Saga of Atlantis-Chapter 146: Mother’s love 2

"Huff...."

My breathing became shallow, my body grew cold, and my pupils dilated, while my whole body trembled, and even my heartbeat dropped with the emotions that I felt from her.

"Eden?"

No, even saying just emotions would be an understatement.

What I felt was raw emotions that emanated from the very being of a person—emotions so pure that they overwhelmed my whole being.

"You were saying something?"

But if only they were just pure emotions, that wouldn’t have been a problem. What I felt was more than that; it was a twisted form of love.

Love so intense that I was having a hard time even believing it.

"If you don’t have anything to say I am going."

If I have to compare these emotions, then the only person who comes even close to it is Nadya’s feelings for me, who by now is totally obsessed with me.

Huff... Huff...

My breath started to become normal as I tried to calm myself down.

Yeah, they are a mother’s emotions.

It’s bound to be a pure form of love for me, and the only reason I can think of for it to be slightly twisted is because she wasn’t able to see me grow up.

That regret made her love twisted for me.

Yeah...

That’s the only reason for her obsessive love.

"Master?"

As I came to a reasonable conclusion that would not disturb my already disturbed mind, Sarah’s voice brought me back to reality.

"Yes?" I asked, looking at her, my focus shifted from my mother to Sarah.

And...

I shouldn’t have done that...

Because the moment my gaze landed on her, Aphrodite’s bloodline worked on its own, and in the very next second...

’Why is she crazy now!?’

I felt an intense amount of love from her.

Love so pure and sweet that I just stared at her, dumbfounded.

Her emotions were so strong that they matched my mother’s.

’Why does she love me so much now?’

The thought kept lingering in my mind as I stared at her.

"Are you okay?" Her lips parted as she asked me with concern.

"Yeah," I replied as I stopped using the bloodline ability, "I am perfectly fine, no problem at all."

"If you are fine, you should get ready. Lady Stephanie has already moved towards the house after you kept ignoring her," she said as she stood up.

"Yeah, we should move as well," I said, standing up too.

Cleaning the dust off my body, I looked at her again. Her boundless love towards me was concerning. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Even though I wanted to avoid facing it now, things never went as planned now do they?

"Sarah," I called her, making her halt her movement.

"Yes, Master?" She asked, glancing back at me.

"Do you love me?" Taking a deep breath, I asked the question that I wanted to.

Her body trembled, her eyes wide open in shock as she looked at me.

"It’s complicated to answer that, Master," she replied after a few seconds with a sigh as she came out of her aftershock.

"How is this complicated, Sarah? All you have to say is yes or no," I pressed further as I walked closer until I stood in front of her.

"If only it was that easy to answer," she replied, looking at me with complicated emotions.

"But I can’t answer that, Master," she extended her hand, reaching to touch my face. "I will doubt my own love if I have to answer that."

I didn’t reply but just stared at her, letting her see me closely without interrupting her.

"We should go, Master, or Lady will be mad," she moved back as she started to walk again towards our house.

"Why am I always in these kinds of fucked up situations," with a tired sigh, I mumbled as I followed her.

"Ahem, mother?"

"Yes?"

"Weren’t we going to the church?"

"We were."

"Then why are we in the middle of the city?"

As I followed behind my mother and Sarah, I grumbled as we moved through the busy streets of the capital city.

"Well, there was a change in plans," she replied as I looked at her. "There is one more person coming for the meeting, and she can’t be present in the church for some reason, so we had to change the location."

"Huh? Who is coming? Wasn’t this supposed to be a secret meeting between you three friends?" I asked in confusion, not understanding the change of plans.

"You will know soon enough," she replied with a light smile as we reached a shady corner of a alleyway.

The place now changed into a dimly lit area as we moved further down the street.

"Do you know, Eden?" I looked at my mother as she mumbled, "I used to come to this place often when I was young."

"But aren’t you young even now?" I asked genuinely, as I hadn’t seen her age a bit since I was a child.

"When did you become so sweet with ladies, Eden?" My mother asked mischievously as she lightly punched me.

"Anyway, remember this place. It’s a secret one, only four people know about it," she said as she moved towards an abandoned house and opened the door.

"Huh?" I let out a startled voice as I felt the space around the house disturbed.

’A teleportation portal?’

I thought as I watched my mother move inside the house, vanishing within.

"Master," I looked at Sarah, who had her hand extended towards me, "only four people can enter inside, and without them, you can’t enter."

As she explained, I gave her my hand, which she held while interlocking her fingers with mine.

We both entered the house, and a whole new place came into my view as I removed my hand away from Sarah.

But ignoring the place, I looked at the three ladies that were present here.

One was my mother.

While the other two had blonde hair, with one looking just like a mature version of Angelina, who had her eyes closed as she hugged my mother.

And the second woman was running... towards me.

"Eden!" Aunt Olivia shouted as she threw herself at me, hugging me tightly.

"How have you been, Aunt?" I asked as I hugged her back.

"You have the nerve to ask that when you didn’t even come once to see me in like three years," she replied, breaking the hug and pinching my cheeks.

Ignoring Aunt Olivia, I looked at Queen Isabella.

She broke her hug with my mother and looked at me with complicated emotions.

"How have you been, Eden?" After a few moments of silence, she asked, as my mother and Aunt Olivia sat back on the sofa.

"Never been better," I replied, shrugging my shoulders, ignoring her. I also moved towards the sofa opposite of my mother and sat down.

"Eden," my mother called me, making me look at her.

"Yes?"

"Do you have something to ask from her? Ask now," she said, gesturing towards the Queen.

"Anything that I want to ask?" I asked back, and she nodded her head.

"Hmm, my Queen Isabella, tell me honestly, what were your plans for me if my mother hadn’t Awakened?" I asked because I wanted to confirm if my mother had been in a coma right now, would things be the same as in the game.

"Nothing," she replied, shaking her head. "The King was sure that you would bring your own demise if you were the same as you were before."

"You mean remain obsessed with Angelina?" I asked, and she nodded her head.

"Speaking of Angelina, where is she now?" I asked, as I didn’t know how she was doing. Last I saw, she was crying for Aeloria.

"She came with me out of the palace, and right now, she should be with Aeloria," she replied, and I nodded my head.

Maybe I am neglecting it too much, but they both really have a strong bond.

"Well, I have nothing else to ask," I replied as I leaned on the sofa.

I got the answer that I wanted.

If only Eden wasn’t so obsessed with Angelina, things would have been a lot better for him.

"Nothing else to ask, Eden?" I shook my head at my mother’s words.

"Then get out."

"Huh?" Confused, I looked at her.

"I said, get out," she repeated her words.

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Why did you even bring me here, then?" I asked in confusion, as I thought I would be part of the discussion.

"Get out, Eden. You will understand," she said, and though confused, I did as she said, walking out of the house.

As soon as I got out of the place, my eyes immediately fell on the little girl with a hat covering her head and a bag in her hand.

Light brown hair fell down her shoulders, and beautiful blue eyes, just like mine.

The little girl that I hadn’t seen for a while stood in front of me.
