Book 17: Chapter 19
“Mom! Calm down! The new church’s headquarters are at Troy City! Are you telling me you’re going to massacre Troy City? That city is named after me! Mom, calm down! Additionally, there are elves and representatives of the North present there! That’s the city where our three races are united!”
I grabbed Mom’s hand with all of my might. She wore an incredibly violent expression. If I didn’t hold her hand that firmly, she might’ve charged out to start her rampage already. The military outside of the city had yet to leave, while Troy City didn’t have a military yet. My military was in the North.
“It’ll be fine, Son. Mommy is just going to kill people; not destroy the city. Mommy won’t break anything. Once Mommy has killed them all, Mommy will just have new people move in. Mommy may lack anything but people. If elves stop Mommy, Mommy shall kill elves. Mommy can’t tolerate this. How dare they kill in my Royal Palace! Are they looking down on me?!!”
“Mom!”
I rushed over to Mommy Elizabeth. She exclaimed, “What do you want, then, Son?! What do you want?! How do you intend to have Mommy maintain Mommy’s reputation? How is Mommy going to re-establish Mommy’s dignity?!”
I shook my head: “I don’t know. Mom, I still need to have a think about it; however, I know that I can’t let you become a murderer who indiscriminately kills the innocent. You’re my mom, my most beloved mom. Don’t indiscriminately kill the innocent in front of me. You should be a gentle mother not a nut case who senselessly kills people! Mom, have you forgotten everything you said to me? Didn’t you say that you wanted me to live well? You’re about to kill indiscriminately!! Troy City isn’t just a mere city. It’s the place I want to live together with you!”
Mom wore a stiff expression. The Valkyries around were all awaiting Mom’s command. If the Elizabeth from ten years ago wanted to go to war again, the Valkyries would follow her. Additionally, they truly wanted to protect Mom and defeat her foes as her blade. That was why the Valkyries eagerness had already begun to erupt.
Who would the Valkyries fight? Troy City? I was the ruler of Troy City. Was Mom declaring war on me? What was I supposed to do, then? Was standing in front of her and opposing her all that I could do? Surely, we didn’t want to see that scene. Hence, I had to dissuade Mom.
“In that case, you tell me what to do, Son. What do we do about this scum? I really want to slowly skin him right now!”
