The scolding that I received from my parents was brutal. But I knew that I had to endure it, at the end it was my fault that they got worried. My mother got so worried that she asked for vacations. Well, having more time in family is not bad.
Now that my mother is not working, at least for the time being. I’ve been most of time with her and because she has free time, she started teaching me about the place of where we live. We are living in a kingdom called Alebha. This kingdom is part of the Three Supernovas. The Three Supernovas are the three most powerful kingdoms in the world. Alebha being one of them, the second kingdom is called Detroyr, and the third and last kingdom is called Roituk. Of the Three Supernovas, Roituk is the most dangerous kingdom. She said that there may be at least mages and warriors from the 7th to the 9th rank living in the kingdom.
“Wow” was the only thing I had on my mind. My mother is like an encyclopedia. I think that I may ask her questions instead of reading books.
Now, that I have spent most of the time with my mother, it seemed that I have grown more attached to her. I feel that I don’t want to leave her to leave me anymore. The feeling of having time with you mother was nice, even if you are just having lessons. I did really not remember having such a feeling before. In my past life, I lived with my mother for just nine years before she got murdered. Just by thinking on that, I feel like crying. But I won’t, I have to smile as I promised her.
Now that I think about it, because I almost had no time with my mother I barely know her. So, I decided to ask.
“Mom, can you tell me a about your past?” “How did you and my father met each other?”
I was bombarding her with a lot of questions because of how excited I was.
After hearing my questions, she laughed and said
“So you are a curious child after all?” “Well, I will tell you, but you have to promise to not tell anyone about it, okay?
After hearing her question, I just nodded. But I really wanted to know why I couldn’t tell anyone about it. I may ask her for the reason later.
Seeing my answer, she started telling me her story
“I did not born inside this kingdom. I was born inside the Roituk kingdom. I was part of the royal family of the royal family of the Roituk kingdom. My father, Ambrose Belmont, was the king. So, son that means that you’re from royal blood.”
After hearing that little part of her story, I was dumbfounded. But still intrigued for my mother’s past, I ask her to continue. So, she did.
“Your grandfather has blond hair like me. He is 6 feet 5 inches tall. He is a warrior of the 9th rank. He has a big scar on his forearm due to a battle against a mage of the 9th rank. Because he is a king, your grandfather has a big ego and pride. “
“On the other side, my mother, The Queen Sadina Belmont, is more humble. She is 5 feet tall like me. She has white hair, because of a trauma that she suffered. She never told me what happened to her. It seemed that she didn’t even told my father about it. She is a warrior of the 9th rank. She is the most powerful in the entire Roituk. My father is behind her by not much difference.”
When I was being told the story, I saw my mother with a prideful face. It seemed that she really love her parents.
Noticing that I was still interested on her story, she continued
“As a princess, I was taught how to behave, how to act, and so on. I had my privileges as the princess of the kingdom, but I never abused them in a way that it would beneficiated me. I am the only child of my parents. But I have never been spoiled by them, it seemed that they believe if they would’ve spoiled me, I would become an annoying brat.”
“I am no genius if you ask me, all that I’ve accomplished was due to my extensive work. If you ask me for a genius, I would point at your father. He was a genius since he was a child.”
“Your father has born inside Roituk kingdom too. He was a commoner, but as a said before he was a genius. The first time that I met was in school. We were in the best school that Roituk kingdom has, Schenlee. I got admitted inside the school because on my status while your father was admitted because of his talent”
“It seems that your father loved me since the first time he saw me. I believed so because every single time he saw my face, he was blushing. But the feelings were not mutual at that time. Instead of a boyfriend, I looked at him as a rival”
“Your father after noticing that, he got disappointed. But he never gave up on me. He would usually bring me flowers, which later on I would throw to the garbage because I really didn’t like them very much. But you father, reckless as always, did not give up and still pursued for my love”
“I didn’t think much of love at that time. I just was thinking about my studies and nothing else. But without notice, with the passage of the time, I’ve turned 18, and the day of my birthday I graduated from the school. Your father did too. I went out of the school as a 6th rank magician while your father as a warrior of the 8th rank. But two days after my graduation, I got a letter from my family. The letter said that I have an arranged married and that I should go as fast as possible because the wedding was in 3 months and they had to prepare themselves for it”

“As soon as I finish reading the letter, I started crying. I didn’t like the idea of marrying someone that I never met in my entire life. Your father, who notice me from far away and saw that I started crying, rushed after me and asked what happened. In the last years of my school life, your father became one my best friend, so I told him about my situation. Immediately, your father understood the situation. Still holding feelings for me, your father suggested the idea of becoming fake lovers.”
“Then, I ask your father how my parents would accept our relationship as “lovers”. I was sure that they would not accept a commoner as my lover. But then he said that we should try and if not he would think of something. So, I send a letter back to my family saying that I would not accept any marriage without my consent and that I was disappointed for what they did. I told them that I have a boyfriend, which I had planned to marry”
“With hope, that they would accept us. We decide that we should know ourselves better. So, we started spending more time together. We started to do activities together. And without noticing, I was having the time of my life. I started to fall in love with your dad.”
“So one day, your father took me to a special place. He took me inside of a forest, and we got to a place where was full of roses. Those were the most beautiful roses that I ever seen in my life. Noticing how I reacted, your father told me “Do you remember when we were at the school and I would usually brought you flowers. At the end, I noticed that you throw them to the garbage” “
“Hearing that my face went red because of how embarrassed I was, but he continued “I believed that the flowers were not your taste, so every single day I would try to find new flowers that were worthy for you. One day, I found this place and I knew that this would be something of your worth. Now I am giving you this place full of roses because since the first day that I saw you, I fell in love with you, and my love have never decayed once since that day. So, please accept this gift” ”
“I instantly started crying. This was the best gift that somebody have ever give me in my entire life”
“But he did not stop there, and he continued “when you told me that you were going to have an arranged married, I felt my heart breaking. I did not want to lose you to anybody, so I came with the idea of the fake lovers. But now, I cannot wait anymore. Your parents haven’t sent a reply yet, and my heart every single time is hurting because of that. I want to be with you, walk next you. I want you to be my wife. Please marry me, Annora” “
“Crying, I said yes. I looked at him taking a box with a ring out of his pocket, and when he put the ring on my finger. I kissed him”
“But the happiness did not last long, it seemed that my parents think that I may change my decision with the passing of the time. Noticing that I did not change my decision, they sent assassins towards your father. I don’t know how they got information about your father because I never told them how he looked like, or gave them any traits of him”
“Noticing that he was in danger by staying here in the kingdom. We escape”
“It wasn’t easy, because they were thousands of assassins that were searching him. We have encounter one or two in our way, but thankfully we escaped”
“After two months, we reach the Alebha kingdom. Thankfully, we lost the assassins. So, we started a new life”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that we changed our names. My real name is Selena Belmont, and your father real name is Arthur Reyes.”
I nodded, and she continued
“At the age of 21, I started teaching at Sinister School, which is the best school that we have in this kingdom.”
“At the age of 22, I became a mage of the 8th rank”
“At the age of 24, I got pregnant. I gave birth to my handsome son and that’s practically the story of my life”
I then said to my mom
“Thank you, mom for telling me this, and I hope that I did not make you relieve something that you did not want to remember”
“It is okay son, sooner or later you needed to know about this. Remember this, there should be no secrets between families”
With a guilty conscience, I said
“Okay”
And then, I hugged my mom and I said thank you for telling me this beautiful story.
