I dont know what happened in the carriage, but after they got out, Elizabeth didnt look well. Without saying a word and while ignoring everybodys gaze, she pulled straight into her embrace. She gave a gentle kiss on my forehead then in her hoarse voice asked, My son just how many burdens have you carried for that so-called bloodline? How much did you have to put up with?
Huh?
I had no idea what Mommy Elizabeth was talking about. I was honestly baffled. Mommy Elizabeth didnt explain anything; instead, she winsoly stroked my head, completely ignoring the gazes of the Valkyries behind her and the denizens. I didnt care, though. Mommy Elizabeth is about my height. Other than having to bend at the knees a little when she pulled into her bosom, it was quite nice.
Your Majesty!
Alice cleared her throat in a muffled voice from behind. Elizabeth let go of , and then scrubbed my head. She gently cleared her throat then looked at and said, Have you t all of the rulers of the vassal states? Son, were there any lords you are particularly interested in? I think that the one you are most interested in will definitely be the most outstanding among them.
I chuckled.
Frankly, I could split the lords Ive t over the last three days into three categories. The first category is the ones who clearly have a good impression of . Karana and Nara belong to this category. The second category is those who dont hate . They politely try to ingratiate themselves with . Prince Bagrott is one such example. The last category is those who are clearly hostile towards . They view Castor as their leader, and of course, that includes their regent and a few lords from the desert, because I killed their people and supported Karnashun.
Elizabeth and Vyvyan walked next to . Lucia and Nier went off to the room to prepare first. I answered Mommy Elizabeth as we walked. Elizabeth wore an ambiguous smile as she patiently listened to everything I had to say. I didnt finish until we arrived at her room and sat down.
Son, your performance has been quite good to be able to know all of the lords and appropriately handle that matter. Consoled, Elizabeth stroked my head, and then said, Son, you need not worry. You cant get everyone to like you. Dislike isnt a useless emotion. You just need to think about how to make those who hate you, fear you.
Vyvyan suddenly hugged from behind. I felt sothing heavy pressed down on my head. Vyvyan wrapped her arm around to my chest and said, You humans matters sure are complicated. If we were in the elven lands, Id just need to crown my son. Theres no dislike or not dislike with us.
Bloodlines are everything for you elves, after all. Humans birth origins dont cause them to be affixed to a certain status, though. Humans can get everything they want through their own efforts, and therefore naturally need power to maintain everything of theirs, too. What you have is oppression, while we have power balances.
Vyvyan pouted and responded, I feel so sorry for my son right now. He hasnt even gotten any good rest this whole entire ti. Look at how thin he has beco. Elizabeth, my son didnt co here to suffer senselessly. I really want to duel you right now. I want to separate your neck into as many pieces as my son has lost in weight.
A heavy and intense murderous intent ca from behind . Vyvyan was serious
Elizabeth stroked my face while feeling apologetic, too. She sighed, I dont want my son to suffer, either; nevertheless, he must undergo this experience to train himself. Son, dont bla Mommy. Mommy doesnt want to be so heartless, either, but but you truly do need to walk this part of your journey.
Speaking of which, arent you doing this just so that you can abdicate the throne and live your own life? Is that what a mother should be doing?! Isnt this the most selfish idea youve had? You accuse of being unlike a mother while I do everything for my childs happiness! I do everything for the sake of letting him be with Lucia and for the sake of allowing him to live happily forever. I do everything for my son! You do everything for yourself! You dont love Troy! You just want to give your lonely self a family!
Vyvyan randomly got angry.
Actually, Im certain they had an intense argunt already and this is just the continuation of it. The two of them arguing is normal. I wouldnt be surprised if they t with their armies at this point. Except, I have no idea what theyre arguing about this ti.
Im different to you!!
Elizabeth jumped up and roared back. She yanked out of Vyvyans arms and pulled tightly into her bosom, thereby nearly asphyxiating . She looked at Vyvyan and retorted, You can accompany my son until the end, but I cant. I only have a few decades of life. This is the only ti I can spend with my son. I didnt fulfil the duties as his mother when he was young, so I want to make up for my own mistake. I want to keep my son company at his side. Is that strange of to desire so?! Is it selfish?! I just want to take care of my son! I just want that sort of life!
Vyvyan looked back at Elizabeth. She took in a deep breath, clenched her teeth and thundered, My son has been put in danger here with you over and over! Over and over! You said youd protect him well every ti, but he cos back covered in wounds every single ti! Arent you the Empress?! Arent you the leader of this empire? If you cant even guarantee my sons safety, by what ans are you going to protect him?! Youre a failure of a mother! How are you going to look after him?! My son has been hurt here ti and ti again! And I bet hell get hurt again this ti!
He wont!
Elizabeth locked in her tightly embrace as if she was hanging onto her last straws. She choked on her words as she said, I wont let son be in danger. Im by his side this ti. I will make sure that I am a qualified mother. I will protect my son. I will protect my son even if it costs my life I want to live with my son way too much I I dont have mories of my son Im truly afraid that I wont even have a mory worth recalling when I get old I I
Elizabeth started to tear up. I gently hugged Elizabeth, who was crying, and gently stroked her back. I then looked at Mom and sincerely said, Mom, dont worry. I chose all of this myself. Even if there is danger and even if its tiring, I can make it through it, because I dont want to just be a kid at your sides. I want to beco a great person as you two, as well!
Vyvyan looked at with a blank look. She wore a very complex expression as though she was complaining but at the sa ti praising, as well as a nostalgic feeling from her soul. It was akin to the spectre of reason. She silently looked at . A mont afterwards, she looked up at and gently stroked my head. She said, Mommy wont stop you, son. Youre Mommys best son, and the best man in Mommys heart, but if you feel that humanity doesnt suit you, co back to the elven side You can beco an even greater Elven King there
