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

When I returned to my room in the outer court, Nier rushed over to welcome me. She anxiously asked, “Your Majesty, what exactly happened? Your Majesty, why are there Valkyries searching the outer court and questioning people here? Is there a culprit in the outer court? Also, also, a Valkyrie came to see me… What exactly happened with Her Majesty? It’s been a long time since she had a Valkyrie kill themselves. What exactly happened?”

“Well, simply put, there was an incident in the Royal Palace. The high-ranking finance official was assassinated in the rear flower garden, which was why Mom was a little tense, but that’s all. The culprit has been captured; therefore, there’s no need to worry. Things will soon return to normal. Were the Valkyries rude while they were in the outer court?”

Nier shook her head: “No, they weren’t.”

“Uhm.” I headed upstairs.

Because Mom went crazy, the Valkyries from just before went crazy, as well. However, the Valkyries appeared to maintain their rationality in Nier’s presence. At least, they wouldn’t be rude to the people taking care of my outer court with Nier around.

The Valkyrie I sent to the outer court came down the stairs. She was frightened upon seeing me. Nevertheless, she bowed to me: “Thank you very much, Your Majesty… I…”

“It’s fine. The matter has been resolved; the culprit has been captured, so you can head back now.”

The Valkyrie was bound to be safe with Nier at the outer court. Nier wouldn’t let a Valkyrie kill herself. Plus, she could take shelter from Mommy Elizabeth for the meantime.

I couldn’t deny that I stepped out of line with regards to how I handled the matter. I was a mere Prince, and I clearly indicated that I wasn’t succeeding the throne at Hilles City. Mommy Elizabeth called the shots. I couldn’t do anything that would be detrimental to her throne, yet sheltered one of her Valkyries. In other words, I interfered with her reward and punishment system. That said, I didn’t care all that much anymore since I couldn’t allow Mom to do something undesirable while I was present.
