14 Ch-14 Dragons are a lot...different.

After crying for a while, Roberta was finally calm, but she didn't let go of him, laying on his chest.

" Eri, you know that even if you hate me, it's still okay." She still couldn't let go of her guilt, it's not that she didn't want to let it go, but she couldn't. It's like when you are depressed; you already know the reason, but you'll still be depressed over it.

"Grandma, I'm not blaming you for what happened that time, I was the one who decided to give it a try." At the end of the day, it was he who wasn't ready but still decided to choose to test his resonance.

" But I was an el-"

" Grandma. Now that I'm awake, let's leave it as a past mistake." He didn't want to talk more about such depressing moments when he had more interesting topics to talk about.

" Sigh… Ok." She finally stood up, though not without a struggle in her mind; the rational part wanting to stand up, but the womanly side wanted to be still in his embrace.

" Grandma, have you looked at yourself, you look a little older than before." he pointed out her exhausted face as a result of the depression.

" Huh?" She was a little startled by the sudden question.

She instantly went to the nearby mirror, looking at her reflection. Her smooth white hair had a roughness to it, her pale skin had lost its natural charm, her face had more wrinkles than there should be, and the dark circles under her eyes didn't help much. Plus, the mass loss on her body made her look like a patient.

She was having a hard time believing that the once proud woman was now so weak looking. She knew that she had to do something immediately, otherwise it would be too late.

" Eri, thanks for telling Grandma." If he hadn't said anything, she would probably never notice. She might not be young anymore, but which woman loves to have wrinkles on their face.

" You guys are awake, good, here's your breakfast." Senthia walked in with two maids trailing behind her, holding onto the breakfast tray.

" Mother, did you finally notice your wrinkles? It must be Erin's words that you are looking in the mirror." asked Senthia as she looked at her mother, who was staring at her reflection.

She and her sister had warned her multiple times, but their mother would always reply with a generic line of ' I'm okay'.

" It seem like you have been slacking in your training, should we go to the training ground?" Roberta eyed her daughter with a smile on her face.

" Baby.." She stopped looking in her direction and rushed to Erin's side, jumping on him and then giving him a long and deep kiss on the lips, when she released his lips, there was a string of saliva connecting their lips.

"Good morning, baby." said Senthia as she continued to sit on his lap while she locked her legs against his waist for extra support.

"Morning Mom."

" Baby, mommy missed you so much." Last night she didn't know why, but she couldn't stop thinking about him even for a second.

" I missed you too." After she had left him, he felt as if a part of him was missing the whole day, but now that she was in his arms, he finally felt complete again.

" Oh, I remembered why I was here. Sofi, you can lay the table, and Jena, you can start serving breakfast." She ordered the two maids to start their jobs.

After doing their duty, the maid went back to the entrance, where they stood there doing what they were best at making themselves invisible while waiting to take the leftovers back.

After eating their breakfast, the family of three out of four was sitting with Erin on the left, Roberta on the right, and Senthia still on his lap.

" So you lost control after that? " Roberta confirmed, to which both mother and son nodded simultaneously.

" Hmm, it seems that your instinct took over." She got the gist of the situation from Senthia's explanation.

" Mother, can you explain in detail?"

" Oh, let me start from the beginning then." She finally remembered that her children knew nothing about dragons in general.

" As you know, dragons were living in Gaia before they vanished suddenly, but there were still a lot of inscriptions left behind by the people to prove their existence. According to the records, the dragons were known for three things, strength, which made them an apex predators of their time; greed, they liked to covet anything of high value; and last but not least, their insatiable lust; they would mate at any time, with anyone they deemed fit. There was a saying in old times that if a dragon laid eyes on you, then you should run, if a dragon marked something, then forget it ever existed, if a dragon laid eyes on a woman, she should take it as an honour." At the end of the sentence, she told them the words written in the records.

" There was another saying in the records that If two dragons mate, then catastrophe will strike. We can only assume that when they have sex, they let their wild nature loose." She had seen some of the beastkin do the same, but comparing a normal beastkin to a dragon is like comparing the size of an ant to an elephant.

" Is there some solution to it, mother? " She can't have her child become a beast every time he has sex.

" Hmmm, there is one that I can think of."

" What is it?"

" He has to learn to control his instinct."

" Hmm, then we can start from tonight, sister will only join after he'll turn sixteen, while you want to defeat you first, which leaves me alone. Don't worry mother, I'll try my best so he can learn as soon as possible." She said with a determined voice.

Roberta just rolled her eyes,

' Why didn't I just agree.' After meeting him again did she realise her mistake of the past, she was jealous of her daughter who would have Erin for every night.

" Mother, Grandma. Why aren't you against incestal relationships?" he could understand, if in his younger age they might take his action as the act of an innocent child but when he grew up, never once had his mother, aunt or grandma showed any resistance toward his moves.

" Baby, relationships between family members are common in a noble house, some noble houses go as far as to disallow outside relationships." Nobles are very conservative about their bloodline, sometimes allowing their members to have relationships just to continue the high purity of their bloodline.

"Huh! Why haven't I read about it anywhere? " From all the books he read from his birth, none had any description of such relationships.

" Baby nobles have an image to maintain."

"Oh," he finally understood what she was trying to say.

' Hmm, so incest is still not accepted by the general public, not like I care about their opinion.' The general public can think whatever they want but he was going to make them his woman.

"by.. Baby, what happened?" He was woken from his daze by Senthia's voice.

" N-Nothing."

" We were asking if you wanna test your dragon lineage?"

" Oh, let do that." He also wanted to know if losing five years was worth it or not?

To Be Continued…

" Mother, you know I have a good cream for your wrinkles." asked Senthia

" Huh? How long will it take for it to show effect?"

" It takes at most 3 days." This was the special cream she bought during an auction for her personal use but now a better opportunity has arrived at her door.

" How much? "

" Not much, just 20 Power Stone."

"Now you are big enough to rip off your own mother? "

" What can I say certain someone had higher the price of it during auction, so I can't let go below 20 Power Stone."

"Sigh… alright." She didn't wanted look old in front of her grandchild, having no choice she accepted to be ripped off.
