I woke up the next day to find Mom and I tightly locked in an embrace on the ground. The scent of wood and the natural cold sensation from the floor was in contact with our skin. I guess we embraced so tightly in response to the cold. We ended up on the floor, because we went wild. It was impossible to lie in the ss we made on the bed.
I almost worked myself to death. Whenever I was on the verge of passing out, I would find Moms saliva in my mouth again, which would wake up, and then Id continue straddling Moms hips. We did it in every position imaginable without ever taking breaks, because wasting a single second was torture to us, since we didnt know when wed et again.
Perhaps we would never et again. Perhaps I could co back after finding a better thod. Mommy Vyvyan was aware I wasnt willing to beco an ignoble elf. She also didnt want for to lose my rationality and conscience, consequently becoming a monster that lived off blood. I wasnt willing to beco that sort of monster. Vyvyan had to give a dignified funeral for my reputation. She had to, at least, let visit the places I lived, fought, cried, loved and lived before. That was my own idea and my final wish. Id be able to rest in peace after I bid farewell to all of those things.
Gods mana was, indeed, powerful. It circulated around in my body after I absorbed it, but that also left teeth marks on Moms belly button. I never thought Mom would orgasm again when I sucked the mana from her. I suppose her belly button was her most sensitive erogenous zone.
The two of us opened our eyes at virtually the sa mont; the sunlight outside woke us. With a soft laugh, I said, Good morning. Welco back, Mom.
Mom lingered for a mont before softly giggling and responding. She kissed on the tip of my nose and bit in a teasing manner. Next to my ear, she whispered, Good morning, my most beloved son.
Mm, its morning now, I said in a soft voice while gazing at the sun outside.
Mommy Vyvyan seed to choke on her words. However, she quickly wore on a smile with a tinge of sorrow: Yeah, its morning
Mommy Vyvyan didnt want to see the sun then, as it was the sign of departure. It was the last sunrise from outside, highlighting the sorrow in Moms heart.
I was Moms only child, but I had to bid her farewell face to face. I failed as a child. I kept saying I loved her. In reality, unfortunately, I couldnt stay alive for her. All Mom wanted was to see live, yet I couldnt make it a reality.
Sotis you have to pay with your life, but when I wanted to pay with my life, I didnt think of my mother. I felt very guilty about that. Mom was always considerate of , yet I never considered her feelings. I think those main protagonists without parents are the right way to go. Otherwise, they wouldnt have the courage and determination to put their life on the line. Throwing away your life as I did when I had a mother is considered unfilial as a child.
Mommy will go and prepare breakfast for you.
After a short silence, Vyvyan stood up. She picked up her clothes and faced with her back.
It was the first ti I felt Mom looked old and helpless. I really wanted to give her a tight back hug. I even tried to attempt it, but I knew I wouldnt be able to resolutely die if I did. Instead, Id definitely accept Moms suggestion and beco the parasite of Duargana, using the mana of others to sustain my own life. I didnt want to live that sort of life, and I didnt want to be such a filthy soul. After my first eting with Mommy Vyvyan, she told death wasnt scary but never having lived was.
Was I in a position to say that I lived? I really did once live. I lived for my family, the continent and the world. That was enough for . Living a life with integrity and dying with dignity is all I could ask for. Nobody would criticise in the future. I had no regrets. That was good enough. That was why I didnt get up.
Mom seed to be waiting for ; that would explain her deliberate slow pace. I really wanted her to hurry, for the way she she treated was essentially torture. She soon gave up,
though. She got dressed and gently shut the door behind her when she left as if nothing happened.

*Splash!*
Nier splashed water on the face of the maid she captured, waking the unconscious maid. The maid vigorously shook her head. Startled upon seeing Nier and Tanya, she yelled, What are you doing?!! What exactly are you trying to do?! Are you those kidnappers who kidnap young girls to sell to humanity?! This is Duargana! This is Queen Vyvyans Imperial City! What are you trying to do?!
Shut up. We know Vyvyan better than you do. Queen Vyvyan is your Queen, but shes my husbands mother, stated Nier, after she grabbed the maids chin out of frustration. Voice frigid, she continued, Im Prince Troys wife, his human wife. My child is Daisy. I cant possibly lie to you, since I have no reason to. Now, I need you to tell , do you know where my husband is?
The maid revealed a dumbfounded expression. Niers terrifying gaze left her lost for words. She didnt believe the human before her was His Highnesss wife. In her mind, his wife shouldve been Miss Lucia. The Elven Prince should be with an elf, after all. Nier had no reason to lie to her, nevertheless..
I asked you: is my husband in the elven Imperial Palace or not?!! Nier didnt have the patience to wait for her to be convinced, so she pressed her sword up against the maids chest: If you dont speak, Ill cut off your childs future food source. Dont all you elves want to beco mothers? You want to test ?
Dont!! Dont!!!
Nier learnt about elves over ti. You could say Nier knew them too well. For an elf females in particular threatening to kill them was usually ineffective, but if you threatened them with their motherhood, female elves would feel fearful, for their motherly instincts motivated them to beco mothers.
If you dont want to hurt you, then tell , has my husband returned or not?!!
No! He hasnt!! His Highness and Her Highness havent returned. Wait. No. Her Highness returned once and called a group of maids, but she never ca back again after. Thats all! Im telling the truth! Im honestly telling the truth!! Please spare ! The maid belted out everything she knew as she cried.
Nier was confident the maid wasnt lying. She was taught interrogation techniques as a Valkyrie. She grabbed the maids collar and thundered, Where are they?! Where did Vyvyan call the maids to?! Where exactly is my husband?!!
The Galadriel Tribes villa! I only know that much! They should be there!!
Nier knocked the maid out with a punch, and then placed her onto a bed by the side. She took in a deep breath and peered outside with a hint of resentnt. She muttered, It appears well have to go to that villa next. Frankly, I dont really want to go there.
Why? asked Tanya.
Nier sighed: Because that place isnt a place with happy mories for His Majesty. Its very close to where His Majesty buried Luna, so Im sure he wouldnt be willing to go there again.
Tanya turned around and looked at Nier the sa way. Calmly, she responded, But you will still go there if His Majesty is there, regardless.
Nier proudly and solemnly nodded: Of course. Im His Majestys wife. I will go wherever His Majesty goes. Since we know where he is now, lets head out. I dont want to wait for another second.
Tanya nodded: , too.
The two of them swiftly left the hotel and wore on their hoods again before vanishing into the elven Imperial Capital.
=========
There was a flower field before . I slowly rode my horse up to a tall hill.
I hadnt been back in a long ti, yet it was still just as I rembered it. The sea of flowers wouldnt ever change no matter when. The flourishing flower field would never disappear regardless of how bloody, dangerous and turbulent the world outside was. The flowers were still leisurely dancing in the wind, carrying along their charm and naivety that didnt care for the world. The flower field drowned my horses hooves. It was as if they were sowhat angry with disturbing their peace. I looked around in a sluggish manner.
While I was confident Id never forget the way, I still needed to discern things when I was in the middle of a flower field that was identical on all sides. It didnt take too long this ti, however, for I was too familiar with it. The scene and the space had appeared in my dreams countless tis. I knelt there countless tis in my dreams. I literally rembered every flower petal in the vicinity in my dreams. However, the small tombstone was still the sa as always in my dreams.
Lunas faint smile still wandered among the flower field. Sadly, the small tombstone was covered in dust. The small mound of dirt covered the flowers. It seed as though the flowers there were beautiful thanks to Luna and her smile.
Luna I slowly dismounted. I looked at the small tombstone and lightly sat down. I stroked the ice-cold stone: Long-ti no see
