Tale of a Hedonistic wizard
Chapter 13: Familial love

Jaegar held Diana tightly, offering her a sense of comfort and security amidst the turmoil of her emotions. As she gradually composed herself, he gently brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Mom, you have been there for me all my life, and you are the only mother I have ever known," Jaegar whispered softly, his voice filled with conviction. "No one can come between us or break the bond we share. You don't have to worry about that."

His words carried a resolute promise, a pledge to protect and cherish the woman who had raised him with unwavering love and devotion.

"You've given me so much, and I want to be strong for you now," Jaegar continued, his voice filled with genuine sincerity.

In that heartfelt moment, Jaegar mustered the courage to express his deepest desires to Diana. He knew that his dreams of attending the academy and exploring the world of magic had always burned brightly within him. Yet he couldn't bear to see his mother in such distress and wanted her approval before venturing into the unknown.

"Mum," Jaegar began, his voice laced with a mixture of excitement and concern. "I've always yearned to learn about wizards and immerse myself in the world of magic. You've seen how passionate I am about it and how I've dedicated hours to studying and researching. It would make me truly happy to experience it firsthand. But I can't go if it means you'll be unhappy and shed tears like this."

Diana's heart wavered between her own desires to keep Jaegar close and the knowledge that he yearned to explore the world of magic. She saw the sparkle in his eyes and the genuine passion he held for the mystical arts. Although her worry persisted, she couldn't deny her nephews' dreams any longer.

Diana's gaze met Jaegar's, a tumult of emotions flickering in her eyes. She understood the depth of his interest in magic.

"Do you really wanna go there?" Diana asked, her voice tinged with a mixture of concern and hesitation.

Jaegar nodded fervently, a spark of determination igniting within him. "Yes, Mum. I truly do. I want to learn, to grow, and to see the wonders of magic firsthand."

Wrestling with her own reservations, Diana took a deep breath. She knew that denying Jaegar the opportunity to pursue his dreams would only lead to regret and unfulfilled potential. Reluctantly, she nodded in acceptance.

"Okay," she finally acquiesced, her voice filled with a mix of apprehension and love. "If this is what you truly desire, then you can go. But promise me you'll stay safe and never reveal your true identity. You must be cautious, my dear."

Jaegar's eyes shone with gratitude as he responded, "I'll be careful, Mum. I'll protect myself and keep a low profile. You have my word."

With a mix of relief and reluctance, Diana leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on Jaegar's forehead. "I love you, my dear. Remember, you always have a home here, no matter where your journey takes you."

Jaegar, unable to contain his excitement, exclaimed, "If I'm going, then let's make the most of the next two days! We'll create lasting memories together." Swiftly, he lifted his mother into his arms, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes, and carried her towards their shared haven, their laughter filling the air.

Diana couldn't help but smile at her son's infectious energy and enthusiasm.
