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

I sat atop my steed. Freya stood next to me. She looked up at me and asked, “Onii-sama, are you not bringing me along this time, either?”

I nodded and replied, “Uhm, because Troy City still needs you. If even you leave, who will handle Troy City’s matters? I do have others I can trust, but that doesn’t mean that they can handle everything.”

“That, you do not need to worry about. There is not really anything that needs to be worried about. Onii-sama, your task this time is very crucial. I think that you need to bring me. There is your response at the annual meeting to consider, as well. I can give you appropriate suggestions.”

Freya looked at me while feeling impatient.

‘It was the first time I’d seen Freya so impatient. Freya has always responded to my thoughts in a calm fashion. She always calmly resolved every flaw in every plan. Freya had never taken the initiative to give instructions; instead, she listened to my thoughts before providing me with a plan that would make me most comfortable. That’s also why I trust her. This time, however, she did the opposite. It seems that she really doesn’t have confidence to let me handle it alone.’

“Am I so unreliable to you?”

“No, you are not unreliable, but you deal with human relations immaturely. Although you have already improved a lot, you are squaring off against veterans of the battlefield this time. If you say something wrong, that could affect the entire empire’s future. Moreover, this is the first time you are revealing yourself as the Crown Prince, so it is only natural that you be more prudent in your handling of it. Therefore, Onii-sama, please bring me along. As Troy City is located in the North, it will enter a stable period of development during spring, which means that the things I can do become fewer and fewer. I believe that I have every opportunity to go with you. Your most trusted Guard Unit is in the city, along with the Valkyries looking after the Princess, so you need not worry.”

Freya earnestly analysed her reasons. I patiently listened to her until she finished without cutting her off.

‘To be honest, I really want to bring Freya along, as well, since I can calmly deal with anything with her wits. Freya’s ability to resolve problems with her clever methods, and her ability to adapt on the fly can be of help to me.’
