Chapter 10: A Mother's Little Trick



"Mama-Mama! Hug!" The adorable Little Rose said as she ran to the edge of her bed in a wobbly manner, seeming as if she was about a fall down.

In a hurry, Ria, whose emotions changed from passionate heat to motherly affection, quickly jumped from Marius's embrace and held her daughter.

Marius felt a bit dishearted, he scratched his leg with a defeated expression, but he soon looked at the scene with a warm look.

Ria was now holding the joyous Little Rose, lifting her with her palms holding her by her armpits, she rose her up above her head and teased, "Did my Little Rose worry about me?"

Little Rose had somewhat moist eyes as she spoke in a slightly unclear manner, "I... I was worried Mama was Swick!"

"Aww... my sweet Little Rose, worry no more, your mother is fine," Ria said as she gently held her against her body, patting her head in a comforting manner.

Little Rose felt at peace as she laid her head on her mother, her small palms grasping the cloths on her dress as she smiled and spoke, "Mama, I... I'm glad."

Ria felt sweet on the inside; she held Little Rose on her ample chest, the soft cushiony feeling inspiring a wave of comfort to Little Rose. Marius seeing this looked away, he didn't want to admit it, but he was feeling jealous of his daughter.

Grevlin being the obedient little boy he was, calmly stood at the side before he raised his hand and grasped Ria's dress corners.

Ria turned and looked at him, noticing that his expression was one of longing. While holding Little Rose, she stooped down and patted his head as she spoke, "My Little Grev-Grev, what's wrong? Were you also worried about your mother?"

Grevlin bit his lips and nodded as he rests his head against her belly, Ria's face turned even gentler as she spoke, "There-there now, as I've said to your sister, I am fine, so come on, chin up, big boys don't cry, you have to be strong for your little sister."

As if he agreed with Ria's words, Marius only spoke at this time, "That's right, Grevlin, you can't show weakness as the big brother, come with me."

Grevlin hearing this hurriedly let go of his mother's dress and replied to his father, "Yes dad,"

Ria turned and looked at Marius, who was now standing with Grevlin, seeing a stern look on his face as she sighed, she thought to herself, 'It seems that he's pushed his training regiment for Grev-Grev far earlier than planned... I truly curse this world for bringing us here...'

Not long after, Marius had begun to leave the room with Grevlin, but as he reached the door, he slanted his head to look at Ria as he spoke, "Ria, we'll speak about that matter tonight, for now, rest well our child. Also, please greet the owner of this house, he was the one to offer us shelter..."

Ria looked at Marius deeply as she sighed and spoke, "Alright husband, I'll be here when you get back,"

Marius smiled no longer saying anything as he left the room with Grevlin at his side, now only Ria and Little Rose were left.

Little Rose looked up at her mother's face and saw that she had a slightly sad look, she asked innocently, "Mama, are you sad?"

Ria sighed, hiding her feelings from her daughter, she pinched her cute little nose and spoke, "Of course not, now come on, let's go greet the owner and go play outside."

"Owner?" Little Rose asked confusedly, but as she was a smart little baby girl, she remembered the big mountain man, causing her face to shock fear.

"Mama! He's big and bad!" Little Rose said in a hurry, her small body trembling, which caused Ria to look at her and sigh as she thought to herself.

'So he's able to inspire your inborn Hell Sense, this might be a more troublesome meeting than I'd thought...' Ria pondered as her crystal-like purple eyes shone in a strange ray.

Soon though, she cleared her thoughts and tried to ease her daughter's worries, she spoke, "My cute Little Rose, I will teach you a trick to let all bad guys turn good."

"Trick?" Little Rosed asked with a confused look on her face.

Ria found it adorable, but she held back and assumed a teaching appearance; she grabbed Little Rose's hand and brought it to her chest, placing her palms on top of her tiny beating heart.

Ria then said, "Rosey, look, whenever you place your palms on top of the chest, so long as you say to yourself, all fears will go away, you will never be afraid of anyone again."

Little Rose hearing this was a bit puzzling, but she tried to do it, "All... All fwears will go..."

She was about to say something, but Ria shook her head and spoke again, "No, you have to say it with your mind, and only when you feel in danger, okay?"

Little Rose made a slightly confused look, but her large eyes soon after flashed as if she understood, she nodded her head and replied with a smile, "Okay!"

Ria smiled at her daughter's intelligence; she patted her head before leaving the room, heading downstairs. Soon, she caught sight of the neatly structured furniture and furry mats.

Ria's face turned stern, as unlike Marius, she felt a tinge of danger from the furry mats on the ground. A danger like no other, as if in each of them was residual intent that of its former self.

Ria then looked outside, gazing at the gorgeous scenery, she noticed that a few other mountains were lined across the horizon, as towering trees had encompassed most of their surroundings.

A fresh and cool air, seeping within her body, carried within it an abundant amount of pure energies that Marius had also failed to notice.

'This place... where is here? How can it have such a rich Mystic Power?' Ria thought while looking around in shock, but her eyes soon after turned back to the fur mats, she pondered with a solemn face, 'If these monster skins are what I think they are... then who in the world could...?'

Ria tried to think, but suddenly, the sound of wood being cut sounded from the outside. Hearing this sound, Ria glanced at noticed that a familiar old man was cutting wood around a tree stump.

A resonant, but oddly synchronic sound, as if each stroke of the ax was in harmony with nature. For each swing of this ax, Ria felt as if it was not only cutting the wood but herself. It was as if above her was a giant ax, and she was nothing more than a block of wood to be cut.

In this instance, a giant had appeared over her, holding the ax, it was none other than the Mountain Ax Senior, who gazed down at her with sharp eyes that glowed in blue light.

Ria mouth when wide in shock, as her face was filled with terror, her Hell Sense striking her with a profound sense of danger.

Yet, as if this scene wasn't shocking enough, what became even more alarming was the scene that happened next, as Little Rose placed her small palms of her chest and spoke innocently. Her words created a scene that caused not only the Mountain Ax Senior but also Ria, who taught her this mantra to look at her in complete shock.
