The Bungsu Princess Inferior

31. Let go

The night was late, the moon of the gods still shone with its light. I walked towards my room, feeling happy but tired more domineering. My mind was fixed on Varen, did my carelessness affect Varen as well? My words to Vio stated that I accepted Varen, meaning that at the moment Varen's status is my fiancee. What if he doesn't love me? What if I've blocked his happiness? What if she can't marry the person she loves because of me?

"Ouch! It hurts!" I half screamed in pain, rubbing my forehead that felt sore. As a result of being too focused on thinking, I even hit a pole in the hallway in front of my room.

"Oh my goodness, Your Majesty, let me see Your Majesty!" Sarala's foster mother ran from inside my room, directly checking the forehead that I had been holding. His aura was warm as he rubbed his right hand against my forehead, he healed my wound.

"Mother, I miss you so much!" I hugged her very tightly, the smell of mint emanating from the body of Asuh Sarala's mother, a soothing smell on my nose. "Hu.hu.hu...hu.... foster mother.." I cried sobbing in her arms, I remembered how Vivian and Edward treated me so well, she said, even the husband of Sarala's foster mother sacrificed his life for me.

"Your Majesty why are you crying?" Sarala's foster mother patted my back for a long time, trying to calm down. "Your Majesty, has anything disturbed His Majesty's mind?"

I let go of my embrace, took a deep breath trying to calm myself down, the foster mother wiped my tears with a handkerchief embroidered with golden sunflowers. I took the handkerchief from her and wiped my whole face, it felt like my heart was a little relieved after crying.

The foster mother led me into the room, the twenty maids saluted me and opened the door as I passed by.

"Sit down, Your Majesty," I sat in the living room of my room, while Mother Foster was seen rushing to pick up a tray containing a pot of drinking water and some snack cakes. Another servant closed my bedroom door, standing guard outside.

The foster mother poured the lotus flower tea into my cup, then handed it to me. He was still standing watching me when I received the cup from him, warm not too hot, I gulped it down a few times, swiftly the foster mother took the cup from my hand and put it back on the tray.

"Why are foster mothers still standing? Sit down foster mom, foster mom must be too tired waiting for me." I patted the empty chair beside me, without answering Sarala's foster mother sitting where I patted. He then grabbed both of my hands, rubbing them slowly.

"Congratulations Your Majesty, now His Majesty has officially become the heir of the Sun empire." Mother Foster looked into both my eyes, her eyes looking teary.

"Thank you foster mom, thank you for always being by my side all this time."

Sarala's Foster Mother seemed to be frowning, "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the servant to always accompany His Majesty, the servant has decided to devote himself to His Majesty since His Majesty was born."

"Then now is the time for the foster mother to free herself" I said, holding her hand. "Mother Foster, I've always had a great deal of attention and affection from you, but now there are people who need your presence more beside them."

"Nor Your Majesty, have you done anything wrong until Your Majesty was about to expel you?" Mother Foster looked agitated.

"Foster mother, it's time for foster mother to return to Vivian and Edward, they need the presence of a mother at this time, especially of course Vivian is pregnant, surely she needs foster mother beside her, he must need foster mother beside her, she must have wanted to learn a lot from foster mom, I know Vivian never asked but I'm sure she wanted you to be with her until she gave birth and raised your grandchildren, he would have been happier if the foster mother was next to him. Which child does not want the presence of the mother next to him when pregnant?"

Now the foster mother's eyes looked teary, "but what about His Majesty?"

I'm lucky to be surrounded by people who worry about me before they worry about themselves. I smiled again, "quiet that I'm grown, even have a fiancee." Unknowingly I said it as if it was something to boast about, I just wanted Sarala's foster mother to leave me feeling calm, without feeling guilty.

"What to worry about again? Now I have a knack for protecting myself, so foster mom doesn't have to worry. There's always Uncle Ezio on standby anyway, right?" I said while grinning to remember that since I have not greeted Uncle Ezio, his upset face tomorrow morning must be very adorable, suddenly I want to laugh out loud considering Uncle Ezio's face when I snatch, although he was a great general but when he craved his nature more like a child.

"Ehm.." I cleared my throat trying to refocus. "Wait whenever foster mothers want, the palace is always open for you." I opened my arms wide, Sarala's foster mother immediately hugged me tightly, she then kissed me on my forehead.

"A great blessing for my servant to accompany His Majesty until now, may His Majesty live a long and always be blessed," he kissed and embraced me again.

I stood with the foster mother, walked to the end of the room and made a portal. "Remember to visit as often as possible" I said, taking off my arm.

"Sure, Your Majesty. Don't sleep too late, come whenever Your Majesty wants, I'll always welcome Your Majesty."

I nodded, unable to speak any more if I let out another word, the tears I was holding would slide swiftly, but I held on with all my might, I want to let go of foster mother with a smile.

The foster mother entered the portal, before the portal swallowed her, she turned around and smiled at me, returning her warm smile. Heavy releasing someone who had always been by my side, especially after parting for quite a while and only today was reunited, but the chatter that I accidentally heard in the main hall of the grand banquet, was, makes me have to brace myself to let go of foster mom.

Just after I finished eating together, I briefly left my family for a breath of fresh air outside the main hall before heading back to the palace, but I never thought I would even hear the talk of foster mother and uncle Ezio, who were both in the middle of the house, uncle Ezio's words are still clear.

"Aren't you supposed to be back with Edward and Vivian? Vivian is pregnant and today is a very good day because the Moon of God shines brightly, she definitely needs the presence of her family to channel positive energy to the children she is carrying. You're his mother and the one he's carrying is your grandchildren, you're supposed to be with him, Sarala!"

Uncle Ezio's words had made the foster mother speechless but then the foster mother smiled and replied, "My daughter knows and understands that I have devoted myself to Her Highness Crown Princess Aira, it's my choice to stay by His Majesty's side."

That's when I decided to let go of Sarala's foster mother, all this time I've been selfish taking all the foster mother's affection for me alone, it's time for her to return to her family. Back to the people who should have been the top priority for him, not me. There will be many consequences that I have to face, I let out a long sigh, whatever it is, of course I have to be ready to face it.
