164. The Bathhouse
In November of the tenth year of the Eternal Night Era.
The world seemed to have adapted to the days without the sun, the days when humans and demons coexisted, and everything was running in an orderly manner.
On a beautiful day, without any worries or concerns, she would flirt with her wife and live a carefree life.
…If Elena hadn’t thrown the soap directly at Reina.
“Elena, I’ve already told you not to just take out the soap. It’s a decoration!” Angelis said.
She had tied up her beautiful long silver hair, and her petite body shimmered with a charming luster.
The bathhouse was filled with steam and a lively atmosphere.
Pesa was with Angelis, and wherever her older sister went, she went. She was also in full support of “capturing” the naughty Elena.
At this moment, Mura was clinging to Sophia by the pool, and it was unknown what interesting little secret they were discussing.
Suddenly, Elena ran in front of the two, sank down, and hugged the two older sisters’ tails and thighs.
“Elena, come out. We won’t do anything to you. Just apologize to Mama,” Angelis said. Seeing no movement, she smiled awkwardly at Sophia and Mura.
Mura hugged her chest, covering the important parts, and said with a hehe smile, “Isn’t Sister Angelis being a little too strict? Shouldn’t a child be a little naughty?”
“So that’s how it is… I should pay attention to that.”
Angelis patted her forehead.
Celes was in a corner with her eyes closed, recuperating. She had just experienced a battle, and now she needed a good rest.
However, when Elena suddenly poked her head out of the water and looked at Angelis with her gem-like eyes,
the latter extended her hand, and just as she helped her up, Elena suddenly used the brief gap to hug Angelis’s tail.
“Hehe, sister, I won!”
“You…”
Angelis’s face darkened.
The huge bathhouse instantly turned into a chaotic mess, and little did they know that this was the current daily life of the Dragon King’s Palace.
For Reina, the air was filled with the scent of her children, which was simply too blissful.
A few years ago, this place was an uninhabited area that had to be cleaned every day. When Calysia and Reina came here to bathe, it would be a little empty, and sometimes they would use other smaller bathhouses… if it weren’t for the children.
“Who does Reina think has developed the best?”
Calysia said with a smile, while tidying her silk-like long silver hair.
“What a strange topic! Master, you…”
Reina’s tail was touched by her, and the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.
“Of course, you have to know if your own child is developing well. Don’t look at the little dragons’ dragon bodies not being long now, but their half-dragon form development is quite good.”
“I didn’t know the little dragons would mature so quickly…” Reina sank into the water.
“Maybe Reina is more nutritious.”
“Mommy is indeed delicious…” Suddenly, Aurora, who had been watching from the side, said cautiously.
As if her presence had completely disappeared, Aurora was clearly right beside Reina, but it was easy to accidentally forget her.
“I used to be… and now I’m still drinking Mama’s milk…”
Seeing Aurora blush, Reina even had the idea of erasing Aurora’s memory.
“I see Mama as a friend, and Mama sees me as a daughter.”
“Ahhh—Aurora, don’t say any more!”
How could she say such shameful things with a straight face?
Calysia also smiled gently: “I’m really afraid that Reina will turn me into a daughter one day~”
“Aren’t you already my daughter?” Reina glared at her.
“Anyway, you’re not missing your share…”
“Didn’t Reina let me eat?”
“What a joke! Of course… of course it’s to make Master healthy… not like me.”
Aurora’s small eyes twinkled like stars:
“Could it be that Mommy is doing this for Mother?”
“Nonsense!”
“No, that’s not right… ahhh, in short… a bunch of dummies.”
Reina was almost angered to the point of sinking into the water again. Then, remembering her determination to become virtuous and good-natured, she came back.
“Little Cal, you’re just ganging up with your daughter to make me angry!”
Reina pretended to cough.
“If we’re talking about it, Celes and Mura are quite amazing now…”
“I think Sophia and Aurora’s foundations are also not bad. From a dragon’s aesthetic point of view, Aurora’s tail seems to be second only to yours.”
Aurora, who was still eavesdropping, turned her head away with some embarrassment.
“Anyway, Reina is still the most beautiful~”
“You’re really going to emphasize that, aren’t you? I’m already tired of it. Tell me, what does Master want to do today? Although it’s not very good to say these things in front of Aurora, but anyway, she’ll know sooner or later, and Reina doesn’t care either.”
“By the way, I’ll supplement your magic tonight.”
“Really?” Are you sure it’s not to satisfy Master’s aggressive desires?
“Really, how could I lie to little Reina?”
Reina was still thinking of ways to respond to Calysia’s “good intentions,” but suddenly felt the water temperature turn cold.
The heating magic stone under the bathhouse would keep the water-like substance at a few hundred degrees, and the material of the entire bathhouse was also a stable material that was not flammable.
For the water temperature to suddenly drop, there was only one possibility…
Reina instantly saw Angelis, and suddenly, with a splash, Celes also floated out of the water.
“Guangying?”
Reina sank into the water and discovered that it was indeed so.
The sudden drop in water temperature could only be because Guangying had accidentally “fallen asleep.”
The pool temperature was too high, and Guangying’s whole body would go limp. Generally, a few hundred degrees of high temperature was nothing.
This was because Guangying herself liked to sleep, and every time she fell asleep, she would subconsciously open her mouth.
And then, just like the subconscious act of grinding her teeth, she would briefly use her dragon breath.
Pesa, sensing that Guangying had fallen asleep, immediately activated her [Elemental Control] authority, but because she had used too much force, she had directly made the pool temperature too high again.
Suddenly, Celes burrowed into the water and directly picked up the little Guangying who had sunk to the bottom. And the sleeping little dragon was still completely unaware, snoring softly.
“Pesa, let me take it from here,” Angelis floated in the air.
The children seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Until the matter was resolved, the water temperature completely returned to normal.
With Angelis’s order, besides Aurora, who was originally beside Reina, they stood in a row and bowed slightly to Reina and Calysia.
They said in unison:
“We’re sorry, Mama!”
Reina smiled mysteriously.
Wasn’t Angelis being a little too strict?
At night,
Reina had just finished tidying up the bedchamber when she suddenly remembered her notebook, which she hadn’t touched for a few days.
She suddenly noticed a hint of Aurora’s scent and traces on it. She opened it with excitement, and as expected, beautiful words were on the paper. This was Aurora’s notebook.
The edge of this page had a tear mark, as if someone wanted to destroy the evidence, but had hesitated…
“Hehe, what a cute Aurora.”
“It’s actually a farewell letter.”
