Chapter 61

When I came to again, I saw a timber ceiling . The smell of the sea around me was gone . Instead, a smell I couldn’t be any more familiar with welcomed me; it was the smell of the elven forest . The familiar fragrance lingered by the tip of my nose . It was the same as when I woke up in this world for the first time and saw Mommy Vyvyan .



I was at the elven forest except I wasn’t sure where in the elven lands . I wouldn’t be surprised if I was in the Galadriel Tribe’s cemetery . However, before my eyes right now was an oddly familiar ceiling . I’d never been there before, yet I couldn’t help but feel I had been there in the past .

I wanted to sit up, only to discover that I couldn’t budge . I didn’t know how long it had been since I was last awake . All I could recall was Vyvyan shoving Elizabeth away, and they fought in front of me, again . Mommy Vyvyan didn’t hesitate to use magic to smash Mommy Elizabeth into the cabin . She ignored Nier and Lucia, who tried to stop her, and threw them both off the ship . She then pulled me over and took off with Instant Transmission . The immense pressure of utilising Instant Transmission caused me to instantly lose conscious .

Nothing would convince Vyvyan to give up in her current state . Everything would fall on deaf ears; all lives were insignificant . She’d dare to kill anybody who stopped her . She wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest even if it was her old friend or her Lucia .

The sound of footsteps closed in . Mommy Vyvyan opened the timber door in front of me . Her eyes were red, and she wore a gloomy smile . She was holding a steaming bowl of soup . She sat down by the side of the bed and stroked my head: “Son, how do you feel now?”



“I still… can’t move…”

Mommy Vyvyan raised the bowl up with a smile: “That’s all right . I’ll definitely be able to save you as long as you’re alive, Son . I definitely will . Don’t worry . You’ll be fine as long as you’re by Mommy’s side . You’ll survive, as long as you’re by Mommy’s side . Mommy will do everything to save you even if it costs my life . ”

“Mom… How exactly… am I…?”

“Have some soup first, Son . There’s only the two of us now . ” Vyvyan raised the spoon and blew it . She fed me and revealed a blissful smile . Voice soft, she added, “Just as in the past, Son . Just as in the past . There’s only the two of us . It’s enough with Mommy looking after you . You just need to give Mommy a smile . Mommy will feel fulfilled if Mommy can see your smile . We can continue living, even if it’s just us…”

“M-My…”



“Don’t worry all that, Son . ” Vyvyan fed me again before I could finish . The sweet and familiar taste of the soup dispersed in my mouth . She solemnly continued, “Son, you’re living in a dead body . Your body can no longer produce mana, which means that you’re dead as an elf . Son, Mommy doesn’t need the elven throne or the Galadriel Tribe anymore . Mommy just wants you… Mommy just wants you, Mommy’s most dear son . Son, Mommy is your Mommy, and you’re Mommy’s son . Let’s spend our entire life here!”


“I want to go back… to the North… My children…”

“You can’t return in your current state!” exclaimed Mommy Vyvyan . She bent over and looked at me eyes with a serious look . With a broken heart, she explained, “Son, didn’t Mommy tell you? Your body is no longer capable of producing mana . Think about the day you were attacked with the mana dissolving potion . Can you still remember it? You couldn’t even move at the time . You’re in the same state now . An elf without mana is the same as a human without blood .   You can’t move anymore, Son! You’re now no different… to a corpse… You’re only meagrely hanging on by a thread, since you’re half-elf… Do you know… how much heart wrenching it is… to see you in this state…?”

I had no response . A deeply seated sense of despair seeped into Mommy Vyvyan’s eyes . I opened my mouth in a dumbfounded manner, but couldn’t utter a word . Her cold tears landed on my face and the bowl in her hands, causing soup to splash . Her hands quivered . She grabbed my shoulder tightly and sobbed, “Mommy can only take you away . You must stay by Mommy’s side . Mommy needs to replenish your mana daily for you to move . Your body is now incapable of producing mana, so you need to let Mommy transfer mana to your every night . That’s the only way you’ll see another tomorrow…”

“Mom…”

“It’s all right, Son . You know that you’re actually a dark elf, right? You’re the same as Mera . We can acquire mana through sucking the blood of others . ”

Mommy Vyvyan gently dipped her finger into my mouth and touched my teeth . Quietly, she said, “Ordinary replenishment methods won’t be enough to replenish so much mana . You, therefore, need to suck blood . You need Mommy’s blood . Mommy doesn’t mind . Mommy won’t mind even if you suck Mommy dry . Mommy just wants you to be by Mommy’s side as you were in the past . Son, there’s one more way and that is to give birth to you again, essentially reliving your life . You can choose between these two options, Son . ”

“Is there no other way…?” I asked feeling dumbfounded . If it was up to me, I’d choose neither .

“No . Those are the only two methods Mommy can use to protect and save you . There are Mommy’s only two options…”

Mom gently placed her hand on my chest . I didn’t even know if my heart was still beating or not . Mom’s despairing and sad expression was before me . She wiped her tears and sniffled . She picked up the bowl by the side: “Come, Son, have this soup, and then continue resting . You can suck Mommy’s blood tonight . Mommy has a very, very long lifespan . Mommy can wait for the day your life ends . You should live in peace by Mommy’s side . Mommy won’t let you die until that day . Mommy will join you after you leave . Mommy will always be by your side to protect you no matter where you are . Mommy will definitely be there…”

I had never seen Mommy Vyvyan so sad . It was the look of despair and pain a mother wore when she looked at her child who had reached their deathbed before her . Her body couldn’t contain her despair . Her blue eyes lacked the spirit they once had . Her gaze of despair caused my heart to writhe over and over . Reluctance to part and regret echoed in my chest . I could feel my tears slowly rising to the surface…

I didn’t know how much Mom cried inside . I tasted salty tears that were so bitter I shed tears . Mom’s hand couldn’t stop trembling . Her eyes stopped on me; she was unwilling to look away . It was as if she wanted to look at my face every second she could . I had one last mouthful of soup . Choking on my tears, I whimpered: “Sorry… Mom…”

Mom’s body jolted . All her strength left her hands, causing the bowl to drop to the ground and break . She tightly hugged me in her embrace . She wailed on my shoulder while her entire body quivered . She hugged me with all of her might . She was comparable to a young girl who lost her most precious thing . Her wails were loud and showed her distraught . For me, it was a most hopeless feeling . That’s right… She was indeed a young girl who had lost her most precious thing…
