Dragons’ Cry Genesis (Part 16)
I knew Freya didn’t believe my two moms could come, because if they did, Mommy Elizabeth wouldn’t have had to leave in the first place. However, things were different. Mom had to return last time, for she had been away for too long. This time, however, Mom only just arrived. Furthermore, the three monarchs meeting to talk about the alliance was a legitimate reason.
Freya was aghast and speechless when she saw Vyvyan in the Imperial Palace already. Vyvyan placed her breakfast teacup down and looked at me with a smile. She walked up to me and kissed my forehead. She pitifully touched my face” “Son, you’ve been burdened with too much. Freya alone isn’t enough. You need a group around you. Look how worn out you are. This makes Mommy’s heart ache. You have to rest, Son.”
Freya wore a slightly grim expression. I know Freya was upset to hear Vyvyan’s comment. After all, Freya had always viewed herself as my only strategist, something which she was proud of. With Vyvyan criticising her for that, she was upset. Most importantly, if it was somebody else who criticised her, she could verbally slam them. The problem was the person in front of her was her brother’s mom, so she couldn’t fire back. Consequently, all she could do was pitifully hide and look at me with puppy eyes.
I smiled: “It’s not Freya’s problem. I don’t always have so much work. The main reason for it is that I’ve had relatively lots of work due to my status as the leader of the alliance. It’s all right. Trust me.”
Freya let out a breath of relief after hearing what I said. However, Mommy Vyvyan’s expression didn’t change. Vyvyan clasped my face. shook my head with a smile. She sighed: “Mommy knows you. You’re so gentle. You take everything onto your shoulders without telling Mommy. Nevertheless, you must still make sure to rest. You can’t let something happen to you again. You mustn’t. Every time something happens to you is a disaster to Mommy. You must look after yourself for Mommy’s sake.”
I nodded: “I’m fine, Mom. I can handle it.”
“Mommy doesn’t want to hear that now…” Mommy Vyvyan pulled me into her embrace. I experienced the bliss of suffocation again.
While Dragon Mom’s breasts were slightly larger than Mommy Vyvyan’s, I still particularly liked Mommy Vyvyan’s Breast Burial Fatality the best. I didn’t know how it was so comfortable, nor did I know how much force she used. I lost all my will to fight on when I was in her embrace. I just wanted to stay in her soft valleys forever.
“Stop, stop. I must stop. It’s daytime. I can’t lose my determination now. I still have lots of work waiting for me. I can’t lose my determination yet.” I stopped myself from slacking off. I then expressed, “Mom, I need your help… I am… actually feeling a little tired…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Mommy Vyvyan smiled. She excitedly touched my head. She added, “You’ve done well enough. You’ve done enough. Son, Mommy will help you. Mommy will help you. Mommy can’t do much, but Mommy will try Mommy’s best.”
I smiled and kissed Mom’s cheek. Dragon Mom unhappily snorted. Vyvyan snickered but didn’t comment. Instead, she sat down to the side and remarked: “My poor son. You’re always saying you’ve grown up, but look at you; you’re suffering again in the end. You clearly still need Mommy to take care of you, but Mommy isn’t by your side. Plus, you have to take care of your wilful family.”
“That…”
“No, I’m not picking on you.”
With a smile, Vyvyan glanced at Freya and Nier, who were looking somewhat grim. Lucia guiltily lowered her head. Vyvyan then looked at Dragon Mom. With a soft laugh, she said, “You’re my son’s wives and sister, so it’s only a matter of course for you to be wilful and act coquettish with him. But someone in particular calls themself my son’s mother, yet she isn’t doing what a mother should. Instead, she’s just troubling my son, isn’t she?”
Normally, it’d be fine for Vyvyan to say that. That time, nonetheless, I thought things were going to take a turn for the worse. Dragon Mom didn’t fight back. Instead, she fearfully curled up similarly to a child whose prank was exposed. Dragon Mom looked at me feeling somewhat scared. Vyvyan was just taking a jab at her, but she didn’t know that Dragon Mom actually took it to heart, because she was most guilty about it. Mommy Vyvyan quickly seemed to catch on. She didn’t think much of it at first, since that was how she treated Elizabeth. Under normal circumstances, Elizabeth would snigger as she always did, and then fire back at her. Their quarrel ended, but Vyvyan knew I would lose time comforting Dragon Mom, so she turned away and stopped with her criticism.
I walked up to Dragon Mom. I touched her hand. I didn’t have time to console her right then, so I planned to talk to her at night. I gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek: “Good morning, Mom. I still don’t have any news, but I will inform you when I find out something.”
“… If it’s not feasible…”
I cut off Dragon Mom’s sorrowful voice and forcefully tugged her hand: “I have news to share with you today.”
Dragon Mom reacted surprised, and then she affectionately nodded. Mommy Vyvyan glanced at me. She then lowered her head and picked up her breakfast in silence. I didn’t speak any further.
When I had to work, I brought Mommy Vyvyan along. I need Mommy Vyvyan to learn how to work. I didn’t invite her over just to check up on me or experience life. I really needed my two moms to help me with work. I needed them to help me manage the North in my absence. Furthermore, I had to keep the two in check order to ensure fairness. That was the only way I could avoid tipping balance of favour of the North toward humanity or elves.
I had to personally make the trip with Dragon Mom. I did promise my wives I wouldn’t leave again, but I thought it would be safe. After all, I was in my territory, and I had my powerful Dragon Mom. Plus, if I managed to find that the dragon race was still alive, I didn’t think they’ll kill me out of consideration of my mom. In any case, I had to go with Dragon Mom for it. To be honest, Dragon Mom was so powerful that I really didn’t want to see her leave.
Dragon Mom was a pure-blooded dragon in the dragon race. She was also very powerful, so I was certain the dragons will definitely respect her opinion. That meant I had to go search for the dragons with Dragon Mom. On one hand, I had to ensure they wouldn’t cause trouble in my territory. On the other hand, I didn’t want to lose my dragon. If I could find the pride of dragons, I might’ve been able to use them if Dragon Mom could lead them. Of course, I didn’t believe that was possible. Given the dragons’ proud character, there was no way they’d submit to me. But nonetheless, I, at least, wanted to keep my Dragon Mom.
Dragon Mom must’ve wanted to tell me that she wanted me to forget it if I didn’t have time. I was conscious of the fact she didn’t want to give up, in saying that. I didn’t want to give up, either. I couldn’t accept me telling her about it then turning around at the end to say, “I don’t have time, so I can’t search for them,” and then force her to stay in the Imperial Palace. How was that different to lying to Dragon Mom? That was a malicious lie. Giving Dragon Mom hope and then throwing her into despair was not on. Her own kin was in front of her, yet she could never meet them. That was why I had to take Dragon Mom on a search for the dragon race. I couldn’t go back on my words. I had done so much for my other two moms. It was time I did something for my Dragon Mom.
Freya seemed to be a little unhappy, hence was unwilling to tell Mommy Vyvyan what she should do. After all, Vyvyan was an outsider from Freya’s perspective. She was trustworthy, but she was being asked to put the life of the North in the grip of another, not to mention the fact Vyvyan criticised her…
That was Vyvyan’s habit. She didn’t think well of anybody around me, which was why she’d attack them at every opportunity. Freya didn’t seem to understand Vyvyan yet, leading to her feeling sour. Mommy Vyvyan earnestly listened. She was the ruler of elves, but the North was different to the elven kingdom at the end of the day. I needed to leave Freya behind to manage the North with them.
Mommy Vyvyan set down the seal. She looked at me and solemnly said, “Son, what are you going to do after getting Mommy to do your work? Are you planning to go somewhere? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go out again? Son, do not go somewhere dangerous again!! Be considerate of Mommy. Can’t you live here in peace for a while?”
“Mom, I guarantee I’m not going somewhere dangerous this time. It’s here in the North. I guarantee there are no dangerous places in the North. In addition, I’ll be bringing Dragon Mom, so I’ll definitely be safe.”
Vyvyan’s gaze was overwhelming with distrust and jealousy. She sighed: “You don’t even need Mommy to protect you anymore…? What’s the point of Mommy being alive anymore…?”
“Mom… this is not what it is about. I’m doing this for Dragon Mom and the safety of the North this time. I promise not to go anywhere dangerous. Mom, it’s incredibly important for you to stay here, as well. You’re the only one who can help me. Dragon Mom can’t. Only you and Elizabeth can help me… Please allow me to be out there without having to be concerned about things back here!”
