Chương 329: Chapter 312. Mrs. Victoria Awakens

Victoria Awakens

" But he was just a baby!"" I know, I know. I'm sorry..."" I know, Ma'am... I can't imagine what you're going through."" Mommy, it's all going to be okay..." The fact that I was Human made speaking to Mrs. Victoria... A tad bit difficult, because of that, I had Sarah and Anna explain the situation to her. I looked at Victor and Patrick and started to release some of my aggression from being slapped on them." You couldn't have mentioned she wouldn't take too kindly to a Human being here?"" Well...

Your kind of our only option... Hey, Kim doesn't hate humans! That counts for something, Matthew!"" What about you two!?"" I mean... It seemed like a bigger issue when we were alive?"" Why are you questioning it, Vic!?"" Hey, I'm just a kid!"" I'm sorry, Marquess Matthew! It really did slip my mind! I've never really had an issue with Humans, but my Wife's family had some dealings with a few passing Merchants that didn't go well! I completely forgot about it!""

Oh yeah, you always did roll your eyes when Mom went on one of those rants, didn't you, Pops?"" I swear to the Gods with you two..." Tug... Just as I was about to rip into them, I felt a tug at my sleeve, I turned to see Kim looking up at me. I took a deep breath and tried to make a more neutral expression on my face." I'm sorry my Mom did that... She's always been a little... Hard on humans... Do you hate us now, Matthew?" She looked genuinely concerned about my opinion on her family.

I took a deep sigh before bending down and patting her head." No, I don't hate you... believe it or not, I'm quite used to things like this happening at this point. I just wish that I could've been warned about it before hand... And about being possibly slapped would've been nice as well. Besides, you shouldn't be worried or sad about me now, Kim. Your Mom's finally awake! That's great news! It means you can be a family again! You both can live your lives-"" Ahhhh! You idiot!

We were supposed to grow old together!"" After grieving appropriately, you both can live your lives again!" My words were beginning to set Kim at ease, despite her mother's justified reaction to the news that she was hearing. Kim turned around and began to speak to me again." At first, Mom was so angry when Big Bro got lost, she thought he was goofing off in town. She was pacing back and forth all day talking about how hard she was going to spank Big Bro... Then when Dad didn't come back home...

She was angry at first, but then... She just... Stopped... Stopped doing anything... Now, she's finally up again... Even though she's sad right now, I'm glad she's here again." press... I place my hand on her head again and nodded my head to her words." I'm glad she's here too, Kim." With that, we just sat and watched as Sarah, Anna and Princess Alice all tended to Mrs. Victoria as we sat on the sidelines. It was strange to be in a room with someone crying and not really being able to do anything for them.

Eventually, Mrs. Victoria was able to calm herself... Or tire herself out, either way, she was able to calm her breathing before she began to speak." Princess Sarah-" The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement." I'm just Lady Sarah now, I'm the Wife of a Marquess now. No more, no less, Mrs. Victoria. Besides, today has been quite an upsetting one. Don't worry about Titles, just call me, "Sarah" today."" B-But..."" I assure you.

We're much more angered by you hitting Our Husband, than by you calling us by name, Mrs. Victoria." I thought I saw a bit of a black aura beginning to leak from Sarah's body, but I blinked, and it was gone." Heeee! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit him! It's just that he did something that My Husband would always do that I didn't like... He even called me by the name My Husband would use..." I felt bad for Mrs. Victoria, she was being blamed for something that really wasn't her fault. I quickly tried to rectify it."

Sarah, it wasn't Mrs. Victoria's fault that she did that."" Matthew..."" Matthew..."" Matthew..." Kim, Victor and Patrick all said my name with respect and awe in their voices, a true shame they didn't let me finish what I was going to say." The one at fault was obviously Patrick. For not telling me that she would do that!"" Ah!"" Well, you're not going to win that argument, Pops."" Daddy never really did explain everything when he was speaking about something..."

Patrick, Victor and Kim all reacted in some way, but the greatest reaction was from Mrs. Victoria." You... You spoke to My Husband? And he told you about that? When did you come to Zana in the past, Mat.... Marquess Matthew?" Mrs. Victoria glared at me, until she felt the stares of Sarah, Anna and... Princess Alice? Regardless, she changed her tone and stopped glaring at me at the end of her sentence.

Still though, I don't think a recently widowed woman should have to worry about decorum when it comes to Noble Titles." You can just call me Matthew for now, Mrs. Victoria. To answer your questions, I have spoken to both your husband and your son. I arrived in Zana for the first time, 3 days ago. today is our 4th day in Zana."" But they've been missing for 3 months?"" Yes, but I'm a Paladin. And Paladins have the ability to see and speak to Ghosts. Which is how we ended up coming here today, Mrs. Victoria.

Patrick and Victor wanted me to come here and help you both... As a last request type of situation. And I decided to answer their request."" What... What did they want from you, Matthew?"" "Do"... What "do" they want, is the question, Mrs. Victoria. They're still here, they're right behind me actually."" What?"" Yes, give me a second, I'll get confirmation for you. Ask me a question that only your son or husband would know the answer to. Or would you rather I give you the question?"" Oh! I have one!

ask her about the secret stash of coins she keeps from Pops! She hides it in case we ever fall on hard times!"" Victor just told me about the secret stash of coins that you keep from Patrick, just in case you fall on hard times."" She kept it in the wall in my room!"" You kept it in the wall in his room?"" What!? Why didn't she tell me!?"" Now, Patrick is wondering why you never told him... Did you have a gambling issue or anything?"" No... I just...""

He would always buy expensive sheets so he could polish his Cleaning Technique... It became a problem before we had Victor. Then... He stopped... But just in case..." Tears began to fall from Mrs. Victoria's light-grey eyes, they were the same color as her daughter's however, her hair was light-brown instead of the rest of her family's black hair. Victor had the same black eyes as his father though. And it seems that both of the kids inherited Mrs. Victoria's 3 eyes.

And it looks like they inherited her looks as well. Which I'm sure if Mrs. Victoria was taking care of herself for the past few weeks, she'd look very lovely. Though I think Victor might take more after his dad if he had gotten to live to an adulthood. During these thoughts of mine, we all gave Mrs. Victoria some time to relax again. She's having to deal with a lot right now after all. Eventually, she calmed down again after Kim got on the bed and hugged her mother. Mrs.

Victoria gripped onto Kim like she was afraid she would never see her again. She had looked at me with a serious expression on her face and began to speak." I believe you, Matthew... But what do they want? Why haven't they moved on? If they linger here too long..."" They want you both to come back to Paradise with me."

"?" Mrs. Victoria looked confused. I looked to Patrick and gestured for him to tell me the reason he wanted me to take them with me." I... I don't want them to stay in the place Vic and I died in. I knew that Paradise's population were only around 30 or so people, so I knew that there were places they could live, if you would let them, Matthew." I took a moment to compose myself. I then remembered the amount of people that were currently in Paradise.

Last I checked the number had made it to around 3500 Demons and 100 Humans. Of course, there were also 2 Dark Elves and a bunch of Ashura Cattle and 1 Varus Cow. Accepting 2 more into a town that can house around 10, 000... No, we could expand and easily house twice that number... Wait, I'm being distracted. Before trailing off, my thinking was that it wouldn't be an issue to fit them. The only issue would be... Well, let's wait and see, I guess?" Kidding me..." I repeated what Patrick said to me.

What was clear from it, was that Mrs. Victoria was not a happy camper. Just how much was quite funny to see." PATRICK SEAN HARVEY! ARE YOU TRULY SUGGESTING WE LEAVE OUR LIFE HERE AND HEAD TO THE UNKOWN!?" Mrs. Victoria's reaction nearly made me laugh. That was until I made the most unfortunate connection in my mind, it went as followed "While I'd like to just sit back and watch the fireworks of a married couple arguing, the only one who can speak for the husband... Was me."

With that realization made, I was now forced to step into a minefield everyone dreaded... Being a part of a couple's argument!
