Grace POV:
I continued to cry as the time passed by, after an unknown time later, I rose my head as I tried to clean my tears
'Get yourself together Grace, this is for the best'
I looked at the necklace in my chest as Austin's image flashed in my mind, the pain seemed to fill my mind, why did I have to suffer like this?, if only if they weren't mother and son, as I was cursing my fate a knock was heard on the door, as Clara's voice was heard
"Mistress, may I enter?"
Hearing her voice I quickly cleaned my face, before putting on a dignified one before I spoke
"Yes, you may"
Soon the door was pushed open as Clara entered, I could see that the prideless child from then had grown up well, I could tell that she loves my son, seeing how she could be with my son while I have to suffer made me a bit angry but I controlled myself to stop such irrational thoughts
"What is it?"
My voice was tinged with a bit of annoyance, I could see that Clara was hesitating as if that she was scared to speak, so I spoke with a bit more power
"What's it!"
Hearing my words Clara paled as she took a step back, she seemed to be hesitating before she spoke
"Mistress, did something happen between you and young master?"
"Why? did Austin do something?"
Hearing Clara's words I felt a bit apprehensive, did something bad happen to him?
"No, I saw the young master run out of the mansion, he-he seemed to be crying, he also left this letter in his table"
Seeing the letter in Clara's hands I quickly used my mana to pull it towards me, in a hurry, I quickly started to read it
<
Dear Mother,
If you are reading this then I have already left the mansion again but don't worry I am not going anywhere far, I would be back home in 2 days, mother I do not know what's bothering you but if it is too much you don't have to say it to me
*Mother ever since I was young you have always been my inspiration, I always wanted to help you, to be beside you, to support you but it seems that it was my wishful thinking, I am sorry if I hurt you mother but it hurt when I knew that you were avoiding me
*So I plan to stay away from you from now, if you think that I make you sad then I will not see you anymore, so mother from now onwards you don't have to see me, I would leave for Babylon Academy earlier than planned
*So mother you don't have to worry, just live as you want, all I ever wanted was your happiness, so if me not being close to you makes you happy then I will stay away from you
With Love
Austin

Holding the letter I could feel that the letter was wet proving that Austin was crying when he wrote this letter, I placed the letter on the table tenderly
This is good, it's better this way, like this I don't have to worry about anything, like this he will slowly leave and my feelings will fade away like this things will not be problematic like this everything would be okay like this things will be normal
Yet why?, why does my heart hurt so much?, why are tears falling from my eyes?, why are my feelings not going away?, why am I feeling like this? shouldn't it be better this way?
I looked down at the letter which had still not dried from my son's tears, each word written in the letter was hazy, seemingly signifying that his hands were trembling as he wrote this letter
I closed my eyes as I placed my hands on my chest, memories seems to flash through my eyes, all the moments I spend with my son, his smiles, his playful words as he commented on me, the happiness I felt when he held my hand and the music he played which shook my heart
'I see....'
I get it now.....
I closed my eyes as I kept my hands on my chest, I don't care anymore, I opened my eyes as I looked at the stupefied Clara as I spoke to her
"Where did he run off to?"
"H-He ran off to the west side of the city"
Hearing it I didn't say anything else as I too ran out of the room, what I didn't see at that time was the playful smile that appeared on Clara's face after I ran out of the room, I just spoke a few words to my trusted attendants before I ran out of the mansion, towards the west of the city
I ran at my full speed with stopping, I didn't stop as I ran out of the city to a familiar hill, I kept running without stopping up to the hill, reaching the top a familiar sound filled my ears, smoothing music filled my ears as I stopped running
Reaching the top I could see a familiar figure standing at the top, a harp in his hand as he played it, his silver hair flew in the wind as the evening winds breezed past by him, unlike his usual music, this one seemed to be filled with sadness as the surrounding seemed to dim in his music
I looked towards him as I slowly walked up to him, my heart seemed to beat out of my chest out of nervousness, reaching a bit closer to him I shouted
"Austin!!"
Hearing my shout the music stopped, Austin was surprised as he turned towards me, his eyes widened when he saw me, I didn't let him speak as I took a deep breath before I shouted
"I love you!!"
Austin's POV:
Silence remained in the hill after mom had finished shouting, I looked at mom with a 'surprised' face, looking astonished, looks like my plan had worked out well, the situation worked better than I had thought
The plan with the letter was a double-edged sword, it could cause mom to either choose not to follow her feelings, causing her to stay away for me, of course, if it did happen I already had a backup plan prepared, leaving my thoughts I looked directly at my mother
"Mo-Mom?"
A surprised voice leaked out of me as if I couldn't believe that she was here, I waved my hands as the harp disappeared from my hands, I looked at mom with a puzzled gaze
"Mom, what do you mean by you love me?"
My pupils were shaking when I asked this question, Grace looked at me a bit hesitant, now that she was a bit calmer, she felt afraid, she didn't know how I was going to react but she had come this far and she just didn't want to give up
The worst that could happen was me distancing away from her which would happen even if she didn't say anything, so she took a deep breath before walking towards me, I could see a bit of fear in her eyes but she didn't back down as she walked in front of me
"Mom?"
I asked her again in 'confusion', she came in front of me as she placed one of her hands in my face, a beautiful smile adorned her face as she spoke
"Son I am sorry for what I did, because of my feelings I ended up accidentally hurting you but remember this son, I could never ever hate you, you are one of the most important things in my life"
My eyes 'trembled' as I heard her words, tears of happiness fell from then, I took my hand as I placed it over the one mom had placed over me, I held it tightly as I looked at her
"Then why? why did you try to distance yourself?"
My question was met with silence as mom looked at me intently, she took a deep breath before she spoke
"Because I love you.....as a man"
Hearing her words my body 'jerked', as I looked at her with 'disbelief', seeing my reaction Grace smiled bitterly, as she spoke again
"I know, I am disgusting right?, how can a mother feel such a thing about her own child, It's okay if you hate me, aft-"
"NO!, I could never hate you!"
Before Grace could even finish I held her hand tightly I looked at her with conviction before I spoke
"Even though it's surprising, I don't hate you, in fact, I love you to mom, not just as a mother but also a woman!!"
Hearing my reply Grace's eyes trembled, she looked at me disbelievingly, seeing that I too smiled 'wryly' as I spoke to her
"Do you know a mom that I had this feeling for you for a long time, the reason I had left on the travel partially was to get rid of this feeling, I thought that if I had stayed away from you enough these feelings should fade away but it never did!"
"I couldn't even like other women's because of it, you know when I returned and I saw you my heart almost leaped out of my chest, I had thought to bury these feelings after that date of ours but no!, they only increased after it, I couldn't stop it!"
I moved forward as I held moms shoulders with my arms, I looked at my dazed mother as shouted
"I love you, Grace!"
My words traveled down the hill, bringing Grace out of her daze, she looked at my purple eyes which were burning with feelings for her, causing her heartbeat to fasten, she felt her face heat up as a blush came up her face, she chuckled as she spoke
"Looks like both of us are filled with unfulfilled love"
I didn't laugh at her words as I looked deeply into her green eyes, seeing it Grace tried to avert her face but I didn't allow it as I held her face with my hands, forcing her to look at me, I didn't say anything as I leaned forward for a kiss, mom looked a bit troubled as she placed her hands on my face to stop me
"No Austin, we ca-can't, both of us are mother and son"
"So?"
I looked at her questioningly as I spoke again
"So what if we are?, I don't care about anything else, I want you, I want your heart, your body, and your soul, I want every inch of your body to mine, I don't care about our relation, what I want is you, Grace"
My words caused Grace's body to tremble as she felt her heart prickle, she wanted to stop, yet her body wanted me, no she wanted to be mine, she was happy for my feelings but she was scared that being with me might ruin my life
"I know, I love you too!! but think about your future! everything you have could be ruined! it's better if we forget everything!"
I held both of moms hands as I looked at her face directly, I screamed as I spoke
"Do you truly believe that!, do you think that you would be happy if I was with another woman! I couldn't!, I don't want to give you to another man!"
"It doesn't matter what I feel, it doesn't! it won't work between us! it could ruin your life!"
"so be it! I don't want a life without you!"
Saying so I left her hand as I walked towards the end of the hill with a frosty face, seemingly ready to die, seeing it Grace paled as she rushed from behind me, she hugged me from behind to stop me
"Stop Austin!, what are you doing!"
"Don't stop me, I don't want a life without you!"
Hearing my words Grace's eyes moistened, she didn't know what to do anymore, she loved me, she loves me more than anything, she wanted to be with me, yet their relationship is a barrier that binds her back, even if she has feelings for me, acting on them is very difficult, it's at this time that I stopped struggling, Grace felt it as she hugged me tighter from behind
"Mom do you love me as a man?"
My voice was heard from the front, Grace hesitated before she spoke again
"I do"
"Then why are you afraid?"
I didn't let mom speak as I turned around as I faced her, I could see the tears in her pained eyes, I cupped her face as I spoke
"I know that you are afraid, I know that you think that I am young and don't know the consequences of our feelings maybe I don't but I know that I do love you and want to be with you"
"Don't worry all the consequences that came I will make sure that you won't suffer, I will protect you no matter what, I will be sure to treasure you and look after you, I swear that I won't leave you alone Grace"
My words were the last straw that broke Grace's defenses, bringing out the feelings that were being held in her heart, she leaped as she kissed my lips, our lips meet each other, I wrapped her body tightly pressing her body to me, her sweet rose scent filled my nose, our bodies trembled as the immoral pleasure-filled our bodies form the kiss
We kissed as we transferred each other's love to each other, we stayed in this position for a few seconds before we broke the kiss, I looked at her green eyes which looked at me tenderly filled with love, at that time a notification hit me
[
Name: Grace Lionheart
Love: 101%(forbidden love)
Remark: Well....You Are Fucked!

'What the! system whys there an extra one in the hundred!'
[What do you mean host?]
'what I mean is my mom the sharing kind or the holding kind'
[It's the 'I only will have you kind']
'Fuck my life.....'
I looked down at my mother who was looking at me, I could see a swirling deep emotion that seems to be awakening from deep within her, something dangerous seemed to be awakening from the abyss, a feeling that something which shouldn't be awakened has awakened
'What should I do now?'
[Well host, there is a primitive solution that many men have used in their life to save their life from such a situation]
'And what's that?'
[Run!!!!]
