"Is the situation really that bad?" Eleanlr asked, concerned.
Part of it is her fault after all.
Ayesha then shook her head and with a small smile on her face said,
"Not entirely. Holy mother said she has planned something and it might be effective, if that doesn't work then, we just need to be strong enough to handle him."
"It's good if she has some plan. So, you finally got the time or will you be running back again?" Eleanor asked, knowing that Ayesha must be busy and might have to go back soon again.
But her response wasn't what Eleanor had hoped for.
"The situation there is stable right now, few other forces has joined hands with us, even though their motive for doing so is still unknown, but things has been peaceful for some time now."
"Is that so?" Eleanor said, worry still lingering in her voice.
After the war with demon king, she has been wondering if what she is doing is right or not, she did wanted to have a life of her own where she can live with her loved ones, but she doubted if the world will remain the same after she has gone, as a hero, the feeling of herlping others has been her motive all along, this has been bugging her for so long, but now, it has subsided a bit.
'She did tell me about the consequences of my action, that I might even regret it, but she is still helping me and this world. Our connection has been severed after that battle, there is no point in her helping me anymore but she is still doing it... thank you, Marlene.'
"Shall we go then?" Ayesha went near her and said, she has been eager to meet Ravi.
"Umm, let's go."

Setsuna teached me the summoning runes, and i did not know why, but there are so simple?
It did not take me long to write down the summoning rune.
Even she herself was surprised by it.
'No wonder I felt the runes before strange. These runes are the same runes that I saw in our ancestors cave. I took me time to figure that out, but seems that hero is something special. I just thought of her as a good warrior, but she is piquing my interest now.'
"Now you just need to draw the last stroke, the rune will be finished then, but be careful, you won't know what you might summon and what they might asked for. Do you wish to summon someone right now?"
Do i wish to summon someone? Heck I do, but let's not for now.
I do not know what might appear from there, it could be anything and if it's something I cannot handle, then what?
So let's just stop for no...? Hmm, she is back so soon?
As I was wondering if I should use the summoning rune or not, I sensed that Eleanor was back to the castle and she isn't alone... the next one standing beside her, that calm and serene aura, it must be Ayesha.
"Tsk."
And when I was analysing mother and Ayesha, Setsuna beside me clicked her tongue and got up from her place.
'Why did they have to come so soon? I was just about to make him summon me. Once he had done that, I would have formed a master and servant relation with him.'
I didn't know why she did that, maybe she was unhappy to see mother back so soon? I knew that there is something going on between them and Setsuna has expressed her unhappiness of not being with me for longer period of time before.
So this maybe just that.
Setsuna got up from her place and took her steps towards the door.
I couldn't see the kind of expression that she had right now, but I am sure that it heard her gritting her teeth.
"Just you wait, coward. You will be mine."
She whispered to herself, but I couldn't hear anything beside her teeths gnashing against each other.
As she reached out to the door, Eleanor pushed the door open and hurriedly reached out to me.
"My baby~ did you miss me?"
Lifting me up in the sky, my legs freely hanged in the air.
You just went out, and it hasn't even me an hour, why do you think i will miss you?
After this was the usual meet and greet, with Setsuna getting on the throats of Eleanor and Ayesha.
After greeting them with her cold words, Setsuna walked away. It's always strange that she doesn't stick with me when I am with Eleanor, she just walks out and seemingly disappears, every single time.
"He is growing so fast. Just one year old, and he is already like a 3 year old child."
Ayesha exclaimed seeing me. Well, she hasn't visited once, so no wonder she is so surprised.
"See? My plan to use my sword on him was excellent, right?" Mother asked Ayesha, proudly.
What are you feeling so good about? I would have been dead if not for the miracle happening.
And why do I feel there is another meaning behind her this line.
"Hmm, it all came good, so I won't disagree with you." Ayesha said.
She then went near me and greeted me.
"Hello, Ravi. Do you remember me?"
She asked, her voice kinda babyish. Why do all the adults talk to babies like that?
And how do you expect a child to remember you when they have just seen you for a single time and that too when they were born?
But I have to pretend... pretend like I do not know her.
"Ravi, she is your mother's friend and your aunt. Greet her." Mother said to me.
"Hello, aunty." I did as I was told.
"Aww, he is so cute. It's your birthday today right? So here's a present for you."
She then casted a magic circle on her hand, an extremely radiant and beautiful flower filled with thick mana appeared on her hand.
My whole body, trembled from inside... it was begging for it.
Aunt...? Not, she is my sugar mommy.
