MOTHER (2)

[DID I HEAR it right?]

Paige wondered if she only misheard Lewis calling the fake Princess Neoma 'Mother.'

[After all, Commander Lewis hates being called Princess Neoma's 'son.']

Hence, she couldn't believe that Lewis addressed the mirage as 'mother.'

Judging by the shocked look on her siblings' faces, it seemed like she didn't hear it wrong.

[What is happening now?]

And the most shocking part?

Lewis cried!

Even the mirage of Princess Neoma looked shocked.

[Our commander is good at acting???]

"Of course," the mirage of Princess Neoma said while nodding. "A pretty boy like you could only have a beautiful mother like myself."

Then, much to everyone's surprise once again, the fake Princess Neoma cupped Lewis's face between her ghostly hands.

It was a beautiful scene, but Paige kind of trembled in fear when the realization hit her.
