Book 15: Chapter 58


    Mommy Elizabeth sat with one leg over the other. She coldly looked at Vyvyan, who was opposite her, and frowned. Sheined, I cant get along with this woman! I thought you wanted Mommy to help you, Son. Thats totally fine. Mommy can help relieve you of your pressure. Mommy should do so, but whats with this woman, Son? You didnt mention this elf in your letter.


    No, I didnt My voice sounded weak.


    My two moms had prepared to unite already, yet they were still hostile to each other. Vyvyan indifferently snorted: Theres a procedure for everything. A tree needs to have branches before there can be leaves. A flower must have petals to bloom. You, on the other hand, dont even know what procedure means. I received my sons letter first, and I arrived first, yet you are acting as though you have the right to be saying you cant get along with me. Do you have any shame, you know, that stuff you humans have?


    Elizabeth mmed her hand on the table and stood up. She snickered: I cant believe you have the audacity to say that. My sons letter was addressed to his mom. He asked his mom for help. You think you have the prerogative to appear by my sons side? You think you can help him? Tell me what you can do.


    Vyvyan coldly replied, I can learn if I dont know. Even if I have to learn, Ill learn before you can. Nobody is born capable of everything. I taught my son how to eat with a spoon up until now. Tell me again what you did during that time. I cant believe you still think youre his mom. You didnt even fulfil the obligations of a mother, and you think you qualify to be talking about being a mom?


    Okay, okay, Moms


    You only have one mom! eximed both of my moms in unison, startling me.


    The two of them appeared to notice they gave me a fright, so they stopped quarrelling. Instead, they sat down there while shooting off their anger.


    I admit it was my mistake. I shouldnt have hid the fact that I asked them both toe in the letters Actually, if I did inform them, I think the situation would be even worse. They mightve fought just to see whod get toe.


    The truth of the matter was that the two of them had a very good rtionship. I believe they both came here in high spirits and cheerfully when they received my letter. After all, they both wanted to stay by my side and take care of me. But s, the presence of the other rained on their parades. The blissful life they imagined was shattered. The huge contradiction to what they envisioned encouraged their bickering.


    Seeing the two of them stop talking, I forced a smile. It was my problem, no question about it. It was my only choice, though. The both of them needed to be present. Else, theyd be biased. I needed both of them present to keep the other in check.


    Listen to me, uhh, Empress and Queen Um I called you here this time, because I have a situation thats beyond me. At present, I have too many things to sort out. Im referring to the work rted to the alliance I have something I must leave to deal with. During my absence, I will need you two to handle the matters pertaining to the alliance. Im sure youre both capable of handling the matters. Ill also be leaving Freya behind Of course, I am making this request of you two as monarchs


    Because neither of them acknowledged the other, I couldnt say I was pleading them as their son.


    The two looked at me and quickly nodded. I then smiled helplessly: Of course, theres one more request Id like to make as family, and that is for you two to look after my children and wives. I shouldnt have to go too far this time. Im just making a trip northwest. There wont be any danger involved, either.


    Elizabeth stated, Son, I want to know where youre going.


    I stopped to think before replying, Im not sure, either, as Im going to search for a ce. I only have a rough idea of where it is. Thus, I cant say for sure. It shouldnt be very difficult, though, neither should it take too long.


    Uhm Will it be dangerous? Elizabeth didnt seem to be concerned with what exactly I was doing. Her question about my safety mustve been what she wanted to know most.


    I responded, It should be very safe, so you dont need to worry. Im going to search for a horde of dragons. Hence, Ill be bringing the Dragon with me. Shes very powerful, so I should be safe.


    Elizabeth nodded. Elizabeth didnt know dragons very well, but Vyvyan had respect and fear for them. Dragons were truly a very powerful species. More specifically, Elizabeths attitude towards Dragon Mom wasnt the best. After all, Dragon Mom once made a request that was impossible to ept.


    Vyvyan seemed to be trying to give me encouragement: It shouldnt be dangerous. While dragons are very powerful, its possible tomunicate with them. You can search for them, Son. Notify Mommy once you locate them. Mommy will team up with Ying to y them. They are a serious threat to the continent, after all. One dragon is plenty. Of course, I dont want to keep even one around.


    As an elf, Mommy Vyvyan still harboured animosity towards dragons. In addition, Vyvyan wanted to kill the woman who was intimate with me. That being said, I was strongly against the notion of ying the dragons. To be precise, I didnt want to kill them before they were hostile to me.


    If there are no mishaps, we shouldnt fight in our own territory. If one dragon can create such uproar, a horde might do something bigger. Furthermore, the dragon is going with my son this time. If something happens, the dragon may not side with my son. Therefore, you can ignore what this woman said. Its better to avoid conflict with the dragons.


    Elizabeth made a very rational statement. That was what I had in mind. Unlike with humanity, we still needed to bnce out the bnce of power in the North. Since Mommy Vyvyan didnt have to worry about that, she didnt care about killing or sparing. She didnt consider the consequences. So ordingly, I should bear Elizabeths suggestion in mind.


    Vyvyan irritably scratched her head. That was a gesture Vyvyan performed when she realised she was wrong but was unwilling to admit it.


    I smiled. Then, I walked up to my moms sides. I held their hands and said, Moms Dont argue with me until I finish. Are you two willing to help me? I know your rtionship is not bad. I need you two to stay here at home to take care of my wives and children on top of maintaining our alliance. I know I suggested the alliance, but its not too good if I leave by myself now. At the same time, I cant dy this any longer.


    Mommy Elizabeth grabbed hold of my hand and spoke up first: No problem. No problem. If you cant take it, just leave it to me, Son. Im your mom. Ill definitely help you. Mommy will help you despite this woman being here, too!


    Vyvyan touched my head with a smile: No problem. While Mommy doesnt like this human, Mommy will do the best Mommy can. Thats how a mom is supposed to be. Son, if you dont act wilful with Mommy, whats the point of Mommys existence?


    Elizabeth and Vyvyan reached an agreement in a way. I knew their rtionship hadntpletely broken down. They would be decently friendly with each other if it wasnt for me. There shouldnt be a problem with them handling work in my absence. With my two moms at the pce, itd be easy to resolve any issues Nier and Lucia might have, since they were family.


    Everything in the Imperial Pce was sorted. I left early to let Mommy Elizabeth sleep earlier. I sent Mommy Elizabeth to her room. I saw her standing in the room, looking at me with a somewhat shy expression. I knew that what happened between us caused our interactions to be awkward when we were alone. Elizabeth always recalled what happened when we were together.


    I wasnt keen to get intimate under the sheets with her then, having said that Honestly, I was spent. After I finished with Dragon Mom, Mommy Vyvyan tortured me again. I wouldnt even be able to do it with Nier if I wanted to. Plus, Elizabeth wasnt Vyvyan. Elizabeth was very shy. She didnt want to do it. They were literally copies of Nier and Lucia.


    Mommy Elizabeth genuinely looked tired. I admit that it greatly saddened me. Mommy Elizabeth wasnt as physically healthy as she was when she was younger. She had gone through so much that the exhaustion was slowly creeping in. While her appearance didnt age, her body did.


    I obtained an unknown lifespan length through my Dragon Moms dragon blood. My former body didnt provide me with a long lifespan due to my half-human nature. My lifespan should presumably have been normal after obtaining dragon blood. I couldnt confirm how long it is, but that was the beauty of life. You never know when youll die. Thats why you try so hard to live.


    I contemted, If possible, Id like to find something from the dragons that can extend Mommy Elizabeths lifespan. Since dragon blood works, can I assume theres something else which it can be reced with?
