Chapter 87: Private Residence in a Special Area
"Ella, where is your grandfather at this time? Is he going out in his disguise?" Elysia asked again as they continued their steps, this time Ella was no longer walking in front but beside Elysia.
"Now is the fifth day of the week, he will come out later in the afternoon. Mmm... Yes, Ely, Eve. Please don't tell anyone about my grandfather who likes to go out undercover, okay? That information is only known by a few people."
Ella cautiously reminded her because she had been told by her grandfather to keep the secret so that no one else knew.
"Yes, I'm good at keeping secrets." Elysia nodded in understanding, she deliberately lured Ella into telling more about it by admitting the incident at the Holy Library.
"Sure, I can be trusted for secrets." Evelyn nodded too.
"I'm glad to hear that. Let's go to my private residence in a special area. My grandfather and I live there, I'm sure he's still there." Ella also nodded with a cute smile.
"You don't live in the academy dorm room, Ella?" Elysia turned to Ella in a somewhat surprised look.
"Um, yes. My grandfather didn't allow it, since the distance here to the academy was so close, the academy finally allowed it."
Elysia nodded slightly while estimating useless things on her mind. If Ella lived in a private residence in the Holy Cathedral which indirectly even this small magnificent island belonged to her grandfather and he was the leader of a superpower with authority scattered throughout each city, wasn't she a real princess too?
The three young girls walked through a special corridor with special access as well. They need an access permit to enter the private residence in a special area.
Ella immediately borrowed Elysia and Evelyn's membership card and then she did something with their card with a cube that she took from her [Space Bag]. After that, she swiped three membership cards in a special tool on the wall near the large closed door.
"Here I will return your membership card, the two of you now have access to the special area by swiping your membership card there before opening this big door."
Ella returned the membership cards of her two juniors who might become close friends, then she pointed to a special device on the wall by the large door.
"What will happen if we don't get permission from that device over there? What you did earlier with a cube was to give us access rights?"
"Yes, I have the authority to do that. If we don't have access rights, we will bounce off because of an invisible wall." Ella nodded at the confused Evelyn.
"Very sophisticated." Elysia was amazed when she found out about a security system like a barrier. She immediately thought of Vanessa still following behind in camouflage.
'Vanessa, come to me and go over my head. We will enter a special area.'
'Yes, master.'
A white cat in its camouflage and energy blanket immediately jumped up and sprawled over Elysia's head as they opened the huge door and entered it.
Elysia sensed something was blocking them a little but she managed to enter safely and Vanessa was still sitting on her head, the latter getting off her master after they passed through the barrier door to play around.
After they walked a little through the corridor and it became an open corridor, a lovely garden with a small fountain, and an attractive fish pond decorated with beautiful flowers and charming plants in almost all parts of the garden.
There was also a pavilion for relaxing by the fountain, but the three girls froze immediately when they saw an old man without a top shirt standing near the pavilion looking at his reflection in the mirror he was holding.
"Hmm, my disguise this time is perfect. Although my good looks have dropped by about 30 percent, I have a completely different face. Even the girl I met in the library six days ago wouldn't recognize me."
Alexander stroked his beard and nodded confidently as he put the mirror back onto his [Space Bag] on his waist. This had become a routine before he came out with a new disguise in the past six days, and all because of a girl he met in the Holy Library at that time who could find out himself without knowing his true identity.
He didn't know what the girl was doing, but her purplish-blue eyes seemed to be able to see and penetrate his disguise.
"Yes, look at this amazing muscular body and this healthy body that is usually wrapped in robes and clothes every day. Nobody will know that this grandfather has a big muscle boom."
He tried some cool poses to show off his muscles in his arms and upper body without realizing that three girls froze at the sight of him.
"Oh no, the bicep on my left arm is a little soft. I need to do a little training for you in the evening." Alexander pinched the bicep of his left hand anxiously.
"Grandpa, what are you doing in the morning like this?" Elysia immediately came out of her shock then greeted the old man who told her to call him Grandpa.
"Ouh? Oh! You're the girl I met at the Holy Library six days ago. Good, you really need to call me Grandpa. But why do you recognize me? My face should be very different." Alexander immediately looked at the three girls behind him then took out a mirror again to double-check.
"You, grandfather, really. Please dress properly, you are the Pope for the sake of the world... Ely, Eve, don't look. We church girls need to be holy from sin."
Ella reprimanded her grandfather then she closed the eyes of her two juniors with her hands while blushing slightly then closed her eyes. She was always taught by her mother to like to do good things and stay away from sin. Seeing the body of a man who was not her husband was a sin for the girl, her mother taught her.
"Well, I was here myself a while ago, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly, Ella. How was your day as a priest on the first day you met new students?" Alexander smoothed his gold-white Pope robe to be worn properly without feeling awkward or embarrassed.
"My day was good, I have two juniors as my study partners who are my responsibility. Grandfather, this is Elysia Avery, and this is Evelyn Mitchell." Ella opened her eyes again, no longer covering the eyes of her two juniors with her hands.
"Hum, that's great. Me, Alexander Celestine. You know me, right?" Alexander nodded then looked at Elysia and Evelyn. The two girls who didn't understand the question just nodded awkwardly.
"Err... Elysia, why can you recognize me at one glance? Even my granddaughter can't recognize me if I'm not in this special area." He stroked his long beard again, still in disguise.
"Well, it's you because it's you. I know because I know too." Elysia smiled wryly and didn't know what to answer, there was no way she could tell that she could see the status screen.
"Hmm... How about you, Evelyn? Ella, what do you think? Can you recognize me on this face?"
"You look so different from your usual face. Apart from your long and familiar beard, I would have a hard time recognizing you, grandfather." Ella answered honestly.
"Your face is very different from the face I know in books, grandfather." Evelyn nodded slightly.
"See, I am so hard to identify, Elysia. Are those purplish-blue eyes that have broken through my disguise and seen who I am?"
"Umm... That might be true, I don't know. If you disguise yourself in Ella's form I might also have a hard time recognizing you, or maybe even mistaking you as Ella." Elysia felt a little awkward when Alexander looked at her again.
Alexander coughed as if he was choking on food. Even with all of his talents he could not possibly change his form, let alone change gender. All he did was disguise his face into another face with life magic.
Surprisingly, Elysia seemed to know it was him even though his face was different.
What really happened, Elysia didn't see much change in Alexander's face and she could recognize him without even looking at the status screen, something Elysia and Elena don't understand.
