119. The Purpose
Before leaving, Calysia had instructed the Twelve Great Dragons to help and, after gaining Lekadis’s approval, to continue their “surveillance.”
However, since that afternoon, their information on campus had disappeared.
“It’s not Lekadis at all. We’ve entered another space.”
“Yes, this time we can confirm it. The deduction is completely correct.”
“I’ve also confirmed on my end that Sophia’s soul is incomplete. A part of it is missing.”
“The missing part, did it form her in the illusion?”
“It seems so.”
Calysia looked at Reina. She knew what this meant.
“The eroded soul is still in the real world, and the uneroded part has been sent to that world.”
“Yes.”
Saying that, they both fell silent.
Everyone knew what this meant.
The controlled soul not being absorbed was good news, but being connected to other souls and imprisoned in another world was a nightmare.
This meant that Aurora’s ability might be able to directly affect the soul.
And although Reina was confident that she wouldn’t fall into Aurora’s trap, the current her couldn’t possibly say what she had said when she had been sealed by the Four Kings of the Realms.
It was impossible to be indifferent.
She still had a few little dragons waiting for her at home, and Calysia treated her as the apple of her eye.
“Let’s just give up this time, Reina. You can’t bear the responsibility for what happens to Lekadis. The weak must have the awareness of the weak.”
“Now, in less than ten years, forbidden magic will disappear. This is Aurora’s last struggle. If we insist on fighting on the opponent’s home ground… it might not be worth the loss.”
“That space is basically her domain.”
“In other words, if she wants to, the entire space can be dominated by her, and at that time, all the souls she has captured will be her energy.”
Reina lowered her head, not because Calysia was a little emotional and venting her illogical thoughts.
It was precisely because what Calysia had said was the absolute truth.
Was this risk worth taking?
“Mmm, I promise you, Calysia. I won’t go this time.”
“It’s still early. I should be responsible for you and the children. I’m sorry.”
Reina didn’t believe that anyone else could defeat Aurora in her own domain and space, on the opponent’s home ground.
“Not really… I might just be a little too worried.”
“It’s okay, Little Cal.”
She hugged Calysia.
But if being a good leader, a good principal, came at the cost of the worry and grief of Calysia and the children, then, while Lekadis had not yet been truly attacked, Reina would never abandon her children and wife.
Nothing was more important than her wife and children.
And besides, there was still too little information now.
————
After promising Calysia, Reina almost returned to her normal life.
Waking up in the morning, breastfeeding, having breakfast with Calysia, cleaning a little, going to check on Sophia, and then, holding the dragon egg, staying by the side of the busy Calysia. After breastfeeding at noon, she would take a short nap with Calysia. In the afternoon, she would continue to help Calysia according to the situation, or perfect her own books, or help Calysia take care of the children…
Besides that, the rest of the time was basically spent incubating the egg.
Sophia’s situation had been very stable. After all, it was the part of her soul that was dominated by Reina. If Reina wanted to, this part could quickly complete a process similar to vassalization.
Celes no longer went to school, but lived in the Dragon King’s Palace and was guided by Calysia.
In the school in the Silver Dragon Airspace, there were still many dragons who were unwilling to go to Lekadis to study, and Celes was also willing to compete with them.
Guangying and Angelis had no interest in fighting. They were still far from their weaning period, and currently, they only liked housework.
As for Mura.
Besides “clinging” to Reina like the former Celes, what she liked most was following behind Celes. Whatever Celes did, she would learn.
As time passed, her height also reached 160 centimeters. Reina had a premonition that she might grow into a “giant” with particularly distinct dragon features, like Dragon Slayer.
So, Reina would also occasionally teach her how to control her body.
This kind of life lasted for another two weeks.
What was gratifying was that the current Mura could basically hide all her dragon features, and her half-dragonization was proceeding smoothly, except for the translucent scales on her thighs and arms… However, this was also considered Mura’s cute point.
“Mommy is so small!”
Mura lay on Reina’s back. Now, if she wanted to, she could become a 55-meter-long dragon, even surpassing all her older sisters.
And what she liked most was to become a size that could just fit into the bedchamber, wait for her mommy to come back, and lick her wings with her mouth.
“Don’t be naughty for a while, okay? When Mother Calysia comes back, we’ll start story time~”
“Hehe, what are Mother and the older sisters doing?”
Reina glanced in the direction of the door, at the plaza. It was clearly the three sisters taking turns challenging Calysia… The three dragon whelps, whether they used their authority or ganged up on her, couldn’t touch Calysia at all.
“They’ll be back soon.”
“Why isn’t Mommy going?”
“Isn’t she incubating the egg? And besides, Mommy is the worst at fighting~”
Reina caressed Mura’s head and said with a smile:
“And besides, there are no dragons now who can defeat Sister Celes.”
“Not even in Lekadis?”
“…”
If Mura hadn’t mentioned this, Reina would have almost forgotten about it.
Celes no longer went to Lekadis.
Aurora’s authority, the gradually disappearing power of [Soul Grudge], Aurora, who could no longer exist by relying on her authority, would eventually be defeated.
The longer it went on, every time Reina thought about the previous Lekadis incident, she felt that something was not right.
—If her purpose was just to wait for the rabbit to hit the tree, it could barely be explained.
But if this continued, until forbidden magic completely disappeared, her ending would still only be “destroying Lekadis” or death.
Reina had originally wanted to temporarily abandon Lekadis school, but that would undoubtedly be falling into an even bigger trap.
And the result was that Lekadis had not been attacked at all.
At night, after talking with Calysia, she thought for a long time.
In the end, she still decided to go to Lekadis and take a look.
However, this time, it wasn’t through the world connected by the portal, but directly as the principal to the school.
The classroom where Sophia had had her accident was now completely sealed.
Reina had the authority to enter that school building.
Arriving at the door of that classroom, Reina didn’t find anything abnormal. It was just as usual…
“Reina, did you find anything this time?”
Calysia was also releasing her perception power at the same time, but like Reina, she couldn’t see any clues.
Reina lowered her head, then looked up, looking at Calysia with a surprised expression:
“Little Cal, if you were Aurora, what would you do now?”
“Hmm? I don’t understand…”
“I mean, when Aurora is at her wit’s end, what would she choose to do?”
