Chapter 83: Blessings To you, Your Majesty The Queen
“Well…”
[System, are you sure this isn’t a trick to get me to do a task?]
In the past, before becoming the Dragon Girl, when I was still a Hero, the main task of the system was to lead us Heroes to find treasures and search for places rich in leyline energy.
Gaining gifts of leyline energy, treasures like the Holy Sword, Holy Spear, and Holy Shield.
Some powerful leyline artifacts, such as the Alpha Holy Sword of Zelan, required the System’s assistance to bind the soul.
One could say the System was created for the sake of leyline energy, guiding humanity to search for treasures, so that they could use the leyline energy to surpass the dragon race and slay dragons.
Now, as I embark on this path again for the sake of my children, Naya can’t help but doubt whether this is still the System’s task.
[If you don’t believe me, then let one of your children’s souls be devoured by the other! Besides, is it wrong for me to make you a bit stronger? You spend all day dreaming of being Iris’s beloved wife, thinking that a wife’s only job is to stay home and take care of the children. This kind of thinking will eventually harm you! Work hard to become stronger, regardless of whether you become enemies with Iris in the future, you’ll be able to grasp your own destiny and make the choices you believe are right.]
[I’m sorry, System, I was wrong.]
Naya quickly apologized.
The System seemed quite excited, cursing in her mind.
[If you still don’t believe me, you can ask Iris, she must know about your body’s condition. Every time she entered your body before, she was channeling energy into you, likely to ease the conflict between the two souls. But now, clearly, as their souls grow, Iris’s energy is no longer sufficient for them, which is why she has gone far away to travel. Use your brain, Naya. Do you really think Iris just wants to take you out for a good time?]
[So, that’s how it is…]
Naya genuinely thought that Iris felt they had been confined long enough and, out of kindness, decided to take them out for some fun.
[Alas, silly sweet girl.]
[I’ll go ask her in a moment.]
Naya lifted the covers.
Swiftly putting on a dress and tying her hair simply without any additional decorations, she got ready as quickly as possible.
Then she went to Illya’s room and called her awake.
“Quick, quick, hurry up and get out of bed!”
“Hmm… Mama, good morning.”
“It’s not early! I still need to go find your Mother, so lift your hands and take off your clothes.”
Illya noticed Naya’s hurried expression, seeming very anxious.
“Lift your hands, come on.”
“Oh.”
Ilya raised both her hands.
Naya took a deep breath, helping Illya get up, dress, wash her face, and apply powder.
Then she carried Illya downstairs to the dining room, placing her in a chair, stuffing a fork in Illya’s left hand and chopsticks in her right.
“All done! You eat breakfast with the maid first, I’ll go find your Mother.”
“Okay.”
Illya turned to look at Naya and nodded obediently.
Then her gaze followed Naya as she hurriedly left the dining room, returning to the maid beside her.
“Bella, what’s wrong with Mama? Why does she want to see Mother so badly?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know.”
“You won’t even help me guess?”
Illya picked up a chicken leg from the table, starting to eat breakfast alone without her mother’s company, it wasn’t enjoyable at all.
But her Mama had urgent matters to attend to and couldn’t stick to her like glue, making her Mama uncomfortable.
On the other side, Naya went straight to the front hall.
With a bang, she pushed open the door to Iris’s office.
After seeing Veltia inside, Naya felt a bit embarrassed.
“Sorry, I… was rude.”
Once she calmed down, Naya realized just how impolite she had been.
But since she had already barged in, it wasn’t proper to just leave.
Naya glanced around, aside from Iris’s chair, there was no other chair for someone to sit.
“What’s the matter?”
Did Veltia and Iris always discuss business standing up?
Iris looked in Naya’s direction, still not fully out of work mode, her expression a bit serious.
“Come in.”
Meanwhile, Veltia, standing upright, frowned unconsciously.
Iris patted her thigh.
“I need to talk to you. If it’s inconvenient, I can wait outside.”
Naya boldly took a seat.
“Veltia, you can go do your thing, we can discuss the rest later.”
Then she recounted the System’s words to Iris in detail.
“Yes, Your Majesty the Queen.”
“Oh? Are you sure?”
Although Veltia had her reservations, believing the Consort shouldn’t be more important than business, since Her Majesty had issued the order, she could only suppress her feelings.
Veltia turned and walked away, brushing past Naya.
“This… this is just my special ability making a guess! So I need you to verify whether it’s true or not. Is there only one egg in my belly, but with two souls?”
She kindly closed the door for both of them.
Iris rubbed Naya’s hair.
“What’s going on? Why are you in such a hurry?”
After a long moment of thought, once Veltia left, Iris’s expression softened considerably, her eyes full of affection for Naya, her tone becoming gentler.
So, Naya’s special ability is this powerful.
She thought she could keep it hidden a little longer.
“Quick, tell me, stop rubbing your head against me.”
Naya pulled Iris’s head away from her hair.
Iris’s mouth curled slightly, nodding with a somewhat aggrieved look.
“It is…”
“Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“I was afraid you would worry and blame me…”
Naya suddenly realized that her emotions were indeed particularly easy to agitate.
She wasn’t like this before, just thinking about her children made Naya inexplicably anxious.
Naya’s previously excited tone calmed down.
“How could I blame you? Moreover, did you know from the very beginning that it would be this way?”
“Mmm.”
“You see, I would have found out sooner or later, right? It’s something you have to tell me, whether early or late, you should have told me sooner.”
“At that time, you had just regained your memories, and I couldn’t gauge your personality, so… I kept it from you until now, not daring to say anything.”
“True…”
Iris hiding it from her was indeed understandable, Naya hugged Iris’s neck and said very seriously.
“But from now on, no matter what difficulties we face, we need to be honest with each other, and we will overcome them together! Iris, I’m not as fragile as you think, after all, I was once a Hero.”
Iris leaned back in her chair, her eyes sparkling with a smile.
“Okay.”
“We really need leyline energy to nourish the souls of the children, so they can be well-fed and won’t fight, right?”
“Pretty much.”
“I got it!”
Iris leaned back in her chair, giving Naya room to turn around, and Naya lifted her other leg to straddle Iris’s thigh.
Her line of sight was slightly higher than Iris’s.
With her hands resting on Iris’s shoulders, Naya pressed her forehead against Iris’s, declaring earnestly,
“Iris, let’s protect the children together and seek out leyline energy, we must feed their souls well so they can all survive.”
“Okay, we will protect them together.”
Naya gazed into Iris’s red eyes.
In that moment of deep affection, she couldn’t help but lean towards Iris’s red lips.
Tracing the softness of clouds and depicting a sweet taste.
The tight pressure against her chest made each heartbeat clearer to both of them.
“Naya… I’m sorry…”
Seeing Naya panting, Iris said something that broke the atmosphere.
“Why?”
“If I weren’t the Dragon King, you could have a normal child like any other ordinary person, and wouldn’t need to worry about these things, running around even while pregnant.”
“What kind of talk is that? If you weren’t the Dragon King, I wouldn’t have met you. If you weren’t the Dragon King, you wouldn’t have the ability to make me pregnant. Even if you weren’t the Dragon King, there’s no guarantee that the child I’d be carrying would definitely be normal—life is full of uncertainties. But as long as we stay united in heart, there’s nothing to fear. Look at Illya, isn’t she healthy and well? So, this is just a low-probability event. If you still want another, I’m still willing to bear it for you. I don’t regret it, and I won’t be afraid.”
“Naya…”
Iris lowered her head, burying herself in the overwhelming waves, above the deep valleys.
“You…”
The slightly damp sensation on her chest instantly petrified Naya, rendering her motionless.
Iris… was she crying?
Was she moved to tears?
Naya gently stroked the back of Iris’s head.
She held Iris’s head tightly, allowing her to indulge in the warmth of her embrace.
After a few minutes, Iris lifted her head, her expression unchanged, still smiling at the corners of her lips.
“I should also go home and check if Illya has been studying well. You go ahead and call Veltia back to continue working. Tomorrow, we’ll set off ~”
After saying that, Naya slid off Iris’s lap.
“Work hard. Starting tomorrow, we’ll face the children’s issues together.”
“Mmm.”
Iris nodded.
Naya clutched her chest, the moisture in her palm—seven parts damp, three parts sticky—didn’t bother her at all.
For the first time, she felt that the weight on her chest was of such great importance. After all, this was something that could make the Dragon Queen cry.
Opening the office door, Naya saw Veltia waiting outside. With an apologetic expression, she said,
“I’m sorry, Veltia, for delaying your work.”
“It’s fine, Your Majesty the Queen.”
“Well then, you two can continue working. I’ll head back now. Goodbye.”
Veltia watched the silver figure leaving joyfully.
She came in looking solemn, but left with a beaming smile.
Haha… women really are fickle.
Stepping into the office, Veltia saw her Queen, the gentleness and smile in her eyes still lingering, unable to be quickly concealed.
“Your Majesty, you seem to like her really much.”
“Yes, Veltia, in this lifetime, I’ll only marry her.”
“That’s certainly unprecedented. But since Her Majesty the Queen is so fertile, you don’t really need to marry many.”
Usually, Dragon Kings marry many wives to ensure the continuation of their lineage, and as Iris’s close confidant, Veltia was well aware of Naya’s situation.
“I’m serious, Veltia. I love her.”
“…”
It was as if Veltia’s heart had been shot by an arrow. She clenched her teeth, struggling to contain her strong urge to retort.
Then, she exhaled.
“Blessings to you, Your Majesty.”
Before, when Naya hadn’t regained her memories, Iris always kept things hidden. She feared that once Naya saw the wider world, she would change her heart, thinking that Iris was only using her as a tool for bearing children.
But now, Iris couldn’t wait to tell the whole world that Naya was her wife.
Turning to look at the serious expression on Veltia’s face, Iris teased.
“Veltia, when will you get yourself a wife?”
Veltia immediately responded, flustered.
“Your Majesty! I have no such thoughts! I am fully dedicated to the development of the Dragon Empire!”
“But for the development of the Dragon Empire, you shouldn’t treat yourself like a machine.”
“I only wish to stay by Your Majesty’s side and accomplish the great task of unifying the world with you.”
“Is that so?”
Iris’s sparkling eyes settled into a calm gaze.
Yes.
That was indeed her ultimate mission.
However, unifying the world and loving Naya were not in conflict.
By the time she became the ruler of the world, Naya would be the Queen of the world. Wouldn’t that be a remarkable achievement throughout all time?
