Book 16: Chapter 25


    Im sorry, Mom!


    While there was mana holding me down, my arm could freely move at longst. I pulled out the mana dissolving potion from my pocket and threw it at Mom. The content instantly dispersed the mana holding me down. Some of the potion sprayed onto Mom. Mom crankily wiped it off her face. When she opened her eyes again, I had already leapt at her. I forced her to the ground and pinned her there.


    Son!! What are you doing?! What are you doing?!


    Mommy Vyvyan possessed tremendously powerful mana, but it didnt change the fact that her physical strength was rtively poor, much poorer than Mommy Elizabeths. Additionally, with my dragon body, I could restrain her without a hassle. The next step was to stop Mommy Vyvyan from thinking.


    I quickly went down and kissed her lips. At the same time, I ripped a piece of material to tie around her wrists. I was aware that it wasnt nice of me. Surprisingly, Mom didnt resist. To the contrary, she showed that she looked forward to what was to follow with her eyes. I could see what she was thinking from her gaze. I, apparently, just wanted to try a different fetish.


    I removed my lips then shoved a bunch of cloth into Moms mouth while she had her infatuated gaze on. She didnt even realise that I had shoved stuff into her mouth. To be frank, I wasnt sure if thatd work or not. I just thought that, since mana was required


    In the next instant, though, I levitated into the air and found myself pressed against a magic wall. Then, I had my head mmed into the ground. Next, I was restrained on the ground again. I heaved a big breath. I despairingly watched Mom spit the cloth out of her mouth. She then reduced the cloth to microscopic portions. She licked her lips and pursed her lips into a smile: Son, what are you still struggling for? Why are you trying so hard to run from Mommy? Is it because theres a wish that Mommy cant fulfil for you? Cant you get whatever you want from Mommy? You want power, Mommys body and a child. Hasnt Mommy given you all of that?!


    Mom! That Thats not what I want. I want a family. What I want is my family, my Lucia!


    So you dont want Mommy?!! You were once always by Mommys side. Back then, you were always by Mommys side. You only had Mommy back then, so why dont you need Mommy anymore? Whats so good about Lucia? Mommy has a better body and background than her. Look, your child with her is just an ordinary elf, too. She shouldnt be your wife. The only one whos worthy of being your wife is me! Son! Mommy can give you everything you want! What else are you unhappy about?! How is Mommy inferior to that elf in any way?!


    Purely because shes Lucia. Purely because I fell in love with her when I met her in the flower garden that day. Mom, I love you, as well; however, my love for you ispletely different. My love for you and Lucia is different. While I want to live with all of you, if youre asking me who Id dedicate my love to as husband and wife, Ill choose Lucia!


    Mommy can, too! Elves dont have misgivings about that! Why cant you ept Mommy?! Its almost been a year! Its almost been a year! Do you know how much Mommy has suffered in this year?! Do you know how upsetting and painful it was for Mommy to watch you two live together?! Do you?! Do you?!!! Mommy would be fine with living away from you two, as well; else, Mommy will definitely go crazy!


    But youre already crazy!!


    I noticed a golden light the sky in the distance all of a sudden. The wolves left a while ago. Only a couple of them continued watching us out of immense interest as if they were awaiting the continuation of our performance.


    It was dawn before we knew it. The full-moon night didnt have to wait until the sun came up. The effects slowly wore off. The crazed animals in the forest gradually recovered. I didnt know what happened in the imperial pce, but it was alreadyte. No matter what happened, it was toote for me to do anything. All I could do was pray that Lucia was able to ovee whatever challenge was thrown her way.


    I nkly looked at Mommy Vyvyan. She, too, looked at me. I believe that she had returned to normal. She was more intelligent than wolves. I, therefore, reasoned there was no way that shed recover slower than them. As a matter of fact, I suspected Mom pretended to be affected.


    You saw through me? Son, it seems I couldnt trick you However however, those are Mommys heartfelt thoughts. Thanks to that child, I was able to say everything on my mmind; otherwise, I might never have been able to bring myself to say it, Son.


    My answer remains the same. I still want to be with Lucia Mom, despite despite everything thats happened between us I I still want to marry Lucia because because I wanted to live with her as husband and wife ever since that time in the flower garden. Mom, cant you ept being a mother by my side?


    Because you only have one mother, and Im your mother, what does that make Elizabeth? What are Elizabeth and I to you?


    Mm simr to Nier and Lucias rtionship.


    Im amazed you can say that, said Mom, as she knocked on my head with a smile. She then stood up with a helpless smile and sighed: Mommy understands now. Consider this Mommy being too bored; actually, consider it something Mommy said due to a mana problem Leave what happened in the forest behind in the forest. Oh, I almost forgot. You dont need to watch anymore.


    Mom waved her hand. The wolves yawned. They stood up and wagged their tails as they left. The mana wall in front of us also disappeared as they left. Mom sighed again: Lets head back, Son. Dont worry about Lucia. Shes a genius at dealing with white deer in the first ce, so it should be easy for her to kill a group of white deer.


    Yeah?


    I began to walk toward the exit. I felt I forgot something.


    Help me help begged the girl.


    Hearing the girls pleas, Mommy Vyvyan expressed, Son, honestly, I dont want to bother with her.


    I dont think we she should ignore her After all shes just a kid.
