Lilyâs POV:
My mother looked a little tired. Alfred subconsciously waited for her. 1 didnât want to see her, so I entered the house first.
However, my mother quickly stopped me. She didnât take care of her precious son immediately. Instead, she showed some unusual concern for me. She intimately held my arm and led me to the dining room.
âLily, my poor daughter, you must have been frightened today. It was the Silver Moon Packâs negligence to let the criminals in. I apologize. Iâm sorry 1 couldnât pick you up immediately. I really couldnât leave. Someone had to host the ending, and I was the only one left then. You must be hungry. The kitchen has prepared a feast to celebrate the Moonlight Festival, just in time to calm you down.â
She said many things, leaving me no room to interrupt. When she finally stopped, 1 gently pulled my arm out of her embrace and said, âIâm fine, so I donât need anything. Grandpa and Alfred went to pick me up. The hot cocoa at the police station was delicious, so 1 wasnât too hungry.â
My motherâs face stiffened slightly due to my actions, making her exaggerated smile even more bizarre. However, she didnât say anything and was still very enthusiastic about me. She even helped me change the fruit tart before me to caramel pudding.
âPrince Yarin said you donât like fruits. Iâm sorry that I didnât notice this before. I hope itâs not too late.â
âThank you,â I whispered.
1 hadnât seen Yarin or any member of the royal family. My grandfather said Yarin had gone to the suburbs for a physical examination. He said he was sorry for not keeping my appointment and asked me not to be angry. He would make it up to me.
My motherâs eyes became increasingly emotional, making me a little uncomfortable.
âWhy would I be angry? Itâs not like itâs anything important.â I lowered my head to avoid her gaze. âThereâs no need for him to make it up to me. Thereâs no reason, and thereâs no need for it.â
âThatâs something you young people have to say in person,â my mother immediately added. âWe adults donât want to be third wheels, do we, Father?â
My grandfather did not say anything, and my mother seemed slightly disappointed, but she quickly said, âWhat a beautiful friendship, daughter. Prince Yarin cares about you very much. Iâm happy that you can make such a sincere friend.â
âKids can hang out with anyone. Maybe heâll forget about me when he returns to the Lycan pack in a few days.â
I didnât know if my thoughts were accurate, but if that was the case, 1 didnât want to go along with my motherâs wordsâthat was... disgusting.
My mother wanted to say something, but my grandfather interrupted her, âAlright, Teresa. Lily is very tired. Let her enjoy her dinner in peace.â
Only then did my mother reluctantly shut her mouth.
Dinner was finished in silence. My grandfather and Alfred would occasionally talk to me, but I had forgotten how to get along with them, so it was inevitable that it was silent. I didnât want to answer my mother even more. Sometimes, I really wished that 1 had x-ray vision so that I could see what was in her mind and why she would have such unrealistic thoughts.
But escape was no use. When I went to the bathroom, my mother followed.
She looked extremely loving in the mirror under the soft light, but it made my hair stand on end.
âI asked the police. They said that you werenât hurt. But i think itâs safer to do a thorough check-up. What do you think?â she asked.
I replied indifferently, âAnything is fine, as long as you donât mind the trouble.â âWhy would I find my daughter troublesome? Iâm willing to do anything for you, Lily.â She smiled. âI know what I did in the past made you feel bad. You donât want to be close to me. Thatâs fine. Children your age need some privacy. But 1 want you to know that Iâll always be behind you if you need me, okay?â
i didnât say anything. My mother didnât need my answer.
She was concerned about my life, my studies, and my relationships. She sighed and said, âLonely days are not good, dear. If you donât like your current school, 1 can help you transfer. How about the Lycan pack? It is the center of the werewolf pack, and the educational resources there are excellent. Many famous schools with deep history are not lacking in nobles and geniuses.â
âMaybe you can find like-minded friends somewhere, maybe... love? Hehe, young love is always pure and beautiful. You should enjoy it now, Lily. When you reach my age, true love will only be a topic of conversation.â
Are you referring to your marriage with Father? It is indeed a topic of conversation. The gossipers and even you treated it as a capital you can gain something.â
1 thought to myself, but I didnât say it out loud.
âThe current school is quite good. They allow me to take a long vacation. As long as I make up for my missed studies, Iâm very satisfied with this. 1 donât think the famous schools in the capital will agree, so forget it.â
I wiped the water off my hands and was about to leave.
I wanted to go straight to my room, but my mother insisted on talking to me. 1 didnât want to argue with her because of this. I was exhausted and just wanted a good rest, so 1 decided to give her a perfunctory reply as soon as possible before going back to bed to sleep..
