Yelena cupped Nathanael's face lovingly as she spoke, "Nathan let me look at your face, oh how much you have grown, it has been two years since I last saw you, how have you been?", as she gave a small peck on his forehead.
Nathanael smiled as he spoke, "I am fine aunty, but how have you been?"
Yelena smiled as she spoke, "I am fine child."
No sooner than did Yelena release he was hugged by his cousin as she spoke in a giddy manner, "Oh my cuz, I heard you already graduated from school congratulations."
Nathanael just smiled sheepishly as he spoke, "Thank you, but I believe you all must be tired let us leave so you two may rest."
With that they left the airport as Nathanael with the help of his driver loaded the luggage as he entered the car as he sat opposite to the mother daughter duo.
Yelena: "Where is your mother and father, Nathan?"
Nathanael shrugged as he spoke, "I do not know, I was playing the 'Embers of Isera', when I received a message from mom telling me to receive, something important had come up all of sudden as such theyr were unable to arrive."
Yelena simply nodded at that, when running such a big business empire something is bound to happen.
Nikolayeva: "Nathan, how is the game? I bought a platinum capsule but I have yet to enter the game itself, so how is it."
Nathanael smiled as he spoke, "Well calling it a simple game will be injustice you should call it an alternate reality by how amazing the game is."
Nikolayeva: "I cannot wait to play."
Yelena sighed as she spoke, "You can play it but not before tonight get some rest, and if what brother Tristan has said your capsule will be installed by dinner time then you may join Nathan."
Nikolayeva pouted before turning towards Nathanael as she spoke with a grin, "So what level have you reached?"
Nathanael: "Currently I am Level 3."
Nikolayeva frowned as she spoke, "What only level 3, what blasphemy is this, since when you have been playing."
Nathanael sighed as he spoke, "Since the launch of the game, but there are many things in this game which you have to deal fast if you want to get a quest like social hierarchy, everyone starts at the bottom, as long as you are at the bottom let alone get quest people will treat you like animals, on top of that you have to learn this or that, it is very tiresome. But enough of that how was your flight?"
Yelena shrugged as she spoke, "Well there was slight turbulence, and you know after the global warming has increased drastically it has caused change in weather as such turbulences are not so uncommon now a day."
As they gossiped with each other the time passed by as they reached the 'Osprey' mansion, where a group of maids led by Katrina appeared as they greeted them.
Yelena: "Ah Katrina, how have you been?"
Katrina simply bowed as she spoke, "I have been well Ma'am, I hope you been doing fantastic."
Yelena spoke while winking at Katrina, "If you ever get tired of working here, you can apply to work for me."
Only for Nathanael to squawk in indignation, "What are you saying aunty? Do not poach big sister.", he finished with a pout.
Yelena simply stretched Nathanael's cheeks in return as she spoke with a laugh, "Ok ok I will not poach her no need to get so protective."
It was just before the time for dinner that Nathanael's entire family had gathered as they spoke among each other as their laughter was heard around the big halls of the 'Osprey' mansion.
Saniyah suddenly spoke in a serious tone, "You know Yelena, if you ask me Nikola and Nathan both fit together too well, in fact I would be rather happy if they got together."
Yelena adopted a serious face upon hearing that, "You know what aunt Saniyah, you made a wonderful suggestion, if my daughter gets together with Nathan, I can rest easy knowing my daughter has someone as nice as Nathan as her spouse, what do you say Aubrielle."
Nathan's mother smiled brightly at the idea as she spoke, "It is a wonderful idea, Nikola has every quality I would want in my future daughter-in-law."
Everyone except the Nathan's mother and aunt looked a bit surprised normally the duo would not agree with each other and fought a lot amongst them but they readily agreed on this matter.
Dominic frowned as he spoke, "As much as I would love to have Nikola as my future granddaughter-in-law, do they share feeling s for each other?"
Tristan: "Dad if they get engaged I am sure eventually they would fall in love with each other."
Ryle: "Sorry but I have to agree with Dominic on this, you as well as Yelena all of you married the one you have fallen in love with should we not allow the same for them. On top of that Nathanael just went through a bad break up."
Yelena raised her eyebrows as she asked, "What happened?"
Isabella sighed as she spoke everything to Yelena in great details, as she finished she heard an anger filled voice of Nikola startling them, "How dare they, how dare they treat Nathan like that."
Isabella: "How long have you been here Nikola?"
Nikola: "Nathan and I just arrived as you began speaking about his breakup and the betrayal.", she turned towards Nathan her grayish eyes boring holes at him causing him to sweat, "How did you punish there insolence, Nathanael."
Nathanael sweated a bit under his cousin's glare as he spoke, "I have yet to do anything with them, I am waiting for the right moment."
Nikolayeva sighed as she spoke, "Let me tell you about something that happened with me cousin, during my college years I fell in love with a disgusting pig, a mistake of youth I believe, one day I came across him sleeping with one of my friends, I hired a detective who found some interesting information it seemed that those two were boyfriend and girlfriend even before I met them in fact they were engaged the pig pretended to be in love with me for my money nothing more nothing less. A week later they had suffered a very severe allergic reaction which caused them to be admitted to a hospital, during their stay inside the hospital both had accidently opted for 'penectomy' and 'hysterectomy'. "
At that all the people were stunned at what they heard specially the sadistic gleam in her eyes as Yelena simply sighed in exasperations.
Nathanael simply gave a scared laugh as he spoke, "Well then cuz I hope you would not mind lending me a helping hand."
Nikola: "Of course why not."
After a sumptuous dinner, Nathan and Nikola entered their respective capsule.
As Zeus entered the game he found himself standing outside the library, he raced towards the city hall it was already evening when he had entered the game, and he made just in time to purchase from for changing class from 'Vagrant' to 'Serf', he knew his cousin had still sometime to enter.
"tch, this form are in there language how will we be able to fill them.", came an irritated female voice.
As more and more people began to showing their discontent with the form the official on the other hand was incredibly busy drooling and snoring without care in the world.
Zeus spotted an empty desk and chair an idea formed in his head, he jumped up on the desk as he spoke loudly, "Attention everyone, I know how hard you have worked in order to gather money for class increase but now you have write in a language which is unknown and the only way to learn the language is through library but unfortunately the only way to use the library is by becoming a serf, what an impasse, but my brother and sisters do not fear for I am here, for a price of 5 Copper coins I will fill those form for you as such those who want to please form a line I will fill those forms for you."
One of the people present spoke, "Oh and how would we know you are not lying? What if you simply destroy our forms?"
Zeus gave a small smile as he spoke, "That is a risk you have to take my friend so how about this I will do the first person's form for free you can judge whether I am phony or not, if I am feel free to hand me over to the city guards."
Everyone hesitated until a very young looking boy approached him as he spoke, "Excuse big brother, will you fill my form."
Zeus simply smiled as he took the form as he asked, "So what is your name?", a few question later he had filled the details on the form before he handed it to the boy who took it to the counter handing it to grumbling official.
Zeus saw the boy undergoing a similar procedure before he exclaimed loudly, "I am a serf now."
Zeus: "Congratulations, now who else wants to get there form filled up."
There was silence for a few minutes before all of them clamored to form a line making Zeus incredibly happy as he thought inwardly, 'Kukuku, my money making scheme succeeded.'
