Mommy Villainess

Chapter 330: Forgiveness

"HOW'S Soleil?" Kalel asked Winchell while they were having tea in the tent near the residence where the survivors were being taken care of. The two of them were waiting for the women of the village to accompany them. They wanted to be considerate to the survivors and thus, they were being careful not to step foot in their residence without being accompanied by women of the village. "I know that she's not okay but I want to know her exact condition."

"She lost weight and she rarely smiles these days," Winchell said bluntly, then he sipped his tea. "Kalel, the only reason why I didn't kill you is that you're useful. You're helping me collect evidence to oust Auro Moonchester. And most of all" His eyes glowered menacingly. "You promised that you will untie Soleil's soul from the kid emperor's."

He sipped his tea while going over the events that transpired in the past few weeks.

After he talked to the Sky God in the temple, he was mourning the lost of their child alone in the mountain when Winchell appeared. They talked about the spell that binds Soleil's soul with Auro. The Red Phoenix almost killed him.

If he didn't say that he already knew how to undo the spell, Winchell would have already killed him.

After their confrontation, they found an injured woman in dire of help. That was when they found out about the disgusting experiment that Auro had been doing. With the help of the woman they helped, they were able to rescue the other ladies locked up in a basement cell at the foot of the mountain they were in during that time.

Then, they hid the survivors in Elisio.

Ever since then, he had been working with Winchell and the Sherwoods.

"You don't have to remind me, Winchell," he said sternly, then he put his teacup down on the table between them. "I will save Soleil whatever happens."

"You better do it fast, Black Serpent."

"I am doing my best to complete the spell that the Sky God taught me," he said. "It's a complicated spell. If I make a mistake, I might hurt Soleil so it would be better if I don't get near her for the meantime."

He had to endure even though he already wanted to return by his wife's side, especially after he found out that they lost their baby.

But he couldn't.

He wasn't making an excuse. The spell was really complicated. Moreover, despite his blood as a son of two gods, he wasn't born a mage. He could use ice and water Mana but that didn't mean he could easily do ancient spells.

But there wasn't anything that he wouldn't do for Soleil.

Please wait a little longer, Soleil.

"Kalel Nystrom."

"What?"

Winchell took a deep breath before he spoke again. "Soleil is going to declare war on Auro Moonchester soon."

Kalel's eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

SOLEIL smiled and clapped while watching the Keepers' sparring: Kelsi versus Maddox, and Braxton versus Jameson Crawford (the boy who says 'f*c' a little too much). Wong was the one in charge of supervising the sparring among his siblings.

She, on the other hand, was seated on a wooden chair in front of the tent that she had been using for the past few days.

"Good work, everyone," Soleil said, then she stood up. "You impress me."

Every single Keeper in front of her smiled, even Wong.

Her praises weren't empty words.

One Keeper was equivalent to at least a thousand non-Mana Users. Even though the empire beat their country when it comes to the numbers of knights that they had, she and her clan had the advantage because they could use fire Mana.

Now that the Keepers were here with her, her confidence just hit the roof.

We can win this war.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she realized that the Keepers (except Wong) were already standing close to her. Their eyes were even shining from happiness.

"Lady Soleil, please praise us again," Kelsi, the only female Keeper, pleaded with her hands clasped together. "Please, please, please."

"Shut the fuck up, Kelsi," Jameson Crawford, standing between the twins, snarled at Kelsi. "You didn't fucking do anything impressive to be fucking worthy of the Supreme's praise!"

"You don't deserve it as well, Jameson," Braxton scoffed. "You lost to me!"

Jameson glared at Braxton. "You just fucking got lucky!"

"I apologize for the noise, my lady," Maddox said in his gentle tone, then he held her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Thank you for praising us."

The other Keepers looked shocked by what Maddox did.

Then, the other three grabbed Maddox and they began to physically fight.

She was about to stop the Keepers when Wong swiftly wrapped his arm around her shoulders and took her away from the ramble. The four Keepers were too busy fighting (and yelling) to notice that Wong had already taken her away from them.

"I will discipline them, Master," Wong said politely as he pulled his arm away from her shoulders. Then, he stood in front of her and bowed. "Please enjoy your bath. I already secured the lake so it's safe now."

Ah, right.

It was her bath time.

Soleil smiled and patted Wong's head. "Thank you for being so dependable, Wong."

SOLEIL was just about to take her clothes off when she felt another presence with her. She quickly tightened her robe and turned around to confront the intruder. But as soon as she saw the face that greeted her, the fire that she summoned on her palm disappeared. "Lord Kalel"

Kalel looked gloomy even when he was smiling at her. "I'm sorry for suddenly leaving, Soleil."

That was enough to make her cry.

And remembered that she was supposed to be angry at him.

She was happy that he was back. But at the same time, the reminder that she lost their baby made her angry.

"Our baby is gone, Lord Kalel," she said angrily, her voice cracked from crying. "You left me alone to mourn. How could you do that to me? I thought you loved me."

Much to her surprise, tears silently fell from Kalel's sad golden eyes.

"I have no excuse, Soleil," he said in a cracked voice. "But please believe me when I say that I will stay by your side this time."

She couldn't stop sobbing now that her husband was crying with her. "Are you choosing me over Auro Moonchester now?"

"I will give you my brother's head in the war that you're going to declare on him," he said firmly. "I have heard about the awful things that he did to other people, Soleil. I can no longer believe that a person like Auro could still change for the better. I have to stop him now."

Despite everything, she was relieved to hear that.

"Are you sure about that, Lord Kalel?"

He nodded firmly. "Please accept me again, Soleil."

Those words were enough to melt her anger.

Before she knew it, she was already running towards Kalel who welcomed her in his cold and yet somehow warm embrace.

"I'm sorry, Soleil," Kalel whispered in her ear. "Thank you for giving me a chance."

Soleil nodded, then she hugged him tighter. "Don't leave me again, Lord Kalel."
