115. Invisible Bond
After getting pregnant, Reina felt some changes in her body.
She would subconsciously start to avoid danger, and her body became very sensitive to any changes in surface temperature.
Just now, Reina really wanted to just pounce on Calysia and finish her off.
But when she noticed the significant difference between the temperature outside and inside the bed, she instantly dismissed the idea of rushing out.
At the same time, Reina found it hard to imagine how to defeat Calysia.
She was terrified of Calysia’s tragic fate, as if she were the one who was injured, not Calysia.
It was as if an invisible bond had formed between them.
Therefore, Reina realized that what was changing wasn’t her body, but her way of thinking.
Reina wanted to resist this way of thinking, but she was already pregnant with a dragon offspring.
Was there any point anymore?
…No.
She still had her own consciousness.
Unlike a completely submissive maid or a corrupted, blackened vassal, who would become a blackened dragon girl completely controlled by Calysia’s will,
She still had her own values, she was still trying to be human, and her stance was still firmly with humanity!
The fact that she didn’t immediately accept the child upon waking up and felt a sense of resistance was the best proof.
Reina still didn’t understand why she hadn’t been corrupted yet.
She felt fine.
She had to make use of it.
Just then, Reina remembered what Calysia had said in Wood Village.
“Submit.”
“I’ll submit to her a roasted meat ice cream!”
Reina blurted out, clenching her small fists, almost pushing Calysia, who was lying beside her, off the bed. Before she realized it, she pulled Calysia back into an embrace. Then she complained softly:
“Mmph, be a little more stable, you’re not even warming the bed properly.”
“I’m sorry~”
“That’s so perfunctory!”
Reina originally wanted to continue being angry, but she was afraid of affecting the baby and immediately calmed down, trying to be a little more good-tempered.
It was already 11 AM.
Reina didn’t want to get out of bed, not because she was too tired—strictly speaking, although dragons had the desire to sleep, they didn’t actually need much sleep, especially for high-ranking demons. With their physical constitution, as long as they hadn’t experienced any strenuous activity, they wouldn’t feel tired.
She hadn’t adapted to her strange belly yet, so she had no intention of leaving the bed.
It was as if something existed within her, combined with her genes, gently caressing some part of her from within her pink womb. Her body might adapt quickly, but psychologically, it was still very difficult to accept.
What was most difficult to accept was that Reina couldn’t stand being alone.
She really disliked this feeling of loneliness, and it made her wonder, why did she, the dignified Azure Scale, have to suffer this grievance?
But for her own sake, she still pulled Calysia closer.
It was a little warmer with two people together.
She didn’t need any entertainment, just being snuggled up in the warm bed was enough.
She leaned against Calysia, the latter’s tail wrapped around her waist… This was Reina’s own request, because having something pressed against her belly made her feel secure.
But she quickly felt that this wasn’t right.
Wasn’t this just letting Calysia take advantage of her?
This person’s mind was always on her body.
And she wasn’t really that free.
Since she couldn’t work, Calysia had to take over her work, which was a considerable workload.
Even though the wedding had just been held, the turmoil in this world hadn’t subsided.
“You don’t have to stay with me. You have many things to do, right?”
Reina said.
Hearing this, Calysia obediently unwound her tail from Reina’s waist.
—This was one of the reasons why Reina wasn’t so angry.
Since getting pregnant, Calysia had become a completely obedient little dragon.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she controlled the Dragon King.
Watching Calysia nod and leave the bedchamber, for a moment, Reina felt that her plan was very successful—she had indeed achieved a certain degree of “managing Calysia.”
Wasn’t the Dragon Realm practically under her complete control now?
And there was another good thing about being pregnant with a dragon egg.
—Even if Calysia later discovered that she wasn’t the protagonist, she couldn’t possibly turn against her or even attack her.
An eternal ally.
If she still viewed this as the game world from before, it was as if Reina had obtained a “max trust” partner—the world’s strongest being, Calysia, who excelled in both combat and leadership, a great help in clearing the game.
But the problem was—this wasn’t a game world at all!
It was a real world, with real emotional interactions.
And what was the price for obtaining the strongest “partner”?
She was pregnant with Calysia’s offspring!
…
As Reina thought about this, a sense of helplessness washed over her again. And Calysia had already left the bedchamber, presumably to prepare lunch.
“Dummy, why did you leave…”
Reina’s eyes welled up with aggrieved tears again. She knew that she would have to spend the rest of the lonely time alone in bed, and the woman who had made her this way wasn’t by her side.
No.
Who needed that person?!
Couldn’t she live without Calysia?
Reina was enlightened and suddenly felt stronger.
And just then, Calysia’s head peeked through the door of the bedchamber.
—She had returned.
“Dummy, why are you back again?!”
Reina’s tears, which she had been trying to hold back, started to fall again, and her voice became soft and mushy, losing its previous sharpness.
Calysia said with some shame:
“I just… couldn’t leave my wife here alone…”
“I’m fine on my own.”
To prove that she was fine, Reina threw off the warm quilt, and in her fair jade-like body, changed into the folded maid uniform. Then, she walked off the bed in her white stockings, but unexpectedly, the emptiness in her belly made her feel extremely disoriented. Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell.
At the critical moment, Calysia instantly appeared before her and caught her in her arms.
“Be careful~”
“I don’t need your help!”
Reina’s stern voice was tinged with sobs and tremors.
Her heart had taken a severe blow.
A few days ago, she was a strong dragon who could fly to the heavens and dive to the earth. Now, she was a pregnant dragon who couldn’t even stand steadily!
If it weren’t for Calysia’s timely intervention, her current “uninjured” record would have been ended by the floor.
But in the end, it was still Calysia’s fault.
If you wanted to get me pregnant so badly, why didn’t you just get pregnant yourself?
Did you have to turn me into a weak and helpless dragon girl?
Good, she’s satisfied now! She just likes to make me cry!
Damn it…
No…
Reina’s eyes widened, discovering the most serious problem.
—I’m not a dragon girl at all!
