88. Nonsense
Speaking of Sophia, Reina was a little nervous.
Ever since she had drunk the Goddess of Light’s blood a few days ago, Sophia and Reina’s last meeting was when she had returned the “Goddess of Light’s remains.”
At that time, Sophia was the same as usual, and even a little reluctant to part. This made Reina certain that she wasn’t hiding her emotions. If she were as direct as the former Calysia, she might be able to tell if she were putting on an act.
After being endowed with a heart and a soul core by Calysia, the characteristic of seeing through hearts seemed to have been “weakened” to a certain extent.
The letter Sophia had written was a little strange.
Even if she couldn’t tell whether Sophia had discovered any clues, the abnormality in the letter was quite obvious.
Besides work matters, she would often mention her daily life and the stress of life, and occasionally ask about Reina’s situation.
But during this period, Sophia, not only using the reason of the “Goddess of Light’s remains,” had sent more and more treasures to Reina. In just a few days, the treasury was full of gifts from Sophia. And the blood race itself controlled the right to use Lekadis. At first glance, this was just an ordinary attempt to please a superior ruler.
But it just felt that something was wrong.
The former Sophia shouldn’t have been so enthusiastic. No… rather than enthusiasm, it was more “unreserved.”
She had completely lost all her wariness towards me.
And the recent letters had even changed from “explaining her own situation” to “asking about Reina’s situation.”
Reina could only tell her a little about the little dragons and said that she had written a lot of her thoughts in her books.
“Reina, little sister!”
Sophia, noticing the dragon family, flew down and greeted them.
She first greeted Calysia and praised Reina. She knew that this would make the Dragon King very happy.
Then, she praised the dragon whelps… Reina also had to admit that although it was a bit contrived, formalism would still make her, as a mother, feel a little guilty.
“The Dragon King’s treasures, the little princesses~ they’ll all become powerhouses in the future.”
“Eh?”
Compared to the enthusiastic greetings of the other dragon whelps, Celes was clearly a little different from before.
She had originally disliked “outsiders,” especially the bad people who wanted to drink her mommy’s blood every day.
But this time, she stared at Sophia and actually didn’t show any expression of rejection.
“I’m the eldest princess.”
Celes put her hands on her hips, and Angelis and Guangying immediately hugged her.
Had she been bewitched by Sophia?
Impossible.
This was an authority that could completely nullify magic.
“Let me teach the dragon whelps to fly. Compared to your dragon race’s natural ability, our blood race’s method of practicing flying with our weak wings should be more suitable for the start of flight training. What do you say, little sister Reina?”
Sophia smiled gently, like a young lady from a noble family, strolling leisurely and speaking eloquently. Then she squatted down and curtsied.
Reina didn’t refuse.
She was carefully observing Sophia.
Yes, she hadn’t used her dragon form, unless the [Eye of Light] had deceived her.
If she knew I was the Goddess of Light, she should have immediately started to show dragon features.
To ease the awkwardness, Sophia smiled and said:
“Then let’s have a competition to see who can fly faster, Celes~”
“Then let’s go.”
Celes looked very confident.
“I’m going with you.”
Compared to Reina, Calysia was clearly more worried about the little dragon whelps. For the sake of the Blood Queen, she didn’t refuse her.
So, the two dragons and Sophia flew up to the sky together, almost invisible to the naked human eye.
All the spiral devices, the floating stones, were all footholds.
And Reina could only check the situation in the sky on one side and start to explain the knowledge of flying to the other dragon whelps on the other.
“Pay attention to the angle and the way you exert force. This has to be judged according to your own situation. Little Cal should have taught you…”
—Although it hadn’t been long since Reina had become a dragon.
For a moment, Reina felt that she was being too doting. But to make her other children become like Celes was a bit too much for them. Thinking of the “cruelty” of the mother cat in the park, Reina still gave up this choice.
She sat on a bench on the side, and the dragon whelps didn’t complain at all, squeezing beside her, their two hands holding hers.
“Little Angelis, did you wear the wrong dress today?”
“Meow?”
“This is Guangying’s dress, right? Because her dress is tighter in the chest.”
“Awoo…”
Guangying, hearing this, fiercely acted spoiled with Reina. However, after she had created her own body, her chest was also a little regrettable… now she had only inherited her previous development.
“Mom, aren’t we going to practice flying?”
Reina glanced at the sky again. Even from a thousand meters away, Reina could hear the roar of the sound barrier being broken several times, as if several giants were fighting at the top of the spiral, and could easily cause this world to collapse.
“You’re still young. Let’s just learn the basics this time.”
“Mama is just afraid we’ll fall.”
Guangying said in a soft voice.
“It was the same before. She was completely afraid of hurting me.”
“Eh, wait a minute?”
“Yes, it was the same before. Knowing that I was her child, she brought me home to protect me.”
“Hmm?”
Originally still thinking about how to deal with the little dragon’s words, Reina’s expression was forever frozen at that moment.
Even Mura in her arms widened her eyes. After being woken up, she licked Reina’s cheek and changed her position to continue sleeping.
“You… you’ve recovered… your memories? When did you…!”
Didn’t they all remember?!
Especially Angelis.
She actually remembered that she had been taken in by her out of motherly love!
“I recovered in three months.”
Angelis wagged her little tail, as if she were enjoying her shocked expression.
“Mommy is just like that, sensitive to everything, but not sensitive to your love.”
“A mother who doesn’t know herself,” Guangying said with a smile, echoing her.
The two little dragons seemed to have become demons, whispering in Reina’s ear, every word making her heart tremble.
She decisively decided to use the Eye of Light to check, but in the end, she still held back.
It took her several minutes to accept this reality.
Then, hearing Angelis’s voice, she blushed again.
“When I was in the dragon egg, I even heard Mama and Mother (meow), so cute.”
“Don’t look at that kind of thing!”
“(Meow) what is it?” Guangying looked at her sister with curious eyes.
Even Mura pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the knowledge her sister was sharing.
In the end, these little dragons were all fiercely rubbed on the head by Reina for ten minutes as a punishment.
When Sophia and the others landed, they only saw the dragon girl sleeping on the long bench.
“Mother, you’re drooling.”
“Nonsense.”
