Erin considered the condition Aura wanted to add to the deal as something good, after what man would not like more than one lover, even in her clan there were some elders who had two or three wives although some of them were just for the purpose of having children to try and see if they get a talented offspring.
There were a lot of planets on the White Fang galaxy that were not colonized due to the lack of manpower and that situation repeated on all the galaxies of the Wonder Myriad stellar chart because a lot of people died back on the invasion and even if it was a long time ago, the average people would not have a such a long lifespan so they were still recovering from that.
"I don't have a problem with your condition, but the final decision is up to the child so you can't force him, ok?".
…
"Fine… you seem quite protective with him; don't tell me he is the son of your secret lover or something like that hahaha, I don't blame you though after all the guy you had to marry back then was a jerk if you ask me".
Erin sighed, unlike the personality her friend show to the world she is actually quite open minded, that is why whenever the have a conversation is natural for them to joke with each other but right now the boy from who she was talking was listening to everything so she was wondering if it was a good idea to not tell Aura that other people were listening to the conversation.
"Ahem, he is not my biological son if that is what you ask, but I certainly took quite a liking to him so I do consider him a part of my family, leaving that aside I will visit you with him in a couple of days for you to meet him and then decide when we should make the public announcement", she said.
Aisha was amused by all this, "who would have thought that the matriarch of the Argent family who is known to be a battle maniac had such a… sense of humor, I guess half emperors tend to be eccentric", she thought.
The transmission ended and Erin kept her lector on the storage ring while she hugged Daimon.
"It's done, now little Daimon we have a couple of days to refine the plan a bit more, I have the solution for your hair color so we just need a new last name for both you and Aisha, also since your current physical age is not too different then she can act as your big sister on the academy, she can even enter the same class as you since the limit for being a first year is being less than 30 years old and being below the three-star mage rank".
Besides humans, who only changed their aging ratio by cultivating, the other races aged slower by nature so for them anyone below one hundred years old was considered a part of the younger generation, Daimon was relieved when Aisha explained that their appearance matched the concept on "young generation", so there won't be old men nor grannies attending the same classroom as him.
Magic was a complex study so the fact that one quickly advanced through the initial ranks didn't mean that he was granted to be a powerful mage on the future, it was a common thing that youngsters who were considered geniuses stagnated at some point and then were surpassed by others who at the start were slower to cultivate, so academies were more open minded on that aspect.
Especially due to the current Greenwich Sage who was the perfect example of that, it took him almost one thousand years to reach the Arch ranks which is considered slow but once he did it… his magic cultivation advanced by bounds and leaps to the point that he reached the peak of the Archmage realm in a mere five years something never seen before, so if anything was true on the miraculous field of magic is that, nothing is absolute.
Erin smiled.
"But all that can wait for later, little Daimon what do you say if we go to eat some delicious food right now ♥?".
"Yes", he answered.
Elizabeth guided them to the dining room, as the only half emperor of the Revy clan Erin had all her meals prepared by a selected staff which took turns to be available 24 hours the seven days of the week, she didn't even need to leave the mansion, there was a short-range transportation magic formation which allowed the chef's to sent the food whenever Erin asked for it.
Elaine ordered the food while the rest of them took seat to wait, of course Erin kept Daimon sitting on her lap which made Elizabeth remember her conversation with the werewolf matriarch.
"Mom, what did you mean when you said to that woman that little Daimon will live in your mansion… he and Aisha already accommodated at my place".
Erin put on a cunning smile.
"Nope, for "security" reasons little Daimon will live with me ♥, but I'm comprehensive so if you want you can also stay to sleep here if you want, it's not like you have anything to do anyway".
Daimon didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, "the only danger for him right now were them", he thought.
Having gotten the answer that she wanted, Elizabeth didn't continue with the discussion, after a moment Elaine returned with a lot of dishes floating around her, Erin saw Daimon's curious expression and she explained.
"Those who reach the Arch ranks generate a field around their bodies which allow them to have control over things as long as they don't resist, this "field" is what lately evolve to become their domain and it is also the reason as to why they are able to flight, however I will not explain much about it since it is a subject too advanced for you right now, learning all this is part of the fun you will get in the academy ♥".
With every thing Daimon discovered, his interest in magic grew more and more, luckily for him there was always something new to learn, some new application to a spell or some new magic technology that needed to be studied.
Unfortunately, Evangeline's laugh sounding in his mind broke his bubble.
"I'm so eager to when you go to the academy, a pervert which would also be a teen at that moment on a classroom surrounded by a lot of girls what could possibly go wrong hahaha".
Daimon wanted to reply but then he realized that she was right, currently he was still a kid and yet he already found the woman around him quite… attractive, "luckily mom will be with me so there is nothing to worry, it's going to be hard to find a girl as pretty as her", he thought while not noticing that unconsciously he started seeing Aisha on a different light than before.
Evangeline felt the change in his mood.
"Little by little you will get a hang of the soulmate function, after all on the future you are going to need their… support", she thought.
Daimon came out of his daze when he heard Erin's voice saying.
"Little Daimon say "ahh" ♥".
He felt a bit weird; it's been some time since Aisha fed him personally so he was already used to do it himself, still he accepted the food on the fork since it would rude to reject her offer.
"Woah, this tastes really good", he exclaimed.
Erin smiled and her ears moved a bit to show her happy mood.
"It's good that you like it, auntie will order lots of delicious food for you every day hehehe ♥".
Seeing their little exchange Elizabeth couldn't stay out of it so she also used her fork to pick a little piece of meat and offered it to him, since Daimon accepted the food from Erin, he had no other choice but to do the same with Elizabeth and before he noticed even Elaine and his mother were doing the same.
Daimon was enjoying this a lot, back when they lived with Naktis Aisha was the one that prepared all his meals since she always had to be on alert in case Victor tried to put something funny in their food, so it was quite refreshing to see his mother also enjoying something so basic as eating with people she considered family.
He stopped them from giving him more food before saying.
"I'm really happy that you have accepted me and mom as part of your family, my words might not worth anything right now but… if a day where you need help comes, then you can always count with me".
Aisha was happy that her son didn't develop confidence issues due to the actions of Victor, she never told her son to be on guard with the Naktis so she supposed he probably was in shock when they tried to kill him.
Little did she know that since Daimon's mind was older than his body, he could notice how she was always on full alert against them so even when they feigned to me friendly with to win him over, he never let himself be deceived by them.
Not only that but after seeing Aisha die in front of him, he had a deep burning hatred against the Naktis to the point where he wished he would be able to rip them all to shreds right now.
Erin shook her head, she made Daimon turn around to directly see her and while holding his face with her hands she said.
"There is no need to say something like that between family, do you know why Liz, Elaine and me liked you since the first moment we saw you?".
Both Elizabeth and Elaine exchanged gazes while smiles also flourished in their beautiful faces, Daimon nodded since that was also one of the questions that were bugging him, after all even if he was Aisha's son, treating a complete stranger so kindly was a bit suspicious.
"Because we know you are a good boy ♥", said Erin with a playful voice.
