Chapitre 57: Chapter 54
I kinda told my parents about Eden. But I guess that was too confusing for them.
"Let's not dwell on those. Moving on.."
"Clive, how did you get injured?" (Dad)
So that question arose. I guess I have to give them an answer. But how should I answer it?
"Aura, you're up."
I push that onto Aura. I mean, what should I answer?
I killed her on a whim and revived her so she beat me up….heck?!!!
Aura steps in front them and gives a bow.
"Hello, mother and father. I am Aura Belmont. Clive married me after everyone died and we just had a fight this morning. The scars of the fight is showing." (Aura)
"AURAAAAA!!!!!!"
I involuntarily shouted. Because of the outrageous story she told my parents, they are glitching. Literally they are glitching.
"Why did you lie to them?"
"Ara…isn't it fine? My daughter calls you papa. So it should be fine if you are my husband." (Aura)
"I don't get your reasoning. Hazel….put the knife down. When did you get the knife? And Fay…stop snickering and help me."
This became a bigger mess than it was before. I should have handled it. But Aura messed everything up. It will take some time to clean up this mess.
In the end, I explained everything. Then they calmed down. It went a lot easier because they have met System. So they understood it soon enough.
But the real reason why I brought them back is something I have been thinking for a while.
"Mom, dad, there's something I would like to ask? I know this isn't the right time to ask but I have been wondering about it for 7 years."
I don't know if they anticipated it or not but they became serious.
"I think it's fine. We should answer too." (Dad)
"Thanks. Then, why did you poison me that day?"
I remember that night. When my dinner was poisoned. I almost died but in the the end, both of them saved me. Why would you save me if you wanted to kill me?
"An impulse. That's one way to put it." (Dad)
"An impulse? Though I kinda understand it. Then why did you save me?"
"Because we couldn't see it through. Somewhere in our hearts, we just couldn't kill you. And the more you suffered the more we worried. Finally resulting in us saving you." (Mom)
So it was an impulse. Can't blame them. I guess this is one thing off my chest. I was about heave a sigh of relief but Hazel suddenly approached me.
"Master, what was that conversation about? You being poisoned…" (Hazel)
"It's something that happened 7 years ago. You don't need to worry about it."
I really don't want to tell her about the incident. Because even I think that I went too far in killing that guy.
"No. I need to know. Or you will do some reckless again. Come on Eden, you want to know too, right?" (Hazel)
Oi….don't drag Eden in as well. Now she is interested too. She is looking at me with puppy eyes. Don't look!!! If I look, I would tell everything.
But the pressure was on. And I could not win against Eden.
"Eden, what I am about to say might scare you a bit. You can also think that papa did something bad."
"No….papa does what he does. And he does it for a reason." (Eden)
"Eden, papa killed your mama without a reason." (Aura)
"No. Mama was looking to die in the first place at that time. So you didn't kill her unreasonably. She wanted to die." (Eden)
"Eden, when did you become so mature?"
I am honestly shocked. She is speaking of things so complex for her age that it kinda shocked me.
"I am papa's daughter after all. I will learn things too." (Eden)
She gave me a bright smile. However, I am feeling uneasy. Her mental age is progressing rapidly. Why?
(After her evolution, she became a princess. So some of your knowledge and mental strength will be transferred to her as well. The more you grow, the more she will grow.)
Isn't that a problem? What if she becomes an emotionless person like me?
(It won't happen so quickly. Only bits and pieces are transmitted. So she won't become like you. Don't worry.)
I see. That's good. But not too reassuring. I should think of ways to stop it as well. If her mental age exceeds her physical age by a large margin, she wouldn't be able to mix in with her age group.
It's very complex. But let's stop the monologue here.
I tell the story of how I ended up killing a guy. And how I became notorious. My parents kinda made a dark face.
"What kind of a mother am I? Becoming afraid of my own son?" (Mom)
"Mom, it's natural to fear the unknown. What you did was the right thing to do as a human being."
"But still, to think that we even resorted to killing you." (Dad)
"That's quite normal as well. You will try to avoid what you can't understand or try to get rid of it. You just did that. Besides, someone here has far more experience in being afraid of me than you."
I glance at Fay. She probably noticed my gaze.
"You yourself said it. I was afraid of you because you could do things which are considered miracles. You are either a god or a monster. That's why I was afraid of you." (Fay)
"This is probably the first time you said what was on you mind. But I like it that way."
"Master, don't get so chummy with her. Also, master's parents, I am the first person master saved. So I hope you will entrust me with master." (Hazel)
Hazel was pressuring my parents. Who is she? She isn't the Hazel I know. So I whack her head.
"Calm down. I haven't gone anywhere and I am not entrusted to you. You are with me. And let's have a talk after this."
She is slowly becoming a too complex character. Author, stop throwing so many qualities in a single character. This is an ordeal but even bigger ordeals await me. For now, let's celebrate my mother's birthday.
