Cheat Awakening

Chapter 372. A Mother's Plea

After Myne carefully surveyed the room's interior. His gaze fell upon the woman lying on the bed. She was alarmingly thin, her body bearing the telltale signs of malnutrition. Pale skin stretched tautly over her bones, framed by messy black hair reaching her shoulders. Dim, lifeless eyes, wearing thick layers of winter clothing.

Overall, if Myne ignored the black hair, the woman looked to be in her seventies or even older, yet there wasn't a wrinkle on her body.

Oh, so Gwen's mother doesn't have succubus blood, huh? That means the source of the problem must be her father. But are there even male succubi? Maybe I can ask Big Sis about it. She might know something... Myne thought.

Seeing that Gwen was still helping her mother with her coughing, he began to read the detailed information for each skill.

Mindweaving:

Description: This skill allows the practitioner to manipulate the thoughts and perceptions of others through subtle hypnotic suggestions. With a mere glance or a whispered word, they can lull individuals into a trance-like state, influencing their actions and perceptions without them realizing it.

The more mana the caster uses, the more stable the hypnotic effect on the target and the longer it lasts. The target's willpower and mental toughness can also affect the duration of the hypnosis on them.

Cooldown Time: None

"My apologies, Ms. Hazelwood. Please forgive me for being impolite and not introducing myself. I'm Myne Fortuna. I hope I didn't disturb your rest," Myne said with an apologetic smile.

Fiora coughed weakly. "No, no, you haven't disturbed me at all. In fact, I get quite bored lying here all day. And this stubborn daughter of mine always runs away for work, so there's hardly anyone to keep me company. Now that you're here, I'm more than happy for the 'disturbance.'" Her voice was sweet but a little hoarse from the constant coughing.

Although she wanted to get up from bed to greet Myne, considering his perceived status, both Myne and Gwen stopped her, she could only speak while lying on the bed.

"How forgetful of me," Fiora continued, another cough interrupting her but it was covered by her weak chuckle. "I haven't introduced myself either. My name is Fiora Hazelwood, Gwen's mother. It's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for looking after her, Lord Myne."

"Haha, please don't be so formal. It embarrasses me. Gwen and I are very close, so you can call me Myne just like her," Myne replied while waving his hand. He then looked around for a place to sit but found none. Helplessly he could only use the Realize skill, to conjure two chairs behind him, surprising both mother and daughter.

"We're going to have a long conversation, and it would be uncomfortable for you to see us standing right in front of your face the entire time," Myne explained with a chuckle before sitting down on one of the chairs. Gwen followed suit, an embarrassing look appearing on her face as she quickly lowered her head. In her excitement to introduce Myne, she had completely forgotten about bringing chairs.

Fiora couldn't help but chuckle seeing her daughter act so flustered. "So, are you two... together?" she asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Well, yes. Although we only met today, under the influence of Gwen's body special condition, she... lost control and we engaged in an act typically reserved for married couples. However, after some in-depth conversation, I understood that she possesses a unique bloodline similar to my third wife. Therefore, I decided to make Gwen my woman.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before she would be in great trouble. After all, her bloodline is very troublesome, even though she only has one-tenth of her entire bloodline, but that alone is more than enough to ruin her life unless she can find someone better than me, who can take care of her."

Myne, seeing that Fiora didn't seem like someone who wasted others' time, didn't hide anything and directly told the truth. Anyone, It was clear Gwen had a deep crush on him, evident even to the naked eye. While their love wasn't profound after just one day of in-depth communication, it was also true that Gwen genuinely desired to be with him. Myne himself was quite taken a liking with her as well.

As they spent more time together, it was only a matter of time before she solidified her place in his family.

Myne's truth was a bit too direct. It not only shocked Fiora, but even Gwen was dumbfounded. But Gwen's reason of being shocked was her bloodline problem, but because she heard a key point: Myne had more than two wives. This meant competition was much fiercer than Gwen had originally anticipated, now if she wanted to monopoly Myne, she had to work super hard.

"So you already know about her bloodline? That's quick. I thought not many people knew about it in our kingdom. Even I, after wasting nearly ten years, learned about her father's origin," Fiora said, her gaze drifting to the ceiling. While she didn't directly curse Gwen's father to death, the underlying anger in her voice was unmistakable when she mentioned him.

Actually, I was initially unaware. However, I recently had an accident that led me to meet my third wife, who happens to be a succubus. After getting a weak but familiar feeling from Gwen, I understood that she is half-succubus," Myne replied calmly, shaking his head and looking at Fiora with a hint of pity.

Though he lacked knowledge about other races, it was clear Fiora had endured a great deal in seeking revenge. After all, succubi were a race of real hell dimension, where Gal belonged. It wasn't easy to find information about her race in this world.

"Myne, since Gwen has chosen you as her partner, I won't interfere. Honestly, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have much choice. I'm well aware of Gwen's special condition, and clearly, her hands can't stop her inner desire for too long. However, I do have a small request. Since your third wife is also a succubus, could you please ask her to help Gwen control her bloodline?

If you weren't around one day and she lost control, the consequences could be dire," Fiora asked seriously, taking Gwen's hand in hers.

Well, I don't think a girl who couldn't control herself can help others to control themselves. If she can control herself, then I'm not wearing this ring," Myne thought jokingly, remembering the day when Gal had ambushed him and done a lot of bad things with him before forcing him to become her partner.

"Sorry, Ms. Fiora. While I wouldn't hesitate to ask Gal to help Gwen, it's currently impossible. She doesn't belong in this world, and I have no idea where she might be at this moment. I can only hope that our paths cross again someday. If that happens, I will definitely ask her to help Gwen.

Until that day, you can rest assured I will definitely take full care of her," Myne said with a forced smile while hiding the sadness in his heart as he patted Gwen's smooth, silky black hair.
