The queen just stared at me for a few seconds...

The atmosphere was so tense that the average person wouldn't be able to help but slump down. As the atmosphere around us grew tenser and tenser, I could see the fluctuation of emotions inside the queen's eyes, her calm, aloof, and cold personality earlier feels like it's slowly dissolving. Her eyes turned a little bit jittery, and tears formed at her eyes.

after a while, something happened that surprised me.

She walked towards me and suddenly wrapped her arms around me. Since I'm much more taller than her, she looked like a child clingin onto her older sibling.

"I'm glad... I'm glad that you're okay." She muttered as tears trickled down her face. When was the last time I felt this feeling? The feeling of a mother's love, many years have passed that I almost forgot this feeling. I could feel from her words and actions that her care for me is genuine.

I was about to return the hug, but hesitation took over my mind, and in the end, I decided against it. However, at that time, I didn't know that not returning the hug she gave me would awaken a terrifying being within her.

When the queen noticed my hesitation and unwillingness, that is when things took a turn for worse. And at that moment, I heard the people at the other side of the door count down

"5....4....3...2..1"

And right at the end of the count, it started...

"Eh? Why won't you return my hug? Oh, I know, it's because you've been living all these years without someone taking care of you, right? You're not used to this kind of thing, am I right? But now you don't need to worry, mama is here beside you now, I will give you aaallllll the love that you want and need, that's why, you don't need to hold back, you can let me spoil you foooreverrr. No? then is it the Hamor kingdom? Is it the trash nation that made you like these? What did those bastards do to you? aarrrrgghhhh!! The Elune kingdom should've been the one who annihilated that shitty nation! Don't worry my beloved child, I heard that some of the royalties of hamor kingdom survived, I will set off tomorrow to find them and bring them to you, after I catch them, you can decide what to do with them, now what is your decision? mama will support you whatever you choose to do with those garbage, after all you are one of my children, the most greatest existences of all. Mama loves all of you, I will destroy everything that goes against the wishes of my children, that's how much mama looooovvvees you. Oh, that's right, since we've been separated for more than 15 years, you can keep mama all to yourself for the next 1000 years, I'm sorry that I wasn't there to watch you grow up into the fine and handsome young man that you are now, that is ny greatest regret as your mother, I truly am not qualified to be the mother of someone as great as you, please forgive me, okay? If you want, I can give you endless wealth. AAAHHHHHHH just looking at you fills me with endless joy, happiness, and satisfaction that I can't help but cry, you really are the most beautiful creature I have ever met, no one in this world holds a candle to you, this tall height, those striking features, and the looks that can enslave every woman in this world... My beloved child really is the most perfect existence!! After dealing with the worms from hamor kingdom, I will immediately spread your greatness to every nations in the entirety of Greis. Even the Demon lords should bow before your greatness! This existence right in front of me is something that should be revered by everyone! I will make thousands of monuments and statues for you all over the 6 continents so that every creature will see just how great you are. Don't worry my child, with your mama here, I will make everything I just said come true, so just wait for me, okay? I will certainly make everyone your followers, that's why you can just sit back and relax while mama does all these menial works for you, mama won't let you suffer anymore hardships, you know what? ever since you disappeared years ago, I wasn't able to get a proper sleep, I always regret that I wasn't able to protect you back then, but now that you've come back, let me pamper you forever the ever, mama loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loves loooooovvveeeessssa you soooooo muuchhhh!!"

W-What in the hell is happening right now!? Right in front of me is an insane woman, spouting words that sends chills down to my spine!

And what's wrong with her eyes!? Why is the light disappearing from them!? What the hell!? I met my fair share of obsessive people, but not to this level!!

Is this one of those 'yandere' people that kagami often tells me about!? those insane people that has a psychopathic tendency!?

As I shouted to myself in my mind, the queen kept on rambling on and on about how much she loves me without any pause, it's like she never runs out of breathe.

"u-umm, please calm down a little bit" I said to her, in an attempt to calm this madness in front of me. I could even feel the people from the other side of the door trembling a little bit. It must be pretty hard for them, having to deal with this.

After a few more attempts on calming her down, I finally succeeded, the light slowly returned to her eyes and the creepy aura around her slowly dissipated.

"I apologize for showing you such an unsightly side of me, my child." she said to me in a proper voice as if the atrocity earlier didn't exist at all.

"O-oh, I don't mind it at all, it's just... a little bit surprising for me, that's all" I replied carefully, as to not trigger that scary side again.

"That matter aside... are the 6 of you done eavesdropping by now?" Asked the queen in a slightly cold tone of voice. The door slowly opened and six people with stiff smiles on their faces showed up, their bodies were slightly trembling.

"I-I-It looks like we've been found out huh?" said the King while stuttering.

They walked forward slowly and stood quietly side by side in front of the queen with their heads down. They slowly lifted their heads to slowly look at me, our eyes met and at that moment, a sense of solidarity formed between the 7 of us. 'RUN WHEN THE LIGHT DISAPPEARS'
