Translator Comnts: Hey all, if you havent rated or reviewed the series on Novel Updates, itd be aweso if you could take so ti to. Lets share the greatness of Son-con to more people! Patrons, new chapter for you all tomorrow. Everybody else, see you the day after guys!
The outer chamber should be called a palace or a castle as opposed an outer chamber. As soon as I entered, I was shocked when I found that the large chamber which was decorated resplendently and luxuriously. I had to go up flights of stairs to reach my room which was on the fourth floor. No, you didnt misread that. This whole palace, this so-called outer chamber only had a single room which was mine. The other rooms were showrooms, living rooms or music rooms. There were also all sorts of pointless sets of armour and paintings hung up as decoration.
Im living alone in this huge castle?! There are housekeepers and servants, but they all live underground. They dont co up to the surface unless theres sothing that requires their attendance.
I looked at the massive room before that was like the size of two classrooms and flipped through the books on the table. I dont know who prepared them but they were primarily literature books. The bed was much more exquisite and luxurious than the one at the elf nation. When I jumped onto the large mattress, it was like I got swallowed up by it
Will I be able to wake up tomorrow if I spend the night sleeping on this bed?
I lay on the bed, sighed and spaced out while looking at the roof above . Humanitys empire is a bit different to what I imagined. Actually, its more accurate to say that as a human myself, I find it hard to understand this place. I an, for a mother who went to war with a neighbouring country for her kid, shouldnt she be excited at the sight of seeing her son? This empress however virtually gave the cold shoulder thereby putting in a dilemma. On one hand, theres a huge difference to what I expected. On the other hand, Ill have a large degree of freedom while here.
Moreover, I just cant feel at ease here. Theres the majestic empress and the cold female bodyguard. I think Ill go nuts if I dont find so sort of entertainnt here. I dont get much freedom in the elf nation, but running around in the palace with Lucia is fun. However, my Lucia isnt here with .
Ive only got a cold female bodyguard
Knock. Knock.
Co in.
I sat up as the door got pushed opened. The black-haired female bodyguard flicked her hair, looked at , bowed and said: Your majesty, her majesty has invited you to lunch with her. Please co with .
Umm, Nier!
Nier turned her head around and asked: Is sothing the matter, your majesty?
Well, uhh Is my outfit appropriate?
I was wearing the clothes placed on my bed which really matched the empresss tastes. It was a sky blue and white military uniform but slightly modified. It seed like everybody here wore boots, but they were quite comfortable when worn. I dont really know how to wear clothing made during this period properly. I just tried it on. I dont know if it suits the occasion or not.
Nier looked at and then walked up to from the front. She reached out and adjusted my bow tie by my chest. I raised my head and my eyes made their way to Nier subconsciously who was very close up to . Niers face is really pretty. Perfect actually, as if it were a statue with her features carved that way deliberately. But at the sa ti, her face lacked the compassion a statue lacks. Her eyes didnt look as serious as the empress. She should look radiant if she were to smile like Lucia when shes happy. She probably never uses perfus, but she had an elegant fragrance on her.
Done. Please pay attention to the position of your buttons and bow tie next ti.
Nier took a step back and turned around. Her army sabre hanging on her waist swung through the air dangerously as she turned. I was distracted for a mont. My sensitive senses given to by the elves made notice a drip of blood run down her scabbard dangerously. It wasnt a large drop of blood. It was just a thin layer of blood, but that was evidence that Nier had just killed sobody.
I called her again: Nier! Whats with the blood on your sword?
Nier turned her head around and casually replied: A maid entered her majestys room prior to receiving permission, so I killed her.
I stared at her flabbergasted: You killed her just because of that?!
Nier looked at and righteously said: Thats right. Is that not enough? She barged into her majestys room without permission and even saw her majesty in that state, so I had to kill her to prevent her from spilling what she saw. I believe that was the right thing to do. I also believe that you dont have the authority to criticise because we Valkyries receive our orders directly from her majesty. You have no right to question us.
Killing soone is no big deal to her. Killing people for her majesty was as normal as it gets. Her world view, philosophies and values are completely different to mine.
Alright, Im speechless What else can I say? If thats what her majesty commanded you to do, then it also ans she agreed to it. In other words, shes as savage as my mom told I knew mom wouldnt lie to ! My mom wasnt maligning her, its the truth!!
Im about to go and have lunch with a wolf!!
Please co with , your majesty, were running late and making her majesty wait.
Okay!!
I was scared This was no longer about freedom but my life itself!! Humanity is scary! I want to return to the elves! Mom doesnt let go out, but shed only spank if I angered her. She wouldnt even think of killing ! I stayed with the elves for only a month and mom only got angry once. She didnt burn Lucia to death either. But in just an hour after arriving here, soones already been killed!
Right now in the dining hall
The empress paced back and forth in the dining hall, biting her thumbnail as she looked around the dining hall. The head chef looked at her anxious expression and asked: Are you feeling really nervous, your majesty?
Yeah My son is about to get here What do I need to prepare? Hmmm The wine has been prepared, right? The dishes are ready as well, right? Oh Thats right! I I need to get him so auspicious at stew And there was also Right! Wine Wine What shall I wish him? I I wish you the best of health? I hope that you grow up soon? No. No. Hes already eighteen years, two months and fifteen days old already Hes already an adult
The prince has arrived
Kyaaah!!
The empress who was in deep thought got a fright from the sudden voice that spoke out. She rushed towards the main seat and settled down. She took a deep breath, gently rubbed her face and softly said: Its okay, its okay. Dont be scared. Dont be scared Dont be nervous, hes your own son. Hes your son. Calm down, calm down What should a normal mother do?!!!
Thats right. The empress has always been a swordswoman. She led the cavalry against enemy armies many tis when she was eighteen years old. Her accolades from war are incomparably glorious. Her accomplishnts far supersede the emperors before her.
However, she has no idea how to carry out the duties of a proper qualified mother.
This is the dining hall. I hope you and her majesty enjoy your al.
Arent you coming in with ?!
Nier gave a weird look and said: Its your lunch with her majesty, I cant enter. If you need for sothing, just call for .
No Thats not it Im not asking you to eat with . The thought of eating alone with her majesty scares and makes tense.
At that ti, I had no idea that right now, behind this white door inlaid with gold and pearls, was sobody who was even more tense and nervous than I was
