So, you have to go out again? asked Lucia, with a soft sight. She gently patted Nona, who was in her arms: Did you not say that you wouldnt be leaving again? I thought you were serious. I guess that ans I was stupid for believing you.
I smiled helplessly. Then, I touched Lucias head. I looked at the ahoge on Lucias head twitch and explained, Sorry, Lucia. I promise that I wont be going anywhere dangerous this ti, though. Im not going to so strange place, either. I promise Ill be in the North. Im just heading northwest.
Lucia didnt buy any of it. She then sighed again: Your Highness, do you still not understand? It doesnt matter where you go. Once you leave, youll definitely be at risk I wont stop you this ti, either, but I hope you bring Ying with you.
Is Ying already capable of being a bodyguard?
I was quite surprised. I wasnt inford of Yings situation. She was still training with Tanya. Honestly, the two of them were very compatible. Because Tanya was a child, the majority of people disrespected her to a degree. However, as she was the captain, they had to respect her on a surface level; they couldnt get serious when a kid was imposing upon them. Yings case was different, though. Ying was a serious girl; therefore, she acknowledged Tanya as her leader for as long as Tanya was her captain. Further, she genuinely respected her on the surface and deep down. Tanya was also very happy to be respected, so the two of them would get along very well.
Although she hasnt completely graduated, Ying can counter magical species. So accordingly, by bringing Ying along, you will be safer if you run into magical species.
Lucia sighed, and then looked at with a hopeless expression. She seed to have completely given up on dissuading . The worst insult a man could suffer is making his wife reveal an expression of utter despair as Lucia did. I sighed. I gently hugged my wife. Nona, who was between us, looked at Lucia and I with a smile. If my mory does justice, that was the first ti we were so close.
Nona reached out to grab our chests. She giggled and tried to get to co closer. Unfortunately, I was going to have to leave her behind for so ti. I gave Nona a kiss on her forehead: If we were in the past, Id definitely bring Ying, but I cant bring her this ti. Ill bring Dragon Mom this ti. You should know that dragons are the strongest species, so Ill definitely be safe.
Lucia smiled: I feel more reassured after hearing that. With that said, Your Highness, you still havent told where you are going. Is there so secret place in the North that you cant tell about or are you going to search for another woman? I am at my limit with that, you know? Your children are this old already, so if you go out there and ss around with more won, youre ridiculous.
I shook my head with a hopeless smile: Lucia, I will never do that again. I will never hurt you again. I dont have the foggiest idea as to where Im going this ti. More precisely, Im not sure of the exact location. All I know is that Im heading sowhere northwest. Im going to search for Dragon Moms dragon kin. Im searching for the dragons in the N-
Stop!! yelled Lucia, with a frown before I could finish.
Nona wasnt the only one who was frightened, because I was startled, too. Lucia continued in a loud voice, Are you out of your mind?! The dragon race is the elven races fiercest nesis! Do you not know that already?! The dragon race is very dangerous for male elves, such as you!! Countless elves have died to them. Dragons are elves born nesis! We even designated their territory out as out of bounds, yet here you are approaching them on your own accord?! Are you crazy?!
No I an, youre right But look at Dragon Mom. I dont think its that dangerous
Queen Sylvanas is a different sort of dragon! If you and Queen Sylvanas werent related, do you not think that she wouldve killed you?!
Lucia had always viewed dragons as very dangerous existences. It was only fair, though, as all elves consider dragons to be dangerous wild beasts. After all, they had always been at odds with dragons. Dragons had victimised countless elves. As a pure-blooded elf, it was only natural that she was afraid of dragons. I didnt consider them that scary, nevertheless.
I dont think theyre that frightening
I cant stop you if you insist on going, but I adamantly ask that you take Ying with you. Ying is the only person who can slay dragons. Furthermore, if you see a dragon, can you guarantee that Queen Sylvanas will stay on your side? If the dragons attack you, who will Queen Sylvanas help? asked Lucia. Stern, she continued, Perhaps I sound as though I am crossing the line by saying this, but nonetheless, you must be wary of dragons. They have always been a race that attacked us, and that fact still stands. Normally speaking, there are only two sorts of people who would search for dragons. The first type is the type who wants to slay a dragon. The other is those who no longer want to live. You have children now. What need is there for you to go there?
Lucia sounded truly very vigilant and prejudice against the dragon race. I think Lucia would consider it for the best if Dragon Mom wasnt in the North. I sighed and touched her head. In a soft voice, I said, Its fine, its fine
Thats your attitude every ti!! exclaid Lucia, before I could finish. You do this ti and ti again. You always try to placate with gentle words, and then run into danger. In the end, Im left worried sick! This attitude of yours angers , but what can I do?!! Im your wife! All I can do is wait here! You never just go and do things; instead, you tell first, and then you leave worried by myself!! You always say, its all right, its all right. You think that puts at ease?! Ive told you before, but you refuse to listen to ! I tell you its dangerous, but you insist on going!! You dont care about anything!! Were never part of your concerns!!
Lucia literally roared out all of her inner thoughts. Once she was done shouting, I was truly scared shed throw Nona straight onto the ground in her emotional state. However, she continued to tightly hug her daughter and sit onto the bed. She looked away. I walked over to her. Nona looked at her mom fearfully. She reached out to , wanting to go to . Lucia wouldnt let go, though. I pressed my hand on Lucias shoulder. Before I could speak, she spoke out first, albeit facing her back to : Sorry, Your Highness, I got a little bit too worked up I got a bit too wilful Your Highness. I am your wife I already feel very blissful that I got to marry you I cant ask for so much If you have to consider things out there and us at the sa ti, you wont be able to do anything. You just have to do what you want to do. Im happy as long as you can co back. I will wait for your return here I just want you to co back.
I couldnt hold my feelings in anymore, so I pulled her into my embrace. I tightly hugged her from behind and stroked her face. I could feel her cold tears on my hands. Lucia bit down on her lip to avoid her sobs being heard while she finished what she wanted to say. I subconsciously hugged her and rested my head on her shoulder, Lucia Please dont be so understanding, okay? It hurts so much when youre so understanding How can I leave when youre so understanding? Sorry Lucia I know that its aningless for to say any more I know that my apology is pointless, but I can promise that Ill be back as soon as I can, and I promise to co back safe and sound. I will definitely return to you and our girls!
Im not understanding Im not Im your wife So I should think this way and do this Im your wife, so I must ensure everything I do is for you replied Lucia. Her body quivered a little, but she remained in my arms. In a soft voice, she carried on, Im your wife Im now the wife of the Prince I love most Thats why I must do whats best for you But why? Why? Why do I feel that life has beco tougher after marrying you?
Sorry
I dont want to hear your apology It makes sound as though Im burdening you
Lucia turned her head around to gently kiss my lips. She then pushed my arms away and stood up. She placed Nona into her crib. Being sleepy, Nona yawned, and then shut her eyes. She grabbed onto her sisters arm.
Lucia gently stroked her daughters heads and, with her back facing , said, What can I do? I love you too much. I know I should be angry about these things. I know that I should be angry about you not being considerate of . But despite that, my mind is blank when I see you. I just want to be by your side I feel Im already living in bliss when I think about my current circumstance Therefore, I cant think of anything. Your Highness, you must be careful out there You must co back, Your Highness, you must. My Prince Safe travels.
Uhm.
I got to my feet and gave Lucia a light hug. She had suffered too much. She went through so much for my sake. It was ti she experienced bliss, yet I kept taking advantage of her love and patience. As long as she was by my side, however, shed be able to wait forever and love forever.
Ive never disappointed you, Lucia. Never.
