Mom sat in her chair feeling elated . She allowed the lady-in-waiting to fix her long black hair while speaking to me with notable excitement: “Isn’t this a good thing? Son, n.o.body dares to be impudent in Mommy’s presence . See how successful this was? Daisy was successfully baptised, and everyone is happy . Isn’t that great?”

I quietly laughed: “I’m glad it went without a glitch . To be honest, I was nervous initially, but as I said, I’m glad that it went smoothly . It appears the new church didn’t do anything, as they want to gain the support of the royal family as opposed to being the hot-headed type who’ll do anything without considering repercussions . ”

“Isn’t that good? That means they can fight all they want without impacting us . ”

Mom flicked her hair, pleased with her hairstyle . Strictly speaking, it didn’t count as a hairstyle . However, being a woman, she was mindful of her hair .

The lady-in-waiting’s expression suddenly froze . She looked as though she was going to cry . I knew the lady-in-waiting felt she was doomed . Mom was in a great mood, though, so she didn’t get angry . Further, there was still time . The lady-in-waiting quivered as she shook Mom’s hair out and began to comb it again .

I nodded: “True . ”

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

If the new church was a brainless organisation that acted on whims, they would only be a hazard that gives the empire grief . They, however, made a wise choice and displayed their loyalty to the royal family, which was why Mom and I didn’t plan to do anything to them . Since the two churches were both loyal and willing to serve the royal family, it didn’t matter who we chose .

Given that the new church could also serve the royal family and was a systematic religion, Elizabeth didn’t care which religion was negative . Although the old church displayed a satisfactory standard of respect and competence through the baptism, the new church did so, too . Mom initially planned to eliminate one . After the baptism, she changed her mind and decided to watch things play out from the sidelines, for their conflict didn’t affect her rule .

“This is good enough . ”

Mom turned her head side to side . She was pleased with her new hairstyle…

Forgive my bluntness, but I think all black hair is the same…

Mom stood up . She then rubbed the lady-in-waiting’s head to express that she was content . She then turned around and enthused, “Let’s go, Son . Hold my cape . Let’s attend the grandest banquet!”

I nodded . I gently picked up the portion of Mom’s cape on the ground and held it in my hand .

It was a formal banquet . After all, the rulers of all va.s.sal states were present . Mom also wore her most formal clothing . Daisy didn’t show up, as she had fallen asleep in the room the maids and Valkyries offered their servitude .

Castell pushed the door open for us . Mom pulled off her black veil and entered with a bright smile . The entire Royal Palace erupted into exclamations and gasps of surprise . Many people hadn’t seen her without her black veil before . They finally had the honour of seeing one of the continent’s two most beautiful women, who happened to be my mom, Mommy Elizabeth .

Mom cheerfully declared, “Everyone, enjoy yourselves!”

The celebratory atmosphere in the entire Royal Palace peaked . Everyone watched Daisy wear on the crown of the successor to the empire . Daisy was safe and sound . The ceremony displayed the power and majestic aura of the empire . Those factors were enough of a reason for the va.s.sal states to continue as va.s.sal states in peace . Therefore, the entire operation was a great success . That, however, left me a little disappointed .

I was ready to take on any dangers, yet my preparations all went to waste . It was different to the experiences I was used to . Normally, something happened wherever I happened to be, yet the ceremony went without any hiccups . It was both surprising and disappointing .

“Stop, stop, I can’t think that way . It’s good that Daisy is safe and sound,” I told myself .

I suddenly felt a soft and cold glove around my arm while I was having a drink at a table . Startled, I turned my head to see the side of Nier’s fine face . She had her hair held in place at the back of her head with a hairpin, which was made from a gem, thereby revealing her neck and earlobes . She wore a low-cut dress . A purple gem necklace rested on her warm and soft valley . Her long, silky white gloves covered her arms . She gently wrapped her arms around mine and, in a flirtatious manner, whispered, “I’m so glad Daisy is fine, Your Majesty . ”

“Yeah, our daughter, Daisy, is fine . ”

I gave Nier a light peck on her face . She softly giggled then looked around before quietly saying, “If we weren’t at the ball, I’d really want to kiss you . That said, when we get back later, let’s have some fun, Your Majesty… I will wear a camisole, white stockings and gloves . I know you like me dressed that way, am I right…?”

“Honestly, I really do, Nier . ”

“You really are special, huh… But since I’ve put in so much effort, you better not ask to sleep . To be frank, Your Majesty, I want to give Daisy a brother or sister . A younger brother would be best . It feels as though something is missing if you don’t have a son . ”

“It doesn’t bother me, Nier . It goes without saying that I’d be happy to have a son, but I’m still very happy to just have my four adorable daughters . ”

“Really? That’s great, then . ”

Nier’s giggle expressed her bliss . She then gently leaned her warm body onto me . She’d drop her gentle side and transform into a wild beast riding my hips at night . A beauty with white stockings on me did feel darn good, admittedly .

The interior of the Royal Palace was peaceful while the rest of Hilles City was in a carnival state . Truth be told, the reality was Daisy’s baptism had nothing to do with the commoners . They just wanted to seize every opportunity to party . Their pa.s.sion did show their trust in the royal family, however, because not only did Mom not forbid them from partying but even paid the difference to reduce the cost of liquor . Thus, accompanying the smell of malt was boorish, yet sincere, exclamations of “Long live Your Majesty!” Freya was right . The people will support your rule as long as there’s food, hot water, alcohol and women . That was why Mommy Elizabeth provided them with all of those things .
