The gaming was quite exhausting, and he didn't have any strength for anything other than a bath! Of course, he listened to his mother, and most of the stuff was about what he was well aware of.

His brothers were too focused on their jobs. William was someone who had tried various relationships, but all ended with him giving up... Lately, he complained that women just thought about his looks and background.

Eva was overwhelmed by his words, and she ended up sharing stories about her young days.

"And now, he is like your other brothers," Eva shook her head.

Reylin just stared at her, then sighed, "Just throw them into the game's world."

"That might be the solution..." Eva pondered seriously about it, then she made excuses for each of her sons!

Both of them left Reylin's room.

In another room, Sebastian stood and waited for them to leave. Once he saw them, he flinched and raised his chin quite high! That man was too tense before Madam Crown, and he even stuttered while greeting them.

Reylin clicked his tongue, "Where's Hania?"

That maid worked here during the afternoon!

Sebastian moved closer to him in a penguin way. He leaned down and covered his lips while whispering, "She's fallen, Young Master. I think we will have her take a sleepover here... Right now, she is sleeping in a guest room. She giggles from time to time while sleeping, and her face is still red... And all she did was to handshake Young Master's mother."

Reylin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sebastian, "Close the door. If she wakes up and sees mother again, she might develop some health problems."

"Yes, Young Master!" Sebastian bowed and silently disappeared.

Reylin's mother took a seat by the table.

Presents filled the table as Reylin's family had sent them that day. They didn't expect Reylin to be in the house either, just like Madam Crown!

Eva brought all of them here, and Reylin would soon open them up.

For now, mother and son spent some time talking about family matters and other casual stuff.

At the end of the day, Crown Eva said, "Since my son has changed so much, I can believe that I will see our whole family during Christmas."

Reylin sighed, "A big party with all servants and workers is not for me. Do you really believe in me appearing here, mother?"

"How about we make a bet?" Eva said while imitating Lioness' speech from her stream.

It seemed like she saw that too!

For some reason, Reylin felt too bothered by that, and his eyes twitched, "Bet?"

"If you get a girlfriend before Christmas, you must visit our house. If you don't, then you will get this card from me," Eva took out a black card, and Reylin could imagine a lot of zeros on the account.

He had been using his family's money all the time, but it would be his personal money for the future!

He chuckled, "All I have to do is not get a girlfriend for two months. That's quite easy with how real the gaming world is."

Eva didn't respond to these words, but a wide smile spread on her face.

Reylin felt like there was some catch in that bet, but he couldn't think of it.

"Good night."

"Good night. See you at Christmas, Reylin."

At last, Eva left Reylin's house.

Her maid was waiting outside, and she couldn't stop herself from asking her mistress about the visit. It was the first time she saw Eva smiling after visiting Reylin with no trace of irritation or anger on her face!

To her maid's inquiry, Eva replied, "Mother can see more. Especially one that had a lot of admirers."

"..." The maid didn't understand, but she nodded and opened the car's doors, "Was today the first time you have been nothing but smiles with the young master?"

"If that was the case, then I would have been the worst mother," Eva replied.

"That's true... The young master coming to the world must've been a blissful day," The maid smiled brightly.

"With how easy he came out, I thought he would have been the nicest child. How wrong I was?" Eva chuckled

And the maid nearly choked on the laughter.

-

"Sebastian," Reylin called his butler after Eva left.

Sebastian promptly appeared next to him, then took a seat per his young master's order. Both of them sat in silence, then Reylin asked about the catch in the bet with his mother.

Sebastian gulped and said, "I don't know..."

"There has to be something we miss," Reylin was sure of it.

Both of them thought so profoundly that Hania's snoring made Sebastian flinch! He coughed and said, "I don't think Madam Crown believes that Yvonne will become Young Master's girlfriend in two months. Maybe she just wants to give you money for the gaming? Young master is known here, and nothing has topped The Red Sky yet."

"Yvonne... I must call her, I guess," Reylin said as he went to his room.

Once he took a seat, he called Yvonne through social media. She didn't reply first but called him back a few minutes later.

That was because one of her staff had told her about Reylin's call.

Yvonne soon appeared on the big screen, and her beautiful red eyes widened for Reylin. Her red hair was also let out free, as free as Reylin's flames in the game!

Reylin just stared at her beauty, and it didn't seem like he planned to talk with her.

Yvonne broke the silence, "Happy Birthday. I might be busy on that day, so here we go. Is that what you called me for, Reylin? Ah, perhaps? You expect some spicy presents from me?" She chuckled in her melodious voice.

"I will conquer you, Yvonne," Reylin said.

And though those words were surprising as Reylin never openly said it, Yvonne just smiled wider and replied, "You can always try. In a game, you are such a star that you developed a thought you can get me? That's one of the cutest things I've heard recently, you know?"

Reylin didn't throw any tantrums, and he just casually declared something. It was more surprising than it looked, but Yvonne didn't dare to show it. Inwardly, her heart trembled as she didn't like those words at all.

However, Reylin always went crazy around her, and it amused her, so she would be much more lenient for him. All those who had said similar words to her had long since regretted it, but for him, she would make him her servant both in-game and outside of it.

Yvonne leveraged Reylin's love toward flames and her looks that were that of a fire goddess.

Since Reylin didn't reply to her at all, Yvonne swayed on the chair, then bid farewell, "It must be quite late for you, Reylin. Good night and see you~~ A kiss from Big Sister for the best dreams!" She pursed her lips and sent a kiss, then the call ended.

Indeed, for Reylin, Yvonne was quite lenient already, and she even dared to joke around with nudes and kisses.

It was disappointing that Reylin didn't go mad, but the game must have changed him! She was sure of it after the words that utterly shocked her.

Regardless of how shocked Yvonne was, Reylin also had a different feeling. He gawked at the black screen, then said, "Why is this bitch so bland?"

He wouldn't even dare to call her Fire Goddess with how bland she looked for him!

And why did it happen?

Reylin thought, then said, "Fuck... Sebastian!"

His butler quickly stepped in and asked, "Yes?"

"Who do I love?" Reylin asked in a whisper.

Sebastian's eyes stretched to the limit, and he nearly stumbled despite standing!

"That... I don't know..." Sebastian said, biting his lips.

"If it's that Steel Melody, I am changing continents," Reylin said with his eyes closed.

Sebastian just knew a little about that lady, so he didn't comment at all. He let out a chuckle that disappeared mid-way after Reylin glared at him.

Reylin sighed, "Prepare a bath for me."

During a bath, Reylin thought about his gaming time. That was how he had changed and how he met many people. He thought of the girls he met, and he even thought that maybe Layla or Yuki were the ones that had made him feel love.

Even though that was a game world, it was so real that it sounded plausible.

He closed his eyes, "Whatever it is... I am not going to hold back once I find the cause." Even if it meant losing the bet, his mother had seen through him, and he wasn't a man who would hold back with his feelings.

It was quite a long day but a rewarding one, so Reylin spent more time in the bath and then slept loudly.

He slept for a long time because it was the weekend, and he also didn't plan to dive into the game but to visit Ferocious Bear!
