Elven Forest (13)
I shook Mom’s shoulders rigorously: “Mom, what on Earth are you saying…? What are you saying?! Lucia is my wife! What are you saying? Haven’t you acknowledge Lucia already? Furthermore, Lucia gave birth to my children! And… and our child is the future monarch of elves!! They’re in danger! Vera and Nona are in danger!”
“Vera will be fine.” Mom calmly replied.  Mom looked bolder and more aggressive than before. Additionally, she looked more possessive. She tightly grabbed my shoulders and looked at me with a crazed smile. She licked her lips and replied, “I cast a spell on Vera long ago. She’ll automatically be teleported to me when she’s in danger, which is why she’ll be safe. Therefore, don’t worry, Son. Just stay by Mommy’s side as you did in the past, all right? As long as you stay with Mommy, everything will be fine…
Lucia and Nona… are just ordinary elves. Let them die. Who cares about them? Let them die. Everything is fine as long as you have Mommy, right? Everything is fine as long as you’re by Mommy’s side, right? Is Mommy not enough for you? You already have… Mommy… yet you want another elf? Do you know how much that hurts Mommy…? Do you know how much pain Mommy is in every day nowadays…? You’re my son. Isn’t it perfectly normal for you to like Mommy?”
“That cl-, ah!!”
When I was about to fight back, a magic spell smashed down on my head and pressed my entire body to the ground. My head was smashed straight into the grass, and I couldn’t budge. My dragon scales could deflect the magic attacks, but they couldn’t stop magic that used the air around as a medium.
Mom squatted down and gently touched my cheek. The magic she used to keep me pinned was perfect. I couldn’t budge a single finger, but I could comfortably breathe. With an infatuated and borderline crazy smile, she said, “Son, you’re amazing. You truly are this world’s most beautiful and most precious treasure. How are you able to be so cute and likable? Aaaaah, Son, Mommy really wants to brainwash you to keep you by Mommy’s side forever.”
“Mom! Let go! Let go of me!!!”
“But, then, my son will lose his most lively eyes.”
Mom gently pointed at my eye with her finger. She looked at my eyes with a crazed gaze. I desperately struggled, but all I could do was look back at Mom’s eyes. I was genuinely angry for the first time. My wife and daughter were in danger, yet my biological mother was keeping me pinned on the ground to satiate her possessive desires. I had no means of breaking free. Suddenly, her gaze changed. She extended a finger and stabbed it into my eye socket.
“Argh!!!!! Argh!!!”
My cries scared off the pack of wolves. The forest and pack of wolves instantly became a fuzzy white scene. I couldn’t see anything. The sharp pain had my nerves screaming. I howled as though I was ripping my throat apart. I felt warm blood flow out from my eye and course down my face.
Mom clasped my face. I then felt a warm and gently touch slide across my wound. Every inch it touched relieved me of a bit of pain. Mom licked my wound over and over before whispering in my ear, “Don’t look at me that way… Son… I won’t allow you to look at Mommy with those resentful eyes… I’m your mommy. I’m your biological mom. I gave you everything that you have right now… yet you glared at Mommy with a resentful gaze for the first time for a woman… No, no, no, that’s not how my son’s gaze should look. My son has never looked at me so aggressively before… Son, Mommy will destroy these eyes that don’t belong to you… Your eyes should have only Mommy in them forever and ever as they did in the past. You don’t need anyone else, and you shouldn’t look at Mommy that way for the sake of another woman!! Understood?! I’m your mom! I’m your mom who loves you most, understand?!!!”
Mom licked my wound as she howled something that made no sense. I screamed as I tried to struggle, but my knee joints were dealt a blow, thereby immediately robbing me of any feeling in my legs.
“Son, why do you want to leave Mommy? Why do you want to leave? I’m your mom. I’m your favourite mom. Why do you want to leave? Why do you want to leave Mommy? It’s all because of those women, isn’t it? It must because of those women, isn’t it? If it wasn’t for those women, my son would still be my son, the son who I loved most. It’s all those women’s fault. Son, are you in a lot of pain right now? Are you? Do you feel as though your entire body has snapped right now?
It’s all because of those women!! It’s all their fault!! You’re in this state because of those women! Son, have you gone crazy? You are too sick. Therefore… let Mommy treat you just as Mommy is remedying your eyes at the moment…”
My eyes slowly healed as Mom licked them. My vision was blurry, but I could move my eye again, and it no longer hurt. Mommy gently clasped my face. Her smile was particularly frightening. She reached out and stuck her finger into my mouth.
“Back then, you only ever said ‘Mom’.” Mom grabbed my tongue and tugged it hard, seemingly in an attempt to rip my tongue off: “You used to only have eyes for Mommy alone. You used to only have Mommy’s warmth in your arms. What happened to you…? Son, What happened to you…? It’s all because of those women. It’s all because of them. They’re the toxin in your body now. Let Mommy help you clear it bit by bit. Mommy will destroy your body and then your head so that your entire body will only remember Mommy… just as in the past. Mommy can’t stand it anymore!”
“Aaaarrrggh!!”
I couldn’t escape!! I couldn’t escape! It was impossible to escape! I was up against Mommy Vyvyan, the Elven Queen. She was a goddess who lost her mind. There wasn’t any hope of escape!! Mom was serious! She wasn’t joking! Mommy shattered my knees. She wanted to return me to how I originally was bit by bit, so… so… She wanted to destroy my entire body! My dragon scales could withstand the damage from attacks that would cut or gash, but they couldn’t nullify kinetic energy!!
“Your Highness, what are you doing?!!”
The one person, who I never expected to make a stand, suddenly made a stand to my astonishment.
