Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! Vol 19 Chapter 73

All of the soldiers at the entrance of the imperial palace were ready to confront the enemy . They had their long spears prepared for the huge fox’s arrival . Well, technically, the fox had already arrived . However, she halted in her tracks when she spotted the burning red tips of the spears in a formation .

Liu Yue bent down . She poised herself to attack as a wild beast would and then gnashed her teeth in the faces of the soldiers in silver armour . The soldiers were chosen elites and veterans who didn’t shy away from any battlefield, but they hadn’t ever fought a huge wild beast . Suddenly, somebody desperately squeezed their way through the crowd .

Vera came out from the group of soldiers and shouted, “Liu Yue! Liu Yue! Calm down! Liu Yue!”

Liu Yue narrowed her blood-red eyes . She faced the sky and howled prior looking back at Vera . The soldiers were scared . Owing to their training, they raised their spears and thrust them at the huge fox .   The heat emitted from the spears raised Liu Yue’s fur . The smell of burnt flesh was mixed in with it, but she marginalised them . Instead, she charged toward her sister .

Vera shouted at the huge fox charging toward her with saliva being flung from her mouth . Her legs shook . She wanted to run; her human instincts took over . The instinct couldn’t be overcome no matter what . Even the bravest of soldiers would lose their courage in the face of a dragon . The bloody-thirsty fox before her wasn’t different in any capacity . She was her sister, though, her beloved sister . She couldn’t run from her . Still, Vera revealed a terrified expression when her sister’s claws were in front of her . Alas, a huge net fired from a cannon suddenly trapped Liu Yue inside from the rear .

A dragon could break apart a solid metal cage, but they couldn’t escape a net . Ropes weren’t firm . To the contrary, they were soft . Powerful as a beast may be, they’d never able to get rid of a fly buzzing around them . Ropes were tantamount to said flies . The four corners latched onto the stone buildings . Liu Yue folded to the ground as a result . She wanted to stand . Sadly, the net completely immobilised her .

The soldiers locked the net down on her and restrained her legs . Vera looked dumbstruck as she watched Liu Yue struggle to try and attack the soldiers . She was so scared that she didn’t dare to approach her sister .

Ikana gently touched Vera’s head . She softly laughed and whispered in Vera’s ear, “Don’t be scared, Vera . She is your sister . She’s here to rescue you . Sometimes, it’s not others fearing you that hurts most but your family fearing you . ”

Vera could tell from Ikana’s voice that Ikana was serious . She turned her head to look at Ikana . Ikana wasn’t a huge fox or wolf . She was only an ordinary human . To Vera’s surprise, though, that was what Ikana thought .

Vera cautiously walked over . Liu Yue’s gaze stopped on Vera . Vera paused for a moment, but then Ikana gave her a push . Vera blankly stood there for a moment . Then, she squatted down and looked into Liu Yue’s eyes . She gently wiped the blood stains on Liu Yue’s face .

Liu Yue suddenly went quiet . She licked Vera’s hand through the net and softly remarked, “I’m so glad that you’re all right, Vera . ”

Vera felt relieved after hearing Liu Yue’s familiar voice . She reached out to clasp Liu Yue’s face . In a loud voice, she asked, “I’m all right, I’m all right . Are you all right, Liu Yue? Are you all right?”

“I’m all right . Dad… Dad is on his way…”

“Wh-?”

Before Vera could express her surprise, an imposing roar came from overhead . Everyone froze . They intuitively looked up . The soldiers trembled and dropped to their knees . There were three dragons . Two were white, and one was black . They circled in the sky over the top of the imperial palace . Dragons were the divine creatures of the North and beasts that only existed in legends . Dragons were a myth . Nobody could look a dragon in the eye, except for one human being, and that was the woman who had seen more terrifying things than hell, Elizabeth .

“Th-That’s…” Ikana tightly grabbed the shoulder of Abner, who was next to her, to stop herself from falling down .

A white silhouette came descended from above . The owner of the cloak didn’t reduce his fall speed . He came crashing down similarly to a meteor . Nobody could survive a fall from that high, right? Well, he did .

He heavy landing created cracks in the exquisite stone path . Once the smoke passed by, the man in white stood up and took imposing strides toward Ikana . The shocked soldiers were at a loss for what to do . A few picked up their spears, but the man with the piercing gaze grabbed them by their armour and hurled them aside as if he was throwing figurines .

Ikana watched Troy walk over with a dumbstruck look on her face . She trembled as she softly uttered, “King… Troy?”

“Dad!!” Vera rushed over to the man who’d just arrived .

Troy gave his daughter a light hug and touched her head with a smile . He gave her a kiss on her forehead then pulled her behind him . Next, he confronted Ikana .   He stood firm and loudly exclaimed, “Ikana, I have nothing to do with your grudge with Galaluocia . I’ve always respected your rule, but you kidnapped my daughter without a word and hurt another one of my daughters . Do I look like a joke to you?!”

“I am very sorry, King Troy . This was a misunderstanding . Due to Vera sharing the same name as the other Vera, my subordinates mistook her for the other Vera . As for Liu Yue, it was due to my guards not recognising her . They thought she was a magical creature that was attacking our city . I used the rope net after learning of her arrival . ”

Ikana went down on one knee and received Troy as a low-ranking vassal would . However, Troy ignored her . He strode over to Liu Yue and cut the ropes with his sword . He hugged Liu Yue’s head and gently caressed her . In a loving tone, he expressed, “It’s okay now, it’s okay now, my daughter . Don’t be scared . Dad is here . Dad will protect you . ”

The huge red fox softly moaned and then slowly reverted to her human form with teary eyes . Troy removed his cloak to cover his daughter . He then touched all the wounds she had on her . All of her wounds immediately healed .

Liu Yue leaned onto her father’s embrace and placed her face firmly up against his cheek . She wept with a blissful smile on her face . Troy didn’t say a word to anyone . He just hugged his daughter in the gentlest manner possible .

Everybody, including the youngster, watched them…
