Book 12: Chapter 21
“Your Majesty… Aaahh!!”
That screech woke me and Mom up. The two of us vigorously opened our eyes and saw each other. Only then did we realise how physically close we were. Our noses were virtually touching. Mom had her arm around me. I clung to her body. I didn’t know why we ended up in the position. I remember that I wasn’t sleeping in this position. For some reason after waking up, I was in mom’s embrace.
It made sense as to why the maid screeched. We only had our underwear on. Mom’s breasts were visible, because of her side-on posture. Mom had removed her dress and thrown it aside, as well. Her white leg was pressed on top of mine. It was a pretty bad scene to be caught in no matter how you looked at it, particularly after knowing our identities. Therefore, the maid thought she was finished.
Mommy Elizabeth and I were shocked for a moment. We quickly put distance between us and sat up. We both turned toward the maid despite not coordinating it prior. The maid trembled as she said, “I-I j-just came, mm, the banquet’s preparations, should start… Sorry! Sorry!! Sorry!”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Her Majesty is my mom.” I rubbed my face: “I honestly never thought I’d fall asleep. Mom, are you awake? Go and arrange for someone to help Her Majesty wash up. We’ve still got time, so there’s no need to worry. I’m going to wash up first, too. Have someone arrange it.”
It was best we didn’t wash up together. We didn’t care, but Vyvyan was around. If she found out that we washed together without informing her, she’d lose it. If an accident happened, the losses would outweigh the gains.
“I’ll come back to pick you up before the banquet, then, Mom.”
I picked my clothes up from the ground and draped them over.
Nobody had the right to dress me after Luna’s departure, so I was responsible for tidying my own room henceforward. After Luna left, I felt that I picked up my housekeeping skills from school again. I used to think that Luna didn’t serve much of a purpose to me, because I could look after myself, but I eventually realised that I literally couldn’t get everything done in time.
