Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 8 - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

At night, I hugged Nier, who was next to me, and apologised, “Sorry, Nier . I haven’t been back for long, and I have to leave again . ”

‘When I returned to humanity’s lands, Freya informed me that I had to prepare to return to the Royal Capital to take part in the annual meeting’s preparations . I originally wanted to stay with Nier for a little longer, but I won’t be getting the chance . The time we had together was just a few embraces’ long . We didn’t even get to say much to each other . ’

“It’s all right… It’s all right . Dear, I understand…” Nier gently snuggled up on my chest then took in a deep breath before continuing, “I understand that you’re very busy . I told you, I want to be of help to you, not a burden to you . Dear, wherever it is you need to go, you just need to let me know . I understand . I can look after myself . ”

I gently brushed against her head and next to her ear apologised, “Sorry . Sorry…”

Nier gently stroked the hickey mark on my neck . She softly said, “She could stand being separated from you for so long so I can, too… My love for you won’t change because of place or time… And I will love you even more after separation . ”

I stroked Nier’s head and tenderly replied, “Look after yourself, Nier . I’m worried about you most right now . Of course, that includes Lucia…”

Nier gave my thigh underneath a hard pinch, so I obediently shut up and didn’t mention Lucia in front of her . She looked at me then kissed me on my lips, and we were entangled together for a while . Nier then leaned away, and quietly pouted, “Dear, don’t mention that woman in front of me… she even left a mark on your neck… I want to leave one, too!”

Before I could refuse her, Nier had bitten me right next to Vyvyan’s mark . I had no tears to cry despite wanting to .

‘Am I going to attend the annual meeting with three hickeys? Am I going to let all the vassal states see kiss marks on my neck? No way . ’

‘It appears that the scarf Mommy Elizabeth knitted me is very useful .  I just never imagined that the main function of the scarf would be to hide the kiss marks on my neck…’

Nier and I tightly embraced .

‘Due to her being pregnant, Nier didn’t do that sort of stuff with me again . To me, that’s a blessing . I am physically weak at the moment after all… Vyvyan had taken a lot of my mana . However, Vyvyan managed to send me back with just a wave of her hand this time . ’

‘My luggage for tomorrow had been prepared . I didn’t bring my guard unit along, as they were still recuperating from their injuries . Those who weren’t injured were also recuperating . It would be too much to ask them to sortie right now . Elizabeth, however, generously assigned me two Valkyrie teams to act as my bodyguards . ’

‘I feel like the Valkyries are a lot less hostile to me now . And with their sword instructor with me, the Valkyrie teams here weren’t too hostile to me, but we’re just maintaining a basic level of harmony . If Nier was here, I’m confident I could make this team obey me, since Nier holds a very high rank within the Valkyries squad . ’

‘Now, though, this team just needed to keep me safe . ’                  

‘Valkyries are definitely qualified bodyguards . ’

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good morning!”

When I opened my eyes, I saw Luna standing before me, holding my clothes with a smile . I froze for a moment, and then let go of Nier, who was in my arms, and rubbed my eyes . I stared at Luna . She lingered for a moment before looking at me and asking, “Your Majesty, are you bothered by something, or have I got something on my face?”

“No… It’s just… I never thought you’d be next to me…”

Luna revealed smile as it was a matter of course then responded, “What are you saying? I am your personal servant . It is a given that I would be by your side . Your Majesty, you are not quite yet awake, are you? I must apologise, though, as you cannot continue sleeping . The Valkyrie squad has begun the day . You need to have breakfast and prepare to head out . ”

“Ah… Wait… didn’t you go for a vacation?”

I looked at Luna .

‘She shouldn’t be here right now . She should be off on vacation . Though she did say she’d be back today, I never thought she’d be back now . Logically speaking, she should’ve been back yesterday afternoon, but I happened to be on the elven side at the time . ’

“I just took a bath at the hot spring outside the city . It was really comfortable . ” Luna smiled, and then touched her cheeks as if she brought the moisture and warmth from the spring out . She then titled her head with a smile and went on, “I need to go with you to the Royal Capital this time once again . I am your only personal servant, after all . Plus, you would be distressed without me, right?”

I sat up . Luna grabbed a towel from a basin by the side to wipe my body . I looked at Nier, who was sound asleep, and gave her a light kiss on her check before pulling the blanket over her . I then picked up my shirt and wore it on . Luna added the finishing touch by draping my cape over my shoulders and adjusting it . She then gave me a few gentle pats on my shoulder and said, “Let us go, Your Majesty . I am the only one coming along again this time . ”

I grinned and responded, “It won’t be just us . My moms will also be coming . But you’re right . You’re the only one around me that’s coming . I never thought that we could only get the opportunity in the desert . ”

“I guess we could call it fate, Your Majesty . It was fortunate that I did not leave the city . Could this be considered our connection? It appears that god wants for us to be together a while longer . ”

Luna giggled then asked, “What is the trip for this time? Judging from Miss Freya’s tone, it sounds as though is something very important… Is it a good idea to not bring Miss Freya along for something so important?”

I nodded and then explained, “It can’t be helped . Freya isn’t my biological sister, so she can’t take part in this sort of event for the royal family . But Freya prepared information on all of the vassal states for me . Additionally, I have my moms, so it’ll be fine . ”

“Uhm, okay then . ”

Luna has never questioned my arrangements . She nodded and then we left the room together . I looked at Nier, who was asleep, one last time and hesitated for a moment before shutting the door gently .

‘Perhaps I’m not particularly sad, because this was now the second time we’re separating . ’          

‘Moreover, since Nier wanted to be of help to me, I won’t make her angry with herself . There’s still time in life . I don’t need to mind separating once or twice like this . I’ll stay by their sides all the time afterwards, growing old together and watching our children grow up . ’

‘But before that time comes, I need to work hard for my own dream, for our life in the future, and for the expectations my moms have . ‘

‘Although I didn’t complete the task in the desert perfectly last time, I’m certain I can leave a good impression with the vassal states this time . They might not think I can surpass her majesty, but I’ll make it so that they willingly compliment me, saying “He’s Her Majesty’s child all right!”
