Sera sighed deeply, "Haaa, Why are you here mother?"
"Oh my, is this how you greet your mother who came to visit her favorite daughter? I am feeling very hurt." Ravenna wiped her invisible tears with her fingers.
Sera's lips twitched, unsure of how to respond.
Before Sera could say anything, Ravenna hugged her daughter tightly. "I am glad that you are doing well."
Initially taken aback, Sera eventually returned the hug with a warm smile. "Me too."
Meanwhile, Vina looked on curiously at the countess.
Tia is stunned at Sera's exchange with the countess. 'Once, I asked my mother why we kiss each other. To which mom explained that, In our clan, kissing is quite common and most of them do it even as a form of greeting. Not just between lovers.
'But it is not like they kiss anyone and everyone.
'A lip to lip kiss is done only between those whom they love and trust.
'And there is one exception to this. Of course, she did not explain about it. Again stating her usual excuse that she would explain everything when we grow up.' Tia sighed inwardly.
Ravenna, who released her embrace from Sera, knelt down and smiled gently at the children.
"So these are my grandchildren," she remarked, softly patting Vina and Tia with warmth in her eyes.
"Are you our grand-mother?" asked Vina, curiously.
"Yes, you can consider me as your grandmother."
'It's surreal to see a girl in her late teens like her calling herself a grandmother,' Tia thought.
"My name is Ravenna Obscuritas. We met when you were little, Vina, so you might have forgotten me. You are Tia. This must be your first time meeting me. Although I saw you when you were a baby, I did not have the leeway to hold you at that time. "
'Ah! Now I remember meeting her when I was little. But I didn't know what was happening at that time as it was too chaotic. Also, I slept most of the time during that time.' realized Tia.
"Huh!"
Ravenna suddenly paused, sensing something as she approached Tia and took a sniff. Her eyes widened, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
"Eleanor is still naïve," she remarked, turning to Sera with a hint of amusement. "Isn't she?"
Sera just smiled wordlessly.
"But her daughter is a sharp one, Even if she is still young," Ravenna remarked.
"Yeah," Sera agreed, chuckling. "In the future, she might grow up to be very scary."
"That damn maid spy, why didn't she inform me about this?" Ravenna squinted her eyes.
"Don't blame her, I asked her to keep quiet," Sera defended the wet nurse.
"Hurmp, but I will still speak to her later," Ravenna insisted.
Sera smiled and gestured towards the seats. "Why don't we sit down and talk?"
Ravenna settled into a chair, lifting Vina and Tia onto her lap as she pondered something.
Everyone took their seats around the wooden table.
"Are you really our grandmother?" Tia's question pulled Ravenna out of her reverie.
"Why? Do you think I am not?" Ravenna smiled as she gently stroked Tia's head.
