I like them big, do you? Chapter 167: Mother-in-law plans

Aria appeared in a mental sphere.

It was like a meeting with the soul! What she saw was the small version of The Lion King! His size was still similar to lions’ from Earth.

He exuded a prideful aura with his body, but those eyes gleamed with fatigue.

Lion King was exhausted from countless years of struggling against the abomination’s existence.

He turned around and pointed at the red miasma within its soul… “That’s the abomination’s consciousness. It’s nothing but a factor to erase all mana in our world. It wants to reset the world and start a new era.”

Lioness gazed into the lion’s eyes, then took a seat. 

She sat cross-legged on the ground, similar to her body outside, then asked, “Is the abomination strong enough to destroy the second layer and even the third one?”

“It is,” Lion King replied.

However, he suddenly remembered something interesting, however, “I heard a voice coming from the third layer. There’s an existence who laughed and looked forward to the abomination reaching the third layer.”

Lioness whispered, “The Ascended aren’t half-assed if they managed to seal that beast then… The same goes for us, even though time debilitated that monster.”

Aria inwardly added, ‘Even though it was Reylin and Maya’s doing too. Yuki helped us too…’

The Lion King sat down and rested his head on his paws. He kept sighing from time to time, then chose words his loyal servant wouldn’t believe in.

He said, “I fear my race has been enslaved as of now. I couldn’t bring myself to accept you since you dared to challenge my authority. However, in those whole continents, between you, the ascended, and Nerven Race, I am willing to cooperate with the Crimson Dragon.

If you want to become the Queen, you have to overcome my trials in this mental sphere. I will not ask you to defeat that red miasma, though. That can wait.”

Lioness smiled widely, “I like challenges, Mr. Lion King. Just throw everything at me.”

The Lion King nodded, “If you overcome all, you will become the Queen.”

“Don’t even think of going to work! Come back to me!” A familiar voice rang out in the Scarlet Flake Kingdom’s castle.

Most players, and all ladies, knew about this voice.

It was Crown Momma!

Miss Eva caught Layla, who tried to sneak out to practice with her skills and skill scrolls.

A silver-haired beauty grabbed Layla’s arm, then gently drew her back to her room.

In that room, Layla lay down on her bed and blankly stared at the ceiling, “E-Eva-“

“Mom!” Eva narrowed her eyes.

“Mom… I barely touched any mana scrolls this week!” Layla beseeched her in-law to let her work!

Alas, Eva shook her head, “It’s impossible to pull you away from those scrolls once you start making them. No one other than Reylin will be able to stop by then. And, I am not going to call my son!”

Layla bit her lips and closed her eyes sadly.

Well, her stomach was already big, and she would give birth in just two months. In the beginning, Layla could casually study and do her job. Still, Crown Momma no longer allowed her to do any work!

It was rest after rest!

Layla also was forced to drop her new favorite foods that came straight from the Earth’s cuisine! 

It was harsh, but she did for the little baby.

However, Layla couldn’t imagine anything terrible coming out from her doing her job. Shouldn’t it be helpful for the next Crown generation?

After all, Reylin was so close with flames!

Layla’s fire affinity rose so much just from being a mother of his bloodline! That was also why she chose to take a test and check whether she was pregnant.

And she was!

Crown Eva sighed, “Just two months, and you will be busier than ever! I will be here for you as that son will surely challenge more enemies. I wish all those Nerven people returned to their world already…”

In the beginning, Eva was overwhelmed. She was so happy that Reylin managed to get a lady pregnant.

She didn’t care whether he was just eighteen years old! He soon would be nineteen years old too, so who cared?

Besides, her sons disappointed her too much, and even the oldest didn’t show any signs of having a descendant.

That was why she didn’t care whether it was too young or not.

She would always be here to support them!

The problem was that this was a game world.

Fortunately, Crown Liam explained that there was a high chance the game world was a real one. It was so absurd, but Crown Eva didn’t care.

She was elated to hear that the little baby was real! She wholeheartedly believed the game world was real!

All problems coming from it would be solved by her family as Reylin swore to erase bad guys and help all earthlings who were in a coma.

His brothers assisted him as well.

Reylin’s partner was also much older than him, so it was great too. Reylin was mature already, and he seemed to become even more responsible now that he became king and father.

Age truly didn’t matter now.

Layla glanced to the side.

Her mother-in-law was already used to the mana and the new world’s stuff. She prepared tea in the blink of an eye.

It took Crown Eva some time to adjust to mana in the past.

She just decided to request Reylin to help her level up.

Now, Crown Eva was one of the highest-level players despite not having any skills. She just got more mana and stamina to be like a maid for Layla.

“Thank you, mom,” Layla blushed, then lifted her upper body.

She took a sip of tea, then questioned, “I hope mom will help me get accustomed to your world too.”

“You have my word, Layla,” Crown Eva grinned as she also yearned for that.

It wasn’t that bad to spend time with the mother-in-law.

It was awkward at first, and Crown Eva was also quite strict. But once these two sat down together like that, Eva and Layla found a common link as they talked about girly stuff.

Eva’s fashion sense was also out of this world.

If Layla wasn’t a grand mage and maniac, she would’ve genuinely enjoyed that relaxing time with her mother-in-law.

Eva winked at Layla, then whispered to her ear, “I told my husband to propose a new law that will allow Reylin to have many wives in our world. All of you will be able to legally marry him in our world.

Don’t tell Aria yet, okay?” Eva sneered.

Layla sneered as well, “Of course, I won’t tell anyone, mother-in-law.”

Crown Eva also met Emilia, who led one of the powerful fire forces that belonged to Reylin’s personal army.

There was also Maya!

Reylin had told his mother about her confession.

And his words were straightforward, “Maya will be Crown. I will make it happen without any other relationships crumbling.”

A good mother supported her son wholeheartedly.
