"What do you think, Aise?"
Xia Lun and his wife sat opposite their son, presenting Aina's proposal to him.
"I have no objections, of course." Aise rested his hands on his knees, sitting with perfect posture, and revealed a bright smile. "Father, I've actually been considering this for a while. I am no longer a child. It is time for me to leave your sight and forge my own achievements."
"Is that so? That's good... but are you sure you will be alright living out there alone?" Xia Lun couldn't help but feel a bit worried. After all, Aise had never left their side since he was a child.
Aise was very strong; Xia Lun wasn't actually worried about his safety.
It was mainly Aise's... condition... that concerned Xia Lun greatly.
"Is Young Master Aise going to live on his own?"
An old, one-armed maid pushed a dining cart past them. Hearing Xia Lun and the others discussing the matter, her eyes immediately lit up. "Why not let Eni go with him? That girl gets along well with Young Master Aise and can help take care of him... If Young Master Aise leaves, she will definitely be heartbroken."
Xia Lun frowned. "They are both coming of age. It seems inappropriate for a young man and woman to live alone together."
"What's inappropriate about it? Master Xia Lun, Aise and Eni grew up playing together." The old maid blinked at Aise. "Isn't that right, Young Master Aise? That girl Eni loves clinging to you..."
Aise originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the memory of Eni helping him tend to his wounds last night surfaced in his mind.
"I think this matter should be left for Eni to decide herself," Aise said calmly.
"You see, Master Xia Lun? Young Master Aise sees things much more clearly than you do," the old maid chuckled softly.
"Alright, since you've said so... Aise, be mindful of boundaries." Xia Lun patted Aise's shoulder, choosing to trust that his son wouldn't do anything out of line.
"That's wonderful. I will go tell Eni. I'm sure she will be thrilled." Overjoyed, the old maid pushed her cart and quickly left.
"Then I shall go prepare as well. Father, Mother." Aise rose from the sofa and excused himself.
"Mm. If you encounter any trouble outside, come back immediately," Xia Lun said gently.
Aina took a sip of the black tea the maid had brought. It had gone a bit cold, so she gently placed it back on the table.
"How careless," Aina scoffed coldly. "You treat her too well, Xia Lun."
"We've been together for ten years, after all. It's only human nature." Xia Lun also shook his head and sighed.
"And she has ulterior motives," Aina pointed out bluntly. "Xia Lun, what do you plan to do?"
"She is getting old. Let's give her a pension and dismiss her at the end of the month." Xia Lun picked up the cup of tea Aina had left half-finished and drained it in one gulp.
"I am asking about your son, Xia Lun. Don't tell me you are completely oblivious."
Looking at the empty teacup in Xia Lun's hand, Aina's lips involuntarily curled up into a faint smile for some reason.
"Well... didn't nothing happen between Liyana and me either?"
"Not everyone is like you. Besides, that Liyana likes women," Aina corrected him.
"Fair enough..." Xia Lun, of course, knew this as well.
Aina continued to ask, "So, what are you going to do?"
"Let them be. It's not good for us to interfere too much." Xia Lun gently wrapped his arm around Aina's waist. "Think about it. If someone had interfered with our relationship back then, what would you have done?"
"Kill them," Aina said coldly, releasing such a thick murderous intent that even Xia Lun stiffened in fright.
"Exactly. That boy Aise is actually quite like you. Although he has always been obedient, if we meddle too much in his affairs, perhaps something much worse would happen."
After pondering for a moment, Aina said, "Is this... what you humans call a rebellious phase?"
Xia Lun smiled. "You could understand it that way, I suppose."
...
"Mother, what did you say? You want me to move out and live alone with Young Master Aise?" Eni's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"That's right! This is the perfect opportunity! I can tell that boy definitely has feelings for you. You should take this chance to win him over!" The old maid reached out with her only remaining hand and happily patted her daughter's shoulder.
"No... I don't want to, Mother..." Eni bit her lower lip, then shook her head in resistance.
"What are you dissatisfied with? If Master Xia Lun hadn't saved us back then, who knows what would have become of us by now!"
Seeing her daughter actually refuse, the old maid instantly flew into a rage. "Young Master Aise is handsome, and his family is so well-off... I've told you since you were little, you must swallow your pride, cling to him, and please him! Even if he tells you to lick his toes, you must obediently do as he says!"
"But I'm truly afraid... Mother, Young Master Aise..." A hint of fear seeped into Eni's eyes. "He is a monster!"
Having spent so much time with Aise, Eni naturally knew what was wrong with him.
He had a morbid thirst for slaughter... He would even sneak out in the middle of the night to satisfy his murderous desires.
"If Young Master Aise has an episode... he will definitely kill me!" Recalling the look in Aise's eyes back then, Eni couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing her daughter like this, the old maid's expression softened again.
"How could Young Master Aise ever harm you? Silly girl, he likes you... Just rest assured. As long as you obediently listen to him, nothing will go wrong... Think about it, this is a chance to soar to the heavens! Look at how majestic Lady Aina is here. No one dares to disobey her. Didn't you always tell me how beautiful and powerful Lady Aina is? If you become Mrs. Aise in the future, you will have the same status as her..."
The old maid gently hugged her daughter.
"Mother is doing all this for your own good... With your status, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't even be fit to be Young Master Aise's mistress... But Master Xia Lun is different from other nobles. He is a great man and won't tear you two apart... Go and serve Young Master Aise well, understand?"
"Yes..." Eni finally nodded.
...
Outside the door, Aise's hand paused in mid-air. He slowly lowered it without knocking.
His face was calm, but his eyes were wide open, seemingly harboring an uncontrollable rage.
Faint streaks of black aura flashed within his crimson pupils.
Aise turned his body somewhat stiffly, walking away with erratic steps like a rusting puppet.
Before he had taken many steps, Aise tightly clutched his chest and bent over, his face becoming increasingly contorted in a hysterical manner.
By the time he straightened his back again, his face had rapidly recovered, once more wearing the elegant and gentle smile his father praised so highly, and his footsteps had become light and smooth again.
"Heh, how boring."
