The Greatest Assassin Trapped In The Novel World As An Antagonist
214.A Small Gift for Mary

"What about the Hobbits, are they getting used to living in the north?."

"Yes, based on his report they can blend in with other residents even though the masuh looks not getting along with the dark elves. Even so there is nothing special about the fights of these two nations."

"That's great...."Ares smiled and nodded in satisfaction at the report Damon had read. It may have been a few months since the Hobbit's northward migration occurred, at that time he was really very much made to take care of the things needed to make them live here.

Especially permission from his father as the head of the family and grandparents with his grandmother as the family elders. At first it was difficult because it was too sudden but slowly he was able to control it to the point of obtaining permission to stay. He obtained this permit after informing various benefits obtained if accommodating the Hobbits.

The Hobbits, if counted in their entirety, numbered over seven million, and most of them were runesmiths, expert forgers or professional miners. The latter two are particularly important to the North at the moment because they lack professional miners to mine in the mines they manage.

With them some of the problems are solved only there are more problems that come after.

Like the nobles who feel the act of the Dunkenheit Family is brazen for accepting immigrants without permission and much more. The nobles made a lot of trouble and to destroy the reputation of the Dunkenheit Family, this was done so that none of these bought products from the North.

But unfortunately they have to accept the harsh reality if their deeds are only futile actions. Because the Dunkenheit Family did not focus sales on Erde's kingdom, but to neighboring countries that were good friends with the Dunkenheit Family.

Those who are good friends with the Dunkenheit Family will get many benefits ranging from special discounts to a certain point will get protection from the Dunkenheit Family. Therefore many neighboring countries prefer to buy products in the Dunkenheit Family than others.

Because the products managed by the Dunkenheit Family are much more quality and cheap. If you can buy quality but cheap, why should they buy those that are not quality but expensive?

And also the heads of state who heard the bad rumors of the Dunkenheit Family also did not believe that much, because most of them were customers of the Dunkenheit Family since the family was still a mercenary. It was no wonder they trusted the Dunkenheit Family.

But they are now facing a difficult problem to deal with. Even people at the level of their fathers, grandparents, and grandmothers raise their hands with this.

That problem is....

"Mama!!."

"Mama!!."

With happy faces the two children approached Mary and hugged her as if Mary were their mother. Yes, maybe a while ago Aisyah and Max started calling Mary Mother or Mama.

This made him confused, Ares could only let it go because he thought they might stop by themselves, but his mind was wrong, Aisyah and Max always called Mary mother or mother. It keeps repeating itself for some time.

Ares himself could not do much because no matter how many times he said Aisyah and Max always called Mary by the name of mother. Gerald, Catherine and Richard did not comment much.

"Is Mary playing with Aisyah and Max again?."

"Yes, Sir. Mary while playing with the young Miss and the young Master, as long as you are busy working she is the one in charge of looking after the young Master and the Young Miss."

"Hmmm... That's how it is."Ares rubbed his chin while thinking about something, actually Ares felt a little guilty to Mary because he was too troublesome. Mary was indeed an important person who took care of the administration of the territory and was reliable in many ways, but now she changed direction to housewife.

He hoped that Max and Aisyah would not bother him too much, as he thought about giving her the gift Ares remembered with the gift that King Fritz had given her earlier.

After thinking carefully and thinking about all the possibilities Ares then ordered Damon to call Mary.

*********************************

"Damon, do you know why you called me?."

Damon shook his head"Honestly I don't know why you're calling you either, but my fire says this is related to Young Master and the young Miss calling you mother. Even though I'm not sure about this."

Hearing Damon's words made Mary suddenly feel a premonition, indeed since Aisyah and Max called her mother her closeness to Ares slightly increased, Ares also seemed to pay more attention to her especially her health.

The feeling of pleasure and pounding of course he felt when Ares said that, although he himself was a bit uncomfortable with Aisyah and Max who always called him mother, he knew his ability to make him worthy of being called mother.

" Mister, it's waiting for you inside"

Without Mary realizing he had reached the door of Ares' room, hesitatingly he entered the room and found Ares sitting there.

"Good day, Mary. Did I interrupt your playtime with the kids?."

"Ah, no sir, not at all. Young master and young Miss had slept for a while and so I was able to come here."

"Is that so? I'm glad to hear it." Ares smiled gently, and it made Mary pangling for a while.

"Mary, is taking care of them both too much for you?."

"No, Sir! Instead I love this job because I love kids, I also love them both like my own kids!!."Mary said with confidence and honesty, her eyes also radiated the same thing making Ares can only smile thinly.

"I knew you'd say that, as a gift for having been troubling you all this time, I'd give you."Ares took out a black box from the desk drawer, a black box that emitted a dense energy.

"Sir, what is this?."

Ares did not answer him and only asked Mary to open it first, Mary's eyes opened wide when she saw the contents of the black box.

"Sir, did you give this to me?."Mary was a little pale, she had not expected Ares to give her such a precious thing.

Ares smiled and nodded softly"Truely I gave the pill to you as a gift for already looking after my children, and again compared to the others you are much more in need of a nine-star dragon pill."

"But do you know how valuable the nine-star dragon pill is? Compared to given to me this will be much better for your own consumption, if you consume this you can certainly penetrate the Grandmaster realm!!."

Mary's words were indeed true, if she ate the pill then she would break through the Grandmaster realm. But come to think of it Ares did not really need a nine-star dragon pill, compared to him his subordinates like Eizen, Damon, Mary and Yuto were much more in need of this pill.

He considered giving her this pill to Yuto but after considering it again Mary was the one chosen, because among all his subordinates besides Vlad and Ulbert, it was, Mary was the most powerful and mastered hundreds of types of spells even she mastered some rare Divine Tier Magic spells and was difficult to master by other mages.

And again Ares had a promise to keep. Because after all he was a man, making promises was also not his style.

For a while Mary and Ares argue over a nine-star dragon pill, Mary does everything she can to resist it and Ares again has an answer that leaves Mary unable to answer any more.

"Mary, I know I need this thing too, but compared to me you need it a lot more. And again I have an appointment with you, remember not the first time we met?."

Mary daydreams and recalls the promise Ares made when they first met. A promise that became the beginning of the growth of love in his heart, a promise that became the beginning for him to get a new life.

"But, Tuan—"

"Crssssttttt... I don't want to hear any more excuses, take it."Ares smiled as he thrust the black box containing the nine-star dragon pill at Mary, Mary wanted to reject it but since Ares really forced her to make him unwillingly accept the pill.

"Mary will take the pill soon because soon the promise I'm telling you will be kept..."

"uh? Meaning, Master?."

Ares smiles meaningfully and soon Mary realizes the reason Ares forced her to accept the nine-star dragon pill.

"Sir, don't-don't..."

"Really, Mary. In the near future the Kingdom of Gottlich and the Kingdom of Astria!!."
