Duchess Dalia who could be considered one of the best beauties he had ever seen in his life was raining kisses on his forehead and cheeks.
She then proceeded to hug her face against his chest. He couldn't grasp the reality.
'W-what is this, what the hell is wrong with mother, what about Reineza?
"Kauf!"
A stabbing pain raced through her head once again.
"Alas, alas, what's the matter?"
Duchess Dalia who was still holding Raimon's face tightly to her chest looked at Raimon's face with concern.
****
Raimon may not know this, but Duchess Dalia is a very loving and kindly person.
Everyone in the Duchy knows how much the Duchess suffered during the separation of her children and all the rules in the Flower Family. She simply refrained from showing her emotions so as not to be considered weak within the family and to protect her children as best she could.
The day Reineza arrived with Raimon on her back unconscious, the whole aura of a blood warrior within the semi-God rank spread throughout Castle Cailleach.
Many people had no idea that the Duchess had managed to break into the Semi-God rank only a few days after Raimon's birth.
She was the second power in the Semi-God rank in the Flower family unknown to everyone.
Many spies spread throughout the Flower Duchy by many forces immediately ran from their hiding places to report that Duchess Dahlia might have made a breakthrough.
The Duchy of Flowers was in turmoil because of the possible advance of Raimon's grandfather. The former Duke Balar. The arrival of another Semi-God rank powerhouse in the Flower family was very scary.
"My lady, please calm down. We don't know what condition the Young Master is in right now. I think we should let a natural aura priestess be called. We need the help of Goddess Epona."
"The Young Master was attacked by a weapon with an aura of the abyss."
Hearing Reineza's words, Duchess Dalia repeatedly nodded her head.
She quickly moved on to using her natural blood aura to treat Reineza and Raimon.
When everything calmed down and Duke Raion was brought back from the Forest of Wailing and learned of the whole situation he didn't say a word and just left with 80 knights and warriors of the Duchy along with 20 black blooded warriors who were the elite of the family and started a large scale massacre throughout the Duchy of Flowers.
The spies who had begun to move to inform their respective families were pitifully met with Duke Raion's order to cleanse the entire Duchy and many of them were exterminated.
Years later, the day Raimon finally returned home from the Castle of Blood would be remembered as the "cleansing of the cult" throughout the Duchy.
This event would help Raimon a lot in the future when he was forming a group of partners for his future adventures by meeting many talented people who were destined to die at the hands of the various cults in the Duchy.

"Where are Sir Antonio and Sir Mariane, are they still not here?
"We have sent Vanessa to fetch them. They will be here shortly, madam."
"Yes, yes, of course, of course."
Duchess Dalia was still fidgeting, clearly not knowing what to do. She kept looking at Raimon with worried eyes.
"Sir! Sir, sir!
Someone opened the door and burst into the room. It was the nanny Reineza that Raimon saw for the first time since he awakening.
"Reineza! Where is Sir Antonio and Sir Mariane, why have you come without them?"
Duchess Dalia said in a stern voice.
"N, n, no! Please! Take a look outside. Look! Look outside!"
"What's all the commotion! Now, let's..."
Duchess Dalia froze as she turned her head to look out the window, while Reineza fell to the ground with a stunning face. The maids and knights along with the warriors and Duke Raion did not move to help the woman as they all looked out with blank stares.
Raimon also turned his head and stretched his upper body to look out directly where Reineza was pointing.
"....!!!"
Raimon's eyes widened as something entered his field of vision outside the window.
A huge, silvery aura looked in his direction with its gigantic silver eyes.
It was a majestic giant made of pure blood aura covered in silver armor from head to tail.
"Father..."
The name unconsciously escaped Duke Raion's mouth, even though it was a name he had never imagined saying before.

"Spiritual power is derived from the natural elements along with the compatibility of people with blood aura. In that case, where do your elements come from?"
It was a simple and short question. However, it was full of divine subtlety.
Imagine that they come from the related god or the blood origin of their users.
All-natural powers come from the primordial gods while those who reach God level with their blood aura alone have to trace their powers to the origin of their ancestors to know what ancient beast they had digested.
With a silver aura with thunder elements and the figure of a giant, there was only one person in the entire Flower family almost completely awakening his thunder giant blood in the Duchy and he was in meditation inside the mansion.
The former Duke Balar, it seems, managed to breakthrough.
A silver aura with thunder elements of this world unmistakably comes from the primordial god of thunder Thapir. He is the master of all lightning in the world.
Raimon thought hard as he continued to observe the changes.
