Chapter 304: Grandma!

Alex and Remia logged into the game world, ready to face the queen.

Remia told her beloved that her mother might be less talkative than usual, expecting Alex to fulfill his promises first.

Her future husband was ready for such a cold treatment. It was cold, for Yumia often talked with Alex, sharing stories about the past or teaching him about chess.

The queen was lonely deep inside, and probably everyone close to her understood her heart, including Alex.

Thus, there were no hard feelings at all!

[Welcome to the Avander World]

The couple had logged out before the queen's room, so they appeared straight before her doors. After knocking respectfully, Alex and Remia received permission to step into Yumia's room.

Everything had reverted to the old state. Alex and Remia exchanged bedsheets, cleaned up the floor, and the queen's room already kicked away all uncomfortable smells.

Yumia also no longer had any pack of weed in her inventory. She felt a little need to suck more on those peculiar cigarettes, though.

But as Alex and Remia appeared in her life again, Yumia forgot all her needs. She turned into mother-in-law and the queen form simultaneously, gazing at the couple from her usual seat.

"Invite me to your castle, Alexander," Yumia spoke as if demanding, using little words, still riled up from the last night's events.

Alex didn't comment on her behavior, for she had all rights to be like that, "Good afternoon, mother-in-law." He said those words before sending a special ticket invitation to his castle.

Yumia noticed her system's notification. She nodded before using it to teleport straight to Alex's Deathwill Castle.

Remia and Alex exchanged glances before following her.

"Who are you?" Celia asked a lady whose face looked similar to aunt Remia.

As the princess of this very castle, Celia always found a new presence first, even before Erin. She sprinted to the unfamiliar girl, her big blue eyes barely able to reflect Yumia's tall and straight posture.

Celia didn't feel any bad intent. It was mainly because Yumia looked similar to Remia, who was her aunt. But as Celia gazed deeply into Yumia's face, her twinkling eyes noticed a few similarities.

Yes, this girl was similar to Remia. But Celia saw more than just that. She saw her mother's smile in Yumia's kind expression.

"Are you Alexander's daughter?" Yumia asked, keeping her motherly smile as Celia was an adorable creature. She held her white horse plush toy tightly while having two unique wolfs on her side.

She also reminded Yumia of four years old Remia. Out of all children, Remia was the calmest and least troublesome kid.

Celia nodded, hugging her plushie, "Yes! I am daddy's daughter and princess!"

As Alex and others often told Celia that she was their princess, the lovely fluff of the Deathwill Castle, Celia naturally would introduce herself as such.

Yumia laughed, her expression melting as she squatted to pat the blue-haired dullahan's hair. And as Celia didn't shy away but confidently took the attention, Yumia's heart turned sweeter, listening to adorable little dullahan's noises.

Ubo and Bo woofed, happy for their friend.

"It makes me your grandma," Yumia whispered before picking up the little creature, holding her dearly.

"Grandma?" Celia's eyes sparkled again as she couldn't remember her grandma. But with so many aunts, she was bound to have much more, right?

One of them finally had arrived before her!

Celia extended her hands to Yumia's cheeks, trying to pinch her, "Has grandma come for me?"

"Of course. I have been invited here to see a whole castle, including you. Could you show me around the castle?" Yumia cuddled with the little creature, making her happier each second as Celia was so joyful to have a grandma.

She invited Yumia for a tea party, telling her she would prepare it herself. She also said that she had an angelic voice, adding that those were her daddy's words! As her father would never lie to her, that was the truth!

"I will show grandma the castle after a tea party!" Celia stressed those words with big eyes hovering over the queen's face, for she didn't want to miss the tea party with grandma, her new friend.

Yumia kept grinning while having an enjoyable conversation with the little dullahan princess, "I understand, princess."

Naturally, Alex and Remia were already behind her, listening to them for some time.

"Celia stole the queen," Alex laughed, holding Remia's hand tightly.

She nodded with a bright smile, gazing at her mother and Celia going to the room to have a tea party, "Celia and her joy are the best cure to mother's loneliness.

I hope they will always find time for each other," Remia whispered, knowing that everyone would be able to forget their problems with Celia by their side.

The little dullahan was that adorable!

Alex nodded, taking his wife somewhere else, "Our main garden. Let's spend time here while we wait for grandma and her granddaughter."

Remia laughed, following her beloved's lead.

In a few minutes, the couple ended up in the main garden. It was in the middle of the castle, surrounded by beautiful nature with many flowers. The Crystallized Elven Heart had significantly boosted nature, too, adding its unique flavor.

Remia and Alex sat on one of many benches, sticking close. They were just a few hours after their first time, so Alex was in a mood to only think and hold Remia.

She also was the same, enjoying every second with him.

"Your birthday is coming, isn't it?" Remia asked while staring at the flowers, recalling Alex's conversation with his father.

Alex nodded, tightening his embrace, "I will just celebrate it with you girls, my closest friends, and… Olivia."

Although Alex didn't know whether Olivia would accept his invitation, she had been on his every birthday from the moment they started dating.

He wanted to have a talk with her, too, so perhaps, she would come, just to see her old friends and have some fun.

Perhaps, it was just wishful thinking. But Alex really wanted to see her.

Remia nodded, supporting her beloved, "You two are about to turn nineteen… If I didn't know your age, I wouldn't believe you are about to have nineteen birthday."

For their age, Olivia and Alex were more mature than others. Because of that, Remia hoped they would find the solution to their relationship.

Alex faintly smiled as he heard those words many times from different lips.

"I wonder what she's doing," Alex whispered, recalling Olivia's face.

Even though he was in a mood that he wanted to think only about Remia, his break up with Olivia had severely impacted his life and choices. She helped him significantly, but what was the price for it?

Alex felt bad, and he still lacked a proper answer.

But that wouldn't stop him from inviting Olivia to his birthday. He didn't care whether it was right. He just felt like texting her.

And that unknowingly would turn into quite an event, for Olivia's mindset had significantly changed as she learned more about the world.

What kind of a girl Olivia had become? Would Alex soon learn about her changes?
