8.The family should be neat and tidy...

With this kind of not so promising mother,I mourned for my future descendants for a few seconds.

Then I put it in the back of my mind.

Sorry kids,I'm not in the sympathy business .

I've more pressing matters now.

After passing the inherited memories for the descendants, I found out that, I could bind my imaginary kingdom in the book. I name the book as "Progenitor Book".I command the book in my mind...

[Bind it now]

[ Binding the Kingdom Development System with the book...]

[ Binding successful...]

[ Please go to the fifth page to check ..]

The fifth page is still blank with only the big words " Name your kingdom" on the top.

I named it in simple and rude way.

"Silverleaf Kingdom "

Actually, I want to call it Queendom but I'm too embressed to do so.

Although I have zero minister now,that didn't mean I won't have them in the future.

The descendants are independent souls but they would never betray me. Have you ever seen the fruits betraying the tree? I haven't seen it. DM me if you find it...Please

This wave,I earned it. I'm indeed very self-aware. If I were in other royal family, a naive person like me in a high position could only prove that I was a puppet tool, not a true ruler.

But my status for elves is different from other royal family. I was a Monarch by right. The kind that can't usurp or take it by force.

But still, I have to be careful. At all times,you must be in awe of potential danger,so that danger will see that you respect it and will not cause you die in it's hand.

The preparations are done. I concentrated my energy into honing the healing magic I just got. Nature magic can be covered up as a wood magic and the healing magic can help me earn respect anywhere I go...

The hunting party returned in the evening. The boys hunted many preys in their first trip. The advantages of elves are there, they can mastered even my half baked skill in archery effortlessly.

The baskets are full too. There are many kinds of fruits I haven't seen. I picked just enough for dinner and put the other into the storage space.

Dinner is pleasant with more variety of fruits and mushrooms.

Next, I let them loose and raised them like free-ranged chickens. I also devoted myself in cultivating healing magic. As long as the milk is enough, my warriors won't die.

I'm meditating in the tree house Liam built for me. I escaped from the fate of caveman with the boys help. They're filial to their old mother.

A knock come from the door....

"Mother... can we come in?"

"Come in"

Noah is the first to entered the house with a smile. Liam followed him behind with his signature cold face. In these months,they come to meet me just for storing the surplus meats and fruits.

Noah is unusually happy and Liam even have the proud look on his cold face.

"What make you so happy?Spill it.."

Noah put the small basket infront of me. I can't see the content in it since they covered it with a big leaf.

"Guess what good thing we bring for you?"

"Fruits? flowers? honey? What is it? It doesn't have a smell.."

I unveiled the mystery they present...

"Wood attribute magic stones!!! Where did you find it?"

"We're going to visit the Greyhound pack today. The cave they stayed is very luxuriant and we found out that wood attribute magic is very dense around there. They didn't know that there was a lot of magic stones at the end of the cave. We found it for the reason that we are very sensitive to wood magic. They didn't need it anyway. So we digged some for you. Do you need them?"

I picked up the smallest green stones rediating the rich wood magic to try absorbing it.

I can absorb it so well. In a minute,the small stone turned into dust. I absorbed a few more stones.

I feel my power rise a little. I looked into my status. It showed 99.3% matrure...

"It's effective for me."

They are really happy this time. Even Liam have a smile on his face.

"Let's dig them all. Come on,let's go.."

"Daniel's cave....Is it far?"

I don't know yet. I haven't given a visit to the Greyhound pack.

"A hour trip if we run in full speed"

"Will it be rude? What if they don't like us digging in their territory? "

"No,mother. They are very happy that they got a free labour to enlarge their cave. As for taking the magic stones, it's a waste for them. They can't use the stones anyway. "

I thought for a moment but decided to wait Daniel to ask for permission.

We need to do superficial work in spite of our relationship. Showing respect is never wrong in any ways.

"Let's ask for permission from Daniel first. He won't disagree anyway."

"All right then. We're going back.."

"See you"

It's awkward. How can I say good bye to your child smoothly? QAQ

As expected, Daniel agreed us to dig his cave clean.

I don't know how many stones are there,so I decided to stay there as guests until we finished the job.

I asked Veronica to come with us. She refused without thinking. She said she had to patrol her territory. I was worried for her safety but after rethinking, isn't she safe in her territory before I come?

I nagged at her a lot as a revenge for not accompanying me before I go.

"Then we are leaving..."

"Go away!!!"

She turned her head to avoid looking at me. I pissed her of by overdoing it, haha...

I think I forgot something.

Nevermind,things that can't be remembered are just that.

Without thinking deeply,I urged the boys.

"Let's go"

I was picked up!!!! WTF!!!

I just remember what I forgot. That's it....I forgot my transportation...

No matter how much I wanted to be put down,I know my short legs can't let me go far.

I looked at Liam who was carrying me in his arms. His face is cold as always but the corner of his lips that can't be pushed down betrayed his mood. All I want to know now is...

Is dying out of shame still shameful?

A mother is carried in the arms of her son--

Is this declination of humanity or morality corruption???

Even so,my psychology is very strong. If you can't see it, you won't be embressed. I hide my face in Liam's chest.

Liam's cold face soften because of her cuteness. A smile bloomed on his face. He had wanted to do this from the start. They were not children like his mother thought. They are born with adult mentality to better protect their mother.

Gloria didn't know....

Their love for her was rooted deeply in their heart. Starting from the time they broke the shells and coming out from the fruits, their instinct was to love her,protect her and obey her.

However, this instinct have one flaw.

Since the instinct come in order,when the commands are in conflict, they'll choose the safest route.

Because love her come first in their instinct, they will protect her (second) and obey her(third). So if they have to choose between her safety and her command, they will give priority to her safety and comfort.

That's how the scene of the son picking up the mother and carrying her in his arms like a child happened.

We arrived near the Greyhound pack's cave in a hour. I patted Liam's arm...

"Put me down....I'll walk from here.."

Liam controlled his laughter and put me down. Yet Noah end up laughing...

"Mother, no need to feel ashame...Even if you are our mother, we are willing to pamper you. We have already known you are squaemish from the inherited memory. You will get used to it sooner or later. Then why not sooner?"

Yes, my son is right. Who can blame me when it is clearly "one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer"?

It's not like I'm acting squaemish with the adult body.

"Then...you're not allowed to laugh.."

"I won't laugh."

"Hug me then.."

This time, it's Noah who picked me up.

We swaggered into the territory of Greyhound alarming the sentry wolves. The sentries recognized Liam and Noah from their smell, so no wolf stopped us along the way.

"Oh...you're here."

"Hey.. Daniel,how is your day? "

"Good as always "

Daniel came out from the cave to lead us into the place we need to dig.

"Stay in the innermost part of the cave. You can walk around anywhere you want,just don't go out of our territory. Our neighbours are not as good tempered as Veronica."

"Never heard you talking about your neighbours before...."

"As if you're interested before.."

"Now I do.."

" The east side is Veronica, the west is Spider Queen, the north is White tiger.....and the south is the swamp. I can save you from the spider and white tiger but not from the swamp."

"Is it that scary?"

"Not just scary....The fog is poisonous. It's paradise for frogs,snakes and giant crocodiles. You'll lose half your life in the poisonous fog and other half in the mouth of crocodiles or snakes. Oh...there are all kinds of insects and leeches too."

My face turned pale when I'm imagining the leeches in the swamp. Other creatures are scary but leeches are gross....

"Okay...go do your own things. We will start digging now. I started to miss Veronica... I've to hurry up."

I armed the boys with all purposes shovel made from nearby tree. It won't break even if they dig it through rocks as I strengthen it with magic. I've my own little spade too.

The family should be neat and tidy even when we became miners...

Yeah....

"I've never played with mud.... I read in the book that children love playing with mud and sand."

"We haven't either.."

Only then did I remember that,they didn't have childhood like other child. I think they should know the basic happiness of children.

[Add playing with toys in their inheritance ]

[Adding....]

[Adding complete ]

Kids,you have complete childhood now...

Are you happy?

Even though you are boys and the toys I played with was dolls and dresses, a happy memory is still a happy memory ...

Right,right???
