The villainess shall be mine-Chapter 132 Reunion (Part 6)
Since I was going directly to the Empire's capital planet the next day, I decided to spend as much as possible with my family.
We went to a lot of beautiful places together and talked about various topics related to my life if I managed to pass the Academy's test.
The planet under the jurisdiction of Lord Tylliard was almost ten times bigger than ours so there we couldn't possibly visit all of the touristic spots in one day, and in the first place, that was not the point of our little outing.
Still, I was surprised to see how much the technology and the civilization on the planet had advanced to a level that I thought that it was better than the most advanced city on Earth. Despite the modern-looking buildings, the green tree and multicolored plants were more remarkable, making the scenery a lot more enjoyable to look at. However, that didn't mean that I could just ignore the floating vehicles that roamed in the sky, following a virtual road.
I wondered how long it would take for the humans living on Earth to progress to this level. After all, I was sure that I would be able to go back to Earth again one day.
Putting whatever I was thinking aside though, my mother began to talk about how I should take care of myself when I live alone. She looked like she genuinely thought that I wasn't able to care for myself and I didn't know why she had this idea, but I guessed that it might be because the chores and some of my needs were taken care of by maids before.
Looking at her, I knew that she wanted to do something for me, thus, I listened to every word she said without interrupting her.
After she finished giving me different advice, ranging from how I should brush my teeth to what type of girls I should avoid, I finally said something.
"Thanks for the advice, mom. However, I think that it would be possible for me to bring Cristal along according to Lord Tylliard," I explained, and my mother looked a little bit surprised.
"Cristal? Your friend? But how do I say this… What if she gets pregnant?" My Mom said with a worried expression.
"She is a professional maid, mom. We don't have any indecent relationship," I answered.
"Mmm… Well, you are at that age, after all," my mother nodded while saying these words.
"Hahaha… You don't even try to hide your real thoughts though," I said looking at her.
"As your mother, I am not against your choice when it comes to girls because you seem to be smart, but don't forget that you are still young, and raising children is hard," she continued.
I shook my head and smiled. "Well, I am still searching for the ideal person. As of now, I am still focusing on becoming more capable in other fields.
"Well, you are like your father when it comes to romance then. Before meeting me, he wasn't interested in girls at all and some people began to think that he loved men," my mother said. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
"Cough!" My father who was listening to my mother and me all of this time choked on the beverage that he was drinking.
"However, after meeting me, he turned into a different person. He even said that he would fight the whole world if he needed to. I always wondered what was going on inside of his head, if he was seriously thinking about what he said or just spouting nonsense, but I was just happy to see that he had no eyes for other women and was only focused on me," my mother said, and she sounded proud of what she said.
I felt a little a bit emotional seeing her like that and considering my father's condition. My mother was truly a wonderful woman.
"You will know this feeling too when you see someone like how your father saw me. I don't know what did he see, but you should ask him," she added.
"Hahaha. Okay, I will do that later," I replied with a smile on my face.
After that, we continued to discuss various things and enjoyed a lot of local delicacies while reminiscing about my childhood.
My father who was always the most talkative of us was unusually quiet and I knew why he was like that. Still, it didn't make the mood awkward or anything, and I could see that he was just enjoying listening and watching us.
My father and I didn't say anything to each other but somehow I could understand what he was thinking just by looking at his expression while he was staring at my mother and my sister.
Seeing this, I knew that I needed to do something about his condition. My father was fatally injured and his heart was almost crushed so they had to implement artificial organs inside him.
However, his life was still in danger and there was no telling when this artificial organ would stop functioning correctly.
Indeed, the situation took a dramatic turn but considering what happened, I was happy that at least my parents were still alive. As long as they were alive, I would be able to do something about their condition and I was already working on something that could help prolong my father's life with Cristal's help.
Nonetheless, these thoughts only crossed my mind for a second and then I continued to enjoy the time I spent with my family as much as I could again.

Later that evening, I began to prepare various things that I would need while I was in the Academy after talking with Lord Tylliard, as well as the things that I needed to take care of before I left.
I learned from him that it was not rare for the students to bring their attendants as most of them were the children of high-level Lords. Thus, I decided to take Blanca with me.
It was a decision that I took after a lot of consideration because if I decided to bring her, she could cause a lot of problems or hinder the progression of my plans, but thinking about some of the advantages of bringing her, I decided to opt for the first option.
After all, she was a veteran fighter and was also good at acting undercover, at least from what I could see, but I assumed that she was more talented than that. Still, I was a little bit worried about her character which was a little bit inconsistent when she was in some particular situation.
"Don't talk at all. Avoid talking, and just use gestures if someone tried to talk to you and I am not there. I can't let you mess up with my plans," I said.
"Hey! I never said that I will come with you!" Bianca shouted.
Ignoring her, I continued to think about various issues that I might face during the first few days at the Empire. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
Normally, such a thing should just smoothly as long as I follow the procedure but since I had a lot of other plans in motion, I couldn't take things lightly at the very beginning or I would have to readjust my plans again.
"Hey! Listen to me!" Blanca continued to speak loudly.
"This is what I am talking about. You should avoid this attitude at all costs. You should be the cold, mysterious and beautiful maid who secretly loves his master even though he is such a brat and decided to support him despite all. Mmm… This setting should do," I mumbled.
"What are you even talking about? I never agreed to this!"
"Are you saying that you can find your sister alone? Moreover, I still have some questions for you. You seem to like the food here, don't you? I wonder when you would eat such a thing again during your journey to find your sister alone," I mumbled.
"Do you think I am stupid?!" Blanca exclaimed.
"No, you are not. So you should know that there was no choice for you to begin with. If you listen to me, it will make things easier for both of us," I said pointing at my head. "Use your head now, and answer me. Are you going on a journey alone?"
"Tsk! Hmph! You have a bad character. No wonder Liu doesn't like you. She must have seen through your obnoxious smile," Blanca mumbled founder her breath, but it seemed like she accepted to follow my instructions.
Thus, I began to explain how she should act when she was with me and how she should handle other people.
And after I finished giving Blanca those instructions, I decided to think about what I should do with Linda.
Of course, I couldn't bring her to the Empire, but I could just leave her alone too because she needed to interact with decent human beings in a serene environment.
When thinking about that, I believed that living with my mother would be the best. However, that came with certain risks that I needed to consider seriously. Still, after taking all of the precautions, I decided to proceed with this idea.
One of Cristal's clones would continue to monitor her growth though and would eliminate her if she showed signs of turning back to her old self.
