Chapter 952: THE FINAL BATTLE (18)
All the little girls refused to be cleaned when they arrived in Iris’s bedroom. She got a nice bedroom of the queen, which meant, previously it was Della’s bedroom.
It was spacious enough to accommodate all of them and they could see the garden from there. This was the second best bedroom after the king’s, which of course was occupied by Decratic.
However, after Iris convinced them and healed some of their wound, they relented and finally cleaned themselves and now, they looked pretty and smelled good.
Yet, they became terrified, because usually whenever they were clean, something horrible would happen to them.
Iris’s heart ached for them. She could see the trauma in their eyes and it reflected her own. She could see how scared and helpless they were and it felt like she was seeing herself.
"It’s okay... No one will hurt you. Stay close to me, okay..." Iris kissed them all and healed their wounds.
Ten of them were shifters, including Annie, four of them had potential to be magic users and the two little girls were human.
The shifters in this age had not yet had their healing ability fully developed, thus their wounds needed time to heal.
They were surprised to see how Iris healed them and wanted to see more of the warm light. Their expressions were very innocent and they crept closer to Iris, wanting to touch her or simply be in her presence.
"Is there a baby there?" One of the little girls, pointing her finger at Iris’s big stomach.
"There are two babies here," Iris said. She smiled genuinely for the first time, as she talked about her babies, while from the corner of her eyes, she could see how her little lights fluttered in the air. Her lazy one actually rested on top of one of the children’s head, seemingly too lazy to move like the other one.
