~~~(Time: 7:41 AM)~~~
It takes a second to get my eyes open, but after I get the crust out, it's easier to get up. I make my way to the bathroom attached to my bedroom. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and it was one of the rare times I slept through the whole night.
As I leave bed and head for the balcony to look at the views, my thoughts about today's trip fill my head. Amelia is going to show me all the things she's been working on in the new lands acquired in the war.
After a few minutes of sitting on the balcony alone, a knock on the door leading outside grabs my attention, and I turn to see the butler.
"Angel Zern. Your Mother is preparing breakfast downstairs. Do you care to join us?"
It doesn't surprise me that Amelia is the one cooking. She cooked every day for those kids. And I don't see how that would change even though she lives here now.
"Yeah, I think that'd be a great idea. I've not had one of Amelia's meals in a long time."
The last time I had food that was cooked by Amelia was when I first met her, and she had me stay over at the orphanage. Speaking of the kids, I doubt she's going to run away and leave them alone.
Amelia isn't the type of person to do that.
The butler leads the way to the dining hall, and I see all the kids are present. Some are talking, and others are just starting to wake up. It's pretty early in the morning to some.
As I sit down, none of the kids are less distracted by what they're currently doing. That's something I like about kids. If they don't want to give you attention, they won't. And since they don't know how important I am, they don't have any interest in me.
They're all too young to understand anything regarding what I am and what I'm doing. It's a breath of fresh air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI look around the room, and I see maids and butlers watching me with nervous looks. They don't have the innocence of children, and, thus, know who I am.
Many would say that I have nothing to complain about, but that never stops anyone from complaining.
"Angel Zern... Would you like some coffee or tea while you wait for Lady Zern to finish preparing breakfast?"
Amelia's personal butler is someone that does his job well and keeps his composure no matter what, and I can respect that. But given his question it, gives me an idea.
"Actually, take me to the kitchen. I'd like to help my Mother make today's breakfast. It's not an opportunity that comes along often, after all."
He gives a humble smile and steps away from my chair to give me room to stand. He leads me to the door and to the kitchen.
"Son of a Bitch!!"
Before I can even open the door, there are loud crashes behind it. I look at the butler, and he just smiles and stays stoic. Regular occurrence then... I gently push the door open and see Amelia all by herself.
She turns her head to me as I enter, and at first, there is a giant smile. But she looks at the mess surrounding her. And she doesn't look that proud of herself.
"I'm sorry... It's been so long since I cooked for the kids that I forgot how much work it is... I've never worked in this kitchen, so I don't know where everything is..."
My assumption that she makes food for the kids was wrong. Wasn't the first time and won't be the last.
"Would you like some help with all this? It doesn't seem like something you can do on your own."
Knowing her, she won't accept the help. But I'm being polite in asking. Even if she says no, I'm still going to help her.
A long sigh escapes her, and I can't help feeling her exhaustion. She's probably been up all night. Typical Amelia... Doing more than what's required of her...
"Let me get some of the chefs to handle this... I don't know what I was thinking when I thought I could be the one to cook all the food when I haven't stepped foot in this kitchen before."
I'm honestly surprised to hear that. I guess she's learned to accept things more than I thought. She walks over to me and presses a button on the wall. A couple of seconds later, an assortment of cooks enters the kitchen.
"I apologize for thinking I could do all of your jobs on my own. Now, I hope all of you can take care of the mess without me. And still, make us all breakfast."
They all bow with a smile and start to clean up the mess and cook. We leave the kitchen, and we walk back to the dining room. Well, one of the dining rooms her this massive mansion.
The kids get excited seeing Amelia, and she spends time talking to each one as I watch. Amelia's butler stands next to me and watches too.
"All the kid's Amelia brought with her have grown on us... Sometimes, they can be a bit of a pain. But they make this place feel alive. I don't want to think about it if they weren't here."
There are some people that need human contact... People that need to talk to others or take care of another. Amelia is one of those people. I'm not. It's funny how different we are, and yet we get along so well. Sometimes, I wonder what my life would've been like if Amelia was my Mother.
She's my in-game Mother. The Mother of the Class that I'm using. It's part of the story that surrounds this Class...

~~~(Time: 8:28 AM)~~~
We finished eating a while ago, and Radueriel stands in the middle of the garden with his wings spread. He's got many names these days... He's known as Slayer Zern to the world, and Cera Adamo to those closest to him...
To The Almighty Father, to me, and to Michael, he's Radueriel Zern. A name that no one else knows. He turns to me with a smile and gets on one knee.
"You're riding on the back. It's more comfortable this way."
I do as my son says, and I get on his back. He stands straight up and flexes his wings before we launch off the ground.
"WAAHHH!!"
I can't stop the surprised squeal from coming out of my mouth. The little shit didn't give me a warning. He chuckles to himself as we cut through clouds and move around way more than necessary.
"A little warning would've been nice!!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead of answering me, he increases his speed even more and even dives. I scream like a little girl that's running from her Daddy when she's little, and they're playing. I'm holding on for dear life, and he speeds up even more.
"Open your eyes, Mom! You're going to miss the best part!!"
I slowly open my eyes, and I see what he means. We're high enough to be above the clouds, but we've entered a broken-up part, and the ground is visible. It's actually one of the best views I saw.
Last night I didn't look at any views because I was too focused on the things that Radueriel said to me.
"This is amazing!!"
There is no more holding back my excitement, and it's always fun when my son is here. No matter what, it's always making me smile.
