All of my luggage as well as all other matters had been prepared. My next step was to head to Socina City.
I couldnt look Elizabeth straight in the face after the festival. Elizabeth was well aware of my distress, though, so she didnt ntion it once. To be honest, I couldnt co to grips with the fact that I confessed to my mother. I honestly didnt know that it was Elizabeth. Elizabeths mouth felt and tasted the exact sa as Niers, and her lips were just as soft. I couldnt tell at all.
Luckily, my wives didnt know or pay attention to it.
I need sothing to distract myself with right now, so that I can stop thinking about it.
But I must say Moms lips are really soft Theyre as impressive as Niers and Lucias. No wonder why I was so passionate when we kissed.
Freya ca into my bedroom and made a small bow, Onii-sama, you can set out tomorrow. Everything is prepared and the guards are ready, as well.
I looked at Freya and replied, All right, got it. Thank you, Freya. But, I didnt see you at the festival last night. Did you not co?
Freya looked at in an odd way and pouted, Ah, no I did go. I cannot believe you dare ntion that. I cannot believe you did not recognise !
Ah, Im sorry, Im sorry. There were too many people, so I didnt see you. But I swear, I earnestly searched for you. Its just that I didnt end up finding you. It absolutely wasnt because I didnt search!
Hmm I shall trust you, then, Onii-sama. Freya chuckled, and then continued, The fireworks I asked the elves to create this ti were not bad, were they? They were able to add shapes and colours to it as you saw.
Indeed, they were very nice.
I nodded then walked up to Freya. I rubbed her small head and went on, Freya, you and Her Majesty will be the only ones in the palace when I head to Socina this ti. Her Majesty is not good at taking care of people. Therefore, Ill need to rely on you to look after Nier and Lucia. Luna is no longer here, so there are no personal servants in the room. As such, Ill have to bother you.
Freya nodded. She then proudly responded, That is fine. Leave it to , Onii-sama! There will be no problems, for I have taken care of them for a long ti already! The Princesses bellies are starting to protrude now. I will soon be able to see your child, right?! I am looking forward to it! You and the Princess are both so good looking; therefore, your child must be very cute, too.
I laughed then firmly rubbed her head. I said, Its still too soon to say that. Nevertheless, after my child is born, I wont be running around outside so much anymore. How do I put it? I feel as though Im running out of ti.
You need not worry, Onii-sama! My responsibility is to be responsible for your safety and your career. It is fine if you need to look after your family, as I am your sister!
Your failure of a brother is always bothering you.
That allows to stay by your side without worry.
Freya hugged with a smile, and then looked up at . With a smile she said, Onii-sama, depend on . Depend on , Onii-sama. That way, I can think that you need , and consequently let continue to stay by your side because I do not have any right to, otherwise
You do and will always have the right, because you are my sister, my most beloved sister.
I cut Freya off as I pulled her into my tight embrace. She shuddered, and then hesitantly wrapped her arms around my waist. I didnt resist her. Freya hugged with reassurance. She smiled as she leaned into my chest and tightened her arms. She softly said, Uhm I know. I knowThank you brother You, too, are my most beloved brother
================
So, what exactly happened?! Why did I receive an ergency about an attack while I was at Troy City?! It was just a pack of trolls, and yet you dared to call back?! Didnt I give you the authority to deal with them?! You called back from my sons side just because of a single attack?!
Vyvyan aggressively hurled the cup in her hand toward the elders. She sat in her throne feeling frustrated, as she looked at the elders trembling below. The elders exchanged glances with each other. One of them then fearfully spoke up, Your Highness we are very sorry it is just that the attacking force was honestly too big. Both of our armies were attacked Based on their numbers, they were more than all of the hordes that attacked in winter combined
Thats bound to happen in spring. Isnt this an annual occurrence now?
Vyvyan tugged her blonde hair with irritation. She bit down on her lip and exclaid, Just let the vanguard armies handle it. Are you telling that you want to personally head up North? I dont know what the situation is when Im in the Imperial Capital. If I hastily give commands, it will only affect our frontlines judgent!
No that is not what I an Your Highness it is just just the horde this ti was too large. It was far larger than previous hordes. We were worried that, perhaps, the Northern tribes wanted to attack us, and hence, we called you back.
Vyvyan lingered for a mont, and then sat up straight. She looked at the elders below while contemplating to herself in silence for a long ti.
Umm Your Highness We feel that it is sowhat dangerous. Based on the magnitude and frequency of their attacks, two armies alone are not enough to handle them If this is a scouting mission before their actual attack, we will be at too much risk. Your army is still stationed at humanitys border right now. Thus we called for you to co back and personally assu command
Vyvyan nodded. She stood up, Youre right. I apologise for my irritation at the start. We should, indeed, take heed here. I shall now order the army in the South to return to the North. Additionally, I shall have all armies in battle status. This attack was a little dangerous, so I shall personally prepare to do battle at any ti as w(ell)-
Vyvyan suddenly stopped, thereby leaving her sentence unfinished. She quickly pressed her hand onto her belly, and then took back what she said. She wore a complex expression. After a short pause, she sighed, I shall stay inside the Imperial Capital. I have not been feeling well recently, so I cannot move about carelessly. Also, have the paths that lead here been sealed off?
The elders responded with awkwardness, Yes, they have. However, we can only guarantee that we elves will not be attacked. As for humanity We are unable to help there.
Ah Im aware of that. Ill go and see Elizabeth about that.
Vyvyan nodded before continuing, Rember, do not slack with regards to this. We must ensure that our armies are ready to go to battle at all tis. I think that if they want more than simply just food, then they might be after our spring water. We cannot lose our elven spring no matter what! We must not lose it!
Understood!
