Book 4: Chapter 12


    Mom gently ced me onto her bed, and I lifelessly closed my eyes. I wasnt willing to budge no matter what happened anymore. Unlike Vyvyan, I feel that Elizabeth is a normal Eh?!! Huh?!! What are you undoing my belt for?! What are you doing?! Arent the roles for date-rape reversed here?! I struggled to open my eyes, only to see a terrifying scene. Mom had the overwhelmingly lustful gaze she had on that day we bathed together as she panted heavily while undoing and ripping my belt off. I desperately shifted my weak hands downwards, grabbed my belt and muttered: Dont mom dont do this


    Isnt there something wrong with this predicament?! Not only are the male and female roles reversed, even the identity of the individuals in question are wrong!! Youre my mom, not a thug! What are you trying to do stripping me when Im drunk?! So much for thinking you were a normal mom. Youre scarier than Vyvyan!!


    Mommy mommy mommy wants to sleep with you too.. Mommy has never slept while holding you. Mommy wants to sleep holding you too. That ugly woman could. Im youre biological mom. I want to too!


    Mom pulled my pants off forcefully and then began to rip my shirt like she was insane the same way she did my belt. Yes, thats correct, Vyvyan does sleep with me, but she at least lets me sleep with my clothes on! What are you doing?! Its very easy tomit a mistake once were drunk, you now?!


    But mom didnt look like she had any intention to reason with me. Moms gaze looked like the gaze of a mad-woman. It was frightening. She ripped my shirt open and then unbuttoned my dragon armour I wore inside. I couldnt do anything since my arms and legs felt like jelly. I simply let mom strip me as she pleased. Vyvyan did it to me when we bathed togetherst time, so having my mom hold me while sleeping wasnt something uneptable.


    Moms hands suddenly stopped. She had already undone the buttons on my under-shirt, yet she stopped. Mom pressed her hands on my chest and curled her fingers up to form fists. She stopped there for a long time, not taking the next step. Somewhat curious, I went to open my eyes, but two cold drips of waternded on my face just as I intended to open my eyes.


    I opened my eyes and saw mom staring at my chest. She curled her fingers up to form two fists and trembled gently. She bit down on her lips hard. Her gaze was brimming with pain and sadness. She desperately tried to hold her tears in but big droplets of tears fell nheless as they ran down her cheeks, dripped onto my face, and sttered.


    Mom?


    I struggled to lift my head up. I didnt know why mom cried. I looked at her face and then realised that I still had the scar Mera gave me on my chest. While the white deer king did save my life, the scar was still left behind. Mom shed tears of pain as she looked at my scar.


    I lifelessly lied back down and softly said: Its alright, mom Its alright


    Still mounting me, mom ced her head on my scar and in her hoarse voice said: Theres no way youre alright This scar. Mommy has seen this sort of scar before Its a fatal wound How could you possibly be fine


    Mom hugged me tightly as she cried and shivered with iparable pain and fear.


    Mommy mommy is sorry My dear son mommy couldnt protect you mommy. Youre still by mommys side and yet you still got hurt Its all mommys fault son its all mommys fault If only mommy wasnt stubborn you wouldnt have had to suffer so much Mommy. mommy is sorry..


    Mom choked on her tears as she spoke. Her voice was virtually muffled by her sobs. I had never seen mom cry so sadly before. Thest time I saw moms tears was when I came out of the sewers. Truthfully speaking, Ive let mom see me get hurt too many times.


    I beg you my son my most beloved son Mommy loves you mommy really loves you dont hate mommy Please dont hate mommy mommy mommy will protect you well in the future mommy mommy wont let you suffer any more than you already do


    Mommy hugged me tightly and kissed my scar. She hugged me tightly fearfully. I smiled helplessly and then stretched my arm out to hug mom. While my arms were very weak, I still tried my best to hug mom back nheless. I gently said: Its fine mom. I love you I really do Im very thankful of you. If it werent for you I wouldnt exist, isnt that right?


    My son My most beloved son Mommy loves you Mommy really loves you!


    You know mom really is a clumsy mother. She has no idea how to love a child, nor does she know how to raise one. However, I understand moms love for me is genuine. While the way she expresses it is somewhat silly, her hands that bled from needle-work and the tears she shed because of my wound were all very real.


    Elizabeth truly loves her son deeply. From the perspective of others, she is a domineering and majestic empress. However, she is also a dutiful mother. If Troy was here with Elizabeth at the start, I think he would be blissful now as well. Both mothers love their son deeply after all.


    Mom hugged me tightly, pulling me tightly into her embrace. She sobbed as she gently pat me on my back and softly asked: Mommy mommy mommy cant sing lubies mommy is very happy to just be able to sleep with my son while holding him. Son a-are you happy?


    I am. Im very happy.


    I leaned into moms embrace and sniffed the scent on mom. Her fragrance was different to Vyvyans, but intoxicated me and calmed me down nheless. Plus, since I was drunk and had my eyes shut, I slowly fell asleep. Next to me was moms warmth. In front of me were moms warm breaths. I felt at peace and happy like a newborn child.


    Mom hugged me blissfully. She didnt want to do anything in that moment. She just wanted to look at her son sleeping in peace until the end of time. She had once held her son. Her son was as gentle as he was not long after he was born and she first held him. He revealed a calm smile whenever she held him like that.


    She was not the empress of the empire right now. She was just a blissful mother holding her son. Her son was able to ept her and return to her embrace. The bliss Elizabeth experienced came to her too suddenly. While she still didnt know how to make her child happy, she learnt the bliss of being a mother.


    How nice would it be if time could stop there?


    Your majesty


    Castell brought up the medicine the empress had to drink every night to help her sleep, but the two on the bed had already fallen asleep. The empress hadnt changed. She hugged her son with a blissful smile Castell had never seen before as she slept. The empress actually has poor sleep. But right now she was sound asleep.


    The empress used to always fret about something. But her concern was now in her arms. With nothing to be concerned about, she could naturally sleep deeply.


    Castell smiled helplessly, left the room and closed the door. Alice saw him bring the medicine out. She waited for a moment before asking: Whats wrong?


    Her majesty is asleep.
