The concerns of a Mother.

"Ehhhh, isn't ashe dating that prince..why is she suddenly flirting with his father" Triny muttered as she flipped a page, she was currently enjoying the silent night by reading an erotica

*Crack Crack Crack Crack Crack Crack*

"Who is disturbing my peace now" Triny sighed as closed her book and saw a spatial fracture, It was obvious that someone opened a portal to her garden...her sanctuary

Triny placed her book gently on the side table, her expression turning from annoyance to wary curiosity.

She stood up, her robes flowing like shadows around her as she walked toward the spatial fracture. The air around the portal shimmered with an ethereal glow, the sound of cracking still echoing softly as the breach widened.

"That's odd. Didn't you guys have more days for your vacation? " Triny sighed as she saw Yuuki exiting the portal, but she became concerned as she saw a half-naked Aetheris sleeping innocently and peacefully on Yuuki's back.

"Yuuki what happened, why does he smell like fire" Triny inquired with a tone of concern and worry

"Shhh let me explain this matter.. it's my territory" Sebastian proudly announced as he began to explain the events that occurred but of course, he left out the Earth-related matters

"THOSE THANATOS BASTARDS!!! ARE GETTING TOO DAMN BOLD! DO THEY ACTUALLY WANT ANOTHER WAR?!" Triny released her Aura out of anger, but she quickly regained her composure as she noticed Yuuki's surprised expression because, to Yuuki, this was the first time Triny had acted like this.

"A-actually… th-this might be my fault," Sebastian stammered, his voice barely above a whisper as he looked away, his face flushed with shame.

Triny looked at him with a confused expression; she knew very well that Sebastian wouldn't intentionally harm Aetheris, and he always prioritized him no matter what.

"Let me explain, I began to visit Vedic's dreams as the Goddess Luminous so that I could easily gain access to his past lives memories without harming him in the process but things did not go as planned

He was so suspicious that he called me a fraud...so I began to make him trust me by feeding him a false prophecy... a prophecy where he could save the world but after failing to get those memories... I forgot to erase his false dreams, and one thing led to another. " Sebastian coughed as he looked aside in shame as he saw Triny's gaze.

Vedic only betrayed the Luminous church because he thought he met the 'Goddess Luminous ' who gave him a prophecy and since he didn't know the true appearance of the Goddess Luminous he easily believed Sebastian

Kaleos and Vedic met by coincidence and one thing led to another which made Vedic trust Kaleos, due to the lack of information he acted in the best interests of the Luminous church

"I swear when he wakes Up I am going to tell him.."

"Oh lady Trinity please don't tell the young master...he defended your honour you know ... He did something that benefited someone else other than himself; this shows that he's growing," Sebastian quickly added as he tried to sweet-talk his way out of trouble.

"Why is he asleep..no when is he going to wake up" Triny sighed as she approached Aetheris and caressed his face.

"Well the young master was supposed to enter a few decades of slumber after forming his pathway

The magic circle of the spell he cast was originally larger than 10km, but he concentrated all of his Mana into a 10 km radius and used all of it into a single spell, so I can't say... maybe days, weeks, or months at best. Why??"

Triny sighed as she heard his explanation. This was completely unexpected, but she also blamed herself; if she had let Aetheris begin his study on Arts, he would have dealt with the situation easier.

"The academy I chose for him opens once in 200 years and in the next four months it opens I just hope he wakes up in time"

Triny wanted Aetheris to begin his journey slowly at the academy, the academy she chose for him was quite versatile and suitable for Aetheris.

She could've taught him magic, battle Arts, Martial Arts, and much more but she wanted him to go to the academy, explore the world, and come back to the Luminous state where he would be docile and lazy

That was Triny's true plan but Aetheris's curious nature was gonna make it impossible for her to execute her plan so as a doting mother she abandoned her selfish desires and wanted him to grow independently

"Yuuki..."

Triny turned around and saw Yuuki blushing, but the reason why she was blushing is what surprised her, Aetheris was busy biting Yuuki's ear softly and seductively while being asleep.

Triny's eyes softened as she watched Aetheris nuzzle closer to Yuuki, his small hands gripping her robes with a delicate, almost innocent touch.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, a warm smile crept onto Triny's face as she observed the scene. It was a rare moment, seeing Aetheris so vulnerable and unguarded, even if his actions were somewhat... peculiar.

"Yuuki," Triny began, trying to stifle a chuckle, "I don't think he realizes what he's doing."

Yuuki, still blushing furiously, tried to keep her composure. "H-he's really... affectionate in his sleep," she said, her voice trembling slightly as Aetheris continued to nibble softly on her ear.

Despite her usual calm demeanor, she was clearly flustered, caught off guard by the unexpected intimacy. Triny moved closer, gently placing a hand on Aetheris's back.

"He's been through a lot today. His subconscious is probably seeking comfort in the most familiar place," she explained softly, her tone soothing.

Yuuki nodded, trying to ignore the heat rising in her cheeks. "I-I'll carry him to his room," she suggested, carefully adjusting her hold on Aetheris, but his grip tightened, and he let out a soft, contented sigh.

"Looks like he's not letting go anytime soon," Triny teased, her amusement clear. "Why don't you just stay with him until he wakes up? It might help him rest easier."

Yuuki hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "All right... I'll stay with him," she agreed, her voice softening. Despite the awkwardness, there was a certain tenderness in her eyes as she looked at the sleeping Aetheris.

She couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility for his well-being, especially after everything he'd been through.

Triny gave her a reassuring smile. "He trusts you, Yuuki. More than you might realize," she said gently, stepping back to give them space.

As Yuuki turned to leave, Aetheris shifted slightly, his lips brushing against her ear once more, sending another wave of warmth through her.

She couldn't help but smile despite her embarrassment."I'll make sure he's safe," Yuuki promised, her voice filled with quiet determination.

Triny watched them go, her heart filled with a mix of emotions—pride, love, and a hint of sadness. She knew Aetheris had a long journey ahead of him, and while she wanted to protect him, she also understood that he needed to grow and learn on his own.

As much as she wished to keep him close, she knew that his path was one he had to walk, even if it led him far from her.
