Hiole Palace. Working Room
In a quiet room with a tranquil atmosphere. Hiole was seen sitting in the middle of the room with a glass of warm tea in his hand.
Someone came knocking on the door with a soft voice asking for permission to enter Hiole's Room.
"Come in" (Hiole)
The door moving forward into the room could not be heard, and someone entered after the door was opened and he closed the door again.
"How's her situation(Fiora)?" (Hiole)
Said Hiole as she put her teacup on the table in front of her. The one who entered her room was Aina, the Head of Maid.
she came to report on Fiora's situation. And Hiole who asked her showed a beautiful smile.
"She's (Fiora) already asleep" (Aina)
Aina answered while lowering her head and closing her eyes. For her this was the first time in hundreds of years she showed her smile.
"Poor girl, I found her in the Forest roasting Ogre Meat"(Hiole)
"Ogre? This kid- I means Fiora-sama?" (Aina)
Yes, I saw her using some strange magic. That magic is red like blood. Wait, I guess it is blood.
Most likely she was one of the Long-Lost Races " (Hiole)
Could she be an Elf? But it could be a Demon who has long been extinct "(Aina)
"No, from her attacks I could conclude,a Magic madeof blood no doubt aboutit.
She is one of the races that have long disappeared, she is a vampire " (Hiole)
"V-Vampire. But the amount of her power is absurd at such a young age, even though she is a Vampire who has lived for a long time.
It is impossible for a vampire to have magic power like that, are you sure he is a vampire" (Hiole)
Yes, there's no mistaking it, I deduced it from her Blood Magic. The vampire sucks someone's blood to eat and increase the lifespan.
They will die if they do not consume blood for a long time. And also vampires cannot walk in the sun.
But Fiora is different, she can easily walk in the sun. And she doesn't need blood to survive.
And also I don't care even if the fact is she is a Vampire or other race that has been lost or extinct.
It doesn't take away from the fact that Fiora is now my daughter, and finally my dream has come true after all this time" (Hiole)
Aina, who heard Hiole tell's a long story, became silent for a moment. She lowered her head with a small smile on her face.
For Aina, Hiole was very different when Fiora arrived, Hiole, who was usually very cold and rarely interacted with someone.
Even in a day only a few words she said to the maids. And now Aina can see Hiole smile and she is grateful for the presence of Fiora who became Hiole daughter.
"Well then Hiole-sama, I will prepare your room" (Hiole)
No need, I'll sleep with my beloved daughter ~ Just prepare the clothes my daughter will wear for Tomorrow "
Yes, Hiole-sama." Nodding lightly, She once again lowered her head and left Hiole's Room with a smile on her face as she left Hiole workingroom.
"Sigh I'll sneak into her room and sleep beside her. This is the thing I've been waitingfor~"
Hiole laughed to herself in the quiet room. She was very happy and couldn't wait to go to Fiora's room.
Hiole finished her work quickly, she immediately rushed to change her nightgown and slipped into Fiora's Chamber.
=================================
In the Morning.
"Haaagh It's Morn-"
Right after Fiora Woke up she saw someone beside her. It was the still sleeping Hiole with a smile on her face.
Fiora put her hand on Hiole Who was sleeping. She thought how comfortable it would be to have a Mother even though Fiora was older than it seemed.
"I remembered what Aina told me yesterday"
Flashback.
Yesterday. The day of Fiora's arrival.
After announcing that Fiora has been adopted as the Daughter of Ice Dragon Hiole. Aina took Fiora to her room.
In Fiora Room.
"Fiora-sama do you like the room? Is there anything missing? Are the room look less beautiful? Then I will cal- " (Aina)
Before finishing her last sentence, Fiora cut off the conversation, Fiora wondered why she was so happy with Fiora's presence.
"I-I don't think it's necessary, I really like this room, I think it doesn't get any better than this" (Fiora)
I am very happy to hear it. I'm sorry in advance. Your clothes will cometomorrow.
Right now We are asking the Female Dwarf to make clothes for Fiora-sama.
And the clothes will be finished tomorrow, We have also made a bathroom in your room. And also do you want to eat now?"
Fiora who listened to her explanation fell silent, She began to wonder why I was treated like a princess?
"Umm.....Ano...Aina-san, Can I ask something?"
Nervously, Fiora asked Aina softly. Aina who heard her question immediately turned her face very quickly and got closer to Fiora's Face.
No need to use -san, just Aina, OK? What is wrong? Just ask me! Do you want sweet cakes? Do you want a cutedoll?!"
Haiz This Aina, she's so excited.
" Um, well I wanted to ask why is everyone so happy? When I came here everyone had different looks before I was declared as Mother's Daughter?"
Aina who heard her question she was surprised, Aina immediately smiled and caress Fiora's head, Aina walked towards the mattress and sat on the mattress.
"Ice Dragon Hiole- No your mother, She is the Strongest Dragon in the world. Of the 5 Dragons in this world. Your mother is the strongest among them.
Hundreds of Years Ago. Your mother destroyed a Countryside for being upset.
I don't know exactly what upset her. What is clear is he takes all her emotions by killing and destroying.
The village was destroyed without a remainder, There is a family with 1 baby who is still alive. They ran to the forest to escape from your mother.
Until they are at their limit and can't run anymore. When your mom attacked them.
The family consists of a husband and wife and a baby who is carried by his wife. The husband and wife protect their child to the death.
They protected the baby with all the attacks your mother launched, well even if it was just to satisfy her.
In the end they both died. They died in a state of hugging their babies. The hugged baby wakes up.
She laughed seeing your Mother who was in Dragon form. At that time, your mother became interested in raising a child.
When the baby laughs at your mother, your mother smiles shyly, but she doesn't take the baby.
She still needed to think about it, so she left the Baby, who was embraced by the corpses of Mother and Father.
our mother keeps thinking about the baby she saw the other day. She kept thinking about it until she wished she had a child.
She goes straight to the place where the baby she left behind and quickly, she comes to the place where she left the baby.
When she arrived, bad things happened to the baby. The Babies and the parents' corpses are eaten by a group of orcs.
Your mother who saw that, immediately got emotional and lost her control. She destroyed the Cities Around Her.
After she finished her rampage she came back with a cold gaze, She pondered her mistakes in her room.
Your mother regrets leaving the baby alone there. Your mother doesn't think that the baby will die.
But she didn't give up on finding children. She went to small towns to look for babies.
She pleaded well with the People of the City, if they did not give it, the consequence would be to destroy that City.
So they gave a Human Baby Girl From a Poor Family. In exchange, your mother gave them some treasure.
Your mother took the baby to her palace. She was very happy with the baby's presence. But the next day, the baby died.
Caused by excessive magical energy surrounding the baby makes the baby unable to endure and die.
Your mother buried the baby. She was not desperate to find children. So she looked for Toddler Girl, and it ended up Dead too.
Your mother is looking for 7-10 year olds, she died too. Teenage Girl, only lasted a few years after that she died.
Your mother gave up hope and she never again looked for a child to teach. She returned to her former cold and cruel Ice Dragon Queen.
Until finally a few hundred years later she found you. Finally we can see Hiole-sama smiling again.
It's all because of your presence. That is all I can explain to you"
Fiora's eyes filled with tears when he heard the story. She is determined to make Mother Ice Dragon happy.
"Thanks for the explanation, I will do my best as a child of the Ice Dragon"
Aina who heard that immediately stood up from the bed, smiled and hugged Fiora.
"Thank you"
After that Aina left Fiora's room. Fiora's days as an Ice Dragon Child have just begun.
