Chapter 30

“I want to marry His Highness and have a few kids with him . ”

“I love you, Your Highness . I truly love you…”

“Again… Your Highness… Let’s do it again… in my wedding dress…”

I could still remember Lucia’s smile . I could remember all of the different smiles she wore . I could remember the lazy sunlight up in the sky when we went outside to play together . I could still remember the salty and bitter kiss we had in the shrubs . I could still remember her shy yet blissful smile on her face when she was in her white wedding dress . I could still remember the countless days we spent together . I could still remember the gentle way she comforted me, and her skin that was extremely soft .

I love her . I love Lucia . She was the first girl to love me, and she was the girl I trust more than anybody . Nier and I felt reluctant to part with each other, but Lucia always waited for my return with a smile . We knew each other better than words could do justice . We knew that we would never betray each other . She waited for me at home, and I would definitely return .

Lucia is my wife . Without Nier, and if I didn’t succeed Troy’s body, Troy would be living a happy and blissful life with Lucia, raising their child together . If I didn’t exist, Nier wouldn’t be around her . She would be with Troy forever . ’

That was how it was supposed to be . Lucia was always smiling . Lucia always wore a smile . Lucia should live a blissful and happy life . She suffered through so much . She gave up her life for her love and gave up her dream for her family . She should be allowed to live a blissful and safe life .

Lucia waited for me to return with a smile when I left . She’d wrap her arm around me and gently breathe as though she was hugging her precious baby . Now, however, she was an unmoving Lucia before me .

I stood next to the bed with a blank look . Lucia looked up at the ceiling with a lifeless gaze . She looked at the ceiling in a daze with her mouth slightly open . She had been pregnant for only five months, yet her belly was abnormally large . It looked as if there was a mountain was on her pet.i.te body . Lucia was a very small elf, but she now resembled a large water tank .

“Aaahh!!!”

I let out a cry of pain . I staggered over to the edge of the bed and knelt down in front of Lucia . I held her hand tightly . Her warm and gentle hand was now cold and weak . They were similar to a water balloon . Her white and firm skin now took a long time to rebound back up after pressing it down .

Vyvyan walked up to my trembling body and softly said, “She’s in this state, because of the child . Lucia is still alive, but her child is overwhelmingly frightening, to be honest . Her child has absorbed too much of her mana . It’s as though her child is trying to suck her dry . Your child has a very good lineage . Your child has inherited your mana, that’s why Lucia is in this state . But don’t worry . Lucia won’t die . As long as I’m alive, Lucia won’t die . Lucia is currently relying on the pure mana of the elven spring water, so she will be all right . ”

Kneeling in front of Lucia, I held her hand so tightly my entire body quivered . I let out m.u.f.fled sobs . I couldn’t hear a single word . I was just sobbing and fighting to stop myself from crying out loud . I held her hand tightly feeling despair and eagerness . Lucia could sit up to welcome me with a smile, “Welcome back, Your Highness,” but Lucia’s hand just rested in mine lifelessly .

Kneeling in front of Lucia, I held her hand so tightly my entire body quivered . I let out m.u.f.fled sobs . I couldn’t hear a single word . I was just sobbing and fighting to stop myself from crying out loud . I held her hand tightly feeling despair and eagerness . Lucia could sit up to welcome me with a smile, “Welcome back, Your Highness,” but Lucia’s hand just rested in mine lifelessly .

My tears trickled onto the bed sheet . My vision became blurry . It was the first time I realised I could shed a torrent of tears . I couldn’t control my tears . My heart felt as though it was being dug out when I looked at Lucia’s expression of pain . It was as though my heart was replaced with a gallbladder all of a sudden, causing the disgusting bitter juices to swim around in my body several laps .

“Son, Son, don’t do this . Mommy’s heart aches when Mommy sees you, like this… Mommy can’t help it, though… Lucia has to go through this . She has to . Lucia is giving it her all for your child’s sake . Believe in her, Son, and believe in me . She will be all right . Lucia will be all right . I will definitely return Lucia to you in one piece!”

I then felt a warm sensation from behind . Vyvyan knelt down and hugged me from behind . Her voice sounded slightly hoa.r.s.e . She stroked my head gently while hugging me tightly .

“M-… Mom…”

I barely made out a word as I trembled . I wiped my tears, but then, the next wave blurred my vision again . I kept wiping my tears, but another layer would form every time, blurring my vision again, so I couldn’t get a clear view of Lucia’s face despite really wanting to see her face .

“This is why I said that trash with inferior lineages cannot give birth to a Galadriel tribe member with superior lineage . ”

“This is why I said that trash with inferior lineages cannot give birth to a Galadriel tribe member with superior lineage . ”

Despite Lucia’s predicament, the voice behind me still irritated my ears . Mommy Vyvyan hugged my body so tightly that I couldn’t budge .

I then heard the sound of a walking stick from behind . He walked up to Lucia’s side and snickered . “Are these lowly elves trying to marry into the Galadriel tribe to raise their status? That’s impossible . What makes our Galadriel tribe n.o.ble and of high status is our lineage and mana purity, not giving birth to a few kids . Grandson, Lucia is not a qualified wife . She can’t even get pregnant with our descendant . What right does such an elf h-”

He couldn’t finish, because I had strangled his neck and pressed him up firmly against the wall .

He never expected I would get physical . He probably never imagined I would get violent with him .

He looked very imposing and gave the impression he was an elder, but he didn’t deserve the respect and wisdom of an elder . He was so short and light . When I grabbed his neck, I had him pressed firmly up to the wall right away .

*Cough!! Cough!!*

“You! You!! You!”

*Cough!! Cough!!*

“You! You!! You!”

He looked at my eyes with terror . He trembled while he hit me with his walking stick, but it didn’t even tickle . Perhaps my anger had overridden any pain sensations I might’ve felt .

“Troy?!”

Vyvyan exclaimed in a high-pitched voice . I completely ignored her and tightened my grip that was the same grip used to grab a chicken’s neck, instead . I raised my head to look at his squirming eyes and took in a deep breath . I did my absolute best to speak calmly, “I will not allow you to speak ill of my wife . She is my wife . This is my child . I will not allow you to say that about my wife . Lucia has done very well . If you dare to disrespect my wife in my presence again, I will make you pay the price regardless of who you are . You did not raise me, so I have no feelings for you . We merely share the Galadriel surname . But if you disrespect my most beloved Lucia, I will not hesitate to snap your neck . ”

I released him . Zelal slid down onto the ground . I walked back to the bed and took a tight hold of Lucia’s hand . With my back facing Vyvyan, I said, “Mom, take him out . I want to stay with Lucia for a while . I want to stay by her side . ”

“When do you want you want to stay by her side till?”

“Until Lucia wakes up . ”

“I want to marry His Highness and have a few kids with him . ”.

“I love you, Your Highness . I truly love you…”.

“Again… Your Highness… Let’s do it again… in my wedding dress…”.
