Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Vol 15 Chapter 9

Luna and Ling Yue met for the first time when I went out to play with my daughter . Somewhat tired, Ling Yue rested in her armchair, while Luna stood before her . Wearing a polite smile, Luna announced, “Hello, Miss Ling Yue, it is a pleasure to meet you for the first time . I am His Majesty’s personal servant, Luna . ”

Ling Yue looked at Luna with her tired, red eyes . She then responded with a soft nod: “I know you . My husband once mentioned you, but I have never met you before . You should be dead . So, have I died or did you come back to life?”

With a smile, Luna replied, “I came back to life . ”

Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile, “You really lack a sense of humour . Or is that your idea of humour?”

Luna calmly responded, “I am merely a personal servant, while you are His Majesty’s wife . Thus, I dare not joke with you . I merely answered your query . ”

Ling Yue wagged the tip of her tail: “But you and my husband smile so brightly when you’re by his side . ”

“It is my honour to make His Majesty happy . His Majesty is a unique master . You could say that I can always smile when I am at his side . Perhaps that is what you called… humour?”

Ling Yue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Luna’s neutral expression . With an expression that said, “You win,” she hopelessly smiled and said, “Forget it, Luna . Even if something did happen between you and my husband, it’s too late for me to say anything . It’s already happened between you two, hasn’t it? When you two had your relationship, I was still in the North, so I’m in no position to criticise you, either . ”

“You are thinking too much . ” Despite having said that, Luna didn’t shake her head . She merely gave that simple response . It wasn’t a denial, but rather, a surface-level courteous response .

Ling Yue smiled . Honestly, she felt a little upset, for it was rare for her husband to visit their daughter, yet he brought his former mistress along, too . Moreover, she was a mistress who had been with him for longer than herself .  Plus, from Luna’s neither supercilious nor obsequious expression and her calm attitude, it was evident the two of them were prepared to be exposed . You could even say that Luna resembled Troy’s wife more so than she did . In fact, you could go so far as to say that Ling Yue was a mistress who was avoiding Nier and Lucia, since she was unwilling to go to the Imperial City .

Ling Yue’s attitude towards Luna was complex . If Luna was an unrelated outsider, she would consider Luna a very outstanding personal servant who wouldn’t embarrass her master . As a matter of fact, her calm and collected demeanour and her polite smile could win her master respect points . As his wife, however, she was jealous of the elf and felt threatened .

Ling Yue’s lips moved, but it was only until a moment after that she asked Luna, “What do you plan to do, then? Will you continue being my husband’s personal servant at his side?”

Luna nodded and responded with sincerity: “Yes . His Majesty has helped me with a lot . He gave me everything that I have at the moment when I had nothing or anyone to depend on . I previously died protecting His Majesty . I am now alive again, so I should continue taking care of my Prince . ”

Ling Yue nodded . That last part where Luna said, “My Prince,” left Ling Yue feeling uncomfortable, but she didn’t want to throw a fit in her husband’s presence . Perhaps it was better to say whoever lost their composure first in the war of words was the loser .

Ling Yue knew Luna had no plans of fighting with her, but the way that Luna surrendered without a fight made her feel as though she was being belittled, therefore insulted . Nevertheless, there was no scoffing or animosity in Luna’s gaze . Ling Yue looked at Luna’s eyes for a very long time, but the latter’s gaze never changed . She was collected and respectful from beginning to end .

Somewhat befuddled, Ling Yue continued asking, “Do you plan to be a personal servant for your entire life? Just a mere personal servant?”

“Yes . ” That was all Luna said . After chuckling, Luna elaborated, “I am merely an ordinary elf who was kidnapped . What right do I have to ask for anything? I will be happy for as long as I can be by His Majesty’s side . His Majesty gave me everything, and I have died once already . As such, I do not ask for anything . I only hope to be able to refine myself so that I may better fulfil my role as His Majesty’s personal servant and not be sacked . ”

“You really are without desire, huh?  How are you able to be so calm?” Ling Yue hopelessly laughed . She then immediately stood up and said, “Oh, did you know, there’s another woman who has joined my husband now? No, she’s not a wife . She should be his mother . She left here to head to the Imperial Palace with the group that came here . She’s a descendant of the venerated dragon race .

“Is that right?”

Luna nodded as though she was thinking about something . Ling Yue didn’t care what she was thinking about . Instead, she went to the door of the guest room and continued, “I have to go join my husband and daughter now . I won’t go to the Imperial Palace in the North; therefore, I will be entrusting you with taking care of my husband’s life . My husband has just recuperated . I know he’s in high spirits at the moment, but one must rest when it’s time to rest, and one should eat when it’s time to eat . Everything has a place and time . Please make him treasure this life that he struggled so hard to obtain . ”

Luna looked Ling Yue’s proud and erect back as well as her magnificent tail . She solemnly nodded: “That is my duty . ”

“That’s good, then . ” Ling Yue gave a small nod, and then turned to leave the guest room .

Although my reunion with Liu Yue wasn’t a blissful one at first, when night came, Liu Yue came running to Ling Yue and my bed with her pillow . I initially planned to get cosy with Ling Yue at night, but it turned into a night with the three of us snuggling up together .

I noticed Ling Yue was a little unhappy, but when she saw Liu Yue’s pitiful expression, she sighed and made room for her daughter . Liu Yue struggled to climb up onto our bed . Honestly, the three of us only took up half of the bed that belonged to Ling Yue’s parents .

Liu Yue cheerfully shuffled her way in between us . She then looked at Ling Yue’s face and then mine . She cheerfully grabbed our hands . Smiling, she said, “Daddy and Mommy are both here . It’s the first time . The first time, hehe, sleeping with Daddy and Mommy . ”

Ling Yue touched Liu Yue’s ears and smiled: “You’ll still have to sleep alone in the future . ”

I asked Ling Yue, “It’s just one month . Isn’t that too cruel?”

Ling Yue sulked, “It’s not cruel . Children of the Moon Fox Tribe grow up incredibly fast, too . Liu Yue is already about the equivalent of a five or six year old human child, right? That’s why we need to treat her as the equivalent of a fix or six year old human child . ”

“Will you still be here tomorrow, Daddy?”

I looked at Liu Yue’s naïve and innocent eyes that glittered underneath the moonlight . Frankly speaking, I couldn’t bring myself to say I was leaving when I saw her eyes . However, I knew I couldn’t stay . I had to go tomorrow . If I didn’t hurry back and continue having fun outside, Nier would probably turn me into a steak when I get back .

I shook my head with a helpless smile . I then caressed Liu Yue’s small head: “Sorry, Liu Yue . Dad has to leave tomorrow . ”

Liu Yue suddenly looked absolutely distraught . Her ears that were standing up, flopped down similarly to a dog’s . I caressed her face with a helpless smile . I consoled her by saying, “It’s all right, Liu Yue . It’s all right . Dad promises to come and see you both every month . If you miss Dad, just come see Dad . ”

“Uhm… You’re never with us anyhow…”

Liu Yue pouted . She did say that, but nonetheless, she shuffled over to me and tightly clung to my arm . I lowered my head to give her a kiss on her forehead . I smiled: “Don’t be like this, Honey . Liu Yue, Dad very much so wants to be with you . It’s just that Dad has to work the same way Mommy has her work . ”

Liu Yue blinked her eyes . Curious, she question, “What exactly do you do, then, Daddy?”

Ling Yue pulled a funny face at me . Ling Yue didn’t tell her daughter what I did for work . There was no such thing as a “His Majesty,” to the girl .

I thought about it for a moment, and then looked back at Ling Yue . I chuckled, “Dad’s job… Dad’s job is protecting you and Mommy, in addition to everybody else around you . You could say that Dad protects everybody in the North . ”

“Are you a knight, Daddy?! Are you a knight who protects everyone and challenges evil dragons?!”

I hopelessly smiled at the sight of Liu Yue’s excited and eager gaze: “You can say that, I guess . ”

Liu Yue threw herself at me and clung to my arm . Eager, she exclaimed, “Daddy! Daddy! I want to hear a story! I want to hear the story of you fighting with a dragon to protect everyone! I want to hear it, I want to hear it!”

From behind, Ling Yue seriously exclaimed, “No! Daddy has to go tomorrow! Be considerate of your father . It’s late now and you should sleep . ”

“But it’s rare for Daddy to come back… This is my first time seeing Daddy…”

I stroked Liu Yue’s small head and smiled: “It’ll be all right . Daddy will definitely be back next month; promise . When Daddy comes back next month, Daddy will tell you a story but not tonight . Listen to Mommy, Liu Yue . Daddy will tell you a story next time . ”

Liu Yue looked at me with a somewhat disappointed look, and then she hugged me tighter . She buried her head in my chest and, in a child’s voice, said, “Okay, then… Goodnight, Daddy…”

“Goodnight, my Liu Yue . ”
