Shifting his body back and forth on his father's back, Justin tugged on Esong's hair and if it was the handle of a bike.

Then he said, "Daddy sing with me, itchy itchy ouch ouch, can you help my?boo-boo."

"It's called the boo-boo song baby."

"Yes that one." Justin said cheerful.

Behind them, she had Gregor saying to Beord, "Big brother carry me like that too."

"And me." Halley said.

When Scarlet turned around, she saw her youngest sister jumping up and down while tugging on Beord's pants. Halley had claimed Beord's let left while Gregor claimed the right one. With the way they were tugging on his sweat pants, they would probably pull them down successfully.

"Calm down you little brats." Beord held on to his pants by the waist. "If you make me embarrass myself nobody is going to be carried." He looked at Scarlet and mouthed, help.

Scarlet laughed and said, "Alex play kids songs, nursery rhymes on every screen and speaker in the castle."

Beord grunted and grabbed Halley first and then Gregor, each of them claimed a side on his broad shoulders.

A group of three adults and three toddlers made their way to the dining room with the toddlers singing loudly at the tops of their lungs. In the dining room, they found than more than half of those expected to be at the table were already there.

Beord put his siblings down and Gregor hurried to find himself a seat while Halley rushed to claim her place on her father's laps. She would be there acting adorable all night until when she received her christmas gift or fell asleep.

She and Esong had chosen to leave the central seat to the empress and they sat opposite of her with their son in the middle. she was sitting next to Adler.

"For your information I liked the christmas music better."?Adler whispered to her.

"So did I." she whispered back.

"So why?" he asked.

"I have a little master who I occasionally allow to make the decisions."?she told him.

Adler looked at the little master Justin who was pointing at the foods on the table and counting them one by one.?He also frowned at the ones he was not interested in putting inside of his mouth. At the top of the list was the broccoli.

She laughed when she saw the look of hatred he aimed at it and then he tugged on her sweater and said, "Mummy, I am not going to eat the small tree shaped meat."

She pulled his head closer to her chest and rubbed his hair while explaining to him what broccoli was for the tenth time in a month. "Broccoli, Justin, not meat but a plant. Why does it always go over your head when I tell you what it's called."

"Because it's yucky." he stuck his tongue out.

She drew in a deep breath and prepared herself to educate him on broccoli, it's nutrients and the advantages of eating it. She was even going to lie to him that it would help him grow taller.

All that was pushed to the back when the empress said, "Scarlet dear, I am afraid that I might not be resist the temptation of these lovely foods much longer. Are there rituals we must follow like the head of house or host digging in first?"

"You are the guest of honor your highness, so you will be the one whose lead we all follow. The only ritual we could follow is perhaps going around the table to say what we are thankful for from the previous year or in this new year."

There was no thanksgiving in this world so she might as well steal another tradition from earth.

"That sounds lovely," The empress smiled and she said, "I am grateful for your knowledge on edible foods. How we lived on only nutrient solutions until you, I don't know."

Cecily was sitting next to the empress so she got to go next. "I am grateful for my great grandson Justin and the time we have spent together."

"I am grateful for the fact that we lost fewer mecha warriors the past winter than the previous ones." Etienne said.

"I am grateful for all of you."?Mega Su said, and her words were repeated by her husband, Elroy, Fey and Carolyn.

"I am grateful for our family and what we have overcome." Adler said the same thing in different words.

While everyone including all the guests and visitors from Xeno who had been invited at the request of the empress said only nice things, one Emory Wu was smiling like a devious beast, awaiting her turn so that she could say something spiteful.

"We will not be saying anything, Emory's throat is aching." her husband cut into her plans and she clenched her hands into a fist.

"I am thankful for my beautiful family." Esong looked at Scarlet and Justin.

He even extended his hand and took her right hand which was sitting on the table next to Justin's. He squeezed her hand, and they shared a secret smile.

Mega and her husband shared a secret smile as well, very pleased with the way the relationship had progressed.

Seeing that she was the only one left, Scarlet raised her glass, an action that the others had not done.

Looking around the table, she smiled broadly and said, "Uhm, there is much that I have to be thankful for and if I begin to list them down, we might be here all night long and this delicious food will go to waste. So, I am going to pick out the most important one, the one which which matters most to me right now. I am thankful for second chances."

She had died, transmigrated, and restarted her life. A better life than the one she had in the past. She had received the biggest second chance the universe could ever restore on a human.

"I will drink to that." Lora Storm said, loudly, and she took a big sip from the glass of wine in her hands.?She too would be dead right now if not for Scarlet's infinite mercy and her brother's refusal to let her and her daughter die.

"Me too." Arya said and she snuck a glance at Adler who was looking down at the glass of wine that he was tapping with the nail of his index finger slowly.

Scarlet raised her glass of wine even higher and said loudly, "That said, let's feast." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Finally," a small voice said. It was one of the children, little Halley to be exact and everyone laughed.
