When I woke up the next day, I saw Mom sleeping soundly next to .
Elizabeth held my hand at one side and was sleeping soundly. On the other side were Lucia and Nier, who were also asleep.
Though I dont feel as if theres any problem with the two of them being asleep, why are Luna and Freya asleep as well? And why do they look sprawled out on the ground, as if they got knocked out by soone?
But ntally, I felt very clear-minded, as if I had just recovered from a long term illness. I rarely felt this way, as I was normally in pain after a full moon. I usually felt a little weak and sick after Vyvyan had sucked my mana out, but I didnt feel any of those symptoms today.
I wonder if Vyvyan adjusted my mana as well, last night.
However, Vyvyan wasnt around, and I didnt know where shed gone off to.
I touched my body. My body wasnt ssy, and even my clothes were fine.
I smiled helplessly. It looks like I was over-concerned about Vyvyan. Not even Vyvyan would do sothing while Elizabeth and so many others are around watching. Im relieved. It looks like what Mom said wont happen to . But regardless, Mom still has her rationality intact. Perhaps Mom was just joking that ti. I blad Mom unjustly.
Maybe thats how it was. I didnt consider the problem seriously, at the ti.
I watched Lucia, deep asleep, and thought about it.
Lucias child will be my successor. As elves are a race that views bloodlines with great significance, his mana will determine if he can beco the next king or not. Vyvyan is heavily supported by the people, not because of her figure, but because of her irrefutably powerful magic.
Realistically, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that Vyvyan was the most talented of the Galadriel tribe. More precisely, Vyvyan is the Galadriels greatest magical tool, which they spent hundreds of years to create. Dark elves used all sorts of filthy thods to collect magic. So were cursed, but Vyvyan soared. As a demigod, she is in no way different to a god other than not being able to create elents.
I looked at my hands and recalled my powerful destructive power.
I easily destroyed a forest and lake; so, Vyvyan, whose mana is boosted on full moon nights, would easily be able to destroy the continent. As long as she had the ti to collect the elents.
Elves dont have heirs who fight for the throne. They didnt have dukes, princes, and the sort revolting. Mana was everything.
I wonder what my child with Lucia will be like, then.
My mana is of a super-high level. If we were to rank it in order, it would be super-ultra grade. Even though I cant use it, I still have volu. Lucia is just C-grade. If were lucky, our child will be A-grade, but if our child is a B-grade, he would be an ordinary elf.
Such a descendant wont qualify. He would have no way of becoming king. He wont be acknowledged, as soon as hes born.
Even if he grows up under the protection of Vyvyan, Lucia and I, he would still have to ascend the throne, in the end. Were knowingly making him suffer through pain in the future. Would that be fair to the child? Arent we sending an innocent to the abyss of despair, just for the sake of our love?
Am I doing the right thing?
But, I definitely cannot accept Vyvyans proposal. I do really like Vyvyan. No, my love for her is the son loving his mother type, without any lust. I did have such feelings before, but Im getting more and more into Troys identity now. Ive gradually co to see Vyvyan as my mother and not as my lover or a woman I like.
I will not use a substitute. But it looks like my only choice is to pray. Pray that our child can be happy. If this child cant reach the standard of a successor, I will have to entrust our hopes to our next child. Lucia and I can have another child that will be a successor with enough mana.
My child with Nier will be pure-human, while my child with Lucia will be an elf. Such a strange bloodline theory only exists in this world.
But where did Vyvyan go off to?
Just as I wondered that, Vyvyan pushed the door open and brought a tray in. When she spotted sitting up, she smiled and asked, How are you, Son? Are you feeling better?
Im well. Thank you, Mom.
Its fine, its fine. Mommy is your Mommy after all. Mommy should take care of you. Mom sat on the edge of the bed and affectionately stroked my head.
She placed the tray to one side. She said, Have so breakfast, Son. Full moon nights can have a negative impact on your health. Your mana has just stabilised today. Son, though the mana in your body has re-stabilised, you must not use magic again. Son, you must rember not to use magic. You can use the necklace to call for at any ti, but do not use magic yourself. Mommy isnt joking.
Seeing Moms serious expression, I nodded and then picked up a fruit. I replied, Alright, Mom. I wont make you worry.
Good.
Vyvyan stroked my head. Her smile, under the light of the early morning sun, was brimming with a golden light. It was warr and more captivating than the sun outside
I silently ate a simple breakfast, like I do when Im in the elven lands
No Sothing feels wrong
I know what it is, now! Its because its too harmonious! Its too harmonious! Isnt it too harmonious?! Next to is a sleeping Elizabeth, Nier, Lucia, Luna and Freya! Nier and Elizabeth are easily awoken, too. Why are they still sleeping calmly and not waking up?! My heart sunk.
When I saw Vyvyans blissful and warm smile, my entire body virtually felt like it was dunked into water.
Maybe last night Maybe last night maybe last night maybe that did end up happening last night?! Did it happen or not?! What has Vyvyan done to them?!
Mom why are they not waking up? I asked her the question.
Vyvyan dawdled for a mont, then revealed a smile. She made a shh hand gesture and answered, Maybe theyre too tired. Lets not wake them up, Son.
Are they truly too tired?! Is that true?! Why wont my mind let feel convinced?! Why do I think that youre lying to ?! Youre lying to , arent you?! What what did you do to when I wasnt conscious last night?! What exactly did you do to ?!
But Im confident that Vyvyan wont answer even if I ask. If they dont rember either What happened on this last full moon night beca a mystery along with the night after the trip to the hot-springs
What on Earth happened?!
