Chapter 281 : Unconditional love

Elric was feeling a bit odd walking down the hallway of the palace with his mother holding his hand oh so tightly. He was not very accustomed to this kind of affection, actually, now that he thought about it, the only people who had shown him true affecting all his life were his father Bradley Aldos, and his brothers Clovis and Jeffrey, but even they didn't show it this much.

"I have spent days having your room prepared," Layla spoke excitedly as she led her son down the corridors. "I didn't know what you liked so I just used my mother's intuition.." 

They arrived at a large wooden door that had a golden plaque pinned onto it, with the words 'Prince Elric' engraved. It was a little over the top, but Elric appreciated it nonetheless.

"Go on son," Layla spoke and chuckled immediately after. "Oh goodness look at me. Forgive me, I have never used that word towards anyone before.. son.. it just warms my heart."
