YM778.TV Chapter 129 - Heart Broken
"Do Lady and Lord want breakfast first?" the other maid asked as she opened the door for them.
The two of them did not answer any questions or greetings from the maids. Instead, they were scanning at their house from top to bottom.
The maids looked at them and nodded in unison; they stopped asking questions, and one of them just stood still beside her master, waiting for orders.
While the other maid glanced at the coachman, hinting him to take the horse carriage away.
"It\'s been a long time, huh?" Bastian looked at his house, which they rarely visited, was still in its original state, without any changes.
"Yeah," Leona is now glancing at the courtyard her children used to play with. "Is Desmond home?" Leona suddenly asked the maid beside her who was carrying her things.
Hearing this, the maid smiled. "The young master is currently in the dining room, having breakfast." The fact that her master still cared about her child made her happy.
When Leona heard this, she immediately rushed into the house, ignoring her husband, who was now analyzing every house structure in detail.
The maid who brought Leona\'s goods smiled wryly at the behavior of her master; she waved her hand at the other maid to take care of their male master.
...
Leona, who was feeling very happy, was walking so fast towards the dining room, her heart was beating hard. When she finally reached the front of the dining room, she couldn\'t hold back anymore and immediately pull the door open.
"My boy!" Leona saw Desmond having a spirited discussion inside the dining room with a few maids in the kitchen.
When Leona entered, she saw the expression of her son was surprised. She then hugged her son tightly. "I miss u, my baby."
Desmond, who already knew his mother\'s arrival, only let himself be hugged, but he felt a little annoyed. "Mother ..." Desmond tried to call his mother, but his mother could not hear his voice because she was humming happily.
"Mother." Desmond raised his tone slightly, making Leona lighten her hug.
Leona let go of her hug and looked at her son with a loving gaze, "What\'s wrong, my baby?" she asked in a soft tone, but then she froze.
As a mother, Leona\'s instincts were very sharp; she can detect even the slightest change. If it weren\'t for her now looking seriously at her son, maybe she wouldn\'t notice until tomorrow
"Tell me what happened?" Leona narrowed her eyes and now took another dining chair and sat right in front of her son.
Her son did not physically change, but Leona felt like he was carrying a slightly \'rough\' impression now in the aura that was emitted. She even detected the energy around her son interacting strangely with his body.
Meanwhile, the maids in the dining room were also curious. Those who were with Desmond every day didn\'t even notice this change!
Desmond was a little surprised to see his mother, who was so quick to notice something strange.
But things like this he already expected. "I accidentally drank the blood of the Husk Wolf ..." He folded the collar on his sleeve and revealed some of the scars from the bite that had been manipulated.
Hearing this, Leona was surprised; she glanced at her maids, asking for an answer, but she saw the maid making a clueless expression.
Before Leona opened her mouth to ask for more details, Desmond stopped her and went into detail.
At the same time, Bastian, who had previously finished inspecting his house from the outside, happened to enter from the back door of the kitchen and saw his wife and son looking at each other.
"Hey boy, your father came home and you-" but he stopped his words when he realized that the atmosphere in this room was very different. "Haha, then I\'ll excuse me ..."
"Honey, come here. You have to know our son\'s situation too." Leona, seeing that her husband wanted to run away, called out to him calmly.
Bastian turned around slowly and walked to one of the chairs beside his son. He sat on the chair and saw his son fall silent as if he was taking a breath.
Sigh, what else are you doing now, boy ... thought Bastian as he tried to relax his body.
After seeing all of her family members gathered, Leona then ordered the maids to get drinks.
The maids nodded and took a large bottle containing wine. She pouring the drink into each of the Desmond family cups.
*slurp*
"So, you bought a pet for a toy and accidentally get bitten and drank the pet\'s blood. Is it true? Leona asked while narrowing her eyes at her son. She also tapped her index finger repeatedly on the table.
"Yes," Desmond replied as calmly as possible, causing Leona to frown.
Meanwhile, when Bastian heard this, he was shocked and unconsciously saw the clothes\' folds on Desmond\'s hands.
"Doesn\'t it seem so obvious that this incident is absolutely impossible?" Leona snapped; she slammed the table in front of her. Even though she looked angry, but in her eyes, there was a hint of great worry.
Desmond froze at this. In fact, he has even solid evidence by calling Annie or Laura. But he felt that it would only make matters worse.
Bastian was also silent when he saw his wife; he then glanced at his son and decided to talk privately with his son later. "Listen to mother this time." Bastian\'s tone is tight but also gentle.
They were all silent for the next few minutes before Leona finally opened her mouth, "First murder is now a case again ..." She then raised her head and glanced at her son. I know that you are smart and talented at magic, but this matter involved the kingdom rules. "
This time it was Desmond\'s turn to become confused. What do you mean by kingdom rule? Didn\'t I just drink blood? As he thought this, his mind automatically connected with several memories.

He then narrowed his eyes and saw the words that were right beside his race.
I see, now I\'m half-human. I remember that the demi-humans in this kingdom were treated very harshly and immorally.
Desmond then pulled his gaze and found that his mother was now looking at him with great concern. "Calm down, mother; I have a way to outsmart it." He then glanced at his father and nodded.
Bastian initially did not understand Desmond\'s actions, but when he saw the grave and stern expression of his son, he opened his mouth. "Let trust our son once again, honey; if not, let him bear it alone." Bastian\'s tone was cold, harsh; he wanted to teach his son a sense of responsibility.
He said that he turned his face away to hide his worries from his son after that.
"Hump!" Leona snorted and looked away.
Desmond was rendered speechless at their actions. Even though he had been reincarnated in this world for a long time, the comfort from his new parents had not yet touched his small heart.
It was still difficult for him to accept these two people as his real parents. Maybe because they also often on duty and left him alone.
Only Alice was the first person he was considered as a family member in this world. Remembering about family, his memories of the family in his old world reappeared.
Father, mother, sister, I hope you will be fine without me there ... Sadness rose in his heart as he remembered fond memories of his old family.
It also triggers memories of his death. That thief! It must have come from one of the mafia families.
Come to think of it, it wasn\'t him who was careless, but the fact that the thief lured him to the roof of the building already made this whole thing very strange!
Not to mention why did he just take out his gun by the time they reach the rooftop? Why didn\'t the thief use it right away on the bus?
...
While he was in a daze, one of the maids came over with a mirror he used to communicate with Clementine.
"Young Master, it looks like you received a communication call." The maid placed the mirror on the table, causing his parents\' attention to be on it.
Hmm? Didn\'t I say that our relationship is over? Desmond wanted to channel his energy into the mirror, but he suddenly felt a chilly sensation blocking his energy flow.
"Oh? What is this? Is it possible?" when Leona saw her son\'s expression like a \'heart broken\' made her curious.
She knows how this mirror magic works; even she often uses it for the sake of duty. She instantly blocked her son\'s energy flow and used her energy instead.
"Huh, you finally answered too!" in the reflection of the mirror, it was clearly visible that a red-haired girl with a pretty face was folding her arms which automatically accentuated her medium-sized breasts.
