"Waaaahhhh!"

With the end of Yumo’s in-class quiz, Limo’s pitiful cries once again echoed through the hall.

Even this sharp, penetrating sound passed through the walls and barriers, spreading into the nearby forest, causing countless high-level abyssal demons to stick their heads out in confusion. These demons were also curious as to why their little ancestor was crying so frequently today.

Inside the house,

Limo, realizing that she was unable to answer any of her mother’s questions, was immediately heartbroken. After all, according to her mother, all her other siblings could answer these questions, but she couldn’t...

She felt like a fool…

Coming to this realization for the first time, Limo lay sobbing on her little sister’s lap.

Tears, saliva, snot splattered everywhere, soaking the little girl with grey hair. But faced with these sticky fluids that might seem somewhat disgusting to outsiders, Liyu never showed a bit of disgust.

Instead, she helplessly raised her hand to rub the wolf girl’s head, comforting her foolish older sister.

"Sister, don’t cry..."

"I don’t want to! I don’t want to go to the Sadik Empire, I want to stay in the Forest, I want to stay with Mom!"

...

Watching her older sister crying her eyes out, Shuoyue, who was silently watching from the second-floor railing for a while, couldn’t help but sigh.

"Sigh..."

’Sister Limo, no matter how much you cry and fuss, it’s useless.’

’Mommy is usually easy to deal with, a little cooing, or a little tantrum usually does the trick. However, sometimes, Mommy is very stubborn~. When Mommy thinks something is good for us, she becomes very determined.’

’In this situation,’

’No matter how much you cry or fuss Sister, Mommy won’t change her mind...’

’You should know that in Mommy’s eyes, this is also for your own good Sister. Perhaps she’s afraid you’re too naive, and someone will abduct you someday? Also, to enable Sister Limo to live steadily in human society in the future, Mommy probably wants her to learn the common sense of this world, right?’

Hmm,

However,

"Perhaps letting Xiao educate Sister Limo is indeed a good decision."

Although Shuoyue doesn’t expect Xiao to have the ability to turn Limo into an elegant lady, perhaps making her less naive is possible. At that time, maybe they won’t have to worry so much about Limo accidentally exposing all their plans?

So,

"I will pray for you, Xiao."

With a slight smile, Shuoyue cast a supportive glance at Xiao, who had a complex expression on her face.

Meanwhile,

Under Yuan’er’s puzzled gaze, a faint mischievous smile began to appear on Shuoyue’s face.

’Hehe~’

Although she felt sorry for Sister Limo, her absence might be a good thing~

At least,

’For the recent period, there will be one less person to fight with me for Mommy’s embrace~’

Shuoyue revealed a triumphant expression.

However,

This smug expression didn’t seem to last long.

Just as Shuoyue was feeling smug, Yumo slowly rose to her feet,

Looking at Limo, who was crying as if her heart would break and even starting to throw a tantrum, Yumo said helplessly,

"Enough, Limo, stop making a fuss. We’ve already agreed on this, and you can’t go back on your word."

"No! No! I don’t want to leave, I want to stay with Mother!"

"Sigh, My child... You’re only going to Xiao’s place to study for a while, is it necessary to make such a fuss? Oh, right, besides... even if you stay in Winter Forest, you won’t be able to stay with me for a while."

"What?" Limo, looking puzzled, used Liyu’s little skirt to wipe the tears and snot from her face, then tilted her head quizzically to look at Yumo.

Upstairs, Shuoyue,

Hearing these words, her face changed dramatically, and she hurriedly floated down to Yumo’s side,

"Mummy, what do you mean by that? Are you... leaving Winter Forest again?"

"Yes, I have some matters to attend to," Yumo replied, nodding slightly.

Upon hearing this answer, not just Shuoyue, but everyone’s expressions shifted subtly, especially the daughters, whose faces were immediately filled with deep disappointment.

After all,

Now that the Girl of Destiny had finally returned and the Son of Destiny died, they could temporarily relax and enjoy some warm and happy daily life in the forest with their mother. But before they had a chance to fully experience this ordinary life, before they had enough of their mother’s energy and scent, and certainly before they had enough of their mother’s soft body...

Now, their mother was suddenly saying she had to leave the Winter Forest, and they naturally felt a wave of loss.

At the same time, doubt began to grow in their hearts.

’Why would Mom leave?’

After briefly considering this, Kalina’s eyes narrowed slightly,

Thinking of her mother’s recent actions, this obedient daughter had a rough guess.

"Mom, are... are you going to find the Girl of Destiny?" she asked.

"Yes, that’s right. I promised that child that I would go find her. Besides, now that there’s only the Girl of Destiny left in this world, I must focus on nurturing her."

"Yes... that’s true."

Kalina responded to her mother a bit woodenly,

Although her voice was calm, her heart was gradually being overcome by turmoil.

Indeed,

’It was that cursed girl again!’

Thinking of that silver silhouette, a jealous flame began to burn in Kalina’s heart.

In the past,

Whenever Kalina or her mischievous brother had been wandering outside for some time and then returned to the Winter Forest, their mother would take care of them, allowing them to fully experience the warmth of home. For example, when she returned to the Winter Forest after a long absence decades ago, her mother was incredibly excited.

At that time, her mother devoted nearly all her time to her, not only bathing her, making clothes, cooking meals, but also chatting with her, asking about her life experiences in the outside world over the years. Recalling those days and her mother’s attentive care and warm caresses, Kalina couldn’t help but feel a strong wave of happiness.

As her daughter,

The happiest thing for her was to be by her mother’s side...

But now,

She has returned to the Winter Forest after a long time and has even thoughtfully prepared a mansion for her mother according to her tastes.

However,

The care her mother had for her during this time could not compare to before. Her mother gave much of her time to Yuan’er and her other sisters. As the older sister, Kalina could understand and accept this.

But,

Her mother spent a lot of time on the Girl of Destiny… She even spent more time with her than with her own daughter. This was something Kalina could not accept!

After her mother came back, she was almost constantly watching the movements of the Asumos Church and the Girl of Destiny. She even specially prepared suitable magic books for her, and even made armor herself?! Though... before, only they could wear clothes made by their mother...

’That Girl of Destiny too?! What right did she have?!’

And now,

Her mother was actually going to leave the forest to find that chosen one?!

’That Girl of Destiny...’

’She’s a damn vixen!!!’

’Damn, damn, damn, damn vixen ahhhhhhhhh!!!’

Kalina clenched her fists, emotionally losing control and roaring in her world. Sparks faintly burst from her orange-red eyes. At the same time, the red-haired girl’s inner sense of crisis intensified.

...

However,

Being the obedient daughter that she was, being the top student of the Sebastian Acting Class, Kalina’s heart was ablaze with extreme fire, but she quickly regained her composure on the surface. She even pinched her thigh to forcefully suppress the inner rage.

’Just wait, You damned girl... I won’t let you steal Mom from us! Mom belongs to us!’

Kalina vowed in her heart.

After calming down, her face showed a steady and reliable smile as usual;

"By the way, Mom, the Girl of Destiny is now studying at the Luminous Royal Academy in the Red Leaf Empire... The security there is very tight. How do you plan to find her?"

"Ah, that’s a problem."

Yumo tilted her head, displaying a thoughtful and cute expression.

"If all else fails, maybe I’ll sneak in as a student."

"A student? But, Mom, the enrollment season is over now. It might be difficult to enter the school as a student."

"Ah? In that case... what should I do?"

"Let me handle it, Mom. I know how to get you into Luminous Academy."

"Little Na? You know how to?"

"Yes, when I was a mercenary, I made some ’friends’ in Luminous. I’m sure they’d be willing to help. Sending you into the school under another identity shouldn’t be a problem."

Saying this, a slightly shadowy smile appeared on Kalina’s pretty face.

As a child of the Yumo family,

One must not lose the traditional artistry~
