Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 3 - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

I heard quiet chirps from the birds and the gentle breeze brushed against my face like my lover gently running her fingers through my hair . I heard a crushing sound overhead . The breeze teased the tree leaves and the tree leaves reacted with a crisp rustling sound . It was like I could hear the sun’s dance steps through the gaps between the leaves as it shone its light onto me .

I could feel a gentle and soft touch on my head along with the touch of something smooth, and supple like silk . I opened my eyes and saw mom’s smooth face looking at mine . She stretched her finger out . A few tubby blue birds surrounded her fingertip and chirped something . Mom looked at them with a tranquil smile .

I slept on mom’s thigh while we were under the shade of the three . Mom sat elegantly while she played with the birds and stroked my head at the same time . I don’t know when I fell asleep either . Maybe it was when I was washing . Maybe it was after washing . Mom carried me here under the tree where Lucia and I played

I rubbed my eyes and called: “Mom…”

The birds looked like they got frightened . Their plump bodies circled twice in the air and then they swiftly flew away . Mom lowered her head and stroked my head while wearing a gentle smile . She lowered her head and kissed me gently on my lips . She then smiled and said: “Good afternoon, son . ”

“Good afternoon mom… How long did I sleep for…?”

I used my hand to cover my eyes . My memory of the short event in the morning came to mind . I could only forget it when I slept . I couldn’t forget Mera’s beautiful final smile . My heart aches each time I remembered it . Mom raised her head and looked up at the sky . She smiled and said: “Not too long, probably only an hour or two . However, we haven’t had lunch yet, so how about we go out together?”

I looked at mom and asked: “Can we?”

Mom gently touched my forehead and endearingly replied: “Of course . Mommy rarely ever has a chance to go out with you . Mommy wants to go out and have fun with you too . Mommy has put matters aside for the meantime since mommy wants to keep you company . ”

I sat up and recalled what mom said to me while washing me . I assume she put work aside just now to keep me company . I didn’t continue down the path mom prepared for me . I took the initiative to carry the weight of the crown . Mom didn’t intend to stop me . She just wanted to spend more time accompanying me .

I sat up . Mom stood up, patted the grass off her and then smiled as she wrapped her arm around mine . It felt different when Lucia did it . Their sizes are completely different . I felt like my arm was getting swallowed into her twin valleys . However, mom didn’t seem to be aware of it . She just chuckled and hugged my arm as she leaned against me . She was cute like a girlfriend .

I didn’t really want to go out, but I had things I had to do . Mera’s final wish was for me to look after her plants and flowers, as well as her records . I only knew Mera for two months which was like a passing fragrant scent . She suddenly appeared by my side, and then she left on her own accord, leaving me with a painful memory .

What sort of life did she lead? What did she go through? How many family members did she have? What did she like? What did she hate…? I didn’t know the answer to any of those questions . She didn’t tell me anything . She didn’t even give me a chance to understand her . We met by chance, but our ending was tragic . Will I find her last fragments when I go to her place? Will I see the achievements of the last dark elf? This must be my final salvation .

Mom and I left the palace . When we arrived at the street outside, I suddenly had a feeling that something was amiss . I just went through a huge crisis, yet the streets were bustling as usual . Nothing had changed . It was like everything had been set up and everything that took place only took place in the palace . It made me feel as though it was all fake . It felt as though Lucia was by my side and I was off to pay Mera a visit now .

“Let’s go, son . What do you want to eat?”

I came back to my senses when mom called out to me . I silently nodded . I wasn’t really that hungry . I was aware I hadn’t eaten for a while, but the sad feeling lingering over me suppressed my appetite . Mom looked at me and quietly sighed . She then revealed a consoling smile, pointed to the teahouse and said; “Let’s go have some tea and then have some refreshments . Son, mommy knows where you want to go . ”

I raised my head to look at mom . Mom smiled . She then thumped my chest and said: “Mommy knows whatever you’re thinking… Mommy knows where you want to go . Mommy will take you there after tea . Your body won’t hold up otherwise . ”

I nodded . Mom then intimately hugged me around my waist and we entered the teahouse . When the people in the teahouse saw us enter, they paused for a moment and then quickly rose to greet us . Mom smiled and greeted them . They then turned their attention to me, bowed and said: “Good afternoon, your highnesses!”

I froze up . Normally, they gave me a separate greeting when mom was with me . But this time, they greeted me the same way they greet the queen . It was a first . ”*

Mom whispered in my ear: “You brought a white deer king back so everybody sees you as the prince who subdued a white deer king, thus receiving the respect of the people . ”

The simplicity of the reason left me speechless . Further, I didn’t bring the white deer king back . Mom forcefully brought it back… That reminds me, I need to go and pay it a visit . I think it must be uncomfortable for it in the stables .

I looked at them, pointed then revealed a smile and said: “Uhm, thank you all . ”

I used to feel uncomfortable and somewhat apprehensive when they greeted me like that, but now I felt like it was something I deserved .

I am the prince after all, so I should accept their greetings .

After our tea was served up, I asked mom: “Mom, Mera’s body…”

Mom took a sip and then looked at me and said: “The same as the rest . She’ll be hung up at the city doors . Did you want to give her a proper funeral? I can do that much . Her crime of treason was erased the moment she died . It’s only right to give her a proper funeral since she’s your friend . ”

“No . ”

I took a drink . People say that taste is an everlasting memory . I now believe that quote . The same taste reminded me of my time with Mera . The two of us sat here, drank tea and talked about all sorts of things . When I quickly scanned the building, it was as though I could see her dignified and elegant body leaning against the wall, gazing outside the window in a lonely manner as if she was just a visitor in this world .

“Your highness?”

Her joking yet serious voice seemed to pass through time and death and make its way to my ear once again .

My nose started hurting . I took in a breath of air, shook my head and said: “Just do what must be done… That’s fine . That way, Mera will be able to always watch me, even if it’s my back as I leave . ”

Mom went silent for a moment . She then revealed a smile and said: “Alright . ”

“Don’t cry… Your highness… I will…watch you…become…become…an outstanding king…”

Mera… Who would’ve thought that your so-called “watch you” would mean watching me in this way…
