Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Vol 19 Chapter 5

Troy sighed before asking, “Do we have a guest?”

Freya revealed a tired look, as well . Even Freya was quite tired from the day’s work . Luna revealed an apologetic look: “Sorry, Your Majesty . This was not on the schedule, but this is the Princesses’ guest, so I hope you can see them . ”

“Oh? Inever thought my daughters would have friends . Since they’re my daughters’ friend, I’ll see them . Is something the matter? Is it a boy or girl?”

“He is a boy . He is ostensibly the envoy for a nation . ”

As soon as he heard it was a boy and his daughters’ friend, Troy’s expression instantly turned sour . He was initially curious, but as soon as he heard it was a boy at his daughters’ side, he instantly lost had any desire to see him .

Liu Yue didn’t notice her father’s reaction . Therefore, she looked at him with a thrilled look: “Dad, see him . He’s pitiful . Something tragic seems to have happened to his nation, and his Queen will suffer something very scary, so help him, Dad!”

Vera nodded, but she did check her dad’s reaction beforehand . She added, “I do not mind either way, but if you want to help him, Dad, just help him . I have no interest in this boy of unknown origins . I merely wanted to see you, Dad . ”

“Thank you, Vera . ”

Troy’s gaze went from Liu Yue to Vera . He carefully pushed Liu Yue away then stood up and touched Vera on her head . Liu Yue looked at Vera with a dumbstruck look, while Vera haughtily smirked with pleasure . Troy went up to the window . Back facing the window, he said, “Since you all think I should, I shall see him . Though it’s past Dad’s work hours, Dad can pull overtime for you girls . Let him in . ”

The four sisters exchanged eye-contact . Truth be told, the four of them were of four different minds . Liu Yue genuinely wanted to help the boy . Nona had no idea what the entire affair was about, but being the kind girl that she was, she thought the boy must have something he couldn’t easily speak of given that he cried . Therefore, she thought her father should give him a hand . Daisy completely disliked the stranger . Daisy disliked anybody with a questionable background, and she was of the opinion that somebody dressed in an unflattering way wasn’t someone with good intent . As for Vera, she was merely curious as to what was going to happen to the Queen who shared the same name as her . Hence, when the four exchanged eye-contact, they all had different gazes, but it was what it was . That was not to mention nobody being against it before .

Luna went outside . Troy gently cleared his throat and adjusted his collar Liu Yue tugged down . While he was at it, he plucked off the fox fur on him then waited . Although he was somewhat tired, he maintained a serious temperament to see the envoy of a nation .

Ying opened the door and stepped in first . She bowed and then made way . The young boy behind her entered . He was nervous . He had a simple wash before he came over, so he was clean, thereby revealing his considerably white skin . He was a very young boy who had yet to even have facial hair . In fact, he was quite effeminate . If it wasn’t for his trembling throat and he was dressed in female clothing with his hair done up, he could probably pass himself off as a girl . Admittedly, he looked quite becoming in their guards’ uniform although it was a tad too large for him .

Ying introduced him: “King Troy, this is Larya Polites, who has come from Galaluocia Kingdom . ”

The young boy gave a deep bow . In a shaky voice, he explained, “Greetings, esteemed King Troy!! I am Larya Polites . I was sent as a retinue for the envoy group sent by Galaluocia Kingdom . It is very unfortunate that I bring you this news, but mishap befell the others and they, therefore, did not make it . As such, I am the only one who arrived . ”

“It’s fine . ”

Troy was originally somewhat angry for them sending just one envoy, which was an insult to the North, albeit not being anything minor or major . Nevertheless, the reason was acceptable . Troy felt that the nation did respect the North after learning that he came even though he was the only survivor . He considered the young boy to be loyal . In saying that, he didn’t know what this Galaluocia place was .

Freya went up on her toes to whisper in her brother’s ear . Troy revealed an “ah-ha” expression . He stated, “I see now . You’re the neighbouring nation to Ikana’s kingdom, correct? Okay, okay . I have history with Ikana . They provided me with quite a fair bit of care when I went there in the past . I, however, have never interacted with you . What’s the matter? Did you have business coming here this time? If you want to establish diplomatic relations, I’m open to the suggestion, but you’ll need to make a trip back and have a professional come and discuss it . ”

The young boy shook his head: “King Troy, we desperately wanted to reach out to you for your Northern Empire is highly influential in our nation… We have met with a crisis and require your help! Please allow me to speak!”

Troy’s gaze indicated he was a little bored . Frankly, the young boy was a poor communicator . Galaluocia was just an insignificant existence Troy could do with or without . In the past, Ikana’s kingdom interacted with Troy . If Ikana came asking for help, Troy would consider it, but Troy didn’t even know Galaluocia . What reason is there for him to assist a nation he didn’t know of? There was nothing to harvest .

Freya smiled condescendingly but kept silent . Troy smiled: “Go on . Having said that, I need to inform you that we’ve never involved ourselves with another nation’s internal politics . Neither will we take the initiative to get involved with the wars between other domains . I need to remind you that Galaluocia Kingdom has no agreements with us . Diplomatic relationships aside, I’ve never even been acquainted with your nation . I’m seeing you out of consideration for my daughters, so you shouldn’t expect anything from me . ”

“You can rest assured! We will be sure to provide you with adequate compensation! Have you seen that sword? The one in that Princess’ hand . ”

Daisy froze . Her dad’s eyes looked over . She handed the sword over in a somewhat disinclined manner . Troy scrutinised the sword . The sword didn’t seem to be very valuable . It was merely a very meticulously crafted sword . That wasn’t enough to attract Troy . The North didn’t lack money, so it was only natural for them to not lack splendid works or jewels . The North could produce the sword; it couldn’t spark the interest of the monarch of the North .

“Is there something special about this sword?” Troy swung the sword around, albeit him not being educated on swordplay .

The young boy nodded: “The sword can absorb mana . It is a black spar that can absorb mana . As long as you have a black spar that is large enough, you can gather all the mana onto the black spar, thereby making it impossible for magicians within the vicinity to use magic . When you wound someone with this sword, the black spar will absorb all of their mana . ”

“Oh?”

Troy’ eyes lit up . If that was true, the sword was interesting, then . The sword was supposedly made from stone, but it didn’t look any different to a metal sword . Furthermore, if that was how it worked, it could be considered a mass produced Ying and Xia . Still, it would merely be a low-grade version . A normal version of Ying and Xia could negate all magic, while the sword needed to absorb mana with its first strike then pierce the magician . Moreover, the enemy couldn’t use their magic against the sword .

While Troy, himself, couldn’t use mana, it would be humanity’s ultimate weapon against elves . The elves’ proudest weapon, mana, would be disabled if humans used the sword . In addition, it empowered humans with magic . Had Elizabeth gotten her hands on the sword twenty years ago, Vyvyan would probably have been defeated .

What about if humans were to make bullets with the mineral? Would that not be an anti-mana weapon that would destroy all magical creatures? Troy made contact with the dragons in the past, but they didn’t completely submit to them . Troy was always wary of the dragon race . Obtaining the mineral at was timely help .

“This is good, but my personal bodyguard is a bit superior . ”

Troy was very eager to get his hands on the mineral, but he couldn’t show it . When dealing with that sort of young man, he had to give the impression that he didn’t care whatsoever . That way, he’d be able to raise his gains .

“Not just this alone!! We can provide you with countless rocks! As long as you are willing to help us, as long as you are willing to help us stop Ikana from killing our ruler, that will be enough! Ikana wants to kill our Queen . Ikana was the one who killed our envoy group! Our ruler is a woman, so lots of people are jealous and refuse to acknowledge her rule! She truly is a gentle, kind, benevolent and competent monarch! Ikana knows this, which is why she is trying to plunge our nation into chaos . She supports the opposing faction . We require you to speak up in favour of us . That will deter Ikana . Furthermore, if the wisest ruler of a powerful and prosperous nation was to show support for our ruler, the people will also support us . So accordingly, we hope that you can write a declaration that you can protect our nation and our Queen Vera!”

“Vera?”

Troy lingered . He then smiled . He lowered his head and said something to Freya . Freya went up on her toes to whisper into her brother’s ear . Troy then looked back to the young man .
