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

Before the disaster came cras.h.i.+ng down, lots of people considered the trip an adventure . That statement befitted the four sisters . The four sisters thought they could overcome dangers that came their way . In the end, they all curled up behind the table crying .

Nona cried the entire time and was still crying . Terrified, she grabbed onto Liu Yue’s tail and refused to let go . Liu Yue’s mind raced the entire time as she tried to figure out when it was safe to dash outside . Daisy grabbed onto her useless long sword and refused to let go . It was as if it was her lifesaving straw that was useless in reality . It merely served as a placebo to rea.s.sure her . Vera had ideas, but that was all she had, ideas . Verya had lots of ideas but no idea what to use . As a result, she joined her sisters behind the table and only poked her head out once the gunshots ceased .

Miss Vera never left . She took cover behind the marble rail that had countless holes in it . She commanded their reinforcements to rescue the wounded and clear the paths from there . The citizens in a frantic state let out a breath of relief and calmed down when they saw that their Queen didn’t flee . That was why the palace wasn’t in absolute chaos immediately after it ended . The guards handled the aftermath orderly .

Seeing Miss Vera look so calm and collected above her, Vera looked down at her quivering hands . She never imagined she’d quiver due to fear . If she was the one at the top, her fear most likely would’ve gotten the better of her . She wouldn’t have been able to calm herself and remain standing at the balcony . Not long ago, she thought she could become an outstanding woman as Miss Vera was but, reflecting on it again, she realised that she was still painfully far from it .

“If Grandmother Vyvyan was here, she probably would’ve resolved the problem already . Even Miss Vera, who‘s powerless, had the courage to not back down a single step . It appears that what she has shown is what it takes to be a qualified monarch . A qualified monarch must possessive formidable courage even if they lack power,” thought Vera .

The four sisters used to feel their father had fewer stories than their Grandmothers Vyvyan and Elizabeth since he was once a human . During his days as a human, someone always had to go to his rescue . When they heard that, they perceived their father to be somewhat weak, but they finally realised how great their father was .

Their father was able to fearlessly face danger with his chest out . Their father was a weak, ordinary human to begin with, but he still stood at the forefront . For him to have faced off against Alice, he was overwhelmingly brave .

“A few a.s.sa.s.sins was all it took to scare me silly, which doesn’t even account for the fact that they weren’t after me . How disgraceful,” Vera cursed herself .

“I want to go home… I want to go home…” cried Nona .

Compared to Vera, fear had overtaken Nona . She hid behind the table and wailed . Liu Yue gently caressed Nona’s head . In truth, Liu Yue was trembling . Every fibre of her being, and her mind was blank . She just wasn’t as scared as Nona . In saying that, Liu Yue began to consider the consequences and dangers of the plan when she was totally interested in it before . Prior to the attack, she only knew there was a possible risk . She never thought she’d be so close to the threat . She no longer doubted the dangers would take her life .

“Is everybody all right?”

Miss Vera finally finished with things she had to attend to . The youngster turned to the four sisters . He was most concerned about Nona . In a soft voice, he said, “Miss Nona, you do not need to be so scared . I said I would surely protect you . While things happened abruptly this time, it was not a well-organised a.s.sa.s.sination team . They were most probably just trying their luck . ”

Miss Vera gave Nona a gentle hug . Nona tightly hugged Miss Vera as if she found shelter from the storm . Miss Vera stroked her head with a rea.s.suring smile . She softly laughed: “It’s all right . It’s all right, Honey . Don’t be scared . Don’t be scared . It’s all over . It’s all over . I told you, you’re our guests, and I consider you my children . I will definitely protect you . I promise . ”

Miss Vera’s voice was so gentle, and her hand was so warm . Nona gradually stopped crying in her arms . All that was left were soft sobs . Miss Vera lovingly stroked Nona’s head again before releasing her . Liu Yue gently caught her sister . Miss Vera then stood up . She gave the sisters a hopeless smile: “I am so sorry . This is our problem, yet we have dragged you into it . I’m so glad that you’re not hurt . Next time, I promise to protect you properly . You don’t need to be afraid . It’s all over . I a.s.sure you nothing so dangerous will happen again . Now, take them elsewhere for a hot cup of tea to relax . The palace is now on high alert, though, so you won’t have anywhere to play . I apologise for that . ”

Vera staggered as she got to her feet . She barely enunciated, “No… It is fine…”

Indeed, the four sisters needed a hot cup of tea more to calm down . The battle not long ago was akin to a fire, but Vera was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat, which left her feeling cold .

Ying squeezed through the guards to reach the sisters . Before she could say anything, she pulled up the four sisters on the ground . She looked worried for the first time . She tightly hugged Liu Yue . Rea.s.sured, she expressed, “I’m so glad you’re all safe . An a.s.sa.s.sin tried to rush up the stairs before, and the crowd blocked me off at the bottom; I’m so glad you’re all safe . ”

“Miss Ying, what is the situation down there?”

“We call them a.s.sa.s.sins, but it would be more accurate to say they are ruffian-type mercenaries . Only martyrs utilise such a foolish and disorganised method . But nonetheless, there is one thing I must admit . While I am reluctant to admit it, the long rifles that they used were the rifles our jaegers use . The rifles have a very long range . There were snipers from places you never thought of . If they opened fire from there, you may have left this world already . ”

The young man in white had communicated with Ying . Ying was the captain of the guard unit; therefore, the young man in white probably wouldn’t dare to hide the information .

Miss Vera nodded but didn’t comment . Needless to say, she understood King Troy wasn’t behind it, so she didn’t even consider the possibility of it being him . She was just focused on how many people would have that type of gun and if she should modify the safety regulations accordingly .

A short while later, Miss Vera gathered her guards and loudly commanded, “In summary, keep the defences around the imperial palace tight, and you must keep the four sisters safe from harm . ”
