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

“There are so many books…”

“Lots of them are actually doc.u.ments I’ve read . The doc.u.ments were moved here for storage . They’re considerably old things . They’re meaningless now, but they were the steps that the North took to become what it is today, which also makes it His Majesty’s history . Lots of doc.u.ments here no longer need to be store; however, Freya kept every doc.u.ment, citing that they might be very interesting in the future . ”

Irina checked out the two huge bookshelves, where a large number of books and file holders were, on both sides of the office . The books and file holders were almost stacked up to the shelves’ gla.s.s . Ling Yue watched from behind her with a smile . Liu Yue slowly climbed onto the chair and then cheerfully climbed onto her father’s desk . Ling Yue turned around and immediately exclaimed, “Liu Yue, what are you doing?! Come down! That’s your father’s work desk!”

“Liu Yue, come down . It’s dangerous . ”

The door suddenly opened . Liu Yue looked to the door, and a radiant smile came to her face . She cheerfully exclaimed, “Daddy!! Daddy is back!!”

Liu Yue dexterously hopped off the desk and zipped past her mother to leap into my tight embrace . I picked her up with a smile and kissed her cheek: “You’ve grown quite a bit, Liu Yue . You’re prettier than the last time I saw you . ”

Liu Yue kissed her father . She joyously responded, “You, too, Daddy!”

Irina felt a little envious when she watched the father and daughter pair . He was a boy, but he was also a child . Her son could act spoilt with his father at his current age . Actually, even if he couldn’t act spoilt, he could’ve joyfully played with his father in the past . Nonetheless, because of her, he didn’t have a father during his childhood . On a positive note, that was also why he was very sensible and understanding . Her own child was afraid of worrying her . Sadly, sometimes, being too gentle will hurt others .

“Ling Yue . Irina . ”

I finally s.h.i.+fted my gaze off Liu Yue and to the two women with a strange relations.h.i.+p . I gave them a small nod . Ling Yue seemed displeased with her husband for caring for only her daughter and not her . Irina fearfully looked at me . I basically looked at Irina the exact same way I looked at Ling Yue, which made her feel slightly better .

“I know about Liu Yue’s matter, so don’t worry . Freya still has a group of humans clinging to her . If you have any thoughts, share them with Freya first . We shouldn’t be too intimate this time; else, they’ll claim that you and I are being biased toward the anthropoids, which won’t be too good . That’s how humans are . Don’t touch their profits; otherwise, they’ll do anything, and come up with any excuse . I really don’t want to offend them . ”

I sighed then turned to Ling Yue . While she was very unhappy, she understood what I meant . She had to take Liu Yue and leave . Liu Yue loudly protested, but when she heard me say that I was going to call Nier to play with her, she immediately turned tail . Hence, I was left alone with Irina .

I gently shut the door then sat at the table . I indicated for Irina to sit, too . I conveyed, “I genuinely didn’t expect you to come here on your own accord . I thought you dragons didn’t want to leave . Let’s put your reasons aside for the meantime . I want to know how he is, our son, that is . ”

“Mm… Everything is well . ”

The mention of her son warmed up Irina’s heart . Troy didn’t want to recall his memory with her and his son . Irina knew she essentially s.n.a.t.c.hed their child from him . She was worried about her son and his father being hostile with each . By the looks of things, however, her son admired his father . Troy didn’t hate or forget him . He, too, always kept his son in his mind .

I stood up . I lightly pressed my hand onto Irina’s hand and, in a gentle voice, said, “I see . It’s been hard on you . You’ve raised him all alone for so long . Despite being his father, I didn’t do anything for him . ”

The warmth on the back of Irina’s hand instantly shot to her heart . The blissful memories with the man she liked resurfaced . She was so nervous that she didn’t know what to say .

“Not at all…”

“So, what did you come here for this time?”

I pulled my hand back and sat back in my chair . She froze for a moment before smiling helplessly . She almost forgot that she couldn’t be with me .

“His feelings for me are far from love . I just stole something from him . I exchanged what I stole for his care . Sadly, there are only two women who he will ever love,” Irina told herself .

“I hope that you can give Raul a job by your side . ”

“Huh? Raul can work already? He’s only five, isn’t he? I haven’t remembered it incorrectly, have I? I couldn’t be mistaken . ”

“Dragons are considered grown up by the age of five . Raul can now take on the jobs of a grown man . I do not think the dragon race will be able to continue living there in the future . The world is moving faster and faster . Lots of people have moved close to us . If we continue to live in seclusion, someone will discover us sooner or later . I want to let my son see the world . Further, he should get to see his father . He greatly admires you . He views you as the hero who saved the entire North and the dragon race . ”

I smiled helplessly: “I have no idea what you told him, but I think it might not be a good thing for him to see me because his image of me will be destroyed . I’m no hero . The so-called Hero King t.i.tle is just for advertis.e.m.e.nt . I wouldn’t spend so much effort trying to win the favour of those rich businessmen to prevent them from leaving the North, otherwise . That said, you’re right with what you said . If he wants to work, I’ll let him work as my guard . I’ll personally write him a letter . Just take the letter back to him . ”

Irina was happy that I didn’t refuse her . She stood up and watched me write on a sheet of paper . Rather than call it a letter, it was a King’s decree . He could join the guards if he had the order .

Irina noticed that I wasn’t in the best mood . Having misgivings, Irina warily asked, “Are things going all right?”

I shook my head with a smile . I took out my seal and dipped the heat stamp into the fire to heat it up . I wiped my face: “It’s not something incredibly important . It’s just a business deal . I just want to make more money, though . The one thing I dislike most is forming connections with them . To be frank, we’re fussing over the details to an excessive extent . In saying that, they’re easier to connect with than the ambitious soldiers and politicians . ”

“I do not quite understand…”

“There is one thing you can tell me, though . Irina, has anybody found a forest with lots of wild animals – relatively speaking?”
