Chapter 743 Crimsondust
[Eon's POV: ]
"Haaaa.. the drama finally ends."
"Can you believe this? It's almost night as well."
I looked over at Rein and then, sighing once again, We walked inside the house.
'The talk between mom, Taika and dad went on for about an hour, then Anna woke up and there was a little break in all the things, which resumed soon later when the three of them, and us had to talk over this issue with everyone else in the house.'
Anna was extremely happy when she saw the new Taika, so much so that she was still playing with her in her room.
'She now had a new friend and playmate so she was going to be far more cheerful from now on.'
Taika loved her as well, so it was a well known fact among us just how good of a pair the two of them were.
They had been inseparable before, and after she has become such a pretty aunt for her, there is no way she is going to leave her alone even for a moment now.
'They are happily playing along with Zoe and Quin. And since she had planned the tea party for tomorrow anyway, everyone in the house was getting ready for this special event.'
Including out own friends, of course.
The ladies mostly, were extremely busy with everything right now.
Alf and princess Bell were helping everyone find a good dress for tomorrow, and yes they already knew a little about the drama that was going on all day today. They don't have enough information to talk about our personal matters.
And Quin that actually knows the situation, is smart enough to not let this information slip away, so she will keep these things to herself as well.
Everything on that side has been sorted and the tree of them have reached their own understandings so they will start their new lives from tomorrow with Taika officially becoming a part of this family as not just a familiar, but as a proper member.
"Haaa.. what are you making for dinner, darling?"
"Hmmm? Dinner? There's still a while left for that though. You hungry?"
"Nah.. I'm sleepy. I wanna eat and go sleep. Watching that anticlimactic drama was no fun."
"So you want something climatic now?"
I was smirking at her, and she looked at me with a warm smile.. then Tia spoke up out of nowhere.
"Ummm, hello? Lovebirds?"
She was tiny and fast so even though we saw her coming, she was like a butterfly on the waves of afternoon winds.
There was no natural way to stop her.
"Yes, Tia? What's up?"
"What's up to you, miss. I was told you were looking for me."
"Ah, yes. Ahem."
I certainly told Zoe to tell her I will be looking for her but I didn't think she would come to us right as we entered the house after some fresh air from the garden.
"It's nothing great. I just wanted to ask if you had some time later tonight."
"Later tonight? You mean late night?"
"Probably. It could be late, it could be early, it's uncertain.
You see, there's this special person that would be visiting tonight sometime.
I believe you will like meeting them."
"Hmm? Special person? Is it someone famous? And why would I.. anyway. Sure. If you think I would like meeting this person, then I can stay up late.
After all the rest today, I'm not that tired anyway."
"Nice. Then, that would be-"
There was nothing more I wanted to say so I was about to say my goodbyes but Rein squeezed my hand hard and smiled at Titania.
lightsnοvεl "So, have you picked up a dress for tomorrow's party Tia?"
"Hmm? No.. I'm still confused if I should be in this form or in my other form for the party. it's difficult to decide on my own so I was thinking about just that."
She was a tiny fairy with pretty red hair and had attractive eyes and, in her bigger form, she was especially attractive even for a fairy.
'It was obvious from her looks that she was a royalty, and she was also a unique one among them, so her stardust was special as well.'

============
Tia was a battle mage, someone that studies magic with the sole purpose of using it in direct combat something perfect for her unique dust abilities that not only enchanted her physical powers, but also works as a natural buff that constantly enchanted her strength, speed, and stamina during combat.
'She was better at magic combat than even Alf sometimes, but it was expected from someone who has almost always been fighting with external factors.'
We knew pretty well her life has not been the best.
She has faced many challenges throughout her life, and the fact that she has crossed them all and still stands with us with that cheerful look every day, makes her one of the strongest people we know.
"If you can't choose which form you should be in, then why not just wear a good Mana dress that can change shape and size?"
"Something like that exist?"
Titania was stunned for a moment when she heard Rein talk about that special kind of dress.
We were talking about a dress that could become as small as her tiny form and change with her when she transforms into her greater form.
It wasn't the same as the Mana dresses that can change the texture and colors, this was turning the entire dress from a dall clothing to a full sized human clothing.
It was obviously a crazy sounding thing for her, but for the people of this house, this wasn't that new of a concept.
"Hehe, why don't you come with me, Tia? Let me show you around our dressing room."
"But I am just coming back from the dressing room. There was nothing-"
"Hahaha, no dear. I'm obviously talking about a different dressing room from the one Zoe and the others are at.
Come, you will see."
There were obviously more than one dressing rooms in this grand house, six big ones to be precise. And there were six small ones that belonged to the ladies of this house.
'Rein had one all for herself filled with the most fascinating kind of things that all the other ladies uses occasionally,'
There were some special dresses there that could not only change the texture and color but also size and all the things about itself.
'We primarily made them for Ast and Taika since they attended Anna's tea parties occasionally, but those things were already becoming famous among the fairy nobility thanks to Ast.'
They were difficult things to make and required high material and resource cost, so mass producing those things was out of the question.. but we were certainly thinking about selling some special pieces in the auction.
They would make a fabulous product for those who could afford it.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
'And since they are made individually with the fashion sense of some of the most knowledgeable ladies of high society, they were impeccable.'
So, Tia will love at least one of the dresses in that room.
"Then if you would please excuse us, darling."
"I will be making the dinner, a little special something for everyone, so don't be late."
Smiling at her and bowing back at the two, I took a step back.
"I would never. Certainly not for 'something special'. Haha."
Ast could smell something weird was being hinted here, but she shook off that feeling.
It wasn't important for her at the moment.
The dress and the tea party mattered for her more.
Taika would be there too, so this drama loving friend of ours was looking forward to seeing Taika again tomorrow. And mom and other ladies would be there as well so she was even more excited for this 'tea party'.
"See you later, darling."
"Take care, Lord Eon."
"You two as well."
Bidding them farewell, I walked to the right towereds my next destination— the kitchen.
There was some time left for the dinner so preparations should be ongoing at the moment.
The people in the kitchen would be happy to know I would be making something special for everyone, and since they were present there, they would also be part of that everyone.
There was this thing on my mind-
"Eon."
"Hmm? Dad?"
I was in the hall and after leaving Rein and Tia, I was talking towards the kitchen. However, right as I was about to pass through the area separating the dining room and the kitchen, dad called me from behind and I looked back.
"Got a moment?"
He was standing there, with the same dark expression he had when the elders were talking with them earlier.
"Yes.. "
This whole thing has been difficult for him for many reasons.
'Taika was understanding and loved him, they went through some clear crazy stuff back in that dungeon together that changed many things between them.. their lives could have been in danger but things didn't become worse, and ultimately, he was only inflicted with a difficult curse.'
It was one of the rare kinds of curses from a shadow species and would have been impossible to cure had we not known of the 33 Divine cures of Eir.
'The story they told us was quite something, a little weird, and fascinating for some of us, but it undoubtedly contained a plethora of emotions.'
They went through many things together that brought them closer.
And now that the things had come to this point where even mom had accepted
Taika and her sincere heart, he did not know what he was supposed to do with this whole thing.
I already knew he would be confused and lost.. so it was good that he was asking me for a moment himself.
Now that we have time, I can help him share this burden a little bit.
