Reborn As The Spirit King Chapter 7 Part5

Chapter 7 - At the capital (5)

Knock knock knock.

"I've brought the guest with me."

"Come in."

After hearing the soft voice respond from within the room, Jade and the siblings walked in. However, they did not show any signs of anxiety, because the person they were meeting were the siblings' grandmother. And, to Jade, there was nothing special about it.

Even if she was royalty, he had been with the siblings throughout his journey.

"Welcome."

Following the siblings, Jade saw a well-groomed beauty inside the room.

It was difficult to say that she was a grandmother, but Jade did not find it strange.

She was a half elf making her life many times longer than a normal human's.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Jade."

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well. Please, just call me Clara. I'm not a queen anymore, and I'm just here to see my grandchildren."

"Alright."

"You're an amazing summoner, just as I had heard. Especially…."

Clara's eyes looked towards Jade's shoulders.

Most people stared at Hwid who was in his arms, but she was different.

With slightly frightened eyes, Clara was staring at the location where Celestine and Elestra were.

-I don't think she can see us.

-But I'm sure she can still feel us. Her being half elf should somewhat allow her to.

"I'm not that amazing."

Ignoring the comments made by the spirits, Jade humbly responded back.

He didn't feel the need to reveal the extent of his true powers.

Of course, he would do his best to hide his powers rather than revealing them, but he felt that the amount they had seen thus far was adequate.

"I'm surprised. I don't mean to belittle humans in any way, but I had thought it would be difficult to compare with against elves when it came to spirits."

"Is it really to that extent?"

"Yes, you could be comparable to an elf - no, you might be more than even elves themselves."

Laney stared at Jade with a with a new look.

She had realized that Jade was powerful, but she didn't think her grandmother would be so surprised.

However, Laney didn't know that even Clara couldn't grasp the true extent of Jade's power.

"I can't compare to an elf."

"It's not good to be too humble, you know. Shall we sit down first?"

Clara laughed and she lightly waved her hand towards Jade and offered him a seat.

She was late to realize that they were still standing after their introductions.

Different from Jade, the siblings naturally took seats in a familiar way at their normal spots.

"You're going to be able to taste tea that's going to be on a completely different level compared to any other tea you've had till now."

"Is that so."

"Our grandmother cultivates them herself, so you can only taste it here."

"That's quite the rare tea."

Jade was calm even with the pride filled words that Laney had just spoken.

It was the same reaction he had shown when she had revealed her ident.i.ty to him.

"Huhu!"

Clara made a peculiar smile as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. It was because she knew what had happened between Jade and Laney.

As for Lloyd, he restlessly stared at his sister and Jade.

Although his sister hadn't told him what had happened, he appeared to have somewhat noticed it.

Ggyoo?

Hwid's eyes quickly opened as the maid prepared the table.

It was an instinctive response as it had smelled food.

Due to it still being young, it was quite the glutton for food, and it wanted to try every new food at least once.

"You want to try it?"

Ggyoong!

A fancy plate with fruits, cookies, and salad. Hwid was unable to take its eyes off the plate, and noticing this, Jade smiled as he filled his own plate with the different food.

As he brought some of the food to Hwid's mouth, it quickly gulped it down.

"How is it?"

Ggyoo!
