Book 2: Chapter 4

Translator Comments: Hey all, if you havent rated or reviewed the series on Novel Updates, itd be awesome if you could take some time to. Lets share the greatness of Son-con to more people! Patrons, new chapter for you all tomorrow. Everybody else, see you the day after guys!

The outer chamber should be called a palace or a castle as opposed an outer chamber. As soon as I entered, I was shocked when I found that the large chamber which was decorated resplendently and luxuriously. I had to go up flights of stairs to reach my room which was on the fourth floor. No, you didnt misread that. This whole palace, this so-called outer chamber only had a single room which was mine. The other rooms were showrooms, living rooms or music rooms. There were also all sorts of pointless sets of armour and paintings hung up as decoration.

Im living alone in this huge castle?! There are housekeepers and servants, but they all live underground. They dont come up to the surface unless theres something that requires their attendance.

I looked at the massive room before me that was like the size of two classrooms and flipped through the books on the table. I dont know who prepared them but they were primarily literature books. The bed was much more exquisite and luxurious than the one at the elf nation. When I jumped onto the large mattress, it was like I got swallowed up by it

Will I be able to wake up tomorrow if I spend the night sleeping on this bed?

I lay on the bed, sighed and spaced out while looking at the roof above me. Humanitys empire is a bit different to what I imagined. Actually, its more accurate to say that as a human myself, I find it hard to understand this place. I mean, for a mother who went to war with a neighbouring country for her kid, shouldnt she be excited at the sight of seeing her son? This empress however virtually gave me the cold shoulder thereby putting me in a dilemma. On one hand, theres a huge difference to what I expected. On the other hand, Ill have a large degree of freedom while here.

Moreover, I just cant feel at ease here. Theres the majestic empress and the cold female bodyguard. I think Ill go nuts if I dont find some sort of entertainment here. I dont get much freedom in the elf nation, but running around in the palace with Lucia is fun. However, my Lucia isnt here with me.

Ive only got a cold female bodyguard

Knock. Knock.

Come in.

I sat up as the door got pushed opened. The black-haired female bodyguard flicked her hair, looked at me, bowed and said: Your majesty, her majesty has invited you to lunch with her. Please come with me.

Umm, Nier!

Nier turned her head around and asked: Is something the matter, your majesty?

Well, uhh Is my outfit appropriate?

I was wearing the clothes placed on my bed which really matched the empresss tastes. It was a sky blue and white military uniform but slightly modified. It seemed like everybody here wore boots, but they were quite comfortable when worn. I dont really know how to wear clothing made during this period properly. I just tried it on. I dont know if it suits the occasion or not.

Nier looked at me and then walked up to me from the front. She reached out and adjusted my bow tie by my chest. I raised my head and my eyes made their way to Nier subconsciously who was very close up to me. Niers face is really pretty. Perfect actually, as if it were a statue with her features carved that way deliberately. But at the same time, her face lacked the compassion a statue lacks. Her eyes didnt look as serious as the empress. She should look radiant if she were to smile like Lucia when shes happy. She probably never uses perfumes, but she had an elegant fragrance on her.

Done. Please pay attention to the position of your buttons and bow tie next time.

Nier took a step back and turned around. Her army sabre hanging on her waist swung through the air dangerously as she turned. I was distracted for a moment. My sensitive senses given to me by the elves made me notice a drip of blood run down her scabbard dangerously. It wasnt a large drop of blood. It was just a thin layer of blood, but that was evidence that Nier had just killed somebody.

I called her again:  Nier! Whats with the blood on your sword?

Nier turned her head around and casually replied: A maid entered her majestys room prior to receiving permission, so I killed her.

I stared at her flabbergasted: You killed her just because of that?!

Nier looked at me and righteously said: Thats right. Is that not enough? She barged into her majestys room without permission and even saw her majesty in that state, so I had to kill her to prevent her from spilling what she saw. I believe that was the right thing to do. I also believe that you dont have the authority to criticise me because we Valkyries receive our orders directly from her majesty. You have no right to question us.

Killing someone is no big deal to her. Killing people for her majesty was as normal as it gets. Her world view, philosophies and values are completely different to mine.

Alright, Im speechless What else can I say? If thats what her majesty commanded you to do, then it also means she agreed to it. In other words, shes as savage as my mom told me I knew mom wouldnt lie to me! My mom wasnt maligning her, its the truth!!

Im about to go and have lunch with a wolf!!

Please come with me, your majesty, were running late and making her majesty wait.

Okay!!

I was scared This was no longer about freedom but my life itself!! Humanity is scary! I want to return to the elves! Mom doesnt let me go out, but shed only spank me if I angered her. She wouldnt even think of killing me! I stayed with the elves for only a month and mom only got angry once. She didnt burn Lucia to death either. But in just an hour after arriving here, someones already been killed!

Right now in the dining hall

The empress paced back and forth in the dining hall, biting her thumbnail as she looked around the dining hall. The head chef looked at her anxious expression and asked: Are you feeling really nervous, your majesty?

Yeah My son is about to get here What do I need to prepare? Hmmm The wine has been prepared, right? The dishes are ready as well, right? Oh Thats right! I I need to get him some auspicious meat stew And there was also Right! Wine Wine What shall I wish him? I I wish you the best of health? I hope that you grow up soon? No. No. Hes already eighteen years, two months and fifteen days old already Hes already an adult

The prince has arrived

Kyaaah!!

The empress who was in deep thought got a fright from the sudden voice that spoke out. She rushed towards the main seat and settled down. She took a deep breath, gently rubbed her face and softly said: Its okay, its okay. Dont be scared. Dont be scared Dont be nervous, hes your own son. Hes your son. Calm down, calm down What should a normal mother do?!!!

Thats right. The empress has always been a swordswoman. She led the cavalry against enemy armies many times when she was eighteen years old. Her accolades from war are incomparably glorious. Her accomplishments far supersede the emperors before her.

However, she has no idea how to carry out the duties of a proper qualified mother.

This is the dining hall. I hope you and her majesty enjoy your meal.

Arent you coming in with me?!

Nier gave me a weird look and said: Its your lunch with her majesty, I cant enter. If you need me for something, just call for me.

No Thats not it Im not asking you to eat with me. The thought of eating alone with her majesty scares me and makes me tense.

At that time, I had no idea that right now, behind this white door inlaid with gold and pearls, was somebody who was even more tense and nervous than I was
