The Regressor's Younger Brother's Insanity-Chapter 42: My son has Brought a wife

The fight between Aether and the Soulborne ended in the afternoon.

By morning, the news had spread throughout the Empire.

It had also reached the Noctvain estate. And a particular someone was waiting for this news.

It was Cierra von Ophelia.

It had only been two days since Aether left, but she felt a deep, aching loneliness. She had even cried while sitting beside the lake at the Noctvain estate.

Aether’s mother comforted her since she had a soft spot for Cierra and loved her as if she were her own child.

Then Cierra heard the news that Aether had defeated the Soulborne and was headed toward the estate.

She was so happy that she jumped on her bed, sang songs, and expressed her excitement in many ways. Aether’s little sister, Lyra, also joined her and danced with her in the room.

Then both of them dressed prettily and headed to the main entrance square to greet Aether.

In Cierra’s hand was a paper, a note on what to do.

Cierra was a very shy girl. Although Aether and Cierra had known each other for many years, they hadn’t become lovey-dovey. So she was searching for a way to get over her shyness and get closer to Aether.

One day, she heard a knight say,

"I’m here because I have discipline. Every day I wake up and plan what to do in a list."

Inspired by the knight’s words, Cierra started making notes on what to do.

Her notes mainly focused on improving her relationship with Aether.

So today, she also had that "what to do" list. In short, she called it her love note.

[Love note]

Today’s plan,

1. When Aether comes, I’ll walk toward him elegantly.

2. I’ll then say, "Welcome home," just like a wife (blush! blush!).

3. After he gets a little rest, I’ll go to him and ask about his adventure.

Note: you need to steal his heart, Cierra. Kiss! Kiss!

This was what was written on the love note she was holding.

Just then Aether’s carriage appeared.

Cierra’s heart pounded wildly. Then she saw Aether slowly step out of the carriage.

Her heart began pounding even faster. She had done this once a long time ago, but she was still nervous.

"My, my. I can hear my sweet Cierra’s heartbeat." Aether’s mother, Seraphina von Noctvain, said in a teasing voice.

"No, my heart’s not beating that fast." Cierra pouted.

"Oh, then it’s fast but not that fast."

"Ugh."

"Heh heh." Aether’s mother laughed softly.

"So go. I know you plan to greet him first," Aether’s mother added.

"Huh... huh... ahh... umh..." Cierra stuttered, her face turning bright red. She quickly covered her face, but her ears and both hands were bright red too.

"Why are you blushing? You were so lonely yesterday and cried like a baby. Now he’s arrived, go and show your love."

"Mother-in-law... I never cried." she said while stomping on the ground.

Then Aether’s mother pushed her forward.

"Go, go. I’m cheering for you, daughter-in-law."

Cierra’s face turned even redder, but she ignored everything around her and walked toward Aether. Just as she was about to reach him, she stopped in surprise.

There was another girl with a beautiful and elegant presence.

That girl stepped out of the carriage and stood beside Aether.

In an instant, countless thoughts rushed through Cierra’s mind.

A sudden pain emerged in her chest. It was suffocating, and it was the first time she had ever experienced such pain.

Then, from behind her, a scream rang out

"My son has brought a wife! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!"

it was Aether’s mother.

Everyone turned to look at Aether’s mother.

They all had the same thought.

Everyone then turned their gaze toward Cierra in pity.

People began murmuring here and there.

"I knew he wouldn’t marry young lady Cierra. Young master Aether is rather cold toward her."

"I thought he was just like his father, cold and uninterested in love and such. But to think he’s this big of a player... wow."

"Young lord Aether is my idol. I also want to be like him."

"He is the peak of male fantasy."

As they were lost in their own fantasies,

Aether stepped forward and said, "Mother, you’re misunderstanding, she is not my wife or anything."

He felt a bit awkward.

"Let me introduce her to you, she is Thalia von Ravenfall, the youngest daughter of the Ravenfall family." Aether introducing her.

"It’s my pleasure to meet you all." Thalia said, slightly raising her dress as she bowed in etiquette.

Upon hearing her family’s name, everyone there was stunned.

"I came here for help, and I’m not in any weird relationship with Aether." Thalia said with an awkward expression.

Even after clearing things up, Aether’s mother was still lost in thought.

"My son, my own son, married... aahh."

Just then, Aether’s mother fainted and fell to the ground.

Cierra rushed to aid her. And pulled her into her arms.

Aether was also worried, so he rushed to his mother, but his sister, Lyra von Noctvain, stopped him and said in a cold voice,

"Stay away. You hurt both mother and sister Cierra."

Hearing his sweet, cute little sister express such coldness, Aether was shocked.

Meanwhile, other maid servants came and carried Aether’s mother inside.

In just a moment, the situation became a complete mess. Aether then looked at Thalia and expressed his annoyance.

Thalia also felt awkward. She had heard the Noctvain family was ruthless, but to see Aether’s mother act so foolishly, she was speechless.

Just then,

Aether’s triplet brothers came and simultaneously patted his shoulder, saying,

"As men, we know how you feel. So we approve your marriage."

"We approve your marriage."

"We approve your marriage."

They had a soft look in their eyes, as if they were accepting an animal as a human.

"..." Aether was speechless at their behavior.

Then the Highbro, Noctis von Noctvain, turned to Thalia and asked,

"Sister, do you have triplet sisters?" the Highbro asked Thalia.

Thalia replied without much thought, "No, I don’t. Why?"

"Aaah, we’re also looking for our destined love." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Destined love."

"Destined love."

"You brats." Aether raised his hand, and the triplets ran away smiling.

Seeing their bond, Thalia remembered her big brother.
