Book 9: Chapter 23
All of my luggage as well as all other matters had been prepared. My next step was to head to Socina City.
I couldn’t look Elizabeth straight in the face after the festival. Elizabeth was well aware of my distress, though, so she didn’t mention it once. To be honest, I couldn’t come to grips with the fact that I confessed to my mother. I honestly didn’t know that it was Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s mouth felt and tasted the exact same as Nier’s, and her lips were just as soft. I couldn’t tell at all.
Luckily, my wives didn’t know or pay attention to it.

‘But I must say… Mom’s lips are really soft… They’re as impressive as Nier’s and Lucia’s. No wonder why I was so passionate when we kissed.’
Freya came into my bedroom and made a small bow, “Onii-sama, you can set out tomorrow. Everything is prepared and the guards are ready, as well.”
I looked at Freya and replied, “All right, got it. Thank you, Freya. But, I didn’t see you at the festival last night. Did you not come?”
Freya looked at me in an odd way and pouted, “Ah, no… I did go. I cannot believe you dare mention that. I cannot believe you did not recognise me!”
“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. There were too many people, so I didn’t see you. But I swear, I earnestly searched for you. It’s just that I didn’t end up finding you. It absolutely wasn’t because I didn’t search!”
