So, you plan to go ahead with it, Your Majesty? asked Nier, placing her hand on the back of mine.
I didnt immediately answer. Instead, I continued gazing in Vyvyan and Dragon Moms direction. I was still waiting for them to finish their talk. It could still be considered peaceful on my end. Vyvyan and Elizabeth, however, quarrelled again and even prepared to wage war again.
Vyvyan grabbed Elizabeth by the collar and thundered, What exactly do you want?! What do you want?! You want to betray my son just so that you can extend your life? Youre treating my son as a tool and currency for a longer lifespan?! Hes my son. Not your coin to purchase more life!
Vyvyan rolled her fingers into balls of fury. Dragon Mom wanted to speak up, but Vyvyan shot her a furious glare when the former went to speak. Vyvyan roared, You shut up! You two arent worthy of being mothers! Is a child someone you can use for an exchange?! Hes my son! Mine! What he wants to do is his business! You made up a decision for your own self-interest without even bothering to ask my son for his say. How dare you call yourselves my sons mothers when youre this self-centred?!
Vyvyan went bonkers after she learnt of their plan. Elizabeth took in a deep breath before she responded, I must admit that I didnt get my sons approval on the matter, which is why I cant argue your point. I would feel a bit better if you punched me; I dont mind. In saying that, Ill be sure to retaliate. I didnt wrong you. The only one I wronged was my son.
Elizabeth turned her head to look at me with a bitter look. I shook my head ever so slightly.
After I found out that Elizabeth had struck a deal, she was put in charge of persuading me, while Mommy Sylvanas would provide Mommy Elizabeth with a dragon egg to help extend her lifespan. I was startled to learn about that. Even so, I could understand Elizabeths thinking. If I was the one who was offered the deal, I, too, wouldve acquired the egg for her because I also wanted for Mommy Elizabeth to be able to spend longer at my side.
Mommy Elizabeth was a human. A humans lifespan was far too short. At the moment, Mommy Elizabeth looked young. In truth, she had already gone through a third of her life, which was a time period where I wasnt part of her life. Mommy Vyvyan, on the other hand, had always been by my side since I was a child, and shed be able to continue to do so in the future. That was too harsh on Mommy Elizabeth. She had always been fighting with Mommy Vyvyan over me, but Mommy Vyvyan soon wouldnt need to fight for me again. Once Elizabeth passed away, Mommy Vyvyan would remain the same. She wouldnt even have so much as a wrinkle.
Mommy Elizabeth wanted a longer lifespan. Perhaps she wanted one equal to Mommy Vyvyans. Even if she couldnt have a lifespan as long as Vyvyans, she still wanted more time to spend by my side. I could understand that. The issue was that I didnt want to hurt my wives in exchange for that, as it was unfair on my wives.
Vyvyan brayed, Youre unworthy of being a mother when youre so selfish. Youre not worthy of staying by my sons side. Youre not worthy of fighting me for my son. You dont even have any self-awareness as a mother. That goes for the both of you! Im taking my son back. Im taking him back to the elven forest. I wont allow you to use my son as a commodity to trade. My son is my son, my cutest Troy. Hes not your tool for a trade, and not a currency for you to buy life!!
Fearfully, Irina softly stated, Your Majesty, I will never see you that way.
I nodded: I know.
Irina was somewhat pure-minded. Plus, it was easy to read her via her gaze. There wasnt any trace of ulterior motives or schemes in her gaze. Her gaze, when she looked at me, was filled with love after she had a child. It was the exact same look Nier had back then. Irina didnt view me as a tool. Camille considered me a tool but not Irina. Perhaps Irina didnt quite understand her mothers intent, which was why she still loved me wholeheartedly.
Lucia vigilantly watched Irina. She then quietly said, Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do? I dont quite understand
Lucia I Im still not sure because I dont know what you all think. I smiled and then touched Lucias small head.
Lucia cheerfully squinted: Your Highness, were not the best people to ask about this strange thing. Is Irina your mistress? As an elf, I cant accept it. Speaking of which, you and Miss Ling Yue are in a relationship, arent you? She saved my life, however, so I can overlook it. Whats Irina considered, though?
It doesnt matter to me, Nier interjected, shaking her head. She then looked to Irina and elaborated, I dont think it matters either way. If Irina doesnt get involved with us, our lives and you can ignore the child, in addition to not getting involved with my Daisy, then I can also approve. Further, this has to do with Empress Elizabeth. I will support Her Majesty.
Mm In a soft voice, I explained, Lucia, I need to be candid with you. Honestly, if it wasnt for this, I wouldnt agree to Mommy Sylvanas and Irinas request. I outright refused them from the beginning, but now I want the dragon egg.
Lucia, you struggle to comprehend it, dont you? For a human, their lifespan is very short. See how Mommy Elizabeth and Mommy Vyvyan look to be around the same age? Well, very soon, roughly by the time our girls have grown up, Mommy Elizabeth would already be old. Once our girls are adults, Mommy Elizabeth will have to leave us. On the other hand, Mommy Vyvyan would probably be around to see me lying on the bed whimpering my last words. Therefore, this is nothing short of torture for Mommy Elizabeth. Further, its not fair at all, wouldnt you agree?
Lucia inquired, So, youve agreed to it?
Mm I need to get your opinion.
Lucia grinned. After a short pause, she let out a long sigh. Then, she slapped me across the face twice. I could hear ringing in my ears, but the slaps didnt hurt. Despite me doing something so outrageous, Lucia still couldnt bear to viciously hit me. She pulled her hand back. Tone gentle, she said, Have it your way, then. However. However, you must do as Nier said. I do not want to see another person around.
Sorry, Lucia
Ive had enough of your apologies. Your Highness Please Please never apologise to me again
