Vyvyan came in and gently shut the door . She looked at me, who was sitting next to Lucia, and called out to me in a soft voice . “Son…”

I turned around to look at Vyvyan . I stood up . “Mom, do you have business?”

Vyvyan’s lips moved . She seemed to have something she struggled to talk about . She looked at me with her blue eyes that were akin to the deep and vast ocean . I walked over to her and gently took hold of her hand . “Mom, do you have something you want to say? Just say it . I am your son . Is there anything you would need to hide from your son?”

Vyvyan giggled . She then stroked my head . “You’re right, son . I shouldn’t hide anything from you . I just wanted to ask if you were serious about what you said today . ”

I nodded . “If he seriously tries to harm Lucia, if he seriously tries to hurt my Lucia, if the Galadriel tribe can’t accept Lucia, I will immediately leave with Lucia without any hesitation . It doesn’t matter if we go to Troy City or the North . I won’t leave her with the Galadriel tribe and watch her die!”

Vyvyan sighed . “It’s useless, son . You won’t escape . Your father thought the same way over ten years ago, and he did the same thing . In the end, he still ended up having to obediently come home . Son, you…”

I pressed a hand onto Mommy Vyvyan’s shoulder and sternly argued, “That’s because you were there! My father couldn’t escape with Elizabeth, because you pursued them . The Galadriel tribe isn’t frightening . Mom, the Galadriel tribe is only frightening, because they have you . You are my mom . Would you just idly watch your daughter-in-law die?!”

Vyvyan looked at me . Dilemma and heartache showed in her eyes . She gently pressed her hand on mine . “Son, is Lucia worth you giving up so much…? If you want a wife who can give birth, even I could…”

“No, I’m not protecting her because she is pregnant my child, but because she is Lucia, my beloved Lucia . My love for her has never changed . I don’t mind giving up everything for her . ”

Vyvyan looked at me solemnly and sadly asked, “Including mommy?”

“‘If harm befalls my Lucia, I’ll kill even Vyvyan!!” was what I thought at one point, but seeing Vyvyan now with her somewhat sad gaze, her face looking at me that I was familiar with and loved, I really wondered if I could go through with it .

‘When mom hugs me, will I really be able to find it in me to kill her even if her hands were covered in Lucia’s blood? Could I really hurt my mom? Do I really have that determination? No . Absolutely not . I  can’t hurt my mom . She’s my mom, my Mommy Vyvyan . She gave birth to me and raised me . How could I possibly hurt her . Lucia is my lover, but… but… but… I love Mommy Vyvyan, too!!’

‘When mom hugs me, will I really be able to find it in me to kill her even if her hands were covered in Lucia’s blood? Could I really hurt my mom? Do I really have that determination? No . Absolutely not . I  can’t hurt my mom . She’s my mom, my Mommy Vyvyan . She gave birth to me and raised me . How could I possibly hurt her . Lucia is my lover, but… but… but… I love Mommy Vyvyan, too!!’

‘Will I actually be able to go through with it and hurt Vyvyan if that day comes? I don’t know . I honestly don’t know . I sincerely love my Mommy Vyvyan, as well . I don’t love her just as my mother . After all, she’s done so much for me and accompanied me at my side for so long . There’s no way I don’t love her!!’

“I… I…”

She looked at me . She smiled bitterly . “A good mother shouldn’t put her son in a dilemma . Son, Mommy shouldn’t put you in a dilemma . ”

“No! Mom! I… I . . I…”

“It’s all right, Son . ”

Mommy Vyvyan touched my face with a smile . “A mom is meant to tolerate her child’s wilfulness . Son, mommy will protect you . Mommy will protect you and your Lucia . Mommy is your mom, and so Mommy will never capture you . Mommy is forever merely a tool in the eyes of the Galadriel tribe . ”

Mommy Vyvyan touched my face with a smile . “A mom is meant to tolerate her child’s wilfulness . Son, mommy will protect you . Mommy will protect you and your Lucia . Mommy is your mom, and so Mommy will never capture you . Mommy is forever merely a tool in the eyes of the Galadriel tribe . ”

Mom lightly embraced me and then continued, “Let mommy borrow your shoulder for a while, Son . Mommy wants to have a bit of a rest, as well . Mommy wants a shoulder to lean on, too . ”

I hugged Mom and stroked her long blonde hair gently . Mommy Vyvyan took in a deep breath . She then quietly said, “Mommy is just a tool to the Galadriel tribe . Mommy has always been just a tool to the tribe . Mommy was born as Mommy’s brother’s wife . Mommy didn’t mind it, for Mommy loved Mommy’s brother . Afterwards, Mommy became the ruler of elves in Mommy’s brother’s place . Mommy didn’t mind that either, because Mommy possessed the most superior lineage . Mommy was born to do these things . Mommy’s lineage was given by the Galadriel tribe . Mommy’s status was given by the Galadriel tribe . Mommy’s mana was given by the Galadriel tribe . Even mommy’s purpose in life was to serve the Galadriel tribe . But it’s different for you .

That continued until you were born; however, because of your birth, Mommy found a purpose to live for, for the first time . You needed Mommy, not because of Mommy’s mana or lineage or appearance . You loved me, because you were Mommy’s child . You are not the Galadriel tribe’s son . Mommy gave birth to you and raised you . For the first time, Mommy found another purpose to live for besides the Galadriel tribe . Mommy’s entire life changed, because of you . Mommy didn’t raise you because of the Galadriel tribe, but solely because you are Mommy’s child . That’s why Mommy raised you, and that’s why Mommy loves you . ”

“Mom…”

“It’s all right, Son . If you want to leave, then go ahead and leave . ” Vyvyan kissed my cheek . I felt her cold face . Mom didn’t sob or cry . She was calm as if she was telling me what breakfast for tomorrow was going to be . “You were not given to me by the Galadriel tribe . You were given to me by Onii-sama . I raised you, not the Galadriel tribe . Therefore, you don’t need to be restricted by the Galadriel tribe . If you want to leave, leave . Mommy won’t go looking for you . Promise . Mommy will let you go as far away as possible . ”

I tightly hugged Mom . Next to her ear, I softly said, “Mom, come with me . ”

“It’s all right, Son . If you want to leave, then go ahead and leave . ” Vyvyan kissed my cheek . I felt her cold face . Mom didn’t sob or cry . She was calm as if she was telling me what breakfast for tomorrow was going to be . “You were not given to me by the Galadriel tribe . You were given to me by Onii-sama . I raised you, not the Galadriel tribe . Therefore, you don’t need to be restricted by the Galadriel tribe . If you want to leave, leave . Mommy won’t go looking for you . Promise . Mommy will let you go as far away as possible . ”

I tightly hugged Mom . Next to her ear, I softly said, “Mom, come with me . ”

Mom’s body intensely shuddered . She pushed me back and looked at my face . Her tears gushed forth from her blue eyes . She looked at me with a painful expression that no words could do justice and shook her head . Her voice trembled as she spoke . “I can’t… I can’t… If I leave… the elves…”

I looked at Mom absolutely seriously . “Don’t worry about so much, Mom… I will have the elves, humanity and the North form an alliance . Mom, come with me . I want to take my loved ones away from here . You are my loved one, too, Mom . Come with me, Mom . You said your purpose in life was me, so leave with me, then!”

“I… I…”

“Mom! Come with me! Come with me . f.u.c.k the Galadriels . The Galadriels don’t love you, but I do!!”

“S-Son… I… I will leave together with you!”

Vyvyan came in and gently shut the door . She looked at me, who was sitting next to Lucia, and called out to me in a soft voice . “Son…”.

I turned around to look at Vyvyan . I stood up . “Mom, do you have business?”.

Vyvyan’s lips moved . She seemed to have something she struggled to talk about . She looked at me with her blue eyes that were akin to the deep and vast ocean .
