Chapter 7 He Broke The Angels Leg!
"Mother I'm back!" Walking into the villa Arius headed towards his mother's bedroom followed by Eva who silently walked behind him with a hint of blush showing on her face.
Walking behind Arius a safe sensation ran through her heart that could not be explained. Just staring at his back made her face heat up. What is this feeling? Eva's whole head was in chaos trying to figure out what was wrong with her body. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
After walking down a giant hallway Arius stopped before a golden door and knocked three times announcing his presence to his mother.
Knock, Knock, Knock.
"Oh... Arius my baby boy please come in!" A sweet motherly voice resonated behind the golden door welcoming Arius in.
Screech.
Opening the door Arius saw his mother holding a book while she laid in bed Showing a giant smile she gestured for the boy to come to her side.
Understanding his mother's gesture he walked over to her side obediently. Ever since he came to this world his mother and little sister were the only ones who looked after him, fed him, cleaned him, talked with him, etc. Unlike his bastard dad and an older brother who has repeatedly and openly spoken down on him thinking he didn't like fighting but that was the complete opposite. On earth, he loved boxing, fencing, judo, karate, taekwondo, and wrestling so much that he mastered all of them for fun.
"My baby boy I'm so glad you're ok I was worried sick..." Luna touched Arius's left cheek showing an anxious smile.
"Mother, as you can see I came back in one piece!" Lifting up his chest he proudly spoke those confident words causing his mother to chuckle.
"Ara Ara Aren't you growing into a big boy, momma is so proud of you but... who is that lovely girl hiding behind the door?" Luna pointed towards the long ear poking out of the door in plain view for everyone to see.
"Eva, why are you hiding?" Arius asked with a confused expression plastered on his cute face genuinely wondering why she was hiding.
Eva's whole body flinched at the voice of Arius. Slowly peeking her head around the door she walked to the side of Arius and bowed her head towards Luna. "It's n-nice to me-meet you mam my name is Ev-Eva Draper I am a pure high elf!"
Luna's face turned pale with sadness covering her eyes as she viewed the horrific whip marks on her beautiful doll face. "What happened to you, are you ok!" She hurriedly spoke.
"I'm ok please ignore these terrifying scars...I know I look like a monster." Eva's face looked towards the ground desperately trying to hold back tears from overflowing.
"Eva listen to me...you are a beautiful girl no matter the whip marks so please don't call yourself a monster it hurts me to hear that." Arius held both of her cheeks forcing her face to look directly into his red eyes which glowed. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
"Arius..." Eva's whole body shook.
Watching this scene play out warmed Luna's heart putting her on cloud 9. She did feel bad though at no point did she mean to come off as a mean old hag.
"Eva, I'm sorry for reacting like that I should have been more respectful." Luna bowed her head slightly.
"Mam please don't bow your head to me!" Eva quickly lifted her head up.
Lifting her head up she gazed at Arius "Son please explain to me what happened while you stayed out overnight.
Nod,
Nodding his head Arius began to explain what happened "While I was heading to an inn to get some rest I noticed Eva on the side of the road who was crying. Seeing a young girl like herself in a state of sadness I had to help. He decided it was best his mother didn't know the true story of how he met Eva.
Eva stood there with an emotionless face remembering the events that played out a couple of hours ago.
"I see, Eva do you know where you're parents are?" Luna asked.
"My father is located in the village I come from. My mother on the other hand went missing a couple of days ago..." Eva spoke the last sentence silently like a mouse.
"You poor, poor girl you must have suffered please get some rest in Arius's room. It's down the hallway to the right it's the door next to the window." Luna smiled
Nod,
Nodding her head she smiled gratefully. "thank you, Mam." With those words, she departed towards Arius's room with a small smile appearing on her face.
Arius stood there silently gazing at the door that Eva just exited through. So I don't have a say in this? Whatever she looked exhausted on the way here it should be fine. Arius thought to himself.
"Arius... I have important news for you." Luna called over to Arius grabbing his full attention. Seeing she had his full attention she began to speak.
"Last night Lyria and Aera got into a fight causing Lyria to have her leg snapped breaking its bones..." Luna's eyes showed a hint of anger.
"What happened?" Arius looked at his mother with a disbelieving look. To stay in a calm and peaceful state making sure he wouldn't kill his older brother Aera he pinched his right arm drawing a little blood. That fucking ass of a brother how can you hurt such an angel! Arius spoke to himself in rage.
"During dinner Lyria asked if you were coming home tonight. Aera scoffed at her question and told her you would probably die as you have no experience in combat or didn't know how to fight. Lyria stood up from the table and slapped him across the face with her little white hands with tears streaming down her face. Aera snapped and broke her leg with earth magic..." Luna looked downwards in shame regretting not being able to stop it.
"Mother please tell Aera, I would like to talk with him privately..."
