Chapter 44: Something Doesn’t Add Up

Arvell was quite confused with these developments.

'Why is Zen's mom referring to herself as my mother?'

'You're his sworn brother now, so doesn't that make his mom your mom too?' Lykos teased.

Arvell understood the concept in theory, but… He just met the woman today!

How was he supposed to call someone he just met 'mother'?

It seemed his performance was a little too believable…

Well, what happened, happened.

He needed to deal with the consequences.

"HMMPH!" Arvell struggled.

'I can't breathe!'

It seemed the consequences for his actions were life threatening…

Lienna seemed oblivious to Arvell's plight as she continued to smother him with her chest.

He continued to struggle, but Lienna didn't seem to notice it.

She was too caught up with her own emotions.

However, lucky for Arvell, Zen came to the rescue.

"Mother, you're suffocating him!"

Lienna snapped out of her daze and saw Arvell flailing around.

She immediately released Arvell and apologized.
