Nunid Kingdom (1/3)

"Aunt?!?!" Mason rolled on the ground after receiving Jeanne's kick. He couldn't believe that his beloved aunt was against him.

Jeanne was already angry with Mason after his strange confession on the battlefield, but finding out that he allied himself with mercenaries to hurt someone she took to the Guild was the end of her patience.

She prepared to continue beating him, but then Mason raised his hand to defend himself. "Did you forget the promise you made to my mother? Is this how you want to honor her memory?"

Jeanne stopped while remembering her late sister. She thought for a second then kicked her again. "Don't use her name like that! She asked me to take care of you, and that also meant punishing you when you do something wrong!"

Lucien saw the second she hesitated and knew that her sister must be very important to her. He could understand why she was overprotective with Mason, and couldn't help but respect her for still beating him.
