Transmigrated: Rise of a King

Chapter 32

Agnes watched with wide eyes as she saw her son riding a wyvern out of all things into the garden. The wyvern landed softly on the ground before Lucas got off of it and patted it as the wyvern growled in acknowledgement. Lucas smiled at the action before he turned and walked towards his mother who was standing at the doorstep.

The carriage in which Aslaug and Kriemhild were traveling had also reached the doorsteps as they got out of it and looked at the woman before at him as they connected the dots.

"Hey mom, looks like I'm back." Lucas said with a smile on his face.

"Oh my son! I'm so glad!" Agnes said with relief as she hugged him tightly as he returned it.

They stayed like that for a few seconds before she stopped and then checked him body while he laughed a bit at how she was acting, all the while Aslaug, Kriemhild and some of the servants were watching the interaction between the mother and son.

"I heard about what you did. You have some nerve hiding your servant and dragon from your parents." Agnes said as she gave him a reprimanding look.

"Sorry mom, but I didn't want this to be that widely known. And I only brought out Falkor because the situation demanded it." Lucas said to her with a smile on his face.

"Well, I can do anything about it now. So, how about you introduce him to me alongside these two." Agnes said as she looked at the wyvern before at the two women.

"Ah yes, these two are Aslaug and Kriemhild. Aslaug is my subordinate who had made an oath with me and Kriemhild is a soldier whom I had decided to take under my wing. As for Falkor, he is a wyvern whom I had raised for a long time." Lucas said to her with a smile.

"I see, I see." Agnes said as she looked at the Falkor before looking at the two women.

Agnes tilted her head in confusion when she saw that Aslaug is still in her armor which Lucas also noticed.

"I think we should get in before removing her armor." Lucas said to his mother as she looked at him before she nodded.

"Alright, we can talk after getting inside our home. As for the wyvern, Lucas be a dear and make sure that it won't cause any problems before coming inside." Agnes said to him with a smile.

"Alright. You two get inside and behave. I'll go and give some orders to Falkor before coming inside." Lucas said as both warriors nodded to him.

Then Aslaug and Kriemhild walked inside the mansion as they followed after Agnes as the mistress of the Larsen household led them into a room. She went and sat on a couch elegantly before gesturing for them to sit on the couch opposite to her.

Both Aslaug and Kriemhild looked around the room and saw how lavish it is and it seemed to exude an air of nobility to those who saw it. Aslaug sat with her armour while Kriemhild and Agnes looked at her.

"Now then, do you two want tea?" Agnes asked them with a smile.

"Yes." Both of them said in unison.

"Good. You heard them, bring us three cups of tea." Agnes said to the maid who was standing at the door.

"Right away milady." The maid said as she bowed before she walked out of the room, leaving the three alone.

Agnes smiled when the maid left before she looked at the two women in front of her, even though she couldn't see the face of Aslaug.

"Now then..." Agnes said as she smiled at them.

But then the two women felt an invisible pressure on them which caused them to become wide eyed. It wasn't magical as they didn't feel any physical force push down on their bodies. Rather, it was more on the side of instinct as they could feel a pressure on them. Said pressure was something they realised was coming from the lady of the house sitting right in front of them.

'What. What in Hel is this?' Aslaug thought to herself in shock as she felt the pressure emanating from the woman in front of her.

'What in Odin's beard is this pressure!? And she is not even using any magic. It's my instincts that are allowing me to feel this pressure from her.' Kriemhild thought to herself in shock as she looked at the woman.

"Now girls, from how my son has talked about you I know that he trusts you two so I won't say much about that. However..." Agnes said before she narrowed her eyes.

The two girls felt the pressure on them increasing as they looked at the woman.

"If you do anything to break the trust my son placed in you. And if I learn that you have done something to hurt him. I will make sure that you are thoroughly punished for it." Agnes said to them with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

For some reason, Aslaug felt a danger from this woman. She didn't feel that the woman in front of her could defeat her in battle, there was hardly anything that she had seen to attest to that. But due to the sudden pressure that she is feeling right now, she felt that the woman in front of her is one of the most dangerous people she has ever known.

As for Kriemhild, she was flabbergast at the pressure that she was experiencing due to his woman in front of her. She didn't think that she would feel something like this from Lucas' mother out of all things as she looked at the woman.

"Is that understood?" Agnes asked them with a serious face.

Aslaug and Kriemhild nodded to her in response to her question. And just like that, seemingly satisfied, the pressure on their bodies vanished as she looked at them with a warm smile on her face, completely different from what they were feeling mere seconds ago.

"Good. I hope that I can get to know you better in the future." Agnes said to them with a smile on her face.
