Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Book 13.5: Chapter 1

Oh, so youre the new Valkyrie. Its a rare for Her Majesty to favour anyone. I hope youll earnestly work here, since youre trusted and possess the competence. The Valkyries are Her Majestys bodyguards, and a squad embodying honour and dignity. I hope you wont embarrass the squad.

R-Roger

Nier was quite shocked when she saw the petite and short woman in front of her. She was a little perplexed as to how a petite woman no different to a kid was able to lead the squad. However, she judged her doubt to be rude, so she didnt ask. Nevertheless, the woman seemingly read her mind. Perhaps, everybody who t her for the first ti wondered the sa thing. As such, the woman nonchalantly chuckled, Nier, I know what youre thinking, but you must bear in mind that even I can pierce your heart if you add the length of a sword to the equation. Therefore, dont underestimate the sword of a child. Moreover, Im around Her Majestys age.

Understood Sorry

Nier felt guilty, since she never expected to be read. Fortunately, the woman wasnt mad; otherwise, shed have lost her chance as soon as she was reborn.

Nier had always been kicked back and forth. It was as though her birth was a mistake. She didnt know if she ever had a blissful life. Her life consisted for all sorts of abandonnt ever since she was born. She didnt know what she did wrong. Her father already passed away. The last glimpse she had of her father was her fathers thin legs, which was a result of lots of legwork. Her father could never pat her on the head with his large and warm hands again. Even so, her mother still used particular stones and dyes to make herself look fancy, and then returned with the stench of wine.

Nier lied next to her late fathers cold body and would sit up to eat the stuff her mom brought back from sowhere. She felt a little more comfortable in winter.

Nier and her late father watched her mother head out every day, co back, sleep and leave again and repeat. Had her fathers corpse not attracted flies and had he not start to sll bad, perhaps her mom never wouldve realised her husband was dead.

Its all your fault! Youre a burden to ! That was what Niers mother most often said to her. Her mother really wanted to abandon her, but she had nowhere to go; thus, she just followed her mothers every step and couldnt leave. She just staggered along behind her mother despite her mother shouting in her face and beating her.

Nier hated her mother. She hated her mother to the very core. She hated the fact that she was the sa gender as her mother. She worried shed turn into another copy of her mother in the future. She wondered if shed beco the type of woman whod act flirtatiously for a mans approval.

Nier always thought, If thats what it ans to be a woman, then I hate all won. Shes my mother, yet she treats this way, treating as if Im a dog for her entertainnt. Shes never cuddled . Her embrace doesnt belong to but n from the depths of obscurity even if they were fat enough to fit inside. I hate her. I hate her. I hate this woman who gave this tragic life. I hate this woman who beat as though she was beating a stray dog. I hate her, and Im scared, too. Im afraid that I will beco a woman whos the sa as her,

The boards of the old and worn down house were decaying. She heard the cheerful laughter and moans that carried the scent of alcohol from the wooden boards. Nier despondently gazed at the sky. It was comparable to her future, a blanket of darkness, where nothing could be seen. Hence, she didnt cry or shriek when two robbers beheaded the head of the two adults. Instead, she calmly stayed silent as she watched the two corpses spurt blood. She didnt care about death. She hugged a corpse and slept with it for a week. Death was no longer a nightmare to the young girl; to the contrary, she viewed it as an escape. But nonetheless, she wasnt relieved. Instead, she was reborn.

The woman in front of Nier rode a horse. She looked at her with her black eyes. The woman picked her up as if she was a dog. The strength Nier felt on her back was warm and dependable. She had never seen a woman as beautiful as the woman behind the black veil. The womans majestic military uniform, corners and edges made her face appear majestic.

The young girl blankly looked at her while the woman looked back at her the sa way. For so reason, Nier felt reassured despite the woman before her grabbing her and treating her as if she was a dog. Blood was dripping off the sword that she hung on her other side.

Are you willing to co with ? asked the woman.

Nier affirmatively nodded. She didnt know why, but she faithfully trusted the woman in spite of it being their first ti eting, and she being another woman. Nier found hope for the first ti when she saw the woman. She felt as though everything would work out as long as she followed the woman. A light finally appeared in Niers dark sky. Nier learnt that not all won were the sa as her mother. There were valiant won in the world, as well. She finally had sothing to work towards. She had an exemplar she wanted to evolve into.

The woman didnt give Nier a ho. Instead, she threw her into a camp. The woman didnt provide her with delicacies. She had to fight with dozens of others for a pitiful amount of food. If she wasnt fierce and vicious, shed starve. She wasnt given a Princess dress. She was given a large male military uniform that had been slightly modified and heavy boots that felt as though theyd snap her leg. She wasnt given toys or flowers, but an ice-cold piece of tal.

The woman didnt give Nier anything other than what she wanted most, and that was the power to rule her destiny, thereby changing her fate. She transford from a weak and feeble girl to a soldier who could easily cut anybody down. She once followed another woman in order to survive despite being beaten and driven off. Eventually, she ruled her destiny.

Nier was bound to forever follow the flow if she lacked strength. She was bound to live a life dependent on others. Thankfully, she acquired the strength to protect what she wanted to protect and punish all those who stood in her way. She could kill anybody standing in her way. Her destiny was finally hers to control. What Nier didnt know, however, was the Empress was soon able to give her an even better gift, one that she could cherish forever.

On every hungry and painful night, where Nier rolled around, she thought about the erect torso and face with distinct lines. She didnt want to beco waste as her mother was. She wanted to beco a great figure as Empress Elizabeth was. She wanted to attain Empress Elizabeths greatness and use her own hands to acquire respect. Empress Elizabeth saved her and gave hope to be reborn. That was enough. She swore to not let the Empress down. Nier was determined to beco her bodyguard, the one Empress Elizabeth was most proud of!

Im finally here, Nier thought. She finally reached the Empresss side when she reached the Valkyries training camp. She finally saw the ray of light for her life. This was too blissful of a feeling for her.

Im aware youre formidable with a sword; however, as a Valkyrie, being good at swordplay alone is pointless. You still have a lot to learn. Needless to say, swordplay is also very important. Are you confident that you can survive until you beco a Valkyrie?

Survive?! Nier froze.

Thats right; survive. This is the Valkyries were talking about, after all. As opposed to calling this training camp a training camp, itd be more accurate to say that its an arena. Here, only the last one standing will have the right to beco Her Majestys bodyguard. There are a total of twenty four people in this camp. Nier, kill the other twenty three, and you shall be qualified to beco Her Majestys official personal bodyguard.

The petite woman before Nier softly laughed, and then turned her head away. Nier was astonished. With a smile, she said, Do your best, Nier. Those here are all elites from different places. Moreover, their feelings for Her Majesty do not pale in comparison to yours, so give it all youve got. You dont have anything you need to pay attention to anyway, isnt that right?

No, she did. Nier touched her sword handle. She still did have sowhere she wanted to spend her efforts on. She still had a destination to reach. She still had sobody she had to protect at all costs! If others saw Her Majesty as a noble Empress and respected her, then Nier saw her as more than an Empress worthy of respect. Empress Elizabeth was the one who gave her a dream and a future. She firmly believed there was no other who loved Her Majesty more than herself. If there was, she was going to kill them.

Nier was determined to be by Her Majestys side. She made up her mind to be by Her Majestys side at all costs. Her Majesty gave her a chance to dictate her fate. Her Majesty was the only person she truly loved. She wanted to be by her side to protect her and look at her.

Now then, do you best, Nier. The woman struggled onto her toes to stroke Niers head before turning around to leave.

Your Majesty, the Valkyries who were raised in the various locations have returned. New Valkyries will be selected tomorrow. By my estimations, I am guessing that eighteen shall survive. However, Your Majesty, I do have sobody in mind that I want to ask if you still rember.

Elizabeth shook her head with a smile: How could I rember everybody when there are so many Valkyries to choose from?

Do you know Nier? Nier? Her feelings for you appear to be without equal.

Nier? Elizabeth made an attempt to recall the na. She looked up and shook her head: No, I dont rember now.

Really? I think that, if she can erge victorious, she will give you a very deep impression. You probably will not forget her again.

You think so?

Elizabeth ca to believe that later on Nier really did leave an unforgettable impression on her
