The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 939 A Good Mother-In-Law

"Oh?" Abby suddenly stood up from where she was standing, moving her hands around nervously as if looking for a place to hide them.

However, Dillian's laughter suddenly distracted that woman from her nervous moment in front of her mother-in-law. "Hahaha, the young master and young Abby have been engaged for months now, Miss Maisie!"

"Not only that, the young master may sooner or later become a father!" He said while playing with his black mustache, remembering a conversation he had had with Minos.

"What?" Maisie's eyes widened in surprise.

As for Abby, she just yelled at that man, feeling embarrassed. "Butler Dillian!"

'That shameless Minos! How can he talk about such things with other people?'

'Now I'm in that situation!'

Maisie then looked more closely at that woman, feeling some of her son's aura in Abby's body. "It seems that's true..."

"You two truly want that? Aren't you afraid it's too soon?"

Gulp!

"Yes, we do." Abby began to speak with her head down. "But unfortunately, we haven't had any luck yet..."

"Sigh..."_{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

"What a troublesome young man!"

"Dillian, do you think this will work out? Haven't you tried to convince him otherwise?" Maisie asked that individual, speaking in a tone that Abby could not hear her.

And that man with the pronounced mustache just shook his head negatively, not bothering to speak.

'Who am I to try to tell the young master what he should or should not do with his life...' Dillian thought about this in silence, considering that Minos was already an adult and knew well what he was doing.

Maisie then looked at Abby once again and asked. "What about Ruth? I hear you, and she has a good relationship..."

"How will that look in the future? Will you accept sharing him with others even after you marry him?"

"That..."

"If it's Ruth, I don't mind, but..." She drew a deep breath, gathering the courage to continue what she had in mind. "But I won't let him bring women into our house as and when he wants."

"Oh?" Maisie said in surprise, smiling at Abby.

"Good!"

"Well, I'll teach you and Ruth a few things to restrict his womanizing personality." _{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ}

"I don't like this shameless behavior he's been exhibiting toward women either."

"Rest assured about that." She said as she approached that woman. "Now come give your mother-in-law a hug." She laughed.

Hearing Maisie's gentle tone, Abby felt less embarrassed while at the same time thinking that this woman could not be as bad as Minos considered her to be.

"Mother-in-law..." She said in a low voice, feeling Maisie's soft hands hugging her shoulders.

"Hmmm, good girl. If you listen to me well, I am sure that Minos will be only yours and Ruth's in a few years." Then, in a low voice in Abby's ear, Maisie said that just before she distanced herself from that woman and sat down in one of the armchairs in front of Minos' desk.

"Well, in any case, let's leave it to us to talk about these things at another time."

"I believe that in a few weeks, Ruth will be around. So, I will talk to both of you at once."

"However, right now, I want to know where my son is. Tell me about the situation in that territory of his." She said, having first looked at Abby and then at Dillian.

"Well, the young master is traveling around the region to fulfill some missions... I'm not sure where he is now, but he's probably heading towards the Snow Kingdom." Dillian commented openly.

He was loyal to Minos, but he knew that Maisie, although absent, was not a bad person, nor did she wish bad things for her own son. On the contrary, she cared a great deal about him.

Even when she went months, sometimes more than a year, without seeing little Minos during his childhood, she always communicated with Albert and asked questions about their son. _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

And as someone who had heard such things from Albert on several occasions, Dillian knew that this woman cared about her son more than Minos thought.

For this reason, he trusted her.

As for Abby, since Dillian had already said those things, she did not bother to hide other basic Black Plain information.

"As you may have seen, the Black Plain is at war with the other kingdoms in the region. But don't worry, as much as we have lost more than we have gained so far, we have recently managed to strike a certain balance with our enemies."

"That way, it shouldn't be long before the situation turns in our favor!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Maisie asked in disbelief. "That brat from the Spiritual Church doesn't seem to think so..."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't come all this way."

Gloria had teased Maisie, but Minos' mother knew that that church representative would not come to Dry City just for personal matters.

That might even happen under other circumstances, but not with a war of independence in the Black Plain!

So, she had assumed that Gloria wanted to get involved in the war as such a conflict was most likely far from its climax.

"Hmm, it's not wrong for her to think that way," Abby said calmly, confident in Minos' plans.

"But considering the information, she doesn't have, she is watching this situation from a bad position, with old information."

"After Minos returns from his mission, many things will change in this conflict!"

"Oh? I see you are confident..."New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

"Well, I'll take your word as true then." She said as she stood up from that seat, preparing to leave. "I don't want to get in the way of your official business, so I'll say goodbye."

"By the way, where can I stay in this place? Will my son be bothered if I sleep under the same roof as him?"

"That..."

"I'm not sure..." Dillian and Abby looked at each other uncertainly, not wanting to get involved in Minos and Maisie's problems.

Abby then suggested. "Maybe we should start any approaching between you slowly. How about you sleeping in one of the visitor residences in this mansion?"

"My parents are here too, so I don't think he will bother with that."

"Really? Well, let's do it this way then." Maisie said with a dull look, feeling bad about it.

"I hope you'll help your mother-in-law in the future..."

After that, Maisie went on her way while Abby and Dillian continued to sort out the local administrative matters.

...

Another week passed as Minos traveled, and the terrible events continued on the Black Plain.

But meanwhile, King Carline finally arrived in the capital of his kingdom, where he had hurried to his palace, anxious to know the condition of his wives and family.

He had been traveling like a madman since Minos' visit to Mirabella, not even being able to sleep during that period.

He always felt a terrible feeling at the thought of Minos' visit. So, he could not help but feel nervous and anxious to confirm that everything was well.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ Therefore, upon arriving at his royal palace, this man ignored all the Spiritual Kings in his path, from those who wanted to inform him of trouble to those who had only tried to greet him.

He just followed the direction of where the auras of the people most important to him in this place were.

"Honey, you..." He was about to say this when he suddenly came across the scene of the queen of this kingdom and Kara, her only daughter, lying beside a pool, eating and smiling as if the world was perfect.

Kara was wearing a bikini while using the natural daylight for tanning her skin. On the other hand, this woman's mother had a few more pieces of clothing on her body, lying with her eyes closed while using one of her hands to put grapes in her mouth.

But both had smiling expressions on their faces, something difficult for that king to ignore, even if he was not a very observant person to such peculiarities.

"What happened? What are you two laughing at?" He asked without thinking, finding it inappropriate that those two were having fun while he was worrying.
