Chapter 33: It's Not The Right Time

"Are you okay?" Asked Zoel as all his anger from before disappeared. 

For some reason the boy gave him a familiar feeling.

"I am fine." Said Morana. Hearing commotion from outside Leonie, Amalia and others came out.

"What happened?" Asked Amalia after seeing her son talking to the boy.

"Mum"

when everyone came out Morana felt Victor's familiar mana and used her 'sight' to look at people around her.

[Good thing you brought that earring master otherwise this guy would have recognized you.]

'Hmm. But Jolly Victor mana is not the only familiar one I feel here, this couple here I seem to know them from somewhere.'

[That's because you have met them master, the first time you came here.]

'Ahh, So they are the legendary parents huh? So, my father is alive and that woman should be my mother, and this guy my brother. Now things are really getting interesting.'

[Yes, but it's weird how they are here with Victor.]

'What's so weird about it?'

[Well didn't this guy try to kill them and since they are here they must be looking for you master but now they are dining together with this guy, isn't it weird?]

'Jolly sometimes you really amaze me you know?'

Hearing her words Jolly subconsciously straightened his posture as he proudly said.

[Well of] but before he could finish his words, cold water was poured on him.

'Yeah, it really amazes me how I created someone as stupid as you. I really want to ask you do you really not see it when you look at Victor?'

Jolly tried to understand what his master was talking about but it was futile, no matter how much he looked at Victor he saw nothing new.

After a time of silence Morana continued.

'Forget it. It's my mistake. I have overestimated you.'

[Master]

'Whatever, can you really not see that Victor is not a human at all? Can you not feel anything familiar?'

After thinking about it for a while as if having a revelation, Jolly showed a knowing look.

[Master you don't mean]

'Exactly. He is what you call an artificial intelligence. If we look at him from the technological point of view, he is way behind from the once in my previous world but because of magic his physical and other defects have been made up for.'

[So]

'So, my parents should be well aware that his data can be rewritten and completely changed, meaning he can be useful instead of killing him this is a better choice.'

[Master?]

'Hmm?'

[How do you know so much about this? It can't be]

'Jolly?'

[Master, did you make any changes before into his program?]

'I don't know what you are talking about'

[Master you can't fool me this time. Now that I think about it Victor was a sadist instead of being a masochist and that bullsh*t story about him falling in love with your father] More Jolly thought about things more clear it became. As if opening Pandora's box all kinds of secrets were now right in front of his eyes.

[Master?... Master?] he called out wanting to know the truth, unfortunately a certain ancestor had better things to do and completely ignored him.

This discussion lasted about a minute before Morana came back to reality from Samael's call.

"Rana?" Because Morana didn't come back to their room for some time now, he got a little worried and decided to look for her. Then he saw her with a large group of people that were too strong to be from the lower realm and instantly became vigilant and called out to her.

Hearing Samael's voice Morana looked back.

"I accidentally bumped into this young man." She said then turned back to Zoel. "Sorry about that again."

"Don't worry about it." Said Zoel.

Hearing her words Samael calmed down and picked her up.

"Sorry about my brother, he has problems with sight." 

"Don't worry about it. Moreover, it's also my fault I suddenly rushed out of the room and bumped into him. I should be the one apologizing." Said Zoel once again to ease the situation.

Samael nodded his head and looked at Morana once again.

"Shall we go? I already set the bill."

"Hmm. Let's go." She said, then turned back to the group and waved her hand with a smile.

"Bye, bye."

She looked so cute that the group found themselves unintentionally waving back.

Only after about ten minutes had passed since Morana's departure did they finally manage to come back to reality.

"What was that just now?" Finally asked Amalia But others looked just as confused.

"Did any of you notice what that guy called him?" Asked Victor drawing others' attention to him.

"He called Rana. Moreover, the boy looked about nine and that habit of carrying him around is too much of a coincidence."

Finally, with Victor's word others also noticed the hidden hints.

"You mean that was the baby?" 

"Otherwise it's too much of a coincidence, don't you think?"

"But what was that about having a problem with sight?" Asked Amalia.

"That I don't know." 

Amalia was not the only one with questions, others also looked worried, they could not get rid of the bad thoughts as their imagination went wild thinking about some wild and life threatening battles their baby has gone through.

Back in the Inn Samael could not help but ask Morana.

"Do you know those people?"

"Why?"

"You seemed to know them."

"They are my biological parents and brother." Said Morana surprising Samael and after a moment of silence he asked once again.

"Don't you want to go with them."

"It's not the right time."

"If you want to" but before he finished his words Morana cut in.

"I always do what I want, you should know that by now."

"Hmm." Nodded Samael and didn't continue the conversation. It would be a lie if he said he was not curious, but he knew that if Morana didn't want to say something that she would not, no matter what.
