Chương 140: You are beautiful
When she first saw the woman appear from her mother's room, she instantly recognized her. Her mother finally had her youthful appearance back. Although it was only temporary, it still showed that it would be possible to completely regain it.
At first, she only felt happy for her mother, but then she realized that something was different, which shocked her to her core. Unlike before, there was now an aura around her mother, something she could feel as soon as she laid her eyes on her. She got the feeling that her mother was in control and if she gave her an order she would only be able to obey. This came from the combination of power and dominance, that she seemed to contain.
And this aura was something she had never felt before from her. Making her wonder what happened when she and Ivan were alone because it didn't seem as simple as her regaining her youthful appearance. Instead, there seemed to have something more changed inside her mother.
When the others realized, that she was staring at something, they too turned toward Celine. When they saw her there was a look of confusion on their faces. They hadn't seen her like this before and as such were unable to recognize her. Her transformation was just too drastic. Combined with the aura pressing down on them, she was completely unrecognizable for them.
"Mom", Lucia exclaimed, shocking the others out of their state of confusion.
After she exclaimed, she jumped up and rushed towards Celine.
Celine smiled happily when she saw her daughter running towards her with a happy smile on her face. It had been a long time since the two of them had smiled like this. Because of her situation, there was always some sadness in their smiles, which only they could perceive, since they managed to hide it well. But now there was nothing like this in their smiles. They just showed pure happiness.
"Mom, you are ok? You are all healed now?", Lucia grabbed her arms and excitedly asked, not showing any respect towards her mother and more acting like she was her sister or a good friend.
But Celine didn't have a problem with it, in fact, she liked it. It was much better to see her daughter be bold enough to grab her instead of being careful around her in fear of hurting her.
"Yes, I'm all better." She hadn't checked her base essence, to find out if it was completely healed but from how she was feeling and from the strength coursing through her body it should be.
"That's great, that's great.", Lucia hugged her mother with all her might.
Celine lightly patted her back, while hugging her back.
Meanwhile, the others had also stood up and waited for them to regain their calm.
"Wow, you look really beautiful.", Irena said in an admiring voice. "I'd never have expected you to change this much."
"Yeah, you are so beautiful now.", Jane chimed in as well. "Where is dad?", she then asked.
At the mention of Ivan, Celine looked embarrassed. "Um, something went wrong and he is now completely exhausted."
There was no way, she would mention what had happened between them. At least not to those assembled here. But at the same time, she wasn't able to provide them with a good explanation as to what went wrong, because she didn't know it either.
"Huh? Then what about going to the theme-park?", Jane asked, focusing on what was most important to her. From the way Celine acted, she knew that nothing bad had happened to her dad.
"I'm sorry. I don't think he will be able to go today.", Celine apologized. It was her fault after all.
"Oh.", Jane looked disappointed. She had been looking forward to going out to play.
Pia saw how disappointed the little girl was and hurriedly proposed, "We can go another time after Ivan recovers. So how about we all play here today? You can show us around and then propose a game, alright?"
Although Jane understood that she wanted to shift her attention, she accepted the proposal thankfully. Although they wouldn't be going to the theme park, meeting new people and playing here wasn't bad either.
"Alright. How about I'll show you around in the garden? It's great and there are lots of things to play with.", she grabbed Irena's hand and lead them outside. Leaving only Lucia and Celine behind.
The two of them sat down on a couch and looked at each other.
"It is great that you are alright now.", Lucia once again said. It seemed like she still couldn't believe it.
"Yes. I too never expected to recover so soon.", Celine agreed while leaning back, enjoying the comfortable couch.
"So what are we going to do now?", Lucia asked.
"What do you mean? Of course, we will stay here and support this family with all our might."
When she heard her mothers answer, Lucia sighed a breath in relief. She loved staying here. Everyone here was nice and she felt as if she was part of the family. And Jane had become like a sister to her. It was just that she had feard, that after recovering, her mother would try to get revenge for what had happened back then.
"That's great. I really love staying here."
"Mm, me too."
"So tell me, what happened? With how you are now, something big must have happened.", Lucia asked her mother. They had talked about the ritual before and she knew that the result couldn't come from the ritual.
"Well, ...", Celine hesitated at first but then told her daughter what happened, "At first everything went as planned. I told Ivan about the ritual and then we started. The problem happened after he accepted the spell to be cast on him. Something inside him reacted to the spell.
I'm not sure what exactly it was, for that we would have to ask Ivan, but after he reacted weirdly, things progressed further than I had planned."
Here Lucia interrupted her mother, "You mean the two of you did ....", she hadn't even finished her question when her mother blushing had already answered it.
"Wow, didn't expect you to take such a big step."
"Hey, it wasn't my choice.", Celine defended herself.
"Mmm", Lucia hummed disbelievingly, "But I'm sure you enjoyed it."
Celine was unable to refuse her accusations. After all, she had enjoyed it. At least after her body had changed and the pain was over.
"So what? Anyway back to the topic. At the start, something inside my body got changed. I really don't know how he did it. But take a look." She showed her daughter the info screen concerning her racial change.
After reading through it Lucia looked at her in astonishment. "Wow, it seems like you are way too lucky. You only planned to get younger temporarily and you found a way to stay young for a long, long time."
"Yeah, yeah. That's not what important. What's important is that my race has changed and it is a servant race."
"So what? From the description, you only have to serve one person and that is your master, Ivan. I don't think that is bad, in fact, does it change anything at all?"
"But you know how servant races are seen up there.", Celine protested.
"Yes, I know. They are treated like slaves and absolute trash, whom everyone in the master race can use as they want. And the other races look down on them as well.", Lucia agreed with what her mother had said. "But I don't think it is like this in this case. First of all, who would even know? And second of all, which other known servant race has such positive effects like yours?"
When Celine heard the two points she had made, she became thoughtful. Maybe she really had worried too much and it wasn't as bad as she had feared.
"I guess you are right.", she agreed.
"Of course I am.", Lucia said proudly. Because of the exaggerated pride, she showed on her face, Celine had to laugh.
"And besides that, there are more important things to worry about now.", she returned to normal and continued on.
"Huh?"
"Are you stupid? Of course, there are. Don't forget that you had sex with Ivan. Now your relationship has to change. There is no way that you could continue on like before."
"But it was already clear from the start that we would have to do it.", Celine protested.
Lucia let out a sigh. Her mother was really dense in this aspect. "Yes, it was. But the situation was kind of different, right? And don't forget that you haven't talked to Lara about it beforehand."
With Lucia's reminder, Celine understood something. She knew that although Lara and Ivan sleep on the same bed, they didn't have intercourse yet. And now she had done it with him first, making her wonder how Lara would react to it.
