In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

This made Maria feel uncomfortable all over.

But every time she wanted to pull her hand away, Lamaren would forcefully pull Maria's hand back, squinting her eyes and looking at her with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

She asked the question in an innocent tone, her slightly raised eyes showing a hint of smile and the joy of a little girl who had succeeded in her revenge.

This made Maria silent for a long time before she turned her head away helplessly.

"fine."

"How cold...Maria."

Lamaren spoke softly.

Over the years, she is no longer the naive little girl she used to be. Even when facing Maria, she can face her true heart and launch a strong attack on Maria.

Maria lived up to her character of high offense and low defense. Facing Ramalen's toughness, she just turned her head away without saying a word.

She can be shy too!

But it is obvious that Ramalen's resentment cannot be eliminated by playing around.

She was unwilling to just swallow all these years of neglect.

At least you should take the initiative a few times, right?

Thinking of this, Ramalen's attack became noticeably more intense.

She moved closer to Maria, her pale cheek pressed against hers, the tip of her nose barely touching the side of her face.

The breath was like a warm current, gently brushing Maria's cheek.

"Why...are you hiding from me?"

Lamaren spoke softly, and her gentle voice slowly reached Maria's ears, with a hint of lament and regret.

"Have you already begun to dislike me because I'm no longer young? And I'm a mother with a child?"

"..."

Ramalen's words were just to annoy Maria, but it must be said that when she mentioned the child, Maria turned her head away.

She spoke, and her expression, which had been a little reserved, now became serious.

"Lamaren..."

"Eh?"

Lamaren obviously didn't realize what offspring meant to someone like Maria.

She just felt that after seeing Maria's bright eyes, she was stunned for a while.

"What...what happened?"

Although she had been very aggressive just now, when Maria really looked at her, Lamaren still retreated.

"Logos...he..."

Maria's mouth opened slightly.

Although the matter has now come to a conclusion, she still hopes to get a result.

But just when she was about to ask Ramalen, her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter a word.

This made Maria freeze in place.

And Ramalen also paused for a moment.

She looked at Maria, then at her slightly hesitant and uneasy expression, and raised the corners of her mouth helplessly.

"Alphanil..."

"Ok?"

"Alphanil, that's the child's name."

Lamaren stopped playing with her fingers, just quietly held Maria's hand, and looked at each other silently.

"As for his last name... do you need me to confirm it with you?"

“…No, that’s not necessary.”

At this point, everything is clear.

After receiving Ramalen's affirmation, Maria's expression changed several times.

From hesitation, to fear, to confusion and helplessness...all the way to the tranquility of today.

It's like reflecting my own mental journey.

Maria finally ended her silence with a long breath.

That Logos...

It's her and Ramalen's child!

only……

"I thought you'd look surprised."

Lamaren looked at Maria in front of her, chuckled and shook her head.

"I thought you would ask me all sorts of questions...but your reaction is so calm..."

"……Um."

Maria rubbed her brow.

She had no intention of escaping from her identity and responsibilities.

only……

Suddenly, I have another child?

I was also absent from all his past.

This made Maria feel very delicate.

As she had mentioned to others before, during Maria's childhood, her family, despite their arrogance towards humans, treated her with great respect and love.

This also made Maria clear about what kind of person is a qualified parent.

And obviously, she is now unqualified...

She didn't know how to face Logos.

Meet him directly and reveal your identity?

It doesn't seem appropriate...

Or... take him to the hunting ground and train him for a while, and then explain it to me?

That doesn't seem good either?

The more she thought about it, the more Maria felt like a hunter who had just entered Yharnam, at a loss when facing monsters.

Ramalen didn't think too much about it.

She just smiled at Maria, turning her head slightly.

"You've already met him, haven't you?"

"Um……"

"How is he? Isn't he cute?"

Lamaren narrowed her eyes, leaned against Maria, chuckled, and poked Maria's cheek with her finger.

Mrs. Leng Leng, who is full of mystery in front of ordinary people, is still as cute as a little girl in front of Maria.

It's just a bit aggressive...

"That child always wanted to prove himself... That's why he was often injured when he was young."

"And then he joined Rhodes Island without saying anything... I wouldn't object to him, but I'm still a little sad that he did it without saying anything."

"He's also a child who has reached his rebellious stage..."

Lamaren leaned against Maria and spoke slowly.

Of course, she noticed Maria's complicated mood at the moment.

But she also knew that this matter could not be resolved with just a few words.

Maria's absence was really too long... Even though everyone still has feelings for each other, it still takes a lot of time to adapt to each other.

So she chose another approach.

Use what happened during Maria's absence to slowly familiarize everyone with the story.

But seeing that Maria still remained silent, she sighed and shook her head.

"If you do this, he will be sad~"

"Ok?"

Maria turned her head in confusion.

And Lamaren continued.

“That child, although he never said it, he was always proud of his father’s past as the savior of Kazdel… Even though he always said he didn’t care when he grew up, that heroes are heroes and parents are parents…”

"But in fact, he never allows anyone to say bad things about you."

Lamaren spoke softly, intending to make Maria relax.

Logos will not refuse her.

But in fact, such words only increased Maria's sense of guilt.

Even the puppet beside him seemed helpless.

After a long pause, Maria came back to her senses.

"Feel sorry……"

"..."

Ramalen paused for a few seconds.

She turned her head silently and looked at Maria.

After a long pause, she looked helpless.

"So... you're not planning on meeting him face to face yet, are you?"

Lamaren is also Maria's bedmate and understands this guy's character.

After hearing Maria's sudden apology, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Ah."

Maria took a deep breath and shook her head slightly.

"Now……"

"No need to say more."

Lamaren narrowed her eyes and looked at Maria with a chuckle.

When Maria hesitated, he reached out and touched her lips.

Although she just acted like a resentful widow, in fact, Ramalen has never been a vase or any other accessory.

She is the Banshee Lord, and she once led an entire tribe!

She knew that sometimes, when faced with the general trend, personal ideas had to be suppressed.

Maria's initial reaction had already shown her how much Maria valued herself and the child.

This was enough for Ramalen, who had been waiting for a long time.

Maria didn't care, she just... had her own things to deal with...

This is enough……

She knew Maria's origins were extraordinary, and she also knew that what Maria would face might be something terrifying that none of them had ever heard of...
