96. Mura’s Flaw
Reina originally thought that to understand the truth of the world, she would even need to go to some mysterious ruins and dungeons to explore, defeat Aurora, and figure out the truth.
And in fact, Reina had learned nearly eighty percent of the truth just from the letter.
It was quite interesting.
Ever since she had started raising children, everything seemed to have become simpler. Some things wouldn’t happen as she had imagined.
Simply put,
The predecessor of the Goddess of Light was a human. There was no god. No one knew where she came from, but when she appeared in the public eye, it was during the period of the Shadow of God.
There was a disagreement among the decision-makers, and she was the one who stood up to stop the disagreement.
Then, that disagreement was successfully resolved, and after that, the Goddess of Light naturally got more opportunities.
By the time she became the leader of the Shadow of God, and even a god, looking back, she was already alone.
It seemed that everything had started because of Reina, and now it had ended because of her.
Sophia was her most devout demon king.
And the Dragon King had no particular opinion on the Goddess of Light’s actions. The other demons’ emotions towards the Goddess of Light were all hatred.
Sophia had made many mistakes.
In her letter, she wrote that she hadn’t succeeded in making the blood race believe in the goddess and washing away her so-called slander, which was absolutely impossible.
The second point was that she had “forgotten” the agreement.
The blood race had been cursed to extinction by Aurora, and to ask the Goddess of Light to help her, there was a so-called agreement.
The content of the agreement was that the Goddess of Light would use her to quell the chaos, and she would also, at this moment, use the “Blood King’s Bone” to become a powerful existence and support the Goddess of Light.
Sophia blamed herself for Reina being bound by the ritual and imprisoned, heartbroken.
Of course…
Strictly speaking, she had just not remembered.
Sophia, ever since she had retired and gone into hiding, had erased all her memories. The current her was the Blood Queen of the past.
“How on earth do I comfort this little dummy?”
Reina muttered.
“Mama, get up~ what are you saying again?” Angelis was already supporting one of Reina’s arms. Because her movements were too light, Reina didn’t even realize that she was being “moved.”
Guangying helped Reina wipe her mouth. Waiting for Reina to move her little mouth, she also supported Reina’s other side after she had moved. The three of them walked to the wardrobe.
Reina changed into a loose pink dress. She rarely tried this color, but lately, she didn’t have to go out for anything, so she could try various clothes.
Walking to the training ground on the south side of the garden, two rays of light collided with each other. In a flash of lightning, there were several magical clashes. If you looked closely, you could see Celes fighting with another silver dragon with smooth and powerful movements.
Her cute little mouth spewed out a scorching dragon breath, and just before it touched the dome of the sky, it completely disappeared, neutralized by Reina’s barrier.
A few seconds later, the battle was over. Celes spun her body in the air like a dancer, landed gracefully, and retracted her wings and tail, as if she had just performed a dance.
Celes flew to Reina’s side and pounced on her front.
“Celes…!”
“Mama is so soft~”
Leaving aside how many times Celes would nuzzle against her…
Her chest had already developed a little, and now she was almost the size of an adult dragon, so it would be a little crowded.
“Celes, you’re so big.”
“Hehehe~ Mama’s scent.”
“Isn’t there another mama over there?”
“I’ve had enough of that one. There’s more here~”
She didn’t know who she had inherited it from.
Being surrounded by her daughters and squeezed together, Reina’s eyes shifted to Calysia, who was not far away.
She looked up, extended her hand, and caressed a dragon lying on the ground.
That dragon was emerald green. Although she was somewhat similar to that Green Dragon, the patterns on her scales were more beautiful—she was still the less-than-a-year-old Mura.
Mura’s body length was already nearly five meters, and she was the fastest-growing dragon of her age group, even surpassing Celes.
But unfortunately.
The current Mura had not yet learned how to transform into a half-dragon…
“Ma!”
Seeing that the other sisters had already left Reina and given her a spot, she flew to Reina’s side and excitedly burrowed into her arms.
—She quickly shrank in the air while flying, becoming the size she had been after she was born.
She began to purr like a kitten.
“If it weren’t for you, the current Mura would be in a difficult situation. She probably wouldn’t even be able to sleep in a bed.”
Calysia chuckled wryly and also walked to Reina’s side.
Although an ordinary dragon whelp would take several years to learn how to become a half-dragon, Mura was different.
First of all, she was Reina’s child. When she had grown to a five-meter-long dragon, she should have understood the skill of half-dragonization like her older sisters.
And now, Reina was not just worried about her slow development.
Mura’s growth trajectory was very consistent with the dragons of the Primordial Era.
Their bodies were huge, and their tails and wings were also stronger than the current dragons. During their growth period, they would undergo great changes in just a few months.
The only drawback was that they couldn’t half-dragonize.
And Mura had all of the above characteristics.
She seemed to be a dragon species from the Primordial Era. Reina didn’t know why this was happening.
“Mura…”
“Ma-mua~.”
Mura didn’t seem to care at all. She was already very satisfied just being petted by Reina.
But Reina would still take two hours every day to teach her how to become a real half-dragon.
Simply put, she would transform into her dragon form and lie on the open ground with Mura.
Reina would teach Mura how to feel this body until she had complete control. This was a method usually used to train other children. And Mura was a dragon who hadn’t made any progress in several months of training.
“Why, M-ma, do you want to turn me into a half-dragon so much?”
Mura said in a somewhat halting voice.
“It will be easier,” Reina replied.
Actually, she wasn’t concerned about whether her family had any flaws.
She was more concerned about Mura’s future.
Mura, who couldn’t transform into a half-dragon, would sooner or later be treated as an outcast. And if she were sent to school, this phenomenon would become even more obvious and even become a lifelong stain that she could never forget.
Mura was very confused. She didn’t know at all why her mother was so concerned.
Because even if she couldn’t become the same body as her older sisters, she could still act spoiled, drink milk, talk, and even learn knowledge. She definitely wouldn’t be worse than her older sisters.
“Mama used to be a great sage of the dragon race,” Reina gave Mura a confident look.
“Great Sage?”
“Yes, I once taught the dragon race how to become half-dragons, and I can teach you now.”
