Chapter 516: Mother’s Love-I
The golden eyes the man who was called Gabriel was bright. She didn't know whether or not it was the sa Gabriel whom she knew, because the current Gabriel had a different form than how he appeared to her before.
Elise noticed that it appears not everyone of demons and angels have the sa face, she was sure that sowhere they had adopted a face of a human to look like one unlike Ian as he was originally a human. Which an Gabriel could be the sa archangel whom she knew of but she wasn't certain. A person could use other's na without permission.
But she had to comnt about the naming sense of Archangels. If they were living in humans' world, they could have assu a new na yet they maintain the sa na, such as Gabriel did during the loop town.
Ian stood far away from his father and Gabriel, only manage to hear bites of their words. Elise who was curious walked away from Ian and went to stand beside Gabriel, perhaps because she hadn't entered the past but Ian's mories, she can barely heard any words from them. Or maybe perhaps it was because of Gabriel's power because earlier she could hear the maid words when she was sure Ian didn't hear as they were afar from him.
Ian then left as if the guest didn't entertain him, he went to the tower which was much taller than Elise had thought. Not only was it tall, the place was barren. When Ian arrived at the top of the tower where there was the single door, he didn't imdiately entered. His lips that were resting pulled a wide and boyish smile of a cheerful teenager.
He turned the knob, his voice bright like morning sun, "Mother, I am here!"
Lady Lucy, thought Elise. She had always wanted to et the woman and looked forward to see her. The woman was as beautiful as Elise imagined maybe even more beautiful. She had a long black colored hair that danced beside her, her eyes were similar to Ian, black in color.
Upon seeing Ian, her full lips pulled a bright smile. Elise had expected the room to be as barren and forlorn as the entire structure but was too surprised by what she saw. There was only a single small bed and a desk. One treasure box was left opened where there was dresses but most of Lady Lucy's dress was as simple as the one she currently wore which was plain in white color. But her beauty shines through and better than Lady Sarah who had worn too many jewelry that it was difficult to take the sight at once.
A shelf of book was stacked on the opposite corner of the bed.
Lady Lucy pushed herself from the chair, walking toward Ian and her hands settled on both side of his cheeks. Being taller than his mother, Ian bend his upper body for her to touch and feel. "You have grown again, I'm happy to see you."
"I as well. I look forward to eting you but that fucker..." Ian t his mother's eyes and pulled an innocent look, "Most people call him that, mother. I didn't an to na him that but well, the word fucker compared to his na sounds much better, I can't help myself using it. Let's not speak about that wet blanket; I had a lot of things to do which why I haven't been allowed to co here."
Lady Lucy narrowed her eyes as if thinking what to say, but she shook her head. She wanted to enjoy this ti with her son, so she pushed aside the scolding. "Co on in. I will prepare you so tea. How was your days this past weeks?" Not being able to see Ian, Lady Lucy was excited when she questioned about his day.
The littlest actions had his mother happy and it broke Ian's heart to know that she had given up so much that she had made peace of not wishing for the better things and appreciating such little actions around her.
"I saw a lot of things during my trip, mother. A beautiful scenery up on the hill which I wish to bring you there next ti," Ian said with wide smile as if they would be able to go out together in the future even though deep down they knows that it would be difficult especially when his mother was locked in the tower. "Sotis, I wish for a large wings that would help fly on the hill there was a steep cliff but the look below the cliff is beyond wonderful, maybe if I had wings I would have jumped down and soared through the air."
Lady Lucy stared at Ian with a slight taken aback look. Knowing her brother had acquired all the angelic and demonic nature of their parents, never did Lucy expected that her son would imagine to have wings which he would have had if she had also acquired the nature of their parents. However, for good and bad it is, Lucifer had taken all the qualities of becoming an Angel and demon from her which why Ian didn't acquire the nature either.
Perhaps it was his calling, thought Lady Lucy.
"And mother I have this," Ian said, pulling out, Elise didn't expect to see the cat either as Ian had pulled the cat when she was looking at Gabriel earlier.
"A cat!" Her mother's expression brightened upon seeing the adorable little creature with the deep inky coat. "How did you get this?"
"I saved it and it's seem to get close to ," answered Ian with a smile. His smile was free from any cruelty or cockiness, just a boy who wished to see his mother. "I decided that since he took a liking to , he has the responsibility to be close to you as well as you are my mother. I know that you like cats."
"Indeed, I love them," Lady Lucy carried the cat effortlessly and sothing about her seed to be also felt by the cat, making it felt relaxed on her arms. "Do you know, Ian that animals know much more about a person's true nature than humans ever did? If they took a great liking to you, it would ans deep down you are a good person."
"Like ," grinned Ian. "Aren't I your pride, mother?"
Lady Lucy couldn't help but smile wider. She took a step forward to stand beside Ian and wrapped her head on the side of his head, bringing his head to hers, "You are not only my pride, Ian. You are my treasure and my soul. No matter what others says to you, I know more than anyone how remarkable you are."
A little surprise appeared on Ian's face, causing his eyes to widen as he could feel the overwhelming emotion on Lady Lucy's words. "You are my treasure too. One day you should leave this tower and we should live together. I would prefer without that whom people always called as the fucker."
Lady Lucy can't help but chuckle. She sat on the table while Ian made his own room, sitting on the floor beside his mother while reading the book that she had. "Mother, I have a question." His mother who had been brushing his hair, looked at him with a questioning gaze. "Do you know anyone whose na Gabriel?"
Lady Lucy looked at Ian in question. She held his gaze for a while before answering, "I don't think I know him. What's wrong?"
"I heard that person asking for you to father and he gave the man nad Gabriel empt excuses why you cannot be seen. If you had known him, I would have helped you to et him," even though both Elise and Lady Lucy knew it would be difficult to do so.
Night appeared where Ian had to get back and hatefully separate from his dearest mother. As they only have brief ti together, Ian would always put a smile which was sincere from the bottom of his heart when he was with Lady Lucy and did whatever he could to make his mother happy during the short ti. To leave had his heart heavy because his mother had been inside the tower for decades.
Elise saw Ian fall asleep in his room while she left to look at Lady Lucy in the tower. Elise felt like a ghost who road alone in the tower especially with how her dress was in a simple white color containing many thin layers. She climbed up the tower, standing at the door and thought to pass through when she heard a manly voice.
"I am responsible for this as well, Lady Lucy. You shall ask for help every ti you would ever need."
