We went downstairs.

"Sit" mom said, sitting on the sofa.

"What solution you came up with?"

"Silence!"

She is angry!

Elena's dad must have pissed her off.

"Angela, what did dad say?"

"He pissed me off"

Knew it!

"I am sorry"

"No need to apologize. He was like that ever since we were in school, but he always pisses me off"

"Mom"

"What?"

"Where is dad?"

"He went to the office after that. He will be late tonight"

"I see"

"And I got a call from Lirole"

"What did she say?"

"She moved to the palace, and Lier will be here till night"

"Oh! What about her luggage?"

"It already arrived in the morning" mom said, pointing her finger near the stairs.

"Oh!"

"How come you didn't notice it? What were you two doing in your room?"

"Nothing! Elena said she wants to come here, so--"

"I understand. But why were you two in your room? You could have just sat here, in the living room"

"She...yes! She wanted to see my VR gear"

"Is that true, Elena?"

Elena nodded.

Sigh~~

Mom sighed.

"Das, Elena. I want to ask you one thing. Answer me honestly"

"Mmm" I said, and Elena nodded.

"What do you think?"

"About what?"

"About the mess you have created"

"About the marriage?"

"What else?!"

"I don't regret it"

"Of course you won't! 'I don't regret it', you just have to say that"

"...."

"You can't act like that, Das!"

"....."

"Remember, I won't always be there to clear up your mess!"

"....."

"I ended up yelling at you again"

"Angela. It's not entirely his fault. I am at fault too"

"I am not angry about that Elena. I knew about the marriage rule. I am angry at him for being so carefree"

"Please don't scold him"

"It's not scolding. He is always like that. He always does things without thinking of the outcome"

"You are exaggerating, mom"

"Shut up!"

"I am sorry, because of me you two are..."

"It's not your fault, Elena"

"Fine. I will just get to the point. After discussing with your parents, we came up with a solution, and that is..."

"Is?"

"You two have to wait for one year"

"Why?!"

"Listen to me first"

"...."

"You both have to wait for a year. In other words, until you graduate from high school"

"What do you mean by wait? We can't meet each other for a year?"

"Did I say that?"

"You didn't"

"By wait, I mean that after Elena graduates from high school, you can live together or do whatever you want"

"Till then?"

"Nothing. Do whatever you want. You both are already married, so we can't stop you"

"Thanks, Angela"

"You should be thankful. Do you know what your father was saying?"

"What?"

"He wanted you to divorce Das"

"....."

"I barely made him agree"

"Thanks"

"Now listen Das"

"Yes?"

"How many people know about this?"

"Lier, and three players from LWO"

"And they are?"

"You don't know them"

"I asked who are they?!"

"Miss Serah, from my school"

"Hmm, I talked to her a few days ago. I will be meeting her soon"

"And two friends"

"Friends?"

"Yeah"

"Who are they?"

"The...info sheet you saw in my room"

"What--you mean those mafias?!"

"Yes"

"Are you kidding me, Das?!"

"...."

"Why are you interacting with mafias?!"

"They are good people"

"That's not for you to decide!"

"They are my friends"

"....."

SIgh~~

"One after another. You keep doing stupid things, Das"

"....."

"Fine. They are your friends. Now stop making that scary face"

"..."

"Elena, Das. No one should know about your marriage, okay?"

"Okay"

"No one means no one. I have to give millions to the officiant to keep his mouth shut"

"Can I tell Selena?"

"She already knows"

"Huh?"

"She was there too, in the meeting" 

"..."

"And she was supporting your dad and wanted you two to get a divorce"

'We have similar tastes' my foot!

"And one more thing" mom said, looking at me.

"Wh...at?"

"Cover your ears"

"Why?"

"I want to say something to Elena"

"I want to listen--"

"Cover. Your. Ears"

I covered my ears.

I covered them in a way that I can listen to everything.

"Elena"

"Yes?"

"Can you cover his ears properly with your hands?"

"....."

"Okay"

Elena got up from the sofa and got behind me to cover my ears. 

"Elena"

"Yes?"

Huh?

Elena is putting pressure on my ears, and they are fully covered. But I can listen to everything. What's going...on.

Is it also because of my system?

My vision and hearing ability did get better. 

"You are aware of Edens' family legend, right?"

"The 'Pregnant at twenty' one?" 

"Yes. So, Das has told you about it"

"Yes, he did"

"About that Legend, what do you think about it?"

"A legend is a legend"

"No, I mean. What do you think about that legend?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Are you okay with getting pregnant at the young age of twenty?"

"I don't mind getting pregnant"

"I see. You better be ready for it. This legend is unbreakable. Even if you use protection, or take pills, you will get pregnant"

"But you broke the legend, didn't you? I mean, Das is 18 so..."

Mom looked at me and then looked at Elena and said, "It was different with Das"

"What do you mean?"

"There is no need to know. Just keep in mind that you will get pregnant on or after he turns twenty"

"I am ready to bear his child"

"Whoa, you are carefree too"

"I am not. I just love him that much"

Sigh~~

"You are spoiling him too much"

"I know. But he spoils me much more than that"

"I see. And" mom looked at me and said, "You should be careful with other girls now"

"What do you mean?"

"He will soon be king. There will be countless women after him now, and unfortunately, one of them is my own niece, his cousin Lier"

"...."

"And on the top of that, she will be living here from now onwards"

"Okay. I will be careful"

I can't imagine what she will do if she gets to know that I married Lier too.

I gulped down in fear. 

"Remember, you are not his girlfriend anymore, you are his wife now. You have every right to stop him from looking at other girls"

"Okay"

"Though I know Das has no interest in girls"

I am sorry mom!

Please forgive me!

"And one more thing. Das will be visiting the palace tomorrow. He might not come to school until the final exams, or maybe not. He doesn't need to give exams anyway" 

"He will be back, right?"

"Yes, he will"

"Okay"

"You should go home now, your dad was sure you were here, and he was right"

"Okay"

"And call me if anything happens. I will help you. You are my daughter-in-law now after all" 

"Can I call you mom?"

"You can"

"Mom"

"One more time"

"Mom"

"One more"

What's going on?

"Mom"

"Can you say mom Angela?"

"Mom Angela"

"Now say Angela mom"

"Angela mom"

"This one sounds better"

"Angela mom"

"You can call me anything you want"

"Okay"

"Umm...are you guys done?"

Elena removed her hands from my ears.

"You didn't hear anything, right?"

"I didn't!"

"Good, now drop her off at her house"
