《Rise of the Empress of Stars》Return

The fog is quite heavy in the early morning with the temperature nearing freezing point, we can see people rushing to catch their early morning flights everywhere.
Zera tightened the scarf around her neck and snuggled in her mother's embrace as she recalled the information about the family members she is going to meet today.
Mom has an older brother Skylar Bladestorm, 32 years old, current CEO of SKS Healthcare, and married to Rinnte Allum, 31 years old with a 2-year-old kid Avory. Father Ardron Blade Storm, 55 years old, current chairman of SKS Healthcare, and mother Kate Baiss 53 years old.
Dad has a younger brother Tyrin Lynx, 25 years, current CEO of Xeon Group, Father Xander Lynx 60 years old, and the current chairman of Xeon Group. Mother Adley Bankes, 56 years old.
'From the information on the internet and what mom has said uncle Skylar is the legendary iceberg face with a soft heart for cute things while dad's brother, hmm, well I can't explain it in words. I feel like we can get along really well though.'
'Though I know that they are all healthy without blood pressure or heart problems, I just hope they won't get over-excited when they find the three of us walking out of the airport.'
"Hey mom, are you sure grandpa and them won't faint when you give them a shock like this. They are getting quite old now." Said Zera, as they waited to collect baggage from the carousel.
"Hmm, looking at your smile I know that you got a new idea. Spill it out and let us know." Said Sylvia reaching out to pick steady the trolley while Zale arranged the baggage.
"How about we book a private room at a restaurant and I will go alone first. Later both of you can bring the families separately. Don't you always say I look a lot like you mom, guess what happens when I call grandpa as soon as they enter."Zera said exited at the thought of scaring the sh*t out her grandparents with a grin on her face.

Bump…
"MOM!!! Don't do that! You still can't control your strength." Exclaimed Zera, rubbing the already numb head from the unknown number of hits she received during the past few weeks.
"Hehe...Sorry I was just too excited dear, you can't blame me. Okay, let's do that.. Let me check for a restaurant and order a cab for you. Don't cause trouble when you reach there and inform me upon arrival, okay?" Said Sylvia, while confirming a private room at Sea View Pavilion which is quite a popular and long-standing family business in town.
"Yeah, yeah ...whatever," Muttered Zera, taking out her mini backpack and slinging it on her shoulder, and quickly running to the exit with Sylvia's mobile phone.
"Are you sure it is okay to send her alone to a new city?" Asked Zale, worried that his daughter might be kidnapped, lost, or bullied.
"You know her and do you think if someone kidnaps her for ransom, with her strength and IQ I am pretty sure that she will subdue them in her little brothers instead of them harming her. Let's leave separately and meet again at the hotel and good luck with your father" Replied Sylvia, pushing her baggage towards the exit.
"Yeah I guess you are right, It would be their luck not to get bullied by her if that ever happened."Said Zale running to catch up with Sylvia after checking that nothing is left behind.
Listening to the crashing of waves against the rocks beside the road and watching the seagulls fighting for a fish on the rocks, Zera stretched her body after the long flight and relaxed herself watching the flashing by the scenery as most of the things in this era are still quite new to her; although she has seen them on the internet, it's the first time experiencing they in real life.
The middle-aged driver dressed in casual clothes turned up the temperature a little as he noticed that the little girl is still wearing the scarf after entering the cab to make her comfortable and slowed down the speed as he observed that Zera is interested in the surroundings.

"First time here, little girl?" Asked the driver looking at Zera through the mirror.
"Yes, uncle. It is beautiful here." Said Zera, looking at the kind eyes of the driver.
"Good that you like it here and do you want me to introduce you to the places we are traveling from. Don't worry, it's free of charge for cute little girls."
"Haha..If you say so"
"Look to your right, that's the …."
The flies as quickly and an old cab pulled over near the Sea View Pavilion and a 4-year-old girl got out of the car and waved to the driver slinging her backpack over her shoulder.
"Hmm...Little girl, did you get lost? Where are your parents?" Asked the beautiful teenage receptionist as I climbed over and stood on the chair to see over the desk.
'Who in the right freaking mind make receptionist desks over a meter tall, I can't even see the receptionist standing in front of it.
"Um...No, I am not lost. My mom just reserved a private room around an hour ago in the name of Sylvia for 12 people. I am quite hungry so I arrived first and they will arrive in another 30 minutes."Explained Zera, pulling out the confirmation message from the mobile and showing it to the beautiful girl.
"Yeah, that checks out. Hey Richard, send the little girl to room no-3. Follow him, little girl, he will show the way." Said the receptionist with a smile.
'The view is nice from here, the name is quite appropriate for this view. Let's see, most of the menu is fresh seafood. These species of fish are to me, I don't know what to order. Hmmm….screw that just one of everything on the specials along with a portion of every appetizer and let those adults deal with if any remains' Though Zera quite irritated as she doesn't recognize any of the dishes on the menu and there it aside.
Watching the waiter's astonished face as I kept on adding dishes to the order is quite amusing.
"Uhm...Shall I serve them now or when the rest of the guests arrive, Miss?"Asked the manager who arrived after I ordered to repeatedly confirm it as the order was quite huge and me being a four year old can't help much. So I just took out my mom's card from the backpack and gave it to him before he left.
Crunch...Crack..
'Uhmm...these lobsters are quite delicious, and so are the french fries. Don't know what it's made of. Need to ask mom to make them from now on.'
Creek...
An old man with slightly gray hair at the front and wearing a casual dress with a dark brown overcoat on top took a step into the private room and stopped dumbfounded as he stared at the little girl at the head of table full of dishes eating french fries with one hand and sucking a lobster claw with the other while smearing the sauce all over her face and hands.
As the door opens with a sound, Zera looked up with her lobster claw still in her mouth as she watched an old man enter and stare dumbfoundedly at her.
Recognizing mother's father, Zera took out the lobster from her mouth, waved it excitedly, and shouted," Hello Grandpa!!!"
