Wake up. Wake up, Son. Wake up.
I opened my eyes and, in a bleary state, checked my surroundings. I didnt know when I fell asleep. The promise of the rising sun ca after the velvety night had its say. The golden orb and land prepared to rest once more. It no longer beat on my skin as it did at noon. In fact, the air outside was slightly cold.
Mom gently shook my shoulders. The book on my chest slid off. I sat up. My back ached a little as I slept in a chair. My teacup was no longer hot. The fruit was still glimring thanks to the last hues of red from the entity on the horizon. I looked at Mom with a tinge of bewildernt then stood up and slowly stretched my back out. My back cracked refreshingly. My blanket slid down. I picked it up and put it on the chair. I asked Mom, how long have I slept for?
Mom stroked my head. She pitifully answered, Im not sure, either. You mightve fallen asleep not long after we left. Son, if you want to sleep, then sleep on the bed. Its not good for you to sleep on the chair, and its cold, isnt it?
Its not bad. Mom, did you sleep until now, as well?
Mom smiled: Uhm. The kids slept until now, as well. With the girls by my side, I feel so blissful that I dont want to wake up. I ca over after they woke up to find you asleep, to my surprise. I woke you up because I was worried youd be cold and uncomfortable sleeping in the chair.
Im all right. I dont even know when I fell asleep I rember I was reading a book.
I picked up the book. I felt ashad after I saw it, for I discovered that I passed out after having read practically nothing. Mommy Vyvyan touched the teacup then called a maid to switch it for a new hot cup. She sat down next to and looked at the letter in front of : Son, whats the letter about?
Oh, the maid handed it to . Its addressed to you. I havent opened it, so I dont know what its about myself.
I handed Mom the letter. She took a look. An imposing look flitted across her beautiful face: It seems that humans have learnt to use their brains and wont barge into my palace without permission. Mm, lets see what they said. It shouldnt be anything major. Hence, you dont need to feel nervous, Son.
I nodded: Mom, is sothing happening here?
Didnt Mommy already tell you? Theres nothing. There would never be anything major here. Dont worry. Mommys subordinates were just giving a mission report pertaining to investigations in the forest. The forest is never peaceful, after all. Our Galadriel Tribe doesnt just manage elves but also the forest.
I see. It sounds as though I wont be able to help.
While I was a mber of the Galadriel tribe and the only descendant, I knew squat about mana. I never studied it before, after all. Troy also had a berserk mana condition previously, while Mommy Vyvyan never taught him how to utilise magic. Subsequently, I had no clue how to resolve mana problems in the forest.
With a curve to her lips, Mom caressed my head: Exactly, so dont worry. Leave it to Mommy. Its nothing important, so just trust Mommy with it.
Is it really nothing important?
Mom gave a smile. Then, she scrunched the letter up and threw it into the fire: Of course not. Its just that the mana status in the forest has changed. Its probably due to so species undergoing so changes. It might be a good thing for all we know, but it might also be bad. Its essentially an annual occurrence now, which is why Mommy needs to go and take a look.
I see. Well, I wont get involved, then I cant solve mana problems, anyway Itll only make matters worse if I get in your way.
Satisfied with my response, Mom instinctively nodded in approval: Which is why you should just leave it to Mommy. Here, youre my son. As my son, you dont need to worry about this. This is sothing Mommy needs to worry about. Oh, your tea is here. Do you want any refreshnts?
I picked up the hot tea and took a sip. The fragrant scent of the tea helped sober up. Additionally, it loosened up my sowhat stiff joints. It felt as though my blood finally began to circulate. Mom picked up a fruit and popped it in her mouth. Next, she held a piece up to my mouth. I opened up for her to feed . The sweet taste instantly dispersed and rewarded my entire mouth.
As I was savouring the taste, Lucia ca over with her daughter in her arms. She was surprised to find there drinking tea: Your Highness, I never thought you would be here. I was prepared to hear Her Highness agitated yelling and find you missing.
Do you see as a man who would ignore your safety and run around, instead?
Are you not? Lucia sarcastically stressed with her lips pursed into a smile.
Lucia ca over and kissed on cheek. I reciprocated the kiss and took hold of Vera at the sa ti. Vera hugged around my neck. She blinked her large eyes as she looked at Mommy Vyvyan. Mom narrowed her eyes to play with Vera, which led to Vera cackling. I sat down, and Lucia sat down next to . Lucia queried, Your Highness, do you have any plans tomorrow?
Uh, no. I dont have any changes to my schedule during my stay. You all like staying at ho, so havent I been doing just that?
Lucia smiled: It would be best if you could stand it, but Im sure that, if you continue to hold it in for a prolonged period, then you might do sothing even more troubling later on. Your Highness, lets go out for a stroll at noon tomorrow with just the two of us. Lets stroll around in Duargana as we did in the past. Weve left Duargana for a long ti. Therefore, things mightve changed considerably by now.
Thats a good idea. Vera, Nona and I will be very happy to spend ti together, too, approved Mommy Vyvyan. She then narrowed her eyes and warned, In saying that, Son, you should know the rules, right? Do not stay out later than your curfew; otherwise, Ill personally co looking for you.
I nodded: I know You all keep attacking with this. It hurts my feelings.
If you learn to not endanger yourself after getting hurt, Mommy thinks thatd actually be a good thing.
