Chapter 52 : Odd situation

    "Huh? You don''t have a darkness ability?" Alex asked, stunned.

    "No," Anna replied, still confused.

    "Then how about a bloodline?"

    "Well, I don''t know. Even if I have one, I don''t seem to have awakened it, though," said Anna, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

    ''I don''t know about the bloodline, but it should be impossible that she had no clue about her darkness ability. Everyone has an instinctual knowledge about their powers the moment they awaken them, so how can she not know about her ability?'' contemplated Alex.

    ''For her bloodline, it''s actually normal that she doesn''t know about it, though,'' remarked Alex.

    The reason he thought it was quite normal for Anna to not know if she had a bloodline or not was the fact that, under normal conditions, information about the bloodline was generally held by a family''s upper echelon.

    They were the ones who explained how to awaken your bloodline or how the bloodline worked, those sorts of things. That was exactly why Anna didn''t know if she had a bloodline or not, as she was considered to be an orphan.

    Anna was actually found by Ava when she was on one of her missions. Anna was barely 8 years old at that time and had lost her memory, so she didn''t know if she had parents or such, thus she just consider herself as an orphan.

    The only family she ever knew was the Eswald family.

    ''Even if she knew about her bloodline, I doubt she would know how to awaken it,'' thought Alex, as he knew that most bloodlines had an awakening requirement.

    Actually, from what his father once told him, the Eswald family also possessed a bloodline. However, the requirement to awaken it was being at level 7. That''s why no one knew about it, not even the current patriarch, as Alex''s father was the sole Eswald, beside their ancestor, to have attained level 7.

    "Is she okay with that?"

    "Yep."

    Hearing his last response, Anna seemed to be a little conflicted, so Alex asked her, "Does it bother you that I need to be with other women?"

    "No, not particularly. If Mistress Lilia is fine with it, I don''t see why I should be the one bothered by it. What troubles me is how she will react when she finds out about us."

    Hearing her, Alex just shrugged his arms to show that he didn''t have a clue about that. "I don''t know about that, but what I do know is her reaction when she sees that you are late for your work."

    It wasn''t until Alex hinted at it that Anna finally glanced outside. The moment she saw that it was already morning, she quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom while saying repeatedly, "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t..."

    Seeing her like that, Alex chuckled in amusement, knowing well that Lilia would probably do nothing to Anna even if she was late.

    ''I should probably also head out and go see if Mom has prepared the cores as I asked.''

    ''Although the fact that Anna doesn''t know about her ability worries me a bit, I will have to ask Aunt Eleanor to check and see if there is something wrong with her mind.''

    ''Ahh... it''s been so long since I saw her,'' thought Alex while dreaming about his aunt.

    Eleanor was the daughter of his grandfather''s third wife and also the youngest of the siblings. She was also the first crush of Alex.

    ''I will definitely need to make her mine.''
