Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 8 - Chapter 21

Chapter 21

“Your Majesty!!’

‘When the silhouette of the Empress’s escort appeared on the horizon, the soldiers on the city walls shouted out . The Valkyries and I stood outside the city waiting for mom’s escort . Those in the front leading the escort were also Valkyries on white horses . Whenever I see them, I remember Nier welcoming me home in her white uniform . ’                    

‘But Nier hasn’t worn that uniform in a long time . Nier, who has gotten used to dresses and skirts, hasn’t touched her Valkyrie uniform in a long time, I don’t think . In my opinion, the Valkyrie uniforms gives off its own vibe… Lucia and I did once do… while she was in her shadow squad uniform… We were happier…’

The escort slowly arrived before us . Two Valkyries gave each other a nod . I dismounted and went up to the carriage to pull the door open . Before I could speak, two silhouettes leapt at me . My first reaction was fright . I thought there were assassins were hiding in there to kill me .

However, I then smelt the familiar scents in my arms . I took two steps back to steady myself, since catching them both almost threw my back out . I smiled as I stroked the heads of the two who leapt at me . With surprise and joy, I exclaimed, “Nier?! Lucia?! How come you two are here too?!”

“Mm… I wanted to be with you, Your Majesty… Though I said all that, I still want to be by your side…”

“Your Highness, we’ve been apart for so long and my body is stabilising, too . I also wanted to see you . I really, really wanted to see you . ”

Lucia and Nier did everything they could to knock the other way in order to monopolise my embrace, so they kept wriggling around in my arms . Their gazes for each other sure didn’t show a hint of joy from having not met in a long time . Their gazes were filled with rage and hostility for each other . They wished for nothing more than to slash the other to death, and then curl up in my arms in peace .

“Okay, okay, you two . We haven’t entered the city yet . It’s a little too early for you to be clinging to him . ”

A domineering voice came from behind them . The two of them paused and then stepped back from me . I looked behind them to see Vyvyan smiling and Elizabeth with a stern expression . I made a small bow then smiled and greeted them, “Your Majesty, Your Highness, welcome to Hilles City . ”

Vyvyan nodded with a smile . I noticed her body dangerously shudder .

‘I’m fairly certain she wanted to leap at me like Lucia and Nier did . Maybe she would’ve been the first to leap at me before if my two wives weren’t present . ’

Vyvyan’s finger quivered .

‘I’m fairly certain she wanted to leap over and kiss me . ’        

Elizabeth looked at me, but hesitated for a moment before asking, “Ah… Uhm… Yeah… So, have there been any problems in the Royal Capital during your stay?”

“Everything has been well, Your Majesty . ”

“Good . Let’s enter the city now then . ”

Elizabeth kept it short . Nier then quickly requested, “Your Majesty, I would like to ride a horse with His Majesty into the city . ”

“Oh?” Elizabeth nodded and asked, “Will you be all right?”

“I will be all right . My child will be fine . ”

Nier nodded . Lucia then raised her hand and said, “Me too, then . I want to ride with His Highness into the city, as well then . ”

“All right . ”

Vyvyan nodded . She provided Lucia with a barrier, so Lucia was actually safer than Nier . As a result, Lucia could run about unlike Nier . According to what Lucia, herself, said, she was always particularly tired, because her child absorbed her mana to take shape . However, things have stabilised now so she can run around now .

Vyvyan shut the carriage’s door . She then patted her chest . She let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “I nearly died . I’m going to die . My son was so cool, so handsome and so cute just now . I almost couldn’t help myself from hugging him… My goodness, this is so scary . My son is becoming cooler and cooler, and he’s becoming more and more handsome now . He’s my son without a doubt . The older he becomes, the more I like him…”

Elizabeth hesitated for a moment then looked at her own hand and responded, “I do envy Nier and Lucia . My son has never been so intimate with me, yet they can get hugs from him . I was, honestly, a little upset when he hugged them just now . Moreover, my son has grown up . ”

Vyvyan pursed her lips into a smile then sighed, “Seeing my son so old and tall now makes me feel that I’ve aged . Thinking back to how we used to live makes me feel strangely nostalgic . He grew up while we were fighting each other for him . My Troy doesn’t need anybody to look after him anymore .

“He’s my son . ” Elizabeth emphasised that again before saying, “You’re right, you’re right, my son has grown up . We can focus on staying at home to raise him now . Troy now feels similar to Inard . ”

“Uhm . ” Vyvyan nodded and then said, “This is my first time at your Royal Capital . What does your Royal Capital have that could amaze me?”

“Probably the surrounding scenery . ”

Elizabeth pulled one of the veils open, and then leaned on the window . She used the black veil to cover her face . Vyvyan looked at the massive crowd of people outside with astonishment . Everybody was loudly yelling from upstairs, both sides of the street and even people standing on the roofs . Everybody’s face was red with excitement .

Vyvyan listened to the people shouting outside . Her ears twitched due to the shouting . The people below shouted, “long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty” .

“Humans . You humans sure are unnaturally good at reproducing, huh…”

“So you’re saying we’re like rats?” Elizabeth chuckled . She wasn’t offended . She then continued, “It’s because we’re open-minded . We wouldn’t live in a small forest until we die . We will go outside, discover countless lands and countless places to improve our homes . We have short lifespans; hence, we do our best to love others . We won’t wait for love . Instead, we’ll go and proactively search for love . ”

“I think I understand why Onii-sama fell in love with you back then now . ”

Vyvyan pulled her neck back then chuckled and went on, “After all, you’re much more proactive than I am . I think that being as passive as my Onii-sama was, left defenceless against you . Whatever, though . Let’s put Onii-sama aside for now . I won’t be giving up when it comes to my son, though . ”

“I thought we had reached an agreement on this . ”

“Not at all,” Vyvyan looked at Elizabeth and said, “We might be able to make compromises when it pertains to my child . At Troy City, we could take care of my son together . This time, however, I won’t be letting you have my son again . ”

Elizabeth shuddered . She then looked at Vyvyan with a cold look, “Don’t tell me you…”

Vyvyan snickered and then casually responded, “Ah… You don’t happen to think that I can’t do anything just because you’re around, do you?”
