Book 11: Chapter 44
I looked at Zelal, who was lying motionless in a puddle of blood. I asked Vyvyan, “You didn’t kill him, did you?”
Vyvyan waved her hand. After cleaning up the corpses and traces of blood on the ground, she replied, “He won’t die that easily, Son. He’s old now, but his mana is still there, nonetheless. He was the most talented mage and possessed very pure mana when he was young. He is merely unconscious right now.”
I nodded. Mom stroked my head, which healed my head, thereby erasing the dizzy and nauseous feeling. I have to admit that elven magic was sometimes incredibly useful.
“Mom, I want to leave with Lucia, since the hostility shown is so apparent. Of course, I want to bring you along, as well. I’m afraid that Lucia will meet with danger if she remains here.”
“It’s dangerous to move Lucia right now. Frankly, her child has yet to settle down. Son, I had to spend two months resting in peace to get you to settle down when I was pregnant with you. Lucia is currently carrying a child she didn’t get pregnant with. The child needs to absorb mana for an extensive period of time in order to settle down. Therefore, it is best not to move Lucia at the moment, or she will have a miscarriage, otherwise.”
I clenched my teeth. “What are we going to do, then? There’s somebody who wants to snatch my Lucia from me. Do I have to continue staying here? I’m very mentally weak right now, Mom. I’m serious. I crawled out from a sea of blood and mountains of corpses in the North. I just want to have a rest now. I think I’ll go crazy if this continues on.”
“That won’t happen again. It won’t. Mommy will lock him up. We don’t have a dungeon as Elizabeth has, but we do have a prison. After some time, Mommy will banish him, so it won’t happen again.”
Mommy Vyvyan looked confident. Confused, I asked, “Mom, isn’t the North gone now? Where would you exile him to if you do exile him?”
“Into the mountains in the Northwest. That is where your father went missing. There should be a massive dragon there if your father didn’t slay it. The mountains are rocky and a massive dragon resides there. Exiling somebody there is much harsher compared to the North.”
