William Lynford

"Sir, your grandfather has arrived." Said KI. "HuHH?!! Grandpa Einhart has arrived??!" shouted Elijah.

"What can't I come to my granddaughter's home and you can? Since when you held more importance to me? Right KI." Said Grandpa Einhart. "Sir Einhart once said that if she had to rank between Grandfather Einhart and Sir Elijah. Grandfather Einhart ranks higher than Sir Elijah," said KI.

"See I'm more superior than you and who are these guests." Said Grandpa Einhart as he enters the dining area.

"Good Morning Grandfather." Greeted Xyleria. "These guests are going to be your granddaughter's family at the moment." Said Elijah as he pulls a chair for Grandpa Einhart.

"What? I am her family when did she want to have another family. Leria you said that I was going to be your only family until you die." Said Grandpa Einhart.

"Oh! Right. They are temporarily staying with me now until some things are settled down." Said Xyleria while serving her Grandfather some porridge.

"That's great." Said Grandpa as he starts eating the food his granddaughter had prepared.

"What's great?" questioned Elijah.

"My precious granddaughter I have found a suitable spouse for you!" said Grandpa Einhart.

*Thunder sound*

"WHAT??! A SPOUSE??! Who?" shouted Elijah. Even Xyleria is shocked at her grandfather's announcement.

"Oh, right he actually arrived with me just now and kept him waiting outside. KI open the door for my guest." Said Grandpa Einhart. Xyleria, Elijah, Ryuu, and Sora when out to see the so-called fiancé for Xyleria.

When the door opened a man stepped in. Around Elijah's height of 188cm, a fit body, White-haired, wearing a suit. The man carried a child with him.

"Hello, nice to meet you my name is William Lynford. This is Liam Lynford" said William as he introduces himself and the boy he is carrying.

The little boy looks like William Lynford but has dark blue eyes compared to William Lynford's black eyes.

"Liam, introduce yourself," said William Lynford as he puts him down. "Hello, my name is Liam Lynford. I am 5 this year. Nice to meet you too." Said Liam Lynford as he stares at Xyleria and walks towards her and hugs her left leg.

Why is a child staring at me? Did I forget something again? As Xyleria looks at Elijah signaling him to help her understand what is happening.

Sora Tachibana suddenly felt as though his mom's attention was going to be rob. And walks toward Xyleria and hugs her right leg.

"Oh my… my granddaughter sure is popular among the children," said Grandpa Einhart.

6 years ago…

"Mission complete we have saved all the children from human trafficking and arrested suspects." Said X. "Well done, ETA approximately 10 minutes for arriving planes." Said the radioman.

"X, you should stay hidden away for a while, it seems like the children fear you. Your eyes are still red" Said one of X's teammates. "Ok, I understand." Said Xyleria as she walks toward a tent.

Back to present….

'Sure popular… only these two kids are not afraid of me.' as Xyleria thought to herself.

'Spouse? Fiancé? Right… This Ms. Einhart is not my wife. There are a few differences between my wife and Ms. Einhart.' as Ryuu kept his thought to himself as he tries to smile.

While Xyleria tries to get the children off her legs, William Lynford looks at Ryuu Tachibana thinking 'So this is the guy that is living with my Xylena, not a chance am I going to let you guys grow a bond with her.

"OK everyone let's all sit down we can talk after breakfast." Said Grandpa Einhart.

As everyone sat down at the dining table, on the left of Xyleria sat Liam Lynford with William Lynford, while on her right sat Sora Tachibana with his dad Ryuu Tachibana. "Mom, your pancakes are delicious!" said Sora Tachibana as he wants Xyleria attention on him only. "Is it? Thanks. Have some milk too." Said Xyleria as she fills Sora Tachibana cup with milk. "M... Mo… mom can you feed me some pancake. It's difficult for me to reach for the utensil" said Liam as he looks at Xyleria while showing his small hands. "Ok, here. I will also help you cut your pancake so you won't have difficulties eating. Errr…how about you sit on my lap I think the table is too tall for you." Said Xyleria as she lifts Liam Lynford on her lap.

Sora was on the verge of crying as he saw his mom carry another child on her lap instead of him. Ryuu Tachibana saw this and felt bad for his son and patted his head.

All this while Xyleria's head is spinning, when did I become a mother to another child. I already got one calling me mom yesterday, today another one called me mom suddenly. Don't tell me tomorrow there will be another one?

As breakfast ended, they went to the living room to get something sorted, while the maid who arrived started cleaning up.

When Xyleria sat down, Sora Tachibana ran up and sat on Xyleria's lap. Xyleria was a bit stun by the sudden impact and just patted Sora Tachibana's head. When Sora Tachibana felt his mom was patting his head and moved him to a more comfortable position, he forgot all the sadness he felt at breakfast.

"Can my dear Grandpa explain what is happening?" said Xyleria while looking at her Grandpa in contempt. "Err hmm… Well, I found you your future husband and William Lynford agrees to marry you. Though he has a child, there isn't anything bad about it." Said Grandpa Einhart nervously, gripping his walking stick tightly while looking away not wanting to face his granddaughter's judgment.

"Grandpa how could you set my marriage without me knowing!" said Xyleria.

"Mom you don't like me?" said Liam Lynford as tears welled up.

"huhh…. No, no wait… errr… you… of course I like you. Mhm." Said Xyleria trying to comfort the child, keeping a straight face.

"Really?" Liam Lynford questioned Xyleria.

"Yes. Err… come here sit beside me" said Xyleria while sweating away.

Silence engulfs the living room.

Xyleria was at a loss of what she needs to ask and what are the next step and the next. William Lynford stood up and said "You must be at a loss at what is happening. You don't need to rush to a conclusion, during this time you can get to know me and your son then after that you can decide."

Wait, my son? When did I have a so- "Xyleria! When did you have a child with him?!" shouted Elijah and Grandpa Einhart. Shocked as they may, even Xyleria herself has no clue. Xyleria felt like she was thrown down a spiral, not understanding what was going on anymore. Did she lose her virginity without knowing? When did she? 5 years ago? But 5 years ago, she doesn't remember meeting William Lynford.

Xylena must be confused, Liam was not born through her after all. He was a test tube baby that consists of his DNA and Xylena DNA through an experiment conducted by the same mad scientist. He never thought that the doctor survived until he found out about an experiment that is being conducted in City J.

Through lab logs, he found out that his genes and Xylena genes were used to create a medium for the doctor to take over when it grows up. He deleted all data pertaining to the genes and found a child in a tank. The child had Xylena eyes and his hair, facial features, luckily the child does not seem to possess any power.

The doctor must have given up since the child incapable of the tests. People who were forced to do the experiment to gain supernatural power usually die, if they managed to survive at most, they don't live past 30 years old according to tests done on a lab rat.

When he saw the baby, it felt like he and Xylena had a child, which made him happy since he been waiting for the time where he and Xylena reunite again through her Grandfather. She promised to be with him forever even after she helped him escape the facility to contact her grandfather. This story will be continued another time.

Xyleria decided to take a sip of tea and remain silent. "Now there is a good reason for you to marry him all the more!" said Grandpa Einhart while smiling. Amazed at what kind of drama is brewing Elijah just claps.
