"Father…
Where's mother?" Felberta, who stood right in front of him looked at him with an amused look on her face. Nobody knew whether it was because he was unknowingly affected by Nux's Law of Absolute Growth or if he was born with it, but Raguel's potential had bloomed a lot more than most people from the Forgotten Continent.
He was already a Sage Stage Cultivator. Felberta couldn't help but feel proud when she saw her son standing in front of her, but at the same time, she also felt guilty.
Once again, just like Eisheth and Lyriana, it is not easy for any woman to leave their children, honestly, Felberta's case was even worse than the two Divine Stage Women, she left her child when he was… well, just a child. Be it Maline, Rislith, or Ariana, all of them are much older than what Royce was when Felberta 'left' him.
Seeing the two of them act that way always made Felberta feel guilty, of course, her case was different, unlike them, she wasn't in the 'decision phase', she truly loved Nux and couldn't live without her. Staying together with Royce wasn't possible either because Nux was constantly challenging stronger opponents, anyone could target Royce and use him against them if things went wrong.
They had no other choice, but Felberta still felt guilty. Of course, she did try to meet him every time she could, the only time she didn't meet Royce was when she became an Eldraeth Progenitor and the reason behind it was the same as well.
Felberta wanted to turn Royce into an Eldraeth, as the Eldraeth Progenitor, she very much had the power to do it, However, Royce's safety became a concern once again. People from Yrniel weren't a problem, however, Eldreaths weren't exactly the people who could blend in.
Their light-like hair, extremely beautiful features, tall body structure, it was as if the race was built to be noticed from afar, they attracted too much attention, especially when they used their abilities. Royce won't be able to hide his change once he becomes an Eldraeth, and again, while the people in Yrniel weren't a problem, Yrniel didn't just have people from Yrniel.
The Black Order was still there. And no, despite Nux talking with Faustina and Vulpiana, Felberta knew that he didn't trust them.
He never trusted them from the beginning. Yes, he did like their features, but who were they talking about here? It was Nux.A man who has more than a few screws loose in his head. How could a man who would go to unimaginable heights to protect his wives ever get close to the ones who could potentially be enemies? Sure, Felberta knew that Nux might try to help them, but that would never be his priority and Felberta also knew the instant those foxes did anything fox-like, something that Nux didn't appreciate, The Black Order would disappear.
At the very least, those foxes would die. Anyways, back to the main topic, Felberta and others didn't trust the Black Order, there was a chance they would reveal the existence of an Eldraeth to other Worlds which might put Royce in danger.
It was something Felberta wanted to avoid before. Yes, before.
Her decision was now changed. Just like her, Nux obviously didn't forget about his 'son'.
The moment Felberta became an Eldraeth Progenitor, he had planned to turn Royce into one as well. As for his safety, This was where Nux was relying on that guy.
'He won't let anything happen to him.' Felberta recalled the conversation she had with Nux before.
'Him? Are you talking about the Vampire Progenitor?' 'Yes.' 'Would he actually make a move for Royce?' It wasn't a matter of trusting him or not, Felberta was just curious if he would make a move for someone he has no relationship with.
However, 'Once he has your Eldraeth Blood flowing through his veins, in that guy's eyes, he will be no different than us.' Nux laughed.
'We are not special in his eyes, Fel, we never were. We are just someone 'close' to his daughter, nothing else matters to him.
He will protect Royce because he belongs to his World. He won't let any otherworlder come and harm someone from his world, at least now that he is awake, he won't.
' Nux was confident, therefore, Felberta decided to trust Azriel. And this was the reason they were here.
"Father…?" Royce tilted his head in confusion when Nux didn't answer his question. Since Nux was here, he was sure that his mother would come together to meet him as well.
The fact that she wasn't here actually worried him.
"You can't even recognize your own mother, huh?" Felberta chuckled as he walked towards Royce.
Royce blinked a few times before he frowned. He had noticed this woman before, it was impossible not to, considering her features.
But he wasn't surprised, every time he met his 'father', there was always some new women around him, so it wasn't surprising, but to think this woman would call herself his mother. Normally, Royce would have dismissed her in an instant.
He didn't like people joking about his mother, however, for some reason, he just couldn't do the same when it came to this woman. This woman…
Why did she sound so much like his mother…?
"What? You still didn't recognize me? Do you want me to hit you before that head of yours starts working?" Felberta spoke in a strict tone and in an instant, "Mother…?"
"Yes."
Felberta nodded with a smile on her face and Royce couldn't believe it.
"Mother!?"
"Yes, yes.
Sheesh, is it that surprising?"
"That surprising? Of course it is!! What happened to you!?" Royce questioned with a frown on his face. Royce questioned with a frown on his face.
"Well, Bloodline changed, a lot happened." Felberta shrugged.
"Bloodline Change? Did you take Trials? What race is this? I know fairly well about all the races that exists, but I have never seen or heard about race with these features before."
"There are a lot of things you do not know, child."
Felberta smiled as she hugged him gently.
"I am not a child anymore," Royce complained.
"Yes yes, you are very mature." Felberta nodded as she continued to pat Royce's head.
Feeling the familiar warmth, a small smile appeared on Royce's face as he closed his eyes.
