Chapter 81
Aiden seemed calm at the moment.
Maybe I can’t say I’m in a good mood, but it’s definitely not a bad mood.
Perhaps he noticed it from the two pixels that moved up at the corners of Aiden's mouth.
A'mo sighed resignedly and made some noise with the pages of the book.
Sure enough, Aiden looked over.
His expression was clear: if you have to fart, do it quickly.
A'mo began to report what happened today one by one.
Finally, he said, "She's very well behaved. When we were in the hospital, I thought she would be frightened and cry. You know, after all, she looks so small, she doesn't really look like an Etherian. But she is so brave. You know, she stood in front of me at that time, shouting for her spirit to protect us.
So this is what it feels like to have a child.
Did Mother look at us like this back then?"
Aiden looked at him quietly without saying anything.
Ah Mo couldn't help but raise his voice: "Are you still insisting on your idea?!
"She's fine, she hasn't done anything wrong! She hasn't made a mistake yet, and I think she probably never will! She's such a good child!"
"Really? Then tell me, Americus, why did you suddenly lose control of your mind today? How did a mere A-level cause you to almost have a mental breakdown?"
Aiden stood up and looked down at him.
Americus clenched his fists.
"Is that her fault? She's only three years old."
"Are you going to wait for her to be like us?"
Amer heard Aiden scoff.
Aiden rarely smiled as far as he could remember—at least not since he was an adult.
When they were young, Aiden was the one who matured the fastest among them.
So everyone trusts him.
A'mo also agreed with this. Even if the sky falls, Aiden will still be there to support it.
However, for the first time, he felt powerless because of Aiden's rationality and maturity.
"Americus, when you were five years old, you secretly followed your elder brother to go hunting. An overlord bit you and lost one of your arms. You cried all the way back.
She was two years younger than you were at that time, and she was already able to stand on her own on the Zerg-infested streets of the garbage planet until someone came to pick her up.
Americus, in the future, her mental strength will be far stronger than you and me.
She will collapse in endless pain sooner than we will."
Ameris thought of Derian, who was a very good brother. When they were young, Ameris and Derian had the best relationship.
Adrian was also the first to die, at the age of 19, the day before he fully entered adulthood.
"But...she also has the right to live.
Please, brother."
"Rest in peace would be the best outcome for her."
Aiden looked at his brother, who was much younger than him, almost with pity.
As the youngest, he could be naive and inconsiderate. Americus was more vulnerable than the others.
"Mom would definitely scold you if she knew."
"Really? That's a shame, she's already dead."
Aiden lifted Americus's chin and made him face him.
"Father killed her with his own hands."
"We are destined to kill the ones we love most."
"The more you love her now, the more sorrowful it will be for you to say her goodbye in the future."
"Americus, don't ask me to kill you then."
The study became quiet for a moment.
Aiden saw Amer close his eyes sadly.
Before the former queen died, she loved this child the most because he was much younger than his brothers and sisters. When he was a child, A'mo followed the former queen for a long time and acted as her little tail.
When A'mer entered his first rebellious phase and refused to talk to anyone, the former queen felt very sorry.
That day, Aiden was passing by the garden when the former queen called him.
When Aiden saw that the tail was missing, he couldn't help but take a second look.
The queen said that A'mo wanted to be independent like you.
Aiden shook his head in disbelief. He sat across from the tea table, sipping tea and reading a report.
Sure enough, not long after, A'mo came running over angrily to complain.
Telling tales is a child's privilege.
The queen took him in her arms and squeezed his face.
A'mo hesitated for a moment, but still let the queen pinch him generously.
A'mo ran away again.
Aiden was also about to leave, and the queen waved at him. Aiden walked over without knowing why.
The former queen plucked a fallen flower from his shoulder.
At that time, he was busy learning all kinds of things, big and small, running from one court to another, dealing with different old foxes.
The queen might have wanted to touch his head, but it was obvious that Aiden had grown a lot taller, so her hand stopped in mid-air.
The queen did not sigh. She was a very good person and a very good mother.
She just smiled and said, "Aiden has grown up too."
Like an ordinary mother, she reminded Aiden to go to bed early at night and not to be too busy... Let Ivo handle the imperial affairs by himself and don't let him be lazy.
Finally, she said, "Don't be in such a hurry to grow up. Your father is just anxious to retire. He still has many years of work left in him."
The boy's body grew taller like a bamboo shoot. The Eselans always grew very fast during their growth period, so they all looked thin.
The queen felt sorry for her youngest son, and also for Aiden, who was only less than ten years older than Amer.
Aiden heard his own voice say "Hmm".
The queen laughed and patted his arm as she had done when she was a child.
At that time, the garden was still planted with the former queen's favorite laurel trees, and every autumn her mother would brew mead with her own hands.
No one died that year.
Perhaps A-Mo's biggest worry is the growing pains after entering puberty.
"I'll let her live until her first adult uprising."
Aiden turned around.
"This is what you asked for. You are responsible for keeping an eye on her."
......
When An Zhi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and light was pouring into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
She stared blankly at the intricate patterns on the ceiling for a while before she reacted.
This wasn't the Light Chaser, nor was it some hotel room—she was already in the palace.
An Zhi slowly climbed up from the soft bed and pulled open the heavy curtains with her small hands. What came into view was a lush green mountain range. No wonder she felt like she had been walking for so long yesterday.
The Capital Planet's tourist brochure states that the Etherland Palace is vast, encompassing the Danen Mountains before them. The mountains are rich in natural resources and teem with wildlife.
As soon as An Zhi opened the bay window, a few birds chirped and landed on the windowsill, tilting their heads to look at the tiny figure.
An Zhi thought for a moment and called Gugu out.
She found a soft cushion and carefully placed Gugugu by the window, letting it bathe in the morning light.
[Mushrooms need to absorb the power of the sun's essence here! ]
[Mushrooms are a form of spiritual energy and cannot be pecked away by little sparrows. If you leave too far, the mushrooms can return to your body at any time.]
While brushing his teeth, An Zhi listened carefully to Gugu talking about what he needed to level up.
