Chapter 40 The Great mountains II

Although Emma is annoyed and upset because of Kaile's thoughts, she still cannot bring herself to yell at her children, so instead she speaks softly but seriously, her eyes looking into Kaile's cannot be looked away from if you are one of her children, because you know if you do, all you'll be doing is disappointing her, something Kaile and Sophia do not want to do.

''It's not your fault, so many things were wrong about that entire situation, not to mention I have the ability to read people, that captain guy clearly was not right in his head, after he dematerialised then rematerialised, his personality was completely different.''

Emma subtly told Kaile that she believes it to be her fault, however Kaile failed to notice it, as she diverted his thought process fast enough, to thinking about why the captain changed from kind and understanding, to ruthless and impatient, Sophia on the other hand, picked up on Emma's sleight of hand working, however she could only stay silent and think about the whole situation again and again in her mind, trying to think of different solutions. 

Salia spoke up, immediately after Emma finished speaking, this is also the reason as to why Kaile was unable to properly process the words spoken by Emma just now, unlike Eleonor and Sophia.

''I know why.'' Salia said, her voice sounding more business woman-like, something she picked up from her father.

Everyone in the room looked towards her, so she continued.

''When I was on the carrier, I saw grandfath- the head butler, looking at information from the X country, from what I could see, the capital city has been destroyed by the spider calamities.''

''Spider calamity?'' Kaile asked, his voice was confused, Emma interrupted.

She began to tell some secrets, the same secrets are the reason her life is watched so closely by the government nowadays, and partly the reason as to why she is so ambitious. 

''Each country capital city, is situated on top of a calamity nest.''

Sophia and Kaile were shocked to hear this, their eyes went wide and their mouths opened a bit unintentionally. 

Eleonor just smiled a knowing smile.

''That's just stupid, what happens when it comes outside, will it not destroy the capital city, just like the X country?'' Kaile's voice was a bit angry, after all, he was living near one of those things all along, what if it broke out and..

Emma smiled wryly and said.

''It's not supposed to be able to come out, the government created a way to keep the calamity beasts in hibernation for a long time, only if something drastic happens will the calamities wake up.''

Kaile frowned, still not understanding, Sophia just listened from the side, and Salia seemed to know everything already.

''That still doesn't make sense, why can't they just do that, without putting the lives of so many people in danger?'' Kaile asked

Emma shook her head, and was about to respond but Salia beat her to it, bringing everyone in the room to look at her, instead of Emma.

''That's because the type of technology being used is related to psychic energy, the waves humans give off when sleeping, are used to keep the calamity in hibernation for an indefinite amount of time… At least that was the plan anyway.''

Curious, Sophia asked Salia.

''If that's the case then, why did the beast wake up then?''

''My gra- head butler mentioned to the captain as I overheard their conversation at that time, he said it's because of a shockwave that originated from your house?'' Salia said, she sounded sure, but towards the end her surety turned it into a question.

Everyone in the room from the Nuit family turned towards Eleonor.

Seeing this, a wry smile was plastered all over her face.

''See, I told you guys, it's good for the world, but not good for the living beings on it, that's also the reason as to why I didn't hesitate to give you most of my energy, I couldn't absorb, otherwise, I'm sure it wouldn't just be one beast waking up, but instead, all of them.''

''All of them?'' Sophia asked Eleonor in intrigue. 

Salia spoke before Eleonor could, her voice sounded confident.

''There isn't anymore than 6 of those walking calamities.'' Salia said with confidence.

In an understanding voice Emma said.

''6 for each country…''

Salia nodded her head in affirmation. 

Eleonor just shook her head at this, not allowing this misunderstanding to go on for any longer, she spoke out.

''6? When I looked around casually, I saw at least 1 hundred of those, big and small.'' Eleonor's words shocked everyone including Salia this time.

''No, no, no, did my father lie to me, no, that shouldn't be possible, I cannot see him lying to me, right?'' Salia sounded a bit deranged, of course she wasn't, it just came as a shock to her . After all the kind of father she has, if she told him to wear a superman costume to a meeting, there's a high likelihood the man would do it. Well, not like that would happen either, because he would do everything in his power to convince his daughter otherwise, after all he has a reputation to uphold, so to find out he lied to her, is something that's hard to accept, this shock forced her inner dilemma outwards, for everyone to hear.

''That's not the case, all the ones I found, were outside of the countries, some within the smaller surrounding countries, but the majority were in the wildlife areas, honestly I would be surprised if they were known about, however, the one's found by the big countries, are the strongest one's within this continent, that I am sure of.'' Eleonor said casually, calming down Salia at the same time.

Hearing all of this, Emma's eyes gleamed with ambition, as she remembered she and her family are not exactly normal anymore, after all, their only about 1% human, and that's only because they are of a hybrid race currently.

''Why don't we experiment with our new races, after all, what if more of those calamities wake up, then what will we do? What if we find ourselves in another perilous situation? What will we do? Will we put the lives of our family, in the hands of a mentally unstable carrier captain again?'' Emma said, trying to emphasise the importance of her words.

Unbeknownst to her, she didn't need to do that much, after all, just who doesn't want to manipulate the elements within her family, they all read novels on weekend gatherings after all.

''We should focus on our Ancient vampire inheritage first, because we all are one.'' Sophia said, making everyone nod with an understanding look.

Sophia looked towards Eleonor and asked with some expectation, lasing her eyes.

''You was really powerful before right?''

Eleonor nodded.

''Then, doesn't that mean you can just teach us everything?'' Hearing that, Eleonor smiled wryly then shook her head, she then spoke out, her voice laced with a bit of depression.
