The Spring’s Appearance (15)

“Son! Son! Wake up!”

I felt a warm and soft sensation on my back in my hazy moments. I also felt a soft touch on my face. Next to my ear was someone anxiously calling out to me in her familiar voice. I slowly opened my eyes to see Mom’s shocked and anxious blue eyes. Her tears fell pit pat onto my face.

Before I could speak, Mom tightened her arms around me and wailed, “Mommy is so glad! Mommy is so glad!! Son, Mommy is so glad you’re all right! Mommy was so scared! Mommy was so scared this time… Mommy… Mommy… How could Mommy hurt you…? Mommy… would never be hurt you…”

“Hmm…”

All else aside, I was suffocating. I was very perplexed as to what that woman used my body for, though.

I mulled over Mom’s appearance: “Why are Mom’s clothes torn and tattered? She’s a woman, so what was she trying to do? Also, she’s Mom’s substitute. She and Mom have very similar bodies. Are there lesbians among elves?”

I think she probably only wanted to humiliate Mom with my body. I’d say she miscalculated if that was her plan. After all, Vyvyan was already used to it. Actually, I’d say Vyvyan looked forward to it. I’d be willing to bet Vyvyan relished it.

Mom finally released me. Then, she tightly clasped my face and looked into my eyes. The panic in her gaze faded. She stroked my head feeling consoled. With a smile, she expressed, “Son, you managed to recover before Mommy could establish a link with you. You do trust Mommy, after all; else, you wouldn’t have come back. Mommy is very happy. Mommy is really happy to see you again and know that you trust Mommy!”

“I won’t forget you, Mom, never. I’ll always trust you. You were always by my side no matter what. I’ll stay by your side even if you no longer need me. I promise.”

I realised Mom’s importance to me after another separation, and I finally understood just how much I loved Mom. I wanted to stay by her side even if she didn’t want me anymore. I wanted to stay by her side regardless of what the circumstances might be.

“Uhm, uhm…”

However, before I could snuggle up in Mom’s embrace for a while, I had gotten out of Mom’s embrace. I dashed over to Lucia, who was on the ground and trying to get up. I pulled her into my embrace. She struggled to look up at me from my arms. Despite me tormenting her in such a cruel way moments ago, her expression was the same as usual. There was no fear whatsoever. Instead, she looked glad to be reunited with me. She gently wrapped her arms around my back and smiled: “Your Highness, you’ve recovered… I’m so glad.”

“Sorry… sorry… sorry… sorry…”

My entire body quivered as I tightly hugged Lucia. I was afraid of losing Lucia, who’d forgive me and stay by my side no matter what. I was very scared. Lucia loved me so much and was always by my side regardless of what happened. She was able to forgive me and reveal such a blissful expression in my arms. I really loved the innocent and cute girl.

“I know. I knew from the very start that you wouldn’t hate me,” said Lucia, with a soft giggle. “After all, if you didn’t love me, I wouldn’t have two daughters who are so cute. I have always believed that you always love me whenever I look at your eyes and at our girls’ every day.”

“Yes… Lucia, I’ve always loved you. I love you very much… I’ll never abandon you, never…”

“Me, too… Your Highness… Me, too…”

Vyvyan stood up. She used a green spell to gently heal her bruises and scratches. While she was at it, she repaired her clothing. As she watched her son and Lucia, she thought, “The two of them are in each other’s embrace, while all I can do is watch. I wanted to hold my son for longer, but he ran from my embrace to hug the woman he loves. My son is no longer that child from then. He left me long ago.

This must be the loneliness of a mother. In the past, he was in my arms, yet now he’s tenderly hugging another woman. What can I do, though? What can I do? I can destroy the continent and kill anybody I please, but I can never bring my son, who belonged to me, back to my side, sadly. What else can I do besides watch?

Why does my chest hurt? It hurts more than when I was being pummelled. That moronic god doesn’t know a thing. She thinks she can hurt me with that much? Only my son knows – actually, maybe he doesn’t know – that I would never hurt him because he’s my most beloved son.”

I carried Lucia up and then glanced back at Mom. Mommy Vyvyan looked at u gentle, yet lonely. She didn’t stop me. I supposed that must’ve been the look a consoled mother wore.

I turned my attention back to Lucia and quietly asked, “Sorry, Lucia, but do you still have any strength left in you?”

Lucia hesitated for a moment then nodded. She instantly caught on to my thinking, so she lightly hopped out of my arms: “I’m fine, Your Highness. You should go and see Her Highness… I think she must’ve been hurt, as well… I can return by myself… except you can’t just brush me off tonight. I’ll be up and waiting for you to come.”

“I know. I promise to come over.”

I kissed Lucia on her lips. She nodded and then used the wall as support to slowly return to her room. I couldn’t take two people back; therefore, I had to give up on one. It wasn’t that I didn’t care about Lucia. I just knew that I’d always be by her side. Thus, I was more worried about Mom feeling lonely.

“Mom, I have lots of things I want to ask you.”

“Uhm, I know, Son. Let’s go. Let’s head back and slowly discuss it,” replied Mom, laughing in a soft voice as she watched me approach her.
