24 Chapter 24: Breaking The Sound Barrier (1/2)
”Please don't go yet”, Lady Gremory held Lady Sitri's hand as they stood right outside the Gremory residence, Lady Gremory had tears in her eyes as Lord Gremory tried and pull her away from Lady Sitri. Mournommon could only hold Lady Sitri by her shoulder to stop her from moving forward and hugging Lady Gremory, which she had done about twelve times before and they had to say goodbye all over again.
”Why are women so emotional, it was fine in the beginning but get ahold of yourself!” thought Mournomon as he pulled Lady Sitri back. ”You'll see her again, no need to be that dramatically”, Mournomon said, he had to pull her away from the Gremory residence.
”I don't want to leave!!!”, Lady Sitri cried as Mournomon pulled her, Sona who was nestled in Lady Sitri's arms looked at her mother strangely. ”Let's go”, Mournomon said sympathetically.
”Heartless”, Lady Sitri screamed.
Mournomon just ignored her and kept pulling her away, ignoring the screams he heard from the Gremory mansions direction, ”Be strong Zeoticus”, Mournomon thought.
...
An hour later.
The trio of baby, devil, and dragon got onto a train and was currently heading back to the Sitri residence, Lady Sitri hadn't spoken a word since they had boarded the train, she sat down on the bench inside the room in the train and stared off into oblivion, Mournomon was standing off to the side peering out the window and watched the landscape as it passed by.
After who knows how long Lady Sitri finally stirred with a sigh, she spoke. ”I apologize that you had to see such an unsightly me, Mo. I hope you understand that Venelana and I have known each other for centuries and have been close sisters ever since we first met, it's hard not seeing her for so long and having such a short reunion is not enough to make up for the time we missed.”
”It's perfectly fine, it was just a bit... shocking, to say the least”, Mournomon said with a wry smile as he thought of the crazed Lady Sitri.
”I guess I will just have to wait until next time Zeoticus is of for Venelana to come and visit me”, Lady Sitri said sadly.
Mournomon couldn't watch any further so he quickly thought of a way to cheer her up, the train was about to stop at a station when something came to mind, ”Let's get off at the next stop, I might have something you would like.”, he said.
”What?”, she asked confusedly and Sona gave Mournomon a look that made it known that she didn't know what he meant.
”You will see”, Mournomon said as he smiled mysteriously.
...
A few kilometers from the station, the trio stood in an open space.
