117. Future Prediction
After a brief test, Reina discovered something that shocked her greatly.
—Her body was now filled with Calysia’s magic power.
Soon, a new Dragon Mark would appear on her fair belly due to her pregnancy.
She was basically completely dominated by Calysia.
But due to the dragon race’s concept of love, and the fact that Calysia showed affection for her, she wasn’t directly taken to a dark room and forcefully infused with magic power to make her completely submissive, as Reina had imagined.
Calysia was a gentle mother dragon.
Then what was it that prevented Reina from completely becoming a vassal?
—The answer was the Light Clone.
Her Light Clone could transmit the collected light power to Reina at any time.
But this process was one-way.
The light power transmitted back to her main body was all corrupted, black and deep purple.
And the fact that the clone could collect that pure light proved that it had a “purification” function.
Simply put,
Calysia could corrupt the human named “Reina.”
But she couldn’t corrupt the Goddess of Light yet.
And her clone was probably closer to the Goddess of Light than to Calysia.
And her clone had been constantly transmitting subtle consciousness and information, allowing Reina to maintain her “superego” and clarity, instead of becoming a completely submissive vassal to Calysia.
…The reason she was pretending to be submissive now was all a compromise!
After all, Reina didn’t want to be as cold as the Goddess of Light.
Calysia deserved a good ending, and her smile was worth protecting at any cost.
And Reina realized that although her current situation seemed like a “bad ending,” it was still within an acceptable range.
First, she wasn’t corrupted.
It was just having a baby, who was afraid?
She could just run away after giving birth, right?
…Of course, that was easier said than done.
Reina still wanted to raise the child well.
Second, Reina’s progress in the human world also proved that this wasn’t a bad ending.
Lately, the Saintess seemed to have had an epiphany.
She made a decision that went against her ancestors’ traditions, deciding to befriend the dragon race and form a united front against the orcs—Reina had originally wanted to gently guide humanity and the dragon race closer, which would be convenient for her to rule.
But now, it was no longer necessary.
The Saintess had not only had an epiphany but also seemed to be using cheats.
She seemed to have already determined that Lei… Reina’s Light Clone… was the projection and incarnation of the Goddess of Light in the human world.
She had secretly granted Reina almost all authority. Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was the Saintess’s twin sister to have been given so many benefits.
If nothing unexpected happened, her clone could be promoted to “bishop” next month.
And judging by the Saintess’s intentions, she would probably eventually promote Reina to Cardinal, making her the most influential human besides the Saintess.
This actually seemed a bit redundant.
Reina knew how to quickly advance in the human world.
She could quickly become an important figure among humans, and before the end of the third year of the [Eternal Night Era], she would be a formidable force on the world stage, with everything at her fingertips.
And Reina had already overthrown the Dragon King.
In conclusion, her actual status in this world had already reached a height that normal protagonists couldn’t match. Even if she had no connection to humanity, it was still much better than the actual situation.
And she also had the blood race as her allies.
Wasn’t this a surefire victory?
Reina was in a good mood. She hummed a song and was about to go find Calysia in the office to chat about the baby.
At night, after numerous requests from Calysia, Reina finally agreed… she agreed to let Calysia only touch her upper body.
Reina originally wanted to refuse.
But at this point, it was too late to refuse Calysia.
She had to see the act through.
Anyway, it wasn’t the first time.
…It definitely wasn’t her pampering Calysia.
…
The next afternoon.
Just as Reina was about to instruct Calysia on how to clean the ceiling, the latter refused.
The reason was that the Dark Elf Queen had already negotiated the terms of a business cooperation with Liya and was about to leave the Dragon Realm, but before that, she insisted on seeing Reina.
Reina swore that if it were the old her, she would have been pleased.
Because she also had many things to tell the Dark Elf Queen.
But thinking about her pregnancy, she didn’t really want to go out.
It wasn’t healthy for the baby.
“I’ll go in your place,” Calysia said. “And you’re the Dragon Queen, you can ask me to attend on your behalf.”
Reina was pleased.
She suddenly understood the benefits of having someone to help her solve her problems.
But Reina still shook her head:
“Little Cal, she’s a rational and shrewd queen. If she really wants to see me, it must be for something important. It’s better if I go,”
Then she blushed and said: “You just need to protect me.”
Calysia didn’t refuse.
The two agreed to meet in the reception hall outside the Dragon King’s Palace. During the meeting, Reina noticed that the number of Azure Scale Knights had increased significantly—this was Azure Dragon’s own initiative, having the Azure Scale Knights work extra shifts to guard the Dragon King’s Palace for dozens of days after the wedding.
The Dark Elf Queen had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
She was still wearing the solemn black robe from the wedding, but through her clothes, one could see her full figure and mature, tall build.
As for Reina, she was wearing the Divine Sea Pearl, which was considered formal dragon attire.
When the Dark Elf Queen saw Reina, she still had that mysterious smile on her face.
“Should I call you Azure Scale, or Dragon Queen?”
“As you wish.”
Reina showed a professional smile.
Unlike her conversation with Sophia, the Dark Elf Queen maintained a more cautious distance from her.
And the creator of this distance was mostly Reina herself.
—She was practically the strongest magician in the world, and also a proficient user of forbidden magic.
The Dragon King disliked forbidden magic.
And Reina had also come to despise forbidden magic.
But this dark elf didn’t seem to care about her pregnancy at all, which made Reina feel a lot more at ease—she had thought many people could tell.
After some pleasantries, the Dark Elf Queen smiled:
“Miss Dragon Queen, thank you very much for meeting with me. I sought you out specifically to tell you something after I predicted the future.”
Reina froze.
Predicting the future was also forbidden magic.
It was a magic that seemed to require a [price] to see the possible future development of something related to the caster. And whether it pointed to the correct thing, and how much of the future could be seen, depended entirely on the magician’s skill.
The Dark Elf Queen was very skilled.
She chuckled softly:
“Hehe, don’t look at me with such frightening eyes. I wouldn’t trade my life for forbidden magic.”
“I came here just to tell you…”
“I’ve predicted your future, Miss Dragon Queen.”
“Do you want to know what I saw?”
