Lucia has left.
It was sothing that had to be done so I had no complaints. Lucia told that she would do everything in her power to finish early and co back. We parted reluctantly. The last ti we parted was when I left, and now it was my turn to see her leave. However, I soon had to leave the elf nation too. After the full moon night tomorrow, I will have to return to the humans.
I only went through one event this month, but that one event felt like a lifetis worth.
Since Lucia left today, I had nothing left to do either. It turned out I was right. Everything I was asked to do previously was all to keep from spending ti with Lucia! Lucia is gone, and so is ra. I no longer had any interest in leaving the palace. And so, I casually read a novel while sitting under a tree.
What are you reading, my son?
Just as I started feeling sleepy and was about to fall asleep thanks to the warm temperature in the afternoon, a gentle voice ca from above. I placed the book on my face to a side and sat up. I looked at mom who was looking at with a smile and replied: Nothing, just a novel. But I was about to fall asleep before I could finish it.
Mom smiled as she picked up the novel to flip through it and then said: Youve always been reading books since you were young which is why mommy has kept the drafts of all works in the library. Mommy really likes this habit of yours, since mommy didnt let you touch swords and weapons from a young age. Reading a lot will also allow you to understand the thinking of the sages of old. Thoughts are a good thing. Flesh will die and rot, but thoughts will not.
I agree, mom.
I sat up straight and leaned my back against the tree trunk. I looked up to the green tree leaves above and went into a daze. I dont know if it was just my imagination or not, but I felt like the tree leaves had begun to wither.
Perhaps winter really is coming. This will be my first winter, but it must not be so nice for the elves. I wonder what its like for humanity. To be honest, winter reminds of New Year, and when I think of New Yeara strange nostalgic feeling of ho cos over .
You must be starting to feel lonely here, right, son?
Mom bunched her dress together and then sat down beside . She intimately hugged my arm, rubbed my face and continued with a smile, However, mommy feels like such days, being able to see you lead a peaceful life are very blissful. I feel even stronger about that after what happened during the deer hunting festival. I just want you to be able to live, son.
I leaned on moms shoulder and looked at everything in front of blankly. I chuckled and then said: But mom, I feel like it would better if there is sothing to do. I feel like an elderly like this.
Then how about you co and do so work with mommy? Ah Mommy doesnt have any work today either, but mommy has confird your wedding.
Mom did so thinking and then said, Next is preparing the clothing. Hmm, it takes longer to make wedding dress, probably around three months. I dont know if youll be by mommys side or that bitchs side when its complete. But regardless, I think Lucia will definitely go and search for you in humanitys kingdom because elves must try on their wedding dress in front of their husband first when they receive it.
Does it take that long to make a wedding dress?!
Its not that long really. Its just that they need to collect lots of natural mana. Once they do, the wedding dress will be light and can fly. Its a beautiful sight. It can even attract birds and butterflies. It will also carry a nice fragrance with it into the winds. When that happens, the girl will feel very blissful because its a one dress per person sort of thing. Its a mory that they will keep forever.
Mom looked at the sky nostalgically. She then smiled and said, Back then when mommy got married with mommys brother, mommy wore a wedding dress like that. Mommy still has it. You were already in mommys belly by then, hehe Im so glad our family of three managed to experience such a blissful ti.
Mom hugged and in a slightly sad tone continued: But my brother didnt leave many things behind for . Even though we were in love, we only had a few years together. He left to go and subdue the large dragon in the Northern wastelands afterwards. Only his ring ca back. After that, he never returned. However, mommy still has you.
Mom took in a deep breath, wore a calm smile and continued, You are the most treasured gift mommys brother left mommy with. Mommys final consolation was your smile. After mommys brother left, mommy has depended on you to get through the worst of tis. And so, mommy is very grateful of you too. Son, you have lighted up my years. Having you in this lifeti of mine is truly so blissful.
Thank you, mom. Im very grateful of you too.
Mom hugged happily and gently kissed on my cheek. I was everything to mom. My birth completely changed the lives of a few people. While mom has inherited this kingdom, the only loved one she has left is . Mom has done a very good job. She has done everything a mother should do. As her son, I am very happy.
I looked at mom and softly said: Mom, youre a great mom Im very happy. Honest.
Really? Mommy is glad then, honest Mommy cant compare to mommys brother, nor has mommy accomplished anything significant But knowing that you can grow up happily is the happiest thing for mommy. Well, mommy isnt completely useless, right? After all, I have a son that Im proud of.
Mom let go of and stood up. She looked at the palace and cheerfully said, Everybody must die, but not everybody can live a aningful life. Mommy managed to fulfil the responsibilities of a mother, so mommy has lived a aningful life. Son, did you know that mommys lifespan is longer than an elfs? Mommy has managed to accomplish sothing that will make mommy proud of herself of the remainder of mommys life.
I stood up and went to moms side. Mom held my hand and then pulled along as we walked towards the palace. She smiled and said: Lets go son. Mommy will make you a few dinners once we get back. You soon wont be able to eat moms cooking for a month. That woman probably cant cook, right?
Yeah She cant.
I recalled the empresss purple-rubber soup again. I almost passed out and died with just one mouthful of that. I must say, I have a great opportunity to get fat here with the elves, and then diet down when I get to humanitys side, and then get fat again. I wonder if Lucia knows how to cook. How about Nier?
Nah, nah, nah. Nier is the empresss Valkyrie, so she probably cant cook. You can tell she cant cook with one glance. If the empress cant cook, Nier wouldnt have had a chance to try cooking. I reckon Lucia can cook, since shes a girl after all. Mom can cook, so as a female elf, Lucia should be able to as well.
Wow! Nier is the head chef today!!
Thats great! Thats great!! This is such a joyous occasion!! Niers dishes are the best!
The Valkyries in the Valkyrie camp right now were as excited as if it were New Year. Cooking is a fundantal skill for the Valkyries who dont have the help of outsiders and need to learn to feed themselves. As an instructor, Nier was naturally a superior cook too. And hence, whenever Nier cooked, the entire Valkyrie squad would be excited
