“Mother, what are you going to do today?” I asked my mother as I sat next to her in the living room. She was holding a cup in her hand, apparently, she was having tea.

“Nothing much, I intend to take care of some things for the village this morning, and in the afternoon we will start our class.” She replied and immediately took another sip of her tea.

This is my mother’s current life, just taking care of the village and also teaching Lisandra and me. Other people tried to enter our class, but she refused them all.

So she was teaching just the two of us.

“I see, won’t you wear yourself out like that?” I asked worried as she worked and taught almost all day, shouldn’t she take some time out to have fun? She could travel somewhere.

“Of course not, I’m a strong woman, you know?” She said as she smiled.

“I know you are strong, but I have never seen you having fun before.”

Since I was born she has been trying to take care of me and also take care of the village, even without knowing what she did exactly for the village, I knew she worked a lot. And even after Lari started taking care of me, she is still a very close mother who does everything for me.

“It’s true, I haven’t had fun in a while.” She said as she placed the cup on the table in front of her, after thinking for a while she continued: “But even if I’m not traveling or having fun, isn’t staying with my family well enough?”

“What a depressing phrase.”

“What did you say?” She looked angry but was smiling.

“I’m sorry to talk like that, but anyone needs to have fun, why don’t you travel with my dad? We can stay here with Lari.” I made a good proposal here, she was a responsible girl, so there would be no problem.

“It is not that simple, you already know that your father does not stay at home because of work, he needs to be traveling many times, so the obligation to take care of the village remains for me, since I am his wife, right?”

“So this is why the father travels so much, all because of his work?” During all these years he traveled many times, so I sometimes had to train my fencing on my own, but nowadays he is traveling even more.

“Hmm, normally he also needs to look for some things in other cities as this is a small village, and we don’t have to do big plantations or raise many animals. And of course, he needs to inform the nobility about the state of the village, among other things.”

Not satisfied, she continued.

“He is a busy man, and since no one in the village has strength similar to or greater than mine, I need to take care of the village and also help in emergencies. If we both traveled, the village would turn into chaos, or it would be attacked, do not you think?”

“I think so.”

She was absolutely right, if the two people responsible for the village traveled, in addition to the problems that would arise, perhaps somehow they would be punished for abandoning their work.

Since they have responsibility for this village, they need to keep it in order and also safe.

‘It looks like they won’t be able to have fun anytime soon. “But she is happy to live that way, so I have no problem keeping things the way they are.

But even so, she seemed happy that I had worried about her, mothers are all the same, aren’t they?

**A few days later**

“So daddy isn’t going to have dinner with us again?”

“I told you, he traveled this morning to the nearest town, maybe in two days he’ll be back.”

“I understand.”

I just observed that conversation between Lisandra and my mother, she seemed a little worried about my father, but I think she should have got used to it, he is always traveling.

Seeing this, I decided to cheer her up somehow: “Don’t worry, Lisandra, Daddy will be back in no time.” Even though I was four in the youngest, she seemed to trust me a lot, so she smiled and agreed with me, calming down soon after.

My mother was very surprised by this, but as it was not the first time, she stopped paying attention to us and continued to eat her food, since we were now at dinner time.

I looked to my side and Lari was standing a little further from the table, just watching us have dinner, she always did something like that, and I understand what she is doing, anywhere it is considered rude for an employee to sit at the dining table together with your master.

But my mom doesn’t care about this, I often convinced her to sit down with us and my mom didn’t care about that, in fact, she was very happy and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Then I will have to do this again.

“Lari, why don’t you sit with us? You must be hungry, right?”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Noah, I will eat afterward.”

“I already told you to stop calling me that, I don’t like being called that, and you know that.”

“Is that ..” She looked at my mom waiting for her to say something, but she kept eating quietly, but I realized that she was paying attention to our conversation.

“Don’t worry, just call me Noah and sit down with us, Mom won’t mind that, you’ve done this once, haven’t you?”

“Yes …” Even though she was a little reluctant about it, she finally gave up and sat down in the chair next to me and started to help herself, my mother remained silent, and Lari was still apprehensive about it, even though she did it before you still not used to it?

Don’t worry, Lari, you are like family to me, even if the mother said something, I would go against her ~~

I spoke softly so that only Lari would listen.

What are you saying? ~~

She blushed a little and answered me quietly, making sure my mom didn’t hear anything, she really is a cute girl, isn’t she? If it were in my old world I would surely have fallen in love with it.
