"My son has arrived, welcome home."
Aster observed his mother's sweet smile. He was alert the whole time, because there might be another trap already prepared by his mother. He stood in front of the door for a while until Grand Duchess stood from the chair and walked towards his son.
Aster took a step back out of reflex when his mother approached him. Maybe because it was a basic instinct, but his mother aura was really terrifying. He felt like he was facing a blood lusted monster.
"Oh my, look at you son, you are taller than me now!" Grand Duchess rejoiced. She tiptoed a bit in a comical way so Aster would relax, but it didn't seem to work.
Grand Duchess noticed the men who followed Aster. Her eyes turned sharp and she couldn't hide her loathing, she glared at each of them and contemptuously said, "So, all of you are the one who had influenced my son."
"They are innocent," Aster replied immediately.
