Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2407: A New Weakness?

As I heard them having a family discussion over something, I decided to interrupt so they wouldnʼt fight for something so meaningless. The very reason my daughter was upset was me, so I didnʼt want her to worsen her relationship with her family because of me.

Therefore, as they discussed and then she apologized, I decided to step in and also help Triton regain his wing, reinforcing and strengthening his bloodline.

FLAAASH!

”Ohh?”

And then little Triton gasped as he grew a second wing. The boy was shocked, looking at his new wing, identical to the previous one. His big eye couldnʼt help but glance and glance some more, his new wing even sparkled.

”Wooaah! Whatʼs this? I got a second wing?!”

The moment Triton saw his wings, he started flapping hem and flew away from his fatherʼs arms, moving around the air.

”Wooaaah! I can fly! I can fly mama!”

He instantly began flying adorably, her father and motherʼs eyes widened in utter disbelief that their son suddenly got a new wing out of nowhere.

”I-I canʼt believe it... how?!” my daughter wondered.

”Triton... got the second wing?!” his father asked.

As Amphitrite and her husband wondered what was happening, I stepped inside the room with Hydros. I could have left this without telling them and let them assume this happened just because.

But I wanted to make them know I did this even if they hated me...

”I gave him a little help.”

My daughter glared at me with surprise, almost jumping off the floor as she saw me appear from her motherʼs room. I guess it was quite shocking I was still there. She probably didnʼt even know I was still here.

”W-What?! You did this?” she asked. ”How did you...?”

”The wings you and your son have are part of my bloodline,” I explained. ”As, well, you can see, I am a fairy after all. So I simply let him have the bloodline completely.”

”I... have to apologize for this, my daughter,” said Hydros. ”I was the one that decided for you to never met Kireina... I was dumb, and perhaps afraid, I didnʼt want to bother her. My wish ended making the bloodline you inherited from her grow weaker too.”

”W-What?” muttered Amphitrite. ”So this is... you caused this mother?”

”Iʼm so sorry...” Hydros cried. ”I had a talk with Kireina just now, and she said that she would have never done such a thing, this is all my fault, please donʼt get mad at her, who had no idea, but at me.”

”I-I... canʼt get mad at you mom! Youʼve never done anything wrong to me and you raised me...” sighed Amphitrite. ”Hahh... Ugh, is this real? Is this really happening to me? So much to process.”

”Iʼm sorry,” I apologized. ”And I donʼt want Hydros to take the blame, it was also my own fault... Iʼm very sorry. And I think itʼs fine you never love me as your mother, or if you donʼt want to accept me either... But I want to tell you that I love you the moment I saw you. Youʼre my treasure, my precious daughter, and Iʼll always love you and care for you even if you hate me for the rest of your life...”

I smiled at her with all my sincerity and honesty, she seemed slightly moved.

”Ah...” she muttered. ”Ok... Itʼs not like Iʼll hate you for the rest of my life or something... Hahh... But if youʼre leaving again then... itʼll be pointless.” She shrugged.

”Well, about that...” I looked at Hydros.

”We talked with your mother,” said Hydros with a smile. ”And well, the flame of our love is still strong, so weʼre getting back... Look, she even gave me a ring! A-And she said sheʼll stay much more. She canʼt stay forever but... she can stay many days in a row every now and then.”

”E-Eh?!” my daughter gasped. ”Wait, youʼre going back together already?! Mom, how can you have so little dignity...” she facepalmed.

”B-But I love her...” Hydros sighed, playing with her hair a bit shyly. ”Is it wrong?”

”Of course itʼs wrong she left you right?” wondered my daughter.

”Well, not really, I left... first,” Hydros sighed. ”Anyways, it was a one night thing... and well, after years, it seems that weʼre rekindled the flame of passion...” she held my hand tightly. ”I hope itʼs okay?”

”Itʼs fine if you want to hate me or dislike me,” I said. ”But Iʼm also doing this for your mother... Iʼll love her and give her the attention she wants. I want to make her happy.”

”Eugh, this is getting a bit cringe already, ok do whatever you want! Youʼre grown adults, why do you have to tell me these things!” my daughter was blushing in embarrassment.

”Hahaha, sorry, sorry!” giggled Hydros, scratching her head in embarrassment.

”My bad, I just believed it was fine to communicate to you our relationship, my daughter...” I said.

”Whatever!” she said. ”A-And donʼt get too comfortable either... This is literally the first day I ever see you, so please keep your distance.”

”Ok...” I nodded, sighing. ”Iʼll do.”

Over time, Iʼll slowly melt her icy heart and win her trust again.

”Grandma! I got two grandmas now?”

Little Triton, however, wasnʼt like his mother.

He was very young so he canʼt say I havenʼt been present his entire life with the same tone as

his mom.

”Yes, you have two now, baby,” said Hydros, kissing Tritonʼs forehead as she held him in her big arms. ”Want your other grandma to hold you? Sheʼs grandma Kireina!”

”Grandma... Kireina!” he said cutely.

”Oh my gosh! Arenʼt you the cutest? My baby boy!” I said, as he flew to my arms and he

hugged me.

”Did grandma helped me get my wing back?” he wondered.

”Yes! Do you like it?”

”I do! Thank you grandma! Youʼre pretty!”

Then he kissed my cheek cutely.

I literally melted; my grandson was simply too adorable.

”Really? Iʼm glad you find your grandmother pretty, hehe!” I giggled, patting his head. ”Oh! Want some candies? I got many, here.”

I took from my inventory a wooden table and placed several pastries, candies, and desserts.

”Ooohh!” Triton was shocked, looking at the sweets.

”T-Thatʼs so much!” even my daughter was shocked.

Did the two had sweet tooths?

Heh, perhaps this is a nice weakness to exploit.
