"Okay, okay. I shall take my leave now. But don't reveal about Vaelora to anyone, would you?" That lizard, laughed at her and said it.
Ayesha calmed herself a bit and replied to him with, "I understand, grand elder. No one will know about her mana core, and if you could, please take the secret of Ravi hidden as well."
"You do not need to mention that, this old man knows well what he needs to hide and what not. But do remember Ayesha, others have been made aware of him, it was because of me that nobody dared to come here. Take my advice and let your mother know of him. I will go now."
Saying that, he turned to me for a bit and smiled, and with that he disappeared from his place along with that little girl.
The things happened at that time... by others, I feel like he doesn't just mean the people from this planet.
Those people that came with that bastard king... they defined weren't from this planet, so that means a lot of spies have entered this planet.
If I remember correctly, the Elf queen is considered the strongest right now. Though, some say that dragon emperor is stronger.
But looking at that old lizard right now, I feel like he isn't anything below them.
I need to be careful for a while no... what did I forget I have a wife? She is enough to kill anyone that comes at me.
No need for me to worry.
Now I need to sneakily escape this place and go to that cave, which change everything for me.
I need to escape from Ayesha.
I turned my head to look at her, only to find that she was flustered.
But she quickly regained her composure back and came close to me.
I was still seated on the bed when she came in front of me.
Her gaze was soft and timid, she looked at me with worry as she cupped my face with her little hands.
"Are you alright now? What happened during awakening?"
Her voice was filled with worry and concern for me.
My body did gave out at that time. So her feeling like this was natural.
She is overly protective of me.
"I am fine now, aunt."
I responded to her with a calm voice.
Her eyes softened even more, but now there was a strange glint there.
I know it for certain, because i could perceive her emotions more.
"I am glad you are okay, dear." The frequency in her voice was a bit different.
I am sure, something is different about her today.
And I can say that for sure because this was similar to the tone Mother uses with me.
"Umm, aunt. Since the awakening is done now, I will go back to castle now. Mother must be getting anxious there."
I wanted to leave from here as quickly as possible.
And just as I tried to get up, she pushed me down again and said, "Wait. I have already informed Eleanor about you, so don't worry about that. And where is Setsuna, didn't she come with you?"
My face dulled a bit, hearing Setsuna's name again.
But I do realise that it cannot keep on becoming like this. I have already decided to go to her, and I am going to do just that.
"She has gone." I replied.
"Gone where?" Ayesha asked me.
"I do not know. She just said that she is returning to her hometown and disappeared."
I didn't try to hide anything from her. This was the truth anyway, but i still can't reveal about me to her.
And just as I had expected, Ayesha was confused at first but she then accepted it as if she had known already and exclaimed, "oh..."
This makes my hunch true. Ayesha already had an idea of who Setsuna was, and maybe that was the reason why she let Eleanor keep Setsuna close to her.
I was lost in thoughts and didn't notice Ayesha looking at me and when I did, she embraced me into her arms, my face getting stuffed between her two MASSIVE mounds.
"I never thought you knew how to feel sad. But I am glad that you act like every other child."
Saying that, she ruffled her hands on my hairs and gently patted my back.
"Don't worry, I am still here."
This feeling... it feels as if I am with mother. Ayesha is also a family to me, but I never felt this from her. She cherishes me very much and I feel her love for me too, but till now it was only a feeling that an adult gives to a child.
But this... this was different.
I closed my eyes and let her do as she pleased, and without knowing, I muttered something, "Thank you, mother."
I accidentally called her mother. But I didn't focus too much into it. She was like a mother to me anyways.
But that wasn't same for Ayesha. Being called mother changed her thoughts.
I couldn't see it, but that glint in her eyes grew more and more and a strange smile crept with on her face.
After being in that position for a while, Ayesha pulled back.
She was returned to normal and I couldn't find anything strange.
"Alright, now show me your core, i will try to bless your core. It won't just increase the quality of your mana that you will absorb but will also increase the size of your core and your absorption speed."
I gulped down hearing that.
She asked me to show her my core?
She wants to increase its size? It is already fucking massive, how much do you want to increase its size?
But it is for the better right? If i have even bigger core. But can it be increased more?
I am curious to know it.
I nodded my head, giving her my permission to continue. She can explore my everything.
But not my demonic core. I shifted it into my domain, so she cannot sense it if she looks inside my body.
"Okay, be patient, it will only take a while. That dragon girl awakened a mythical core just like Eleanor, so I am curious to know what did you awaken, who caused so much chaos." She happily said it and seemed to look forward to be surprised.
That little girl, awakened a mythical core? That lizard must be eating golds.
Damn that lucky bastard. But why did he asked Ayesha to not say anything about it?
Is he planning something?
A rebellion perhaps?
Nah, that lizard won't do something like this. He is the one who always follows the rules of never betraying their own kind and he values his morals very much.
Well, let's leave him for now. In this life, I would rather not have any relations with him, if I could.
I do not hate him, nor have any hard feelings(though I might have a bit, not too much). So it will be better if I just ignore him.
[A/N: As if things will go his way.]
Ayesha then placed her hands on my head and closed her eyes.
This felt odd at first, before I realised that she wasn't only checking my core, but my entire body and soul. To see if I was completely fine.
But when she found nothing, she smiled a little and only after that she proceeded to my core.
And as my first reaction, hers was the same... she was awed and mesmerised with it's divine aura.
It wasn't just big but looked magnificent as well.
She went closer to it and as she did that, her forehead twitched.
She was able to sense a terrifying presence from it and with that came an even more terrifying suction force, which almost pulled her into the core completely.
But she was quick to protect herself and covered her body with mana, but even that mana was getting sucked inside my core.
She felt terrified by it. It was actually a natural process of my mana, which I obviously had no idea of currently, but I turned it off quickly so she can do her work without a problem.
She went closer and her consciousness entered inside my core.
And the moment she did, her eyes widened with shock and terror.
Before her wasn't any core that she had seen before, it wasn't even the mythical core of legends, but a Godly core.
A core that was almost infinite.

Thanks for reading everyone.
I apologise for my complete disappearance for almost a week, but I am back now. I actually lost my motivation to write because I didn't get any features, but now I am fine and have decided to do this for a month. I don't care about the features anymore, but if this book does well, then I will continue this, but if it doesn't do well throughout this month, then we might have to say goodbye on this platform.
Hope it does well.
Stay tuned for more...
