Cheat Awakening

What kind of conflict is this? Even an enemy wouldn't torture someone whom they know to this point, no matter how deep the hatred was. Just what the hell did Father do that Mother beat him half-dead...? Let's not talk about it, but the real problem is, what should I do now? Should I side with Mother and let Father suffer and pour salt on injuries, or go against Mother and help Father?

Caught in a dilemma, Aniue didn't know what to do. He strained his mind to process the situation, and a few seconds later, he finally made a decision.

After all, this is not such a hard question, even an idiot knows whose side he should take when the opposition party is not easy to mess with, and Aniue, although loves his father as well, but was clearly no way near as his mother and there was also a hint fear toward his mother bury in his heart, which quickly help him to see the reality.

"Mother! Can you please tell me what's going on here? Why did you beat Father like a dead dog? Please don't misunderstand me, I am not taking his side. You know I will always be on your side no matter what, but I have to make up a good story for the outside world.

Otherwise, it would be a pain in the ass if those bastards start spreading false rumours about us again," Aniue, like an honest, obedient mama's boy, stood beside Garnet and asked calmly. Seeing his face now, people who didn't know about him would think that the person Garnet beat wasn't his biological father, but rather a stranger.

Garnet, hearing Aniue's words, let out a harsh laugh. "Hahaha, just as expected of you. It seems I didn't waste my 20 years on you for nothing." She pulled him into a bear hug, messing with his hair playfully before continuing. "While I appreciate that my son stands by me, this is a personal matter between your Father and me. As for the rumours, I leave them to you.

I trust you can handle that mess perfectly. By the way, do me a small favor. Let your father rest in bed for a few weeks. He's been overworked lately. I know you handle most of the kingdom's affairs in his place while he is playing around in the name of work, so taking over the kingdom's responsibility temporarily shouldn't be a problem for you, right? It's a good practice opportunity for you.

After all, you'll take the throne one day, so it is only better for you if you learn everything while everyone is around to help you...

"By the way, you can call Lewis for help if the workload becomes too much. Anyway, that little idiot hadn't come back home for an entire month, it's better if he takes a small vacation for his never-ending clan work and spends some time with his family," Garnet suggested and gave Aniue a playful wink.

Aniue, who was rubbing his forehead with a headache, thought that now he had to shift his entire bedroom into his office to cope with work. His eyes instantly start shining in excitement upon hearing Garnet's suggestion.

If he had to deal with the entire kingdom's matters alone, it would surely be a very difficult task for him, and there is a risk of other nobles and ministers taking advantage of this opportunity to exploit the situation. But with the addition of Lewis, who was running the most successful clan in the entire kingdom, his workload could directly be reduced by half. As for what if Lewis didn't agree?

Hehehe, with his Mother's permission and a living example of making her angry, Aniue didn't believe that his little brother would have the courage to refuse.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Alright, Mother. I'll handle everything. Please take care of yourself, and if you need something don't hesitate to call me," Aniue said with a smile before leaving the room.

"With this, now no one can come between Myne and me," Garnet said happily with a beautiful smile, which clearly didn't match her words and deeds, as she gazed out of the window, but soon her smile morphed into a frown as she realised something.

"Shit! Maybe I shouldn't have asked him to come the day after tomorrow..."

...

Sigh, what a mess. I was so close to entering Garnet, but unfortunately, now I have to wait two entire days... F*ck you, father-in-law. One day, I will surely beat the hell out of you and will pay you back tenfold," Myne muttered as he walked out of the portal.

He first glanced around and, after confirming that he was in a random location in the forest behind his town which thankfully was completely deserted, he hurriedly started wearing his clothes.

After getting himself ready, Myne returned to Ayri's room. A few minutes of small talk later, he and Sylphy bid farewell to her and returned to their home.

"Now, Myne, could you tell me what kind of trouble you are talking about?" Just as Myne closed the portal, Sylphy couldn't wait any longer and blurted out the question that had been worrying her sick.

Aisha, who had been in the kitchen, emerged upon hearing their voices. "Oh, you two are back," She said playfully with a smile. "I thought you were going to spend more time together." She threw herself casually onto the couch, ready for a good show. Aisha already knew a bit about the situation thanks to the "super inquiry skills" she used during their intimate encounter.

Myne couldn't resist and spit out everything except June and his secret relationship. This annoyed Aisha very much because Myne never mentioned anything about June before, so she had no intention of helping Myne now.

Sigh, "This matter started last night..." After continuous staring from Sylphy's worry-filled puppy eyes, Myne finally gave in and told most of the things, except the level of his friendship with June, that had reached to the bed, of course. But even so, it was still enough for Sylphy to feel a twinge of jealousy.

After all, from a logical standpoint, June had spent the most time with Myne after Maya.

"It's good you went to see Mother-in-Law. Since she said it's not a big deal, at least we can relax about the curse. So, are you going to find your best friend, now?" Sylphy asked with a frown.

"Do I have any other choice? Besides, I can't just abandon my childhood friend when she needs my help the most, right?" Myne forced a smile before snatching the fruit juice from Aisha, who was enjoying the drama. He angrily downed the entire glass in one go before handing it back to her and continuing...

"Okay, I have to go and start looking for her. Who knows where she could be at this moment?" Myne ignored Aisha's irritated expression and the fist she was rubbing on his head in anger and spoke calmly.

"Not I, but we," Sylphy corrected. "Do you really think we'd let you go on any mission alone after what happened last time? How can there be such a good thing in the world? We told you, you wouldn't be running around by yourself anymore. Either we're with you, or you stay home and do what a husband should – take care of his wives." She explained with determination, leaving no room for negotiation.

Without waiting for Myne's response, she hurried off to the bedroom to change her clothes.

"Sigh, what about you? Aren't you coming with me?" Myne, who was lying in Aisha's embrace and receiving a head massage, asked tiredly. But to recharge his energy, before Aisha could reply, he pushed her onto the couch and lay on top of her with his head buried in her soft, large breasts. Since Aisha didn't wear a bra inside the house, Myne instantly felt his tension and tiredness melt away.

"Damn it, you're so heavy! Looks like I need to make some adjustments to your diet. Otherwise, if this goes on like this, one day, I fear I might die under your weight alone," Aisha joked, stroking Myne's head. "And no, I'm not coming with you. You just said you're searching for her whereabouts, and it's already afternoon. Finding someone missing for months won't be so easy.

No need for me to join you and run around like a headless chicken in such hot weather. Besides, someone needs to take care of the house. We can't leave Amy, Waffle, and Ted alone, right?"

"Ohh, by the way, some people came here a few hours ago from the capital. They said they were sent by Sylphy's mother to restart the clan building construction. I already visited Mr. Roku, and he happily agreed to resume the work with his disciples. Now you only need to worry about the money. Leave the rest to me.

I'll look after the clan work," Aisha explained casually.

"What?! Wait a minute, I forgot to discuss this with Mother-in-law! It seems she used her authority to send people back to work... Sigh, I'll talk to her about it tonight. Thank you, honey, for your hard work. I don't know what I would have done without you.

You're truly my lucky charm." Myne, overjoyed to hear that his clan's reconstruction was underway, immediately locked lips with Aisha, giving her a well-deserved, passionate kiss.

"Cough! Okay, you two can express your affection at night as much as you want, but please don't start anywhere. What would Amy think if she saw you being so intimate in the middle of the living room?" Sylphy, who had just descended the stairs in her metal armour and short skirt, spoke with a disdainful look.

However, a hint of envy and jealousy glinted in her eyes, something that surprisingly didn't escape Myne's notice this time.

"Sorry, I just couldn't control myself. You know my habits, dear. It's become my nature to reward someone for their hard work on the spot," Myne apologized with a sheepish smile as he got up from Aisha.

"Alright, Aisha, we're going. Please take care of the house. We'll be back for dinner. See you later." Myne waved goodbye before opening a portal and stepping through with Sylphy.

After getting her well-deserved kiss and waving goodbye to Myne and Sylphy, Aisha, in full spirits and a happy mood, walked toward the bedroom to do some secret recharge. However unbeknownst to everyone, a certain figure had been watching the entire scene from the keyhole of the front door.
