Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 12 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Mommy Elizabeth was dressed in a black evening dress that highlighted her white skin and obsidian eyes . Her long black hair was behind her, highlighting the black material . The design of the dress itself was similar to Vyvyan’s . However, it was less revealing .

Judging from her choice of style, Mommy Elizabeth wasn’t fond of revealing clothes . I wasn’t sure if it was due to the design of the dress or not, but it was clear that it was a bit tight, making Mommy Elizabeth’s body lines particularly prominent . In fact, it forced the black gem at her chest to sit on top of her breasts, while her hips looked as though they suffocated .

Mommy Elizabeth looked at me while twiddling with her hair . In a slightly nervous tone, she said, “To be honest… This is Mommy’s first time trying this sort of clothes… It feels a bit tight… I can’t hang the gem down…”

Mom tugged on the gem at her chest . It seemed as though she wanted to adjust her collar . I quickly reached my hand out to stop her dangerous action by holding her hand .

That was a dangerous action . Too dangerous . If she tugged it, they might jiggle…  That was too scary .

“Castell had it made according to my measurements…”

Mommy Elizabeth froze stiff . She blankly looked at me, and then at her own body . She clenched her teeth and angrily exclaimed, “Castell!! He must be sick of living! Listen, Son, listen . I haven’t gotten fat! I swear, I haven’t gained weight! It’s just… Mm… Castell definitely got my measurements wrong! He definitely got the wrong measurements! It’s definitely because he gave them the wrong measurements!”

I chuckled . With a smile, I said, “It’s fine . I know, Mom . You’re not fat . You’re not fat . You’re not fat . Your dress seems a bit too tight, but I think that you look very pretty in it . How about going back to change?”

“Change?” Elizabeth looked at herself and then me . She titled her head: “I think that this dress looks quite nice… What do you think, Son? If possible, Mommy doesn’t want to waste your time . Being late would give you grief, after all, wouldn’t it?”

“I think it’s very becoming of you . ”

Elizabeth smiled in an embarrassed manner then looked at me again . She swept her hair aside, and then hooked her arm around mine . With a smile, she said, “Son, you’re getting better and better at sweet talking . Mommy is very happy, son . Mommy doesn’t need to take care of others this time, so Mommy wants to have fun this time . ”

“Uhm, have fun while you’re here, Mom . The North is my territory . You’re my Mom and my guest, so you don’t need to do a thing . ”

Mom stroked my face and smiled: “Mommy has to do something for you, son . Mommy can’t let you continue to wear yourself out this way, son . You fell asleep so fast yesterday and didn’t even wake . That’s proof of how tired you are . I’m here now, so I won’t let you be so tired . I must do my best to help you, Son… After all, I can’t stay here for too long . ”

“Mom…”

“I have to return to Hills City . Hills City needs me . ”

Mom looked melancholic . Her reluctance to part and sorrow was evident in her eyes . I held her hand, while she kept her eyes on me . She gently bumped her forehead on mine . Tone gentle, she said, “Mommy can’t help it . Mommy can defeat all of the enemies in this world . Mommy dares to fight them regardless of how formidable they may be . Nonetheless, I have never defeated myself . ”

“Mom, I made a promise to you . I’ll definitely help you break that bird cage . ”

Mommy Elizabeth shook her head: “It’s impossible . It’s impossible, Son . Mommy personally constructed that cage . Mommy has reinforced the cage with every passing year . Mommy used the sturdiest cage in the entire empire . If you want to break the cage, you’ll have to break the empire . ”

Mom shook her head . She then pressed her forehead back onto mine . She pulled her hand out of my grip and clasped my face: “Additionally, it’s not just Mommy . The same goes for you . Mommy isn’t Vyvyan . Sometimes, Vyvyan’s long lifespan is a form of suffering, but right now, I feel that her long lifespan is fantastic . Mommy can tell mommy is old now when Mommy sees you . If Mommy ages and passes away, Mommy will have to entrust the empire to you . ”

“…” I didn’t respond . I just looked at Mom .

Mom looked into my eyes and elaborated in a soft voice, “This bird cage isn’t just built to lock me in, Son . It’s built to lock our entire family in; not just me, but also you and your child . Hilles City is a curse against us . Sometimes, I truly hate myself for naming that city . I shouldn’t have named it The Phoenix’s Nest, but Hell’s Prison . A land of death!”

“Mom…”

“Son… Sorry… Sorry… But, it’s fine . It’s fine, Son . It’s fine… Mommy will do Mommy’s best to take care of you . Mommy must give up some things for the empire, so… Sorry…”

I didn’t let her continue . I grabbed a firm hold of her hand and kissed her lips . She froze up for a moment . It was the first time I felt her lips were so incredibly cold . She froze as if she was a block of wood, but I didn’t give up, persisting with my kiss .

I finally stopped after I couldn’t breathe . I gasped for air, and then tried to kiss her again, but she turned her head away to reject me . “Son… That’s enough…”

A feeling of puzzlement came over me . She showed the side of her face to me . Her face was red, but it was clear that it wasn’t red makeup . She wiped her lips and softly pouted: “You’ll ruin my lipstick… Son… Don’t…”

“All right . ” I nodded then asked, “So we’ll continue after you remove your makeup?”

Mom pinched my face . She smiled and replied, “No way . I’m not your wife, Son . That trick of yours is useless against me . Stop messing around, Son . Go and attend to the banquet . Mommy has told you a lot . Don’t be too sad, Son . Mommy will still love your child despite not being able to raise your child . ”

“Mom, I’ll help you break that bird cage . ”

I released Mom, and then pressed my hand on the wall . Normally speaking, it’d be as easy as the click of a finger for Mom to get away from me, but she didn’t escape . I took a step back for her to wrap her arm around mine . After a breath’s time, my arm was buried between her warm valleys . Their softness and warmth covered my arm in a flash .

Mom giggled: “Don’t be silly, Son . It’s a joyous night tonight . Son, don’t think about those things . Let’s enjoy tonight . Don’t go thinking about those pointless things . ”

I watched her purse her lips into a smile, evening out her lipstick a little . It wasn’t actually spoilt, though . She wore a smile, but her eyelashes were slightly wet .

Mom didn’t believe I could break the cage . From the empire’s perspective, Mom’s departure was the equivalent of the main system shutting down . That, subsequently, meant the collapse of the empire .

Mom didn’t believe that I can break it . To be absolutely honest, I didn’t have faith in myself, either . Regardless, I had to make the impossible possible for my mom, because she was my mom, my most dear mom .
