Book 10: Chapter 8


    Ling Yue has exined what happened with the anthropoids, so now, you two will discuss how we will deal with them, right? We may have ovee Troy Citys siege and the reinforcements will be here very soon; however, the anthropoids will not give up just because of that. The anthropoids we killed here are just worthless sacrifices to them. We will forever be threatened and suffer losses and damages for as long as we do not conquer the North.


    Although I tried to get my two moms to understand what I was saying inside the conference hall, the two of them didnt seem to concentrate on what I was saying. Mommy Vyvyan looked at me with an affectionate smile simr to that of a mother watching her childs graduation speech. Elizabeth remained sluggish as she did at the end of the battle. She looked at me in silence.


    That made me feel very frustrated, as it seemed as though nothing I said meant anything. My n required humans and elves to ally with each other. Though Mommy Vyvyan can kill the anthropoids in the blink of an eye, its impossible for Mommy Vyvyan to go to the North. Elves cant adapt to the extreme cold in the North. Not even Mommy Vyvyan. The only ones who can do battle there are humans. However, for humans to wage battle there they require members to reform ranks and transport supples. That means that the elves must allow humans passage and provide the required supplies.


    In other words, I cant deploy my n if either of them refused to assist.


    Therefore, I think if Mommy Elizabeth can provide us with a team that specialises in snowbat, while Mommy Vyvyan replenishes our resources and allows humans passage, then I am confident I can defeat the enemies in the North.


    I made my suggestion as a means of testing the waters with my two moms.


    Mommy Vyvyan leaned back onto her chair then replied with a smile, Thats no problem, Son. Mommy will give you anything you need.


    I bet Mommy Vyvyan agreed without even considering it; but thats even better. Elizabeth, on the other hand, didnt reply. I dont think she paid any attention to what I said. She looked at me with a veryplex gaze, causing me to feel a little numb. I cleared my throat gently; then looked at her and asked, Umm, Mom? Your Majesty?


    Mommy Elizabeth reacted as though she just woke up from a dream. She looked at me and dryly chuckled, Ah, oh No problem, no problem. Im fine with what you said.


    All right, then. I hope that you both can appear at an event. I think we can say that we have a military alliance, since we are forming and elven and human alliance, a military alliance tobat the anthropoids in the North. That will make it more convenient to manage the two races, as well.


    Mommy Vyvyan nodded with a smile, All right.


    Elizabeth didnt hesitate, either, No problem.


    I dawdled for a moment. I never thought that the two of them, and even the two races, could form an alliance so quickly. The two races were still distant with each other due to the war a decade ago, yet the two rulers formed an alliance as a result of my little speech. That gave me a very concerned feeling.


    <em>Are my two moms actually serious?</em>


    I looked at them and asked with concern, Umm I want to ask, moms, are you serious?


    Mommy Vyvyan raised her eyebrows and answered in a serious tone, Of course. The North attacked us, which means that theyve dered war on us. ording to what Ling Yue said, this is their revenge against us for their exile. War is not a game. Son, Mommy would not joke about this. Did you think that Mommy wasnt listening to you seriously? Wrong. Mommy made the decision after thinking it through. Theres nothing wrong with your suggestion, and the conditions you mentioned are appropriate, too, so why would Mommy need to reject you? Youre doing something legitimate.


    Ah is that right?  What about you, then, Your Majesty?


    I shifted my gaze to Elizabeth. She sighed then stood up, Im not feeling too well right now. Ill let you discuss the details, Son. As long as its appropriate, do it.


    Mommy Elizabeth left the conference hall before I could say anything. I paid no heed to Mommy Vyvyans gaze. I quickly pulled the door open and gave chase.


    Mommy Elizabeth looked particrly haggard from the rear as if she was really unwell. I quickly ran over and caught up to her at the corner. I grabbed her hand and pressed her up against the wall. I anxiously asked, Mom, whats wrong? Did you get hurt somewhere? Ah


    I finally noticed her tears coursing down her face. She bit down on her lip tightly to stop herself from crying. Her usual tall and majestic body now looked feeble as if she was a little girl.


    Mom


    She looked at me with her teary eyes. She let go of her lips and in a shaky voice replied, Maybe maybe I got hurt Mommys heart hurts so much for some reason Mommys heart hurts so much when Mommy sees that womans smile The elves might be able to be free and easy-going, but Mommy Mommy cant


    I checked left and right to ensure that there was nobody around. I sped Moms face gently and wiped her tears on her face, but then more tears came out. I looked at Elizabeth and sighed, Mom, I dont love Vyvyan. She and you are my mothers to me, my respected moms. My love for you and Nier is different. I swear that I did it for Lucia this time. I have no other feelings, otherwise.


    Elizabeth looked at me with her eyes narrowed. She raised her head up and softly questioned, If you could go that far for Lucia, what else are you willing to do for her?


    I looked at Elizabeth and replied sincerely, I can sacrifice everything. Of course, I could do the same for you.


    Elizabeth lingered for a moment, and then leaned her cold body onto my mine.


    I didnt speak and nobody disturbed us.


    Mommy just feels ufortable seeing you, my son, who resembles my husband, make oaths to other women.


    A momentter, Elizabeth took a step back and wiped her lips with a smile. She said, Mommy wants to be wilful sometimes, too. Having someone to spoil you is a very blissful feeling. Mommy hasnt been able to rx in a long time after separating from your father Mommy is a little tired now, too.


    If possible, I want to let you rx, too. I told you; I will break your cage.


    Uhm, Mommy is looking forward to it very much.


    Elizabeth looked at me and revealed a faint smile on her teary face. I smiled shyly. I then led Elizabeth back to the conference hall.


    Its just that we didnt notice an emerald dress disappear at the corner in front of us
