Book 5: Chapter 2
A moment later, the maids watched Vyvyan walk out of the room radiantly as if her blood had been replenished after massive blood-loss.
Behind her, I came out rubbing my lower back and wiping my mouth, looking like I was in a trance. As to what happened… don’t ask me, I don’t want to talk about it.
Mom stopped and waited for me. She then grabbed my hand and said with a giggle, “Son, you took too long to come back, don’t you think? Mommy was worried that you got into an accident.”
“Sorry, Mom. It was snowing heavily on the way, so we were slightly delayed.”
“In that case, you have to stay here for a few more days. We need to ensure you spend an entire month here. We can’t miss a single day after all.” Mom winked and her blue eyes moved mischievously. She then looked at me with a strange smile and asked, “But son, I have a question. I want to ask you. Who is Nier Gilliante?”
“Pffffftt?!’
“Seeing as you’re flustered, I guess it must be true then.”
Mom turned around with a friendly smile and cupped my face. She stared at me with her with her blood-red eyes, causing me to almost drop to my knees and beg for mercy.
Mom licked her lips and softly said, “Son, please know where you stand. Your father is the elven king and your mother is the elven king’s younger sister. At the end of the day, the elven blood runs in your body. Mommy can grudgingly accept you and Lucia, but mommy cannot accept you and a human. There will never be a good ending if humans are involved. Elves can’t accept mixed-bloods, even if it’s their king. If you stubbornly proceed, I may just stout my heart and lock you up, you know.”
