Son-con – Vol. 19 Ch. 53



Meanwhile, Mom and Dad…

“Vera has already been crowned? I’m surprised. I don’t know her, but I must acknowledge she sure is brave.”

“The first requirement of a monarch is bravery. Everything else can be put on the back burner until that’s in place.”

Troy passed Elizabeth a document. Elizabeth took the document sent from across the ocean, and then tossed it aside, soaking it in water. Luna scrunched it up before tossing it into the fire by the side. Vyvyan came over from another side and hugged her son. She enthused, “Don’t worry, Son, those four girls are definitely safe.”

“Oh, I’m not worried about them right now.” Troy nodded then turned his head. Being perceptive, Luna walked over and served up a tray of fruit and wine. Troy had a glance than smiled: “Luna is there anything else, for example, roast meat or something? I want to have something nice tonight. Fruit is… not quite enough.”

“Are you hungry, Your Majesty? I do not think eating fatty foods at night is prudent in consideration of your health.”

“I’m not at the age where I need to be moderating and restricting, though, am I?”

Luna nodded then left the wine. She bowed: “In that case, I shall go and prepare it. However, you should not eat too much.”

“Fuu, Son, Luna is right. It’s not very good for you to eat fatty meat at night.”

Elizabeth immediately bolted for the bottle of wine, putting a smile on Troy’s face. He asked, “What about you, then, Mom? Is drinking strong alcohol at night good for you now?”

Letting her breasts jiggle, Elizabeth had a swig. With a smile, she replied, “It’s fine, Son. I’m used to drinking alcohol. If I don’t drink every night, I’d be depriving myself. It’d be punishment. Wine isn’t unhealthy. Alcohol is fundamentally my blood.”

“I really regret not growing up by your side; otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a peculiar habit,” said Troy.

“Son, are you saying that you’re not happy about growing up by my side?” asked Vyvyan, suddenly leaning her weight on to Troy’s back and giving him a friendly smile.

Troy shuddered. He then swiftly said to Elizabeth, “If I’m being honest, I’m still somewhat worried about the situation over there. Mom, if it was you, would you want to do something with a ship?”

Elizabeth calmly answered, “Son, interfering with another nation’s internal politics is unlike you. And one more thing: it’s too far. It’s beyond your reach. You only have a naval base there, right? If the situation over there escalates, mobilising the forces from here to there will be an issue. I may be the strongest monarch here, but I wouldn’t fight in unknown terrain.

“In short, if the situation there changes, just call the children back. Of course, I’m not questioning your guards, but if the situation gets out of hand, things will change. After all, you’re bound to miss something when you try to tackle a problem you’ve never tackled before. Call your girls back if you’re worried. Moreover, Daisy will soon need to undergo preparations to succeed the throne. In my opinion, she should return; otherwise, I won’t have enough time.”

“What are you in a hurry for? There’s plenty of time, isn’t there?”

Elizabeth sighed. She touched her son’s head: “No, that only applies for you elves, doesn’t it? That doesn’t apply for humans. If my son didn’t give us an egg, it’s hard to say how long we would’ve lasted. I really want to bring Daisy back to my side, as well. Daisy is a cute girl.”

“You’re right… Ah, of course, the other girls are cute, too…”

Troy’s gaze shifted over to Ling Yue. In the huge hot spring, his mothers were on one of his sides, while his wives were on the other. Due to his mothers’ status, nonetheless, none of his wives dared to approach him.

Ling Yue was different. Ling Yue’s mother was no longer with her. Nier and Lucia clearly looked lonely; however, among his four women, Troy liked Ling Yue a bit more. Actually, it was because he couldn’t spend as much time by Ling Yue’s side that he cared about her a bit more.

Sitting next to Lucia and Nier, Ling Yueg wagged her tail and nonchalantly flicked her long red hair. Lucia was peeved because a mistress was able to calmly sit next to herself, Troy’s official wife, without feeling bothered. Normally, Lucia didn’t even want Ling Yue next to her as she considered it a provocation. Whether fortunate or unfortunate, Ling Yue hadn’t exhibited any uninvited behaviours or signs of ridicule. Consequently, Lucia didn’t have a legitimate reason to reproach or criticise Ling Yue.

Nier gazed over in the direction of the ocean and, in a concerned tone, griped, “I want what Daisy is doing right now… It would be best if she could return sooner. There are still things for her to do here, yet she ran off to somewhere so dangerous.”

Lucia gave Nier a smile: “You were playing the strict mother before, but look at you behind Daisy’s back. If Daisy was to see this side of you, I bet she’d be in shock.”

Nier touched her face and smiled: “Daisy is my only child with His Majesty. My love for her isn’t as frail as yours for your two girls. I wouldn’t be so worried, either, if I had two kids.”

“Are you trying to prove you can’t think? I don’t love my girls any less than you love Daisy. Even though I have two girls, I won’t love one less than the other.”

Ling Yue flicked her hair and interjected in an indifferent tone: “Isn’t it a good for the kids to learn, gain experience and refine themselves out there? Letting your child train themselves out in the world is a good method to help your children grow up. Everything Liu Yue goes through is the path she must walk to mature. She wouldn’t be able to become a qualified monarch, otherwise. Since your children will become monarchs, how about calming down this time?”

Lucia, without any hesitation, argued, “That’s precisely why we need to be more vigilant! What do we do if they mishap befalls them? They’re the successors of two nations, not the child of a mistress!”

Though Ling Yue saved Lucia in the past, Lucia would never make any compromises when her status as Troy’s wife was questioned.

“Sorry, Lucia. I feel we do get along happily, which is why I have a good opinion of you. However, what I want to say is that, what the children go through is what will help them grow just as this scenario. I think they’ll be fine!”
