Okay so for those who have read the happy ending and cannot remember where the story splits off, this is right after Shureii leaves the Veldhuizen Kingdom on the night of the banquet where the princess would make her appearance. She hasn't met Alois, Einhardt, and Prince Antoine yet. This may carry on for a quite a few chapters..Enjoy~~

Three and a Half Years Later~

Shureii let out a smile when she felt a familiar warmth drape over her.

"Welcome home, Yuki."

At the age of 12, he had already hit the age for the first growth spurt (10-12) and was already taller than the petite Shureii. From the looks of it, he was going to be as tall as Louis when he was 14.

Feeling the tightening of his arms, she tilted her head to look up at him.

"What's wrong, Yuki?"

As expected, he stiffened slightly before stubbornly remaining silent and hugging her even tighter.

"Yuki."

He let out a sigh.

"Mother, you have too many suitors."

At his tired tone, Shureii couldn't help but chuckle softly. Turning around to face him, she tapped him on his cheek.

"You worry too much. They are just being kind. I'm sure it is just a passing interest. More importantly..."

Mockingly glaring at him, she pinched him on his cheek before letting him go.

"That gives you no right to threaten every male customer that comes through my door. Now stop tiring yourself out for needless reasons. I will prepare dinner soon."

Rubbing his sore cheek, Yuki watched as his mother made her way into the kitchen.

Although she was petite, she was by no means a child. Her beauty had become more profound as her body fully matured into that of a woman's. Not to mention, her kind, gentle demeanor and exceptional skills in various fields made her a very attractive woman to many of the opposite sex.

Recalling the moment when he had realized this at the early age of 10, before vowing to protect his vulnerable mother when he started to grow rapidly at the age of 11, Yuki couldn't suppress another sigh.

Mother, if only you knew...some admirers definitely have something more than just a "passing interest" in you...

His expression soured as he recalled the newest member of his mother's admirers.

He really was persistent...

Seeing Yuki's various expressions change from the reflection of her window, Shureii secretly smiled to herself.

Although her son was definitely more mature than others his age, it was little things like this that showed how he was still but a boy in som aspects. His expressions were so obvious on his face that she couldn't help but find him adorable.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Originally she had thought this rapid maturing was just be another aspect of the world she had been reincarnated into. However his athletic prowess and sharp intellect that had developed so quickly from his original adorable form had brought many compliments and admiring fans.

The puzzled Shureii then attributed his difference to his blood, which held remnants of the Ancients. He had never had to undergo any forceful transformations ever since Shureii had concocted a potion to help him control his form from the rare gem that she had obtained from the Avaemaborg Kingdom.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
Turning around, she was about to carry the food to the table when it was taken away from her hands.

"Let me do it, mother."

His act of helping her out was not unusual. What was unusual was the fact that he held it over her head.

Shureii felt her lips twitch with the urge to pout.

This is him flaunting his height to get back at me for not being more careful today huh...

Still she couldn't be angry at him completely because despite his over protective tendencies, she knew his actions had played a large part in ensuring no one would harass her.

His young age had done nothing to diminish the intimidation he emitted once he hit his growth spurt. Though obviously not as tall as the adults, his fast reflexes and cold eyes had downed more than a few men when it came to protecting her.

Never one to hold a grudge for long, especially when it concerned his beloved mother, Yuki had satisfied his annoyance with that one act and became the loving and helpful son once more, helping her clear the table and washing the dishes.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
"Goodnight, mother." He said, kissing her on her cheek as was customary ever since he had gotten used to having her as his mother.

"Goodnight, Yuki."

The cheeky grin he gave her before he left to enter his room filled her with warmth.

He's still my little Yuki. Shureii thought fondly as she entered her room.

Blowing out her candle, she settler under her warm covers.

Smelling the distinct scent of herbs (which were exceptionally rare) that had been given to her as a gift by one of the more wealthy patients, Shureii was hit with a sense of nostalgia as she was reminded of the palace.

It's already been three and a half years...

The place Ecahalt's crystal had transported them to was to the outskirts of a kingdom far from the Veldhuizen kingdom. Even so she had been worried and kept a relatively low profile while still making a living with her knowledge of herbs and medical treatment.

If not for her petite structure (which the appearance altering potion could not change as well as her beauty (also another fact she refused to admit)) she would pass as a peasant woman who was knowledgeable in medicine.

Yuki had gotten along well with the other children and quickly won the hearts of the womenfolk with his good manners and cute appearance. When he grew, he was lauded for his strength and intellect.

Shureii felt a smile unconsciously touch her lips as she thought of her son. The light in her eyes dimmed slightly as she fingered the ring she wore.

This mysterious ring that had come over with her to this world served as a reminder. A reminder of things that were to come. She still had yet to find out if her leaving the kingdom had alleviated whatever fate she had, but so far things had been going well. She could only hope it would continue to be so.

Feeling herself drift off to sleep, she comforted herself with one last thought.

At least Yuki can now take care of himself...
