Chapter 444: Ignorant Mother and Daughter

After tearing the note in his hand into pieces and flushing it into the sewer, Eros returned to the hall and sat down again.

All he had to do next was wait until nightfall.

Time passed quietly as the women in the living room chatted.

At half past six in the evening, Natalia stood in front of the window and silently watched the last ray of light in the sky being swallowed by the deep darkness, and the night enveloped the world.

Will he come?

A trace of worry flashed across Natalia's eyes. She might not have been so worried in the past.

But a few days ago, when she went to the party again after half a month, she heard a piece of news at the party.

It was this news that made her a little uneasy, so much so that she hesitated for a long time before sending the news she sent to him through Shadow Crow.

There are fragments of the kingdom of the goddess of night on the Lost Island, which contain the blasphemous secret of how mortals can become gods.

This news was what she heard at the party, and after hearing this news, her mind suddenly buzzed and she was terrified.

Isn't this the secret he told her? Why did the entire mysterious circle of Haidaram know about it now?

He would definitely not tell others about this secret involving their ancestors.

But why do so many people know it now? Will he think that he leaked the secret?

This is what Natalia is most worried about at the moment, and she is also extremely afraid of this.

What if he really thinks that she leaked the secret and doesn't want to meet her again from now on?

Natalia hesitated and was afraid for a few days, and finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity of her promotion to Sequence 6 to invite him to meet.

Then she explained to him in person that it was not her who leaked their family's secrets.

But after sending the message, she began to worry again. What if he ignored it after receiving the message?

Natalia waited for a whole day in anxiety, and now the night is finally coming.

Will he... come?

"Mom! Get ready for dinner."

Ayesha stuck her little head out of the kitchen door and shouted to her mother who was standing by the window and staring blankly at the outside world.

This mother is not sensible at all. She just waits for food every day and does nothing.

She is so old, and I, as her daughter, have to take care of her. Ayesha pouted, and her little face was a little depressed.

Natalia, who was standing by the window, shook her head after hearing her daughter's words, and said reluctantly:

"You eat first, don't worry about me."

Ayesha nodded, then brought the prepared dinner to the table and ate it alone.

Natalia: "..."

No, you really eat alone first?

What I meant by that sentence was just to let you persuade me, and then I ate half-heartedly.

Isn't my meaning obvious? Why did you really eat first?

Natalia took a deep breath. What a terrible daughter, not sensible at all, just eating all day long.

I don't know how the heir of the elf bloodline likes her like this.

Natalia, who was depressed for a while, finally obeyed her appetite, walked to the dining table and sat down, put her chest on the table, and dealt with the food in front of her without saying a word.

After dinner, Natalia stood by the window and waited for a while. When she saw that the man still didn't come, Natalia showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

She sighed deeply, restrained her mood, and then walked towards the entrance of the basement.

Seeing this, Ayesha said with some concern:

"Mom, why don't you try to advance in a few days? You are not in the right mood for advancement now."

"It won't be too late to advance after you have sorted out your mentality in a few days."

Hearing her daughter's words, Natalia shook her head and said:

"I can control my mentality, no problem."

As she said that, she continued to walk towards the basement. Ayesha also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Natalia:

"When you advance to Sequence 6, you will ignite the spiritual fire to communicate with the spiritual world. At that time, there will definitely be many weird things trying to erode my soul."

"If you get too close to me, you will be easily affected by those weird things, so you wait for me outside the basement."

Seeing that her daughter's face was still worried, Natalia comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, I am sure."

After that, she walked into the basement.

At the entrance of the basement, after her mother entered, Ayesha moved a small stool and sat there quietly waiting.

In the basement, Natalia just sat down in the auxiliary ritual formation that had been arranged in advance.

The next second, a figure covered in a layer of shadow walked out of her shadow, and then hugged her in his arms.

"Why don't you wait for me to come before trying to advance!"

Hearing the slightly distorted words behind her and feeling the familiar embrace, Natalia confirmed the identity of the person behind her in just a moment.

She ignored the hug of the person behind her, but turned around and hugged the person tightly, and then said in a somewhat anxious tone:

"Listen to my explanation first!"

Eros paused slightly, ah? What happened?

Fortunately, Eros didn't have to wait any longer. After saying that, Natalia continued:

"The news that there are fragments of the Kingdom of the Goddess of Night on the Lost Island that is circulating outside was not leaked by me."

Eros blinked his eyes, and in just a moment, he understood what was going on.

So, he coughed lightly and said, "Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have come this time."

Hearing that the man in front of her believed in her, the big stone hanging in Natalia's heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing Natalia's tense expression eased, Eros snorted:

"You dare to doubt my trust in you, you deserve to be punished!"

Hearing the man's words in front of her, Natalia's face flushed, and she said with a little shyness:

"I have to be promoted later, and... and Ayesha is still outside..."

Eros lowered his head and bit Natalia's fair face, and said vaguely:

"That's why it's called a punishment! Otherwise, it would be a reward."

"I told you to misunderstand me. I trust you so much, but you still misunderstood me and thought I would suspect that you leaked the news."

Natalia's face flashed with shame. Seeing Natalia like this, Eros knew that the time was almost right.

So, Eros reached out his hand and lifted Natalia's pretty chin, chuckled and said:

"Accept the punishment obediently."

"But I have to be promoted later, and the ritual formation has been carved on the ground. If I mess it up... I..."

Natalia, with a blushing face, made her last struggle.

Eros looked around the basement and saw that the ritual formation had indeed been carved on the ground.

Feeling that the man in front of her had stopped moving, Natalia breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when she thought she should be able to escape this time, the man in front of her suddenly lowered his head and chuckled in her ear:

"There shouldn't be a ritual formation carved at the entrance to the basement, right?"

Natalia's beautiful eyes widened. The entrance to the basement? Ayesha was still outside, separated by a door, this... this...
