Chapter 209: You as my mother

"I don't see you as my mother." 

Ari opens her mouth slightly, unable to digest the words uttered by her daughter. 

Strands of Misaki's dark hair is fluttering with the breeze. Her eyes are clear and tranquil. Despite being only a ten-year-old girl, Misaki doesn't have the look that belongs to a child. 

"What are you saying?" Ari's voice breaks. Maybe she has heard it wrong. Maybe Misaki is confused. "Misaki, I am your mother."

"Lady, didn't you hear me?" Misaki stares at her steadily. "I don't see you as my mother. I am one of the faces of Chaos. That's all I am."

After hearing those words, Ari inhales sharply. The ache in her heart intensifies. Ari looks at Chaos, hiding all the emotions. "You brainwashed her mind."

"I only told the truth." Chaos cocks her head with a sly smile on her lips. "Is it not true that she's one of my faces?"
