Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 4 - Chapter 54

Chapter 54

When Luna woke up the next day, she found Nier had already gotten changed . Nier noticed Luna who was behind her wake up . She turned her head around . Her eyes were still red, but she had regained her calmness and resolve in her gaze . She looked at Luna, made a small bow and greeted her: “Good morning, Luna . ”

“Ah… good morning . ”

Luna looked at her blankly and asked: “Nier, you……”

“I’ve made up my mind, Luna . I love his majesty . ” Nier looked at Luna resolutely and calmly continued, “I understand now . I understand now . If this is love, then I love his majesty . Maybe it’s because his majesty helped me . Maybe it’s because his majesty is the only one who accompanies me . But whatever the case is, I love his majesty . And I don’t intend to give up . ”

“So……”

Nier looked at Luna with determination and replied: “I want to protect him at his side just like you, Luna .

You are his majesty’s personal servant, and I want to be his personal bodyguard . I don’t hate my identity as a Valkyrie . It’s just that I want to be a Valkyrie that protects his majesty . I want to keep him safe from harm . In the past it was her majesty’s job for me, but this time, it’s my own wish . ”

Luna stared blankly at Nier who was standing before her with determination and sighed . Luna revealed a hopeless and envious smile, knowing that Nier couldn’t be stopped . She said: “Nier, you really are cool, huh? You are so decisive and cool even in love . I truly envy you, Nier . It’s so admirable for you to have that sort of courage . Come what may, we shall serve his majesty together from now . Please look after me . ”

Luna looked at Nier and opened her arms .

“Uhm . ”

Nier looked at Luna . It was the first time she reached her hand out . The two of them shook hands and then gave each other a gentle hug . What feelings were they feeling? Nier and Luna couldn’t explain it . It was like a roommate type of friendship, as well as two who shared the same sad fate .

Nier left the room . The prince doesn’t actually know that they can see his sleeping face every time they come out . But it didn’t matter . The prince was sound asleep . Nier looked at the side of the prince’s face . His expression was very calm . As a matter of fact, he had a smile on his face . Nier couldn’t help but recall the feeling of when it went to her head and she kissed him . Her heartbeat sped up . The feeling of when she kissed him resurfaced on her lips . She couldn’t help herself from walking up closer and coming closer to his face . She couldn’t control her palpitating heart .

She gave him a peck .

“Lucia……”

The prince seemed to feel something . He frowned and then revealed a happy smile as he muttered a name .

Nier stood in place silently . Her heart which was palpitating felt like it took a hit again, as if the impulse and feeling just before was an unrealistic dream . She took in a deep breath like sucking melted ice which pricks your skin and runs down your mouth with a tinge of blood mixed in .

“Is that you . . , Lucia?”

Nier’s line of sight shifted to the pendant the prince placed to the side . The lovely heart shape looked like it was mocking her with a smile . She took in a deep breath and then left the room . She needed to bid the empress farewell and head out today . If she couldn’t become his majesty’s wife then she wanted to be his bodyguard . She was fine with it as long as she could be by his side . She was fine with it even if it meant she would have to bodyguard Lucia in the future as well .

It was like protecting her majesty . Her majesty gave her the strength to live on while his majesty gave her the purpose to live on . She saw a bigger world at his majesty’s side . She obtained determination from his side .

Inner court……

“Your majesty, Nier is at the door . ”

The empress nodded . The maid behind her got frightened and nearly broke her majesty’s long black hair .

A moment later, Nier entered the inner court, knelt down on one knee reported in: “Your majesty, sword instructor of Valkyrie squad one, Nier Gilliante, reporting for duty . ”

“Nier, do you still remember what we discussed?”

“I do . ” Nier raised her head and continued, “But I have come to understand that I will not be his majesty’s wife . I have already confessed to his majesty . His majesty rejected me, explaining that he is getting married . ”

“WHAT?!”

The empress aggressively stood up from her seat causing a few strands of hair to break and scaring the maid who dropped to both knees in the process . But the empress was in no mood to worry about her hair right now . She looked at Nier and exclaimed with shock: “What did you say?! He’s getting married?! Why didn’t I hear about it?! I’m his mother and yet I never heard anything about it!”

Nier looked at her majesty and calmly said: “His fiancée’s name is Lucia . I think the matter is with the elves’ side which is why his majesty did not mention it . ”

“Damn it! That bitch! That damned bitch! She still wants to get ahead of me?! He is my son! I’m the one who’s going to decide his marriage . I don’t care what she says, I won’t accept that elf! My son must marry an appropriate human wife, not a bitch of an elf!”

The empress furiously ripped her sword out of its sheath, slammed her hand on the table hard and shouted: “Castell!”

“Present . ”

Castell came in, bowed and asked: “What has gotten you so mad, your majesty?”

“The elves . Why didn’t I know about my son getting married?!”

“Please calm down, your majesty . His majesty does indeed have a fiancée named Lucia . But I never heard they were getting married . It must be a recent announcement . ”

Castell looked at the empress and asked: “Your majesty, do you want me to go and have a word with the elves?”

“Of course! How dare that woman pair my son up with a bitch of an elf! I absolutely won’t accept it! I am the one who shall decide my son’s marriage . I am his true mother! Go and talk to the elves . If they don’t agree, then tell them to prepare for war!”

The empress furiously swung her hand and then quickly wrote a letter at the table, shoved it into an envelope and sealed it before finally handing it to Nier . She added: “Nier, I agree to you and my son . You are the only one I am satisfied with among all those by his side at current . Deliver this to the church and when you return, I’ll let you and my son get married . ”

“Your majesty!”

Nier looked at the empress blankly . She couldn’t believe her ears . The empress nodded and said: “I’ve always treated you as my daughter . I agree now . Also, call his adopted-sister Freya here . ”

“Roger!!”

Nier excitedly stood up and swiftly left the inner court . She gripped the letter in her hand tightly and carefully like she was holding her heart . Castell watched Nier’s back as she vanished into the distance and asked: “Your majesty, is that really alright?”

“There’s no alright or not alright . At least Nier is a virgin, and she’s much better than others . I don’t want to have my son marry someone he’s never met before either . Nier is a good choice . Go prepare some medicinal herbs . I need Nier to get pregnant in the shortest time possible . She must get ahead of that elf! Oh, right . Go and find some poison for me right now, and then give it to me . ”

“Understood . ”
