Meeting Part 1
[Amanda Lux Pov]
Oh, I can't wait to meet her again after so long. She was always so busy with her work, that we barely talked. Now that she also has a child, she has to take some time off to take care of her.
Maybe we can set up a marriage between our children. Ah, calling Frederica family would be a sight to see. She's always such a strong and independent woman.
[Alex Lux Pov]
After 7 months off being born, I figure out the missing component. The element needs to be present in the mana. That means I need to be next to a source of fire to absorb pyro mana. To help progress in unlocking the element.
This was figured out when I was close to a candle. But how am I going to find a source of fire when I'm a child. Got to find a different element to unlock. Just need to figure out which one.
My mother seems to have entered my room. She seems a bit excited which is a bit unusual as she's always so calm and collected.
-My dear Alex, mommy is going to take you somewhere special. Are you excited to go on your first outing- my mother said with a small but noticeable smile.
Of course, being the adorable thing I said
-goo- I said with a small smile as well.
What did you I was gonna say? I will go with my beautiful mother, no I can't speak yet even if I can.
-Mommy and you are gonna visit an old friend of mommy when she was young. They also have a child who's one month younger than you. You better be on your best behavior you hear me.- said, my mother
So dad won't be coming with us. Strange he seems to be the overprotective type, was I wrong. But who cares, I wonder who I will be meeting.

Alex just shrugged off the missing Father so easily. What Alex doesn't know is the pure fact that his mother threatens his Father to not interfere. No one will ever know only his father shall. Some say if you listen closely you can hear the cries of a man. They say even men can be brought to despair.
Alex and his Mother Amanda left the house a few minutes later. Leaving the husband behind. They got into a carriage and left to the Gunnhildr estate.
10 minutes have passed since the carriage left the estate of lux. In the distance, you can see a mansion with a huge training ground meant to train strong warriors. It makes sense for them to have such a thing as they are an ancient Knight family. The carriage slows down as it was near the entrance of the Gunnhildr estate.
Amanda gave the man driving the carriage some mora. After that, she went toward the estate with little Alex in her hands. The gate was already open at this time of day as a letter was sent beforehand. Arriving at the front door she was prepared to knock but it was open no other than then Frederica herself.
It was a surprise to see her friend open the door as she usually waits for her to come to her office. She hurried Amanda into her home for some reason.
[Amanda Pov]
Oh, dear what's the big hurry. Why is she like this all of a sudden? Perhaps she misses me from all the time we have been apart.
-What the rush. Going so fast, this is unlike you Frederica- I said with a hint of worry
-I need help with my child. I don't know why but she just keeps on crying. Seamus had to go to the church for an emergency and I don't know what's wrong with her.- Frederica said in a rush.

Frederica dragged Amanda to a place with the sound of a crying child. When they got in they could see a child at the age of seven months crying in her crib. The child has gold blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. With chubby little cheeks just like our dear Alex.
As they have not grown up they still have baby fat on them. The child cried louder as time went on. She as a child craved attention. What kind of child doesn't want attention from others. Alex is just an exception.
[Alex Pov]
We finally arrived at the place my mother wanted to go to. I still don't know where we're going as I was not informed. We seem to have arrived at an estate as big as our own. I wonder who lives here as it should be another noble family. But the question is which one.
"When my mother went to the door some lady open it before my mother can. and started dragging her into the house. Like my god, there's a baby in her hands so mind your hands. This lady does not know how to treat a baby."
We finally arrived at a room with the sound of a child wailing in it. We want in the room and what awaited me was a child crying. But let's ignore that, the child is so adorable. Maybe not at my level yet but still nevertheless adorable. The child has Golden blond hair and gray-blue eyes. Wait a second I know who that is.
It is Jean Gunnhiler in the flesh as a baby. That's crying her lungs out for attention. It would seem that the future Great acting Grand Master is still not grown up yet it seems.
[Amanda Pov]
-Amanda you got to help me with this. I just can't figure out what's wrong. She has been crying ever since Seamus left for the church.- Said Frederica
-Let me see what's wrong with this little one. She seems to be fed and she doesn't need a diaper change so I don't really understand. Do you want me to put Alex in there to see what's wrong as they say babies know best? Plus my dear Alex is very mature.- I said with pride.
-Please just do it. My eardrums are going to rupture at this point. She has been crying for 5 hours.- said Frederica with desperation for the sound to stop.
[No one pov]
When Amanda put Alex in the crib. Jean stopped crying just for a moment before crying again. The next thing Alex did was surprise, Amanda and Frederica. He started patting her head like an older brother. Jean stop crying after the patting and started to fall asleep. As she got sleeper she started to lean into Alex as that's where the warmth was coming from. Even after jean fell asleep Alex still patted her head. Soon after Alex also fell asleep. By the sheer willpower of protecting something precious, he hugs jean in his embrace.
