While Aster was enjoying his time with Lilia, back on the Rein family grounds on Ghaleria Kail was finishing his report when one of his trusted guards entered his room and spoke.
“Young master… your older brother arrived at the mansion of elder Kurt”.
Kail’s expression turned dark before he sighed, the elder Kurt Rein was the one dispatched by his father to be in charge of the Rein family on the Azure sky planet and so he was the strongest Rein cultivator here and of course he was one of the many elders that supported his brother for the patriarch position.
Kail was confused, his older brother was supposed to arrive in a couple of days for the birthday ceremony of Arthur Ghale so he didn’t understand what was going on.
“Do you know why did he arrived before?”, he asked to the guard.
“Yes, as the young master already know our Rein family is not exactly on good terms with the Asher nor the Kraft families, apparently your older brother wanted to buy a personalized weapon as a gift for the daughter of Arthur Ghale but for that he needed a high-grade material which the young miss of the Asher refused to sell so he is here to try his luck on the auction of tomorrow”.
Kail’s depressed expression changed to a happy one.
“That’s what he gets for trying to negotiate with that t-rex woman, hahaha he deserves it, you can leave I have some important matters to attend”.
After the guard left, Kail immediately took out the talisman Aster gave him and tried to contact him, it took a couple of minutes until he finally got an answer
——
Aster felt his talisman vibrating and he returned to the bench outside of the room with the excuse that he already stayed too much time inside and it will be bad if one employee came and caught them, normally he wouldn’t care about Kail but since he ordered him to not contact him besides the report he wanted unless there was an important notice, after a moment Kail’s voice could be heard.
“Boss, I’m sorry to bother you but there is something important I needed to tell you, it is related to the young miss Aria…”.
Aster’s face turned serious.
“Go ahead”.
Having received permission Kail proceeded to tell him the information he got from the guard.
“My older brother is here, boss might not know but Kray Rein is one of the two most insistent people that want to… marry the young miss, of course since boss is already in a relationship with her there is no way for him to succeed, but he is quite persistent so this time he came to the Azure sky planet with the intention of courting her on the birthday ceremony of her father”.
Aster was amused he knew Kail hated his older brother and that was one of the reasons he was so in a hurry to contact him, on the other hand some bastard was actually trying to get close to one of his girls so punishment was in order for that.
“This is actually quite interesting, try to get some information regarding his plans and there might be a reward for you later”.
Kail felt happy since he already had the information, after all no one would discard a good “subordinate”.
“Don’t worry boss, I already know what is his plan, he will attend the auction sponsored by the Kraft and Asher family to buy something as a gift, also probably the elder in charge of my Rein family on this planet will accompany him, a cultivator in the medium stage of the stellar constellation realm with a battle prowess that almost rival the peak stellar constellation realm”, Kail suddenly remembered something.
“In case boss doesn’t have a spot for the auction I can personally go and get one right now”.
Aster couldn’t help but think “enemies are bound to meet each other huh”.
“No need, I already have a VIP room reserved for the auction, it seems like that Kray or whatever had really bad luck as we will had met anyway but now things will be different, do you know on what room will he be?”.
Kail didn’t have that information but on any case, he was supposed to accompany his older brother also since he always treats him as a servant whenever he was around so he got a good idea.
“I don’t know the room, but I will also go with him to the auction so as soon as we get to our room, I will contact boss”.
Aster nodded.
“Fine… from now I will reform my previous order, aside from the information I asked you to gather, if there is anything related to Aria or my sister you must contact me immediately, understood?”.
“Yes boss”, answered Kail and the transmission ended, Aster saw that the door of the dressing room was slightly open and he spoke.
“Spying on your son’s conversations is not good mom”, he thought.
After a moment Lilia came out of the dressing room and she feigned innocence.
Since the incident with the assassin he decided to not kept secrets from his girls unless they were things hard to explain like Hyperion… or the twins but there was no inconvenient in explaining his mother what he heard from Kail, specially since he will need her help to return to Ghaleria tomorrow.
“It’s okay mom, that was the third son of the Rein family’s patriarch who is my subordinate, apparently one of the guys that has been pestering Aria before is going to do some kind of proposition on the birthday of uncle Arthur” Aster put on a smile before he continued “so I will have to teach him a lesson”.
Lilia saw her son’s threatening smile and she felt a bit jealous “humph being so protective towards that little girl when you should focus more on this beautiful mother of yours”.
Aster felt his mother’s emotions and he was amused by them “she is jealous how cute” he thought, in fact this was a good moment to solve a doubt he has been having for some time.
“Mom… is there any reason in particular as to why you tolerate Isaac’s behavior?”.
Lilia was genuinely surprised by her son’s question, with the pass of the years she learned to ignore the lustful gaze men usually direct at her, in Isaac’s case she knew the kind of thoughts he has when he sees her and that is why she used to beat him up from time to time but after Aster was born, she practically ignored him.
“Mm, not really darling it’s just that mommy has learned to ignore idiots like him”.
Aster nodded.
“That is a good thing… everyone can think whatever they want but his thoughts are written over his face whenever he sees you so he is the next after that Kray Rein”.
Lilia couldn’t help but smile.
“Seems like my dear son is quite possessive hehehe ♥”.
Aster was speechless “you are the least adequate person to say that” he thought, but he decided to follow the act.
“Of course, the only one who can be close with mom is me after all”.
Lilia blushed a bit, but she came out of her daze when she saw Alice and Aria coming back from the other stores.
Alice saw her mother’s blushed face and thought, “tsk, we just left them alone a couple of minutes and they already started flirting with each other, humph this stupid brother of mine seems to be forgetting that the reason for this training was for us to act lovey-dovey ♥”.
Aster saw the predatory look in his sister’s eyes and he internally sighed “like mother, like daughter I guess”.
