Book 11: Chapter 34
Vyvyan came in and gently shut the door. She looked at me, who was sitting next to Lucia, and called out to me in a soft voice. “Son…”
I turned around to look at Vyvyan. I stood up. “Mom, do you have business?”
Vyvyan’s lips moved. She seemed to have something she struggled to talk about. She looked at me with her blue eyes that were akin to the deep and vast ocean. I walked over to her and gently took hold of her hand. “Mom, do you have something you want to say? Just say it. I am your son. Is there anything you would need to hide from your son?”
Vyvyan giggled. She then stroked my head. “You’re right, son. I shouldn’t hide anything from you. I just wanted to ask if you were serious about what you said today.”
I nodded. “If he seriously tries to harm Lucia, if he seriously tries to hurt my Lucia, if the Galadriel tribe can’t accept Lucia, I will immediately leave with Lucia without any hesitation. It doesn’t matter if we go to Troy City or the North. I won’t leave her with the Galadriel tribe and watch her die!”
Vyvyan sighed. “It’s useless, son. You won’t escape. Your father thought the same way over ten years ago, and he did the same thing. In the end, he still ended up having to obediently come home. Son, you…”
I pressed a hand onto Mommy Vyvyan’s shoulder and sternly argued, “That’s because you were there! My father couldn’t escape with Elizabeth, because you pursued them. The Galadriel tribe isn’t frightening. Mom, the Galadriel tribe is only frightening, because they have you. You are my mom. Would you just idly watch your daughter-in-law die?!”
Vyvyan looked at me. Dilemma and heartache showed in her eyes. She gently pressed her hand on mine. “Son, is Lucia worth you giving up so much…? If you want a wife who can give birth, even I could…”
“No, I’m not protecting her because she is pregnant my child, but because she is Lucia, my beloved Lucia. My love for her has never changed. I don’t mind giving up everything for her.”
