Chapter 18

4+ years ago

After Kselia agreed to Siyionme's proposal of working as a maid in their house, she immediately left to start her new duties.

Although she was from nobility, she had always seen many of her maids do their duties plus, she also asked Selia, the headmaid of the castle to teach her a few things.

So, with that little experience, she was sure that she would qualify to be called average.

"What a lively child" Asnemiola commented with a small smile as she looked at Kselia's disappearing back.

"Don't you mean 'useful' child?" Siyionme looked at Asnemiola with a look that seemed to say 'I know all your dark plans woman!"

" Heh?, what are you talking about" Asnemiola denied it. She wanted to do a whistle but, too bad, nothing came out making her look stupid.

Siyionme shook her head seeing her friend's shamelessness and decided not to drag it any further and make her friend uncomfortable.

She then turned and eleagantly walked to one of the so called 'couches' and sat on a 5 seater one. She then turned and looked at Asnemiola and spoke with a serious face:

"Asi, we need to talk"

Asnemiola hearing her friend's words looked at her and saw the seriousness on her face.

"What's the matter Siyi?" She asked as she sat on one of the couches opposite side of Siyionme.

After seeing her friend's serious look, she knew that something serious was up.

Siyionme then opened her mouth and spoke:

"I want us to perform the 'Somother' ritual"

Boom!

Asnemiola's brain froze when she heard Siyionme's words. But, she thought that she had heard wrong, so, she asked once again:

"Sorry Siyi, could you please repeat your words, I think I misheard some words"

Siyionme saw that her friend had obviously heard what she had said but was still in disbelief.

She then opened her mouth and repeated her words:

"I want us to perform the 'Somother' ritual"

Asnemiola was once again shocked at what she had heard. She cleaned her ears and asked Siyionme to repeat her words once again thinking that she was hearing wrong but, contrary to her thoughts, Siyionme kept saying the same thing with great patience.

"I do not know if I heard wrong, but, did you just say, 'the' Somother ritual Siyi?"

Siyionme nodded her head and a small smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Asi, i know it's sudden but, I've made up my mind and want all of us to be happy and this...."

Siyionme could not even finish her words before Asnemiola suddenly spoke interrupting her:

"Siyi, are you crazy?"

Siyionme did not look at all offended with Asnemiola's cold words, she had already expected something like this before she even spoke to her about the matter.

She then smiled sweetly and spoke:

"Asi, I know that it's a big decision but, I've already made up mind. When we arrived on this 'small' planet, you promised to stay with us forever....."

Once again, Asnemiola interrupted her:

"Yes, I promised that but, that's too much even as repayment to me and, not only that, but, Gelbius might murder me if I dare do that"

Siyionme saw that her friend really did not want to, but, she had made an important decision, for the sake of her friend's happiness

And, another 'selfish' reason as well.

"Asi, since you promised to live with me and Twilight, I think it's only fair that I give you this gift and worry not of Gelbius, I will handle him when the time comes. Please accept it"

Siyionme put the little baby in her arms down and walked to Asnemiola.

"please"

She was about kneel but, Asnemiola caught her midway stopping her from lowering herself like that.

"O-ok, I a-accept"

Seeing that she could not talk Siyionme otherwise, Asnemiola had no choice but to accept. She would never have her friend kneel before her like that, otherwise, something will always feel wrong in their friendship to her.

Siyionme was happy that Asnemiola accepted and was about to hug her, but, Asnemiola knew better and took 3-quick steps backwards.

She did not want to be suffocated after all.

They then walked to the little baby and held his small hands, Siyionme on the right and Asnemiola on the left.

"I Siyionme, huma nene hindra migrue Asnemiola, Huiness maco nifan heyoi tices amano ophao isionmeriona Twilight...., gruet amaco nigk lifan iyionm"

Siyionme chanted her words with an ancient language in the Celestial realm with closed eyes.

Asnemiola looked at her friend for a little while seemingly hesitant but, she decided that, she would face the problems later when they arrive.

"I, Asnemiola accept Siyionme's proposal of being Twilight's second mother and...and being t-the s-second w-w-wife of G-Gelbius, I will fulfill my duties both to Twilight as a mother and to G-Gelbius as a w-wife"

After saying that, Siyionme felt something big leaving her and Asnemiola received it. It was a percentage of the heart and the feelings of a mother that had left Siyionme and entered Asnemiola.

After the feelings entered her, Asnemiola felt one connection building up with the little baby who was sleeping on the sofa. It was strange indeed that it was only one connection instead of two, but, she did not care that much since, she knew that the successful connection was with Twilight.

'He must have probably refused it' Asnemiola thought as she thought of a certain all powerful person.

Siyionme looked at Asnemiola and spoke in a low voice:

"Please take care of my baby"

"Huh?, what do you mean Asi, we are gonna take care of him together"

"Yes, that haha" Siyionme realized her blunder and corrected her sentence with an awkward voice

But, were her words just a blunder or a truth meant to be secret?

Somewhere in a place that looked like a tavern, an intimidatingly tall man with blue hair and blue eyes sat with another man with red hair and red eyes.

The blue haired man was looking in a certain direction with squinted eyes as if something was confusing him.

But suddenly, the red haired man spoke with a drunk voice:

"Hey Gelbius, why did you stop?, let's drink till our wives calm, if we do not, we'll be in a *hick* world of falling words"

"Yea, I'll just think about it later" the blue haired man thought and downed another glass of alcohol.
