19. No Exceptions!
When Celes was born, Reina had had a similar reaction, but it was never this severe. Reina wanted to get up from the bed, but found that her entire body was momentarily paralyzed.
“Mom!”
Celes turned around and shouted towards the door.
“Boom!”
Hearing the little dragon’s cry, Calysia flew out of the kitchen, even crashing through a wall. Two seconds later, the debris on her body was dispelled by magic and left outside the bedchamber, and she stood beside Reina.
“Little Cal… Mama, Little Cal.”
Reina, this time, firmly held back her tears, but the unease in her belly made her face helpless, so she could only squeeze Calysia’s outstretched hand.
Celes glanced at Mother Calysia, and imitating her, she pressed her entire body against the other’s forearm.
“Breathe… in…”
Fortunately, this and the paralysis quickly ended.
Reina had thought that she was going to give birth to both Agnes and Light today.
“I’m fine!”
Reina said, tears streaming down her face. Calysia had already placed her hand on her swollen belly. According to experience, if Reina said she was fine, then leaving like this would surely make her feel more wronged.
Her body gradually recovered over time. Reina, panting, slowly straightened her back and sat up. At this moment, all her magic was unusable.
“Rest at home. I’ll cook and do the housework for you for the next few days.”
“No.”
Reina frowned and said:
“I’ll do what I said. Celes hasn’t had enough fun yet!”
She looked at the little dragon on her:
“Right, Celes?”
“Mmph…?”
Celes fell into thought. She looked at Calysia, then at Reina.
She had actually forgotten.
“Celes wants to sleep!”
This little one…
Did she have some special ability? She could actually consider others’ feelings now. For a moment, Reina felt that little Celes wasn’t a one-month-old dragon, but a mature young dragon.
“Celes wants to go outside and play.”
“Celes wants to become a half-dragon!”
“Is that so?”
Reina was enlightened, and then she suddenly patted her head and said with a smile:
“You can’t even fly yet. Why are you thinking so far ahead~”
“Then Celes will learn to fly!”
“Celes is worried about you,” Calysia said with a smile.
“Mom, Celes is not angry anymore. Celes wants Mama to be a dummy.”
For a moment, Reina didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
So, under the joint persuasion of the two, Reina had no choice but to give up her decision to go out.
The only regret was that she hadn’t wronged Celes.
To make her learn to read people’s expressions at such a young age, she must never make this mistake again.
After dinner, Reina pulled Calysia and Celes to the bedchamber in advance.
“Mommy?”
Celes lay on Reina’s chest expectantly, thinking she was going to be fed early.
Calysia thought so too. She also transformed into a 140-centimeter-long little silver dragon and lay on Reina’s lap.
Reina patted Celes’s head and knocked on Calysia’s head:
“Reina, what… it’s story time now. Why are you lying here!”
“Mmph…”
Calysia shook her head: “I’m not like milk~”
Reina sighed. If it were feeding time, Calysia would definitely become more aggressive.
—Damn Little Cal, don’t you see you’re already level 200? Are you a dragon who needs to develop?!
She just wants to take advantage of me!
“Awoo, it’s story time now.”
“Story time?” Celes heard a new word.
“Yes.”
Reina had no choice but to nod: “I’ll tell you the stories one by one. You just be the book.”
“Is there milk to drink after listening?”
Calysia opened her mouth nervously.
“No.”
“I want to drink…”
Celes flapped her wings.
“Celes can drink~” Reina said to Celes with a smile.
“Why can’t I? Little Reina, I’m so wronged.”
Calysia looked sad, her head lowered.
“Dummy…”
To prevent Little Cal from feeling that she was being treated differently, Reina compromised.
For a moment, Reina was a little confused. She clearly had Celes now, but in the end, it was Calysia who drank the most milk!
Anyway, just treat Calysia as a child.
Just get used to it in advance…
Reina cleared her throat and began to tell a story to the two of them.
“Once upon a time, there was an obedient and sensible little girl who went to visit her grandmother. But she had to go through a gloomy forest. On the way, she met a big gray wolf…”
Halfway through, Celes tilted her head:
“Mom, I’ve heard this.”
“You’ve heard it?”
Reina was surprised. She remembered that she hadn’t told the little dragon this story in the past two months.
Or rather, she didn’t have the habit of telling bedtime stories.
“Yes,” Celes nodded.
“You told it five months ago.”
“Five months ago?!”
For a moment, Reina was a little confused. Wasn’t Celes still a dragon egg at that time?
She looked at the little dragon with incredulous eyes: “You still remember those things?”
“Yes!”
Celes nodded, looking proud again.
“The rest of the story is that the little girl disguised herself and ran away from the giant wolf!”
“Indeed…”
“Impossible…”
Even if Celes had been conscious at that time, it was impossible for her to remember so clearly.
Reina glanced at Calysia, and the latter shook her head. Of course, this adult dragon, who was waiting to be fed, had never told a similar story.
So, Reina chose a sweeter little story. When it was time, she waited for Celes to fall asleep soundly with her (Mama~) in her mouth. When the (mmph~) sucking sound gradually became softer, Reina gave Calysia a look.
The latter moved closer to Reina.
And also rested her head on her chest.
“Dummy!” “No, I didn’t stop. My other (sob, sob~) was also sucked by Little Cal, and only then did the latter realize that that wasn’t what Reina meant, and looked up. “I want to tell you something. Mmph, if you want to drink, then… I’ll tell you while you eat.”
“Little Reina is so good to me.”
“Be quiet, don’t wake up Little Celes.”
“Okay~”
“Calysia, you say, our Celes, is she a little… too strong?”
“Her intelligence is impeccable, and she can even understand others’ feelings. She even learned to speak in a very short time. I’m sure she’ll know how to fly in a month.”
“But that’s not the point.”
“Because Reina was incubating the egg before and was always singing to the dragon egg, the little dragon will be like this. I can guarantee it.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, Celes is very talented. After all, your contribution is also greater. Without you, this good mother, how could she be as gentle as you? So, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. Some things are just as they should be, just go with the flow.”
“Okay.”
“Of course, the fact that Celes was conscious in the dragon egg long ago might be because her [authority] is at work.”
“So…”
A god can actually give birth to a child with authority?!
Is this the reason why she can understand this world so quickly?
“Compared to authority, little Reina is more important,” Calysia licked Reina’s belly.
“Mmph…”
Although she was very shy, she admitted that she was moved by Calysia’s words.
This time, she would reward her with the same treatment as Celes. No exceptions
