Chapter 483: Talk (1/2)

After the coronation ceremony and it's after party, Alicia was finally alone with just her mom, Tang An. ”Mother, can I ask why you sent me to a whole different universe?”

Tang An froze… The way Alicia addressed Tang An as 'Mother' instead of 'mom'already made Tang An know that Alicia knew she was in a different universe altogether and that she could say anything against this fact. ”It's a long story and I need to pack, so can we talk about this later?”

By later, she meant after she toured all the planets. Hoping in a few tens of years Alicia would forget the whole thing. But unfortunately her brush off was not going to work on Alicia. ”Oh? I guess I need to have your visa flagged upon entry to send you back to Phantasia, since you plan to run away.”

”Akari! That is an abuse of power!” Tang An couldn't believe Alicia would go that far just to hear the truth!

”So be it! I will abuse my power until you tell me. Now come on, spill it.” Seeing how she could not escape her daughter's interrogation, she had no choice but to sit and spill the beans.

”What I am about to say, will not make you happy… In truth… The baby Ming and I had never made it. At that time we were still in the other universe and on the run. I was hit by an attack that caused me to lose my child. Sometime later, we came across a mysterious person cloaked in white, who held a baby in his arms. He seemed almost spectral with his body that looked as if it was on fire. He asked us if we could raise you as our own. If we accepted that task he would send us to a safe place to live out our days.

”We agreed and he sent us to Earth, in a different universe. He gave us new names and a place to live so we could live out our days there. It did not take me long to figure out that we were not in the same universe. It took a long time but I was finally able to push my projection into the other universe when I saw signs of you having issues with your magic power. But the only way to do it was to let it eat at my life force. That was how I set up everything so that once your soul was released from your body I could send it to the other universe. The rest you already know.

” Akari, It's all a confusing mess but it is the truth. I never wanted to tell you all this because to me you are my flesh and blood and always will be.” Tang An felt nervous with Alicia being so quiet. She hoped her daughter did not hate her now.

”Maybe that would explain a few things...” Alicia muttered. She wondered if the things she was seeing, dreaming about, and her unexplained obsession with the girl named Ah Chun, had something to do with her actual origins.

”Akari?” Tang An called out again.

Shaking her head Alicia smiled and hugged tang An tightly. ”Mom will always be mom. You raised me, protected me, and loved me. You and dad are my parents and nothing will ever change between us!”
