"Wait Ms. Yael!"
"Hm? What is it Jean"
"Be careful..."
Yael's face went still for a second before she let out a warm chuckle
"Haha... look at you being all worried about me... Don't fret! Your master is strong!"
Yael said before jumping off the wagon and disappearing into the woods
...
[Jean : Aish... Yael is as selfless as always]
His thoughts were interrupted by Elena abruptly tapped his back, Jean was surprised and smacked her arm off ready to snap it off, he did this because of the current situation right now... right now there was a demon out in the woods that was able to kill hundreds of deer demons.
"Wow! Sorry for surprising you! But can you let go of my arm?" Elena laughed.
"H-huh?... Oh im sorry! I-I was just... uhm"
"It's fine really! I know the reason why you are on such high alert..."
Jean was confused, he was sure that him and Yael were whispering.
"Hehe it's because my amazing teacher taught me how to utilize my senses to the max!"
Hearing Elena say this made him blush... he never knew getting complimented like this would feel so rewarding.
"S-stop it"
Jean moved over so Elena could sit next to him on the seat.
"The others are asleep now... do you think her royal highness will be alright?"
"Of course she will be, she can handle atleast four deers at once"
Jean said as he stared at his feet avoiding eye contact with Elena, She seemed to notice this and stretched her arm out to comfort Jean by running her fingers through Jean's hair.
"W-what are you doing" Jean said as he continued to look down while panicking no one has ever come close to touching his head.
"Comforting you? You might be trying to pretend to look fine Infront of everyone else... But you can never escape from the intuition of a mother..." Elena said with a small grin on her face "Is it working?"
"Haaah... I'm a pathetic teacher aren't I? Being comforted by his own student like this..." Jean mumbled trying to hold back his tears
"... Don't say that..." Elena replied as she wrapped her one arm around Jean's head and felt his tears soaking into her sleeves. " Look at me now, I'm much stronger now! Your a very good teacher..."
Jean felt at ease whenever he talked to Elena,
"Elen-... Mrs. Elena I want to tell you something!"
"Hnnn? What is it, you can tell me" Elena said while her pure eyes were staring at Jean's face, it lowkey made him feel uncomfortable... but it was better than if she was not looking at him.
"W-what I wanted to tell you was-"
"Mother?" Siun mumbled in his sleepy voice
As soon as Jean hears Siun's voice he quickly jumped away from Elena and rubbed his face back to it's normal expression.
"Siun? Why are you up so late?"
"I-I had a bad dream..."
[Tex : Bad dream my ass! You were eavesdropping on their whole conversation!]
[Siun : OH YEAH?! I'm not gonna have some guy just steal Elena away from Silas! He was definitely going to confess his feelings!]
[Tex : How do you know that?! I don't think Jean is the type of person to go after a married woman! yet alone one with a child!]
[Siun : Yea well who knows?! Better safe than sorry!]
"Are you okay now Siun? Do you want me to go sleep with you?"
"Mom get away from that man!"
Elena and Jean were both surprised... but for different reasons
Jean was surprised that Siun might knew what he was trying to do, and Elena was surprised that her son would raise his voice in the middle of the night.
[Jean : This little kid!]
Jean was getting irritated so he slowly walked up to Siun to confirm his suspicions
[Siun : Shit! Is he going to kill me and Silas to start his own family with Elena?!]
[Tex : Get ready!]
[Siun : Oh shit is he really going to beat up a 3 year old?!]
When Siun heard what Tex said he quickly ducked, hoping to dodge the punch he thought was coming... but Jean didn't punch him at all, instead Siun got hit with another massive headache and dizziness.
"Siun?! Are you okay?! Jean do something!"
"I-im sorry Mrs. Elena but I can't cure a mysterious illness! But let me take a look at him! Maybe I can do something to temporarily get rid of the symptoms!"
Jean said as he walked closer to Siun, who was sweating in Elena's arms.
He reached his hand out to Siun's head to check if he had a fever first but then
...
Siun threw up on Jean
[Siun : Ahhhh... Now I've done it]
Were his last words before he fainted and went back to sleep once again
