The Conquerors Path

Chapter 76: A Mother’s Burden

Sunlight fell from the window into a room where a young man lay, slowly his eyes opened

‘Huh?, did I fall asleep?’

Waking up I could see that I was still laying on my mother’s lap, looking up I could see my mother too sleeping by laying her head to the side, I couldn’t help but fall into trance while seeing her

Sunlight fell from the window falling to ger face, her hair was moved to the side, giving a clear view of her neck, even when she slept she was prim and proper, a beautiful image was created, making me unable to look away

‘Looks like I can finally relax a bit’

The past year’s weren’t exactly a great one, being transmigrated and then being asked to capture all the targets or die, isn’t exactly a great relaxing opportunity

Plus the constant pressure of increasing my strength, along with all the dangerous this world posses isn’t something with makes you relaxed, I have been running around all these years too

It’s been constantly putting pressure on me, it’s only now that I could relax a bit, I have done most I could, now it’s time to reap in all the rewards

Smirking I slowly rose up from my mother’s lap, just as I did my mother too seemed to wake up, sitting up I could see my mother slowly opening her eyes, she slowly stretched her body giving me a nice view of her breasts perking up within her dress

“Oh?, did you wake up Austy?”

“I just woke up now mother, your thighs were the perfect pillow, it was a great sleep”

“Hee..heee looks like you really have gotten better with your words, I pity the girls that falls under your words”

I could only scratch my head in ’embarrassment’, seeing my embarrassed look, my mother smiled

“Oh~~, could it be that my son didn’t meet anybody like able during his travels?”

“Don’t tease me mother, how could any of those girls I meet compare to my mother?”

“Ay~~ay your really ae honeying up your mother, could it be that you need something?”

“I don’t need anything mother, just being here back home with you is more than enough for me, plus I got you a gift too”

Hearing that I had a gift for her, my mother raised her eyebrow in intrigue, seeing that I quickly pulled a necklace out from my storage ring

A beautiful gold colored necklace appeared on my hand, It had a red stone embedded in it’s centre giving off a calming vibe, it had beautiful designs surrounding it making it more appealing

As soon as the necklace came out into the open, the mana in the room became more vigorous, both me and my mother started feeling more relaxed, as my mother focused on the ring a gasp of astonishment left her mouth

“Ha!, is that the calming necklace of the sea Niphteal?”

My mother’s words were laced with disbelief, after all the necklace in my hands is said to be missing for a long time, Niphteal a necklace that belonged to the great merchant queen, said to be gifted to her by the king of the sea

It was said that the necklace would make the wearer more relaxed and healthy, not only that, it would also help the wearer to absorb purer mana, at the same time it would constantly replenish your lost mana too

As if adding icing to the cake, it would also make the wearer more beautiful, making them younger, it was something that every women in the world desired but it was said that the necklace was lost in the sea when the merchant queen died in the sea

“It’s the real one mother”

“wha-?, how??”

Seeing the cute confused look on my mothers face was indeed a treat, just when more question were heading my way, I placed a finger on her lips

“shheeeh, mother you don’t have to worry, I got this legally, as for how I got it, that’s a secret”

Seeing me being secretive my mother pouted

‘Damn!, mother how can you act so cute?’

I was almost tempted to give her a peck in her lips, pushing down my urges, I placed the necklace on my mother’s hands

“Take it mother”

“No!, how could I?, this is something you found, take it with you maybe you could trade it for money or give it to your future girlfriend”

Saying so she tried to push the necklace back to me, I shook my head and passed it back to her, I spoke sternly

“No mother it’s a gift from me to you, are you unwilling go accept my gift?”

“But this is too much”

Shaking my head I placed my hand on her face causing her to look up to me, I slowly stroked her face with a serious expression

“Mother don’t you also deserve happiness?”

“What!?”

“Sigh….mother ever since father died you always looked after us, even before you could grieve the huge weight of the Dukedom was placed on your soldiers”

“But even then you didn’t give up, you looked after us with all your heart, you always held up the sky for us, you had sacrificed your happiness for us”

What I was saying was not just blabbering, I had seen how this women had painfully did everything, for a women who a princess that solved everything through strenght and power, the duties of the Dukedom was not easy to handle

I could still remember how she worked tirelessly, sometimes forgetting to eat, yet even then she smiled and played with us, this women in front of me is someone strong

“Mother in this world I think you are the one most required to have happiness, we have all grown up mother, you don’t have to face it all alone, I-no we are all there with you”

“So please be happy mother”

There was a shocked look on her face before tears started to fall

“Wha?-How, why is tear-“

Due to her shock Grace became unable to say anything, seeing that I pulled her into my embrace, causing her to cry into it, I slowly patted her back, at the same time I gave her a small kiss on her forehead

“You don’t need to be tough all the time anymore, at least to me you can always show your weak side mother”
