What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?-Chapter 17 Avoidable Anger, Hidden Strength

Soon, Arthur reached the doorstep of his mother's room, and he was very nervous now.

"Well, how should I reason?"

"I must have a good reason; otherwise, the consequences are dire."

"Her obsession is getting higher every day, and even I feel a crisis like with Charlotte when with her."

"However, she is still my mother and my closest person, and even in the novel, she was willing to die for "Arthur" when she found out that "Arthur" was killed by Abel."

"I really cherish the feeling of family love, even before my reincarnation before coming to this world."

"Even though I consider her a mother, she considers me more than a son." The corner of his mouth twitched, and he shook his head.

Immediately, he took a deep breath and strengthened his resolve!

'Knock Knock'

"Mom, can I come in?" Arthur knocked on the door and said slowly.

"..."

However, he got no response from inside his mother's room and once again checked.

"Mom, are you inside?"

There has been no response from the inside of the room.

"Could she be asleep?" He rubbed his little chin, and his eyes lit up.

"Thank god! I was able to survive today!" He shouted inwardly and heaved a sigh of relief.

Soon, he turned around and wanted to go back to his room, and suddenly his vision went dark and he felt dizzy and faint.

Behind him, a woman with blue hair flowing over her shoulders stared coldly at the unconscious Arthur.

...

"Ugh..." Arthur woke up, and his head felt very painful, as if it had been hit by a wooden stick.

"What exactly happened?" His blurry vision cleared up, and he immediately wanted to move his body.

However, he felt that his hands were locked and could not move, and then he saw that his hands and feet were tied with ropes!

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?!" He cursed inwardly and immediately shifted his gaze around the room.

He was shocked and recognized his surroundings.

"This! Isn't this mom's room?" He muttered and tried to move his hands, but it was in vain as he was completely unable to move them at all.

"The ties are so tight!"

"And who would dare to do this to me, the heir of Duke Asvold in the Balka Empire?" He stared intently at the surroundings and thought.

Soon, he noticed someone.

"Mother? Did she do this?" He immediately thought of someone, and his heart raced.

In his panic, he forgot that this was his mother's room, and of course, who else could have done this except his mother?

"Ouch, I got hit by an iron plate this time!"

"She must be very angry now that I came late to keep her company!"

He quickly gave up and laid down on the bed.

He couldn't do anything and was just waiting for the execution time.

Soon, the door to the room opened, and a very beautiful woman appeared behind it.

Arthur, who was lying down, immediately sat up and smiled stiffly at the woman in front of him.

"Mom, what happened?"

ραпdα n?νa| сom "Why am I tied up like this?" He put on an innocent face that perfectly fit the image of a clueless three-year-old. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

However, Elizabeth kept looking at him coldly and walked towards him step by step.

Every step she took was the same as his beating heart!

He was nervous and shivered as the atmosphere suddenly became like this.

However, he was a face controller, and his acting was said to be number one in his previous world!

He looked up at his mother, who was already sitting on the edge of the bed with an innocent face.

"What exactly happened, mom?"

However, instead of hearing the answer, she asked back in a cold tone.

"Where did you go?"

Arthur was immediately confused and spoke in a soft voice.

"I was in the library, mom."

"What happened exactly?"

Immediately, the temperature in the room dropped drastically, and his mother's angry voice rang in his ears.

"Nonsense!"

"I checked the library earlier and found no one in it!"

"Are you lying, my dear?"

Arthur immediately fell silent and was shocked in his heart.

"What! How could that be?"

"I was in the library all along!"

"And I didn't see you come in there."

"What exactly happened?" His mind was really reeling right now.

However, he still wore a clueless look on his face.

"I'm not lying, mom!"

"I was just inside the library reading a book."

"You know, I've never lied to you before." Arthur had tears streaming down his small face and looked abused.

Seeing his handsome and cute face look miserable like this made Elizabeth regain her gentle gaze and immediately hugged his head to her huge breast.

"Forgive me, my dear!"

"I didn't mean it like that because I was worried about you leaving me alone!"

"I'm sorry, my dear, and don't leave me, okay?" She pleaded piteously, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Arthur, who was hugged to her chest, felt short of breath!

However, he did not resist and tried to continue acting.

"It's okay, mom."

"I don't blame you at all!"

"Maybe it's my fault for not accompanying you and being busy alone reading a book." Arthur's gentle and affectionate voice made her a little crazy, but she immediately suppressed this feeling.

A gentle smile full of affection appeared on her face. "Thank you, my son~"

"Umm~" Arthur murmured softly.

Soon, Elizabeth untied him, and Arthur was overjoyed in his heart.

"Damn! I survived the gates of hell this time!"

"However, why did mom suddenly say that she didn't find me in the library?"

Immediately, he shook his head and thought nothing of it.

In addition to wearing him out from reading books in the library, the mysterious book made him always vigilant for uncontrollable possibilities.

Right now, he just wanted to fall asleep on his mother's soft chest because it felt so comfortable.

"Hoam~" Arthur yawned, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Elizabeth, who saw this, was very happy, and she stroked his black hair with affection in her eyes.

Soon, after feeling that her son was fast asleep, she lost her gentle smile, and her gaze became very cold.

"Who dares hide my dear from me?" She narrowed her eyes and thought.

Someone infiltrated her mansion, and she didn't even realize it at all!

How could it be possible that she, who was at the Elemental Saint stage, could accept this?!

If Arthur knew of his mother's powerful strength, he would probably exclaim excitedly, "As expected from a hidden boss!"

Unfortunately, he fell asleep comfortably on his mother's soft chest~

"No matter who it is!"

"Whoever dares to take him away from me, I will kill them ruthlessly!"

The entire room was immediately shaken by an incredibly strong aura, and the mansion itself suffered earthquake-like shaking.

Many of the maids and guards panicked and thought it was an enemy attack!

However, only she and Arthur didn't feel this shaking.

Because she controlled her power perfectly!

After calming down, she looked back at Arthur, who was fast asleep, and whisper softly

"You are the single most important person to me."

"You are my hope and my reason for living."

"If you leave me one day, forgive me if I will be forced to be hard on you, dear~"

A small smile appeared on her lips, and she kissed his cheek.

Note:

Okay, I've placed the various layouts.

It may be too long, but I did it on purpose because a long series is needed for this novel.

These layouts will be needed in the future and, of course, have a connection with the final arc of the novel fufufu~

But since I only uploaded about 1,000 words per chapter, I need more chapters for it.

By the way, I'm actually a little confused now about whether I should add Elizabeth as a harem or not.

Honestly, there is a prohibition for the "incest" tag in the story, and I'm hesitating now. What do you think, guys?

One more, the next chapters will focus on the development of the plan and on Arthur's strength.

Thank you!
