Chapter 30: Future Plans
Chapter 30: Future Plans
2 hours later Thea woke up again, she wasn't tired when she had gone to bed, but she didn't have anything to do, so sleeping seemed like the best thing to do. Now full of energy she sat up in the bed and looked to her side where her mother was sleeping.
Lily was laid on the bed and had a blissful expression, Thea had realized earlier, that what she had done, was a little too much. Feeling responsible, Thea got out of bed and went to the kitchen.
She was planning to make some 'breakfast' in bed so she stated getting busy. Her cooking skills had improved quite a lot, even compared to her last life, they seemed much better. She could cook food that would fit in proper restaurants. She could finely dice an onion in 5 seconds, knew exactly when meat was perfectly cooked and knew when to add which spices.
An hour later, the breakfast was ready to be served, some sausages, pancakes, berries, porridge and bread. Thea let it cool down a bit, making it easier to eat and then brought it to her mother. She set the food down on the nightstand and climbed on the bed.
"Wake up, mommy." Thea whispered while hugging her mother.
"Good morning dear, I had the most wonderful dream." Lily said, acting like nothing had happened.
"Mommy, if you think what happened in the bath was a wonderful dream you had, it wasn't a dream." Thea said with a grin on her face, looking at her now blushing mother.
"I made you some breakfast, so you can get back some of the energy I made you lose." Thea said teasingly.

Lily, now redder than she had ever been, nodded and ate the food her daughter made her. When she was finished with the food, she gave some tips about how to improve the food even more and then hugged her daughter.
"Such a naughty, little girl I have." Lily said with a small blush.
"Like mother, like daughter." Thea answered in retaliation, hugging her mother back.
"That's I guess your right" She said, not even denying it. She then looked at Thea with a somewhat more stern expression and said, "Now I really need to give you the feedback I wanted to give you this morning, otherwise I'm going to forget it."
Thea nodded and got out of bed and stood by the door, inside the room, waiting for her mother. Lily then started getting out of bed and stood up, she then looked down and realized she wasn't wearing any clothes. She then blushed and put on a nightgown without undergarments, before heading to the door, where Thea was waiting, observing her mother.
Thea didn't understand why her mother blushed, they had both seen each other bare, plenty of times, there was little left of what Thea hadn't seen yet, so she questioned why her mother was acting like this. In the end she chose to ignore it and followed her to the couch.
Lily sat down and Thea sat on her lap. It had become a habit for Thea to practically always have skin contact with her mother, it never fazed either of them, how attached to each other they were but Lily had mentally changed a bit.
She composed herself and started explaining her point of view of yesterday's events. Thea who was listening intently, was surprised by the feedback she was hearing, her mother had complimented her many times during the feedback but she also gave some criticism.
Thea didn't take this negatively, instead she took it as a foundation for what she would need to work on.
At the end of the feedback, Lily said how she would personally use some of the skills Thea had, it ended up with the following ideas.
One: If she can liquidize her [Death Aura] she can also probably solidify it.
Two: She should utilize her [Weapon Talent], later in combination with her [Death Aura] when she can solidify it.
And three, probably the best idea her mother came up with: If her tentacles can move faster than she can, use the same effect when she is using the suit.
The first and last idea would need some testing but if they worked they would be a great asset. The second idea made Thea realize how stupid she was. She had been working on weaponizing her tentacles that she literally forgot about [Weapon Talent].
"I have decided." Lily said seriously before continuing. "I will give you permission to hunt twice a week. You will read up on magic theory and magic skills 3 days a week. 1 day a week you will learn cooking and noble etiquette from me, the last day will be a rest day."
"Thank you mommy but why noble etiquette?" Thea asked confused.
"Althea you are my daughter and I have also decided to send you to school when you turn 12, the schools in Duca vary greatly, there are schools for maids, nobles, commoners and the talented. Everyone of course wants to get into the school for talented children and most of those that do are nobles with resources that can help their children. Knowing you, you will easily get in, and if you want to hide you identity, you will need to work on your behavior so you don't get picked on." Lily said thoughtfully.
Thea, catching on, understood what her mother meant, Thea then nodded in agreement before hugging Lily. She was a little excited to go to school but was sad to leave her mother behind if she did go.
"Now let's choose which days we will allocate to each activity." Lily said excitedly. Before they spent some time choosing the order of activities. They ended up with the following order. The first two days of the week will be for hunting, then cooking and noble etiquette, the next three days are for reading and the last day for rest.
Having taken care of all the serious business they sat back in the sofa, cuddling. A few hours later they made some dinner together and ate a big meal before going to bed.
"For the next three days I will go around with you, showing where you can hunt and where not to go. Then on Monday we will start the scheduled routine." Lily said, wrapping Thea in her arms and legs while lying in bed.
"Alright." Thea answered, very excited for the next days to come. Filled with thoughts about her future she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
"Oh, how you have changed me, my sweet, sweet Althea." Lily said to the small girl she was holding in her arms before kissing her on her head before she herself dozed off.
