Novel Full Chapter 411 - Mother, I'm Sorry...
-----
"Clementine-sama! Please, open your door, y-you can't feel like that! It must have been a misunderstanding! She was… joking around!"
The Vampire Butler felt utterly heartbroken as he heard the cry of the ancient Vampire matriarch…
Clementine didn't listen to him, as she was over her bed crying.
She began to wonder since how long her daughter has hated her.
"What did I do wrong? Sniff… I was just trying to love and take care of her… Sniff… Maybe I didn't do it right… Maybe… I am too incompetent… Sniff…"
Clementine felt embarrassed to have showed her guests her crying face, and had covered her face and ran to her room after such an incident, as she caged herself inside of her room.
Her makeup was a mess, and she was crying all desperately.
She was tightly hugging her large cushion, while recalled her past with Harumi, how she found her and how she took care of her ever since.
She recalled that it was very hard to take care of a baby, despite being so old and wise in many things, parenting was something she had never experienced, and it ended being a challenge mightier than fighting an Elder Dragon..
Many times, Harumi would begin crying because she didn't like the food. Or other times where she would feel weakened and sickly, worrying Clementine out of her mind, which ended being because she required to drink blood from time to time, but not too much due to being a Dhampir.
Many times, the little Harumi was bedridden and with fever all because of her strange metabolism. As a Dhampir, she had a hard time balancing her human and vampire side, sometimes she needed blood but other times if she drank too much, her human side would repulse it because humans' stomachs often reject large quantities of raw blood and vomit it… It was such a mess in those times.
Clementine felt so bad each time she recalled her little baby being all sickly, her heart was shattering even more now… Maybe she really was a terrible mother by not being able to realize quicker what was happening to Harumi…
"Sniff… I am such a terrible mother… I am really… so awful… Sniff… Sorry, Harumi…"
"M-Mom!"
Suddenly, Clementine was startled from her sorrow as she heard her daughter's voice.
"H-Harumi-chan?"
"Mom, sorry! Please, let me in, let's talk…" sighed Harumi.
"Sniff… But what do you want to talk with me? You hate me… You can leave the house if you hate me so much… S-So you are no longer with this… decrepit old woman…" cried Clementine.
"W-What are you talking about?! I would never… I don't want to!" said Harumi.
"I am a useless mother… I can't be a mother…" cried Clementine.
"Sigh… W-Why do you get so emotional? Please, let me in…" sighed Harumi.
"Don't you understand, young lady? I am sorry for being rude, but Clementine-sama… has been taking care of you since she found you in that Blood Thrall Hideout… Back then, you were just eating rats to survive as a feral toddler! She took you, took care of you, loved you and… more importantly, she gave you such a good life. Sometimes, several of us realized how you were breaking so many rules, yet… she always overlooked them just for you! She was always attentive, and every time she makes a meeting, she always talks about how much she loves you! It is a bit tiring but… we all in the entire clan understand how much Clementine-sama loves you as her daughter… How can you not get it?! Such a… ungrateful young lady!" said the butler.
"Okay, okay, I get it! Don't reprimand me, Gaston!" cried Harumi.
"Sigh…" sighed the butler.
Harumi began to sweat a bit as she started to talk more than she had ever spoke before.
"Mom, please… I… I was wrong! I am just talking out of my ass… It's just… when I hit puberty a lot of shit happened to my body and… it got so embarrassing… I wanted to… do things myself and… Agh… It doesn't mean I hate you or something! I was just mistaking your good actions because they annoyed me for being a lazy and unwilling person… But that's just all my fault… That's… I just suck at talking… I still love you! I love you a lot… Y-You're my mom after all! Even after knowing I was adopted… I didn't care… I didn't even mind it! Because… I knew that you were always my mother… even if we are not blood related…" sighed Harumi.
Clementine fell silent, as the door suddenly opened.
And then, Clementine jumped over Harumi!
"Harumi-chaaaaan!"
Clementine acted even more out of her character as she hugged her precious daughter.
"Is it true? You really love mama?" she asked.
"I-I do…" answered Harumi, feeling all embarrassed.
"Uwah! You're so cute! Mama loves Harumi-chan too!" said Clementine, as she rubbed her face over Harumi's face, as Harumi shyly kissed her cheek.
"Ah…! Harumi-chan, y-you kissed your mama?!" Clementine almost feel unconscious due to the shock and happiness…
"I just realized I never kissed you nor hugged you before… Sorry for being so… senseless…" sighed Harumi.
"It's fine… Mama will always forgive her little daughter…"
Harumi and Clementine hugged tightly as they shared their family bond. Frank and the rest watched from the sides, a bit surprised, but rather happy that these series of insane events were resolved quickly…
"Man… This was something else. I didn't expect this to end like this…" sighed Frank.
"Fufu, life is really filled with unexpected turns… Since I met you that I know that well," said Gwendolyn.
"Yeah, I agree…" said Axitl.
"Me too!" said Orb.
"Heh, I guess so…" said Matsuo.
After mother and daughter reconciled, there was a big dinner party where Frank and everyone on his group met literally every other Vampire in the Clan, the party was immense, and it had a large feast of delicious food and amazing drinks.
However, in the middle of the party, when Frank met with Clementine again…
"Fufu, I have a lot of expectations for you, boy… But! You better prove yourself worthy of my daughter first before any advances! You hear me?" she asked, her eyes glowing with sharp crimson-red glow.
"Ah, of course…" said Frank, feeling intimidated by the ancient Vampire overprotectiveness.
