”How may I be of service to the Soldier Queen?” a female voice answered from the other side of the grimoire call made by Colleen, causing her to frown and scold, ”Girl, first learn how to respectfully address your mother.”

”Mother, I was just kidding,” the female voice was none other than Colleenʼs daughter and Annaʼs mother.

”With a mother like you, Anna is not to be blamed for her actions,” Colleen did let her daughter off the hook so easily.

”How am I to be blamed for her actions? You, father, and big brother raised her once she stopped breastfeeding. The first word out of her mouth was grandma. If anyone is to be blamed for her actions then itʼs you guys, not me. I was mostly absent for her childhood,” Annaʼs mother argued.

”How can you say that proudly?” Colleen was dissatisfied that her daughter felt no guilt about missing out on most of her daughterʼs childhood.

”I can say that proudly because I have the best family to depend upon,” Annaʼs mother said acting coy with her mother knowing Colleen would not shut up about it unless she said something cringy to feed her ego. As Colleenʼs daughter Annaʼs mother knew her better than Colleen herself.

”Flattering will not get you out of trouble this time young lady,” Colleen thundered but her eyes told a different story. The flattery worked, Annaʼs mother was right about her. However, Colleen continued to say, ”Girl, how can you help her steal the important parts of the dungeon relocation apparatus? Do you know how it will affect our familyʼs reputation if the word gets out?”

”Mother, Anna said she had a plan so as her mother I supported her,” Annaʼs mother responded. According to her a good mother would always have faith in her daughter and have her back, even if she was the dumb daughter.

Listening to her daughterʼs words blacklines formed on Colleenʼs forehead, knowing that her daughter was lying to her and hiding something from her. Nonetheless, Colleen choose to overlook it and said, ”Your aunt is very mad at you, for your safety and to keep our dignity donʼt return to the southern capital until she leaves for the way beyond again.”

”Donʼt worry Mom, recently I have made some progress in my strength and am itching to test the power of the top ten strongest in the world,” Annaʼs mother said confidently.

”Congrats on your progress. But donʼt underestimate your aunt. You know her better than me, she will not hesitate to whoop your ass in public if she catches you,” Colleen warned her daughter not to underestimate their aunt.

”I will keep that in mind. Anyhow, enough about me, tell me how is my son-in-law? I heard you kidnapped him and brought him to the southern capital and are holding him in the guest palace,” Annaʼs mother seemed to have already decided that the boy who discovered the sliver milk powder was her son-in-law.

”He is capable, not the like the men you see Anna usually hang out with. However, I think that boy has fallen for me,” Colleen said in shame. She was embarrassed that her granddaughterʼs lover her life was entranced by her beauty.

”Pftttt haha, haha,” hearing her motherʼs words Annaʼs mother burst out in loud laughter.

”Girl, this is no joke. This is a serious issue. Whenever he is in my presence I can hear his vulgar thoughts about me and let me tell you they are not pleasant,” Colleen was angry that her daughter would laugh at such a serious matter.

”Haha, haha,” Annaʼs mother continued to laugh louder hearing Colleenʼs explanation.

”Will you stop laughing? Whatʼs wrong with you, mother and daughter pair? Anna did not care when the boy flirted with me with her right next to him and you are laughing when I tell you your daughterʼs husband has vulgar thoughts about me,” Colleen complained. She did not understand what was so funny about this situation.

”Mother, relax, it is not like what you think. I think the boy is thinking vulgar thoughts about you to stop you from listening to his original thoughts. He is smart if not anything,” it was not quite clear if Annaʼs mother was complimenting the boy or complaining about him. However, her words brought Colleen a sudden sense of clarity about the boy and his intense steamy vulgar thoughts about her. Yet, still, she asked her daughter in doubt, ”Are you sure that is all to it and there is nothing more to it?”

”I donʼt know, Mother. You can never be sure about things like this. After all, you are a beautiful woman and he is an impressionable teenager,” Annaʼs motherʼs words could not be more misleading. Hearing them Colleenʼs brows tied in a knot as she contemplated if her granddaughterʼs love interest was interested in her or not. If yes, did she somehow lead him on?

”Mother, I am kidding. I am sure the boy was just trying to mask his true thoughts. Though it is worth noting that he knowingly used such a tactic to keep you from reading his true thoughts. He was either really interested in you or hiding an even bigger secret. It seems I will have to pay a personal visit to my mysterious son-in-law,” Annaʼs mother was intrigued wondering what secret could be more important than his life for the boy to go that far to cover it.

”Speaking of your son-in-law, I think you would like to know that he is in contact with Jill Norley,” Colleen reported.

”How did that happen? How did that manʼs daughter get in contact with the boy?” Annaʼs mother finally became serious in her conversation with her mother.

Soon Colleen went on to report everything she knew about the boyʼs relationship with Jill to her daughter. Along with the various speculation she, Ann, and Lorenzo came up with.
