Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons!

Book 19: Chapter 42

The girl submerged herself in the water. She shut her eyes and let the sound of the water flowing beside her gently echo in her ears. Alas, the fires during the day and flying bullets continued to resurface. She even saw images of bullets puncturing her. Despite the hot water, she still felt cold with those thoughts weighing on her mind.

What must be going through ones mind to be able to step up in that sort of situation? How much courage and fearlessness is required? Liu Yue asked herself.

Liu Yue shook her ears. The water droplets on her smooth and long fur coursed down. She looked at the mist overhead and softly remarked, I really want to go back and see what Dad wouldve thought

Vera swam over to Liu Yue to inquire, Dad what?

What should be done if Dad was the one in that situation?

Dad definitely wouldnt have done worse than Miss Vera. He wouldve done even better than her because Dad is a stronger ruler. Hes also braver and has a stronger sense of duty.

Indeed. Nevertheless, do you think we should go back now? Honestly speaking, I never imagined that would happen. While I thought it would be dangerous, that was the first time I felt danger was knocking right on my door I was, in all honesty, scared beyond words. I was no better than Nona Frankly, I really really really miss home now Liu Yue hugged her knees.

Really?

Liu Yue was the youngest among the four sisters. Due to her going to school outside of the Imperial Palace, though, she was much more mature than Nona and Daisy; hence, lots of things were discussed between Vera and Liu Yue. In the discussion, however, Liu Yues attention clearly wasnt on Veras question but somewhere else.

Liu Yue didnt answer Veras question. Instead, she looked to where their other two sisters were, and then asked, What do the others think?

You mean Nona? Nona probably wants to go home as soon as possible now, Id imagine As for Daisy I think she feels powerless now; leaving would be the best to her.

How about you?

Me? Veras voice softened: Im fine either way. Truth be told, although Im shaken after what took place, I I I cant help but feel it would be a pity for us to leave We want to prove ourselves If we go home, itd be the equivalent of fleeing home. If we cant overcome this level of danger, it means were still children.

Liu Yue pursed her lips: Haha, youre right Im not going to pretend I wasnt scared. Thankfully, the fear has started to settle. We managed to get through it once and, therefore, should be able to get through it a second and third time. Plus, I want to be like Dad.  I want to be Dads daughter, a qualified daughter. I want to prove myself.

Yeah? In other words, you dont plan to return home, correct? So, our dance shall go on.

Despite us having the choice of not returning, Im still worried Dad will come here. If Dad is angry, what do we do?

Theres nothing we can do, then. With that said, its fine if Dad personally comes. Maybe Dad will be able to resolve everything while hes at it. That will save Miss Vera trouble, right? Given what today happened, there might be more dangers in the future. The coronation ceremony hasnt even started

Isnt the city under martial law now? Im sure theyll be able to eliminate plenty of spies and assassins, right?

Hard to say. Whatever the case may be, we must protect ourselves.

Can you still use your magic?

Liu Yue wiggled her tail. She climbed out and sat down on the chair to groom her tail. She lathered her entire tail with the oil to ensure her fur is smooth and wont stand up. That was a chore she had to do every day.

I can. The caveat is, Ill have to use my own mana if I want to use magic. It wont last for long, and theres no mana to replenish with. Be honest with me, can you still transform?

Transforming is our talent as Moon Foxes. It has nothing to do with whether or not theres mana in the vicinity. Put another way, I can transform whenever I want. If I fail, well just run, I guess. Well have to give up on Miss Vera and run when were in a pinch. We cant disappoint Dad, and we most definitely cant make him said.

Vera sighed: If we can actually do it when it matters, then that would be great Didnt Dad once say that there were times in the past where he could leave but would choose to protect the people around him, instead? He never left. Though we havent gone through what he did, I think we must do the same, as we are Dads children.

Thats not bad.

========

Current time outside the bathroom.

Ying stood up and extended forth her hand: Do you have business here?

Oh, what happened during the day was our fault. Our mistake gave the Princesses a fright. We never expected that to happen, either. That is why I have come specifically to deliver some drinks that can help calm the Princesses.

Ying looked at the pot of water and four cups in the tray he held. She narrowed her eyes and asked, Is this Miss Veras idea?

The youngster awkwardly smiled: Uh No, it is my own idea Truthfully truthfully I want to apologise, as well After all I said I would protect them when we were out on the ocean, but I failed to fulfil the promise. I guess you could consider this a gift to compensate them. You can rest assured. There is nothing in the drinks.

Ying ignored the youngsters oath. She took the tray and poured a cup. Liu Yue pulled the door open right as Ying went to have a drink. The youngster immediately froze at the sight of Liu Yue wrapped in just a towel. However, Liu Yue immediately checked to ensure she didnt have any sensitive parts revealed, so she didnt panic. She grabbed a cup to drink.

This is really nice

Your Highness Ying quickly grabbed Liu Yue and exclaimed, Hurry and spit it back out! Vomit it! Hurry! I have not drunk it yet!! I have not drunk it yet! You

I trust Miss Vera, and I trust him.
