Gifts from afar

When Mae woke up, she felt a bit dizzy. Even though she wasn't fully awake, she still vaguely remembered what happened last night. She let the Eri system control her body, but it seemed like the operating system was overloaded, affecting this body.

Although she received the Archdemons' grace, she herself did not have the experience to use them, which resulted in great harm to herself. Now Eri's system is in a "cooling" state, so communication with her will temporarily not be possible.

She still remembers, before she lost consciousness, she saw the silhouette of a strange young man, but without any malicious intent.

____________

[Archdemon of Greed]- Mae (Eri)

____________

Mae shivered slightly, the Eri system called the other person Archdemon of Greed, just hearing the nickname made her a bit scared. If I remember correctly, the Eri system seems to be very wary of this person.

"Madam Mae, have you woken up yet?" - Grayce

Hearing the servant's voice, Mae jumped out of bed to open the door. Behind the door is Grayce, as well as Loya and two cat maids.

"Come on girls, help your master look presentable" - Grayce

"Roger that!"

Immediately, Mae was pulled inside, Fifi and Belle prepared warm water while Loya took off Mae's clothes. Even though she had a mushroom body, she was still startled and instinctively covered her body. After the warm water was prepared, Grayce poured a solution into the bathtub. Soap bubbles began to rise, and the four servants parted ways.

"Please come into the bathtub, Madam Mae" - Grayce

It seems like there's something wrong, do they know that her body absorbs water easily? She told them, have they forgotten? But Grayce is not that easy to forget, Loya is even more unforgettable, because she is a maid doll so she has a very good memory function.

Well, if they prepared a bath for her, there must have been a reason. Mae gently dipped her hand into the bathtub. Strangely, when the water touched her skin, there was no sign of water being absorbed. More curious, she immediately stepped into the bathtub, the warm water covering her body calmed Mae's mind. It's been a long time since Mae has properly "bathed", because her body absorbs water very easily, so she can only jump in cold water and then dry it in the sun, so she doesn't feel clean.

'So comfortable, so warm~'- Mae thought

"How come the water doesn't seep into my body?" - Mae

Grayce immediately took out a large vial containing a thick blue solution.

"This is a gift sent to you by Mr. Heli. It helps you when bathing so that water will not seep into your body" - Grayce

"So that's it? It turns out Heli sent it to me~"- Mae

"Madam Mae?"- Fifi

"What a good son of mine~"- Mae

This comfort made her mind drowsy, and her whole body immediately sank into the bathtub. The panicked servants pulled Mae out of the bathtub before she drowned.

While the three girls were drying Mae, Grayce walked up with a letter in his hand.

____________

{Dear my mother}

How are you these days? Are you taking good care of yourself?

Three months have passed since my wives and I left the village, left you to move to another place.

But there isn't a day that I don't miss you. Because for me, wherever you and Sophie are, that's home.

Life here is very stable, you don't need to worry too much, we have found a place to live and become friends with the people here. Even though it's cold here, every time I think of you, my heart feels warm.

I hope that one day we will meet again, and then I really want to tell you about what I have experienced throughout my journey.

Now I not only have Gina and Charlotte by my side, but also my children with other wives. They look forward to meeting you one day.

P.S: I hope you will like the gifts I sent.

____________

After reading it, the housekeeper gave the letter to Mae. The drops of water falling on the paper were Mae's tears. She was very happy to receive a letter from her son. It's been a long time since she's seen her son. Reading this letter must mean that her son and her daughters-in-law are all safe.

When Mae went downstairs to see, she was shocked. In the middle of the motel, there was a pile of gifts piled as high as a mountain.

"Are all of these things given to me by Heli? Is there any mistake?" - Mae

"It's not a mistake, Madam Mae. It's all yours" - Grayce

Together they took out the gifts one by one. There were gift boxes that were clothes designed for Mae to wear, there were gift boxes that were specially made bottles of water, and of particular note was a box that was designed for Mae. Wrapped very carefully. When I opened it to see inside, it was a necklace and crown jewelry set that matched the earrings. They are all studded with sparkling diamonds.

Mae immediately closed the box, then opened it slightly and closed it again. Finally opened it again to look.

'What was that?'- Mae thought

Although there is no Eri system to explain, just a glance can roughly guess the value of that jewelry set. How could her son send her such valuable gifts?

Mae was still a little dizzy so she gave the jewelry box to Grayce and then staggered back to the bedroom. Watching the master return to the room, Grayce looked at the jewelry with the three maids.

"Oh, it's a snowflake gem. One of the best gems from Northrealm, these gems are usually only owned by royalty" - Grayce

"Is its value that great?" - Fifi

"If I remember correctly, it took hundreds of years for the snowflake gemstone to appear" - Grayce

"Does it mean anything?" - Belle

"Often, the snowflake gemstone is associated with perfection. It also means 'only', Lord Heli's meaning is that Madam Mae is the only mother he loves" - Grayce

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Fifi ran to open the door and saw a parcel delivery person coming.

"May I ask, is this the address of someone named Mae? Someone sent it named Sophie"

"I'm her servant, what's the item?" - Fifi

"It's a gift"

Meanwhile, Mae is still unconscious after taking a bath containing water made by her son, that's just the first reason. The second reason is the gifts and the jewelry box. It's only been half a year but the results her son sent are far beyond what she thought.

In her previous life, Mae realized that her son had very good intelligence compared to other children his age, he was calm and very calculating. When he was a student, Heli's academic scores were maximum. And Sophie is a child with an angelic face who is loved by many people. She was invited into the entertainment industry at a very young age, so she was noticed by many strangers without being able to go to school as usual.

Because they were two outstandingly talented children, Mae's ex-husband's face became more proud and at the same time became stricter with them.

That made Mae disagree with her ex-husband's teaching style, so they had a lot of arguments. No matter how much advice she tried, her ex-husband ignored it. He even used force on Mae many times, so many times that she didn't know how many times.

She herself is not someone who demands anything from her children, she just wants them to live like other children. Yet, just out of pride, her ex-husband destroyed the childhood of the two children.

Remembering this makes Mae feel even more weak for not being able to protect her children.

"KYA!"

A scream startled Mae. It was Fifi's scream. Did something happen?

Mae quickly ran downstairs, she was afraid of what would happen to her friends.

"What's going on?" - Mae

"Madam Mae...Egg..."- Fifi

"What Egg?"- Mae

"The egg that Lady Sophie sent. It's a gift" - Loya

Mae didn't understand, so she went down to see what kind of egg could make the two cat maids so scared?

It's true that it's an egg, but the size of the egg is as big as the rubber ball that yoga practitioners often use.

"These are dragon eggs, Madam Mae. Normally, to get them, you need to get them from the dragon's lair. But it takes very brave people to dare to go to the dragon's lair" - Grayce

Mae's vision becomes blurry, she is stunned by the gift her daughter sent home. It was almost impossible for Grayce's next words to reach her ears. Mae fell to the ground and fainted before the servants' panic.

First were the valuable gifts sent by Heli, now comes a dragon egg sent by Sophie. These gifts are truly beyond her imagination.

What did her children do anyway?
