Chapter 116 Warmth Of A Mother

"My boy," Daphnia was the first one to break o the silence which surrounded them, she felt her heart being fulfilled seeing her son's handsome face.

Even though she volunteered to go back to the alliance, her mind was on Velian and her daughters. She wanted to be useful to Velian but the loneliness of them missing hit her so hard easily.

Daphnia quickly tried to run and hug him but by beating her, both Akiyo and Aiko took the privilege of being hugged by him.

"Brother, why didn't you take me? I could have been useful to you," Akiyo said looking at him with a determined face.

Unlike Velian who was not acting like he was a teen, both Akiyo and Aiko were going through their puberty.

Just like her mother Akiyo choose a sword and he really showed a promising future to both Velian and Asumi. Aiko followed the path of magic and she had become somewhat excelled in it but she was still learning from Daphnia.

"Aiko, you said you want to say something to him right?" At Akiyo's words, she blushed and glared at him.

"What do you want to say, Aiko?" Velian looked at her with a kind face.

"N-nothing, brother" Unlike Akiyo who gave a small hug showing bromance between them, Aiko was hugging Velian like a leech. There was no space between them as she kept hugging him.

"These kids! He's my son, I'm the one he mostly wants to see," Daphnia said with a smile on her face.

"Hehe~ mother, stop competing with these kids," Velian teased her to which both Asumi and Juno smiled.

"How grown up my son, now he's teasing me," She cried but all of them knew they were fake tears of hers.

"Anyway, good to see every one of you, I brought some sweets, I'll give them to you guys later," Velian wanted to talk with Daphnia but Aiko kept hugging him until Asumi grabbed her back.

"This girl!" Asumi couldn't help but laugh inside seeing her behaviour. She knew about her feelings for him and she totally supported them but Asumi didn't want her daughter to be too obsessive because she knew Velian won't have a single wife like a normal person.

"Aunt, I'll see you later, I have a lot to talk with you," Velian wanted to talk about road development and the future of this alliance, he wanted to give this whole alliance to her using his skill and boost her up but at the same time he had doubts inside his mind.

"Will she always stay loyal to me? What if she betrays me someday?" He didn't want to use nefarious methods with her because Velian considered her a family member but, he didn't believe her like Delvi or Daphnia.

"She has tons of reasons to betray me, what if someone kidnaps her children, what if she falls for money someday, it's true she's loyal to me now but in future..." His previous life experience sometimes became a hindrance. He knew that even the most loyal person can be changed because nothing was consistent in any world.

"Darling, are you okay?" Breaking him out of his stupor, Daphnia came close to him and gave him a warm hug. Her bountiful boobs landed on his chest giving him a comforts me feeling. He still recommended the taste of her heavenly milk he used to drink every day when he was a small kid.

"I'm okay mother, just planning some stuff for the future," Feeling her warmth, Velian felt all his worries go down the drain.

"Mother, can we trust aunt won't betray us?" Without keeping it inside Velian decided to take others' feedback this time.

"You mean Asumi, she's a very honest girl from the day we used to adventure together, I promise we can believe her, are you going to assign her something?" Daphnia wondered why he asked such a question.

"I thought of giving this alliance as her territory, we will join Cantrell and this alliance and start building our kingdom,"

"Our real enemy is getting really close to us, mother, the empire is coming and we need to be ready when the time comes," Velian told her with his face confronting in anger remembering the person who broke his sister and mother's heart.

"Empire... They really act like tyrants now," She still didn't understand why they were attacking other kingdoms breaking the peace treaty they had for years.

"Veli, you should be careful about demons too, this whole peace treaty was established when the great war happened so I get a bad feeling about all this," Daphnia wasn't even born when demons and humans fought back in the day.

"Great war? I heard about it but what do you know about it mother?" Velian didn't have that knowledge because he didn't have a book to learn about that.

"Even I don't know much about it because it had happened even before my father's generation but it's said that once demons invaded our continent and tried to occupy it but with the help of every kingdom and dwarf weapons, we managed to send them back,"

"Races like elves and beastkin didn't participate in this war, so humans don't have a great relationship with those two, but we are for sly with most dwarfs," Daphnia told him about everything he knew about the great war.

"It looks like I have to be more careful, humans might not be able to match me but, what about demons? I have no proper knowledge about them," Velian thought about visiting the demon continent but he abandoned it because it was too unrealistic with all these people relying on him.

"Whatever let's just relax for now, I will think about everything later," Velian looked at her mother, who had become more beautiful in these few months.

"How are you mother? Did you miss me?"

"Don't ask dumb questions, darling, there wasn't a day that I didn't miss you three, I wanted to run back to you but I stayed patient until you return," She said with a smile.

Juno was listening to everything bit when she saw they are bonding as a family, she tried to go back and meet some people in the alliance,

"Master, I will be in the training yard if you want me," Juno left after looking at them with a warm smile. She remembered her own parents seeing them.

"She looks a little different, did you do something to her?" Daphnia was amazed at her soft actions, she used to be a lot stiff and rude before so her new changes were easily noticeable.

"Hehe~" Velian looked at Daphnia with a smug smile.

"Don't tell me, you seduced her too," Her eyes were wide open.

"I seduced her," Without listening to her words, Velian said with a smile.
