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

Book 3: Chapter 6

Your highness, you may go out, but you must remember to return on time

Under the barrage of my ultimate Tai Chi attack (read: If you guys dare to follow me, Ill kill myself), the imperial guards finally agreed to not follow us out. However, as they saw us off, the captain grabbed me by my arm and begged me like he was about to cry.

The guy was more annoying than my mom!

After we finally left the palace, Lucia wrapped her arm around mine and cheerfully strolled under the sunlight with me. Nothing changed around the elf capital. The same shops were there where they originally were, and the crowds were bustling as usual. Lucia cheerfully scanned our surroundings with her arm still around mine and then said: Lets Lets go get some grilled rabbits first. I can smell their aroma! It looks like they just finished grilling a batch!!

Alright But how is your nose so incredible? Can we not use the buffs provided by the wind elves to blow the aroma over towards us?

I smiled helplessly as Lucia pulled me over. The boss raised his head up to look at me, stopped moving, then revealed a smile and said: Your highness, it has been a while. If my memory does me justice, the last time you came to buy this from me was a month ago.

Ah Yeah I left for a while.

You came back at a good time because the deer hunting festival is coming up. You will be participating will you not, your highness? I really anticipate the moment you successfully kill the deer!!

Oh I havent made plans for that yet

Whats this deer hunting festival?

Lucia happily accepted the grilled rabbit thigh wrapped in something like leaves and grabbed some beer while she was at it. I looked at the oily and glimmering rabbit thigh and slightly felt like some myself. However, since I have to see the perfumer in a bit, itd better if I dont eat anything. I dont have enough time to finish it before I see her after all

After I paid, Lucia wrapped one arm around mine again, and then began to bite into her grilled meat. Its not very elegant for a girl to walk and eat something like that, is it? Lucia, however didnt care. The elves by the side didnt have any opinion either. Lucia ate as she looked at me and asked: Arent you going to participate in the deer hunting festival, your highness?

Huh?

Can you tell me what the deer hunting ceremony is first? You needed to kill a white deer for the wind elves buff, and now theres a deer hunting festival. Why do the deer have to suffer so much? Do you elves really protect the forests?

But I dont recall any elves Ive come across mention they wanted to protect the forests anyway That idea that elves protect the forests seems to be an idea Ive gone and formed in my own mind

Actually, forget it. You shouldnt participate, your highness. Its tiring and rough. You also dont know archery or magic, so deer hunting would be too difficult for you.

Lucia heartlessly hurt me, then shrugged and continued: You should just stay like this, your highness.

I feel like Ive lost all my pride as a man after what you just said

No, its fine with me protecting you! Lucia proudly continued: Thats what I work so hard for! Youre fine as you are, your highness. The kind prince you are is the prince I like!

The voice of a female that was trying to hold in her laughter from behind said: Oh~ if it isnt the kind prince and Miss Lucia It is most fortunate of me to see you two here.

I turned my head around and saw the perfumer dressed in a black dress with white silk gloves and a face veil looking at us. She lifted up her face veil a bit, smiled and bowed to salute us.

Ah, hi, umm

Mera, Elie Mera. We have met many times and yet you have not asked me for my name before, your highness.

Mera chuckled as she lowered her face veil. She looked at us with a teasing gaze. I looked back at her, smiled weakly and said: I am very sorry, Miss Mera. But we were just about to pay you a visit.

Oh? You were going to pay me a visit personally, your highness? I do apologise, your highness. If you ask me for a potion to attract Earth Dragons, then I can do that, but there are no potions in this world that could attract a white deer king. I can only spray the scent of green grass on you so that it covers your scent.

Her sigh hinted that she was tired. It looks like shes done many of these jobs and answered this question many times. I smiled helplessly. Is the deer hunting festival such a big deal for the elves? I thought it was just a small event, but it looks like its a celebration for all elves.

No Does it look like Im eager to participate in the ceremony?

Or rather, it would be a problem if you did not. All the previous kings participated in the deer hunting festival at least once before they were crowned. Further, they had to bring back a white deer king. Your father holds the record for the fastest time when he participated. It only took him two days to kill a white deer king. He really lived up to the title The Strongest Elf King.

I smiled weakly and nodded. I knew my father wasnt some loser. Otherwise thered be no way he couldve conquered those two crazy nut-heads. But my empress-moms sword skills were enough to put my dad on his ass, soits understandable as to why shes called the Strongest Swordsman of the Mainland.

That is why it would be a little strange if you did not participate, your highness. I personally would like to have the opportunity to see your heroism. I was very impressed with your resourcefulness in the battle against the Earth Dragons. However, everybody has their own way of thinking, so it is not as though you must participate in the ceremony. So what is it you were looking for me for, your highness?

Lucia wanted you to make her some perfume

The perfumer looked at us, laughed out loud and said: Haha Haha It is such a huge event. All the other elves are preparing for the deer hunting festival. They are either seeking advice from those experienced, making weapons, looking for people to make potions or visiting shrines and whatnot to receive blessings. Your highness, you two are the only people who are so carefree. Hahaha. You two could easily ease up the tensest atmosphere. Sure, I will go back and make some perfume. You can come and collect it tomorrow. But if you have time, your highness, how about you come over for some tea?

Ah Uhh Sorry, but we dont have much time. We still have business to attend to, so Sorry.

I smiled helplessly and scrubbed Lucias head. I really do want to share some tea with Mera, but my time is limited. Doesnt Lucia want to buy some clothes?

Its fine, I want to have some tea with Miss Mera too. I want to ask a lot of questions about perfumes. Lets go together then, shall we?

Lucia agreed to Meras request before I could speak. Mera smiled and gave us a nod. She then invited us with a hand gesture and said: It is an honour to have you, your highness. We are lucky in that this is a teahouse. Let us go. Your highness, please do not think poorly of the tea I select.

I wont.

I smiled and raised my head up to look at the small two-storey building made from timber. There was no sign. There was only a wooden plank with leaves carved onto it. It looks like the tea here is derived from tree leaves. I wonder if there are any differences to the tea I have in mind.

Although I was prepared to drink water with tree leaves in it
