Book 5: Chapter 39
“Mom… ah…” I ran to the hall and was stunned to find Vyvyan sitting on a seat there.
Vyvyan smiled as she held her teacup and looked at me very elegantly. She then smiled and said, “Ah, my son. Come here and let mommy take a look at you…”
Elizabeth slammed her hand on the table and angrily exclaimed, “Vyvyan, you’re in my territory right now. He is not your son right now. Don’t get so intimate with my son! Don’t try your underhanded tricks here with me!”
Vyvyan frowned. She placed her cup of tea down with a loud clang and then angrily retorted, “What are you saying Elizabeth? The one who should be mad right now is me. According to the time, my son should be the elven prince right now, not your son. You forcefully keeping my son here is a violation of our agreement. It should be me who leads a punitive expedition against you, and yet you have the audacity to try falsely accusing me?”
Elizabeth didn’t back down. She rebuffed her, “You dare criticise me when my son came here because he doesn’t accept you? That’s your problem, not mine. Why has my son never returned to you elves during his time here? That’s because you don’t have any charm. Troy likes it here better!”
Vyvyan slammed her hand on the table hard and exclaimed, “Weren’t you the one who wanted to discuss my son’s wedding with me?! Is that why you went and sent the fiancée you prepared for my son to a dangerous place? You dare talk about my son’s marriage with that sort of attitude? You couldn’t even protect my son’s fiancée, and yet you have the audacity to bring this up?!”
Elizabeth managed to successfully wriggle her way out of the strongest criticism Vyvyan threw at her and self-righteously said, “That was an accident. But it proved that my son’s love for Nier far exceeds that so-called love for that Lucia! Shouldn’t you respect Troy’s choice, since you love him so much?!”
She was right. I did indeed come running back for Nier. That’s a fact… But me not loving Lucia is completely unfounded, and I won’t acknowledge that either.
“That doesn’t prove who loves who. It just proves that I did a much better job protecting Lucia than you did with his human fiancée. It proves that you don’t take my son’s marriage to heart. You expect me to trust you with my son when you’re like that? I can’t allow you to come and take care of my son and his wife. You have no responsibility as a mother!”
