The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 654. Family Drama

The pain in my heart was unbearable as I felt Celia's heartache, and it felt like it was stabbing at me with every sob she released. It was as if my own heart was breaking right alongside hers. I could feel the turmoil inside of me and the sadness in the air was palpable. None of my pets made a sound, as if they too were feeling the sorrow in the room.

As Celia's sobs slowly began to dissipate, I knew that she was starting to calm down. I held her tightly, wanting to take away all of her pain. But eventually, she released my hug and turned to me. Her eyes were red and puffy, but there was a determination in her gaze.

"I want to go back to my room and calm myself down," she said, wiping away her tears.

I nodded, understanding her need for space. "Take all the time you need," I said, giving her a small smile.

Then she left.

I watched her go, feeling a mix of sadness and pride. I knew that she was strong, and she would come out of this okay. I just needed to be there for her, to support her through this difficult time.

“Master… can we help you to cook?” asked Foxy, who was behind me. Her voice sounded melancholy.

“Yeah. We promise we will be useful to you,” added Red with the same tone. I was sure they were trying to cheer me up.

“Sure,” I answered. Then I turned to them and forced a smile. “Let’s make a nice breakfast!” I tried to be positive.

I headed to the kitchen, my pets, and Foxy following close behind. I hoped I would be able to make something delicious for Celia, despite not being the best cook.

Though with my sour mood, I began to gather the ingredients I would need for breakfast. I grabbed a pan and placed it on the stove, turning up the heat. I then took out the eggs, bacon, and bread, laying them on the counter. With my pets by my side, I started to cook. I put the bacon, cooking it to a crispy golden brown.

"Red, can you give me a hand with the bacon?" I asked as the dog wagged his tail eagerly.

"Of course! I'm always happy to help," Red replied, as he took the spatula with his mouth and started to stir the bacon to make sure they were cooked evenly.

"Thanks, buddy," I said, patting Red on the head. "Now, let's see what Rave and Buni can do."

Foxy and Buni hopped over to the toaster, eager to help.

"So, what are we making?" Foxy asked as she leaned against the counter.

"I thought I'd make something simple, like eggs and bacon with some toast," I replied, as I checked on the eggs.

"Sounds yummy!" Buni exclaimed as she bounced up and down.

"Rave, do you want to help with the toast?" I asked as I gestured toward the toaster.

"Sure thing," Rave replied, as he fluttered over to the toaster. "I'll make sure it's nice and crispy."

With the help of my pets and Foxy, I was able to prepare a delicious breakfast in no time. Still, with some burn on a few parts, it was better than the last time. I placed it all on a tray and headed to Celia's room. I gently knocked on the door and entered, a smile on my face, eager to see the look of surprise on Celia's face when she saw what I had prepared for her. At least this would make her mood better.

I pushed open the door to Celia's room and was greeted by the sight of her sitting on her bed, her eyes red from tears. She looked up at me, a weak smile forming on her face.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" she asked, as she sniffled.

"Special service for the lady,” I answered in a playful tone. Followed by another. “I brought you breakfast," I replied in a much more serious tone, as I held out the tray. "I thought it might make you feel better."

Celia's eyes lit up as she saw the delicious breakfast I had prepared for her. "Thank you," she said, as she took the tray from me and started to eat it.

I sat down next to her on the bed, watching as she took a bite of the eggs. "How is it?" I asked as I leaned in closer.

"It's tastier than the last time,” Celia replied, as she took another bite.

I felt a sense of pride wash over me as I watched my sister enjoy the breakfast and was grateful that I could do something to bring a smile to her face, even if just for a moment.

As Celia ate, my pets gathered around us, eager to see how she liked the breakfast.

"So, what do you think, Celia?" Foxy asked as she hopped onto the bed. She was still in her fox form.

"It's delicious, Foxy," Celia replied, as she took another bite. "He really outdid himself this time."

"I told you he was a good cook," Buni said, as she snuggled up next to Celia.

"I'm just glad I could do something to make you feel better," I said, as I placed my hand on Celia's shoulder.

That sentence made her lower her eating utensils and looked at me with a melancholic look. "Thank you… You're always there for me," Celia replied, as she leaned into my embrace. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

We sat there, holding each other. I felt a sense of peace wash over me. Despite all the turmoil and uncertainty in our lives, I knew that as long as we had each other, we could get through anything.

After a few moments, I stood up from the bed. "Finish your breakfast, I will be down in the dining room," I said, deciding to announce that I also wanted to eat my breakfast in case she wanted to join me if she wanted to.

But she only answered me with a nod. “I will bring the dishes down the stairs after I finish,” she said, indicating that she didn’t have any intention to join me.

I left her room followed by my pets. Only Foxy accompanied her.

Once we walked down the stairs, my pet spoke, "Don't worry, Your Highness," Rave said, as he perched on my shoulder. "She'll be okay."

"Yeah, she's a strong woman," Red added.

“I know…” I answered in a gloomy tone. It was different from my previous tone.

Despite their words of encouragement, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach. I knew that the news about my mother had shaken Celia to her core, and I didn't know how to make her better.

‘Just concentrate on what’s ahead, Ethan… As long she has you, she will be fine…’
