Chapter 1668
“It appears that the pirates scattered, and the remains of the fey fleet have fled.” Eliana explained.
A day had passed since the attack was broken. Most of the people who had died in the invasion were currently being resurrected thanks to Anne and her church. However, no one could resurrect the fey, and every one of those who had died was a blow to their empire. In the end, it proved too large a blow for them, at least for now.
“They’ll be back.” I sighed.
“Yes, well, for the moment, we’re safe.”
I had spent the last day resting, as did everyone. It was nearing nighttime when I had found Eliana up and working, despite everything that happened. I both admired and worried about her. So, I had sat her down and checked on her. Of course, the small bulge that had started to form on her stomach was no longer there.
“Are the little ones doing, okay?” Eliana asked, looking at my bed.
I hadn’t rested alone. The winners of the competition had turned out to be Chance and Cici. After healing them, the girls insisted that I went to the victors, and the next thing I knew, the two were being shoved in my room.
“S-since you’re honoring flat-chests… the church will allow it this once.” Anne declared shyly.
That woman! Thankfully, neither Cici nor Chance understood what their aunties were suggesting, and so we merely slept in the same bed. It was fine because I wanted to continue to check on them and make sure they were alright.
“Chance was just tired. She’s still young and doesn’t have the kind of stamina to handle all of the things we did today.”
Few adults would have the stamina to do all of the things she had done.
“What about the older one?
“The miasma had permanently altered her. She’s not a god soul, but she’s a bit like Astria now. In the same way, the fairy girls from Chalm are touched with a bit of fairy, she’s been turned darker.”
