YM778.TV Chapter 43 Appraisal Ability?
The mansion woke up early the day Ethan had comprehension of his ancestral blessing after the arduous \'dream\' he had.
The cooks had already begun to make a delicious, special breakfast as Albaer wanted to have a meal with everyone since Ethan successfully made it out alive and well from the awakening.
It was the time of dawn, the sun had just risen on the horizon and Ethan had tried out his \'Frost\' power for the first time.
The door of Ethan\'s room suddenly opened with a slight creak and Aisha, as well as Naenna entered.
"Eth! Wake u-" Naenna exclaimed as she entered the room with enthusiasm but suddenly stopped mid-sentence and blinked twice.
Aisha also entered and raised her brows teasingly as she placed her hand in front of her mouth and mattered, "Oh dear..."
"What?" Ethan who was lying on his bed asked not understanding why the both of them were giggling in front of him wide-eyed.
He looked at the both of them and they looked back at him trying to hold back their laughter,
Ethan had no idea what was happening.
Naenna finally couldn\'t hold back as she burst out into laughter and pointed at the bedsheets.
Ethan looked around and realization dawned on him as he hurriedly opened his mouth and tried to explain himself but Naenna beat him to the punch.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Eth~ Hehe, Eth wet his bedsheets~! Hahaha!" Naenna chortled while laughing hysterically.
"I did n-" Ethan got up quickly and once again tried to explain himself. But then he realized— how was he going to explain himself anyways?
Before Naenna and Aisha barged in, Ethan had just performed his power for the first time. But it did not last long and the frost created over the bedsheets melted; making it seem as if Ethan pissed himself in his sleep.
And Ethan was not going to reveal yet that he managed to comprehend his Ancestral Blessing—for obvious reasons of course. And therefore, he couldn\'t slip out of this awkward situation so easily.
It was quite the comical sight, the calm and composed Ethan was now flustered, his cheeks slightly red as he found himself in a terrible misunderstanding.
"Dear... It\'s... Fine, you know, Happens sometimes, nothing to be embarrassed about." Aisha giggled and assured awkwardly with a smile on her face.
"Hahaha! Eth-... Ouch!"
Naenna who was having immense fun seeing Ethan\'s flustered and miserable expression abruptly stopped laughing like a maniac when she was bonked on the head by Aisha.
"And you! Is that how a Young Lady should behave? Who will marry a roguelike woman like you then?" Aisha scolded. Her hands were on her hips and a mad expression was on her face as she stared down at Naenna with a \'How many times do I have to tell you this?\' type of gaze.
"Hmph! I won\'t marry! I won\'t!" Naenna stomped angrily and also strongly stood her ground and retorted, her eyes were moist as she rubbed her head.
"You!" Aisha flared up in anger. She wasn\'t that serious before but now she was pissed off.
"Alright alright, mother... Leave her alone okay? By the way, why did you come to wake me up so early in the morning?" Ethan asked, swiftly saving his sister and dodging a bullet himself.
Aisha finally realized why she had come to Ethan\'s room in the first place. She gave a sideways glance to Naenna who had her cheeks puffed up as she was still pretty mad at her for earlier and sighed with resignation.
"Everyone was tense in the ten days you were going through the Ancestral Awakening so we haven\'t had a proper family meal together yet since then. And we even have your fiancé with us now as a guest along with your tutor so your Father decided to have today\'s breakfast together with everyone." Aisha explained with a relieved expression on her face.
She was the happiest person after Ethan\'s transformation. After all, which mother would like it if her son didn\'t talk to her at all?
"I see, I will get ready right away... Please leave." Ethan urged as he got out of bed.
"Umm... Should I... Send the maids in?" Aisha teased as she chuckled and pointed at the bed sheets.
Naenna who was standing at the side puffing her cheeks remembered to tease Ethan. And she broke out in laughter once again.
Ethan sighed helplessly and exclaimed in annoyance, "For God\'s Sake Mother! It\'s water...! WATER I SAY!"
"... Sure, I will send in the maids just in case," Aisha spoke in a rather unconvinced tone as she grabbed Naenna\'s hand and left merrily.
Ethan knitted his brows in embarrassment as he facepalmed and made a grunting sound.
But then his attention was directed to the new ability he had just discovered.
He could see faint indistinct particles around Naenna that were invisible to others. Ethan had a hypothesis as to what this ability was. By now he knew wherever particles he had seen so far were always connected to the blessings of Gods.
So he guessed that because his soul housed something that was made from the powers of all the gods combined; he naturally had a better perception of these particles.
And when he gained the power of his Ancestral Blessing, one of the restrictions on the temple was removed just as Afriel had said, and that\'s how Ethan now had the ability of appraisal in a way as he was able to see that Naenna had a bit of potential for Ancestral Awakening.
Ethan was curious to use his frost ability once again, he shut the door of his room and closed his eyes to concentrate.
A few seconds passed and a small shard of frost as long as a fingernail slowly began materializing above his right hand. But before Ethan could celebrate, the same thing happened as before and the frost melted into water.
Ethan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the water dripping down his hand with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Hmm, so I also need to practice? Damn! Even with all these advantages it\'s not as easy." Ethan muttered as he shook his head and sighed.
Pushing the topic to the back of his head for now, he stretched his arms and took in the fresh morning air that blew over from the mountains and smiled.
"Oh well, I hope my dear uncle is doing well, Heh," Ethan murmured under his breath with a concerned, bitter smile on his face as if he was truly worried about Alier\'s well-being.
Suddenly his lips curled up slightly in a devious smile in complete contrast to his previous facade. Who knew what he was truly thinking? Perhaps a devious plan? Or something else?
"Alrighty, it\'s time to start the productive day! I have got some city seeing to do afterall." Ethan went back to his usual stoic expression and mused to himself as he moved to get ready for the much-anticipated breakfast.
