Chapter 527 A Mother's Determination
-----
The next morning, I woke up in the cabin I was sleeping with my family. And found my mother and my father awake, the two of them were preparing a meal. There were all sorts of new magic items around, a kitchen fueled by magic was here, and the delicious smell of food quickly woke me up. Mother was making fried eggs with bacon, and Zephy was right at my side in his cradle playing around with a ball.
"Good morning…" I yawned, looking around. "Ugh, I could barely sleep…"
"Honestly same, it gets me nervous to sleep in the sky." Sighed my father.
"I'm sorry about that. We should be arriving at the port city of Naturia Kingdom in a few more hours from now." Said my mother with a smile. "Dear come eat breakfast."
"Okay!" I ran to sit down near my father, as I greeted Zephy first, giving him a kiss in his big forehead.
"Awuuh! Wawahh!" Zephy seemed happy to be loved, as he moved his little legs around when he saw me.
"He doesn't seem bothered at all, in fact he slept well the entire night didn't he?" I wondered.
"Yeah he was oddly calm, perhaps the sky really calmed him down or something." My father said, giving me a kiss in my cheek. "Are you ready to meet the elven country? You're going to get surprised with everything you'll see."
"I am ready! More than ready in fact, super ready!" I said all pumped up.
"Alright, if you're super ready then eat your breakfast." Said my mother, caressing my hair.
She served me a delicious plate with fried eggs, bacon, freshly baked bread, cheese, ham, and milk with tea. It was big feast for this morning, she wanted us to have our bellies full for what was to come.
"And… I need to talk with everyone about something right now…" Said my mother.
"Something?" Asked my father. "Sure, what is it?"
"Well…" My mother sighed, as she explained to us what I heard her talking with her sister.
"I know, I know it is unfair that they might not treat us well but… I don't want some few insults to become something worse, please, Allan. I am telling you in specific, because I know Sylphy is smart enough to understand, but you have to keep yourself calm." Said my mother.
"I mean, I knew this would happen. I am not as clueless as you imagine me being, Faylen." My father sighed.
"I-I don't think you're clueless dear, I…!" My mother was interrupted by my father.
"It's okay, I understand. I won't step ahead of myself." My father said. "Despite being regarded as heroes, that's more like something for the masses, nobles know we are just frauds, and they probably have no problems insulting us if they really want to, especially me and Sylphy and Zephy, who are outsiders… If I get too angry and end up slicing in half one of those pricks we might end up neglecting our new home, risking the lives of all the people we brought here. Nobody would take it lightly if I did something like that, I am aware."
"I am glad you understand." Said my mother. "However, I didn't meant it that way."
"Huh?" Me and father looked back at mother with surprise.
"Wait, how did you meant it then?" I asked.
"Yeah…" My father nodded.
"What I meant to say is that you simply have to leave it to me. You might not have the right to speak back to them or they would make a whole drama about you and might use this opportunity to ostracize you and everyone involved. I know those bastards. However, it is different with me. I am a princess, and also a heroine. I have the power of all the elves masses as they admire me as their representative, and also I am a Saint, literally." My mother said, her eyes were shining with determination.
"I might had been bullied and abused before what happened, but now I've become someone different. I've become a mother, above all. And one with enough power to go against my own grandfather, the strongest sage in the entire continent of Atlanta, and even more my own father. I believe I can handle it. My father might be a bit hard to convince, but I'll do everything I can to change his mind."
"Are you sure?" Asked my father.
"Leave it to me honey." My mother nodded with a smile. "We'll get ourselves a territory to live in peace and we'll settle down there without bothering anybody nor being bothered by anybody either. We'll live peaceful there and wait for the years to go by, until Sylphy has to go to the Academy with her friends."
"Sounds like a plan I guess." Said my father. "But what will we work into?"
"I will open an Workshop and an Alchemist Shop, should be more than enough for our expenses." Said my mother.
"I guess the only thing I am good at is hunting, so I could bring you monster materials and sell the rest in the adventurer guild, while keeping our town safe, killing two birds with one stone." My father decided.
"Sounds good to me." My mother agreed.
I guess the two of them had it all figured out already… I just hope that things go well as mother said. I am praying for her success. I know my mother can be grumpy sometimes, but that grumpiness might be her strength. She's a stubborn and ferocious lady now, unlike the timid, shy, and depressive woman she always said she used to be deep down.
She had truly changed after becoming a mother… after becoming my mother and that of Zephy. I guess she can't simply go back to how she used to be at all now that she got two kids to protect. Even if she wanted nothing to do with her family, she decided all of this just for us…
My mother is the woman I admire the most.
