Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

I dismounted. I flipped over the corpse of the Valkyrie who died in battle. Her eyes were still open. She was covered in slash wounds and her corpse got stomped all over by the horses to the point where she was basically soaked in her own blood on the ground. I reached my hand out and gently closed her eyes. All the Valkyries are like this. They don’t surrender even if it means death. I admire and respect them for that. Regardless of what the reason is, no ordinary person could be so loyal.

I stood up. My guards had unarmed the armed elves in the rear and gathered them together. The elves looked at the guns in their hands with fear. Seeing a cavalry unit spitting fire as they slaughtered their way to reach you is like seeing a fire dragon attack you. Even elves instinctively get frightened by this sort of weapon.

“Did you people kill her?”

I asked them in the elven language and the leader stood up. He looked at me and angrily answered: “You’re humanity’s prince? Your……”

I looked at him and emphasised each word: “I asked if you were the ones that killed her.”

“…… Yes. But your people snatched our people away! We refused your request very affirmatively. We didn’t use force previously. We refused your request after we discussed it with you. However, your people spread fallacies to mislead our people and secretly got our people to flee to your side today. How can I watch my people run away mindlessly?! That’s your fault! You’re the ones who instigated our people to run away!”

After I listened to everything he had to say, I turned around to ask Luna: “Is what he said true?”

“They don’t want much! They just want to provide a home for their children where they aren’t always on the run and hold a respectable job. They want to feed their family, themselves and to have warmth!” Luna looked at the elf with anger and exclaimed, “But you can’t provide them with those things. I can’t watch them starve to death here with you! If you can’t feed your people, don’t keep them! They have the right to choose a place where they can be fed, live and work!”

I turned to look at the elves. The elves standing on the hill quivered. All of them wore shabby clothing that virtually couldn’t cover their body. Their thin physiques quivered in the wind. There were some who were lying on the ground panting for dear life just running to this point.
