—------------------—
Although it was strange, it was only a fleeting thought.
The atmosphere in the mansion was very quiet at the moment. Lusamine placed the teacup on the tea table and looked at Lille with an indifferent yet complicated gaze.
"sit down."
Lille trembled slightly at the incomprehensible and majestic voice, but she still walked slowly to sit down opposite Lusamine.
However, because of her fear of Lusamine in her heart, Lille grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and did not dare to raise her head to look at Lusamine.
Time slipped away minute by minute, and Lusamine, who had been quietly waiting for Lille to speak, became increasingly cold in expression, her eyes filled with disappointment in Lille.
"Since you are willing to come back on your own initiative, you must have made up your mind, right? Then why are you so weak now?"
Lusamine's cold voice slowly sounded.
"It's really disappointing, Lille, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Lille's delicate body trembled, but she still didn't dare to look Lusamine in the eye.
"I love you so deeply. I have poured so much love into you." Lusamine's voice gradually became angry, and her pupils gradually lost their luster.
"But you actually betrayed me!!!"
Yes, that's what Lusamine thought.
She loved her children so deeply, but they, her closest family members, betrayed her.
Not only did he escape, but he also took away the important Type: Null and Cosmog! This is such an infuriating thing.
"No… that's not it…"
"My child who didn't accept my love and left me, Lille, you..."
"That's not the case!"
The girl's stubborn voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Lusamine's words.
Lusamine looked at Lillie in surprise. This was the first time that Lillie spoke to her so loudly, and also the first time that she refuted and interrupted her speech.
"Mother always talks to herself like this! Why did Mother become like this?"
Lille bit her lip and raised her head, her red eyes bravely looking into Lusamine's eyes.
"you..."
"It's clear that our mother was really kind before. My brother and I both loved her the most!"
Lusamine was stunned when she heard that, and stared at Lille blankly.
"But ever since Dad disappeared, Mother has changed. Why? She doesn't consider my and my brother's ideas. She just imposes her ideas on us without caring whether we are happy or not!"
"My beloved mother is definitely not like that!"
As if to vent, the girl used all her strength to shout out her inner voice.
Tears as big as beans rolled down from the corners of the girl's eyes.
"And mother is still doing such a dangerous thing. It's obviously how father disappeared, but mother still wants to do it."
"If...if mother also disappeared like father, then what should my brother and I do? We...we don't want to lose mother again...wuwu..."
As she spoke, Lille finally couldn't hold back her sobs and burst into tears.
These words really suppressed her heart for a long time, as if a mountain was pressing on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Seeing Lille burst into tears and reveal her true feelings, Lusamine lost her mind.
She had never thought that Lille's thoughts would be like this, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged up from her heart.
The atmosphere fell silent again for a moment, with only Lille's barely suppressed sobs being heard.
She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it and couldn't stop her tears.
At this moment, a warm palm stopped on her back, soothing her gently.
Lille opened her tearful eyes and what came into her sight was Lusamine, but at this moment Lusamine no longer had that cold expression, but was full of tenderness.
"My Lille, even though you've grown up, you're still a child after all."
The gentle voice from her mother made Lille's emotions surge again, and she threw herself into Lusamine's arms.
The mother in her memory finally came back.
"Mother!"
"Ah~ Mother is here. I'm sorry, Lilia, for making you suffer so much."
Lusamine hugged her daughter, and her guilt-filled voice reached Lille's ears.
Why didn't I pay attention to Lille's feelings before?
Lusamine hugged Lille lovingly, and for the first time reflected on whether her love for her children was correct.
Now that I think about it, because of my desire for the Ultra Beast, I seemed to have neglected my understanding of Lille.
Lusamine really loved her children, but she had never thought about understanding their thoughts before. She stubbornly believed that the children just had to listen to her.
However, Lille's confession this time also made her understand Lille's thoughts.
The mother and daughter reconciled and naturally had a lot to talk about, so they sat down on the sofa again.
Lille talked to Lusamine about her experiences after leaving the Aether Paradise. Lusamine listened carefully and expressed her own opinions from time to time.
The atmosphere was great for a while, and then...
"Mother, have you not given up on that plan yet?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lille took the initiative to muster up the courage to ask Lusamine.
"The Ultimate Hole?" Lusamine asked.
"Yes, mother, that is really too dangerous, could you please not..."
"Lillie, although mother would like to give you the answer you want, I can't lie to you." Lusamine sighed.
"We cannot give up the research on the Ultimate Hole."
"Why? You should know that Ultra Beasts are too dangerous." Lille was very anxious.
"Yes, but that's why we can't stop," Lusamine said solemnly.
Lilia was stunned.
"Lillie, researching the Ultra Hole is not just for me. The threat of Ultra Beasts is real for the entire Alola."
"Do you know why we in Alola have never established a Pokémon Alliance?"
Lille frowned. She understood what Lusamine meant. She had always been a very smart girl.
"Professor Kukui has been working hard to establish the Alola League, but it's all in vain because Alola's fundamental problems have not been solved." Lusamine shook her head.
"Because of the Ultimate Beast..."
"Yes, it's because of the Ultra Beasts. Do you know the King of the Island, Nanu? Before he became the King of the Island, he was one of the Interpol officers sent by the Spirit League to Alola to investigate the Ultra Beasts."
Lusamine revealed the secret.
"But at that time, a mission failed and a mission member was sacrificed. The cause of death was an Ultimate Beast, the Evil Eater King."
"If we don't investigate and find the Ultimate Beasts, the Alola Alliance will never be formed, and Alola will be unable to hold its head up in front of all the regions."
Hearing this, Lille bit her lip. She was not an immature child, and in the face of such a major event that concerned the entire Alola region, she could not say something so capricious as to ask Lusamine not to interfere in the matter.
"Don't worry, Lille. Mother knows what you are worried about, but mother is fully prepared. I have also hired a powerful champion-level trainer as a guarantee."
Lusamine caressed Lille's soft face lovingly.
"Champion-level trainer?" Lille was surprised. Even she understood the value of the title of champion-level trainer.
"Yes, he is very powerful."
There was something complicated deep in Lusamine's eyes.
But Lille obviously didn't understand the profound meaning behind her mother's words.
