Book 10: Chapter 8
“Ling Yue has explained what happened with the anthropoids, so now, you two will discuss how we will deal with them, right? We may have overcome Troy City’s siege and the reinforcements will be here very soon; however, the anthropoids will not give up just because of that. The anthropoids we killed here are just worthless sacrifices to them. We will forever be threatened and suffer losses and damages for as long as we do not conquer the North.”
Although I tried to get my two moms to understand what I was saying inside the conference hall, the two of them didn’t seem to concentrate on what I was saying. Mommy Vyvyan looked at me with an affectionate smile similar to that of a mother watching her child’s graduation speech. Elizabeth remained sluggish as she did at the end of the battle. She looked at me in silence.
That made me feel very frustrated, as it seemed as though nothing I said meant anything. My plan required humans and elves to ally with each other. Though Mommy Vyvyan can kill the anthropoids in the blink of an eye, it’s impossible for Mommy Vyvyan to go to the North. Elves can’t adapt to the extreme cold in the North. Not even Mommy Vyvyan. The only ones who can do battle there are humans. However, for humans to wage battle there they require members to reform ranks and transport supples. That means that the elves must allow humans passage and provide the required supplies.
In other words, I can’t deploy my plan if either of them refused to assist.
“Therefore, I think… if Mommy Elizabeth can provide us with a team that specialises in snow combat, while Mommy Vyvyan replenishes our resources and allows humans passage, then I am confident I can defeat the enemies in the North.”
I made my suggestion as a means of testing the waters with my two moms.
Mommy Vyvyan leaned back onto her chair then replied with a smile, “That’s no problem, Son. Mommy will give you anything you need.”
I bet Mommy Vyvyan agreed without even considering it; but that’s even better. Elizabeth, on the other hand, didn’t reply. I don’t think she paid any attention to what I said. She looked at me with a very complex gaze, causing me to feel a little numb. I cleared my throat gently; then looked at her and asked, “Umm, Mom? Your Majesty?”
Mommy Elizabeth reacted as though she just woke up from a dream. She looked at me and dryly chuckled, “Ah, oh… No problem, no problem. I’m fine with what you said.”
