Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

Hilles City. The Phoenix’s Nest.

I was back to the Phoenix’s Nest again. It had been ages since I visited. I didn’t come back after Luna’s mishap. I lost my Luna in this city, and I never thought she could rise from the ashes. When Luna died, I considered the entire city to be my enemy and, thus, never came back.

Perhaps it was because Luna had been revived that I no longer felt upset when I saw the majestic city. To the contrary, I felt relieved and nostalgic; it was Mommy Elizabeth’s city, after all. I had a responsibility to visit her.

I caressed the White Deer King’s neck. The White Deer King wagged her head in delight. She went to lick my palm. I had no idea what happened to her, but she was clingier and less violent after the riot in Duargana. I didn’t know the reason behind it, but it was a good change, wasn’t it?

I headed toward Hilles City at a leisurely pace. Surely, Mom would soon see my white clothing and white steed.

I had yet to see summer and spring in Hilles City. The last time I came was autumn and winter. This time, the wheat fields were filled with the greenery that gently swayed with the breeze as they enjoyed the flowing water and sunlight. The Southern plains produced the bulk of food. It was impossible to see the ends of the sea of green on my steed.

When I reached the stone path stemming from Hilles City, I heard a sequence of horse hooves rapidly approaching. I smiled then tugged on my horse reins. Three girls in white robes sped over toward me. The Valkyries dismounted one after the other upon reaching me. They orderly went down on one knee and welcomed in their loud voices: “Welcome home, Your Majesty.”

To be honest, I was slightly disappointed. I thought Nier would be with them to romantically relive our first meeting. The three Valkyries who came to welcome me were suave and heroic but still couldn’t hold a candle to Nier. Nier’s aura wasn’t something anyone could possess.

I nodded. Mom didn’t come to welcome me, either, so I presumed that she was needed in the Royal Palace. It didn’t matter, though.
