Book 15: Chapter 53
The children were well. They were growing up well. After all, their mothers were outstanding mothers. I gave my daughters hugs successively. They couldn’t sweetly run over to me and call me “Daddy” yet. Regardless, when they saw my face, they joyfully reached out to me with their tiny arms to try and hug me. They also looked very blissful. I kissed them one by one.
I must say, Nona and Daisy were a bit of a handful. I couldn’t have them together; else, the other cried when I kissed one. Vera, on the other hand, silently watched her sisters. She wasn’t hasty. She was the eldest sister, all right. That was why I gave Vera priority and kissed her first, while the other two got jealous with each other.
After staying with them for a while, I noticed that they could move. Nona and Vera’s ears had started to take on a longer shape, while Daisy’s ears were standard human ears. The three sisters looked the same when they were born, but they would have distinguishable differences in appearance once they grew up. Speaking of which, the four sisters had three ear variations between them. It was quite the interesting situation.
I suddenly recalled what I wanted to tell Dragon Mom. I remembered it when I was thinking about races. I wanted to tell Mom about the dragon race. At present, dragons existed in the North. That must’ve been very important to Dragon Mom. I needed to tell her soon. I decided to inform her at night.
Freya should’ve ceased plans. She understood that she had no authority to plan anything without my approval. Additionally, she couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to. She was totally uninformed about dragons. Dragon Mom was her only reference; not to mention that she appeared in human form. Freya couldn’t slay dragons even if she wanted to. Based on what we currently knew, Ying and Xia were the only ones capable of slaying a dragon.
“Your Majesty, it is time for dinner. Please head to the dining hall, first. The Consorts need to breastfeed the children first.”
I nodded, and then stood up to leave the room. I saw Lucia and Nier coming over to breastfeed the girls as I left. Seeing them, I realised, “The three girls have their three meals at fixed times, I see.”
Breakfast had been ingrained, while dinner was sometimes added as an extra meal. Lucia was under more pressure than Nier, since she had to feed two girls, and Lucia wasn’t going to let Nier breastfeed her girls. She said that when elves breastfeed, they were simultaneously replenishing their children’s mana. Humans didn’t have mana, so they would only reduce an elf’s mana.
Lucia was most probably mindful of her mana, which was why she cared about her girls’ mana. She felt a little sorry for Nona, as Nona’s mana was very average. Fortunately, there was Vera, who had superior mana to compensate, thereby providing the elves with a new qualified monarch.
