The Story of Hero Among Heroes ~The Founding Chronicles of Arestia Chapter 46

Chapter 46 – Mother’s Talk

[What in the world are you thinking?]

It was in the hall of the royal capital’s Schwarzer Mansion .

At the center was Ares, standing upright . In front of him, smiling quietly, was his mother Sera .
Despite her smiling, her eyes was… . scary .

[How many people do you think you have bothered due to your selfish action? At least you could’ve said something . Or is it a bother to tell anyone about what you are doing… . ?]

[E-esteemed Mother… . I certainly had done wrong . Can this fault of mine still be forgiven…?]

[No can do . ]

[The punishment for this kind of act has been decided from a long time ago, hasn’t it?]

[… . . ]

Right, Sera has always been like this . She’s usually mild mannered, but when something went wrong… . . her quiet fury tend to be very scary .
When Edgar drank too much and showed up in disheveled appearance . When the va.s.sal made a mistake that brought trouble to other people and when Ares did a prank . Sera would order them to stand upright in front of her while she herself sit on a chair and only allowed them to go after she’s finished . Even if it’ll take the whole day… . Everyone knew about this .

[Mother’s Talk]

That was the dreaded name that others had ‘affectionately’ given to refer to this punishment .

And of course, Ares spent the entire day from morning to evening on that very same posture .

[I can’t stand anymore; my legs feel numb… . ]

[Thank you for your hard work…]

Sigurd smiled wryly at Ares who was leaning back on the sofa . That individual action, missing for a whole day… . Sigurd himself was both annoyed and worried by this…but after seeing the appearance of Ares standing in the hall for the whole day, he couldn’t bring himself to get angry .

[The infamous Mother’s Talk… . it’s been a while since I last saw it . It’s… . even worse than torture…]

[At least it fixed mother’s mood…]

Ares then said .

[Mother always treated me like this . Always nagging, always refusing to understand . I’ve come to age this year, haven’t I? I can marry a girl already, can’t I? In other words, shouldn’t I considered an adult already? Even so, she still treated me the way she did when I was still a kid…]

[Ares-sama… . . ]

[Yes, it’s to discipline others . Sure . But thanks to that, I wasted a whole day . There is still a lot to do . I don’t want to waste any time . I was supposed to revise our plan . But it’s already late at night . So… . ]

[About that… . Ares-sama… . ]

[Haaー? What!?]

[About that, well…]

Sigurd said with apologetic face as he pointed at what behind Ares . His expression had a faint trace of despair

[What do you mean anyways!?]

Saying so, Ares turned around to see who was standing behind him .

[I suppose… . you haven’t had enough?]

There was Sera standing there, smiling as before and Julius who stood there with a sympathetic look .
Despite her smile, her eyes clearly not smiling .

Aa, what did I do wrong… .

Ares felt like he’s falling into darkness .

This feeling of frustration… .
In Leon’s memory, when his Arcadia Empire’s allied force was surrounded by more than 50 million enemy soldiers .
In Shin’s memory, it was when he was fighting the Demon King Galgain .
And on Gil’s memory, it was the time when he was considered an outlaw on all 5 countries .
None of that can rival this .
There were so many powerful enemies in the memories of these great individuals .

[Kuh! My mother is probably a horrible witch or something, and she must’ve defeated countless heroes already before!]

[Stop talking nonsense and come here . ]

[… . . yes . ]

Saying so as he followed Sera, Ares disappeared behind the door with a ghastly pale face . Sigurd and Julius could only pray for him as they looked on .

[ Hopefully Ares-sama [Esteemed Brother] can return safely . ]

That’s all .
