"I would like to thank you for taking good care of Hiroki in my absence"
Sachio started to blush and waved her hands
"Ow your highness you don't have to thank me, after all it's my job to support you wherever I can. As the mother of two children, I know how heavy it can be. But the honor all belongs to the king. After all, he was the one who stayed up every night with little Hiroki. "
Sachio leaned over to Hiroki and stroked his head
"Little Hiroki do you miss your dad already! And that while you slept and bathed together "
Kaida looked at Sachio in surprise and was a little confused
"Were you not the one who bathed him?"
Sachio looked up surprised and shook her head violently
"No your highness, the second prince is rather difficult with that. Only the king has succeeded in bathing and feeding him without difficulty. it was also a difficult task for me to take care of him in the beginning. And the king was really frightening in the beginning, especially when little Hiroki was crying for too long "
Kaida felt a little light in her head and gave Hiroki to Sachio and sat down on the rocking chair. Sachio's words made her think of what Chika and Edna told her. Had she misjudged him? Should she have asked him before she had made assumptions?
No in terms of care, she had made a mistake, but that did not make it right that he had not sent his mother away and had the children stay in the north wing of the palace.
She thanked Sachio and had her put Hiroki in his bed. Then she said Sachio could withdraw and if she needed her, she would call her.
When Sachio was out of the nursery, she went to Hiroki's bed and looked at him. Now that he was wrapped in his blanket, he laid quietly and occasionally moved his head back and forth.
Kaida looked at his fox who clearly had no interest in his master. When Kaida wanted to put the fox in his bed, he grumbled and made it clear that he didn't like being so close to Hiroki. He was visibly struggling and trying to jump out of Kaida's hands.
Kaida frowned and grabbed the fox by the neck
"What kind of fox are you, that you reject your own master like that. I give you the chance to crawl into his bed yourself or I throw you in, hard! "
The fox huddled and wailed, but obediently went into Hiroki's bed. He wanted to lie down at the foot of the bed until he saw Kaida's cold gaze. He then reluctantly laid down next to Hiroki.
Kaida smiled falsely
"and remember this is where you lay now every night!"
The fox was shaking. he thought he was finally free from Huli's hands, but Kaida let him do exactly the same thing that man made him do! And they were both frightening.
The fox was only happy that things went better every night and he was now more and more attached to Hiroki, but he wouldn't let them know.
When his fox finally laid quietly beside him, Kaida took the dragon egg. She felt that the dragon egg still contained life, but that the temperature was not too cold and not too warm.
It was now two weeks ago that she had given birth and usually the dragon eggs hatched in the first week.
Kaida touched the dragon egg and just wanted to give off a little heat until she heard Long's voice
"My Mistress You Know That, It Is Not Allowed. If you heat his egg, it's no longer his dragon. At Kueng you unknowingly helped him, so there were no serious consequences. If you do it now, we do not know what the consequences will be. "
Kaida rolled her eyes
"So you're still there, I thought you forgot about me. This is the first time I have heard your voice since I am awake. You are not even in the north "
When Kaida finished talking, the nursery suddenly darkened and she heard a loud dragon roar behind her. She turned and saw Long standing at the window. She went to the window and opened it.
The moment the window opened Long ceased her head through the window and was stroking Kaida's head with her nose.
"So as you know, just like you, I wasn't in good health either. I went to the south to recover. I'm happy to see you are awake. But why is the core of your flame a different color "
Kaida rubbed Long's nose and closed her eyes. When she closed her eyes, she stood before her flame and looked closely at it. She knew it was different, but only now she had the chance to take a good look at it.
"A blue core? I don't know what that means. but for the rest nothing seems to have changed, it is just as strong if it is not stronger. I must eat well in the coming period and train every day to get back in top condition "
Long and Kaida watched the sun go down and when she noticed that Hiroki had fallen asleep, she longed for a good night's rest so she said goodnight to Long and closed the window.
Before she laid down in the bed she had placed in the nursery , she went to give the children a goodnight kiss.
Then she blew out the candle and laid down in her bed. Now that she was alone in a bed, she found a bed so big and cold.
...
Huli was sweating in his bed while Kyro and Ronin were holding him tightly so that he laid a little quiet while Tatsu tried to give him his medicine. It was quite a task because Huli was driven mad by the pain.
When Huli finally got his medicine, he became quieter by the minute. His face was pale and his hair was wet with sweat.
He was still shaking with pain but the pain was decreasing every time. When he was no longer shaking, Kyro and Ronin released him.
Tatsu shook his head
"Thank you for your help. I hope this attack is over soon. Fortunately they are already less intense than two weeks ago "
Ronin wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down in a chair beside the bed
"What people will not do for love, he knew that he cannot forcefully give energy to someone and certainly not to someone from another tribe!"
Kyro leaned against a wall and looked at Huli
"I think he succeeded because she bore his children, otherwise he would have been dead already."
