Chapter 7

Son-con – Vol . 13 Ch . 07

We only needed to load food and necessities onto the boat over the next few days . However, it wasn’t a simple matter . Mommy Vyvyan stepped up to provide us with the most perfect assistance . She helped us prevent food from going stale . Due to having to stop at the port in the South, we needed to have sufficient food supplies . Wine may not spoil easily, but it wasn’t food that; it couldn’t replace our sustenance needs .

Mommy Vyvyan used time magic to seal the food inside the chests . The spell remained active even after opening the chests . The hygiene and taste also wouldn’t be impacted thanks to the time magic .

The last step was to pack luggage with my wives . I could tell Lucia was very skilled at packing, as she swiftly packed her luggage into a bag . Nier should logically be as swift as Lucia, since she was a Valkyrie for so long, but she was at a loss for what to do when she had so much stuff . As a result, I had the head maid help Nier pack . However, I felt that I gave the wrong order . What I meant was for her to help Nier pack, not to move whatever Nier said to move! When I saw the maids struggling to move a pot, I knew it was Nier’s genius idea… She didn’t seem to understand we were going on a vacation . Not moving houses .

Before we left the Imperial Palace of the North, I wanted to go and visit Ling Yue . Ling Yue had been pregnant for a long time . She was scheduled to give birth in just three to four more months . Therefore, she didn’t join us . With that said, I needed to make a trip to her place to see her . I couldn’t let Lucia and Nier be all smiles outside, yet not inform Ling Yue . Thus, I had arrived at the entrance to her estate . Evelyn happened to be at the door . She met me with a smile: “Greetings, Your Majesty . Are you here to see Miss Ling Yue this time?”

“Yeah . I’m here to see her . ”

I gave the White Deer King a few pats on his face . He curiously inspected Evelyn . It was the first time he wore such a gentle expression . That made me a little sad . It was the first time he was friendly, yet it wasn’t with me, who went through life and death with him… Evelyn walked up to him and touched his head . She then said, “I am very sorry, Your Majesty, Ling Yue said that she does not wish to see you right now . More precisely, she does not want to see you until she gives birth, so you need not come . ”

“But I want to talk to her . Lucia, Nier and I will be going out to the ocean . Ling Yue can’t come with us, since she’s pregnant, but I, at least, need to tell her .   I want to see her before I head out . Can’t I?”

Evelyn sighed: “I think that it is best that you do not see her now . She does not wish to see you right now, either . How shall I put it…? She is very aggressive right now . Ling Yue is… similar to a frightening wild beast at the moment…  That is precisely why she does not wish to see you nowadays . I believe that Ling Yue will be very pleased to know that you came specifically to keep her company before going out to sea . Therefore, it is better for you to return now . ”

In a serious tone, I replied, “Ling Yue is my lover no matter what she has become . I want to see her now . Evelyn, you don’t need to stop me . Ling Yue is never with me, and I haven’t received any letters from her, so I must see her . I don’t care how Ling Yue is now . I must spend a day by her side even if she is very dangerous . If you don’t let me in today, I shall stay here for the entire day . ”

Slightly distressed, Evelyn responded, “Your Majesty, please do not make things hard for me . I am not allowing you passage, because it is Ling Yue’s wish . I live with her… If I let you through, how am I to explain myself to her? It would not be good if I did not allow you through, either…”

“Let me through, then, Evelyn . Do you genuinely think Ling Yue doesn’t want to see me?” I smiled and touched the White Deer King .

Evelyn slowly made way and let out a heavy sigh: “Okay, okay, Your Majesty . I do not know anymore . Go on and see her . But remember: do not let her hurt you . ”

I nodded, and then left the stables . Ling Yue only had four horses at her place . The White Deer King snorted, and then buried its head in the haystack of the others: “Make do with it for now and eat some of this . ”

From behind, Evelyn softly stated, “Ling Yue is at the rear of the house . Be careful, Your Majesty . ”

I truly didn’t know how Ling Yue is dangerous . I strode the rear of the estate . As soon as I reached the corner, a heavy breathing sound froze me . I also heard the something thud against the ground . Dust blew along with the rhythm of the smacking . The sounds of the thuds were heavy . It was clear that it was a huge beast . I’d believe you if you told me there was a dinosaur in the backyard…

My tension rose . I walked over and was met with a moist, hot mist . My vision was instantly obstructed by a gust of dirt, and I smelt a rancid stench . I felt a heavy pressure from head to toe . Before I could react, my legs went weak as though something was pressing down on them . Immediately after, I felt an aggressive swing . It was the first time I experienced how it felt to prepare to take flight . I flew through the air and crashed into a wall, which left me feeling as though all of my bones had snapped .

It took me a long time before I crawled to my feet from the ground . The world appeared to be spinning . I looked up to see the dust descending . I slowly raised my head to see what exactly smacked me . As soon as I raised my head, though, I was met with blood-red eyes akin to a lantern . She blew moist, hot air from her black nose . She revealed her fangs with saliva stretched between her bottom and top row .

It took a second before I realised I still had a foot on my back . She pinned my back down using her large paws . She watched me from the ground . She had shed a fair bit of fur, so her ears that I liked were virtually furless, revealing her pink flesh underneath . Her appearance rendered her dispirited .

*Hiss…*

The huge fox looked into my eyes . While she had her paws pressed down on me, she didn’t cause me any harm, since her thick flesh acted as padding . She looked at me and revealed her fangs before blowing out a breath of air .

“Why did you come?”

She pressed down on me and spoke through her teeth .

“Because I’m about to head out…”

“Then, why come? I told you I don’t want to see you in my current state! I look very ugly right now, and I’m very aggressive . I don’t want to let you see this look of mine . ”

I looked into her eyes and sincerely told her, “I don’t mind . You’re still Ling Yue . You’re still the Ling Yue I love even when you’re in this state . You transformed into this state due to your pregnancy, right? You’re in this state for our child . This is another side of you . I love you, so I love everything about you, and so I love you even in your current state! I insist on telling you before I leave . ”

After listening to everything I had to say, she slowly moved her front paw off my back and placed it aside, consequently revealing her bulging belly . She narrowed her eyes: “… Come closer . ”

I walked over slowly and sat down at her chest . I leaned onto her furry chest, and she lay down with her eyes shut . In a soft voice, she told me, “Since you’ve come, I’ll do something with you . ”

“I’m happy as long as you’re by my side . ”

“… Up to you, then . ”

Ling Yue appeared to not care on the surface . She gently wrapped her front claw around my chest, nevertheless . I pressed my hand onto her front paws . I then quietly chuckled and leaned onto her body . We literally didn’t say anything . We just let out a carefree chuckle every now and then . In saying that, I noticed that her tail cheerfully wagging around behind me despite no longer being smooth…
