A week after Sobe City was taken over
Pearl Empire
Meeting room.
"WE HAVE LOST THE CITY OF SOBE AND THE CITY OF HAGE THAT GUARDS THE BORDER!"
"HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? Aren't Their Troops just a small number?"
"VISCOUNT BATRA FAILED IN DEFENDING THE BORDER, HORRIBLE SHAME TO THE KINGDOM"
The nobles argued about the wrong fall of the Imperial Territory into enemy hands.
"Everyone Shut up! Is that how you behave in front of the emperor?!"
General Mayden shouted trying to calm the atmosphere, the nobles were silent to hear it because General Mayden was the person most trusted by the emperor and respected by the nobles for his abilities.
"Your Highness, Please"
"Count Henry, please read the report."
"Well Your Majesty, One month ago the City of Hage which was ruled by Baron Kelv, was attacked by the troops of Olympus, there is no information on how many, because all the knights who defended the City, all died.
We took this for granted and assigned Viscount Batra to take back Hage Town. But unlucky he failed to do so and made Sobe City which is his territory fell into enemy hands.
But what is still a mystery is the number of enemy troops deployed to match our knights.
300,000 Viscount Batra Knights died without a trace before even reaching Hage City, no enemy corpses were found.
So we're assuming that it wasn't them who eliminated the 300,000 troops, I guess that it was a Dragon who eliminated them."
All the nobles panicked at Count Henry's conjecture, after saying that the disappearance of Viscount Batra's army was due to the interference of the Dragons.
"D-Dragon?!"
"No way?! what's the reason they attacked us?"
"Could it be that Viscount Batra did something to him?"
"Maybe he just happened to be passing by and slaughtered them..."
Various assumptions about why the Dragons slaughtered their troops emerged one by one from the nobles.
"Everyone Calm down!'
General Mayden once again calmed things down, the atmosphere was once again quiet.
"That's just my guess, but it's the most reasonable, Your Majesty, what steps should we take?"
"For now everyone stays alert, don't make any moves, send scouts to Hage Town and Sobe"
"Well!" *Everything at the same time
"You all may go"
The meeting ended, and all the nobles of the pearl empire returned to their respective territories and maximized their guard on the city.
========================================
Kamisaki... Kamisaki... Kamisaki...KAMISAKI!
"Argh!!
Humph... Humph... what's that? dream? I saw a man who called me by that name, but his face was covered by shadows, Who is that man?
When was the last time I had a bad dream...forget it, morning has come, I had breakfast with Nina and Nisa, after that I went to study.
The development of the war is currently no progress, the Pearl Empire has not made a move, and it seems that they have a careful strategist.
Moments after that there was a commotion in front of the Fiora Palace.
"Madam, may I know what is your business in coming here?" (guard knight)
"I'm looking for my daughter Fiora, I heard she lives here"
"May I see evidence that you are related to Miss Fiora?"
"Hoo? you lowly bastards, how dare you question someone's privacy, die [Ice Hurriance]"
An ice storm was created by that woman who was none other than Hiole, her attack was aimed at the guard knights, several guard knights came and tried to stop the ice storm from reaching the palace.
"[Ice Wall]"
Someone created a wall to block the ice storm, none other than Fiora.
"Who dares to stop me??"
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I just came to see my daughter, don't you like it?"
"It's not like that, it's just....ah well how about we go in?"
"Okay"
The guard knights finally found out that the woman was Fiora's mother and apologized for their actions.
"Okay I'm forgive y'all, now go"
"Okay, Ma'am!"
Enter Nina's Palace and Nisa jumps towards Fiora.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, we were just playing!"
"Hmm, who is she Mom? She looks like Mom"
Hiole froze for a moment when she saw the 2 little girls behind Fiora. And kept spinning her mind.
"Who are they?"
"Ah, they are my adopt-"
Just before finishing her words, Hiole immediately grabbed Fiora's shoulders tightly.
"Could it be that you are married?!! and you already have 2 children?! how can you not invite me to your wedding?!!"
"Ahh.. calm down, Mom. No marriage"
"Eh?"
I told about how I adopted Nina and Nisa as my adopted child, of course, I have a good reason. Their mother is very similar to me, like a twin, no. Maybe like the same person.
At first, Mother had a hard time accepting it, but when Nina and Nisa called her grandma she forgot her doubts for a while ago.
Mother was very happy when she played with them, and strangely enough. Why did you dare to come here? I mean can't humans be near her?
"By the way, how did mom... get out...your power"
"Hmm, this is a technique I created intending to suppress my strength so that I can suppress 98% of my power."
"Even so, I can still feel Mother's uncontrollable magical energy"
"Yeah that's how it is, I'm still not used to doing that"
We went for walks in the city together, and spent time together, even though I shouldn't be relaxing right now.
I'm always thinking about how things are in the world there, always hoping that they're all right, Demi-god, the bastard who brought me to this world, hearing his name just makes my blood boil with emotion.
"By the way, do Nina and Nisa want to stay at my palace?"
"Mom are you sure?"
"Yeah, they'll definitely like it!"
However, Nina and Nisa quickly refused, leaving Hiole discouraged.
"Why?"
"We want to stay with Mom"
"Yeah, we want to be with mom forever"
Hiole thought for a while, and then came up with an answer.
"It's fine if you say so...From now on I will live with you!"
"Eh?"
