77. New Difficulties
When Reina woke up, it was already morning. Her body was tired, and there were clear marks on both her legs and her neck.
Especially the Dragon Mark on her thigh, where Calysia had bitten her…
It was a little painful, but touching it gave her a sense of accomplishment that she didn’t know where it came from, as if Calysia were relying on her. Thinking of this, her mind would become strange.
“Dummy Little Cal, how could you knock me out again? Didn’t we agree to play after the story session was over…”
Looking at her already swollen lower abdomen, and the scent of the little dragon on her chest, she suddenly became happy again, and her resentment also disappeared.
“Hehe, Little Cal’s child~”
The child lying on Reina’s body was concerned about their relationship.
Angelis still remembered that Mother Calysia had put her hot, strange-smelling mommy on the bed, and had said to them with an apologetic expression that they could drink milk now, and then began to caress her blushing mother. As a result, when her mother woke up, the first thing she did was to touch her own belly and giggle foolishly.
Of course, the reason for her foolish laughter was not just because she was pregnant with a dragon whelp. Angelis couldn’t say for sure.
“Why does Mommy seem to have become even more foolish?”
“Nonsense.”
“Mommy looks silly~” Guangying also chimed in with a smile.
The current Guangying was different from before.
Her eyes had changed from a child-like clarity to a smile with many complex emotions, somewhat similar to Calysia’s… Something was secretly being hidden from her, and there was a calm confidence that she could achieve her goal.
But what bad intentions could a little dragon have?
Reina forcefully rubbed the heads of the two little dragon girls. Their silk-like hair was a pleasure to touch.
Celes was sleeping with her mother’s arm, and Reina was startled awake in her dream when she first spoke. She chuckled and rested her chin on Reina’s arm:
“Did Mommy play happily yesterday?”
She had personally seen Mommy pull her mother into the recreation area. Such a large bed, she didn’t know what they could play.
“Where is the happiness… This is all for the children, hmph… By the way, Little Cal?
“Mother said that she went to clean, and that she would make breakfast today, so I slept with Mommy until now,” Celes yawned.
“Really?”
Reina sensed it and discovered that Calysia was indeed busy. She was in the recreation hall, wearing her usual clothes, and was using gravity to clean the scent and marks on the bed.
Seeing this, Reina blushed again.
Celes gently squeezed the two little dragon girls to the side, pressed her head against Reina’s slightly swollen belly, and then her eyes widened in an instant.
“Mommy??”
“You’re really pregnant?”
“Mmm…”
“Mommy!”
Celes’s eyes gradually filled with grievance. She sat on one of Reina’s thighs and said with a pout, “Aren’t we enough? Why are you having more children!”
“Mmph… your share won’t be less, Mama promises.”
“Wait?”
Celes suddenly discovered an anomaly.
She could use her authority to easily see things that ordinary people couldn’t see, and her perception was also stronger than an ordinary dragon’s.
So, she saw…
There were two lives in Mommy’s belly. She hadn’t intended to just have one! This was another pair of twins!
“Mom! Why are there two?”
The little dragons, who had been half-asleep and waiting for Reina to breastfeed, also became energetic upon hearing this.
“Are there two babies in Mom’s belly?” Angelis asked with doubt. She could understand Celes’s worry. If so many little dragons were born before they were weaned, wouldn’t they have to continue to have more little sisters?!
But two more generally didn’t matter.
If this continued at this rate, the bedchamber probably wouldn’t be able to fit them in five years!
“Yes!” Celes nodded, and together with Angelis, who had suddenly pounced on her, she stared at Reina with her small eyes.

Angelis had originally wanted to let Celes watch Mother Reina together, but the latter had no such intention. She lay on the silk dragon egg and said softly:
“So many little sisters are going to be born~ Guangying can finally have a little sister. I’m always being petted by my older sister. I can finally pet my little sister’s head, hehe.”
Reina couldn’t help but laugh.
They probably didn’t know that the dragon egg in her belly was Elena… and Pesa.
After taking Elena, Reina had also conveniently taken the Pope, who had been secretly helping the few of them, into her belly. This was the most convenient way.
But Celes was different. She could feel that she seemed to have seen these two lives before.
What a familiar soul scent.
She glanced at Reina, then at her belly, and said with a giggle:
“Mommy, are the humans going to be finished?”
“Hmm?” Reina was asked, and for a moment, she didn’t react.
“Because the queen and the Pope have disappeared at the same time. It should have a bad impact, right?”
“That’s right…”
Without asking how Celes had figured it out, Reina nodded in agreement with her view.
This was also something that would probably be a headache in the future.
After the end of the Blood King’s Bone trade incident, Pesa had imprisoned the apostles who were suspected of being related to Aurora, and among them were many high-ranking officials with a say.
It would surely cause a sensation in the human world, especially the disappearance of Elena, which absolutely could not be known by anyone.
Even Pesa, who was in charge of the aftermath, had been taken by her. Now, Reina could only do her best to stabilize the situation.
Of course, this wasn’t the worst news.
The matter mentioned in Sophia’s letter was the incident that would brew a crisis.
—
The spring wind arrived quietly. The sky of the crimson kingdom was still that full moon, like daylight. The moon was covered in a faint blood-red mist. Looking up, it was like a huge, ominous object.
The city of the blood race maintained its primitive demonic ecology. Low-level demons below level 30, dangerous giant pythons hidden in the grass, and the unicorn spirit beasts that had once been hunted to near extinction by humans, galloped through the gloomy forest.
And now, no one dared to approach the royal palace of that Blood Queen. The maids who had once transformed into bats while working no longer circled in the air, to avoid being injured by a sudden blood blade… That was two days ago. After Queen Sophia returned from Cadis, she had become frantic and uneasy, her power on the verge of going berserk at any moment.
Once, a maid was serving her tea and accidentally woke her up. The queen instantly lost control and cut off half of the royal palace with one hand.
Fortunately, the blood race’s magical architecture was considered top-tier in the world, so the Blood Queen’s embarrassment was avoided.
And now, on the crimson throne, the being known as the Blood Queen was crossing her legs, holding a wine glass, but a hint of imperceptible sorrow appeared on her face.
Her servants had also been driven away, leaving only herself and an empty royal palace.
On her full chest, a crimson crystal had grown from within her flesh. It was sometimes turbid and sometimes clear. When it began to shimmer with a crimson light, Sophia’s eyes widened abruptly, and she began to mutter.
“Blood…”
“I really want… blood…”
