Book 16: Chapter 7


    When I woke up the next day, the sky was clear again. The peaceful breeze and birds chirps came through the window, whisking the clear scent of grass and flowers to me. I opened my eyes. Long blonde hair brushed my cheeks. Mommy Vyvyan was deep asleep with me in her arms.


    Mom seldom woke after me. Usually, Mommy Vyvyan would be awake and looking at me. Though it was quite frightening to have somebody looking at you with such passion upon waking every morning, I eventually considered it par for the course. I was used to it. That was why I was barely surprised.


    Mom suddenly opened her eyes. Her smile was one of happiness growing, much as a spring flower opens: Good morning, Son.


    Good morning, Mom.


    Mom was her usual self. That was the morning that was supposed to greet me in the elvennds.


    Mom ran her hand down the side of my head then pulled me in for a hug. In a happy tone, she expressed, This is the type of morning that I want. Its lonely without my son. Its lonely at night and lonely when waking up. I forget what Im supposed to do when I wake up. Seeing the empty ceiling and lonely surrounding feels as though Im the only person left in the world


    Iforted Mom, reciprocating her hug: That wont happen Mom. That wont happen. Ill always be by your side. Always.


    Mommy Vyvyan sat up: Youre right, Son. Youre by my side at the moment. Needless to say, it would be even better if you could always be by my side. Get up, Son. Go see Vera and Nona, and then its time for breakfast. Its been a long time since youve had Mommys breakfast, hasnt it? Mommy will ensure you have your fill this time Sadly, our time alone together has ended Lucia ising back today. To be honest, Mommy doesnt really want to have here back.


    I sat up. I watched Mom grab socks by the side. She sat on the bed and stretched out her long and ample legs and wore on her socks. The tight socks highlighted her magnificent legs contour. The early morning sun illuminated her legs. She pulled up her socks bit by bit with her slender fingers. Finally, she hooked her finger on the edge of the sock and tugged it up, which left a perfect ditch on her thighs.


    I gently hugged Mom from behind. I rested my head on her shoulder and gently ced my finger on her thigh. I ran my finger along the smooth sock and her warm skin. I gently bit Moms ear and pressed my weight onto her from behind.


    The corners of Moms mouth tugged up. She pressed her hand on my hand that was on her thigh. She looked over her shoulder in a sensual manner. Her blue eyes seemingly gleamed with gentlenessparable to water: Son, its not wise to enjoy flirting so much. Additionally, arent you supposed to be feeling tired? Doesnt that mean what youre doing is a bit too much? Mommys afraid you wont be able to brush it off if you arouse Mommy.


    I whispered, Mom, just let me stay here. Please just let me rest on you for a bit, Mom Its been so long since youve spoilt me


    It had been so long since I had been able to rest on somebodys shoulder in peace, wake up feeling so rxed, sleep without any qualms and concerns and so long since I had been able to be affectionate in the morning.


    The North was my territory. I, therefore, had to wake earlier than everyone else. I had countless things to worry about. I had to protect my family and mynd. Respect everybody around me. Listen to everyones suggestions, lead, fulfil the shoes of King and fill the roles of a husband and father to an exemry level. When I was by Moms side, however, I didnt need to think about anything.


    At Duargana, I was just Mommy Vyvyans son and an ordinary Prince. I could act spoilt whenever I pleased and run away whenever I pleased because Mom would help me sort out all my problems. Yesterday was a prime example. I didnt need to do anything. I could leisurely stroll around the imperial pce all day. Nobody disturbed me, and I didnt have any work. I thought Id feel a little anxious, but I discovered that it wasnt the case at all. All I felt was a sense of relief. Resting on Mom was another example. I could put aside all responsibilities and desires to just rest on Moms shoulder and have her spoil me.


    Mom gave me a light kiss on my lips. I slowly responded. Mom tightly held my hand. She held it in a tender manner and refused to let go. Her kiss was warm as sunlight and sweet as honey. We separated a whileter. Mom pinched my face yfully and then rose to her feet: All right, all right now, Son. You can act spoiltter on. Mommy needs to go and prepare breakfast. Mommy knows youre tired, so you dont need to do anything or think about anything here. Mommy will protect you and take care of you.


    Thanks, Mom.


    It had been a long time since Mom spoiled me. It had been a long time since I had the opportunity to relish beingzy. As Mom said, I didnt need to do anything or think about anything in the elvennds. I just needed to entrust everything to Mom. She had never let me down.


    Mom exited the room. I, too, left shortly after to go to my daughters room. The girls werent awake yet. They werent used to not having their mom with them for the first night. The two of them lied in their cradle in a casual pose simr to a frog, thereby revealing their chubby thighs and arms. I pulled their nket over them again then touched their chubby, tiny hands.


    I sat down to one side and watched my girls sound asleep. I didnt do anything, yet could feel the bliss of peace. I was content just being able to watch my girls.


    Lucia gently opened the door. I stood up and peered over in the direction of the door. Lucia poked her small head in. She smiled when she saw me then came over with quick, yet silent, steps and threw herself into my arms. She snuggled up on my chest. In a tender voice, she said, Im Back, Your Highness, Im back. Did you miss me?


    Didnt I tell you that I would?


    Thats why I came back sooner. It seems I made it in time for breakfast. Ah, my Vera, my Nona, did you hear Mommys voice? Let Mommy hug you Oh, Vera Nona


    The kids woke up as soon as Lucia came in. They were excited to see their mom. Lucia cheerfully hugged her girls, and they kissed her. Lucia carried her girls with her back to me. She softlyughed: Your Highness, can you help me undo my tie?


    Oh, sure.


    Everything was the same as yesterday.
