"Vaan Astra Vesta."

Christopher, no, Vaan spoke the name that instinctively came into his mind.

"And do you know who I am?" Astra questioned.

"You are my mother, Astra Elysia Vesta," Vaan replied out of instinct again. He couldn't understand how he was answering these questions, he just felt his answers were correct.

"And your father's name?" Astra questioned.

"…" Vaan turned silent.

For some reason, no answer came to his mind.

Astra frowned,

"Do you remember anyone else, your grandfather, grandmother, any of your siblings, uncle, or aunts?"

Vaan, however, couldn't answer.

"I do not remember anything else, Mother." He replied as he looked into his mother's eyes.

Astra started thinking.

Honestly, a selfish part of her was happy that her child only remembered her, however, that was only a small part, she was actually worried.

How did this happen?

She couldn't understand it.

When Vaan was injured because of those 5, she had personally checked his condition, he was hurt, but it wasn't something that would make him lose his memories. Although she didn't talk with him because he was unconscious, she still sent a few people to keep an eye on him, their report didn't mention something like this either.

Then how did it happen?

How did Vaan lose his memories?

Astra's mind started thinking of different possibilities, however, soon, she calmed herself down.

The most important thing right now was to keep Vaan calm, if he takes any form of stress, things might get worse.

"Alright, don't worry. I will call the Healers soon, they will help you regain your memories.

You can go now, do you remember where your room is? Or should I send a servant with you?"

Astra questioned.

"Mother…" Suddenly, Vaan called out.

"What is it?"

"I… I want to stay here with you for a while… is that possible?"

Astra's expression changed.

When she finally registered what Vaan said, she reacted,

"O-Of course! Why are you even asking for permission? It is your mother's room! You can stay here for as long as you want!

Do you feel hungry? I haven't tried cooking for a while, how about I make the food with my own hands? Would you like to eat it?"

Astra questioned.

"I am not hungry, Mother," Vaan replied.

"I-It doesn't have to be my cooking, I can ask your favorite chef to make it as well."

"That's not it Mother, no food can be better than mother's food. I am just not hungry right now. Although… I do have another request."

"What is it?" Astra questioned.

"Please excuse my rudeness…" Suddenly, Vaan stood up.

He walked next to Astra and sat next to her.

For some reason, Astra felt nervous, it was funny how a mother was being nervous around her child, it was apparent what kind of relationship the two had before 'Vaan' transmigrated into his current body.

Slowly, Vaan placed his head on Astra's lap, he was uncomfortable, however, the moment he placed his head on his mother's lap, extreme comfort washed over his body and he involuntarily closed his eyes,

"I… I wish to stay like this for a while…"

He spoke.

"V-Vaan! You are not a child anymore!" Astra complained.

Even though she said that, she didn't make a single move to show her resistance, heck, she even adjusted her legs so Vaan would be more comfortable.

Vaan opened his eyes to look at her mother's face, then, with a warm smile on his face, he replied,

"I know… I just wished I did this more often…"

Hearing those words, Astra froze.

That expression on Vaan's face…

The pure love in those eyes filled her heart with immense happiness but at the same time, that expression stung. It didn't look like an expression a 20-year-old man would make, those eyes… it felt like they were of someone who had lost everything but finally found something that soothed his heart.

Astra's hand moved on its own and she started ruffling Vaan's hair.

A content smile appeared on Vaan's face as he closed his eyes again. His breathing stabilized, the sense of relief he felt was so overwhelming that he felt like he would immediately fall asleep.

However, Vaan was scared of falling asleep.

He felt like if he fell asleep, he would wake up and everything he experienced would just turn out to be a dream.

Therefore, to keep himself awake, he decided to talk to his mother.

"Mother."

"Hmm?"

"That butler…"

"You created quite a mess there."

"I… I apologize… I failed to control my anger."

"To think you would hit Aldric." Astra chuckled.

Vaan frowned,

"You… don't seem angry, mother."

"Would it be wrong to say that he deserved it? Though you did go a little too far." Astra smiled.

Hearing Astra's reply, Vaan frowned.

He forgot about it when he saw his mother, however, now that they were on this topic, his previous question popped up in his head.

"Mother, the other servants called me Young Master, does that mean the father is the head of this place?"

"No." Astra shook her head.

"Then is it some other relative, Uncle? Or Grandfather maybe?"

"It is me." Astra smiled.

"Hm?"

"The Head of one of the strongest families in the world, the Vesta Family, Astra Elysia Vesta." Astra introduced herself with a proud look on her face.

Vaan's expression changed.

Even though Astra was still smiling, there was a proud, confident, composed, and authoritative air around her. Vaan had never felt this type of aura from his mother in his previous life.

Vaan realized it, this woman, she may look gentle and kind like his mother, but, she was no normal person.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you surprised?" Astra questioned with a gentle smile on her face.

"I am." Vaan smiled back.

Astra chuckled as she gently flicked Vaan's forehead.

"But mother…"

Suddenly, Vaan's expression changed,

"That butler, he was quite rude to me, the child of the head of this house, how is that possible? Does he have some kind of dirt on us?"

Was his mother being blackmailed or something?

Just thinking about that possibility, the Gangster that Vaan had buried inside the moment he saw his mother, emerged again.

"And I heard that I was beaten up by 5 men as well. Aren't I a Young Master of the Vesta Family, how was I beaten up by some random thugs?

Mother, is there something wrong?"

Vaan questioned with a serious look on his face.

Seeing the look in her son's eyes, Astra was taken aback.

She observed Vaan's face for a while, different expressions formed on her face and a minute later, she finally questioned back,

"Do you really want to know about it?"
