Chapter 514: Emotional Compensation.
Empress Gyadiosa’s humanoid form was that of a levianewt, which should have been obvious considering her children took after her. This meant her form showed her gills, fins along her back and tail, and also a set of whiskers underneath her chin. Unlike her children, though, her body was completely reptilian, showing barely any pink elven skin.
Still she had blue hair, though, it looked more like a mane as it covered her entire neck and even went down her back and tail, following her dorsal fin. As a levianewt, she had no set of wings, of course, but I knew from my lectures that she also wasn’t a normal leviathan either. She, like her children, were mutant leviathans who could fly in the sky without wings, as they innately had the ability to control clouds to help them levitate.
From seeing Kahalameet’s real form from up close, I was sure his mother and sister should look like Chinese dragons—a seiryuu or long. Well, considering Gyadiosa was predominantly blue, I might as well call her a “Qing Long,” an azure dragon … hehe. Joke over.
“Ah, absolutely majestic. You can’t get whale jerky and fresh walrus steak as good as in Frozen Nest.” This very “azure dragon” was currently gorging down plates full of food while her fins were flapping around, acting almost like wings.
“It warms the heart, that is for sure.” Sitting next to her, Empress Virrflax was doing the exact same thing, only that she wasn’t hiding her excitement through her small appendages. Her rainbow-colored feathers were fluttering about whenever she sighed in satisfaction, curling her hands to pump the air.
As animated as always, Mother-Empress.
“Well, my chefs had already prepared a similar feast for my child and retainers. They already had great taste-testers before the both of you arrived,” Mom affectionately interjected, prompting the three women to laugh alongside each other, looking like a group of … well, good friends. It might not look like it, but these three just participated in a serious political matter with one of them getting into a fight with our emperor.
Yet they were acting as if none of that had happened.
“I see your wound is completely gone,” Virrflax said as she finished some fish soup. “I am sure Eltharion dealt a pretty serious blow with his black flames on your shoulder, but look at you, you seem finer than a fledgling after their first long hibernation.”
