Chapter 167: Call me ’mommy.’

******

Pov: Third Person

*****

“Mother, why do we have to have the meeting in this place, couldn’t we do it at home?”

“Eira, honey, so many times I tell you to call me mommy.”

“…Haah~, mo-mmy, good, happy, now answer me.”

“Honey, why are you so hard on your mommy, if you keep on with that attitude, I won’t answer you. Hummp!! (￣)3￣).”

“Hey, I told you to stop acting like a child too. You’re an adult woman with two daughters, please behave like someone decent.”

“Ahh!?, what is this I hear, is my little daughter ashamed of me? But Mommy is curious. Since when did you care about other people’s opinions? As far as I know, you always ignored them.”

“It’s not that! I-I’m just saying that because that guy might misunderstand and attack you like a ferocious beast, so act nice and don’t give him any chance to do anything kinky to you. Sometimes you act very vulnerable.”

“humm.., but I found out you started dating that same boy too.”

“What!!, Selene told you! I told her not to tell you anything yet? No, wait…..”

“Oh, dear, you’re a long way from hiding something from your mother. So, really, you did, did you? You started dating your sister’s boyfriend? Mommy is honestly shocked.”

“No, how the hell did you make the connections, You old hag, you cheated on me! Ouch!”

“mommy knows everything…,besides, Mommy loves you very much, but don’t call her an old hag or you’ll be punished.”

“…..”

“Well, I knew this would happen any minute.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You thought you were hiding it from Mommy. I know you liked him from the beginning.”

“What nonsense are you talking, who likes that guy? I’ll tell you, but I only became his girlfriend because he has a secret to make me stronger, no more, no less.”

“Hooo!, it’s like that!? Humm…., well, I think you’ve been in love with him ever since he gave you a good spanking…”

“H-How the hell do you know that… Shit!”

“See, I knew it. I knew it was the same guy. That guy is interesting, not only did he catch your interest like that, but then he started dating my other little girl, to finally keep both of them. He certainly has his ways.”

“Stop talking nonsense! Rather, how did you know what happened?”

“I was worried that day, and when you were in the bathroom I heard you muttering about a boy. Besides, there was a smell of ointment in the air.”

“Do you know what privacy is? And you still won’t answer me, how did you know about the spanking?”.

“Well, Mommy had to make sure you hadn’t been defiled. So, when you were sleeping, I snuck into your room and…”

“That’s enough!!, okay!, I understand. I don’t want to keep talking about this meaningless nonsense. I only brought him here so you can open Selene’s eyes and get her to break up with him. She doesn’t listen to me at all.”

“Oh, but what a sly daughter. You don’t want to share with your sister and you want him all to yourself. Mommy doesn’t approve of that behavior. If you both like it, you have to share.”

“…..”

As Eira thought, it was a bad idea to introduce her untrustworthy mother to that pervert. Her mother was just creating misunderstandings upon misunderstandings.

She definitely never liked that pervert… she definitely didn’t like him. He was only doing it out of interest, the same mother in front of her taught her that very thing.

“Rather, mother…”

“Mommy.”

“…Mommy, wasn’t it you yourself who taught us that love doesn’t exist and we should look for someone to benefit us, and that only if a miracle happened and we found something resembling love, we would have to support each other?”

“Oh, Dear… well, mommy said that, didn’t she? Well, forget it, love does exist.”

“….”

Eira knew her mother had a unique personality, to say the least, but she almost always gave reliable advice regarding love and such, like maintaining chastity and beating up any pervert that came near them.

While there were many things she didn’t agree with, that was one of the few that she did. And if her mother said something she wouldn’t normally say, it meant something. Eira searched quickly and came to a conclusion.

“Mother, don’t tell me that…”

Yes Eira had inherited that insight from her mother, though unlike her she didn’t jump to silly conclusions like liking that idiot….

“Oh dear, I guess I can’t keep it from you anymore, well I’ll tell you, since you’re a full-fledged adult, though lacking in some areas.”

“Hey, stop looking at my chest while you say that.”

“I wonder why you are lacking in that part. If I have good genes, at least selene….”

“get to the point”

“Ah, yes, what I was going to tell you, you’re all grown up now, so I’m going to tell you a secret. Your father is not your father, there, I said it.””.

“….”

“I know it might be a bit of a shock, but…”

“Hey, do you think I’m dumb? I was thirteen when you got married, I know obviously the Marquis is not my father.”

“ah!, so you knew? Humm, at least you inherited my intelligence. In compensation for that, which unfortunately you didn’t inherit.”

“You old hag, you’re picking a fight!”

“Oh, dear, Mommy just thought out loud. And don’t call me an old hag.”

“Ouch! But you started it, why are you hitting me?”

“Humm… motherly love?”

“Haaaaa! Well, get to the point, why did you suddenly bring it up?”

“The truth is that your mommy lately met a very special boy, and I was thinking about…”

“Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop, right there! Haaaah…, mother!”

“Mommy.”

“You know you’re married, right? What the hell is it you were trying to tell me just now?”

“That’s what I was getting at. As an adult you must understand that we adults have needs. You know, your father, the Marquis, is a good man who took us in, but still…”

“Mother, don’t tell me you’re having an affair with someone.”

“Well, honey, first let me explain. To begin with, the marquis and I didn’t marry for love, you know.”

“Yes, I’ve heard it said many times that love doesn’t exist, besides family. That’s why we should always be together. Stop making excuses, do you think that’s enough to cover up a damn infidelity?”

“I wonder who you got that bad language from. Well, you’re an adult and you’ll understand. The truth is, I went to the Marquis with the proposal to adopt them. You know, mommy knew they had talent, so the marquis, who had no heirs, was the person…”

“Mother, don’t tell me that…”

“Well, daughter, to put it strongly, I sold them. With my contacts I understood that the nobles were looking for talents and, well, he was a client at that time. And well, we all won, raigh? mami has her own business, the marquis has talented daughters, and you two are now nobles. humm! Mommy is smart.”

“눈_눈”

“Honey, don’t look at me like that, everything turned out fine. We got out of that hole, didn’t we?”

“You’re lucky that everything went well and that the marquis is a good man, and you still dare to cheat on him.”

“Well, ours was more of a contract, so I’m just his wife in name only. You know, we haven’t even done it in more than a…”

“Yeah, I get it, don’t talk to me about your private life, do whatever you want. It’s not like you’ll listen to me if I refuse.”

“What are you talking about, honey? To Mommy, you are the most important thing. Of course your opinion matters. Besides, if the marquis was a bad person, Mommy would know. Mommy has her own methods of knowing people’s intentions.”

“Well, that’s true. Well, that incident aside, it’s true that you’re someone reliable, and you usually make good decisions.”

“Also, just in case, Mommy was prepared with a poison potion from one of your aunts just in case. If anything went wrong, we’d escape after using it.”

“Hey, you know the marquis is one of the 10 strongest people in the kingdom and he’s the minister of defense, do you think a silly poison would work?”

“Well, mommy now knows. Tehee (╹ڡ╹)”

“haaaaaaahh…Let’s drop this topic already, I feel like it would just give me headaches…and Selene must be bringing him here right now. It’s too late for anything now, what difference does the place make? Just try not to say something silly or something. Judge him correctly. Use those great skills you supposedly have to understand men.”

“Well, honey, I won’t let you down. I’ll show you a mother’s dignity. I even brought my fan to give an aura of authority and put on my most imposing clothes. By the way, when do you think you’ll have time to meet your new prospective father?”

“Haaa, whenever. If the marquis doesn’t mind, I’ll meet this father you speak of.”

“Well, sweetheart, as compensation, I will scrutinize thoroughly to see if he is someone worthy of my pretty little daughters’ love. I’ll bat him out if he’s not worthy, even if he has the love of both of them.”

“I told you I don’t like him.”

“I wonder if you’ll ever drop that act, disingenuous.”

“Haaaah…. well, I do like it, are you happy now? Just drop that subject already. Besides, just and only just in case. Don’t do anything that could be misinterpreted, let alone seduce him directly.”

Eira felt it was best to agree with her mother who didn’t seem to give up on that point and agreed.

“What do you take me for, I would never seduce my little girls’ boyfriend! Besides, I only have eyes for one person right now. Even if he wasn’t, he’d be awesome. If he manages to win me over too, he’d have the whole family, right?”

“Hey, don’t say something so sinister.”

“By the way, hijita, what was that boy’s name?”

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you before, when I told you that Selene started dating a perverted degenerate?”

“Well, you know Mommy doesn’t have the best memory. Besides, at the time I was more interested in finding out if it was the same guy you were interested in,”

“Hey, seriously, I don’t even know how you connected the dots, how does your head work? Haaa, well, listen: he’s the son of a duchy knight and he’s absolutely someone suspicious, with a lot of secrets…”

“oh wait don’t tell me. Now that I remember…, your father, the marquis asked you to be close to a boy right?, is he?, in these days I heard that he was happy since you and sister frequented with him, what was his name?, Wi-Willian was like that right?…no wait now that I think about it that name…. .”

Plack

Just as Leyla was trying to remember that she had recently heard that name somewhere, and Eira was about to correct her by telling her that she wasn’t even close to getting it right, the door opened..

It was at that moment, when everything started to go wrong.

“Ohhhh!!!!”

Eira watched her mother ignore the dignity she had said she would maintain. She jumped up very quickly from the couch she was sitting on and hid behind the couch, hiding from those who came in.

“Mother, what are you doing?”

“Call me ’mommy.’ Besides, honey, I think Mommy screwed up,” She said as she slinked over to the nearby window with the intention of jumping out, an action so sudden and strange that even Eira had a hard time understanding it.

“…”

At that moment, Eira had a bad feeling that this encounter would not end the way she thought it would, not in the least.
