Chapter 1902: Chapter 1895: Mother and Son Reunited

“Oh, right,” Luoya suddenly remembered something and looked at him seriously, “It seems mother is coming too.”

“Huh?”

Luo’er was so startled that he almost jumped up from his chair, showing a shocked expression, and holding the table asked, “Why didn’t you say earlier?”

“Does mother need your permission to come see you?” Luoya said with arms akimbo.

Clearly, compared to calling her mom, Luoya was more accustomed to referring to her as mother.

“No, it’s just that I’m not prepared here yet.”

Luo’er seemed a bit nervous.

“What kind of preparation is needed? Even the Commander is this embarrassed?”

Luoya tilted her young face, revealing a playful expression.

“Sigh,” Luo’er sighed deeply, slightly closing his eyes and said, “After going to the East Continent for so many years with my life uncertain, I wonder if she’ll blame me for being immature…”

“Mother has known for a while that you’re still alive.” Luoya said.

“Why is she coming to Lipei?” Luo’er asked.

“Not welcome?”

“Can’t you see,” Luo’er gave her a glare and said, “There’s about to be a war here, I’m worried about her.”

“Don’t worry, mother came by airboat and probably plans to attend your inauguration speech,” Luoya squinted her eyes, smiling and said, “We’ve changed the leader in Lipei, so of course everyone needs to come and show their stance.”

“She should be very happy to see me like this now.” Luo’er said, unconsciously revealing a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, there came a hurried knock on the door. Feng looked at Luo’er, received the instruction, and opened the door.

An officer rushed in, couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Luoya at the side, then stood at attention and saluted saying, “Reporting to the Commander, Princess Nina has arrived at Lipei and is heading to the Commander’s Office. Sir, should she be given the all-clear?”

“What!”

Luo’er was startled again, widening his eyes and exclaiming, “Such a big matter, why wasn’t I informed?”

“The airboat arrived at Lipei over ten minutes ago; it’s a commercial airboat. We didn’t know Princess Nina was onboard and hadn’t received related notifications from Ilanadale.” The officer said cautiously.

“Sigh, mother always does this, clearly she is a princess…” Luoya sighed, muttering quietly.

“Then, then, then let her pass…”

In front of outsiders, Luo’er rarely showed an embarrassed expression, which formed a stark contrast with his persona as the Commander.

“Understood, we will keep you informed on Princess Nina’s itinerary.”

The officer saluted again, then turned and left.

“Not going to welcome her?” Watching the officer leave, Luoya turned back to ask.

“Welcome for what,” Luo’er shook his head and said, “I am the highest commander of Lipei, and mother is the Princess of Ilanadale; meeting abruptly isn’t appropriate, she should come to me instead.”

Soon after, the people in the office heard hurried footsteps and noise from the corridor, sound like each step was heavily stomping on the floor, echoing loudly.

The office door was flung open with a bang, Nina panting heavily, holding her thick skirt in one hand and gripping the doorknob with the other. As the door swung open, tears sparkled instantly in her eyes.

“Princess Nina, please mind your behavior and speech in public.” Luo’er saw the crowd behind her, intertwining his fingers, speaking seriously.

Upon hearing his words, Nina was briefly stunned then reacted. She released the handle and her skirt and started to tidy herself.

“What are you all crowding for, watching a show?” Luo’er stared at the onlookers, coldly saying.

“Uh…”

Being addressed this way, the onlookers awkwardly scratched their heads, dispersing in small groups. Feng glanced back at Luo’er, then went out to stand alert at the door.

Luoya, holding no official post, naturally came over to help Nina tidy herself. Nina glanced at her outfit, smilingly touched her little head.

After a little tidying, Luoya smiled and closed the door behind her, crossing her hands lazily, tilting her head, waiting to watch the show.

“Mom!”

With the door closed, Luo’er’s restraint finally couldn’t hold back, he proactively got up and walked towards Nina, excitedly calling her.

He walked quickly to Nina before speaking again, Nina hugged him tightly.

“Mom…”

He softly called again, receiving only the sound of sobbing.

“I’ve always worried about you, always worried about you. How could you be so bad, making mom so worried…”

Nina choked up, her hands clutching Luo’er trembling uncontrollably.

“Sorry, it’s my fault.”

Luo’er had no words to reply and had to bow his head to apologize.

“If you left, half of my longing towards your father would be gone. How could you be so heartless to leave mom and sister and go to such a far place.”

Nina continued pouring out her grievances.

“Sorry, I won’t go on adventures anymore. Now, I am the highest commander of Lipei and won’t easily go out again.” Luo’er comforted her while holding her.

Nina didn’t continue speaking but instead extended her fist, punching Luo’er’s back gently, though not powerful, it conveyed her deep worry and grievance.

Without expected sobbing cries, Nina carefully controlled her emotions, but each gesture, every word showed the mother’s care for her son.

Luoya smiled, obediently stood behind Nina, silently enjoying the mother-son reunion.

She understood Nina’s feelings towards Luo’er, as they were often apart, while she as the sister enjoyed too many reunions, almost as if snatched from the brother.

Soon, Nina finally released Luo’er. She was already tearful, sniffling continuously.

Luo’er considerately wiped her tears with a tissue, Nina rubbed his arm, checking his physical condition, using such a way to care for him.

“Mom, sit here.”

Luo’er said, inviting Nina to sit in his place. Nina was completely unreserved, wiping her tears while naturally sitting in Luo’er’s chair.

“Mom, actually, I’m not very welcoming of you coming now.” Luo’er stood in front of her, without reserve, straightforwardly said.

“Not welcoming me?” Nina raised her head and asked.

“No, no,” Luo’er shook his head and said, “You should know why I became the highest commander of Lipei.”

“Isn’t it that there’s going to be a war? Just against Otland, I believe you can handle it.” Nina said smilingly, unconcerned.

“You’re so carefree, instead it makes my worries seem redundant.” Luo’er said with a bitter smile.

“I came here both as a mother to see her children and to congratulate the inauguration of Lipei’s highest commander.” Nina looked at Luo’er, speaking playfully.

Luoya came over, acting cutely, Nina naturally let her sit on her lap, winding her arms around her waist.

Luo’er looked at the mother and daughter, momentarily found it hard to distinguish. Because Luoya and Nina looked so alike, just like sculpted from the same mold.

At first, when he met Luoya, he didn’t realize she resembled mother so much. Probably due to their long separation, he gradually forgot mother’s appearance.

But truly wonderful, thinking he no longer needs to go out on duty assignments, Luo’er felt a sense of unexplainable ease.

He once yearned for the rivers and lakes of the Otherworld, but after measuring the two continents of the Otherworld over ten years, he never desired stability as much as now.

Looking carefully, staying in the office every day, dwelling in the city, seemingly isn’t bad at all.

If once Luo’er was indifferent to fame and fortune, now Luo’er longs for power. He wants to use his power to let himself and those around him live comfortably.
