Once again on egg-laying duty.
Contrary to what so may expect, after all this ti of getting used to this sort of thing happening on the regular, this is still nothing I'm comfortable with my mother being present at.
While it has to comnce, I think I deserve a basic degree of privacy.
However, as I just at the worst mont realize that Kyska, for so reason, left my side without noticing, I sadly only have one person I can rely on.
"Relax, Ery. LEt iet flow. Calm." (F)
Yes, my mum was the only princess-qualified laying session expert available.
She gathered experience during her ti with Honiu.
Now she applies what she learned on .
Oh god, am I embarrassed!
However, she does a decent job.
Quickly, enough nurses gather under her command to take care of my needs.
She even assigns two to massage my wings.
"Scrrrrr"
"Plop, plop, plop"
Concerningly this manipulation even works to get more relaxed, despite the general situation that I'm giving rapid birth to giant insects in front of my mum.
"I know thies isn't easy, Ery, but you're doing wEll." (F)
Sigh.
No choice but to push through this.
It seems I stored quite a few eggs along with my frustration, as it seems to go on forever.
It's a miracle that I didn't bloat with what I had in there.
To the end, I once again beco aware of how important Kyska is for usually dealing with my issues.
I really should learn to pay more attention to soone who is so important to .
If she just wouldn't be such a silent presence all the ti.
This trail of thoughts makes perk up all the stronger when I wake up to find her at my side again.

She apologizes.
Should I be worried?
(E)
(K)
I don't bla her for not lying to the queen, but it makes concerned about what she might've told her.

On the way, Kyska guides , and I once again beco aware of the massive structure that Honiu built below Valera.
The sheer number of halls, caverns, tunnels, and chambers that were established is just as incredible as it is distressing, considering that none of this existed a few weeks ago.
This thought only intensifies by a magnitude once we reach a ridiculously spacious path.
This one is covered on all sides by tiny tunnels.
Quickly I realize that this must've been the way the queen ca through.
Given our destination, this only makes sense.
Just to say, the hall that marks said destination is nonetheless impressive.
But probably not as much as its newest inhabitant.
(U)
Not like I had much of a choice.
Refusing the summons of the most powerful being in the country, both above and below ground, would be sheer folly.
(E)
(U)
Sure.
Once again the queen wants sothing.
Sothing that can’t be said in front of others regarding an issue involving …
No, I'm not the slightest bit freaked out here!
(E)
(U)
At this she sends a pheromone signal that suddenly gets caught and amplified by countless ssengers I didn't notice were on the ceiling till this point.
A mont later, drones stream into the hall, from everywhere around us.
From their pheromone mark, I directly know that every single one of them is... my brood.
Thousands upon thousands of them!
Workers, guardians, ssengers, nurses, and not to forget my royal guard.
WHAT HAPPENED TO "IN A CONTROLLED MANNER"?!!
(U)
My thoughts flash back to what occurred with Honiu’s brood when she displeased the queen.
She wouldn’t do that to mine…
Would she?
No, she said she wasn’t going to punish .
(E)
(U)
What's worse than the words and situation are only the pheromones in the air, designed to make feel guilty.
That they're genuinely reciprocated by my brood doesn't make this any easier.
Nor does the underlying fear that I sense from them.
