The Eternal Family



Smiling through his slightly parched throat and his tears leaking through his face, Harry stutteringly said, "Mom, I'm crying."

Emma nodded and combed his bangs away from his face, and kissed his forehead, "Crying is fine. You just have to remember, your sister, our third family member, is still not yet with us. It's much better if we all cry together after we get her, right? I know we each have our doubts, inhibitions, and such to talk about. I don't even trust your Gift now, you know? It was probably the reason you went into a coma, right?"

"My gift? Heh, we will talk about that later; it's quite a huge laughable joke, Mom," pausing and trying to rub his tears away, only to get his hands smacked away by Emma. He continued, "I know Lilly's trouble comes first for now. But do you know what thought is currently running through my head?"

Rubbing his tears away with her wrist, Emma curiously asked, "What thought, dear?"

"The thought that not even an illusion of my ideal Woman can't probably ever match my mother," Harry said, his heart completely saying good riddance to the troublesome itch that the tribulation left. It didn't matter if he acted as Ace or Harry infront of Mom, infront of her, he could just be him.

Emma's heart skipped a beat, a smile tugged her lips to a curve

"That's a unique compliment," she said, that lovely smile brightening the room as she looked at his clean face, 'Ohh… so cute~'

"So, now, finally, tell me about sister's situation," Harry asked as he kissed her wrist.

"I think it will be better if we wear some decent clothes and get fresh before we speak; we are changing the subjects too much like this…." Emma sighed, he kissed her again.

"No need," Harry said with a chuckle. Thin straps of clothing started to mend themselves on his body, kneaded thread by thread, clothes started to get created out of thin air, and in just a second, he became completely dressed in yellowish-blue pajamas, and Emma watched in Awe as the same happened to her; now, they were completely dressed and…quite clean.

"What ability is that?" she curiously asked.

She already knew about lustful absorbtion from Lilly, but who did he absorb this ability from?

Sitting up on the bed, he answered, "Its a long story, but my sister is more important. So tell me, what happened to my Lilly?"

Emma nodded, Lilly was the one truly more important.

"The thing is, when you fell into Coma one day, that brat came up to us, and in a slip-up from Lilly, she revealed some kind of relationship between you. I didn't know the details then, but now that you mentioned you guys did it with each other…he probably figured it out."

"So, then everything is due to monkey guy, what did he do exactly?"

"He brought trouble," Smiling, Emma said with a chuckle, "He was probably too ashamed to mention he wanted a girl who was already bedded, but the king came in and made Lilly move in with your grandma. He said he didn't want her to fall in love with you or do something stupid to save you….it was meant to make her decide to marry him one day, I guess…."

"Grandma?!" Harry's face abruptly paled, "She's with our grandma now?"

"Yes?" Emma frowned. What was up with him suddenly?

"No…" Looking at Emma and then calling the system, he asked aloud, "What are the chances the first king really tampered with Valeria's Mind?"

[…80% or above.]

'There is a high chance Lilly is in true trouble!' Harry's thoughts flickered about as he looked around. He was panicking slightly, but his thoughts were ever sharp.

"Who are you talking to?!" Emma asked, creeped out and rather terrified by his reaction.

Standing up from the bed, "We have no time, Mom," he said and ran.

Opening the door, he didn't care about anyone seeing him as he sped past the maids; Emma followed him right behind, her heart beating out of fear; she tried to catch up with him, but suddenly, his speed increased five-folds, and he ran faster.

"Use all the remaining points on strength and defense equally,' he coolly said to the system in his mind, his focus entirely on Lilly, on Valeria's room.

He didn't even remember that he had to increase defence first before improving others or there would be severe issues. Luckily, his system wasn't dumb and added it accordingly.

He passed by a butler and shoved him to the side as the door became visible,

'Make my Active Abilities into Jade transformation and enhanced vision.'

His vision expanded, and the door became clearer.

Taking its handle, he abruptly opened it.

Lilly and Valeria looked at the door, gobsmacked as the biscuit in Lilly's hands fell on the tea. Her mouth wide open, she looked at Harry, his gait majestic, his left hand holding a jade machete…

Emma came running right after, her heart beating; she looked at Lilly, and her eyes brightened. She looked at Valeria, who was staring at Harry with a frown.

Harry looked at Valeria and suddenly felt like cursing himself, for fucksake he exposed himself to the world for no reason…

Stumbling, a petite figure fell into his embrace. He looked; Lilly was shiveringly yet tightly hugging him.

He smiled…

He didn't have to beat up some young master before getting back his woman. He could beat them after getting his woman.

Valeria's frown deepened for a second before it melted and got replaced by a gentle expression, Emma silently entered the room and sat beside her, taking lilly's cup, she crossed her legs and looked at her children, hugging and raining each other with Kisses…

"Hey, Mother," Emma called.

"What, daughter?" Valeria asked while sipping her tea.

Emma took a sip of her own and asked, "You see those two scoundrels?"

"The ones who just started kissing?" Valeria asked with a smile.

"Yes them."

"Oh, I can see them pretty clearly."

"They are my beatiful children," said Emma with a proud smile.

Valeria smilingly sipped her tea.
