Book 14: Chapter 55


    Stupefied, I turned my head to see Mommy Vyvyans ecstatic face. Her beautiful face was distorted due to her joy. It looked so hideous that she resembled a demon from hell. Terrified, I backed off, but she grabbed me and pulled me right into her arms. She gave me firm strokes on my back and buried my head in the warm valley. However, the blood on Mom was so sickening that I couldnt breathe.


    Mommy is right here by your side. Mommy is by your side. Its all right. Its all right. Its all right. Vyvyan hugged me tightly and emotionally sobbed from overhead.


    I heard a cry from the water. At the same time, I heard the sound of metal cutting flesh ring in the air. I vigorously spun my head around and belted in the direction of the sound, Stop!


    A long sabre pinned the dragons enormous tail to the shore. Blood spurted from her tail as if it was a geyser of blood. Ying stood to one side with her ck sabre stabbed into the tail as though it was the nail in the coffin, pinning her down in front of her cave just as if she was lying in her coffin.


    I shouted toward Ying from Mommy Vyvyans embrace, Ying!! Stop!! Stop! Dont hurt her!!


    Ying froze. She then turned to look at me. She was stained with blood, but her face was particrly clean. She looked at me and calmly saluted me as if we were in the pce: Hello, Your Majesty. It is truly an honour to see you again after not seeing you in so long.


    Kill her!! Vyvyan shouted toward Ying from overhead.


    Ying ignored Vyvyan. As a matter of fact, she didnt even look in her direction. She ignored Vyvyansmand and pulled her de out. She then stood motionless to the side. Surprised, Vyvyan thundered, Ying! Did you not hear me?! Did you not hear me?! I said kill her! Understand?! Kill her?! Did you not hear me?!


    I apologise, Queen Vyvyan. I am not your bodyguard but His Majestys. I do not need to take orders from you. I only need to take orders from His Majesty. He has asked me to stop, so naturally, shall not continue. I am d you are all right, Your Majesty. Ying politely and yet resolutely refused Vyvyan.


    Vyvyan was the ruler of elves and a powerful mage. Normally, nobody would defy her orders. If the person in question wasnt Ying, Vvyyan could easily kill them, and then carry out the order herself. As for Ying, however, she wasnt confident that she could kill her. She knew Ying was capable of killing her.


    Vyvyan clenched her teeth. She then looked at me. It was clear she was in a dilemma. She sped my face and asked, Son, Son, Im d youre okay. Im d the dragon didnt hurt you. Also, I see that your mana has recuperated. Did you find a way?


    I gripped Mommy Vyvyans arms with a vice-like grip. I trembled as I looked at her. In my hoarse voice, I incoherently uttered, Dont kill the dragon Dont kill her Dont kill her She saved my life She saved my life


    My entire body was trembling. I was truly scared. I was truly scared the dragon would die. While I had only just met her, she was my final hope to survive. Further, she hadnt shown me any animosity. I wasnt rted to her by blood, but she was been very gentle with me. She genuinely did what a mother would just as my clueless Mommy Elizabeth did back then.


    I didnt want to kill her. I once killed thest dark elf. I didnt want to see thest dragon die in front of me, not to mention the fact that she loves me. I didnt consider her a bad individual. In fact, I didnt consider her an innocent person, either. Instead, I considered her someone who loves me just as my two moms did.


    Vyvyan looked at me with a startled look. Id hazard a guess that she was suspecting the dragon made me silly to make such a request. But nheless, she then seemingly realised something, so she seriously asked, This dragon provided you with mana? Is that how this dragon helped you?


    I solemnly nodded: Yes.


    While quivering, I pleaded, So please I beg you Mom Mom, please dont hurt her please Please dont hurt her Dont kill her.


    Its all right. Its all right. Youre right, Son, we shouldnt kill her. Vyvyan solemnly nodded then looked toward the dragon. Though she didnt intend to kill the dragon then and there, the vicious aura in her eyes had yet to dissipate: I should bring her back and raise her. That way, you can extract her saliva and blood daily to sustain your life. You dont have to worry about that, Son. Its not a human being. Its just a mere wild beast, and she killed your father.


    The dragon howled. She was still incapacitated, since she was covered in wounds. But nevertheless, she spat out mouthfuls of blood as she shouted. Vyvyan aggressively waved, causing the water in theke to rise up and continually ssh on the dragons face. True, the dragon was a very strong creature, but it still needed to breathe in spite of that. Wave after wave of water mixed with her own blood sshed on her. Not even a dragon could withstand that.


    Stop!! I shouted.


    I gave Vyvyan a hard tug. She let out a high-pitched scream and crashed onto my chest. She looked at me in a daze. Her expression showed that she was both startled and baffled. I guess it was the first time I outright opposed her. I argued with her before, but I never got physical with her. I wouldnt hurt her with a tug, but it was the strongest form of resistance Id ever shown her.


    Vyvyan gripped my shoulders and eximed, What are you doing?! Son! Dont tell me you have developed feelings for this dragon! Son, your kindness shouldnt be wasted on the dragon. Have you forgotten she killed your father?


    Vyvyan was very shocked and perplexed. Having said that, I was sure she wouldnt hurt me. I took in a deep breath and sincerely exined, Mom. Mom, sorry. Sorry, but please listen to me. Im begging you. Its not how you think it was. Its not. This dragon has no animosity toward us. She truly helped me and saved me. She didnt cause my fathers death. She loved my father


    I suddenly stopped. However, what surprised me was that Vyvyan was nonchnt. Instead, she kept staring at me as though she wanted to know what I wanted to say. She argued, Son, this dragon isnt our friend, regardless. Moreover, shes your fathers mistress, so I all the more why I should kill her!


    My father is already dead!


    I still cant forgive her! Son, you think I dont know? This dragon wants you to stay and be her child! You wont agree to it and neither will I. Dont pity her, Son. Youre being imprisoned here. You dont need to be scared anymore, because your Mommy is here. You dont need to be afraid!


    Mom, Im not being imprisoned. This dragon I do indeed also consider I think mm


    Dont tell me you consider her your Mom!!


    Vyvyans gaze instantly turned ferocious. It was the first time that she looked at me with such an enraged and vengeful gaze. I felt my heart freeze. Mommy Vyvyan then choked me with her hand that was on my shoulder. I futilely tried to breathe, but all I could hear was her yelling.


    Im your Mom! Im your Mom! Look carefully! Look carefully!!! Im your Mom! Im your Mom!! I gave birth to you! I raised you!! You were always by my side since you were a kid!! I was always the one who protected you and took care of you at all times!! Im your Mom! Im your Mom! Have you forgotten that? Do you not care?! I could give up the entire world for you, yet youre calling somebody else Mom just because of what happened for a few days?! I did so much for you! I gave my entire life to you just to hear you call me Mom! Is this how youre going to treat me?!! Is this how youre going to treat me?!! If even you refuse to acknowledge me, Id rather kill you! I would rather kill you, and then destroy this world! If not even you need me, then this world doesnt need to exist!!


    I felt myself suffocating. I couldnt get Mommy Vyvyans hand off. I saw tears well up in her eyes. Mommy Vyvyans face was covered in tears of despair. I futilely opened my mouth, as not a word came out. I felt I was wrong. I was seriously going to die. Vyvyan had no intention of letting go.


    I pondered, Am I really going to be strangled to death by my Mom? Moms heart mustvepletely died when I said that. I wouldnt put it past her to kill me, and then destroy this world right now


    Roar!!


    The wounded dragon, who was covered in blood and barely breathing, suddenly stood up from the water. She mustered up every ounce of strength she had left and raised her humungous w. She roared as she swung toward Vyvyan. Vyvyan didnt notice the w swinging toward her, but I saw it. However, I couldnt stop her! I didnt want either of my moms to get hurt, but I was powerless to do anything about it! I had already reached my limit. All of my cells were begging my lungs for onest ounce of oxygen.


    My hands powerlessly went limp. Myst ounce of energy vanished along with the w approaching I couldnt believe my own biological mom strangled me to death What a sad ending
