Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 9 - Chapter 13

Chapter 13

I’d say this must be the dinner with the most pressure I’ve ever had .

I didn’t actually hold a banquet . It was just a small family dinner with the three of us, except that it wasn’t sat up as a dinner for a family of three, but rather two moms and one son .

My two moms didn’t get into a physical fight when they met as I expected them to . I thought the two of them would fight without a word upon meeting, but the two of them didn’t argue or fight . They, instead, acted as though they didn’t know each other… Well, not quite . Basically, they acted as though they couldn’t see each other .

Vyvyan and Elizabeth didn’t look at each other . They focused their eyes on me . My original plan with the banquet was to smooth out their relationship, but instead, it became extremely harmonious and quiet for some odd reason . They looked at me with a kind gaze and never looked at each other . Though the atmosphere felt very cosy, it actually scared the living daylights out of me .

“Umm… moms…”

I felt that I couldn’t let this continue . If this continued, they’d never speak to each other even by the time they were dead . Heck, they might start fighting as soon as I turned my head away .

“You only have one mom . ”

“You only have one mom . ”

The two of them looked at me and spoke out at the same time .

“All right… Your Majesty, Your Highness . ”

Hopeless, I changed the way I referred to them . I watched the two of them as I raised my cup of wine up, “No matter what happened in the past, my purpose in calling you both here this time is to smooth out your relationship . The both of you are my very important m-… erm… seniors . Therefore, I don’t want for me to become the reason that you two don’t speak to each other again . ”

The two of them glared at each other with eyes brimming with murderous intent, but they didn’t say a word . I looked at them . I smiled helplessly as I reached my hand out to grab their hands and said, “Regardless of how you two hate each other, don’t be so obvious about it in front of your son . Raise your cups . Can we give each other a toast?”

The two of them exchanged glares . They both ridiculed each other with their eyes that were filled with hatred . It was as though asking them to give each other a toast was worse than asking them to pick up their blades and duke it out . After exchanging glares, Elizabeth then picked up her cup of wine and after a sigh, coldly said, “Since you have requested that of me, I must naturally fulfil your request as your mom . Though we both know that it’s impossible for us to resolve our opposing stances, I don’t want to do anything rude in front of my child . ”

Elizabeth lifted her cup of wine up and looked at Vyvyan with a gaze that sent her a challenge . It was, basically, a provocation which read, “Do you have the courage to pick up your cup?”

Vyvyan looked at her with a cold look . She then raised her cup, as well, “I don’t want to make my son upset, either . My son is a very gentle child . He will be sad if somebody sheds blood here . I don’t want to fight with you today, so let’s drink this cup, and we can then discuss the future at a later date . ”

“All right . Cheers . ”

The two of them clink their cups against each other hard causing the red wine inside to rise up . A fair bit of their wine spilt into the cup of the other . I noticed that both of them had vicious curses in their eyes . In that moment, I recalled what Freya told me at the start of this . She warned, “If a large volume of their wine spills into the cup of the other when they clink their cups, you must snatch their cups away from them . Her Highness and Her Majesty do not want to see something happen to you . If they have prepared for war already, we cannot rule out the possibility that they would try to poison each other . If something happens to one of them, the war this time will be more terrifying than the last . ”

Hence, I immediately pressed down on both of their hands . Before they could react, I quickly snatched their cups from them . They jolted . I quickly brought the two cups up to my mouth before saying anything .

“Son!!”

“Son!!”

The two of them yelled out at the same time and acted together . The wine in my left hand froze while the cup on my right hand got shattered with a knife . Red wine and glass fragments rained down onto the ground .

My two moms looked at me with a frightened and shocked gaze . After seeing that I didn’t drink any, they let out sighs of relief . They then immediately pounded the table and got up . They shouted at each other, “You actually poisoned the drink?!”

‘I don’t think either of you have the right to be angry . ’

The two of them understood that, so they didn’t continue after shouting . I silently placed the cup of wine down then let out a heavy sigh, “Ladies, may I know what caused you two to become this way? From what I know, even if your relationship was worse, it’s not so bad that you’d want to kill each other . ”

“It’s obvious that it’s because of this woman! Son, have you not realised it yet?! Whenever you’re with her, you get hurt . She has failed to protect you time and time again . But that’s not all . She’s even willing to ignore your safety for the sake of those around her . I already wanted to kill her when she was shouting at me while I controlled that nutcase!”

Vyvyan coldly glared at Elizabeth . She clenched her teeth tightly, and then exclaimed, “Also, this woman wants to stop me from taking you back . You should be the Elven King in the first place . You have no reason to stay here to keep getting hurt . Humans have no loyalty or honour to speak of . They only know money and power!”

“What do you know?! That was my mistake and I have already acknowledged my mistake to my son . He’s already forgiven me . What right do you have to point fingers? He’s my son to begin with, so he should succeed my throne . He should be by my side . If that’s how you want to play, my son should’ve been healthy . Why did he end up with berserk mana?!”

“I had to do that! I had to do that if I wanted my son to survive!”

“The same goes for me!”

Elizabeth and Vyvyan furiously glared at each other . Elizabeth then mocked her, “You’re but just a substitute . ”

Vyvyan didn’t take a single step back . She coldly shot back, “What about you, then? You gave birth, and then ran off as those women from the red-light district do . ”

“I must take my son back . ”

“Did I give you my permission, yet?!”

“Go die, then . I don’t need to consider the opinion of the dead now, do I?”

“Oh, really? Make sure your words and actions match . ”

The two of them glared at each other angrily . With their anger clashing, Vyvyan and Elizabeth no longer wanted to bother with me . Elizabeth had drawn her sword . The two of them truly wanted to kill the other . They had no intention of showing each other any mercy .

“Umm… moms…”

“Son, don’t speak for now . It’ll be over soon . ”

“You’re right . You soon won’t be able to speak anymore . ”

I silently placed the plate in my hand down, and then they both suddenly turned their heads to look in my direction . They looked at me with horrified expressions .

“If I don’t exist, does that mean you two won’t have to fight this way anymore?”

I staggered a few steps . My vision turned blurry . I felt a burning sensation throughout my entire body . This is the same feeling as when Mera stabbed me . It felt as if my mana was burning my entire body .

“Son!! Son!”

“Son!! Son!”

The last sight that I saw was their horrified eye,s and then the foggy ceiling . I passed out after that .
