My Wife is a Sassy Queen

As the Smith family banquet came near, Liliana and Jonathan had an awkward problem.

Kyle was a Preston, and they could not introduce him at the banquet.

Liliana called Kyle in the study and asked him directly.

“Kyle, you know, there’s going to be a banquet in Jonathan’s old house in two weeks.”

Kyle nodded his head, “Yes, Mommy.”

Liliana pursed her lips and said, “Initially, we planned to have you stay back with Granduncle Green, but now the plans have changed.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Kyle looked at her curiously.

Kyle was getting several different training sessions and was becoming a poker face like his father.

Because of who his mother was, Kyle had a natural affinity for hiding his emotions and not letting anything slip. He was getting so much better at it that Liliana was worried that she would not be able to read him soon enough.

She suppressed her emotions and hugged Kyle.

“Kyle, you are my son. I love you so much. I don’t want you to be a part of an adult’s scheme. But I can not change your birth. The same as I can’t change Li and Jo’s birth and their responsibilities and burdens.”

Kyle patted Liliana’s back and mumbled, “I know, Mommy. We don’t feel wrong, so don’t worry. I know you love us the most.”

She kissed his face and added, “If you don’t want to do any of these, let me know. As your mother, it’s my responsibility to protect you. And I want to protect you and shield you from all harm. But like I said, I can’t change our births. We were born with privileges. And with that comes responsibilities and danger.”

“I tell the three of you many things that a normal parent would not tell her child. That is because I am not a normal person, Kyle. The same way your parents aren’t regular civilians.”

“The Prestons have a long history of military associations, and your mother was something else entirely. If it ever comes out who your biological mother is, you will be in grave danger. That’s why we train you so hard. That’s also why your training is very different from Li and Jo’s. Despite everything, Jonathan and I are wealthy merchants, but your parents were involved in much more secret stuff.”

“This is also why we are always so tight-lipped about your mother’s identity. We will tell you who your mother is in due time. We will tell you later when you are old enough to appreciate her sacrifices and protect yourself.”

Kyle stayed quite deep in thought before he nodded, “I understand, Mommy.”

Liliana nodded, “Anyway, back to what I was saying. Initially, we planned to have you stay back with granduncle Green during the next two weekends as we take Jo and Li to the Smith Family ancestors and have the banquet.”

Kyle nodded at her.

She continued, “But Leo said if we are trying to throw off the Prestons from using you as a bargaining chip or a springboard, we should let you stay back with Prestons. That’s also for safety reasons.”

Before Kyle could respond, she added, “However, the weekend after that, we will bring you back personally. Well, Jonathan will personally fetch you back. That way, the Prestons won’t dare to mess with you, but at the same time, they won’t be able to take advantage of you.”

Kyle nodded, “I understand, Mommy.”

Liliana gave him a sad smile. “You are too young to be involved in these politics, Kyle. But we can not shelter you forever. We don’t want to stunt your growth. You must bear such a burden at a young age.”

Kyle nodded, “It’s okay, Mommy. I also want to be strong enough to protect you and Jo.”

Liliana smiled, “I know, honey. I love you so much. Don’t ever forget that.”

Kyle smiled at her and hugged her.

Liliana explained the same things to Nathaniel and Joyanna though in simpler terms.

Nathaniel only frowned but did not say anything. Joyanna was visibly upset and clung to Kyle, who played with her and soothed her worries.
