Monster Integration

I returned back to Manor at midnight and slept right after, the huge battle and mingle after that had thoroughly tired me like never before.

I had slept through the night and the better part of the morning before I finally woke up. It was around 10:00 AM when I woke up, and it took me forty-five minutes to freshen up and shower before I walked out of my room.

”You woke quite late, ” Mon said as she served me the breakfast which my father had made some times ago. ”The party night was quite tiring, ” I replied as I ate. 

”It usually is, social events are more tiring than the battles. ” Mom said with a laugh as she took a seat in front of me, as she sat, a smile on her face faded and her mood became somber.

”You must be wondering about your mother ’s identity, right? After yesterday ’s meeting? ” Mom asked that I just nodded. ”It is time to tell you some things; you deserve to know about them. ” Mom said as she gently ruffled my hair.

”As you guessed, my real name Annabell Michealson and I was born in the powerful House Michaelson, which, one of the powerful families that control the Mistson. ” She said as she took a gentle sip of the tea.

”You could say I am very talented, and I also worked hard that when I was twenty years old, I had been named as one successor of Miston, at twenty-five Ive become Heir Presumptive of House Michealson. ”

”At the age of twenty-eight, I had finally broken through the Tyrant and defeated all the successors who were higher stages than me and became the Successor Presumptive of Mistson, ” she said and let out a mirthless laugh at her past glories.

I am quite shocked when I heard it; spending days with professor and Elina, I ’ve come to know how hard it is to level up on the stages above the Knight. As for reaching the Tyrant stage, it is extremely difficult, so difficult that only a select few in the whole world were able to reach there.

”Also, that time, my family had engaged me to a scion of another powerful House without my knowledge when I was on a very important mission. ” She said slowly, and emotions of both happiness and grief appeared on the face of my mother.

”It was a year-long mission to guard an Important post against the Grimm Monster who attacked that post by millions in number every month. ” ”It was a very challenging assignment, but I liked it, and I started to love it when I met a wonderful woman, ” she said when she said the last sentence, a beautiful smile couldn ’t help but appear on her face.

”She was a breath of fresh air and completely different from any other person I ’ve met before. I fell in love with her within a month and proposed to her three months and we married six months later, ” she said with a smile.

I am shocked to hear about my mother ’s marriage; I had not known my mother was married before; it is the first time I ’ve heard about it.

”Everyday with her was like a dream, even if we have to fight intense battles against the Grimm Monsters every day, we were happy, but such happiness rarely lasts, ” she said with her mood becoming somber and clear grief could be seen on her face.

”At the Eleventh month of my mission, the Grimm Monsters sent a huge force with the lead of Eleven Tyrants, of eleven Tyrants Six were early Stage, four were Mid Stage and the leader was Peak Tyrant. ”

”It is an impressive force sufficient to crush an entire Tyrant Grade Organisation; it was a nightmare for us, there were only four Tyrants among us, and with only one being Mid Stage. ” Mother said in a shaking voice as if she had relieved her worst nightmare.

”You don ’t have to tell me anything if it is too painful. ” I said as I pressed her hands gently, ”No, you need to know this, it will be a helpful lesson to you. ” she said while putting a small smile on her face.

”Seeing such force, we did not even think about fighting, and I ordered the activation of wards and requested reinforcements. ” 

”By my status of Successor Presumptive, I would have gotten reinforcements within an hour through teleportation formations that were present inside the post and those around the post. ” She said with a grief-filled voice.

”But reinforcements were in the hands of the Madden family, the same Madden Family whose scion my family fixed my engagement without me knowing. ” ”So, when the news of my marriage reached them, they felt like they had lost an honor. ”

”So, when I requested the reinforcements, they intentionally delayed it for three hours, ” ”and when they finally came, they found everyone was butchered in a worst possible way, with only one person being alive of the force of Million, ” she said with extreme grief.

I could guess what had happened next, thinking that the tears couldn ’t help but well up in my eyes.

”That person was me; I was the only person alive. Lea had sacrificed her life to save me by using a very powerful defensive amulet she had gotten in some ruin. If she had used that amulet on herself, them, it would have been her alive, not me. ” she said.

When she finished, tears were falling from her eyes with overwhelming grief shadowing on her face.

”In that battle, I had also lost all my powers due to a powerful curse and fell into a coma for three months. ” ”When I woke and remembered what had happened, I had broken away all the relationsh.i.p.s with the Mistson and Michealson Family and came to this continent to spend my remaining years, ” she said.

She wiped her tears and looked me at me with a smile, ”Don ’t be sad; I am extremely lucky. I had experienced love again and have wonderful children like you and Lea Rose. ” she said with a smile as she gently ruffled my hair with a smile.

”There is something else I want to tell you, Micheal. ” Mom said with a very guilty expression on her face. ”The powerful curse that Grimm Monster afflicted on me and made me lose all my powers has seeped inside you. ”

”Though its quantity is not huge as it was sealed inside me, it is still there, and it will put a big hamper on your progress after the knight. ” she said with guilt, ”Don ’t worry, the little bit of curse will not be a problem for me, ” I said, pressing her hands gently.

”You are quite lucky to have joined the Riverfield Academy, from what I ’ve heard The Current headmistress of Riverfield Academy is the elder sister of Jospehine. ” ”The headmistress of Riverfield Academy has special Inheritance and Art that is one is one best in dealing with curses. ” 

”She will be able to heal that curse or at least seal it with her powers. ” she said with smile. ”Don ’t worry, mom, I will be fine, ” I said, seeing guilt all over her face. 

”The Central Continent is full of danger, having strength is not enough; you have to be also aware of the complex political webs that surround everything. ” she reminded me, to which I nodded.

We talked for quite a while before mom left the kitchen with a tired face; the conversation has been very emotionally draining for her.
