Chapter 34: The Sweet Present (Part II)

"Mommy, Mommy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A slightly crying voice had just sounded from outside the door, and her daughter's petite body had already thrown herself into her arms.

"What's wrong? Ellie. Putting down the needle and thread in her hand, Emilia squatted down gently brushed away the child's tears with her left hand, and she was looking at her daughter with a smile in her eyes, who had become a mother.

Ellie, who is just seven years old this year, has a similar appearance to herself, with long straight silver hair tied into two ponytails by a purple headband, and black pupils like Arashi are Emilia's favorite color, as charming as the night sky.

In addition to not inheriting her father's good-looking eyebrows, Emilia felt that her daughter's appearance met all her expectations for life. This child, her angel, if only she could be less mischievous.

"Dad, he won't let me learn swords!" The aggrieved Ellie grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes with her little hands, and leaned on Emilia's arms with a wrinkled little face, "I don't want to play with dolls, Dad bullies people." ”

"Well, Ellie......" Emilia, who had probably guessed what had happened, patted her daughter's back with a little headache, "Because you're still young." Mom promises that when you grow up a little more, Mom will teach you magic, okay?"

"But I want to learn the sword. Ellie, who was as stubborn as she was in some aspect of her personality, pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Why can Leo learn?"

"Because Leo is a boy. Emilia reached out and pinched the corner of her daughter's mouth, "Ellie, how many times has Mom said that when you call Leo, you have to call your brother." ”

"But...... Grandma said that my mother conceived me first! So I'm older than Leo, and he should call me sister. Ellie blinked, innocent in her face.

"Mom. Speechless, Emilia looked at Fortuna, who was smiling at herself, the second mother in the room, Ellie's grandmother, a pure-blood elf.

"Ellie-chan, didn't grandma tell you that you weren't allowed to tell your mother about this!" Fortuna, who urgently changed the subject, humbly picked up her daughter's unfinished needle and thread.

"It's really ......" Emilia had to smile bitterly as she looked at her daughter in her arms, she should think about how to make this child understand the idea that elves have a longer pregnancy period than humans.

"Mom. The energetic Ellie didn't give her mother a chance to think, and continued to ask in a soft childish voice, "Grandma said that September 23rd this year is your coming-of-age day. What does that mean? ”

A surprised crimson appeared on ...... face of "Mama'", and Emilia complained to Fortuna again.

……

……

In the middle of a quiet forest, on a wide lawn.

"Are you ready? Leo. Arashi smiled and looked at the boy in front of him with a wooden sword. With her dazzling short blonde hair and determined red eyes, she always reminds Arashi of her wife.

"Yes, Dad. Leo nodded like a little adult, and for as long as he could remember, he had shown many similarities in his father's personality. Facial paralysis, woodenness, lack of speech, and an over-the-top obsession with the sword, the last point simply broke Priscilla's heart.

She has let Leo receive the elite education of the heir of the kingdom since she was a child, and she didn't know that the dumb fool said in front of her children: Your father is a swordsman unparalleled in the world. Allowing Leo's growth to deviate completely from Priscilla's plans.

"Your Highness, come on. Ronnie, who was waving the flag for the Queen's son as a guard, couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this scene.

Time is really too fast, just a blink of an eye, how many years have passed. Obviously, it feels like the birth of the prince was yesterday, but now he can already be seen learning swordsmanship from his master.

"Drink. What distracted Ronnie's thoughts was Leo's snort, wielding his father's wooden sword, and the young man with great strides rushed towards Arashi. The short, bland battle rang out directly, and ended with Arashi's wooden sword striking Leo.

"Lan !!" Honglian, who had witnessed this scene, pulled out his chest and roared angrily. It swears that at this moment it is in the mood to tear apart its partner.

"Master!!" Ronnie also looked at the person he admired speechlessly, and subconsciously recalled the days when he was unilaterally trained by Lan.

There are also some Lan, who are not very suitable for teaching children swordsmanship, and touch their noses in embarrassment. He is also reviewing whether he is ending too quickly and whether it will hit Leo's self-confidence.

"Well done. After thinking for a long time, Arashi said to Leo, "If you can pay attention to your pace and your opponent's response, you will do better." ”

This idiot is hopeless. Hearing such words, Honglian couldn't help but sigh, have all these years been in vain?

"Very strong, Dad, you are really strong!" Leo, who had been keeping his head down so that people couldn't see his expression, suddenly raised his head with a radiant look and looked at Lan with excited eyes, "Dad, sooner or later, one day, I will defeat you." ”

"No way. Lan said directly without thinking, and then paused slightly, "But I'll look forward to it." ”

"Then I'm going to continue. Moving, Leo excitedly picked up the wooden sword on the ground, and the will revealed by his burning red eyes couldn't help but make people see Arashi's shadow from him.

"Come on. Lan gripped her sword and smiled, waiting for her lion cub to let out her own cry.

……

……

It's late at night. The inky blue sky is as if it has been washed by clear river water, clean and soft. On a moonless night, only the stars twinkled under the blue sky.

"Are the kids sleeping?" Arashi looked at Emilia who walked to the side, a white gauze skirt was slightly tucked up at the other party's graceful waist, and the girl who tied her hair into a ponytail around her left shoulder and hung down on her chest, looked like she had the gentle charm of an adult woman,

"Yes. Emilia smiled and nodded, and walked into Arashi's arms and hugged each other gently.

"What's wrong?Bad mood?" Stroking the girl's smooth back, after years of companionship, Arashi felt his wife's abnormality, "Ellie is crying with you again?"

"Yes. In response, Emilia rested her head on Arashi's shoulder, as if greedy for the happiness of the moment.

Feeling the other party's low mood, Lan simply stopped talking, just silently circled the girl's waist, and told his wife with a body temperature close to each other, and his company.

The brief silence did not affect the atmosphere between the two, and a silent tenderness and emotion slowly emerged in such a quiet night.

"When I was little. Suddenly, Emilia recounted, "My biggest dream is to have a home of my own, a caring husband, and lovely children. ”

Although she didn't know why Emilia was talking about these topics, Arashi answered softly, and continued to wait for her wife's words.

Listening is more important than comforting, and all Lan can do is listen silently and then hug each other tightly.

"Thank you, Arashi. Thank you......" The girl who began to sobb inexplicably, her hands tightly gripping Arashi's back, "It would be nice if all this was true, and it would be nice if you didn't wake up." Ellie, I'm sorry! Mommy loves you so much. ”

As the girl cried, the evening breeze blowing in from the window suddenly stopped. (To be continued.) )
