"Mother, actually it is about my training. According to my master, I will be going on a special training tomorrow, however, it will take like a week or even more, to be completed. So I came to tell you mother that I won't be coming back home for a while."
When Lilith heard what Ainz said, she immediately got worried ever since the day her son said he wanted to become a cultivator, she realized he had begun to change, she had once been a mage so she was sure she wasn't just assuming things.
Although she wanted to ask him about his training, she knew he might not tell her the truth and might even hide things from her, she couldn't help but blame herself, if she hadn't lost her powers then years ago he wouldn't have been treated this way by the kalamas family.
However, while she was worried she couldn't help but look at her son, when she did, it was then she noticed something. While he might have changed, his eyes had become sharper and sturdy, he was like a mountain, strong and unmovable.
It was then it dawned on her, the child that was just learning how to walk back then, had grown up and was now becoming a man of his own, she understood he had decided to chose this path, and there was nothing she could do that would change his mind, as she thought this tears filled her eyes, but she barely managed to hold it in, with teary eyes she touched his cheeks and held them in her warm palms.
"Ainz, promise your mother that you won't do anything reckless or dangerous."
As he looked at her, he could not help but feel a bit sad, she was the only one who had cared, loved, and shown him affection, even when she wasn't sure he would become great in life, she loved him as her child, but then he couldn't stop what he was doing, it wasn't because she wasn't important enough but he didn't want to live an ordinary life.
"Relax, mother, I am not going to do anything reckless or even dangerous, besides my master will be there all the time to watch me, and I heard he is really strong, so I can guarantee that my life won't be in danger of any sort."
"I don't care, just promise me"
When he heard her pout, he smiled a little, her plea had always been absolute and immovable.
"Okay, Mother, I promise, I will be careful."
Even though he had just lied through his teeth, the only reason he did so was because he didn't want her to worry, or stop him, if she knew the truth he was sure she would create a scene, which was something he didn't want.
After cleaning her eyes a bit, she walked towards him and then hugged him tightly, with a peck on his forehead, she adjusted his clothes a bit, before looking at him with a warm bitter smile.
"Now you are free to go, but do not do anything reckless or dangerous, your life is more precious to me than anything in this world, the job of a mother is to take care of their child and make sure they are safe and sound, remember your mother's blessings are always with you."
After she said that, Ainz gave a deep bow and then left back to his room, once he got back he took in a deep breath, before entering his sea of consciousness.
Usually, he would only enter if he was training, but today he wasn't but was simply focusing his mental energy on the treatment that would happen the next day, reviewing the various steps, and whatnot, and then preparing his mind for the task.
While he was confident he could handle the pain, he still thought it was better to prepare himself properly in case of any unforeseen incident, after all, the number of people who had died during the treatment were more than 85%, and then the remaining 15% no one knew if they were alive after the treatment or not.
It was the reason why Bruce was scared, and worried, even in the entire kalamas family, no one was bold or to be precise crazy enough to train in it, eventually when he thought it was enough, he left the mental sphere and lay on his bed.
'Now that I lied to her, I have to survive at all costs, even though I am confident that I can survive it, I still need to be careful.'
After that, he closed his eyes and then went to sleep. The following day, Ainz woke up and prepared himself properly, before going to the appointed place where he could already see Bruce waiting for him with a solemn expression.
When he saw him, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He was still expecting the kid to make a sudden change of mind, but the determined and focused look on the kid's face, delivered a blow to his mind.
"Do you have any questions before we move to the place?"
Ainz thought for a moment, before he asked with a soft voice.
"The place where we are going is soundproof, right? I don't want mother to hear me."
Bruce was surprised when he heard him, usually, anyone would be worried about their life, but the crazy kid instead was worried that his mother would hear him, he coughed a bit before replying.
"Kid, I didn't want to reveal this to you until we arrived, but the place we are going is an underground prison of the outer ring. This is a place we use in torturing criminals, even killing people who went against the Kalamas family, and since the time of its existence till now, no one besides some of the important guards knows such a place existed.
Ainz nodded, after he heard what he said, this erased the little worry he had in his mind, before saying.
"Then, I am ready."
