“I heard that little Ruru is so busy at her lab work that she forget about meals and bed time”
“…”
Mina, that snitcher!
What I research was important!… that was what I want to say but looking at my mother beautiful face that has a gentle smile, I dare not say that out loud.
I wilted.
I kept my silent and look down at the tea cup.
The tea cup suddenly becomes very interesting.
I am in my mother office because I want to request something again.
The scribbling noise of the paper man who was signing paperwork and the thumping noise of the paper man stamping an important paper rang a bit louder in the silence.
“Meir, children job is to take good care of their body. Maintaining a balance diet and be healthy”
She start.
“I don’t force you to socialize and unhealthily let you coop inside the duke manor. I never let you do things against your will. I respect your choice even though you are a child, I know that I am not a qualified mother as I was not able to spend much time with you as a mother and child should, playing together… Sometimes, I have to put the bonding time of once every month on hold because of business. I make up for it by giving you whatever you want as much as I can although that is an unhealthy way of raising a child. But my child is sensible, not spoiled rotten… I am thankful for that”
The guilt-trip.
A sigh rang out…
“Little Ruru, can you take care of your body health? Maintaining a healthy diet and sleep? Mother don’t request much, only that”
She changes the topic smartly after sighing ruefully, getting to the main point. The topic she clearly aims for.
My mother is very scheming…
She is not a duchess for nothing.
“I will…”
I replied, not looking up.
Even though I know that mother guilt trip me, even though I know her scheme, I still fall for it. Mother power!
TAT
*shedding silent bitter tears*
I cannot beat the power of mother guilt-trip.
Mothers are powerful!
-clap
The sound of a clap, mother was clapping her hand. Finally raising the topic I came here for
“So, does little Ruru has anything she want? Mother will try her best to fulfill it”
She said, clasping her hand.
I sigh internally.
I finally made my request.
Sometimes, interacting with mother is laborious.
Mentally exhausting.
**
I am in a barren land.
Knights are stationed near me.
Mother allowed me to venture out but my personal safety is the first priority.
I let the servants setting up a target.
I took out my gun.
Enhanced version gun!
