Mommy Vyvyan.
We returned just as the song for the dance ended. Everybody who was dancing scattered with smiles. The venue was quite chaotic, so nobody noticed our disappearance before. However, Vyvyan seed to instantly notice that Mommy Elizabeth had changed her clothes.
Mommy Vyvyan ca up to and looked at feeling suspicious. I knew why she was so tense, as she, too, changed before the last ball. She was definitely thinking about that after noticing Mommy Elizabeth had changed, as well. She mustve deliberately co over to inquire about it.
Did sothing happen between you and Elizabeth?
No. I shook my head.
I was upfront with Mommy Vyvyan, since I knew that shed definitely believe . Lying would be pointless, after all; Mommy Vyvyan could tell if Im lying. In a quiet tone, she said, Son, rember that its fine for you to do it with Mommy, but you cant have those sorts of thoughts for Elizabeth. Elizabeth is your Mom. The peoples evaluation of you will be ruined by that woman!! Shes your mom in na! If you cant hold it in, you can co to Mommy, but not Elizabeth!
I smiled: Youre my Mom, too. How could I go looking for you when I have those desires? Yes, I did do it with you, but it was force majeure every ti, right?
Was it? It was force majeure? Mommy Vyvyan amorously chuckled, and then gestured for to co over with her finger. She quietly said, That ti a few days ago wasnt force majeure.
That That was because you were too pretty that I couldnt stop myself! It counts as force majeure, too!!
I think you could boil an egg by pressing it against my face at that mont. I quickly picked up a cup of wine by the side and smashed it back to hide the true reason my face was flushed red. Mommy Vyvyan pursed her lips into a smile. She then leaned in all of a sudden and gave a gentle kiss on my face. That was such a trendous shock to that I sprayed the wine out of my mouth.
Sorry! Sorry!!
Standing in front of was Mommy Elizabeth. I just sprayed a mouthful of wine onto the back of her neck. She was speaking to soone, but my mishap infuriated her to the point she crushed her cup in her hand
Mommy Elizabeth interprets spitting wine on her as an insult to her and her power as royalty. It was unacceptable to her. She swiftly spun around and looked at with a gaze so cold I almost dropped to my knees.
Her murderous intent enveloped the entire venue. It was akin to an oppressive aura coming down from overhead and crushing everybody below. Nobody dared to look at Elizabeth. Her aura was incredibly frightening. The red wine running down her hand was akin to blood. She appeared as though she wanted to hack everybody around her to death with a kitchen knife by the side.
Not a soul dared to look directly at Mommy Elizabeth. Though it happened right next to her, nobody dared to look over. As a matter of fact, they were afraid their breathing was too loud. When a lion sets its sights on a gazelle, the best course of action is to lower its head and avoid being next to the lion. The Goddess of War and Destroyer of n emitted a bloody aura. One could sll the smoke and blood of the battlefield standing next to her.
Son?
Elizabeth looked at puzzled, and then wiped away the traces of wine at the corner of my mouth. All of her murderous intent dissipated in an instant. I quickly waved my hand for the band to pick up their instrunts again. However, I could detect the musicians trembling in their playing. Everybody quickly revealed awkward smiles then turned away and avoided looking in our direction again.
Whats wrong? Ah asked Elizabeth
Elizabeth looked at and then at Vyvyan by the side, who was furtively smiling with her lips pursed. Elizabeth then imdiately figured out what happened: I can overlook you spitting wine on , but Im sure Vyvyan was the one who made you spit it, right? What did you two say to be laughing so happily?
It wasnt because of laughter. Vyvyan had a drink of wine and then pulled Elizabeth over to look at her back. She said, How sad. You just got changed and its already stained. You should head back and get changed. Head on back and get changed. Youre the main star of todays banquet. Do you plan on showing yourself in that wet dress stained with red wine?
Elizabeth nodded: Uhm, youre right. Shes right, Son. Ill go and change again Umm, Son, co with .
I lingered for a mont. Just as I prepared to leave with Elizabeth, Vyvyan grabbed and whispered, Son, be wary of rumours about you. You cant follow her out right now. You need to wait a few minutes, and then find an excuse to sneak out while nobody is paying attention. You cant let your future prospects and future itself be destroyed due to a mont of impulsiveness. Heed my advice, Son. Elizabeth has warped ideas for you. You must understand that your future lies here, not with Elizabeth!
I turned my head around to look at Vyvyan. Eyebrows furrowed, I asked, Mom, do you know sothing? Mommy Elizabeth told about not wanting to return to Hilles City. Nevertheless, I dont have a valid excuse at the mont. Mom, could it be that you know sothing?
Vyvyan nodded: Yes, I do. After seeing , Elizabeth seed to have the sa idea as . After all, you only need one ruler. She just needs to have another child. Your father has passed away, so the only person she has now is you.
I shuddered. Mommy Vyvyan gave a nod. She then touched my face: I can help you hide it, but can Elizabeth? Youll both be done for if your affair is exposed. You two cant do that, understood? Son, you mustnt gamble with your future, no matter what!
I peered at the exit. There was nobody looking at . Basically, everybody was going about their own business. Freya moved about in the crowd as a fish to water. She was an adept at socialising. She knew very well what we needed and what they could provide, so I didnt need to stick my nose in.
Rember, Son. Dont waste your present and future. Rember that, Son!Vyvyan warned again in a soft voice as she let go of my arm.
I nodded in response. I then turned to head outside.
I needed to go to Mommy Elizabeth. I knew what she had in mind after Vyvyan filled in. I didnt have anything in particular that I wanted to say to her. To the contrary, I was as calm as though it had nothing to do with . With that said, I knew Mommy Vyvyan was right. Mommy Elizabeth couldnt hide it from everybody. Once discovered, Id basically be crucified to the pillar of sha. After all, we werent in a society that could accept such a thing. It was humanity we were talking about, not elves. It was Mommy Elizabeth we were talking about, not Mommy Vyvyan.
