As he dropped Albus at his house, Gellert was called immediately to Wales for a meeting of the big six. He teleport his car to Frozenhouse and then teleport himself to Wales, to Enos' house.
There, at the big, round, marble table in the middle of a big, round room, behind a set of white doors with golden clouds encrusted on it, were the other five sorcerers. Enos, the Wizard of Weather, Dimena, the Witch of Love, Almeea, the Witch of Humankind, Fioder, the Wizard of Light, and Valence, the Witch of Wisdom.
Gellert sat on his personalized chair, between Almeea and Fioder. He was the Wizard of Darkness, the opposite of Fioder, but the were alright with each other. The same with Almeea. He was the Wizard of Chaos, and the was the Witch of Peace, but the were getting along.
"Why are we here, again? It's been literally two days since the last meeting," Fioder asked.
"I didn't invoke you all, Valence did," Almeea said, being the Queen of the Sorcerers. "She had some business to solve, she said."
"Yes, I have, and the one I have it with has just arrived," Valence said.
"What's with me? Have you found out something new?" Gellert asked.
"Yes! And it's scandalous!" Valence continued. "I found out you're fucking my son!"
"Again, have you found out something new?" Gellert asked, making Fioder, Enos and Almeea chuckle a little. Dimena tried to keep her giggle, but the ends of her lips curled.
"How dare you touch him?! He's just a boy," Valence jumped from her chair to her feet.
"He's a 26-years-old guy with the power of thinking and taking decisions for himself without his mother telling him what to do at every step," Gellert defended Albus,"so, I don't think it should affect you because he chose this path."
The rest of the sorcerers were starstruck, besides Almeea. She had to be prepared for anything.
"All his life he's learnt how awful you are and now you bewitched him with some kind of dark spell," Valence backfired, "and I demand you to let him think for himself again."
Gellert's fists started hurting from all the pressure he'd squeezed them with because he'd been avoiding to tell her all the details and spit the thoughts he had for Albus, but his was too much. When she considered he put a spell on Albus to love him, making him a desperate monster, who only cared about making her lose her mind, not giving a shit about Albus; that was enough, even more than enough.
"Don't you think that, after 18 years of being kept in a house, Albus feels like he needs to live a normal life?! Don't you think that he started to despise you after you didn't even let him talk to the servants?! Don't you think that Albus wants to experience how life feels, to have someone worship him, in any way, for him to earn his powers you'd stripped him of since he was born?!" Gellert burst and got to his feet, too.
Then, he felt Almeea's warm touch on his forearm. He turned to her only to realize he'd turned halfway to his divine form. He calmed down and sat his fists on the table, supporting himself on them.
"So, for as long as you don't dare speak to him about this and find out his side of the story, his view on the life he'd lived for 18 years, you don't have to right to tell me to leave him alone," Gellert said, looking Valence dead in the eyes.
Everyone looked at Almeea as Gellert finished speaking.
"Valence, my final decision is that you don't have any power to tell your son what to do until you don't listen to his side of the story and understand him. If you wouldn't, your son would be my protected until he makes his decisions on life further on," she said and got up, all of the other sorcerers getting up after her.
"This meeting is dismissed," Enos said and Fioder vanished in nanoseconds.
Almeea left, too, and the two husbands waited for Valence and Gellert.
"This isn't over, Gellert! I'll get my son back even if that's the last thing I do in this realm," Valence said and Gellert disappeared right after that.
He appeared in his bedroom, in the house he had in North Ireland, Rathlin Island, in extreme South. He took off his clothes, put on a new pair of underwear and a satin bathrobe, didn't tie it, and took the crystal glass and bottle of whiskey from the bar and poured the amber liquid to have the glass halfway full. He exited on the balcony and rested his arms on the handrail, staring at the water and trying to settle his thoughts.
How could I keep you safe from her without making you captive?
Gellert's thought was full of hatred towards Valence and full of love towards Albus. He didn't know what to do and even his nymph, Silla, couldn't find a way to help him, with all her abilities from her mother, Dimena's daughter, Ekile, the Witch of Sympathy.
"Yunes!" Gellert shouted, going back inside with the empty glass.
Yunes, a black skinned wizard with blonde hair and golden eyes, was the Wizard of Summer, son of Enos and a forest nymph.
"Yes, Gell?" he asked, appearing with a pair of neon pink shorts and a white tank top.
"Keep an eye on Valence and report to me everything she does towards Albus and if she plots something against me or Albus," Gellert demanded.
"Of course. But I need to change to something more invisible to do that," Yunes said.
"You can become invisible with magic!" Gellert said and refilled his glass with whiskey.
"Oh, yeah! I'll go keep an eye on her. Gotta go!", Yunes said and he vanished.
Don't worry, my dear. Your mother won't separate us even in a thousand years.
