As he aged, my treasures progress sped up immeasurably. His skills in all forms of his education were so advahat I would say he could even take over the business as he was.
I even gave him small parts of the busio run, and in no time the growth they experienced was incredible. Whenever we would go to parties, all I would get was pliments on how well-behaved and mature my treasure was. Even at his young age, my treasure started to receive marriage offers from high nobility, it seems they smelled the greatness I have refined in him.
“Tusk, straighten up your posture, your sloug.”
“But Mommy I feel sick. All the people here are too much.”
“So what siess isn’t an excuse to back out of business meetings or social events, straighten up immediately. We ’t make a se at this ball.”
“I don’t think I ha.”
Grabbing my treasure's hands tightly, I say, “There is no I ’t ha, you’re a man, grow up and deal with whatever disfort you’re feeling immediately.”
“Oh dy Dush, how have you been.”
“Duke Hundot, I have been doing just fine.”
“Well, you must be, with that little prince you have esc you.”
Looking behind me I see Hundots face fill with shock, which causes me to turn my head around. On the floor behind me, I see my treasure lying on the ground with vomit ing out of his mouth.

Staring at me from the other side of the diable, I see my disappoirying to evade my enraged gaze. “You know what you did, yet you're just sitting here like you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Mommy, I am sorry.”
“Do you think sorry will cut it? The embarrassment I just faced it unparalleled, and all you had to do to help me avoid was keep it together but you couldn’t even do that.”
“I couldn’t hold it in.”
“I always make sure you eat the same food all the time to ensure proper nutrition, so how did you get so sick?”
Hearing my words, the disappoi freezes up. “Oh, so you are still trying to hide it but I know, you have been sneaking into the kit and have beeing the fearies there. Even though I specifically told you time and time again to stick to the meal pn I devised, but you obviously knew better in your infinite wisdom.”
“I am sorry mommy; I just never see things like that anymore and I wao eat some. I promise I won’t again.”
“I doubt that especially because I iionally hide those fearies in that room for you to see, I wao check if you loved me enough to follow my instrus but I was wrong.” Getting up I begin to walk out of the room.
Running over to me the disappoi grabs my hand and says, “Mommy do you love me?”
Swatting him away I say, “What do you think, YOU FAILURE!!!!”
With that, I walk out of the room and say, “I got to rearrange my training pn.”
From that day on, the already harsh training I put my treasure through increased in iy. No failure was allowed all throughout the day, and if he ever messed up even once I wouldn’t talk or look at him for three days.
My methods were showis since he started to desperately work harder. Children will really do anything for their parents' attention, especially when they feel like they lost it through their own as.
Still, as he aged, he started to slow down and showed i in other things. So I had to double down on my methods, anytime I would find him doing anything outside of work I would strike him.
Whenever he disobeyed, I struck him. Whenever he didn’t take in his lessons perfectly, I struck him, and whenever I sensed any form of dissent, I struck him.
Even if he would cry all I would say is, “I am doing this because I love you, this is harder ohan you, so please stop making this happen.”
Though there was one issue that no matter how much I struck him he wouldn’t budge on.
Throwing all my gssware off the table, I run up to the disappoi and with all the force I muster I strike him it to the ground. Getting up from my blow he says, “Mother I am sorry.”
“Don’t you see the tears in my eyes, don’t you see how you have hurt me.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, mother.”
“Then why do you keep talking to that girl, don’t you know how important marriage is for nobles.”
“But mother I believe we be happy together.”
Smag him again I say, “Low-born trash like her is only after your money, she just intends to trick you and be doh you.”
“She isn’t like that.”
Smag him again, I say, “Don’t you trust your mother? I have always been with you, I have always loved you no matter what, I have always had your best iions at heart, so why won’t you trust me?”
Falling to the ground with tears in my eyes I scream, “WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHING!!”
Running over to me, my son holds me in his arms, so I say, “Please promise you won’t leave me, because if you’re not in my life anymore it isn’t worth living,” while holding a piece of gss to my neck.
Grabbing my hand the disappoi says, “Mother don’t!!”
“Please Tusk I love you, I need you!!”
Looking at me for a sed Tusk tio hug me, and says, “I promise mom.”
What a truly wonderful son you are, I knew you would never leave me because from now until death you’re my little treasure.
Φ After dy Dush leaves the room, I walk in to see the young master. “Is everything alright Tusk.”
“Oh Surgoth, everything here is fine I am just ing up after my mom.”
Looking at the young master I see he has a bruise on his face so I run up to him and say, “Did she strike you again.”
“Yeah, but it was over nothing major I deserved it.”
“Young master this isn’t ok, what right does she have to hit you.”
“It is fiop being such a worry worth, they say w shortens your lifespan and I need you to live a long life. Oh yeah, by the way, have you heard that the queror of the earth got beaten up by a young girl, isn’t that crazy?”
“Young master, please we o talk.”
“Surgoth that remains me, I need you to get in tact with Mary and tell her I ’t see her again.”
“What the hell are you on about, aren’t you and Mary in love with each other?”
“I like her, but I don’t really think the feeling is mutual, and anyways I am sure she will find someone else she really is amazing.”
Gripping my hands so tight that blood starts to e out, so I say, “Did Dush ask you to do this?”
tinuing to pick up the mess Dush had created Tusk says, “Why would you think tha-.”
“ANSWER ME!”
Hearing my voice Tusk gets shocked, but after a moment he regains his pose and says, “Yeah she did but it is no big deal, it is just like when I gave up seeing my friends Adam and Grey, or when I gave up eating sweets, or when I gave up receiving pliments, or even when I gave up wearing the clothes I like, as long as mom is happy nothing else matters. So even if I cry or feel pain or wish my life will one day end, I will ignore all that and keep w for the sake of moms happiness.”
Hearing Tusk's words I ’t bring myself to say anything. So, I just my arms around him and give him a big hug
“Hey Surgoth, I ask you something.”
“Anything young master.”
Turning around and fag me the young master says, “Is love supposed to hurt so much because it doesn’t feel like this with Mary.”
Seeing his face I hug the young master tighter and say, “No it isn’t.”

Φ It is finally here the day of my son's ing-of-age ceremony, I have worked for this day for tless years, and it is happening today. “Elliot, I need you to double-check all the preparations.”
“Yes madam.”
“Tons of esteemed guests are ing tonight, so make sure to inform everyohat any problems today will result in them being relieved of duty.”
“My dy, isn’t that a bit too harsh?”
“I have been very clear that today o be sheer perfe, so there is no such thing as too harsh. If anyone makes a mistake today being fired is the least of their worries I promise you that. So go and make sure everyone uands this Elliot.”
“Yes, my dy.”
“Head maid, Sandra.”
“Yes, my dy.”
“Where is my son?”
“He should be getting ready right about now in his room.”
“I see, I am going to go over and che him then.”
Walking over to my son's room in my tight dress, I open the door and see a baren room; not only is Tusk missing but all of his stuff is gooo.
Immediately panic overtakes my body as I see the empty room, so I walk around throughout the room screaming, “TUSK WHERE ARE YOU!”
While I scream, I eventually see a note left on his desk. Pig it up I read the note.
I know this note is a bit malformed, but I couldn’t really think of what to say to you, so I decided to speak from the heart. You’re my favourite person in the world and from the bottom of my heart I love you, but I know you don’t feel the same about me.
I have heard lots of stories about you mom so I realize you weren’t always like this. Your strange behaviour started when I was born, so I think the only way for you to return to your former self is without me, so with lots of love goodbye forever mom.
After I read the note I scream to Sandra, “GO SEND A SEARCH PARTY OUT FOR TUSK RIGHT NOW.”
“Yes, my dy.”
While Sandra runs out of the room, I just sit down and look over the note. Why would Tusk do this, he knows how much I his ceremony, how much it mattered to me. Oh god, if we ’t find him what are people going to think, I will look like the biggest fool of the decade.
No not only that, if they find out he ran away they will question what kind of woman I am that my son would run away. My name would be ruined. “TUSK YOU FUG BASTARD!!”
After a little while, I hear Sandra e bad she tells me, “It seems Tusk left on a Zterytavis with Surgoth, they have been missing since earlier this m.”
“Then find them.”
“There is no way we do that my dy, they made sure t all the other Zterytavis so none of them take off.”
Hearing this I hold my hands against my head. “What am I going to do.” Looking at Sandra I say, “I am going to need you to cel this ball.”
“But what about all the people who are being brought here by Zterytavis.”
“When they arrive send them back, if they need some food give it to them. Go now.”
Before Sandra leaves the room, she asks me, “Are you ok my dy?”
“I am fine, just go.”
“Right.”
Sitting down with the note in my, I rip it to pieces in anger. When I calm down tears fall from my eyes and all I say is, “Please e back, Tusk.”
