LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 4: Chapter 4 {Simple Rules}
*Aika stopped in her tracks, her back still turned to her master. She let out a small sigh, her shoulders sagging slightly as she listened to the rules. "Yes, Master," she said, her voice firm but with a hint of resignation. "I understand. I'll make sure to follow the rules."*
Aika turned around, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.
"But, Master, you know me. I'm not exactly the most... diplomatic person. Can I at least defend myself if necessary?" She raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on her lips.
Aika's expression turned serious, her eyes gleaming with a hint of intensity.
"And, Master, I'll make sure to control my temper. But if someone pushes me too far... all bets are off." She gave a small, sharp nod, her jaw setting in a firm line.
"Master, what about my accommodations on Azura? Will I be staying at the grandmaster's estate?"
Aika's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze piercing.
"And what about my... extracurricular activities, Master? I have certain... hobbies that I enjoy. Will I be able to pursue them on Azura, or will I need to keep a low profile?"
Aika's voice was laced with a hint of curiosity, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She was referring, of course, to her love of spicy food, sweets, and rare tea. She was a woman who enjoyed the a simple life. Dislike being disturbed by anyone.
*Aika's gaze seemed to bore into her master's soul, as if daring him to say no. "I hope I won't have to give up my naps and tea time, Master. A woman needs her relaxation, after all."*
Aika's expression turned mischievous, her eyes glinting with amusement.
"And, of course, I'll need to find a suitable supplier of spicy food and sweets on Azura. I hear the empire is famous for its cuisine." She smiled, her lips curving upward in a sly smile.
"Kid Azure is massive Galaxy do whatever you please just follow the rules I set out for you."
Aika's face lit up with a wide smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Thank you, Master! I'll make sure to follow the rules and have a wonderful time on Azura."
Aika bowed her head slightly, a gesture of respect and gratitude.
"I won't disappoint you, Master. I'll be on my best behavior and make sure to take care of myself and the children."
Aika's smile grew even wider, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"I'm looking forward to exploring Azura and trying all the delicious food and drinks the galaxy has to offer. And, of course, spending time with the grandmaster and his wife."
Aika turned to leave, her movements light and carefree.
"I'll be off, Master. I have a galaxy to explore!"
*Aika's eyes seemed to glaze over, lost in thought as she walked away from her master. She couldn't believe that she was actually going back to Azura, the place where she had been hurt and betrayed by so many people.*
Aika's jaw clenched, her teeth grinding together in anger as she thought about all the people who had wronged her. She wanted to go back and take revenge, to make them pay for what they had done to her.
But then she remembered her master's rules, and her expression softened slightly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and remember that she had to follow the rules.
Aika's eyes narrowed, her gaze turning inward as she repeated the rules to herself.
"Don't reveal my true identity, don't kill anyone, don't cause chaos, and control my temper." She repeated the rules over and over, trying to drill them into her mind.
Aika's expression turned determined, her jaw setting in a firm line. She would follow the rules, no matter how hard it was. She would go back to Azura, and she would make sure to take care of herself and the people she loved.
Aika's expression softened, a hint of sadness creeping into her eyes as she thought about her fourth son, Sterling. She had been so devastated when she lost him, and even though it had been many years ago, the pain still lingered.
Aika's gaze drifted off, lost in thought as she remembered the joy and excitement she had felt when she was pregnant with quadruplets. She had been so looking forward to meeting all four of her babies, and the loss of Sterling had been a crushing blow.
Aika's eyes welled up with tears, but she blinked them back, her jaw setting in a firm line. She had learned to live with the pain, and she had found ways to honor Sterling's memory. She would always carry him in her heart, and she would always love him, no matter what.
Aika took a deep breath, her expression composed once more. She had three beautiful children who needed her, and she would always be there for them. But Sterling would always hold a special place in her heart, and she would never forget him.
"Ayla, Penelope, and Kingston Ross all three of you line up," Aika said sternly and tried to act serious in front of her six year old children.
Aika's eyes sparkled with amusement as she tried to maintain a stern expression. The triplets, Ayla, Penelope, and Kingston, looked up at her with big, innocent eyes, their faces scrunched up in unison.
"Yes, Mommy!" they chimed in unison, their little voices squeaking with excitement.
"Whose idea was to explored Master Mia alchemy practice room?" Aika asked. All three of them pointed at each other the three feared one thing only and that was their mama punishment it wasn't hitting them or any of that but oh boy oh boy was it the worst for them.
Aika's eyes narrowed, her gaze sweeping across the three culprits.
"So, no one is going to take responsibility for this?" she asked, her voice stern but with a hint of amusement. The triplets looked at each other, then back at Aika, their eyes wide with fear.
Ayla, the most outspoken of the three, spoke up.
"M-mommy, it was Kingston's idea!" she stammered. Penelope and Kingston immediately denied it, pointing at each other and Ayla.
Aika's expression turned serious, her eyes glinting with a hint of warning.
"You know what happens when you don't take responsibility for your actions, don't you?" she asked, her voice low and even. The triplets nodded in unison, their faces pale with fear.
Aika's punishment was legendary among the children. It wasn't physical, but it was far worse. She would make them sit through an entire day of listening to her favorite opera music, complete with dramatic singing and storytelling. The triplets shuddered at the thought, their eyes welling up with tears.
Aika's eyes sparkled with amusement as the triplets pointed at each other, their faces scrunched up in fear.
"No one is going to take responsibility?" she asked, her voice stern but with a hint of amusement. The triplets looked at each other, then back at Aika, their eyes wide with fear.
"Mama if we tell you we love youuuuuuuu would you forgive us?" The youngest out of the triplets Penelope asked with a small pout.
Aika's expression softened, her eyes melting at Penelope's adorable pout. She couldn't resist the triplets' charms, and Penelope's question was the perfect way to get out of trouble.
Aika's face broke into a warm smile, and she knelt down to scoop up Penelope in a big hug.
"Of course, my little one," she said, her voice filled with affection.
"I love you too, and I always forgive you. But next time, let's try to stay out of Master Mia's alchemy practice room, okay?"
Aika glanced at Ayla and Kingston, who were watching with hopeful eyes.
"And that goes for all of you," she added, pulling them into a group hug. "I love you all so much, and I'm proud of you for owning up to your mistakes."
The triplets hugged Aika back, relieved that they were forgiven and happy to have escaped the dreaded opera music punishment.
"Oh since we are having a family hug we are moving to Azure Empire Galaxy mama home planet we are going to see your great grandfather and great grandmother," Aika said sweetly to her kids.
"Oh since we are having a family hug we are moving to Azure Empire Galaxy mama home planet we are going to see your great grandfather and great grandmother," Aika said sweetly to her kids. The triplets where excited after all the times they did they Aqlio Galaxy where when their mama had to do missions or other businesses and they would always wear disguise so no one would recognize them the triplets always wondered why their mother hide herself she was so beautiful like a fairy goddess and powerful like a endless warrior dragon goddess so would dare bully their mama?
Aika smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"That's right, my little ones. We're going home, and you'll get to meet your great-grandparents. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to see you." The triplets squealed with excitement, bouncing up and down with anticipation. Aika's smile faltered for a moment, her eyes clouding over with memories of her complicated past, but she quickly pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the joy of her children.
