Dragons’ Cry Genesis (Part 19)

Mommy Elizabeth sat with one leg over the other . She coldly looked at Vyvyan, who was opposite her, and frowned . She complained, “I can’t get along with this woman! I thought you wanted Mommy to help you, Son . That’s totally fine . Mommy can help relieve you of your pressure . Mommy should do so, but what’s with this woman, Son? You didn’t mention this elf in your letter . ”

“No, I didn’t…” My voice sounded weak .

My two moms had prepared to unite already, yet they were still hostile to each other . Vyvyan indifferently snorted: “There’s a procedure for everything . A tree needs to have branches before there can be leaves . A flower must have petals to bloom . You, on the other hand, don’t even know what procedure means . I received my son’s letter first, and I arrived first, yet you are acting as though you have the right to be saying you can’t get along with me . Do you have any shame, you know, that stuff you humans have?”

Elizabeth slammed her hand on the table and stood up . She snickered: “I can’t believe you have the audacity to say that . My son’s letter was addressed to his mom . He asked his mom for help . You think you have the prerogative to appear by my son’s side? You think you can help him? Tell me what you can do . ”

Vyvyan coldly replied, “I can learn if I don’t know . Even if I have to learn, I’ll learn before you can . n.o.body is born capable of everything . I taught my son how to eat with a spoon up until now . Tell me again what you did during that time . I can’t believe you still think you’re his mom . You didn’t even fulfil the obligations of a mother, and you think you qualify to be talking about being a mom?”

“Okay, okay, Moms…”

“You only have one mom!” exclaimed both of my moms in unison, startling me .

The two of them appeared to notice they gave me a fright, so they stopped quarrelling . Instead, they sat down there while shooting off their anger .

I admit it was my mistake . I shouldn’t have hid the fact that I asked them both to come in the letters… Actually, if I did inform them, I think the situation would be even worse . They might’ve fought just to see who’d get to come .

The truth of the matter was that the two of them had a very good relations.h.i.+p . I believe they both came here in high spirits and cheerfully when they received my letter . After all, they both wanted to stay by my side and take care of me . But alas, the presence of the other rained on their parades . The blissful life they imagined was shattered . The huge contradiction to what they envisioned encouraged their bickering .

Seeing the two of them stop talking, I forced a smile . It was my problem, no question about it . It was my only choice, though . The both of them needed to be present . Else, they’d be biased . I needed both of them present to keep the other in check .

“Listen to me, uhh, Empress and Queen… Um… I called you here this time, because I have a situation that’s beyond me . At present, I have too many things to sort out . I’m referring to the work related to the alliance… I have something I must leave to deal with . During my absence, I will need you two to handle the matters pertaining to the alliance . I’m sure you’re both capable of handling the matters . I’ll also be leaving Freya behind… Of course, I am making this request of you two as monarchs…”

Because neither of them acknowledged the other, I couldn’t say I was pleading them as their son .

The two looked at me and quickly nodded . I then smiled helplessly: “Of course, there’s one more request I’d like to make as family, and that is for you two to look after my children and wives . I shouldn’t have to go too far this time . I’m just making a trip northwest . There won’t be any danger involved, either . ”

Elizabeth stated, “Son, I want to know where you’re going . ”

I stopped to think before replying, “I’m not sure, either, as I’m going to search for a place . I only have a rough idea of where it is . Thus, I can’t say for sure . It shouldn’t be very difficult, though, neither should it take too long . ”

“Uhm… Will it be dangerous?” Elizabeth didn’t seem to be concerned with what exactly I was doing . Her question about my safety must’ve been what she wanted to know most .

I responded, “It should be very safe, so you don’t need to worry . I’m going to search for a horde of dragons . Hence, I’ll be bringing the Dragon with me . She’s very powerful, so I should be safe . ”

Elizabeth nodded .  Elizabeth didn’t know dragons very well, but Vyvyan had respect and fear for them . Dragons were truly a very powerful species . More specifically, Elizabeth’s att.i.tude towards Dragon Mom wasn’t the best . After all, Dragon Mom once made a request that was impossible to accept .

Vyvyan seemed to be trying to give me encouragement: “It shouldn’t be dangerous . While dragons are very powerful, it’s possible to communicate with them . You can search for them, Son . Notify Mommy once you locate them . Mommy will team up with Ying to slay them . They are a serious threat to the continent, after all . One dragon is plenty . Of course, I don’t want to keep even one around . ”

As an elf, Mommy Vyvyan still harboured animosity towards dragons . In addition, Vyvyan wanted to kill the woman who was intimate with me . That being said, I was strongly against the notion of slaying the dragons . To be precise, I didn’t want to kill them before they were hostile to me .

“If there are no mishaps, we shouldn’t fight in our own territory . If one dragon can create such uproar, a horde might do something bigger . Furthermore, the dragon is going with my son this time . If something happens, the dragon may not side with my son . Therefore, you can ignore what this woman said . It’s better to avoid conflict with the dragons . ”

Elizabeth made a very rational statement . That was what I had in mind . Unlike with humanity, we still needed to balance out the balance of power in the North . Since Mommy Vyvyan didn’t have to worry about that, she didn’t care about killing or sparing . She didn’t consider the consequences . So accordingly, I should bear Elizabeth’s suggestion in mind .

Vyvyan irritably scratched her head . That was a gesture Vyvyan performed when she realised she was wrong but was unwilling to admit it .

I smiled . Then, I walked up to my moms’ sides . I held their hands and said, “Moms… Don’t argue with me until I finish . Are you two willing to help me? I know your relations.h.i.+p is not bad . I need you two to stay here at home to take care of my wives and children on top of maintaining our alliance . I know I suggested the alliance, but it’s not too good if I leave by myself now . At the same time, I can’t delay this any longer . ”

Mommy Elizabeth grabbed hold of my hand and spoke up first: “No problem . No problem . If you can’t take it, just leave it to me, Son . I’m your mom . I’ll definitely help you .   Mommy will help you despite this woman being here, too!”

Vyvyan touched my head with a smile: “No problem . While Mommy doesn’t like this human, Mommy will do the best Mommy can . That’s how a mom is supposed to be . Son, if you don’t act wilful with Mommy, what’s the point of Mommy’s existence?”

Elizabeth and Vyvyan reached an agreement in a way . I knew their relations.h.i.+p hadn’t completely broken down . They would be decently friendly with each other if it wasn’t for me . There shouldn’t be a problem with them handling work in my absence . With my two moms at the palace, it’d be easy to resolve any issues Nier and Lucia might have, since they were family .

Everything in the Imperial Palace was sorted . I left early to let Mommy Elizabeth sleep earlier . I sent Mommy Elizabeth to her room . I saw her standing in the room, looking at me with a somewhat shy expression . I knew that what happened between us caused our interactions to be awkward when we were alone . Elizabeth always recalled what happened when we were together .

I wasn’t keen to get intimate under the sheets with her then, having said that… Honestly, I was spent . After I finished with Dragon Mom, Mommy Vyvyan tortured me again .   I wouldn’t even be able to do it with Nier if I wanted to . Plus, Elizabeth wasn’t Vyvyan . Elizabeth was very shy . She didn’t want to do it . They were literally copies of Nier and Lucia .

Mommy Elizabeth genuinely looked tired . I admit that it greatly saddened me . Mommy Elizabeth wasn’t as physically healthy as she was when she was younger . She had gone through so much that the exhaustion was slowly creeping in . While her appearance didn’t age, her body did .

I obtained an unknown lifespan length through my Dragon Mom’s dragon blood . My former body didn’t provide me with a long lifespan due to my half-human nature . My lifespan should presumably have been normal after obtaining dragon blood . I couldn’t confirm how long it is, but that was the beauty of life . You never know when you’ll die . That’s why you try so hard to live .

I contemplated, “If possible, I’d like to find something from the dragons that can extend Mommy Elizabeth’s lifespan . Since dragon blood works, can I a.s.sume there’s something else which it can be replaced with?”
