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

Chapter Prologue

After many things happened, things around me finally settled down . Winter finally came as it was scheduled to . I also changed into my thick winter clothing and returned to humanity’s royal capital . Vyvyan left with Lucia when we left the palace . As for our wedding date, we were told we would be notified at another time so I didn’t rush them . Since I don’t have to travel between the two places, I can freely go on intimate strolls with Nier in humanity’s empire and then return to the palace and attend to the jobs I need to attend to . Nier also finally started becoming strongly curious of various things like a girl . However, based on the indifferent attitude she had for merchants and others, it looks as though her innate nature hasn’t changed . She just happens to treat me as a special case .

The orphanage was pretty much the same as always, except that the living quarters of the children had been renovated with the money . They also brought more people on board to help look after the children as well as teachers . Nier really likes that place and she even proudly announced she was now the princess . The dean and everyone at the orphanage gave their blessings, while I continued to watch Nier play with the children from above .

I wonder how much longer it’ll be . Maybe Nier is already pregnant with our child .

“You are here, your majesty . ”

Just as Nier and I entered the palace, Castell walked in and bowed to us . I nodded and asked: “I’ve been back for some time now . I haven’t seen you for a while, Castell . Where did you go?”

Castell stood back up, blinked his sly eyes a few times and replied: “Your majesty, I went to the border of the elves and humanity to check up on the progress of the building there . My, elven magic truly is miraculous . Our heavy machines look silly and powerless before their magic . ”

“Don’t worry about it . I believe that our heavy machinery will one day be able to do what magic does . ”

I was full of confidence since I’ve seen the day humanity’s science made huge leaps . Castell nodded with a smile and then said: “I shall consider your words good luck then, your majesty . Ah, I also heard about your marriage with Miss Gilliante . Congratulations to both of you . Congratulations on finding your loved one, your majesty, and congratulations to you Miss Gilliante for becoming the princess from today . ”

“Thank you, Castell . ”

Nier said that with her expressionless look . She interacts with Castell with a poker face and is much colder to others . Castell straightened up his torso again and said: “Your majesty, when do you intend to hold your wedding? Will it be in winter or do you want to wait until spring? Ah… . . I would think winter . ”

“Why do you say so? Are your in charge of my wedding perchance?”

“Or would you have another candidate, your majesty?”

I choked on my words . I do actually have a better candidate, and that’s Freya . I trust Freya more than Castell now because Castell is the empress’s advisor, while Freya is my sister . I trust Freya more than an outsider, and I trust that Freya can smoothly organise a wedding with her intelligence .

But I do want to give Freya a chance to rest since she has always been by my side recently whether it was for the church’s matters or the menial matters that we had to sort out afterwards . Freya who had been by my side coming up with ideas and strategies was tired and so I want to let her rest a bit more .

“I don’t have any opinion . I just want to know where my wedding is going to be held . ”

“Oh, have I not told you?”

Castell paused . He then smiled and continued, “Did I not say that I went to go and take a look at the building at the border? That is a newly constructed city . I think you will be holding your wedding there . My, my, I have seen cities rise because of business and due to war, but this is my first time seeing a city constructed for a wedding . I think that the city must be a domain that her majesty is giving you . ”

I froze up . I know about ancient Europe granting a prince territory but I’ve never had a domain of my own . But it makes sense as to why I don’t have my own domain since I have to travel between the two nations . However, I don’t know what I should do if mom suddenly grants me a piece of land .

I’m guessing the city is being built after my moms reached an agreement . Forget a city, I’ve never even been a captain in practice . How am I going to manage a city?

I need the almighty Freya……

“My, you’ve met each other, huh? How coincidental . Oh right, your majesty, her majesty asked you to come to the inner court . She said there is something very important she wants speak to you about . ”

Just as we were talking, a small silhouette appeared before us . The loli Alice fanned herself and walked over with a smile . Nier froze up when she saw her, but then quickly bowed her head and saluted her loudly: “Captain!”

“Ah… don’t, don’t, don’t . Don’t do this . I can’t accept it . I can’t accept it!” Alice was so frightened she nearly tossed her fan . She smiled hopelessly and said, “Nier, you should have gotten used to your identity now, right? You are now a princess, and will soon take the Rosvenor surname, so it should be me that salutes you now . ”

“I dare not . I am a Valkyrie . ”

“Of course you aren’t a Valkyrie . You are the princess . ” Alice cut her off and then turned to face me and say: “Your majesty, I must congratulate you . No matter if it is appearances or culinary skills, Nier is the best among the Valkyries . Of course, she is also a dutiful guard . ”

“Nier, you can cook?!”

I dawdled for a moment before looking at Nier . I honestly never thought Nier could cook . Nier shouldn’t be able to do anything except be a Valkyrie who hacks people! Why does Nier know how to cook?! Nier nodded and then coyly replied: “I can, but my dishes are crude……”

“I want to try them!”

I looked at Nier with excitement . Nier was startled at first, but then revealed a blissful smile and said: “Alright, your majesty . Once you return to the outer court, I shall personally cook for you as long as you don’t think poorly of my cooking……”

“Of course I won’t! I’m eager to try it! I’m going to go and see m(om)-… ah, her majesty now . ”

Nier and I split up . I went with Alice to the inner court .

“Ah, son, you’re here . ”

When I entered mom’s room, I found her looking at a building blueprint . She revealed a joyful smile when she saw me enter . She pulled me over to the table and said: “Come, come, come . Son, take a look . This is the blueprint of the city we’ve prepared for you . See if there’s anything you’d like to add . Mommy thinks that it’s better to build you a city than a castle . This city sits on the border of humanity and the elven lands . It’s a very rich place . Mommy intends to make it your domain so that you and your wives can live there . Mommy can go and visit you . That way, you won’t have to travel all over the place . ”

Mommy spoke cheerfully while I looked at the blueprint . It was a very normal city . The site chosen to build the city on was very good . It was a plain with a river and a mine nearby . It also connected to the elven forests .

“Mom… I don’t know how to manage a city……”

“That’s alright . Mommy didn’t know how to initially either, but isn’t mommy managing this massive empire now? You don’t have to worry son . If there’s any major matter, mommy will stand up for you . You just need to enjoy life freely there . Mommy won’t interfere with your life . However, you mustn’t go to the elven lands . Mommy and Vyvyan discussed it already . You mustn’t go due to your condition . Just focus on the city . ”

“My condition?”

“To put it simply, your body cannot come into contact with mana . ” Mom pulled me into her arms and affectionately stroked my head as she continued, “In any case, this city is my wedding gift to you . Mommy wants to test you too… as a ruler . I want to see if you have what it takes to run a nation… Son, don’t disappoint mommy……”
