67 – Subjugation (2)

“Ugh…Head…”

When I woke up, the morning sun was already rising.

Obviously, I was reviewing after returning to my room after finishing the royal studies class…

Looking at it now, I have an IV attached to my forearm.

Looking at the color, it appears to be glucose sap.

Did he collapse from overwork?

“Is anyone missing?”

“Did you call me?”

The person who opened the door and entered was the maid of the royal castle.

Elves must have pointy ears.

When I leaned back on the bed and held my head, I woke up.

“What happened?”

“You passed out last night.”

“…I see.”

I’ve been stuck in my room lately and studied all day.

Have you minimized your sleeping time and slept for 2 hours a day?

I looked up and saw the desk that had fallen over last night.

Looking at the cold desks and chairs, I realized that now is not the time to lie idle.

I realized it in an instant.

“Rest… You need to take a break. Please fix it.”

“Now is not the time to be like this. The people waiting for me…”

I woke up by drinking cold water from the table next to me.

I felt a headache for a moment, but it was nothing considering the pain the people must be suffering.

I tried to lead the ringer and approach the desk, but

My feet did not come off willingly.

“Stop it.”

“Pe…Your Majesty!”

The elf maid fell to her knees.

I was also the king of a vassal country, so I had to do my best

I didn’t even have the energy to do that.

Queen Kritias must have been considerate of that.

She motioned for permission to sit on the chair at her desk.

“Did you collapse from overwork?”

“…I apologize. So that there are no disruptions to class…”

“Okay. I heard you need to rest for another two days.”

“Yes? Until two days…”

If I take two days off, the date I return will be much delayed.

I still don’t know when that will be, but I didn’t want to break my promise to come back as soon as possible.

“What do you think studying is?”

“Isn’t it endless learning? I know that by conviction.”

“That’s not wrong.”

Queen Kritias sat down in her chair opposite her and crossed her knees.

Maybe she doesn’t know that her underwear is reflected in her clothes that look a little thin.

“Certainly there is no end to learning. But there is a limit to human learning.”

“…….”

“It is impossible except for us elves who live an infinite life to be able to covet the knowledge of unlimited learning.

This is a principle of inconvenience that even you, the head of a country, cannot escape from.”

“……”

I couldn’t argue.

That’s because the ability of elves was beyond common sense.

In addition, Queen Critias is an elf.

If the person who uttered these words was a human being, there are many words that could be returned.

Since she was an elf, all her words were blocked.

“I understand that you are impatient, but don’t overexert yourself. The people waiting for you in the motherland will

How many do you think?”

“…I understand.”

Nearly 100 million people.

I am still receiving reports via remote conference, but

It would be more comfortable for the head of state to be in the country rather than in a foreign country.

“Okay, that’s enough. Take a good rest for the next two days.”

“The last name is indescribable.”

Even after Queen Kritias left, she stayed there with her head bowed for a long time.

She is not suffering from headaches and dizziness.

She is the same ‘King’, but she felt that the difference between her birth and inevitably is huge.

I was born as a common citizen, but that queen has been a queen since birth.

“A real product?”

I was called by Lara and headed to Daejeon, showing the items of the gift that came in

I asked if there was anything I wanted.

“There are some guys that Yuk seems to like.”

Oh…

Come to think of it, the Atlus Republic’s IT industry was a national industry, so there was no income.

If it’s what I want, it must be related to that too.

“Let’s see…Ohh…Oh?”

No, there is no such thing as a smartphone?

What’s something I might like?

The list includes jewelry such as expensive rings and necklaces.

There were different types of swords.

I was particularly surprised that there were swords that looked close to national treasures, but

Wouldn’t it be nice to get some of these and give them to Lillie and Marlon?

“Can I take this sword?”

“Of course.”

I see.

Are you following the score?

I left a check mark next to the swords that looked good.

I don’t need it, but if it’s going to rot in the castle’s warehouse anyway

It’s good for swords if Lillie and Maron clean and handle them.

Good for producers too.

“Oh, that’s right. And a package came from the home?”

“Huh? What happened?”

Although her mother always sent me something

She usually contacted me before she arrived.

Or not from her mother

Could it be her father or Sylpia?

Are the two of them still talking about the real products?

I stayed at my seat, but I headed for my room.

When I arrived at the room, there was a box the size of a cake box that wasn’t there before.

It was on the bedside table.

“Let’s see… The sender is…Sylphine.”

Looking at the courier invoice, I smiled.

What parcel did her tomboy sister send to her brother?

She said the boy had something to send me.

I opened the box with a happy heart.

Inside were things like scented candles and ballpoint pens usually sent by mothers.

There was no letter from my mother that was usually sent by courier.

Instead, there was a letter presumed to be from Silfia.

I spent video calls with my mother every day, but I wonder if she likes to write letters?

When you send something like this, there is always a letter in it.

Well, you may have forgotten.

Because my mother is also very busy.

I put down the courier’s items and took out an envelope supposed to be Sylphia’s letter.

“He doesn’t care about his own business…”

From the beginning, heart-warming greetings and conversations about my health came and went.

And she didn’t know what she was doing or what she was doing.

It was written about the flower pots being grown.

“Huh?”

And then the topic suddenly changed

The story of my mother came out.

From the outside, they both seemed to be in good health, but

If you look closely, it’s not like that.

It was said that the mother’s mental health was deteriorating.

At first, he complained of stress-related fatigue such as shaking his legs or wandering around.

Worrying about things that haven’t happened yet, or being unable to sleep because of nightmares

She said that she was having a hard time.

It was my mother’s PTSD symptoms that I had heard about before.

In an instant, the inside of her head went white.

If it were me, I would have been confused while thinking this and that in my head.

Maybe it was because of what my mother said.

I had no idea.

If you leave her mother unattended, she will be ruined within a month or two.

To the extent that I couldn’t even hold it.

For what reason?

In an instant, several scenarios popped into my head.

Before I was born, was it because of the restoration magic I used on my mother who had recovered to some extent?

Or is there some new problem that’s making her mentally unstable?

If that’s not the case, if your mind wasn’t recovered in the first place, what if your mother had been holding back?

What if she was holding back because she didn’t want to look bad for her new son?

No, that’s not important right now.

What happened to the reason should be put on the back burner for now.

First of all, I have to go to the Principality of Sieghart.

No one will stop me, but even if I do, I will go.

First of all, I called Silfia’s room to find out the exact details.

***

It hasn’t even been a month since we broke up in the palace

The mother I saw last time and the mother now are quite different.

My mother at that time was a dignified and reliable mother.

She was dark and anxious as if she was being chased somewhere.

Because they didn’t even know I entered the office.

Others might see it as a common symptom of anxiety.

But my family knew it well.

That my mother’s current appearance is only an early symptom…

“Mom.”

“…..Yuke? It’s useless now…”

It seems that he judged me in front of me as vain.

Are you in such a predicament?

I went over and hugged her mother’s head.

Although she was shocked at the moment and tried to distance herself from her mother,

When I held his hand, he showed no sign of defiance.

“Is this really my son…?”

“Yes, my mother’s son, Yuk Sieghart.”

“Whoa…”

“From now on, I will infuse magic into it, so please bear with it even if it hurts.”

“Yes… I’m sorry. It must be the day I go to the academy.”

“Don’t worry, you just need to take supplementary classes for a day.”

Seeing her mother depressed because she was sorry, her heart ached for a moment.

I can’t believe seeing her mother’s weakness hurts her so much.

She was always confident and cool in front of her children…

I blew her magic into my mother’s head.

I could feel something, like some other impurity, but

Unable to withstand my magical power, it was neutralized and disappeared.

No, it was recorded using ‘copy magic’ before disappearing.

If this is what affected your mother, you’ll know the proper reason.

“…..How is it?”

As a result of using it on several people, it was clear that my power was the power to revive mental power.

He even restored the health of those who have lived through the ages.

But I wonder if it was because I used it on my mother.

I feel uneasy even though I have certainty.

What if I make a mistake, what if I fail.

Such fear bloomed in an instant.

The mother who closed her eyes and accepted my magical power

She seemed to meditate with her eyes closed for a while.

And when her eyes opened, her mother made a look of genuine surprise on her face.

“Huh…?”

Slap yourself on the cheek saying you don’t understand

Trying to walk around her.

Maybe it worked out.

“It’s really amazing. That this changes so dramatically…?”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

My mother heard that she had conceived me, and even when she was in a worse situation than now,

Because he was the one who came to his senses overnight.

Well, it was a different situation from now when my mind was still to some extent.

It may be different from the sensation you are feeling yourself.

I put the paper on which the impurities were copied into my bosom, and embraced it in my mother’s bosom.

For the first time in my current life, I felt grateful to God for being born with this ability.
