6. Dummy
A week later.
Celes’s body had undergone some obvious growth.
Her scales had become more complete and lustrous, and her body had grown a full circle.
That was because Reina would feed her a large amount of nutrients every day. Dragon milk, compared to milk from the human world and general dairy products, was hundreds of times more nutritious. Even for an adult dragon, it was an absolute “tonic,” let alone for a small dragon in urgent need of nutrition.
Reina roughly calculated that she could now supply milk for five Celeses a day.
Or, for two Celeses and one Calysia.
Conclusion.
One Calysia equals three Celeses!
That’s right…
Calysia would often, while Reina was asleep, secretly disguise herself as a dragon whelp. This perverted behavior could even be engraved on a pillar of shame!
She would occasionally just pretend to roll to Reina’s side, but in fact, she had long been eyeing those nutrients.
“Master, aren’t you ashamed of drinking my milk like this? You’re the Dragon King, you have to be a good example for Celes. She might even replace you as the Dragon King in the future.”
Reina held Celes with one hand and pulled Calysia’s cheek with the other.
They were enjoying lunch, and this table was all personally made by Reina.
As long as she wasn’t incubating the egg, and holding the little dragon, she could move around freely, and even cook and clean, which was also a way to share the labor with Calysia.
As for the Light Clone, it was already unusable because the two voracious babies, Light and Agnes, had eaten all her magic power. The current Reina was a truly weak woman who would fall over at the slightest touch, and she hadn’t even left the house in recent days.
Being kneaded by Reina, Calysia pretended to be in great pain and said with a dissatisfied expression:
“Goddess of Light, you must have been very shy when I captured you, right?”
She rolled up some eggs with meat sauce and fed them to Reina’s mouth, as if at this moment she were a diligent and thrifty maid.
Watching Reina taste the food she had made without any complaints, Calysia’s heart warmed.
As expected, just as Reina had said.
The reincarnation had changed many things.
“What are you talking about…” Reina’s whole body was a little hot.
“There’s no goddess now. I… I’m your wife. Don’t always talk about the past… dummy.”
“Dummy~!”
Celes caught the word and shouted it out.
She climbed up Reina’s shoulder and pressed her cheek against Reina’s neck.
Although from some angles, Celes was already very mature, her language skills were basically limited to simple words, so much so that she couldn’t form a complete sentence at all.
“Reina, Mama, dummy!”
“How could Mama be a dummy?”
Although it wasn’t the first time she had been called a dummy by her daughter, Reina was still very concerned about this issue.
Little Celes’s IQ was very high, she definitely inherited it from me.
She must have thought of some clever two-layered logic and deduced that I was a dummy.
Therefore, Reina had no resentment towards Celes at all, but was very curious about how she had come to this conclusion.
And besides,
She also often called Calysia a dummy.
Unfortunately, every time Reina asked, her daughter’s mind seemed to have burned out, and she didn’t know how to express herself at all, so she could only shrink back into Reina’s arms and act spoiled.
“If you don’t mention it, it’s a waste,” Calysia said, following Reina’s words. “Storing it there would be a little uncomfortable. You had the same reaction before. I’m also thinking of Reina.”
“That’s true…”
Speechless.
Anyway, before the other dragon babies were born.
Just let Master be happy.
It’s not that I’m spoiling her, it’s purely for myself.
“As expected of me, there’s never been a losing game~”
“Reina, what does ‘losing game’ mean?”
“It probably means what you think it means. Ah, ah, don’t explain this!”
Reina finished her meal in one go.
Her body was weak and she needed to produce breast milk, so she needed to consume a lot of energy every day. These hard requirements could not be replaced by magic, it was just for the little dragon whelp to grow up healthy.
And then, Reina would hold Calysia and go to the bedchamber to review some documents together.
Reina, who had originally been clueless about these things, was now able to make some decisions in place of Calysia. However, on some levels, Reina was still inferior to the Dragon King. The two might argue because of this, but the result was always Calysia agreeing with Reina’s decision, and the happy Reina, in turn, would agree with Calysia.
While working, the little dragon was always held by her side, either lying on Reina’s shoulder or on her lap. Every time she woke up, she would come to the table and observe her surroundings with curious eyes.
“Mama~”
“Hmm?”
“Dummy.”
“Mmph…”
Reina patted the little dragon’s head.
Why, though?
Two days later.
Reina, who was cooking, accidentally received a meeting invitation from Liya.
During this time, Liya had not appeared.
But what was interesting was that she would always have her subordinates send a lot of ingredients and recipes from all over the world to the Dragon King’s Palace. If besides family, the one with the best relationship with Reina should be Liya.
At the same time, she was also one of her important subordinates.
Suddenly receiving a letter from a friend, she was still quite happy.
And besides…
Reina wanted to know if Liya was pregnant.
The two met in the meeting room. This time, Liya came with more fruits and meat, carrying two packages, and for a moment, she had the shadow of a housewife.
Her skin was a little pale, but otherwise she was the same as usual, a black short skirt paired with a deep red cloak, full of girlishness and at the same time, a little imposing.
“Long time no see, Sister Reina~”
“Liya~”
Liya noticed the swelling of Reina’s belly and smiled sweetly: “Sister Reina, it feels like it’s been half a year. You’ve become more elegant. I remember the first time I saw you, you were still a little wild and innocent. Now, you’re an elegant and virtuous mother~”
“Awoo~”
Celes, lying on Reina’s shoulder, let out a cry.
“I’ve never seen such a cute dragon whelp…”
“Right? Hehe, her name is Celes.”
“Celes?”
Liya’s eyes were full of longing, and her two hands couldn’t help but touch the corner of her skirt, a little nervous.
“Actually,”
“I originally came to visit Sister Reina. Thank you for taking care of me in the God Slaying Society and even giving me a vacation… Mmph, actually, I have other requests.”
“That, I heard that Sister Reina has been updating the prenatal care content recently, but I’m a little… I’m not very confident about my future. Ah, ah, it’s not that I’m not confident about White Miry, I’m just a little nervous… I want to borrow the latest content of the prenatal care from you.”
Liya was so nervous she was at a loss for words.
Reina completely understood something and looked at her belly.
—She was pregnant.
