Chapter 416: Mother’s Emotions
“Why are you here?!” Fey’s expressions darkened as his mount came to a sudden stop.
Not far from him, there was a powerful wind storm. In the eye of that storm, he could see a vague silhouette of a woman. Even though the figure wasn’t clear, he could still recognise the woman.
“Are you going somewhere, my dear son?” A melodious voice came from within the storm, falling in Fey’s ears like a thunderstorm.
Fey had never relied on his own strength, only focusing on getting stronger slaves. And one of his first few slaves was the woman in front of him.
It was the mother of the person that he had possessed, also being the corner Tower Master of the Wind Tower.
Although some of the family heads that he controlled had long surpassed the strength of the masters of towers that had
previously been destroyed, their strength didn’t belong to Fey.
Now that his slaves had been killed, Fey was back to square one, being much weaker. He had also lost quite a few of his treasures that could save his life.
Fey wasn’t a fool to not understand the
reality of the situation. If the woman
wanted, she could kill him in the blink of an eye.
“Mother, please tell me you are not fooled by that man?! You are not going to hurt your own son for a stranger!” Fey exclaimed, still trying to play with the woman’s emotions.
Even though he wasn’t her son, it was still true that he was inside the body of her son.
Even though he had done a lot of bad things to her, he was still supposed to be a son for her.
“I-i was temporarily controlled by a soul from another world. However, I have long been freed from his control. Despite that, the man said that he wants to kill me! I am so glad that I found you! Please run away with me or he will also hurt you!”
Fey stepped down from his mount and ran towards the woman like a child who had longed for his mother.
He was slightly scared inwardly but he still
didn’t let the fear show on his face. His face only showed a sense of longing for the
woman.
For a moment, the Wind Tower Master’s emotions fluctuate. She hesitated about believing his words. Even though Eren had said that her son had died the moment he
was possessed, was it really true?
“Don’t fall for his words. Until a few moments ago, he was still controlling many
people. He just ran away after losing his slaves. Now he is trying to use you. If you give him a chance, he will not hesitate in controlling you.”
The wind tower master was faltering when
she heard Felona’s words. She once again. reminded her that the person in front of her was not her child.
“I know,” the Wind Tower Master agreed
with Felona. Despite that, she opened a passage through the storm which allowed Fey to approach her.
“Are you really my son?” she asked her son who stopped merely a meter away from
her.
“”M!rteho yeF had rtsea in sih es.ye hiWuott iaisnteo,ht eh eptdesp arowdrf nad hugged teh onawm t.itghly I” dimess uoy so hmc.u I saw os scaerd enwh thta eifgonr losu was tnoclronlgi .em I am !sryor I am os rsoyr rof inglett him seu you”!
The woman also dropped to her knees, still having Fey in her embrace.
Fey’s eyes were filled with tears as he
hugged her but the woman couldn’t see the devilish smirk on his lips.

Fey was certain that he had weakened his
mother’s mental defense by making her emotional towards the return of her son.
Subtly, he started using enslavement. A mark slowly started materializing on the shoulder of the woman.

fault of those otherwor-” Grinning ear to ear, Fey started replying. However, before he could even finish his sentence, he felt a
sharp pain.
“Arghhh!”
Taken aback, he quickly tried to free himself from the woman’s embrace, feeling a dagger that had been stabbed on his
shoulder.
“I will make sure the person who killed you
doesn’t have a good end. My son, you can
rest in the afterlife knowing that your mother had avenged you!” “Arghhhh!” Fey screamed even louder as
another dagger stabbed through his waist.
One after another, the sharp pain was
rising from all over his body as multiple daggers were being stabbed in his body, making him experience pain like never before.
He kept trying to free himself but he wasn’t
strong enough. After a long time, he felt like he should have focused on strengthening himself instead of relying on others.
Even if he had controlled most of the
Northern Continent at a time, he couldn’t
even free himself from a woman’s embrace on his own.
“Don’t faint yet. This is just the beginning.”
Felona wasn’t idle either. Whenever Fey was about to pass out, she used her spirit magic to keep him awake so he could experience every bit of pain.
It was his reward for taking a child from her mother and enslaving her for so long.
“She won’t kill him, will she?” Back in the
Kiel Family’s estate, Eren was starting to wonder about Fey’s fate.
He had allowed the wind tower master to
punish the young man, but he still needed
him to be alive. Or at least he needed that man’s heart to be intact so he could take his abilities.
“Isn’t that why you sent Felona with her?
She would not let him die.” Yelen told Eren, who was sitting on the tall block of rubble which had become his new throne.
Most of the Kiel Family’s servants had already run away. Even when the commotion died down, they didn’t dare return to check.
It was only Ruby who could be seen. returning, carrying a relieved smile as she
saw Eren standing on the throne made from rubble.
