In a concerned tone, Lucia asked, “Is it really all right, Your Highness? I won’t be in the imperial palace… Will the girls… be all right…? Also… will you be all right without me?”

I shook my head and touched Lucia’s head with a smile: “We’ll be fine, Lucia . You’ve just returned, so you should spend a night at home . Leave Vera and Nona to the maids . They’ll be fine . Moreover, Mommy Vyvyan will keep an eye on them; don’t worry . As for me… I, indeed, have a bit of a problem . ”

Lucia came closer to inspect me: “What is the problem, Your Highness? Tell me whatever problem it is that you have, and I shall help you . ”

I pulled little Lucia into my embrace with one arm . I stroked her head and, in a tender voice, responded, “I’ll miss you . It’s not every day that we can return home, so I want to spend more time with you . Since you’re leaving, I’ll feel very lonely . I can’t stop you from spending time with your parents, either; therefore, all I can do is hope that you can come back sooner . I’ll miss you . ”

“Your Highness…” Lucia shyly, yet happily, snuggled up on my chest . She then raised her head and gave me a light kiss on my cheek . She smiled: “I’ll be back tomorrow, Your Highness . ”

“All right . ”

I touched Lucia’s head again . Echte came up from behind as I touched her head . I waved . Lucia went off with her father, but she’d look back three times every step . She’d walk backwards if she could .

Lucia’s house wasn’t located inside the elven imperial city, because a maid and an imperial guard wouldn’t earn enough to afford a property in the imperial city . Additionally, Echte had a family and, therefore, couldn’t live in a dorm . Hence, they had no choice but to live in the residential district outside of the city .

Echte’s family members were all simple and honest people . Despite having become a member of the Galadriel Tribe, they didn’t throw their weight around . To the contrary, they continued to work and live humbly . They never leveraged their daughter to request Queen Vyvyan for anything .

I only reluctantly turned around after Lucia completely disappeared from sight . It was a rare opportunity for Lucia to be back in the elven lands, and her parents wanted to have a family reunion with their daughter . That being the case, I couldn’t force her to remain in the imperial palace the entire stay . She was going to be back tomorrow .

There was only Mommy Vyvyan and I in the imperial palace for the day… If we were in the past, I wouldn’t be so worried . At this point, it was nothing short of a nightmare…  I prayed Mommy Vyvyan would bear in mind the ordeal I just went through and show mercy .

I didn’t plan to do anything for the meantime . The palace was quiet . My girls started crying as soon their mother left . Worried they could sense their mother’s departure or were hungry, I went to my girls’ room .

Mommy Vyvyan arrived before me . She was gently carrying Vera . Vera was in the midst of patting Mommy Vyvyan’s chest, while Nona was nonchalant, albeit jealous of her sister, who was being held . I went over to them . Mommy Vyvyan smiled when she saw me: “Vera is a hungry . ”

“I’ll go c-“

“No need, Son . Help me undo the tie at the back . ”

Mommy Vyvyan gently brushed her long blonde hair aside, thereby revealing her neck and the tie around her back . I lingered for a moment before questioning, “Mom, are you going to personally feed Vera?”

Mommy Vyvyan smiled: “It’s fine . Did you forget, Son? You used to help me out . This is fine . Feeding Vera and Nona won’t be a problem . ”

I had a glimpse of Mom’s majestic peaks and then nodded . I bet Mommy Vyvyan could’ve raised two kids and still had extra nourishment to spare . There was a hint of eagerness in Mommy Vyvyan’s gaze . Meanwhile, Vera was eager to have a meal . She probably didn’t care if it was her mom or not at that point . Frankly, the woman in front of her was her true mother . Perhaps it was due to their blood relation that Vera and Vyvyan seemed to be closer .

I walked up behind Mommy Vyvyan and undid the tie on her back . I didn’t forget to lock the door to prevent anybody finding out . When I turned my head around again, Mommy Vyvyan had already revealed her ample jugs without any misgivings . Her lifespan was still a mysterious number . Interestingly, up until then, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s had maintained their perfect shape and condition . Vera bit down on Vyvyan’s nipple without any hesitation and then began to happily suckle .

Mommy Vyvyan watched Vera with a gentle smile . I sat to one side . I silently watched the two and the afternoon sunlight s.h.i.+ning down on the two of them, which also made Mom’s blonde hair even more luminous . Mommy Vyvyan’s skin faintly glowed . She looked so gentle and loving that she was as captivating as an angel . Vera silently suckled with an affectionate smile . I suddenly realised that they were my family . I was looking at my wife and daughter .

I hugged Mom from behind . She didn’t move; instead, she giggled . Worried that Vera would be disturbed, she whispered in my ear, “What’s wrong, Son? You want some, too? You might have to wait until tomorrow, then; otherwise, Nona won’t have enough . ”

“No, Mom, I just want to hug you . ”

“I see . ”

Mommy Vyvyan nodded . Vera released her nipple . Mom then wiped Vera’s mouth . She looked over her shoulder to me with a smile . I gently sucked Mom’s finger that had both the taste of Mom and Vera . Mom giggled then pulled finger out and patted my face: “Naughty boy . ”

Despite saying that, Mom then dipped her finger into her mouth and had a suck before turning to set Vera down . Then, she picked up Nona, but Nona appeared to be a little resistant to her . In the end, however, Nona enthusiastically had her meal .

Once Vera was full, she looked at me . I poked her belly, which made her giggle . She tried to grab my finger with her tiny hands . I laughed and began to play with her .

Nona didn’t feed for long . She also turned her head away and ignored Mommy Vyvyan . Perhaps it really was true that Vera and Vyvyan were closer due to their blood relations.h.i.+p . Mommy Vyvyan then stood up . She brushed her hair again: “Son, help Mommy tie it back up . ”

“Sure . ”

I helped Mom tie up the string . Mom’s exposed back was right in front of my eyes . She took her time feeling the sensation of my finger sliding along and my warmth: “Son, if the two of us were to start a family, Mommy thinks that we would have a blissful life, as well . ”

“Mom!”

Mommy Vyvyan didn’t mind my tone . Instead, she responded in all seriousness, “I genuinely believe that . At least, Mommy thinks that this is bliss . ”
