Aiden stood there speechless glancing directly into his mum's eyes. Imagine if these words just end up flowing out of his mouth.

'I went to the Mudville River to glance at naked ladies'.

..Just imagine what would happen, it would be a complete disaster.

Emma repeated the question, "Aiden, where did you go to? I heard you've come back before, but suddenly went missing. And it's close to complete nighttime. Hazel is home. Where did you go to?".

Remember, Aiden had already thought of what he was gonna tell them in case they asks him this question which his mum was already asking him. But he didn't know how solid his answer was gonna be, if she was gonna believe it.

But he has to voice it out, there was nothing else in his head, what can he do? He began speaking...

"Umm...I went to one of my friends' house to ask a question, the one named, Oliver. There were some things I needed clarification on regarding what we were taught at school. So that's why I went to his house".

..A big lie.

"So, you got home, remembered that you needed to ask your friend a question, and decided to journey to his house though it was a little late? Couldn't you wait till tomorrow when you'll meet him at school?". Emma inquired with a kind of expression on her face.

"It is something important, by the time I'll get to school tomorrow, it would be too late...there'll be no need to ask him anymore. We were taught and given an assignment regarding that topic. Getting home, I forgot it, and we'll need to submit the assignment in the morning at school tomorrow,

I knew I needed to go ask him 'cause it would be too late tomorrow...I needed clarification regarding the assignment and what we were taught. So that's why I had to journey to his house though it was a little late". Aiden explained.

Emma, Alora, and Lydia seemed to believe his lie. Lydia was now in the living room, she arrived when Aiden was explaining. They believed him, but everything he said was false...he went to glance at naked females at the Mudville River.

Emma's voice resounded, "Okay, okay, I understand. All I just have to say is be careful, walking around late isn't that good, especially for a small boy like you. And also, because your father is an average-ranked chief, bad people are lurking, enemies are lurking".

Aiden only nodded his head, then Emma walked out of his presence along with the servants. A smirk appeared on Aiden's face at that moment, they believed his lie...they believed his f**king lie. He began strolling toward his room.

He got to the door of his room, opened it, and stepped foot into it. Then he began walking straight to his bed, reached it, and sat on it. Then he began thinking about the events that took place this evening.

How he got to the forest, made his way to the river, glanced at their naked bodies, and was told by his system to come out of his hiding place which he did. How he was chased by naked ladies, and how he escaped.

..It was such a journey.

One thing that was making him glad was that he completed the quest though it was dangerous. He took out the mask from his pocket, it was about time to return it to his item panel. He called out on his system,

"System".

<Yes, host>

"I want to return this mask to my item panel".

And at that moment, the mask disappeared, it had been returned to the item panel. The last thought that ran through Aiden's mind was,

'Would the news spread? The news about a young boy glancing at naked ladies at the Mudville River?'.

******

Did the news spread around? Yes, it did. Ever since the Mudville River came into existence and a rule was made that it was meant for only females, no male kid has ever been caught there.

Yeah, some had come to glance at naked females, the perverted ones, but they had never been caught. But some grown-up male adults had been caught glancing at naked females at the river...and they were severely punished.

..As known, even the king wasn't allowed to go to the river.

So catching a kid glancing at them in the river really shocked them...what gave him that guts and courage? And he wasn't even trying to hide, he stood there comfortably glancing at them.

And he was so smart that he wore a mask so they wouldn't see his face even if they sight him...a small boy like him? And though they chased after him, he was so fast they couldn't even catch up to him. They had to spread the news.

One person told the other, and the person told another person, and so the news kept spreading until it had spread around communities. People were shocked to hear the news. Yeah, they had caught some adults there.

But what was making them so shocked was that it was a kid. That gave them the impression that some other kids might have gone there, but none of them had been caught which was true.

Even the king had gotten the news by now, and he was so shocked. They had no idea that it was Ethan's son, Aiden...the son of an average-ranked chief.

You know the situation where you'll start becoming suspicious of someone? Was he the one that did it? Or wasn't he the one? That's exactly what was happening to parents now that they've heard of the news...especially fathers.

They'll keep glancing at their male sons that weren't up to their teenage age and wondering, 'Was it him?'. That thought was running through their heads, but they kept on wishing it wasn't their sons...they couldn't have become this perverted at this age?

..Meanwhile, the main culprit was there, and that was, Aiden.

By now, he was already aware the news had spread. And it was just as he expected, they were most likely gonna spread the news. But his parents weren't suspecting him at all, they took it like he couldn't have become that perverted at this age.

What does he know? Their mindsets were like that of other parents. But they had no idea that he was the main culprit.

It was morning currently, Aiden and Hazel were supposed to head over to their different academies...Ethan was the one that was gonna ride them there. But as usual, they needed to eat breakfast first before going.

Alora and Lydia would soon serve the food on the dining table. So currently, Emma, Ethan, Aiden, and Hazel were in the living room. And this was the conversation taking place between Ethan and Emma.

"What kind of kid would go all the way to the Mudville River to glance at naked ladies? He must be such a brat, a really spoiled one". Ethan voiced out with a kind of expression on his face, he was finding it hard to believe.

"I've just been thinking about it, how can a kid be that perverted? Leaving his home to go glance at naked ladies? According to what I heard, he didn't follow the normal path to get to the river. He followed a shortcut, I think, a wilderness,

So if I was part of the ladies in the river, he would have seen..." Emma couldn't even complete that last statement, thinking about it alone was making her feel somehow.

..Meanwhile, Aiden just sat there listening to their conversation, they had no single idea he was the brat they were speaking of.

If not for the system's quest, he wouldn't have gone there yet to glance at naked females. And they were able to sight him due to the system's quest as well. As known, without the system's quest, he would have gone there on his own someday.

But they wouldn't sight him 'cause he'll hide in the leaves throughout while glancing at them. The system was the reason why they sighted him. Today was making it the second day since he went to the river and escaped from the hands of the females...and the news had already spread around like this.

They were talking about it at school, that's for sure. Alora and Lydia served the food, and the Dankworth family had breakfast.

******

Oliver's mind had been busy for some time now, he kept thinking who that kid could be...the one that went to the Mudville River to glance at naked ladies.

..And he was suspecting, Aiden.

Oliver himself had gone to the river once to glance at naked ladies, and that was the last time it happened, he never went there again though he's been visiting the forest to hunt.

..And he remembered showing Aiden the paths that led to the river while they were in the forest.
