THE REMAKE OF MY BUSINESS EMPIRE

CHAPTER 3

"What's your name?" She asked after finally calming down her anger.

"Mother, as a gift for our first meeting, I will give you the privilege to name your most handsome son." he boasted.

'The children of my age said that their mother felt thankful when they were born and having the privilege to name them, so I hope mother would like my gift,' he thought inwardly.

Unbeknownst to him, Calypso once again felt sad, knowing that no one was willing to give him a name, 'he must have suffered a lot,' she weakly thought and sighed.

"You're my only son, of course, even if you're not handsome, you will always be the most, hahaha." she teased.

"No way! I haven't met someone who can rival my handsomeness, so I guess I'm the most handsome in this world, right, mom?" He said while looking at the ceiling and snuggling his body to Calypso comfortably.

"hahaha, that's probably, because you came from my womb? Even if you're not handsome, it doesn't change the fact that you are my son but don't be too complacent about something you have because it's a root of mediocrity, and that will stop you from growing. The world is vast, and unexplored places exist everywhere, don't be scared to be average because that's where we all started, understood?" She said while replying to her son's snuggle.

'It's the first time someone taught me how to live on the right path,' he thought emotionally.

"affirmative mother," He said while smiling brightly.

Calypso looked stunned at the boy's glowing smile, her heart melted, and she felt contented about the things happening right now. She might be in a foreign world now, and there are various challenges that she might face, it's her chance to enjoy her life, a life given to her to do things she always wanted to.

'Now I understand the philosophy book I read in my past life. Stoics live in accordance with reality, acknowledging that life can be tough and bad things happen, but finding peace in acceptance. Death is inevitable, and obstacles are opportunities to grow, so we must try to live purposeful and virtuous lives, with honesty, humility, kindness, and devotion to a greater good. I found a source, a source of purpose'

"Sirius" She mumbled, which received a confused look from the child.

Calypso saw this, and now she was sure about it "Your name will be Sirius, Sirius Hale,"

"Wow! that's amazing! I never heard the name Sirius Hale, and it sounds cool!" he excitedly replied

Calypso chuckled when she saw that expression, "It means the brightest star, and that's because from today onwards you are my brightest star!"

Sirius nodded like an old man understanding what her mother was talking about, then a second later, he tilted his head and asked, "eh, what about the Hale? is there any meaning behind it? Like hallelujah?"

"Hale, it means healthy life, and it also comes from your father, King Nicholas Hale, so it can also mean ice or cold. Hail is formed when drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of thunderstorm clouds," she said while contemplating

"King Nicholas Hale? I think I heard that name mother, isn't he the cursed king living in ice castle repenting for his sin of killing, and massacring a town people?" he asked when he remember the song the child in the street was singing.

sigh

"I'll tell you a story, so make sure to listen well. I had a great teacher back then. He taught me about life and guided me on how to proceed further, I read a lot of his books, and in one of his books, there's a saying that we should be free thinkers and don't accept everything we hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in because it's not them we are defining when were judging people it's ourselves."
