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

I was a little sad when I entered the outer court, to be frank. Usually, I’d instantly be met with a smile and the greeting, “Welcome home.” In saying that, I did hear it in the Imperial Palace in the North nowadays, so it wasn’t that big of a deal to me.

I went up the steps. I didn’t say much to Castell. He was aware that I was in a rush, so he didn’t keep me. He merely told me that Mommy Elizabeth was currently attending a usual daytime conference and, thus, had to wait for her to finish.

I think I came back too soon. Normally, it’d take me another two days before I’d arrive. I was in a rush, however. Therefore, nobody knew about my return. The Valkyries who came to welcome me were probably only under orders to do so, which was why they came straight to welcome me. They didn’t appear as though they expected me to be back so soon.

“What’s Nier up to at the moment?” I wondered.

I pushed open the door. Nier wasn’t there to greet me. I scanned the interior to see her lying on the bed with Daisy in her arms. The two were sound asleep despite the golden orb already coming out. I heard footsteps from my side. Two maids came over when they heard the door open. They froze when they first saw me then asked, “Your Majesty?”

The two maids must’ve been new for they didn’t recognise me. I gave them a nod: “Don’t worry and don’t wake them. Just leave.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The maids nodded and bowed respectfully before leaving.

I entered and shut the door. I removed my cloak and tossed it aside. I unbuttoned my shirt and undid my belt. I carefully went over to lie down next to Nier and gently hugged her. She was usually very vigilant and would wake up. A mere rustle from a breeze could wake her right up at night, yet she didn’t wake up. Perhaps she wasn’t vigilant of me.

I poked Daisy’s sleeping face with my finger. She grouchily smacked my finger away with her puny hand then snuggled up in her Mom’s arms. I laughed and then peacefully closed my eyes. I really needed a respite after the long journey that I rushed through.
