Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 12 - Chapter 51

Chapter 51

“Please wait here for a while then, Mr . Alex . His Majesty will immediately be here,” said Freya .

Alex nodded in a flustered manner . He took hold of the cup Freya placed in front of him . He spaced out for a moment when he caught a glimpse of Freya’s chest when she bent down to place the cup down . Freya seemed to notice him looking, but she just smiled with her lips pursed instead of making a deal out of it . Embarrassed by his own behaviour, Alex hid his red face and ears . He didn’t dare to look Freya in the face . He tightly gripped the cup despite his hand burning red .

“Mr . Alex?”

“Hmm?!”

“Isn’t it hot?”

“Aah!!!”  Alex aggressively whipped his hand, thereby tipping the cup over, causing the steaming water to spill on him . He shrieked and jumped to his feet .

Freya swiftly grabbed Alex’s hand and softly blew on his hand . She then chuckled: “You got burnt, didn’t you, Mr . Alex? It is all right . It is all right . Do you want to soothe it with ice or would you be fine with just me blowing it? Your face is really red . Did your face get burnt, too? Would you like me to blow it?”

“No . No . No…” Alex looked away .

I stood at the door and looked at Alex, who was tightly holding Freya’s hand . The two of them stood very close together . Freya gently stroked his hand . His face was so red that it looked as if it was going to explode . Freya got even closer to him and gently blew his ear .

“Ah! No… Ah!” Alex intensely shuddered, and then went limp in his chair similarly to a melted snowman .

Freya released Alex with the smile of a victor . She then picked up the cup again and gave him a smile: “I shall go and pour you another cup then, Mr . Alex . Ah, His Majesty has arrived . You two can begin . I will not disturb you . ”

Alex didn’t hear a word she said . He covered his ears as though he went to heaven . His life was complete after the intimate moment .

Freya giggled as she came up to me . She whispered in my ear, “Done . Alex is not muddleheaded . He will not think about anything you say now, Onii-sama . ”

“Who did you learn that trick from?”

Freya looked at me with a smile . In a muffled voice, she answered, “Is the body of a woman not a weapon? I cannot stay by your side for too long; else, this technique will be pointless . I shall take my leave first, Onii-sama . ”

I nodded: “All right . ”

I walked up to Alex and sat opposite him . I’d compare him at the time to a slime monster .   With a smile, I said, “Sorry, Mr . Alex . My sister isn’t used to these jobs . She accidentally burnt you, didn’t she? I give you my sincere apology . I will speak to her about it afterwards . ”

“N-No, I am fine . I am fine . I am fine . Miss Freya did not do anything wrong . Mm, it was all due to my carelessness . I spilt the water, because I was not careful . I am very grateful to Miss Freya . Miss Freya helped me treat the burn . It is not hurting anymore . It is not hurting anymore . ”

“Mr . Alex, blowing on it cannot be considered a treatment…”

“But it truly worked . ”

I chuckled . Alex was excited .

Alex was still a kid as I thought he was . He had no idea what to do in front of the girl he liked . He made every man feel a sense of nostalgia despite the stupidity of it . After all, every man was once stupid in the same way .

“Since you are all right, let’s get to business, then . I have not mentioned the following news to anybody . You’re the first to know, Mr . Alex . I trust you a lot due to your sentiments toward the North . Of course, it is also attributed to your assistance you provided me . Therefore, I am letting you know about this first and hope that you’ll be able to help me . ”

“Please go ahead . ”

Freya walked in between us . Alex, who was planning to recompose himself to debate about the important matter we were about to discuss, went red in the face and ears again . He lowered his head again . Freya placed a new cup of tea down in front of him . Smiling, she said, “Mr . Alex, be more careful this time . It is the same tea . ”

“Ah… Okay, okay, mm…”

Freya straightened up . She looked at Alex, who didn’t dare to look at her, yet was peeking at her, and she softly giggled . She then turned and went to the door, but she didn’t intend to leave . Since Alex kept glancing in that direction, Freya continued to linger at the door and would let him see the bottom of her dress .

Honestly, I began to sympathise with the smitten guy . Naïve and cute Alex finally found a lover for the first time, but she toyed with his feelings .

“How tragic,” I thought .

Being played by the elder-sister type was a fatal dream for men . All I could do was pray Alex best not wake up .

Alex was evidently restless and whimsical . When I first met him, I knew he wasn’t an idiot . He inherited his father’s intelligence, but he used it in the right place . He gave me money and resources in order to atone; nonetheless, there was no chance he’d make a concession if we were to negotiate on equal terms . Consequently, I needed him to be restless and whimsical during our talk . That way, he’d forget what he wanted, I meant, what he needed .

“Mr . Alex, I am now preparing for my coronation . I plan to ascend the throne in the North . I think I have what it takes to rule the North given how I completely transformed it into what it is now, settled the unrest, united the North and brought new life to the North that was in ruins . ”

“Yes . ”

Alex shook his leg . His gaze only stopped on my face for a short moment . It appeared that he wasn’t willing to listen to my drivel .

I already occupied the Imperial Palace . Did I still not have the authority to rule the North with that? Anything he said would’ve been pointless even if he felt I wasn’t qualified to rule the North . For that reason, he’d rather look at the bottom of Freya’s skirt .

“I’ll just come out with it, then . I trust your connections, Mr . Alex . I need you to help me inform all of the nobles who can make it to the Imperial Palace for my coronation ceremony . In addition, I want you to help me with food . Candidly speaking, we don’t have much food in the Imperial City at this present time . After all, this city just went through a disaster last year . The food transported from the South needs to be distributed to other places, so we can’t store too much food in the Imperial City . Having said that, I believe that you nobles must have some food stored away at home . I, therefore, hope you can provide us with some . ”

Alex nodded: “Sure . There are no problems with that . That being said, it would be pushing it if our family, alone, had to supply food . I can convince them to bring food into the Imperial City with them . But do you not intend to go on a tour?”

“No, I don’t plan to waste money on that . Plus, if you can all come, doesn’t that mean the North supports me? Though it’s fine to bring food along, I hope you can prepare some for us beforehand . Can you do that as soon as possible?”

“That much food…? Mm…”

Freya gently whipped her skirt . While carrying the tray of tea, she looked in our direction and revealed a short-lasting charming smile .

Alex aggressively clenched his teeth and replied, “No problem . ”

I stood： Thank you very much for your assistance, Mr . Alex . I will not forget your assistance . Please allow Freya to take care of you now . I still have other business . ”

“Sure! Sure!!! No problem!! I will stay with Freya for a while! No problem!!”
