Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 43: Ruth Breaks Down

In a side meeting hall, Ruth was sitting in the main seat looking down at the woman below her with her legs crossed and her foot bouncing up and down. Her fingers tapped the armrest in a rhythmic motion. "Why are you here?"

"Why!? That slut, tortured my daughter! Are you not going to stand up for your own family members?" Venessa yelled out. Her face was full of anger and the two veins in her forehead were also bulging out. 

"Oh? I heard your daughter threatened to kill my daughter in law and instead of killing the girl on the spot which is what I would have done, she took her to the training field and taught her a lesson. Your daughter's not dead so what are you here bitching about?" Ruth said, showing no concern over the situation. She felt that Sara got off light. If she were in Rei's shoes, she would have killed the girl for making such threats.

"You! You are siding with an outsider!? Sara, your niece, is now so traumatized she won't come out of her room. She is curled up into a ball in the corner of the room muttering something about demons!" Venessa couldn't believe her ears, this woman's own niece was now in such a state but this woman did not even care. 

"What does it have to do with me? She got what she deserved. Let me tell you right now. No one is allowed to bad mouth my daughter in law. Rei is the future wife of my son, who is the next head of the Ronstine family. You wish to let your daughter have all these delusions of having some kind of incestual relations with my son which will never happen. Unless my husband and I are dead, you can forget about your family rising up. Do you want to sow discord between us using your so called family ties? Dream on. I know what you are scheming and let me tell you now. You should give up. Because, if I see your face here one more time discrediting my daughter in law I will beat you just as bad as my Rei beat your daughter. You think what she did was scary. Wait until you see what I am capable of." Ruth stood up from her chair as she yelled.

"Mother?" I was sent to call Ruth since dinner was ready but I heard a bunch of yelling when I walked into the side meeting hall. What I saw was Ruth standing up with an angry expression as she glared at the woman in front of her.

"Rei? Dear, why are you here?" Ruth's expression quickly turned to a soft loving one once she saw me. This made me feel slightly warm inside. Aw Mothers are the best when expressing familial love. 

"It's you! The fucking bitch that tortured my daughter! I will kill you here and now!" The woman who spoke seemed to have lost it completely as she charged at me.

My eyes narrowed as I felt the killing intent coming off the woman. Ruth yelled out for the woman to stop but it was already too late. The woman amplified her legs with magic and charged right at me at an astonishing speed. But as I watched her approach I tilted my head to the side wondering what she was doing leaving herself so open, that even a fly could take her out if one flew into her face. Not really thinking too much about it, right as the woman was about to reach me I lifted my leg and smashed it into the woman's face instantly making her yell out in pain. It was only when I heard the woman yell out that I realized that I had used a little too much force as the woman flew back and slammed into the floor."Ahh Sorry, it was a reflex..."

*Pfft!*

"Haha! Venessa, look at you! Did you think my daughter was some pushover?" Ruth broke down laughing when she saw me kick Venessa in the face sending her flying. Although it was amusing, I really did only kick her on reflex.

"You! I will remember this!" Venessa yelled out holding her nose that was now bleeding non-stop. She ran out of the room making sure to give me a death glare as she passed by me.

"Ummm..." I looked at Ruth nervously. I was not sure if I was about to get in trouble or not.

"Why do you look like you are getting ready to be spanked? What you did just now was called for. She attacked you first so you Pfft Kicking Pfft... In the face Pfft Hahahaha! I can't hold it in! The look on her face as she flew through the air was priceless! Hahaha!" Ruth seemed to have lost it again.

"Mom?" I looked at Ruth who had tears in her eyes while laughing. Luckily it seemed I was not in trouble. But I could not really be blamed for my actions just now since that lady did charge at me with the intent to harm me or even worse, kill me. Now that I think about it. I have only been here a few days in this world and I have already killed countless people and have been almost killed myself many times. At first, it was killed or be killed when dealing with the kidnappers but now it just seems I am numb to the fact of killing. I am not so sure this is a good thing or not.

"Ahh! Rei sorry! Dinner must be ready right? Let's go." Ruth wiped the tears in her eyes and grabbed my hand leading me to the dining room. As I held her hand and felt the warmth from it, my heart felt warm again. In this life, I will be sure to protect this woman who treats me like her daughter. The same went for Cedric who gave me fatherly love. I will stand by their son's side as his wife and take care of them in their old age. This was a vow I silently made to myself.
