Crius did not expect such sudden offer and was startled. He never liked, how a kingdom works and operates. The choice to join an army, where he would be only stuck and serve an kingdom, is simple.
„Thank you, Sir. I will think about it, if it's worth it. I'm aware that such offers are very rare, but I need time to think of the pros and contras of such a decision. My life can be endangered and there is simply no choice to resign, once I serve the Kingdom."
The Guardians were again amazed at the fact, that he spoke like an adult.
„You would be a very great Soldier or Guardian! No need to worry, we won't force a citizen to join the Kingdom Army without a proper reason. Have a great day"
The Guardians left and walked away.
After some distance, the Left Guardian marveled said: „I can't believe, that the hottest chick in this village has such a great son."
„Stop becoming horny, you know how many times we have come and she never bothered with you?"
„This time she wasn't here, it doesn't count, but after such a offer, we could bring in some conditions. I could make her life so great, yet she sticks here in this trashy village. Most are only Spirit Nurturer and Rosy is already Spirit Strengthener. Her beauty and strength suits my handsomeness. We are the perfect pair. We need to force her to become my wife."
„Shut up, you always become selfish, once situations are presented to you. That kid has a great potential. The fact, he knows of decision-making, consequences and advantages are aspects of a great future. He is also very smart...actually too smart for his age. Once he is older, he could become a great leader. This big fish, I will get him and the rewards of our Commander!"
The Left Guardian rolled his eyes at that statement. Weren't you the one who told me I'm greedy?
Suddenly, the Left Guardian was starred and saw a beauty, he wanted to meet earlier.
A young lady with porcelain skin and soft cherry-red lips was seen. Her ruby-red hair was dazzling, while her cyan eyes shined with exotic charm, making someone believe to look at the endless ocean. She had a hourglass-figure, that in a beautiful black vintage floral long puff sleeve chiffon dress, highlighted her beautiful long legs and perfect curves on her big buttocks and chest. She was also holding a basket with fruits.
By seeing this stunning goddess, the Left Guardian immediately approached her.
„Hey Rosy, do you need help with the basket? I would always help you and you know that." he said, acting cooly.
Rosy was walking excitedly on the road to her home after work, while birds chirped on the trees. She was always happy to see her son and felt a excitement, but after seeing a random man approaching her, she was annoyed.
„...Who are you again?"
„I'm the guy who visits you often and gives you gifts." he said, slightly annoyed that she doesn't remember him.
„Oh, you mean you are the one who keeps asking for taxes. I do now and sorry for forgetting. My son is awaiting me at home, so no need."
„...y-yes, that's me.." he desperately said.
I forgot that she is really merciless, but that's quite tempting. Maybe next time!
The Red Guardian said, after waiting for his buddy to be word-shot by her:
„Miss Rosy, your Son has great potential. We can offer him a position in the Kingdom Army and give him support for progressing. Naturally, there would be also no need to pay taxes anymore, as he serves the Kingd-„
After interrupting him, Rosy annoyed said: „My Son is great, no need to tell me. Who do you think, he inherent his genes from? I won't let him join the Army, I'm not stupid. There is a high chance to die. He is only three, yet your offering something dangerous. I'm sorry, but declined. Goodbye and I will pay the taxes later."
She walked away without looking back and left the Guards speechlessly back.
...
Rosy was finally at the front door and happily opened it, hoping to see her son.
„Mom is ba-„
„Huh?"
Rosy saw her own son cultivating and she noticed, he was already close to Spirit Nurturer. To gather Spirit Qi is a hard task for the people in the village, because it has a bad environment, yet she sees her own son cultivating, as if it's nothing.
Crius seemed to feel her amazement and could only smirk. He felt very proud that he wanted to also brag, but hindered himself to at least act his age.
„Whats up, Mom?"
He said, as he stood up.
„I'm amazed. You are almost at Spirit Nurturer...Are you really a three year old child?"
She said, while completely shocked.
„Haha, Mom cultivating is really easy! Why did you never tell me? I can't feel you correctly, you must be stronger than me?"
„Of course, your Mother must be strong enough to protect her own child. If you keep this up, you could reach my strength."
Crius was quite confident in himself and wanted to approach a closer relationship with his mother. He decided to do a bet, because his mother liked to bet.
„How about we make a bet? If I reach your cultivation in under one month, I have a wish and if I don't make it, you can make a wish. Are you in?"
„Hmm, to be honest, I don't think you can make it, but I will cheer for you!"
„..can you just say yes or no, instead of depressing me?"
He pretended to be hurt and clinged at his t-shirt.
Rosy noticed his faked impression and understood directly. She said with a seducing gaze:
„Oww, does my baby boy need some care and love from his Mother? Come here, let's get to the bedroom and relax for the evening."
Crius was surprised and he thought, I really don't know if she really is my Mom or a Lover anymore.
