Chapter 54: Chat with parents!

"The students who entered through the same crown as you along with the two professors and the headmaster are under the surveillance of the Elite force. As for others, then I have put them under close watch to not let anything slip up."

Seth was slightly taken aback hearing that his mother deployed her elite force which was on top of her arsenal for something as small as spying on those people.

The Elite force Albeck Duchy is not only composed of special soldiers who other than possess high-tier talent, but are also directly trained by the Duchess.

They were the backbone of the defense and Valarie takes pride in possessing such assets under her command.

"It's rather confusing why you asked not to hurt them. It would have worked quicker that way."

Seth was aware of his mother's twisted nature and how possessive she is when it comes to the things she adores.Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

The reason he simply conveyed that, was because of the protagonist.

Seeing his friends getting interrogated, Arata would have rebelled despite knowing full well his chance of winning. And in the end, no one knows what might have concluded.

Either Arata had to flee or he would have died. And either case was a no-go, taking the world's future into consideration.

Seth had grown confident in his skills but saving the world was something he finds tedious and out of his league.

He won't save the protagonist by going out of his way but Seth wanted to not become the reason for Arata's downfall if possible.

"I suspect the culprit is rather complicated and directly putting them under the pressure of questioning might have led to futility. It's better to keep an eye on them first and see where it leads."

"Isn't it strange, baby?"

Without even realizing Seth was resting his head on his mother's lap, who within a fraction of a second walked to the bed and adjusted both of them in such a position.

Her blue eyes were starting straight, unfocused, as she spoke her curiosity out.

"From what I have heard, your first love and now ex-fiancee was enchanted by one of the boys I met in the Temple. Yet, my baby is not taking any action against him? Questionable indeed."

"That reminds me. The end of this week is your anniversary right, mother? Why haven't I heard about any preparation?"

"Because your parents are more worried about your health rather than celebrations."

A new arrival didn't surprise the mother and son duo since they sensed Christopher approaching.

Seth was reminded of the anniversary just because he felt his step-father's presence nearing. And so he asked.

"Cut that crap mother. I am not dying here to cancel such a big occasion. I need a banquet and every other preparation as it was planned or else I would leave the villa the very next day."

Valarie panicked slightly since she was aware that Seth was in no mood to joke. Or more like he never does. But it would not make her feel good to celebrate the occasion when Seth was involved in such an incident.

"But Seth, think from your mother's perspective as well. How can she smile without faking it in front of others when her son is in such a condition."

Christopher voiced exactly what Valarie wanted to convey. And Seth was also aware of his mother's dilemma which made him sigh in resignation.

Holding her hand fondly, Seth made her look his way before he spoke in a much softer tone.

"I am fine now, mother. I was really looking forward to this event and had refreshed my moves to share a dance with my mother as well."

His melodious voice and the gaze he directed made Valarie even more complicated as she pondered what she should do.

Christopher sensed the whirlwind of thought in his wife's head when he suddenly put a hand over her shoulder and landed the final nail.

"It would be the best opportunity to invite 'them' as well."

Seth was a little out of character but well it was his family so I thought this much was given.
