Chapter 132: Times up

Leona continued to stare at her son until she finally sighed. He was just like her husband, seeing how her stubborn son, Leona shaking her head. "Alright then, we'll start training tomorrow."

"Hahaha." Right after Leona spoke, Bastian suddenly laughed and approached his son. "Good, Good. Young warriors should be like that, full of passion!" While laughing, Bastian patted his son's shoulder hard and repeatedly.

But Bastian then stopped when he felt an icy sensation. He glanced at his wife and found her glaring at him; he withdrew his hand and glanced at his son only to find his son looking in pain.

"Son, you should say when it hurts." Bastian's tone sounded nervous; he then chanted a spell that made a greenish glow in his hand towards Desmond. "Look, honey, with this, our son will be healthier."

After finishing healing his son, Bastian hurriedly came out of the dining room. "I'm a little tired; it seems like I'll go rest first, honey." Before coming out, Bastian winked at his wife, who was still staring at him coldly.

When Desmond saw his parents' interaction, he sometimes could not understand how his father could fall in love with a woman like his and vice versa.

Every time Desmond saw this, he slowly felt the meaning of the word 'family, which he had not felt for a long time, reappeared in his heart.

But the feelings he felt were limited to 'nostalgia.' Even if his family died in front of him, he just wouldn't care. At least he would feel a little pain if it really happened.

The mafia doesn't know love; the mafia only remembers to redeem the debt they have. Mafia is not a hero who can save everyone, even the closest people. This is the teaching he got from his old life as a young master.

Without realizing it, Desmond had made up his mind and had managed to strengthen his faith. Desmond's change was also noticed by Leona. She realized that her son's gaze was slightly different this time, but she didn't know where it was different.

"Boy, you must be wondering how we can stay calm and joke even after escaping death?" Leona thinks that is why her son continues to stare at her husband even after he has left.

The words from his mother made him wake up; he then realized her words and became speechless. His eyes eyelid going up, and he turned to look at his mother. "Yes, mother," Desmond answered with a forced smile.

Although Leona still felt strange about her son's smile, she didn't think about it any further and approached him while stroking his head. "Come, let's talk in the yard." While walking towards the courtyard, the maids also followed them.

Seeing how his mother's treatment of him made something flash in Desmond's eyes.

It was only after they sat at a desk near the courtyard that Leona recounted how it happened that she and her husband passed through the hurdle to their child.

Desmond felt that his mother was exaggerating; every time she spoke, her hands would move tried to mimic the story she was telling; also, she even made each scene's sound effect.

For a while, while his mother was still telling him, he couldn't but look up at the blue clouds that were in the sky

Dragon Class, Aristocratic Technocracy Organization, Grimm suspicion, Guild, Mercenaries, and now the roaming Beasts Race. Desmond thought and returned his gaze to his mother.

Desmond didn't notice that his mother was looking at him when he looked up at the sky. You've changed a lot, Desmond. Thought Leona.

Every time she came home and saw her son, she felt that her relationship with her son was getting further and further. Not only that, but she also felt that her son, from the beginning, did not care about her and her husband.

Even so, mother still loves you even if you turn into a demon. Thought Leona.

Since Desmond was one year old, they had actually been suspicious of Desmond's fast progress, like a genius. Even Leona took time during her youth to chant a single spell, whereas Bastian, if it weren't for his hard work, maybe would just be an ordinary person at this point.

Leona speculates that her son changed because they leave him too long, and the change occurs since he committed his first murder.

She didn't even dare to imagine how her son would grow up and didn't expect him to be that bad. She believed that her son could at least protect his own family.

And without realizing it, Leona herself was carried away in the story; even Desmond, who was bored before, became interested.

Annie and Laura smiled unconsciously as they watched their young master's interaction with his mother. They were even touched, and this sight reminded both of them of their past.

"It's like in-home ..." Annie, who rarely spoke, suddenly opened her mouth, and her tone was warm and soft.

"Finally, you opened yourself up, Annie." Laura smiled at her friend; she even let out a few tears when she heard back the tone that she had long missed.

"Yeah, but I haven't forgotten how our lives were destroyed in just one night," Annie replied, this time her tone back to cold and expressionless.

"Therefore, we should be grateful that young master invited us to join this family." Laura paused for a moment; she looked at Desmond. "I hope the young master keeps his promise."

"I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw his growth, maybe it will work," Annie uttered; she still remembers where she belittled Desmond when she saw that was a child had saved their life.

After Leona finished telling her story, then she realized something important she wanted to discuss. "Boy, how can you live without money? I remember I didn't send any gold coins in the past."

This was the most important question, the first time she saw the new maids, the new wines, even her son's expression seemed like he was not short of money make her feel strange.

Desmond's expression was subtle upon hearing this question. "I ... sell .... our wine?" replied Desmond while pretending to be confused and showing an expression of innocence.

Leona widened her eyes; she immediately hugged her son and stroked her cheek against his cheek. Cute!

Desmond froze at his mother's sudden action. Does this include fooling her ?! His face twitched, and he remained idle for several minutes.

"You're a smart kid, yosh, yosh, it's fine. It's just wine." Leona, who saw her son's expression earlier, could not hold back her urge to hug; she also stroked his hair repeatedly

In the distance, Annie was seen blocking Laura by locking her hands. "Master ... young ... young master ..." Laura was like a drunk person, who seemed to devour on Desmond if not for Annie hold her now. Even a shadow heart-shaped reflected in her eyes.

....

On the next day, their life was happy like any other family. Desmond trains with his father in the mornings, in the afternoons, he is practicing a new spell by his mother, and at night Desmond watches the footage of today's practice.

Every time they practice, Leona and Bastian can feel a significant change in their son's body. Even the energy from his son became a bit strange.

Desmond has also been careful not to reveal his full energy equivalent to 2nd class wizard while practicing, or his physique has reached 1st class swordsmen.

The following days were relatively calm for the Desmond family; they walked around the square and even bought some new wines.

Despite having fun, Desmond still remembers his training. His mother also slowly began to realize that Desmond has more energy than the other children.

While his father was also aware that Desmond's movement not rigid again, he feels like he was facing a 1st class Swordsman. But they just ignore it and think that this is the effect brought by the geniuses.

Bastian and Leona also went to the king and reported details about the beast race, making Prime Minister Sanders happy that he had additional information on this matter.

At that moment, King Edward talks about Desmond, which makes Leona and Bastian surprised to find out that his son also befriends the king's daughter.

King Edward talked for a long time, making Bastian and Leona nervous; they even thought that this conversation would progress to the marriage conversation.

But luckily, King Edward didn't discuss marriage; he only stopped when his daughter said that she would take Desmond to the palace.

Bastian and Leona could even feel the atmosphere in the throne room becoming quiet and tense, but because of this, they can finally manage to come up with an excuse to return home.

And these days pass by, and three years have passed. A transparent screen appeared in Desmond view, showing the project about use item using nature energy has finished as well as his vacation which has ended because he this the time he will go into the academy.
