"Mr. Mammon, I have something I want to ask you."
After a brief chat, Lille calmed down and hesitated before speaking.
"It's too serious to ask for advice. Please speak, Miss Lille."
Mammon is still teasing little Nebby, little Nebby is really cute.
"Well, I have a friend."
But apparently, Lille still had some trouble saying it, so she used the classic 'I have a friend'.
Mammon chuckled, but didn't expose the girl's meager self-esteem.
"She originally had a perfect family, with a caring father, a gentle mother, and a brother who loved her very much."
Lille lowered her head, her feet swinging unconsciously, and her memories returned to the past.
How happy she was at that time.
"But there was an accident and her father disappeared. And it was from that time that her gentle mother gradually changed."
"She began to not care about her children's feelings, but became cold and indifferent, not considering her children's thoughts. She became extremely harsh and scary."
Lille's voice became lower and lower. Yes, she was like that now.
She was afraid of Lusamine, terrified of Lusamine, and even dared not to see Lusamine.
Because she knew that her mother had changed and become extremely unfamiliar.
"And she wanted to do something very dangerous. Her children finally couldn't stand it anymore and fled from that cold big house."
"Mr. Mammon, do you think this is correct?"
Lille is very confused now. She doesn't know whether her action of escaping from the Aether Paradise with Little Nebby is right.
"It's a family dispute." Mammon pretended to think.
"It's hard for outsiders to tell whether this behavior is correct. So, Miss Lille, let me ask you a question."
Mammon thought about it and replied.
"Does your friend think her mother still loves her?"
Lilia was stunned when she heard this, but then she realized sadly that she didn't know...
"I...she doesn't know. She doesn't know if her mother still loves her."
Lille's voice became softer and sadder, and her eyes began to turn slightly sore and red.
How sad it is, they are clearly the closest blood relatives, but she doesn't even know whether Lusamine loves her or not.
"The situation is already very serious."
Mammon looked at the sad and painful Lilia and sighed softly.
Lusamine is such a sinful woman.
Such a lovely Lille was forced by her to become a melancholy girl.
Never mind, I'll train Lusamine well tonight. Today, I'll let her wear black stockings with suspenders, and tie her hair into two ponytails so that she can call me daddy.
There's no way around it, Mammon just loves his 'darling daughter' so much.
"How should I put it, Miss Lille? If I were to ask myself, running away is not a good thing."
But this time, Mammon came to see Lille to help her resolve her emotional issues.
Lille still kept her head down and raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that Mammon would see her in such a miserable state.
But she listened to Mammon's words.
"No matter what, the bond between family members is not so easy to break. Let me tell you a story. In fact, my mother died when I was very young, and ten years ago, my younger brother also disappeared."
Mammon said in a calm tone.
"..." Lille paused. She didn't expect that Mammon, who looked so sunny, gentle and cheerful, actually came from a single-parent family.
"But my father never gave up looking for my brother, even though ten years have passed." Mammon said with emotion.
He traveled through time, but it would be more appropriate to say that he was reborn, since he traveled directly into the belly of his mother in this world.
But when he was three years old, his mother in this life died, and when he was six years old, his younger brother Silver disappeared.
Mammon, who is familiar with the plot, certainly guessed who kidnapped Silver, but what can he do even if he knows?
Tell Giovanni? Ask Giovanni to ask that old monster for the person?
Of course it is possible. Although Giovanni is ambitious and cold-blooded, his fatherly love for his children is very sincere and deep, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for it.
But telling Giovanni the truth would actually harm Giovanni.
There is no other reason, because the old monster in Johto is just too strong. He is the pinnacle trainer unprecedented in this world so far.
Well, unless there was a little monster in the Hisui area of this world.
"I'm sorry for reminding you of bad things." Lille felt very guilty.
"No, that's all in the past. Neither I nor my father are stuck in the bad memories of the past."
Mammon smiled.
"What I want to tell you, Miss Lilie, is that even though my brother has been missing for ten years, even though there has been no trace of him in the past ten years, my father still did not give up. This is the deep affection brought by the bond of family."
Mammon's gentle voice was so soft that it made the blonde girl look slightly dazed.
Mr. Mammon's father must be a very good and responsible man, right?
Mr. Mammon and Mr. Mammon's father are both so outstanding and strong.
Lilia thought so in her heart.
"Of course, my family's situation cannot represent everyone, but I believe that if they are really family members, then no matter what conflicts there are, they can be resolved."
"Let me ask you another question, Miss Lille. Has your friend ever had a heart-to-heart talk with her mother?"
"Communication?" Lille was startled.
"Yes, communicate without reservation, tell her mother your thoughts and feelings, and boldly express your feelings to her."
"I don't..."
Lilia pursed her lips and shared her true feelings with Lusamine. This kind of thing...
She really hadn't thought about it. She was a shy person by nature. She wasn't an introvert, but she was definitely not an extrovert either.
"Lack of communication is the main reason for conflicts in many families."
Mammon pointed out one of the sources of conflict in Lille's family.
Lusamine had indeed become twisted and sick over the years, but Lille and Gladion's inaction was also one of the reasons that contributed to Lusamine's 'evolution'.
After all, Lusamine did love Lille and Gladion, although this love was now more like a strong possessiveness and dominance.
Of course, Lille couldn't be blamed for Lusamine's change.
After all, Lillie and Gladion were just children before, and Lillie was shy and introverted, while Gladion was a taciturn person.
Expect them to open up to Lusamine and communicate? Without external pressure, that would be absolutely impossible.
"So that's how it is..." Lille suddenly understood and bit her lips in self-blame.
"Ms. Lilie, have you figured it out? If you need any help, I can help you because Lilie is so cute."
"Huh?" Lille's eyes widened cutely.
"After all, Miss Lille is a girl who can't hide her feelings. Her emotions are written all over her face. In fact, that 'friend' is Miss Lille herself, right?"
Mammon said with a smile, watching the girl's face begin to blush again.
"If you need help, you can ask me for help. I'm a very strong trainer."
