Chapter 236: The Diary
Everyone was listening to Claud read the diary Astri had written while she was traveling on the ship.
"I hope all of you are fine. When I left, Aurora and Albus were so young. I can’t hear Nature entirely now. When I asked if Aurora and Albus were fine, Nature surrounded me with a soft wind. I believe that they’re fine, then. I’m sure Albus is turning handsome like his father." Claud reads, and Lee smiles. "Aurora and Albus, did you know that when I met your father, I didn’t know much about the culture of beastmen? I didn’t know I was a Pegasus. Wayde, Dieg, and I only imagined I was some kind of bird because they used to say I smelled a little like a bird. When I met your father, he tricked me by tying his feather on my hair, knowing I didn’t have any idea of the meaning behind it."
"Father! I can’t believe you did that!" Elias says seriously, but at the same time laughing at Lee.
Lee shrugs his shoulders.
"I was crazy for her, and I wanted to let everyone know that. Especially males." Lee says.
"Of course, I fell in love with him. He was a jealous brat, but he is also a mighty handsome, kind-hearted, flashy, and reliable Eagle. I hope you become like him one day, but with your own personalities. I miss all of you so much. I lost the feather Lee gave me when I last shifted into my Pegasus form. Normally, I would remove all my spouse tokens before shifting to not losing them. Last time I didn’t have time and I lost Lee’s feather, Tyr’s collar, and Koa’s bracelet. I made hair accessories for Albus and Aurora, with my feathers, the way it was your father’s." Claud reads.
Wayde pulls from the gift bag two hair accessories for Albus and Aurora, both had the tags with their names and the day of the diary.
"It’s so pretty!" Aurora happily says, looking at her hair accessory that Astri tied in her hair. "Thank you, mom!" She hugs Astri.
"Thank you, mom. But I won’t give it to another female when I’m of age." Albus says, making everyone laugh at his possessiveness.
