Kael quietly watched as his mother’s tears welled up, then gently licked the tears from her eyes.

‘My goodness, even tears.’

While it should be natural to feel heartache seeing his mother in distress, he also found a strange comfort knowing that these tears were because of him. The stiffening of her lower lip was an added bonus.

“Ka-Kael…”

In his mind, this woman was entirely responsible for how things had turned out. Still clinging to rotten threads and with pumpkin-colored eyes shining, calling out to him in such a pitiful manner, how could such a pure soul exist in this world?

‘The clergy is foolish too. The saint is right here, yet they’ve seated the wrong woman on the throne…’

His mother possessed a purity and integrity surpassing even the faithful clergy. Not even the saint representing the clergy could match her pristine character.

Ah, perhaps that was an unfair comparison from the start.

That woman was a deceptive temptress who spread her legs for any hero who came by.

Kael briefly scanned the empty air. Observing his surroundings with caution, he sensed no presence near the sparse forest. Beyond the large wall erected here lay the risk of encountering wild animals and monsters, so aside from the warriors of Bayoren, there would be no one venturing here.

‘Anyone can come, but it doesn’t matter.’

Indeed, Kael truly didn’t care. Even if someone dared to lay eyes disrespectfully on his mother’s nakedness, he would simply gouge their eyes out.

“Please, I dislike being outside.”

Despite blinking rapidly, her body shivering slightly was pitiful. Being a staunch advocate of propriety, she found outdoor affairs too unfamiliar and repulsive.

‘Hmm.’

The son, blessed with intelligence like his parents, pondered how his mother could be persuaded to open up outdoors.

No matter how superior an individual may be, Kael, being a male after all, harbored a desire to be his mate’s first. Unfortunately, since he wasn’t the first to penetrate her, he sought to fulfill this desire elsewhere, including the outdoor affair he planned this time with Darrin.

And if such an opportunity presented itself, he wouldn’t let it slip away.

Undoubtedly, his mother would be greatly upset at feeling deceived by her son. In such a state, if they engaged in forced outdoor intimacy, she might despise or recoil from him.

‘She seems to be enjoying tasting my manhood on her own…’

He didn’t want to miss the chance for the long-awaited outdoor affair.

His mother would likely detest the outdoor intimacy.

To find a compromise here…

“Mother.”

“…?”

At her son’s call, his mother’s eyes widened as she looked at him, fearing he might tease her again and scratch her chest.

Kael wanted to comfort his trembling mother, filled with disappointment and sorrow towards her son. While it was fine for her to be sad because of him, he also wished to see her smile. Lately, seeing only tears made things somewhat bitter, so he hoped she would show the latter side.

Kael gently tilted Darrin’s neck and kissed her lips again.

“Ugh!”

Darrin tried to resist opening her mouth while making a crying face, but as Kael softly explored her lips, it wasn’t easy for her to continue rejecting his advances. If he had been rough, she would have persisted in resisting.

She realized the nature of her son, who would turn hostile after being treated well and rejected.

In a short time, various disasters had been etched into the girl’s mind. Whether it was the upper or lower mouth, one had to reward when done well.

The beast’s lips, meeting the white lips, slowly parted. Soon after, the woman’s soft tongue shyly emerged to greet the man.

Kael forced out the woman’s red saliva, even sucking his own saliva and his mother’s. Darin unknowingly drank her son’s essence.

Releasing the lips that were eagerly sucking, the beast looked at the mother. The hand that gently swept her waist was now caressing her buttocks.

Surveying his mother’s body, the son pulled her into his arms. Leading her under a thick tree, he made her sit down and spread her legs.

Blushing, the woman instinctively tensed her thighs. Kael did not force this action, merely softly caressing the unyielding thighs.

“Mother, may I make a proposal?”

“…?”

Darin found it strange that her son suddenly attempted conversation instead of committing an outrage. However, the proposal he uttered was not entirely dismissible.

“If you open your heart a little as my lover, I will also treat you as a son.”

“…What?”

“As much as you treat me as a lover, I will treat you as a son. Let’s divide our time honestly and equally.”

Darin struggled to grasp Kael’s words, blinking in confusion. Treating each other as lovers during one period and as mother and son during another? This concept was not immediately clear.

Looking at her mother’s puzzled expression, Kael chuckled softly. It seemed he needed to explain once more. His mother had always patiently explained things when he was young and didn’t understand; surely this would be no different.

“During the time spent maintaining the relationship between mother and child, only the ‘mother’ relationship is valid. During the time spent maintaining the relationship between a woman and a man, only the ‘lover’ relationship is valid.”

Darin pondered her son’s words, trying to understand his intentions. Her quick-thinking mind swiftly grasped the concept.

Both wore unrequited love for each other. Darin saw Kael as a son, while Kael saw Darin as a woman.

– Kael appeals to elements that would be advantageous if they were in a romantic relationship.

– I appeal to elements that would be advantageous if we were in a mother-son relationship.

And in their allocated times, only one type of relationship must be maintained, with both parties accepting without objection.

It was a matter of who could better influence and persuade the other, and how they could win them over.

‘There’s no reason to refuse.’

Indeed, that was the case for Darin. With no power, if her son exerted force, she would have to maintain the ‘lover’ relationship all day long.

But being able to maintain the relationship between son and mother for half of that time? Darin’s focus was on persuading Kael and restoring their relationship to its original state, so there was no need for hesitation.

The only thing her son desired from her was one thing:

A submissive woman’s attitude.

It meant not pushing him away.

‘…If I just accept physically, there’s nothing I can’t do.’

Simply spreading her legs and embracing her son would suffice. No matter how intimate they became, Darin’s heart would never belong to Kael, her own flesh and blood.

After that, during the time of maintaining the mother-son relationship, she would be in control, so there was nothing for her to lose then.

The crimson-haired girl turned her head to look at my son. Illuminating the rusty red wall with a subtle smile, she seemed inscrutable in her emotions. Most of the time, it’s my son who ends up losing out, so why does she go this far?

“Do you truly love me…?”

Darin vigorously shook her head. Even if my son genuinely loved her, it wouldn’t change anything.

“Why is life like this…?”

As she seized the opportunity, a sense of melancholy crept in. Offering herself willingly to men was a practice she had carried out for 23 years. It wasn’t difficult now. But precisely because of that, it pained her deeply.

“Who was I doing this for all these 23 years…?”

She realized that every time she accepted her husband, he would treat their children well. There were times when she coerced him into intimacy under the pretext of Kyle’s academy enrollment.

She considered herself a hypocrite. A woman who opened her legs for a husband she didn’t love for the sake of her son and daughter. Now, in order to reclaim her son, she had to offer herself to him, a lecherous father.

“I only did it because I liked Kyle…”

Out of love for her son, knowing no one else but him. That’s how she had lived. Only now did she consider it bearable. Why had life taken such a turn? Would Kyle understand my heart? No, he wouldn’t. If he did, he wouldn’t have done this to me.

Resentment towards her son was wrong. She, who wanted to be a good parent, couldn’t deny the resentment bubbling up towards her son.

But at this moment, she couldn’t control the resentment emanating from her son.

There might not be any other solution, so she had to accept even this with resignation.

– Sigh.

Until a moment ago, the woman, who had been tensing up, began to relax her thighs. Sitting in her son’s lap, spreading her legs wide open and sitting astride was truly audacious.

“…Hah!”

As soon as permission was tacitly given, the hand that forcefully dug into my chest felt repugnant.

“Huff…”

Immediately delving into her underwear and fingering the moist crevice was disgusting.

Lastly, there was a worry that her son might not just be saying these things. But as always, she had no choice in the matter.

What gave her some comfort was that her son was exceptionally skilled in sex.

Should she really consider that fortunate?

“I don’t know.”

Thinking about it would only give her a headache.

So, the hypocritical wife simply closed her eyes.
