"That he doesn't need you anymore"
"What do you mean?" Angela turned around and said, "I never wanted to prove that to papa"
"You did, you wanted him to stop nagging you about every little thing. You wanted him to stop worrying about you. Did you forget how many times you threatened him that you would leave and run away from the palace?"
Angela took a sip and said, "I had realized it a long ago"
"You know, if you keep nagging him about the things he does, and scolding him, he will say the same"
"You mean…", Angela's eyes widened.
"Yeah, he might run away from the house"
Angela hugged herself and said, "You are kidding. Das would never do that"
"He hasn't, yet. But he can do it"
"I don't think so"
"Ange," Daulla sighed and said, "I know Lil Das better than you and believe me, he is just like you. If not, then worse than you were, and that's just because he is a boy"
Angela placed down the half-filled glass on the table with force, making a loud noise that echoed through the room.
"Daulla!, Don't act like you know him better than me"
"But I do"
"No, you don't"
"I have raised him, so it's obvious that I would know him better than you"
"I am his mother!"
"You didn't care about him until Queen Layla died ten years ago"
"That's because I was busy with my own stuff. You know everything. I didn't even have a chance to meet Derek either"
"No time to meet her own son and husband"
Angela sighed and said, "I know that I am not a good parent, but I am still his mother. And believe me, raising him from a kid to a teenager was much tougher, "
"Maybe, or maybe not"
"You don't have a son, so you won't know how hard it is to be a mother"
"I don't, but I am sure I would have been a much more better mother than you. Even Lady Lirole is a better mother than you. She has a mother-daughter relationship with Lady Lier, and they are so cool with each other, unlike you and Lil Das who barely talks"
"Is that so?" Angela's face twitched as she said, "Then how about you become his mother?"
"I am not interested in becoming his mother anymore. You should have given him to me fifteen years ago. Maybe we would have a relationship like a mother-son. But it's impossible now"
"I get what you mean. You want me to give him some freedom, right? Alright, I will give him freedom"
"That's not the only thing he wants. You still think he is a kid, needing parenting. But you are wrong, he doesn't need you"
"Every mother worries about her child"
"They do, but…", Daulla scoffed and said, "I don't even know what I am trying to say anymore. Maybe it's just my affection for him getting in the way"
"Daulla, answer me one thing"
"With p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e"
"Out of all the years you raised him, have you ever thought of him as your son or his mother?"
"I would be lying if I say I didn't, but that was until he woke up. Everything changed after that"
"Maybe if I had realized everything sooner, things would have ended differently"
"If you hadn't played that V. R game, things would have ended much more different, and everyone would have been happy"
"Even if I hadn't played, everything would have been the same. Don't forget that I only played it because you and Derek challenged me"
"I remember that. And I still haven't forgiven myself for that. If something had happened to you, I would have killed myself"
"Ah!", Angela scoffed and said, "There you go again. You should seriously stop this threat, you know? It holds us back"
"But that's the only thing that works on you; mother and son"
They both stared at each other and grinned widely.
"For a moment, I thought we were still a teenager"
"You are not, but I am sure a teenager"
"Are you trying to pick a fight?"
"I am just telling the truth"
Angela laughed and hugged Daulla, "My fights with you never end well"
"Daulla hugged her back and said, "No matter how much I enjoy my time with you, we are different now"
Angela bragged Daulla's face and c.a.r.e.s.sed, saying, "I am really glad you are here", and kissed her forehead.
"I am here, but not for you. I am Lil Das's property now"
"You keep hinting your relation with him"
"Then you should get the hint"
"I am just afraid to accept it. If it really turns out what I am thinking, our relationship will shatter"
"I am prepared for that"
"Maybe you are, but not me. Das still needs guidance. I don't want him to end up like papa"
"I will take care of him"
"He is the last male heir alive. He will be targeted by many"
"Leave him to me"
"I just want him to have a normal life"
"As I said, leave him to me"
"When the times come"
"Ange", Daulla grabbed Angela's hand and squeezed it with her both hands, saying, "You have done enough. Leave the rest to me. You can take it easy"
"I was taking it easy. And see what happened? How am I supposed to be at ease now?"
"He is strong. Believe in him"
Even though Daulla was saying, she was more worried than Angela.
"Where is Lil Das?"
"I don't know. I didn't see him after the funeral. I went to the garden after the funeral. He must be with Lier"
"Lady Lier has grown into a strong woman"
"Yeah. I would have never imagined that crybaby Lier would grow up to be such a strong person"
"She reminds me of Queen Layla"
"Lier might become the strongest female Edens in history"
"Maybe, but you are forgetting his first wife"
"Elena," Angela said with a distant smile.
"History is repeating itself again"
"Maybe they were just meant to be together?"
"Elena, her sister, Lier, and Gracie; the daughter of Doctor Goodwin. They have all met again. Maybe things will end up happily this time?"
"It should. I don't know about others, but Elena and Selena, they have always fought for every little thing. Even Rebecca was losing her cool on them"
"Rebecca rarely gets angry," added Daulla.
"That's what I am saying. Elena and Selena are like the same side of the same coin"
"It should be 'Elena and Selena are on different sides of the same coin', no?"
"Not in this case"
"It's a miracle that they are getting along now"
"They suddenly started getting along after their stay at the palace"
Both Angela and Daulla talked about their past and reminisced.
They would start crying after remembering something sad and laugh when they talked about something funny. Hours passed by and they were still talking.
"How many years has it been since we talked like this?", questioned Angela.
"I don't remember. We never had a long talk after you woke up from your ten-year-long slumber six months ago"
"We should talk like this more often", suggested Angela.
"If we get time, "
Daulla got up and said, "I will go back to my room"
"No need to make excuses, I know you are going to look for Das, "
Daulla chuckled and said, "Like mother, like son"
Daulla walked to the door and--
"Daulla", Angela called out to her.
Daulla turned back and said, "What?"
"Can you send Lirole to my room?"
"Sure"
Daulla left the room and headed to Lirole's room.
After reaching Lirole's room, she noticed that the door of Lirole's room was open.
Daulla peeked in before knocking and said, "Lady Lirole? Can I come in?"
No reply from the inside.
"Lady Lier, are you there?"
Still, no reply.
"Lady Lier, I am coming in"
Daulla walked into the room, only to find Lirole sleeping on the bed.
Daulla smiled and walked to the bed.
"Only if she is this cute when she is awake"
Daulla picked up the blanket and covered Lirole under the blanket and brushed her hand on Lirole's head.
"Sleep well, Little sister"
Daulla left the room and closed the door.
'I will drop by Ange's room and inform her that Lady Lirole is sleeping', Daulla thought as she passed by Lier's room.
"I haven't seen Lil Das since he left with Lady Lier"
'Should I check on Lady Lier's room?, Daulla thought as she turned around and made her way to Lier's room.
She knocked on the door, but there was no reply.
'Is she sleeping too?"
"But Lil Das should be with her"
She gasped and thought, 'What if Lil Das and Lady Lier are doing…', she shook her head and said, "Lady Lier must be sad, even if they are doing it, I shouldn't mind"
Daulla turned around and muttered, "Not like I have any right to stop them".
She stopped by Angela's room on her way and informed Angela that Lirole was sleeping.
She tried calling Das only to find his phone in his room.
After strolling around the palace and the garden, Daulla got in the car and drove out of the palace to look for Das.

Hey guys, some important announcements.
1) My exams start tomorrow, and I have to travel 40 + 40 KMS every day to go to the nearest exam center.
-So the chapter uploads might be slow for the first half of this month. Or maybe not. I am not sure about that.
-If I get some free time to write, I will post the chapter.
-Since the exams are offline, much of my time will pass just by traveling from my exam center to home every day.
-I haven't studied anything, and I planned to pull an all-nighter a day before the exams, and I will do that. But I won't have time to write chapters.
-But if I make some time, I will post chapters. I think I will make some time, but I am just informing you in case I don't upload.
-Please keep supporting me. And once my exams end, we will go back to 2 chapters per day release.
2)The second announcement is, the name/title of this novel will soon change to, "The King's Mandate: Anomalous System", in a few days.
-So in case, you can't find this novel, don't panic. Nothing else will change, only the title.
-Thanks for reading and I will see you in the next chapter.
Happy New Year To You All! I Pray That You Have a Great 2021!
