Right before opening the door, Li Ru had an epiphany
"What about the fairy legacy in the ruins? It is the fastest and most surefire way to get stronger to protect ourselves from our death"
"Yeah… that is perfect for now and with luck, we may even see Asura" alia agreed
"We need permission though, before we leave" Li Xing quipped
"Yeah… I doubt they'd let us out into the ruins without permission" alia continued the thought
On this decision, they opened the double door and they were greeted with an array of delicacies spread out on a single large rectangular table customized with a table curtain over it surrounded by chairs made of wood. The chairs with a seating pad made of wool underneath provided an air of sophistication and comfort in the medieval setting.
At the long table were people of different settings and types ranging from old pompous men in regal clothing to children. Seeing the crowd of people, the three otakus from the other world had one thought in mind
'This is going to be troublesome'
Bringing them out of their stupor was a voice of high magnitude seating at the head seat at the front
"Girls… come in and take a seat. We will begin soon"
Seeing the owner of the voice instantly brought a wave of nostalgia to them. An amicable yet stern looking man with purple hair and blue eyes. The head of the Li family, Li Luo. Otherwise known as the fallen king in the story arc and Asura's teacher/ mentor after Asura left the ruins and escaped from enslavement
In the story, he had lost everything and had wandered the world without purpose till he encounters a young boy who also had lost a lot dear to him. With great empathy, he adopted Asura and taught him how to behave, and interact with society. He eventually dies at the hands of the men who killed his family. This though drives Asura to vengeance and he massacres everyone related to his mentor and his mentor's family's death and downfall eventually earning him the ire of the protagonist who thought Asura's method were cruel and rushed.
Right now, Li Luo was Li Ru's father, Li Xing's uncle and Ao Ning's guardian.
Deciding to avoid taking more time than needed, they chose the empty seats obviously reserved for them beside their mothers near the front of the table as said as part of the customs in the story for public meal settings. Li Ru ended up seating directly beside her mother who was a woman with 7/10 beauty rating in her early 30's with silver hair and black eyes while looking like a splitting image of Li Ru.
Her name was Li Yu and she sat on the right hand side of her husband opposite her firs son of 19 who is the splitting image of his father.
Li Xing sat beside a woman of brown hair and black eyes with 5/10 beauty rating but with a stern face. She sat beside her husband while her son sat opposite her. The atmosphere around this part of the table was vastly different from the atmosphere as it felt stiffening like the family of 3 males and 3 females were almost on the verge of breaking part
Ao Ning sat beside her mother who was characterized by her as the person with way too much perfume and makeup. Seeing her made Ao Ning feel immediate dislike and disgust as she seemed to embody everything she hated. Arrogance, craftiness and undiluted greed. The fact that she was also supposed to be responsible for the death of the body she now possessed didn't help matters
