-old boy, I can assure that, because was me and Sebastian who did the Baptism to him ...
And at that moment we could see an unusual event for both "Sarah said to get more intrigue in his father.
"Oh what happened?" Lorenz replied, which was really intrigued.
"He was absorbing Sebastian's Inner energy for minutes and after that he started convulsing and trembling with pain, his entire body shone due to Ineer energy ... then all the light traveled from his body to his forehead, forming his Stigma ... A Stigma never seen before" Said Sarah, continuing with the strategy of causing curiosity to her father once more
"What a strange event ... is it a new AVATAR?" Said Lorenz.
It is not uncommon to see new AVATAR every year, it is very normal that mutations happen that give rise to new AVATAR with different characteristics, however, the STIGMAS remained similar ... and of course he had never heard of such a phenomenon happening during a Baptism.
"Not only is it a STIGMA never seen before and an AVATAR never before seen... Atomsk also has a type of AVATAR never before seen, a very powerful AVATAR with unlimited possibilities... And that also has affinity with the smithy and has space properties" Said Sarah, revealing important information.
Lorenz step from the intrigue to the absolute interest "Tell me more about that boy, do not skip a detail"
Sarah, happy with her father's expression, began to narrate how she meet Atomsk, about the death of his grandfather and all the events that occurred in the mansion, the big fight with the three idiots of the town, how they discovered their elemental affinity…
She also insisted a lot on how good he was fighting, his intelligence, good character and that he was able to follow her in the training.
But above all, his great cultivation speed, since in less than a month he had managed to reach the 8th rank without using inner energy pills ...
"Intriguing and sensational ... but, tell me daughter ... Does not it really seem weird?" James said excited and worried at the same time.
Sarah frowned and asked "What's weird?"
"Everything, a boy with a strange appearance and uncertain origin, incredibly intelligent and strong, who casually awakens an impressive AVATAR never before seen ...
It's too suspicious, it's as if that grandfather, if he exists, had been hiding him from the world and hiding the world from him for some reason... and possibly is for his AVATAR" James said as he got up from his chair to reach a book about AVATARs
Sarah did not say anything, since she knew that he was just thinking while reading ... she was waiting for his decision.
"Anyway, I guess we do not know what your true story is, and we may not get to know it ...
However, one thing is for sure, that guy has a great talent and ican be extremely beneficial for the Vermillon family.
We don't know what can be the negative implications of him joining us, but the positive ones ... are more than evident and conclusive.
You have done a great job daughter for bringing him here, we will look for a good accommodation in the Side-Family as an honour guest "Lorenz said with great satisfaction.
How could he not be happy? He has just recruited a super genius who in the future will be able to create sapace innert artifacts, something within the reach of few families... in the history of the Vermillon family, despite its great economic power… they had never managed to recruit anyone.
Sarah took a breath and said as she looked at her cheerful father "Father just wanted to tell you about this too ... I haven't brought Atomsk as honour guest, I have brought him to be my younger brother"
"What did you say, Sarah? Little brother?" Said Lorenz, who did not understand very well what Sarah was trying to say.
"That's what I said, I want he to be officially my little brother, I just do not want Atomsk to end up being exploited or abused by the rest of the family for being in an unequal position.
I also want him to have outside the family all the privileges of being an active part of the Vermillon family, like ... entering the Royal Academy.
To fulfill all these objectives there is no better way to do Atomsk my adoptive brother" Said Sarah trying to convince her father
"You talk as if the Vermillon family were an evil entity ...
Why would we treat badly someone who could benefit us so much in the future?
In addition, if the problem is to enter the Royal Academy can be solved with a good letter of recommendation "said Lorenz trying to dissuade his daughter
"Father, are you still trying to avoid seeing reality?
Do you really think that Uncle Lauren will not try to do something to Atomsk, being me who has brought him to the family?
Father, face the reality "Said Sarah quite angry
Lorenz sighed distressed face "Daughter ...
Your uncle…
You already know the rules of this family...
What you ask is ... "Lorenz said trying to find the right words
However, at that moment, Sarah cut him short "FATHER ...
Daddy…
Tell me, when was the last time I asked you something? "Sarah said as she looked sadly at the floor
Lorenz looked at his daughter, sighed, after a few seconds, dragged the chair off his desk, and sat down next to her.
"I think that since the day your mother died, you had not asked for anything ...
In fact, I think that day was when you stopped calling me daddy..."
…
There was a long silence from both of them until Lorenz broke it.
"If it's what you really want, I give you my permission, but ...
It is a decision that not only depends on me, the rest of the family elders have to decide it together...
You already know "Lorenz said while stroking the head of his daughter with some fear.
"I know, but can I count with your support?" Sarah asked as she looked into his eyes.
"Yes, daughter, you have my support ..." Lorenz said as he put his chair back on the desk
"Okay, I guess the meeting will be in the auditorium in an hour ...
I'll bring Atomsk to the room when you let us know...
I'll be in my room in the meantime" Said Sarah, who had risen from her chair and was heading outside the office.
"Yes, I will send a maid to warn you ...
However, before that…
Tell me, daughter
Do you feel so much love for that child as to look for so many problems with the elders? "Lorenz said trying to understand his daughter.
...
"Yes father ...
It's like the little brother I never had" Said Sarah as she left the office
…
"Daughter…
I'm so sorry…
Forgive me for not being a better father" Lorenz said defeated in the chair of his empty office, while looking towards the ceiling.
