Irmine was sitting quietly on the chair while pressing both of her hands against her temples.
Oliver had already been gone for over an hour. She indeed felt worried, but knowing he was surrounded by powerful monsters helped calm her down slightly.
"Honey, are you alright?" Arnulf asked as he approached and handed her a cup of water.
"I don't know...do you think I'm a bad mother? Oliver must surely hate me right now." Irmine said as her eyes already watery.
"Hmmm... I don't think he would think that. He's a good son. We raised him with good manners and surrounded him with love." Arnulf replied calmly.
"However, I think it's better for us to reveal everything to him. Sooner or later, he will find out about it." Arnulf said seriously.
"Find out about what, Father?" Oliver suddenly asked as he entered through the door. His eyes were completely serious now.
"O-Oliver! You already returned?" Arnulf said in surprise. He had not even sensed Oliver approaching the house.
