Chapter 15: Grand Estate.
(Celia’s POV)
Besides Renie, who went off on her own, everyone else went to our estate. Wait… is it my estate? I think that it must be in either Yona’s or Solia’s name, or something. Though, with how loving they are, I have no idea, really…
Solia: “Celia, you won’t mind us staying with you, will you?” She asked.
Celia: “Huh? Why would I?” I reply with a head tilt.
Yona: “Good, good! Your estate always felt more homely, due to it being smaller.” She said with a happy tone.
Ah, so it is my estate, huh? And smaller!? What the hell do you mean… This place could rival the one that Guinevere let us stay in. And this was just for me?
Why is that, regardless of the life, these two pamper me? Even before, when Yona loved me as a woman, she still pampered me…
Ria: “As much as you wish it wasn’t so, you’re destined to be pampered, Dear. Of course, we do like it when you pamper us, but you clearly need it far more than we do.” She said with a laugh in my head.
Celia: “…”
Ria: “That is something that I will have to explain to the rest sometime.” She said with a serious tone.
Yeah, I guess that is the truth of the matter… By the way, I haven’t actually entered the estate yet. The gate was now before us, but no one went in, oddly. Luckily, Emma reminded me that there was magic on the gate, that only allowed me to open it. So I opened it up and let everyone in.
Even more lucky is that having fuzzy memories is a very acceptable excuse at the moment. After all, not only did I go through a plane crash and survive, but I also had to “survive” on an island as well. The logic checks out, and my parents won’t question me for being confused about certain things.
Solia: “Celia… We have some business to attend to, so we have to leave.” She informed with a reluctant tone.
Celia: “What kind of business?” I ask with a curious tone.
Yona: “Oh, nothing special. Someone tried to destroy one of our main businesses, so we have to go deal with it.” She answered in her wife’s stead.
Celia: “And how will you save that business?” I ask.
Solia: “We already saved it.” She answered.
Celia: “Huh? Then…” My words were cut off.
Yona: “We have to go kill the one responsible. Don’t worry, as we have already captured him. We’re just going to execute him. Nothing special, like I said.” She explained with a nonchalant tone.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
With a stunned expression on my face, my two parents left the estate. Mena was still tired, so I ask a maid to take her to her new room. Honestly, she was only tired because Mena had to fend off my parents trying to pamper her…
Celia: “Why did my parents just casually admit to going to execute a dude?” I ask with a confused tone.
Emma: “I didn’t lie about your family being powerful, but I did greatly understate how powerful they are.” She replied.
Ria: “How powerful are they? I am pretty curious.” She asked.
Emma: “In this dimension, there are ten most powerful families that practically control the world. At the top is your family, Celia. The Trestina family… we have been in power for a very long time.” She explained.
Celia: “I see… Does that mean that I can use magic?” I ask with an excited tone.
It hasn’t been that long since I could use magic. But damn, did I miss using it… If I was to make a comparison, think of downgrading from a $500,000, top of the line modern car, to one that was super old and only cost $1000. Shit sucks, if I am being honest. In the next reply, Emma ended my excitement with ease…
Emma: “Magic can’t be passed down, and only a few people will be able to, and are able to use magic. Both your parents can use magic, but you cannot.” She explained.
Celia: “Damn… At least I have those Nano Machines. Speaking of which, they never talk to me, nor do I have a display yet. Why is that?” I reply with a thinking pose.
Ria: “I have no idea, and I doubt that we will get any answers. If we want them, we would have to go find Annette and her people again.” She replied.
Emma: “I think that you’re lucky for them being silent, Celia.” She said with a sigh.
Celia: “How so?” I reply with a head tilt.
Emma: “Having various female voices in my head at all times… it honestly makes me feel like I am crazy.” She said with a groan.
Celia: “Eh, you get used to it.” I reply with a deadpan tone and expression.
Emma: “…”
With nothing else to do, I asked Emma to guide me to my room. In this life, I am already a full-grown adult. That being the case, what the flying fuck!? My room was so goddamn pink, and there were stuffed animals everywhere…
Ria: “So this is what you like, huh… I’ll make sure to remember this for when we get a new house.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “Please do.” I reply with an unbothered tone.
Ria: “…”
Emma: “Honestly, I informed Ria about this before. And we were hoping to get a good reaction out of you…” She said with a disappointed tone.
Celia: “Hey, I wish to be treated, and live like a spoiled and pampered pretty little princess. It would seem that, in this life, I didn’t deny my desires so heavily. I won’t deny them any longer.” I say with a serious tone.
Ria: “The amount of personal growth of yours that I’ve witnessed in this new timeline is a thousand times more than that in my original one. Which just makes me realize how much we neglected your desires the first time around…” She said with a sad tone.
Celia: “It’s okay. This time, we can do it better. And if we fail… fuck it. We can just start over again in some absurd way.” I reply with a warm tone and expression, giving my wife a hug.
Ria: “That is true…” She said with a smile.
Reassuring my wives is one of my jobs. One that I take very seriously. The past is the past; it isn’t something that can be changed. Of course, Ria and I did just that by going back in time.
But that is different. The timeline, according to Ria, is already far more different from the original one. In that sense, we didn’t undo anything. We just continued our lives on a new path.
Celia: “Now, could you two please leave?” I ask.
Emma and Ria: “Why?” They ask.
Celia: “I want to roll around in my bed and cuddle with my stuffed animals.” I answer with a smile.
With laughs, they left the room, leaving me alone to do as I pleased. Jumping on the bed, I was very happy. I don’t recall a time where I could ever have the chance to act, or do things like this. That being said, time to act like a spoiled little girl for fun!!!
