"Now..."
Diego's whitened lips have a different meaning than before.
"What the hell have you done now!!"
The restaurant, which had subsided with great power, was filled with heavy silence that seemed to suffocate. In it, only Hilise was in a state of calm.
"I was hungry, but my meal was interrupted, so I ate something else instead."
Still, a calm, uninspiring voice hit their ears.The moment he listened to Hilise, Diego moved his leg without knowing and took a step back.
"I want to finish eating like this, but if you want, you can give me more of what I just ate."

It was obvious that the 'other thing' Hilise was referring to was Diego's power that had just permeated her inside.
Instinctive fear froze Diego.
Somehow creepy goose bumps came to the end of her gaze on her delicate, expressionless face of Hilise. So, unconsciously stepping back one more step, Hilise, who saw him, tilted her head.
"Are you just going to leave?"
The words and eyes of her verses were extremely calm, as if laughing at the people who were agitated by her side.
Soon, Hilise moved her hand as if to let him go. Diego stared at the sight of food with petals entering her mouth.
The movement of Hilise was graceful and elegant, like a lady who enjoys a leisurely dinner. That prompted Diego.
Diego was caught up in a tremendous humiliation he had never felt before.
The fact that she was his daughter, rather than the object he had unconsciously felt instinctively fearful of, flooded into belated shame.
He didn't know exactly what Hilise did to him right now, but it was obvious that was cheating.
It must have been an illusion that he felt that he had been robbed of his power by Hilise.
(I've never heard of anything like that being possible.)
Where the embarrassment and confusion had burned, only a deep blue anger remained.
"Hilise!"
But, in fact, Hilise wasn't just about putting Diego up, she really just wanted to eat the veal in front of her.
It was natural that Diego couldn't retreat like this.
So, before the end of this short dinner, she just wanted to taste the delicious dishes in front of her for even a bite.
But Diego's patience was shorter than she thought, so Hilise had only two slices of delicious meat right before her eyes.
Again, a huge force flooded before her eyes. Eventually Hilise sighed and put her hand holding her tableware down the plate next to her.
**Whoooosh!
The same thing happened a while ago. Diego's power was sucked into Hilise.
"It doesn't make sense! How can this happen!!"
He felt it vividly and was amazed. Again, Diego couldn't make a small scratch on Hilise' body.
Looking at it, he had forgotten because there was so much confusion until now, but Hilise used her abilities to relocate her place even at the ball of Callicia.
It wasn't possible even for Diego, such as Axion and some of the Berzet, and the chief of Parvenon and his successor, Christian.
So, no way, is it correct that Hilise' power is superior to that? There was no way he could admit that.
Diego clenched his chin so much that he drew in even greater force.
**Kugugugung!
"Oh..."
"Kyaaahh!"
The building shook and a harsh wind blew through the restaurant. The employees who were nearby collapsed into their seats in amazement.
**Dig!
However, despite the colorful roses in full bloom around Diego, his power was absorbed by Hilise instead of attacking Hilise this time.
Diego even realized that his feelings weren't an illusion. His strength was obviously weaker than before he confronted Hilise. At a moment, his mind became dizzy and his legs became weak.
At the same time his concentration was broken, the power that had flowed from Diego's body was scattered in the air.
"Father!"
Ricardo, who had been pushed toward the wall due to the strong wind, saw Diego staggering and ran quickly to catched him.
The hair of Hilise, blowing in the wind, also fell under her shoulders. It suddenly turned red about half of it.

It was the second bloom she had been waiting for.
As she lifted her eyelids, the golden eye hidden inside it gave off a chilly glow.
Diego's power, which had just poured into it, had not yet fully fused with the power of Hilise, shaking inside.
Still, after a while, it gradually began to melt under the power of Hilise. I felt the stronger strength twisting around my heart and screaming.
After swallowing Diego's power, her ability to become more powerful was finally settled in her.
It would have been impossible to extortion Diego's power in this way if it had been.
But what turned that impossible into possible was the tears of Callicia, which Hilise swallowed earlier.
A rare treasure that helped her to absorb other people's powers to make her power stronger than before.
The reason she went to save her child today was also to get that gem.
From ancient times, it has been said that among the holy waters of Callicia, jewels made of tears have a mysterious power.
That is why Callicia is called the 'Clan of Heavy Rain'.
If a member of the 4th generation had the jewel on his body, his strength slightly increased for a certain period of time, and Callicia’s abilities were treated as gems in other families as well.

However, the gem made of tears had its own true effect.
By swallowing it with your mouth and dissolving it in your body, your strength will increase significantly, and you can absorb other people's abilities for a certain period of time and make it your own.
Therefore, in Callicia, the facts have been secretly hidden from the outside for the sake of peace and balance for the four generations.
No literature has left out the true power of Callicia’s gem.
In particular, today, long after their abilities were lost, no outsiders knew about their utility.
So Diego was pale, saying he couldn't believe what had happened to him right now. Not quite as well as Diego, but Ricardo's face was also pale.
A little while ago he learned that there was a confrontation of power between Diego and Hilise, but he didn't know exactly what had happened between the two because he had no senses.
Still, it seemed to him that the current situation was threatening Diego's authority.
**Whooshh
Seeing them, Hilise completely dropped the fork and knife she had in her hand on her plate.
"In the past, a stigma was found on the body of the person with the most powerful ability in the family, proving the qualification of the head of the family.”
Then everyone in her dining room stared at Hilise with stupid faces as she lifted a napkin and gently wiped her mouth.
So they seemed to haven't listened to what Hilise had to say. She once read it in old texts. As it is now, it was a record before the ancient blood-stained powers were almost extinct.
However, as the generation continued, the blood gradually faded, and it was natural that the power in it gradually weakened.
Therefore, it was impossible for the successor to have a strength stronger than the current head of the family.
For that reason, the conditions of the transfer were changed in a way that one day, the former chieftain directly appointed his successor and handed over the stigma.
That's a practice that still holds today. However, there was only one person in this generation who broke those old rules.
"It feels a little strange. I'm curious if Axion Bergett was feeling this way."
The moment the name of Axion Verjet came out of Hilise' mouth, Diego's gaze shook greatly.
An unbelievable glance hurried into Hilise. She knew right away because her clothes she was wearing right now were her pajamas.
The stigma of geometric shapes shining in a subtle gold color on Hilise's neck and collarbone. It ran down to the back of her left hand, which was revealed out of her sleeve.
Diego hurriedly looked down on the back of his hand and called in his power. However, the stigma that appeared on his skin every time he used his power did not appear anymore.

"I'm afraid I'll have to cancel what I said last time. Still, there are times when my father helps me."
A monotonous voice of Hilise echoed over Diego's desperate head.
The voice was so lukewarm that it was unbelievable that she was the main culprit of such a great thing.
"Actually, whatever the people in this house give me is not worth as much as the stone on the side of the road, but the headship will still be useful to me."
Eventually, she pulled her chair back and stood on her floor, and there wasn't a single piece of feeling like joy or joy on her face.
"It's like this, I'll keep it until I die, so I'll report it."
With her eccentric carelessness and heartlessness, so declared Hilise.
"So you guys don't do anything from now on. From today on, I, the owner of Inoaden, will decide everything."
For Diego, it was an acquaintance with the sentence, meaning political death penalty.
