Book 20: Chapter 2
“Lucia, why are you here?”
I gently supported Lucia. She leaned her freezing body on mine. Before she could speak, something violently collided with me from behind. My head was submerged in something heavy, yet warm. I heard an emotional, yet familiar, voice: “Son, Son, I thought you were here. Mommy was so worried, so worried you wouldn’t be here…”
“Mom?!”
It was strangely comfortable. While I had two mounds of flesh right next to my face, I didn’t feel suffocated. To the contrary, it was so comfortable I couldn’t find the words to do it justice.
“I can’t be bothered with anything anymore. Leave it all to tomorrow,” was what I thought.
“Son, Son, Mommy is glad you’re here. Mommy doesn’t know where this place is, but as long as my son is here, Mommy is reassured.”
Mommy Vyvyan released me. She was attired in her green dress that she usually wore. Although I didn’t feel it was strange, since I saw it almost every day, she was very eye-catching in her ancient clothing and old jewellery on the modern-day street. The people passing by were surprised. On one hand, it was because of her clothing. On the other hand, it was probably due to her captivating appearance. Vyvyan affectionately hugged me; she totally ignored the fact that she was in different environment. Perhaps she considered it an illusion.
I relished Mommy Vyvyan’s warmth and soft body; however, something bemused me. If I was in that world, I wouldn’t need to think about anything. I could just enjoy the warmth and bliss she gifted me with to my heart’s content, but not in this world. I was in Zhu Liangzhe’s world. I wasn’t Troy in this world. I was Zhu Liangzhe.
In this world, I wasn’t the Elven Prince or humanity’s Prince. I was Zhu Liangzhe, an ordinary university graduate who even went on blind dates. I didn’t have any resources at my disposal in this world. I was as ordinary as they came in this world. Vyvyan and Lucia, however, were members of the imperial family. They enjoyed life as the imperial family. They received the best treatment there. Here, on the other hand, I couldn’t provide them with anything.
