'It was stupid of the previous Eden to fight an awakener, when he wasn't even awakened.'
'Well, no one can control themselves, if someone insults their family, but still, listening to some harsh words can be hard. But it's still better than being dead, at least being alive presents you with the chance of revenge.'
'Not everyone can control their emotions, and he would have never thought of death, even if he lost, at least he would have been able to land some punches. That's what he would have thought.'
"Sigh~"
I sighed and shook my head.
But for you guys, there's one more mystery left, and that is why Amelia does not participate in sex in exchange for money.
So from the memories, Amelia one day told Eden and Aurelia why she doesn't like showing her body parts to any other people but her family. And the reason behind it is, her father, the previous baron, Laurence Ashglen, one day, after getting drunk, tried to force himself on her for sex. Even though she was not of the age. But her mother saved her from him.
Even though Amelia was saved, she was not very happy, because the sex her mother had gone through looked like torture, and after that, it started to happen whenever her father would get drunk. And this developed trauma in her. And why did Amelia's mother have to go through this? It was simple because she was sold to a baron.
As Amelia's mother was a commoner, even though beautiful, she was a commoner nonetheless. She was sold to a baron by her parents. She couldn't get a good life, but it didn't mean she wanted her daughter to go through the same, so whenever things like this happened again, she would save her.
Even though she did these things, she was also a human; she was not enjoying these treatments as they started to change rougher and rougher, just for the sake of her daughter, she endured these things. But it didn't mean that she was going to stay here always; she used to steal money from Baron whenever she got a chance, just enough so that he could not tell, and when the time came, both ran away from the baron's house. It was tough but not impossible.
In those times of running, Amelia met Leon and fell in love; even having sex with Leon was hard, because trauma doesn't just disappear. But they worked towards it together, and he became her one and only man.
During this period of time, Baron died in a fight against a Essent. But before his death, he didn't remove Amelia from his family, because she was very beautiful and could have been used for his rise to higher levels. And he was sure that he would find them. But, alas, he didn't.
Amelia's half-brother, the current Baron, Eric Ashglen, when he came into power, concluded them as innocent and didn't revoke Amelia's Nobility. He did try to have sex with her by giving money, but that was years after, during recent times. And he tried to have sex with her for fun only, so when she refused once, he didn't say anything and never again forced or coerced her.
When Amelia was pregnant with Aurelia, Leon got a job in Kohra, and they had to move there together. Even though she did have a tough childhood here, it didn't mean that Amelia wanted to live in her past always, so to move on from it, Amelia came back.
But Amelia's mother didn't want to come back, so she stayed in Leon's village with his mother.
Even though Amelia was hesitant to leave her, she did, after her mother told her that she should live her life, and she was okay here, as she could give company to Leon's mothers.
That was the life of Amelia Reeves, now my mother.
I couldn't help but think, even though this world was a free-use world, instead of decreasing people's desires. It resulted in twisting them more.
