Ch 25: Not Neighbor Grass. Section 2

"Mmm, oh yeah sorry if Mom hasn't had time to tell you before. Actually, I came here to find Mr. Rudy. Yeah, because she helped your dad yesterday"(Anna BigRose)

"Why? What happened to Dad? Why didn't Mom tell me?"(Arlin)

Arlin asked frantically after hearing his mother's words.

"Ehem sorry, I just don't want to worry you? Yesterday for one thing, Dad was beaten by knights who were patrolling the harbor. But take it easy, Daddy you're okay there's nothing you need to worry about? Ahem. And when it was Mr Rudy who overcame those knights, he even healed your father's wounds? So Arlin, you should also thank Mr Rudy and be more polite from now on?"(Anna BigRose's)

Anna explains the incident that happened to them yesterday, then she also slightly reprimanded Arlin who seemed to be disrespectful to Rudy. Arlin gasped at what his mother said, then he slightly lowered his head

Here Rudy just stood there and watched them.

"Yes Mom. Sorry I had wronged you before. Rudy too? Thank you for helping my parents? Mmmmm, I will definitely repay your kindness"(Arlin)

Arlin apologizes to his mother and also thanks Rudy.

"Ahh, there's no need to hesitate like that. I just happened to be there, and I just happened to know the knight. So there is no need to be too exaggerated, ahem. maybe later I need your help too I think. Yes, where I come from helping people in distress is common. So let's just say what I do is common, ok?"(Rudy).

Because she feels a bit bad about Arlin's over-treatment, Rudy makes an excuse for Arlin to behave as usual to her.

"Eh? Yeah, thank you. And also because we have not had time to get acquainted before, then I will introduce myself now. I'm Arlin BigRose, please cooperate from now on"(Arlin)

"I also apologize for not introducing myself. I'm Rudy, please work together as well"(Rudy)

Rudy and Arlin have officially met.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to greet you properly, as I have to leave immediately to complete my Quest. Hmmm what if I treat you tonight? Are you sparing tonight?"((Arlin)

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't mind"(Rudy)

"Hmmmmm. How about we take Mr. Rudy to dinner at our house? Your father would have loved to hear it"(Anna BigRose)

Anna who initially only observed the chat Rudy and Arlin also gave his proposal. Then Arlin turned his head and wanted to say something, but Rudy spoke first.

"Ohho, it's an honor for me. Uhums. If the Madam's family doesn't mind then I will accept this offer. I have also recently arrived in this city, so I think it would be good to be able to berso. Ehem. means hanging out with people here"(Rudy)

"Silver. Then it's decided that tonight we'll have dinner together at home. The arlin? you should come later tonight, too, so you can't come home late?"(Anna BigRose's)

"Yes Mom. Mmm, looks like it's time for me to go ma'am. I'll be home early, so Mom, please? Also Boby, Pedro? Brother wants to go to work first yes, you two don't be naughty. I'll buy you all good food. Uhums. And Rudy, see you tonight? Ok. Then I go first"(Arlin)

"Don't push yourself too much? Well, I'll talk to Mr. Rudy for a minute, and then we'll go home. Be careful when running the Quest?"(Anna BigRose's)

"Yes Ma'am"(Arlin)

"Ok. spirit then"(Rudy)

Both Arlin's younger brothers simply nodded their heads with a smile. It seems like his two younger siblings are indeed shy children, it's only natural that the two of them have only been quiet and continue to pay attention. What the hell are these adults talking about. That was roughly what both of Arlin's sisters had thought all along.

And after finishing saying his greetings Arlin also slightly bowed his head to his mother, he also pinched the cheeks of his two sisters. Then he slightly forced a smile on Rudy and turned away leaving them.

But just a few steps he walked, Arlin was a little worried because Rudy and his mother had returned engrossed in doing their conversation while starting to walk also behind him.

Hhmmmm, obviously This Man is Dangerous!

That's what Arlin thinks of Rudy.

But Arlin continued his steps and left them behind.

Well, he should finish his Quest soon and go home early today.

Resume.

After Arlin left this inn, Rudy continued his chat with Lady Anna in the lobby while drinking tea.

Rudy also ordered cakes and drinks for Boby and Pedro until they finally began to dare to talk to Rudy.

Well, Rudy knows very well how the trick in taking children's hearts.

And after they talked for about 1 hour, Anna said goodbye and the three of them returned home.

Time pass...

Now it's dark.

But inside her room, Rudy was pacing around while thinking of something that was troubling her mind.

Now Rudy has taken a bath and is dressed well because tonight he will go to dinner at Arlin's house. But he was confused, because he did not know where Arlin's house was.

Will Arlin pick her up and go to her house together?

Or should he go there himself?

That was what Rudy was thinking about to make him confused at this moment.

"Ah, was I supposed to drive Miss Anna home? That way I'll know where they live, right? Hhmmm. This is all my true man's principle! I shouldn't have to be too concerned about those unclear ethics. Hhhmm, I think taking someone else's wife home is also a good thing? Well, if it's like this I can only hope that Arlin comes to pick me up here. Hhhmmm Yeah, like that?"(Rudy)

Rudy started talking alone in his room.

It is unfortunate because Rudy is a little stupid when it comes to things related to social interactions like this.

At the same time in another place.

At this time Arlin and his mother are having a secret conversation between them.

"What about your work these days, is it exhausting?"(Anna BigRose's)

Anna asked Arlin.

"Same as always. My work is not exhausting either. In fact I was happy because the Quest prize from the guild was quite large, so little by little I began to be able to save it. Mmmm what about Dad. Have you caught a lot of fish lately?"(Arlin)

Arlin also answered his mother's question, he also asked about how his father's work lately.

And the conversation between the two continues.

"Yes, as usual the catch has not been very good lately. But is it okay, it is enough to cover the daily living needs of our family? After all, I've been trying so hard for our lives all along"(Anna BigRose)

Arlin tried to cheer up his mother a little.

"Sorry if as parents we trouble you, Arlin? It should be our parents who are obligated to take care of you. But now we have to trouble you for everything? Mmmm if only Mom could convince your dad"(Anna BigRose)

"Dad and Mom don't have to feel that way? Am I happy because now I can help our family a little? But still I will never forgive that perverted King! Just because Mother refused to be the head of the palace witch, she exiled and called our family traitors! I will definitely reply to her later!"(Arlin)

Arlin also said a word that made Anna a little worried.

"Arlin is enough! Don't bring up that problem again?"(Anna BigRose's)

Anna tried to stop him. But Arlin still did not stop and continued his words so they both argued a little, because.

"Why can't I repay them? That perverted king is just a disgusting heartbroken man!"(Arlin)

"Will!"((Anna BigRose's)

"Mother? Mom and Dad don't have to cover this up anymore. Now I'm an adult. I've known all the stories about that King who has loved Mom for a long time? That man, I swear I'll kill him!"(Arlin)

"........"(.Anna BigRose's)

Anna remained silent.

He did not know how to answer Arlin's statement.

Arlin was not wrong if he wanted to retaliate for all the treatment that had befallen their family all along.

Buty?

"Arlin Listen! Mom and Dad just want you all to live a quiet and happy life. Is that all? We accepted exile at that time with the aim of keeping you all out of the grip of the kingdom. So forget about it and let's get on with our lives here as usual. Gradually everyone will also forget our BigRose name"(Anna BigRose)

"But when?"(Arlin)

"That's enough, don't make me repeat it!"(Anna BigRose's)

Anna slightly exuded her aura oppressing him and snapping at Arlin!

"Mmmm Yes Ma'am. Sorry?"(Arlin)

Arlin immediately softened and immediately apologized to Anna.

Now he remembered that he had been a little afraid of his mother.

Well, young Anna BigRose is a highly respected witch figure in this kingdom. She was the most talented witch of the time.

Anna, who is the child of the BigRose noble family, has been such a prominent figure since she was a child. She eventually became an advanced witch at the age of 15 and entered the elite ranks in the kingdom. That's where he became friends with the figure of Prince Ranzel. But for some reason when he was 20 years old Anna even married his father Arlin who at that time was just a new noble who was appointed because of his military achievements. This clearly makes Prince Razel disappointed because he has been fond of Anna for a long time.

So that's how Prince Ranzel continues to try to separate Anna and Arlin's father in various ways. He even instigated the BigRose family which resulted in Anna being ostracized by her family.

Years passed until Arlin and his younger siblings were born, but the figure of Ranzel who had become King was still not given up there was Anna.

And the peak happened about 5 years ago.

At that time this kingdom was in conflict with the kingdom of Animal and on the grounds of the war that will occur, the King asked Anna who is an advanced witch to be the head of the palace witch team. Arlin's father, who knows the King's true intentions, insists on banning Anna.

Then, through the support of nobles including the BigRose family and with a little propaganda, King Ranzel issued an order of exile and branded their families as traitors for defying the King's orders.

Such was the short story of what had happened to the Arlin family back then.

Resume...

"Yes, no need to think about it. I'm sorry for yelling at you, too? Now you take a shower and give it. Don't make Mr Rudy disappointed with your performance tonight?"(Anna BigRose's)

After seeing Arlin who had calmed down, Anna stopped her oppressive aura.

Anna then spoke again as usual. He also reminded Arlin to get ready for tonight's event immediately.

"Mmmmmm, yes I'm very curious why do you respect this Rudy so much? What is so special about him?"(Arlin)

Because it was strange to see the behavior of his mother who respected Rudy very much, Arlin asked that question.

Because Arlin thought there was no way this Mother he had known for a long time would behave like that just because Rudy had helped them before.

Well, there's gotta be another reason.

That's thinking.

"You'll find out later. Fufufu"(Anna BigRose)

But Anna did not answer Arlin's question. He even showed a meaningful smile.

"Mmmmm Mother?"(Arlin)

Because of her curiosity, Arlin still kept trying to ask this matter.

"Sorry, I can't confirm it either. But all you have to remember is to be respectful to him from now on. Understood?"((Anna BigRose's)

"But what is the reason? I really want to know?"(Arlin)

"Do you think you can beat Mom?"(Anna BigRose's)

"Of course not!"(Arlin)

"It's good if you can still realize that. Ahem. Take a shower and give it a beautiful bath. Because beauty is the most powerful weapon owned by women Fufufufufu. Later you will also understand about this"(Anna BigRose)

"Yes ma'am, I will remember it"(Arlin)

After saying that, Arlin immediately went to the bathroom and the secret conversation between them ended.

And this is how it happened.

Arlin and his mother also did not think at all how Rudy would visit their house.

Seriate...
