"What do you mean by what does it matter?" Rudy raised his brow and said, "She is my mother. And I am her son. Don't you see how wrong and immoral it is?"
"Immoral? How exactly?"
"Come on. You are not seriously asking that, right? It's wrong on so many levels."
"Okay. Listen. You love her, right?"
"Well... yes..."
"You love her romantically, right?"
"Yeah."
"You love her as a woman, right?"
"Yes!"
"And you want to kiss her?"
"Hmm."
"And you want to fuck her?"
"I... imagined that..."
"Ehe~" Angelica licked her lips seductively and said, "Legally, it's questionable. Morally, it's disgusting. But personally, I like it~"
"That's because you are a pervert and a degenerate."
"Oh, my~" Angelica squirmed and said, "Don't praise me too much. You will make me blush."
"..." Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "I shouldn't have told you anything. I know you will make fun of me."
"I am not. Seriously. And I always expected something like this to happen. You might not have realized, but you had a thing for her, but I couldn't dare to say that."
"Nyxia said the same thing..." Rudy recalled. "Did I truly look at mom... like that?"
"Not as intense, but yes," Angelica nodded.
"Wow... so... what should I do?"
"Why are you asking me? And I already told you. Add her to your harem."
"No way..."
"Why? Are you afraid of something? Or is there anything that stops you from doing that?"
"Obviously."
"Who? Is it Joe? What can he do?"
"No. Not him. It's..."
"Oh, are you worried about what the world might think?"
"Not exactly."
"Since when did you start caring about what the world thinks? Perhaps, you are afraid of getting judged by the other harem members?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.
"Yeah. But I am more worried about what mom would think. We are finally on talking terms again, and if I try something funny... I am scared of being hated by her."
Rudy lay down on the bed and said, "I would rather have a normal relationship with her and stay with her for the rest of my life than try to make a move on her and get hated."
"You are the Lord. You are the harem Lord. Come on. You can make any girl fall for you. Why are you so afraid?"
"Well, the girl in question is my mother, and you don't know her well. But I will try to... make moves on her."
"How about you go now?" Angelica suggested with an innocent face.
"No. She is taking a bath right now."
"Then that's a golden opportunity! Dash inside and play dumb like you always do. Say 'I didn't know anyone was in there' or something."
"She mentioned in front of me that she is going to take a bath. That won't work. And just let her rest. I will think of plans later when I decide. It's still wrong."
Rudy touched his lips and sniffed his hands as he said, "Her lips were so juicy, and her boobs were so soft. She smelled nice too, and it was... otherworldly! I can't describe how excited I was!"
Angelica nodded and patted Rudy while saying, "You have finally become a man of culture. I am so proud of you."
"..."
"But you are still Mommy's Boy," she added with a grin.
Rudy sighed and said, "I don't think I can deny that now."
"Judging by what you told me. Are you sure it was an accident?" Angelica asked with a knowing look on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Your powers allow you to do anything you want. Perhaps, deep down, you wished for something like that to happen, and it happened," Angelica shrugged.
"That's not how my powers worked. For example, currently, I am wishing for the night, so I can go and gamble. But there will be night when the time comes. You can't say my powers did that. That was supposed to happen, so it happened."
"I know. But even if something happens, it doesn't just happen. It gets triggered by something. And that was your power. They triggered this incident."
"By that logic, it means that the gambling I won was because I wanted to win, and my powers helped me win," Rudy remarked.
"Super luck."
"I do not exactly deny your theory. It might be possible, but there is no solid proof. Still, I will experiment with this and confirm it," Rudy nodded in agreement.
"I go back to sleep." Angelica entered Rudy's body and said, 'Keep our emotions in control.'
Rudy sat at his desk and began doing the homework that Rize had given to all the students. When he was halfway through, he received a message from Alice asking about the same.
But instead of replying, he video called her.
[Hey....] Alice said, but her screen, or rather the camera, switched to the rear camera.
"Switch your camera. I can't see you."
[No...]
"Why not?"
[I look weird on video calls. The quality is not that good, and everything looks horrible. My nose looks big, and the--]
"Change it."
[Fine~!] Alice groaned.
Alice switched her camera to the front while saying, [Don't laugh.]
"Oh, come on. You look so pretty."
[What were you doing?]
"Nothing. Reading Rize's love letter," Rudy replied with a short scoff.
[Huh?]
"I am talking about the homework."
[Oh! I just finished it a few minutes ago.]
"How about you send me the answers so I can save my time?"
[No. Do it for yourself. But if you are having a problem solving the equations, you can let me know. I will help you.]
"To be honest, even if I don't do the homework, I don't think Rize would do anything to me."
[Oh, she will. She will punish you with all her heart's content.]
"That's a great idea!" Rudy suddenly exclaimed.
[What is...?] Confusion was visible on her face.
"I just have to get on Rize's nerves, so she punishes me!"
Alice had to take a minute to understand what Rudy was saying. She was worried something might have changed him in the vampire world, and he became a masochist.
