Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 7 - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“You didn’t come back last night . ”

Nier hugged me and thumped my chest gently with her head .

I hugged her gently and whispered next to her ear: “Sorry, my moms kept me last night… so I couldn’t come back . You must’ve waited for me all night . I told you not to wait . ”

“Because I’m afraid…… I’m afraid that it would be the last time I wait for you……”

Nier looked up at me then gently cupped my face and kissed my lips . I closed my eyes and relished her lips and love . The two of us kissed sincerely and passionately . We were passionate enough to metaphorically eat each other .

However, I was geared up in military attire . I had to leave in ten minutes .

After we released each other, I stroked Nier’s face and told her: “Don’t say that . I’ll definitely come back . Nier, you need to look after yourself here . Let her majesty know if you have any concerns or need something . Do not try to deal with it alone and don’t go anywhere dangerous . Look after yourself well . ”

Nier wrapped her arms around my neck with a smile, bit my ear and then said: “I know . I know, dear…… Dear, you need to be careful in the desert too . It’s dangerous there . You don’t know how to wield a sword and your guards aren’t as good as I am . I can’t accompany you this time so don’t be impulsive and charge head-on . ”

“Uhm, I know . ”

Nier and I separated . She then took out a small-cloth pouch and handed it to me . The small pouch was like a bookmark . She carefully placed it into my chest pocket . With a shy smile she said: “This is a protective talisman I made for you, dear . Since I can’t be by your side, let the talisman protect you . You must come back as soon as possible . I’ll be waiting for you . I will surely be waiting for you . ”

I responded with a nod . I kissed Nier’s forehead then touched my chest with a smile and said: “I’m heading out now then, Nier . I’ll be back as soon as I can . Look after yourself . ”

“I will . ”

I walked out, but I couldn’t stop the urge to turn back and look at her . I saw Nier watching me leave . She bit down on her lip to force herself to hold back her tears . Her initially emotionless green eyes were now brimming with tears like a broken piece of emerald .

“Nier……”

I stopped in my tracks and turned around . My heart felt like it was being cut over and over again . I felt like I always wanted to leave . I always wanted to build my own power . I had always been here trying to atone for my powerlessness when Mera died, so I wanted to become a qualified king .

I’d always thought that . That’s why I was able to decide on this . This was my first exploit where I completely took it upon myself, to complete a king’s job on my own . That’s why I prepared so enthusiastically . I’ve asked everyone around me for their opinion on my decision this time and finally made up my mind .

But when I saw Nier’s expression like she was on the verge of crying, I thought of moms’ tears last night when they both agreed to let me leave . I couldn’t bear to leave now . I looked into Nier’s eyes and the pain in my chest virtually brought me to my knees . She’s my love, yet she was wearing a painful expression before me so how could I not be in pain myself?

“Nier… I… I…… . ”

Toss it . I’m not going anymore……

I opened my arms wanting to pull her into my arms tightly . I really wanted to hold her tightly in my embrace right now . I wanted to hug her tightly and never leave her again .

She looked at me and shuddered . She couldn’t hold back her tears anymore, letting big droplets of tears course down her cheeks . Her green eyes looked like shattered pieces of emerald . She walked over to me slowly and opened her arms .

Nier . My love .

Hold me . Let me hold you tightly . If you hug me now, I won’t be able to resist . My weak last line of resistance and courage will vanish in your arms . You just need to hug me again . You just need to tell me not to leave one more time and I’ll immediately cancel the journey . My hard work over the last few days can’t hold a candle to your tears that move my heart even more .

“Nier… I… I……”

Nier walked up to me with open arms . I waited for her to hug me .

But then when she stood before me, she didn’t hug me with her arms . Instead, she gave me a strong push . I staggered out of my room . The sunshine from the end of the corridor was bright like golden wings covering my entire body for that one moment . The golden light shone onto making Nier, her expression and tears stand out .

“Please give it your best, your majesty . ”

She didn’t say “Please stay” .

She said “Please give it your best” .

“Ah……”

I looked at Nier’s expression . It looks like I read her expression wrong . Inside Nier’s gaze wasn’t just pain and reluctance . Her iron-will and courage were still there . Maybe it’s because I rarely see the determination deep in Nier’s eyes . Her noble and brave heart won’t change or disappear because her status has changed and now that she’s with me .

Like metal and rocks, time and vanity can only leave an insignificant small scratch on her heart . The determination in Nier’s eyes had never reduced at all .

“I understand . I will do my best . ”

I looked at Nier’s eyes and revealed a relieved smile . She looked at me with her faced covered in tears and revealed a relieved smile as well .

I flicked my cape and the sunrays shining in from the side lit up my eyes a little . My cape made flapping sounds in the wind . My leather boots were firmly placed on the ground . I walked to the entrance absolutely determined . I didn’t hesitate this time nor did I turn my head back around . The pain in my heart stopped and I felt light like a rubber ball pumped completely full of air .

I don’t need to turn around anymore because the person behind me definitely doesn’t want me to turn around . I had no reason to turn around either . Nier didn’t need me by her side all the time just like Lucia didn’t .

They understood that I wasn’t just their husband, but a king as well . Therefore, they were determined not to be dead-weight holding me back . If you were to ask me what I gained in this world or what made me happy, my answer would be my two wives . They’re the greatest things I gained and what make me happiest . And that will hold true forever .

“Your majesty!”

When I arrived outside, I saw the golden edges on my guard-unit’s uniforms shimmering brightly and gloriously under the sun . I looked at all of their faces and nodded without saying anything . Freya led a horse over . I mounted the horse then stroked her head and softly said: “I’m leaving the city in your hands . Look after Nier . I’m worried that she might not be willing to speak to her majesty while Luna isn’t with her, so I’ll need to trouble you, Freya . Do you have too much work? If you can’t handle all of it, go ask Castell for assistance . ”

Freya chuckled softly and then replied: “You are over-concerned . This sort of stuff is considered relaxing compared to when I was in the church . Look after yourself, onii-sama . ”

“I know . ”

I looked over my men from atop my horse . The sunlight made their guns and the metal buttons on their uniform shine . They stood in a neat formation, ready to move like an unshakable army . I looked at them with pride and a sense of glory .

“Men, I don’t need to say anymore . This is going to be a long battle . I have one word that means more than thousands of words, and that is, march!”

“Roger!!”
