Book 6: Chapter 36


    Its done now. Mommy has infused mana into these three pools: Explosion, Ignite and Vicious Venom. You just need to throw the projectiles you produce into it.


    Mm Mom


    Its nothing. You dont have to thank me, Son. Also, about the Earth Dragon cavalry you mentioned; There wont be any problems. Leave it to Mommy. Mommy will ensure that you have skilled Earth Dragon riders for when you need them. Lets see if theres anything else Mommy can help you with. Ah, thats it. You dont have to use the swords made by humanity for your guard unit, Son. The imperial guards weapons Mommy provided for you are definitely far superior to the swords produced by humanity.


    Uhm Thank you, Mom But


    Vyvyan cheerfully hugged me around my neck and rested her head on my shoulder. She blissfully said, Its okay. Its okay. You dont have to thank me, Son. Youre Mommys son, so its only natural for Mommy to support your career. This is what Mommy should do!


    She was as happy as if her crush had asked her to do something and shepleted it excellently


    <em>But Im not Moms crush. Im her son! Im just her son!</em>


    But thats not the important thing here. Ive been Vyvyans son for so long that Ive be used to her gestures. That said, I have something extremely important I want to discuss with Vyvyan, and that is


    Mom, can you get down first? Were about to arrive at the pce It wont be good if Mommy Elizabeth sees us like this, dont you think?


    I dont care about her. Grumpy, Vyvyan hugged me around my neck tighter.


    She leaned on my chest, frowned a little and said, Mommy poured Mommys mana into the pools. Mommy is extremely weak right now, so you should carry Mommy, as Mommys son. Back then, Mommy carried you when you were powerless and ran around.


    I looked at Mom with suspicion. Moms expression and body are the same as usual.


    <em>I know that transferring mana or using magic will drain you, but youre a demigod! Didnt you say it was easy for you to obliterate the entire continent?! You only poured mana into three pools the size of fish-tanks and youve be this weak?! Today is a full-moon night, too! Why is it that I dont believe you in the least?!</em>


    <em>I truly dont believe you!</em>


    <em>But it doesnt look like Vyvyan is going to get off. Instead, shes just going to snuggle up in my arms with her arms wrapped around my neck as we sit atop the horse. Normally speaking, no one is allowed to sit on the princes horse. But his moms and wives can, right? Vyvyan is the queen of the elves, too</em>


    <em>But is it a good idea for you to be leaning in my arms like a little bird on top of my horse like this when youre the elven queen?! Youre my Mom, not my wife! People will think youre my mistress, wont they? Wait, no. A mistress wouldnt be allowed to sit on my horse.</em>


    I was now headed to my pce. However, I was growing more and more worried; like the feeling you would have as you walked to the guillotine, step by step. Nothing will happen if I carry Vyvyan like this. Freya wont mind how many women I have around me, but but


    <em>If Elizabeth sees us, I bet there will be another full-scale war</em>


    Ah Son Hmm


    <em>Sorry. Im sorry. I was wrong. Im truly sorry. I shouldnt have triggered a g for myself.</em>


    Just as I got to the pce gates, I saw the empress ride her horse out.


    Elizabeth revealed a happy smile and greeted me at first. But then, when she saw Vyvyan in my arms with a gentle expression, her expression changed for the worst, instantly. It was like she saw her fathers killer.


    Her hateful gaze made me feel like she wanted to rip Vyvyan apart.


    Why are you here?


    Why, of course, its because my son needs me.


    Vyvyan looked at Elizabeth with a strange smile. She pressed her hands on my chest and continued with a smile, My son is still my son after all. He needs his Mommy to take care of him. I cant help it since Im his mom. This is just natural.


    Elizabeth pursed her lips sideways. She then looked at her and indifferently said, I can understand you helping my son, but arent you too intimate with my son? You really are being ambiguous. Youre not the you from back then. Why are you so intimate with him when youre almost a hundred, now? Do you think youre my sons mistress? You have no manners. Is my son someone you can approach whenever you want? If you have even an ounce of shame left, get away from my son!


    Elizabeths gaze fired up before she even finished speaking. She had drawn the sword at her waist and cut an icicle to pieces that disappeared into the ground before I realised it.


    Vyvyan looked back at her coldly and said, Isnt that the same for you? Old almost-forty Elizabeth? What are you trying to say? Hes not just your son. Hes my son. Whats it to you if Im a little intimate with my son?


    Elizabeth waved her sword and all of the Valkyries behind her drew their swords.


    I was shocked when Vyvyan joined in as well.


    <em>Isnt she basically pping the empress in the face by being so violent in humanitysnds? However Vyvyans seems to be a little particrly excited on full-moon nights</em>


    Snuggled up in my arms, Vyvyan said, Have your people sheath their swords. Otherwise, I dont think theyll be sufficient for my warm-up. And this is our business. Do you want to bring others into it?


    Elizabeth waved her hand and the Valkyries behind her sheathed their swords. Elizabeth looked at her indifferently and then said, Ah, right. Today is a full moon. It looks like you really need to let it out. But my son is not where you should be releasing your sexual lust. If you need to let it out,e and fight me.


    Yeah? Vyvyan twisted her body atop the horse. She then looked at Elizabeth in a teasing way and said, You must know that its a full moon tonight. Its my night with my son. Its none of your business.


    Im warning you. If you dare use the full-moon night as an excuse to do something that crosses the line with my son, Ill take your head on the spot. Elizabeth has never been so serious before that she would even change the way she referred to herself.


    She looked at Vyvyan coldly, with her sword in hand, like a wolf about to dig into its meal. Actually, she was more like a wolf that was fighting for the role of king of the pack.


    Vyvyan chuckled coldly as she looked at her. She waved her hand and then responded, Unfortunately, you might not get the chance tonight. Elizabeth, in the past, until now, and in the future, only I can protect my son. Only I can. You have no business butting in. Wont you admit that?!


    Think about it. Who was the one that caused my son to be like this?! Let me repeat myself. If you dare to cross the line with my son, you wont live to see tomorrow.


    Try me. Nothing I do to my son is considered crossing the line.


    Vyvyan and Elizabeth red at each other as though the peace they forcefully tried to maintain hadpletely vanished on this most tense day


    <strong>Glossary</strong>


    Elizabeth has never been so serious before that she would even change the way she referred to herself.  This line refers to how in Chinese, there are a bazillion ways of referring to yourself, but in English, we just use I. She usually uses the version emperors use to refer to themselves, but this time, she used themonly used I. In other words, usually  became .
