Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 5 - Chapter 18

Chapter 18

“Your highness . You have a letter from humanity . ” Vyvyan took the letter from the messenger . The north should’ve been a field of heavy snow, but after she arrived, all the snow melted overnight, and the northern army returned to their camp . Vyvyan opened the letter and revealed a strange smile on her face . She spoke to herself” “This sheet of paper… it looks like that woman is unsettled . Fakes are fakes in the end . They’re always one step behind no matter what . ”

Lucia walked up to the queen and asked: “Your highness, did the humans send you a letter? What did they say?”

“Hmm……”

Vyvyan fell into a silence for a moment before smiling and replying: “To put it simply, the humans are unsatisfied with your marriage . It looks like they want to find my son a wife so they sent a letter asking to discuss the matter with me . ”

Lucia shrugged it off . Vyvyan looked at her, smiled and said: “Aren’t you worried, Lucia? After all, your fiancée is being threatened into marriage by someone . ”

“I am not worried because I trust his highness . I trust his highness loves only me . And so I am not worried . If there is someone over there who wants to seduce his highness, I shall personally take her head . ”

Lucia looked at Vyvyan determinedly . Vyvyan smiled and then responded: “Humanity’s empress is coming over, so we do have to receive her whatever the case may be . However, Lucia, you don’t have to worry . I will never accept humans . ”

“I know . I received a letter from my father a few days ago . My wedding dress is ready . We can get married next month . ” Although Lucia’s eyes were still half-shut, her excitement couldn’t be contained and displayed itself in her voice . Two childhood friends could finally tie the knot . That had always been Lucia’s dream until now . She could finally realise it . The future she craved was right in front of her . She just had to reach out to grab it .

“My son is at Galle Village right now . Lucia, don’t you want to go and see him? You can still make it in time if you head there now . ”

Vyvyan casually tossed the letter from the empress into the fire and continued, “The matter here has been sorted . The mana deficit here caused the temperature to drop over here and over there . We will soon be able to return to the imperial capital . Lucia, if you miss my son too much, you can leave now . ”

Lucia stood still with her eyes full of excitement and hope for a moment . If she couldn’t see him this month, she wouldn’t get to see him for two months . She didn’t know how he was doing or if he was in any danger . She really wanted to be by his side . She wanted to be with him . She wanted to prepare for their wedding together with him .

But Lucia looked at the queen and shook her head . She said: “No, your highness . I will stay here with you and resolve this matter . I will soon be able to marry his highness . Plus, I also trust his highness . I believe that his highness is missing me too, so I am in no rush to go and see him . I want to go to see him in my wedding dress . I want to give him a surprise, and guard him by his side one last time . ”

Lucia knew that she would lose the wind-elves’ buffs once she got married, reverting her back into an ordinary elf-guard . Her frail body and average magical prowess made it hard to take up the post as his highness’s bodyguard . When the time comes, she will become his wife and lead a peaceful life . Perhaps she would never wear her battle attire again .

Therefore, she wanted to cherish that final moment where she could still protect his highness . She was soon going to be able to stay by his side forever . She didn’t need to covet that moment right now . His highness wouldn’t betray her and nor would she betray his highness .

Lucia didn’t need to worry about anything when their love was so strong .

Vyvyan stood up, stroked Lucia’s small head and said with a smile: “Is that right? I shall leave my son in your hands in the future then . Lucia, I’m really anticipating your child . You and my son are so cute, so I trust that your child will be even cuter . ”

“Yes . Thank you, your highness . ”

“You can call me mom in the future too . ”

Vyvyan held up Lucia’s hands and continued with a smile: “I’m glad to have a girl like you as my daughter too . ”

Speaking of temples, I don’t know of any that comes to mind because I don’t believe in god . China doesn’t have any traditional temple either, so the only temple I saw was the Athena Temple I saw in a movie . The temple of the elves here expressed the same concept wonderfully but in a different way . They were both rectangular-shaped and looked both dignified and holy .

Upon entering we were met with a corridor that was lit up by a ray of light from the sun . Continuing on ahead along the long corridor led us to the room with the statue of god . The statue of god was huge . The path was created like a mirror, so you could get an under-skirt view of the female elves… my foot! The elves devout marble silhouettes . And on two sides were two braziers with intense fires burning .

I was currently sitting on the ground with Luna looking up at the statue . Elves have a custom where you must kneel before the statue of god . Everyone just sat however they want without any particular requirements . They just had to look up at the statue of god while thinking about the thing they wanted most .

I looked up at the statue and slowly began making a wreath with my hands . Honestly speaking, the last time I made a wreath was way back when I was really young, around when I was five or six . I learnt it in crafting classes in kindergarten back then . I never thought I’d remember some of it . But I could only put it together while the people around me had made theirs into a crown .

Buddy, could you do it for me?

What do I want? To be honest, there really isn’t anything that I want because I don’t believe that god would help me with my problems . If complaining to god could give me the answer to the problem that lies before me, then I would thank everyone . But I don’t believe in god . I hold elves in high regard because magic is a miracle . I don’t want god to do something for me though .

Maybe it was just a form of dignity I always had . We’ve never begged a god for millenniums . We’ve always had to solve our problems with our own hands whether it was a natural disaster or an accident caused by man . Hence, I don’t believe god will help me .

I just silently thought about Lucia . I hope she’s safe in the north and can safely return to my side, without so much as a scratch . But she should probably be fine with mom protecting her .

As I drowned in my thoughts, my hands started to slow down . I looked at the wreath I desperately tried to put together and then gently wore it onto Luna’s head . Luna giggled softly and lowered her head with a shy smile on her face . She leaned on me and hugged my arm tightly . I raised my head up to look at god and smiled bitterly . I’m supposed to make a wreath for my lover in front of god, and yet I was thinking about my lover while putting the wreath onto another girl’s head .

I wonder if god will be angry .

Freya who was at my side maintained her posture while she looked at the statue of god and said: “Brother, I can’t shake off the feeling that people are watching us . ”

“Uhm, I can sense it too . ”

“It looks like I need to do an experiment . Brother, we are in a very precarious situation right now . If we do not take the initiative, we will die . ”

“It looks like you’re pretty excited . ”

“I’ve gone through something sadder than death to a woman after all . ”

Freya chuckled softly . She then gave me a bunch of flowers she plucked from who-knows-when and handed them to me . She titled her head and said, “So I want a wreath too . ”

“Are these two things related in any capacity?!”
