"If you want to know, your proud and lovely son caused a bigger problem than everything he had done combined," he said his eyes ablaze.
"So?" Alexandria just crossed her arms, looking at him.
Seeing his wife's expression, which showed no care about the big trouble he had made, he decided to give her a bombshell.
"Your lovely and honest son just harassed the heiress of the Eriendel Family. Don't you know what this means?" he shouted.
His mother hearing this, especially the word 'harass'. narrowed her eyes. Alexander, on the other hand, had no recollection of this at all.
He tried to remember, but there seemed to be nothing in his memory. Maybe if he had seen her, he might remember.
"Did you really do it?" his mother asked, looking at him with inquiry.
When asked, he did not remember who this woman was and had no recollection of her at all.
So he shook his head, if he remembered, he would not lie.
"No, I don't remember," he said.
"Then that settles it," she said with a smile, but inwardly she was a little disappointed in her little boy for lying.
But as a mother, even if she was biased, she would protect him no matter what.
Carrying him for nine months in her womb and watching him grow with love, she could not let her son suffer.
"You dare lie in front of your mother and me!" a shout came, it was Ragnar who explosively mad.
"You've really taken it too far. Sebastian, go and lock him up for me for three days. No, one week. Wait, that's not enough. Make it fifteen days. That's right, fifteen days only in his room. This will teach him a lesson," he said, his eyes were burning with fire.
Hearing this, Alexandria was shocked, but before she could do anything, Sebastian was fast and pulled Alexander out of the room.
Seeing that her son was gone because of Sebastian's quick movements, Alexandria looked at her husband with a cold expression.
"You, you… are you really serious Ragnar? Fifteen days? Aren't you going too far?" she said, her eyes filled with coldness.
Seeing his wife's gaze made him very uncomfortable, but he needed to properly discipline his son.
If his father were to find out about this, the punishment might be expulsion from the family, since that old man already had enough of his son's shenanigans.
If he could not punish him, then he would have no excuse for the old man later on.
"It's needed Alexandria. Look at our son, he is causing trouble everywhere. If we continue being soft on him, what will happen if he grows older and is still causing trouble? That will be a bad future, not only for him, but for us as well," he explained with a sigh.
Hearing this, for the very first time his heart wavered. But she still shot him a glare and looked away.
"Alright then, but if you punish him like this again, I will not let you off," she said, threatening him.
"That depends honey," he said with a sigh while shaking his head.
"Hpmh, then if that it's going to be, for the next fifteen days you will sleep alone, and I will be sleeping in the guest room," she said as she left the room to visit her son.
Ragnar hearing this was stunned, now he really wanted to beat his son even more. He just punished his son in order to make him a good man, and now he was being punished for being a good father as well?
He could only slump in the chair as he put a hand on his face, "Hays, is there any way to put my son on the right path? If only that accident didn't happen when he was young, maybe he could have turned into a normal young man," he said, remembering the accident during one of their travels in the outskirts where bandits emerged.
He was not present at that time, only his wife and some guards, but that was enough to handle those lowly people.
But seeing them die and be killed traumatized him greatly, turning him into this kind of worthless person.
...
Back in his room, while being dragged through the air by Sebastian he looks like a balloon, he was gently placed inside and Sebastian looked at him deeply.
"Young master, you heard your father right? For your punishment, you need to stay here for 15 days without leaving," he said to him.
In reply, Alexander just stood there feeling bad inwardly since he had just transmigrated here and really wanted to have some family bonding with them.
"Okay Uncle Sebastian," he said, deciding to wait for now.
Hearing him say this, Sebastian froze for a moment but quickly returned to normal as he looked at him.
He was waiting for him to throw a tantrum, or even throw pillows and vases at him, but it did not happen, which made him wonder.
Especially after hearing the word 'uncle' memories seemed to flash back. He had only heard that word when the young master was still a child.
After that, he only called him servant or the dog of the house.
"Then I'll take my leave Young Master," he said as he went out, in the hallway, he saw the Madam.
"Madam, I… I…" he tried to find an explanation as Alexandria glanced at him.
"It's fine don't think about it," she smiled and went inside.
When Alexandria entered, she saw Alexander sitting on the bed. Alexander, who was trying to look for ways to pass the time, was suddenly disturbed when he saw her come in.
"Mom? Why are you here?" he asked as he saw her figure.
"Why not?" she said, looking at him with love.
Then without wasting any time, Alexander rushed toward his mother. He hugged her and buried his face in her chest.
This was not anything inappropriate. His mind was filled with longing for his mother, then tears slowly slid from his eyes as he muffled his voice.
"Mom, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused. This time, I'll try to be a good son for you and father," he said in a low voice.
Seeing her son being so clingy and emotional again, her already soft heart softened even more.
"Oh honey, causing trouble is normal at your age. As long as you can change even a little is what matters, but remember that in the end your mother will still love you no matter what," she said with a smile while patting his head.
Alexander then leaned back, putting some distance between himself and his mother since it was somewhat embarrassing.
Even back in his own world, he was not this open and clingy with his mother.
But the years of longing and regret kept spiraling up, ruining his focus. Outside the door, Sebastian, with his keen senses could hear them.
He was now starting to doubt if his young master had actually gained some enlightenment and understood all of his wrongs.
After spending time with his mother, slowly his emotions began to subside, and he kept holding her mother's arm afraid that this was all a dream and if he let go everything will disappear.
"Alright honey, I think this is enough talking for now. You must be tired after everything. Why don't you go to sleep and rest?" she said while poking his cheeks.
Since his chubby cheeks was fun to be played at.
"Okay mother, good night," he said, bidding his mother farewell.
Thinking that he really needed to rest since he needed some time to fully adapt to this kind of environment.
His mother, before leaving, squeezed his chubby cheeks again with a giggle, then left, fully satisfied from the mother and son bonding.
Left alone, Alexander lay down on the bed, wanting to sleep for a while because of the mental fatigue from absorbing the memories earlier, which was still not complete.
He could not even remember which girl he had harassed, based on what his father said. Closing his eyes, he decided to fall asleep.
As he did, he suddenly felt like he was being swallowed into a void.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself not in his room or back under the bridge, since he had thought that its maybe just a dream
As he wandered around the endless void, he began to wonder if this new life was just an illusion. As he tried to process this, a white wisp suddenly came toward him.
[#$@$@%^@!]
It spoke excitedly. He could feel that its voice was full of excitement, but he could not understand it.
Seeing his face which showed no understanding, the white wisp's expression began to show some disappointment.
It then slowly trembled and behind it, a white door appeared.
[#$@!*&#@$]
It spoke while circling around the door, signaling for him to enter. Even though Alexander could not understand its words, he understood its intention, which was for him to go inside.
He could feel no malice or danger from the white wisp, so he entered without a second thought, thinking that this might be the way out.
When he entered a blinding light caught his eyes slowly swallowing him, and then he passed out again in the so called dream.
