218 Recalling the pas (2/2)
Hearing her shout, Nikalas rushed into the hall to see his mother standing in front of him with killing intent flowing out of her eyes.
”Is it true?”
Vivian only asked three simple words as Nikalas realized that she heard everything he tried to hide from her through Riya.
”Mother”
”NIKALAS!”
He was startled to see his mother's anger and he was taken aback by her angry roar when he tried to calm her down.
Arrora and Amaryll did not intervene because her anger towards Harold was justified and they would react just as she did if someone did these things to their child.
”MOTHER!”
When Vivian stepped forward towards Nikalas, she fainted on the spot as Nikalas cried in panic.

(The next morning)
”You're awake”
When Vivian opened her eyes, she saw the troubled looking faces of RIya and her son while Amaryll and Reghys sat beside her on her bed.
”Didn't I tell you that your body and soul need strength? Your anger made your soul weak, you're lucky to be here or you would have died and left your son alone again”
Reghys voice showed the anger in her heart and when Vivian noticed the black circle under Nikalas's eyes, she realized she deserves more scolding from Reghys.
”It's my fault Reghys, I should have calmed her down yesterday”
Amaryll gently brushed off the hair from Vivian's face
”Before you don anything stupid, think about your son, if you're dead, not even the chosen one could bring you to life”
Reghys stormed out of the room after she said this as Vivian looked at Nikalas apologetically.
”You can't leave me again, mother, I won't let you”
Nikalas gripped her hand tightly as tears started to flow out of his eyes.
”Your majesty”
Vivian heard Riya and turned to see Don enter the room.
”How do you feel now?”
”Better”
Don nodded
”Leave us alone for a moment”
Hearing him, Amaryll stood up and looked at Nikalas and Riya
”Come”
Amaryll patted Nikalas's shoulder as she pushed his wheelchair and left the room taking Riya with her.
”What were you planning?”
Don calmly asked her leaning on the wall beside the window.
”You wanted to kill and punish Harold, didn't you?”
Vivian slowly nodded
”Do you think you can stroll over to Korrinth and slay the evildoers with your great master power?”
She really did plan to act just the way he said
”If you do that, not only you would put yourself in danger but everyone here and your son. Nikalas lived through everything to save you and if you die, it won't take long for him to take his own life, believe me, I literally know him longer than you”
The words pierced her heart like needles as he continued
”Korrinth is now protected by the cold moon palace so even if you kill Harold, what then? Darlene would hunt you and Nikalas to the end of this world, she has the resources and the means to do that”
”I can't forgive him, you don't have a child so you don't know how I feel?”
”No I don't, but what I do know is, you're his only family and he's yours”
”My parents”
”They are dead”
Vivian felt her heart skip a beat when she heard him
”I asked Joel to tell Nikalas that he couldn't find your parents but it was not the truth, your family was killed during the war between Zenith and Yven.
If I was unable to wake you up, I wanted him to hold onto something but now you can tell him the truth, and if you want to go to Zenith and take revenge, kill him by your hand before you go, because like I said, he won't have a reason to live after you die”
Sadness and anger flooded her mind but she tried her best to calm herself thinking of her son's face.
”So you want me to leave the ones who wronged my son, my family?”
”No”
He calmly said
”The reason you cannot take revenge is you're weak and I know how it feels to not do anything to those who wronged you and your loved ones. So ask yourself, WHAT DO YOU WANT?”
