Chapter 531 - Evroria City Tour
Chapter 531 - Evroria City Tour
"And what kind of request is that?" Nell inquired.
"I want..." Luna raised her palm and pointed it at Elysia. "I want she to be my daughter. Saa, now, please call me mama~"
"M-me, me?" Elysia widened her eyes and pointed at her own face. She didn't know why this Fox Empress was still sticking with the request a few days ago.
"That's not me-me, but ma-ma." Luna wiggled her finger left and right.
"M-mother!? Why do you want a human girl as your foster daughter? Are you dissatisfied to have me as your daughter?" Lynn stood up and exclaimed with a grievance look. It was like she would be replaced by someone else in her mother's eyes.
"Ah, my silly daughter. You're thinking too far. You're still my precious little baby. But isn't it a great thing to have one or five sisters?" Luna beckoned her daughter to return to her side.
"Why is it one or five?" Lynn sat back down. She stared at that black-haired human girl, but she couldn't see anything special about that girl other than something like a lovely signature scent.
"Maa, there's no need to rush to build our relationship. You just need to start by calling me mama~" Luna put her hands together and tilted it slightly.
"..." Nell and Rhea looked at Elysia. They couldn't do anything now but ask Elysia to decide.
However, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared behind Elysia. It took the form of a golden-haired Celestial Goddess in a golden white dress.
"Hum, so you still insist on your previous request, huh... What are you asking for not just a formality?" Elena looked down at the Fox Empress.
"Mm, yes... Your precious disciple Elysia has such great appeal to anyone who can see it further. Please don't misunderstand the meaning of my request, O the Goddess of Light." Luna smiled and covered her mouth with her hand.
"You mean you want protection from us, yes?" Elena didn't change her expression one bit, but she had a brief discussion with Elysia about this matter.
"That's an unpleasant use of the word. One thing I hope is to look after Elysia like my daughter. That way, it's only natural for me to spoil her and she give her filial piety in return." Luna set her hands on the table and pointed at Elysia. "Do you understand me, Elysia?"
"I see... You've asked the same thing before, and I've agreed to it. However, I realize that what you're asking for right now is an acknowledgment from me and not just a formality. Am I right up here?" Elysia read the Fox Empress' expression and the truth inside. She wanted to know whether this fox lady had bad intentions or not.
"You can put it like that." An overflow of joy rose from inside Luna's heart because she could feel that Elysia would give a yes, and she knew it.
"Okay, regardless of the formality, you can treat me as your foster daughter and I'll see you as my foster mother in return. However, I can only address you as auntie. Is that okay?" Elysia answered with an innocent and faint smile.
The corner of Luna's lips twitched slightly. For some reason, she didn't really like being called auntie. However, she knew that she couldn't force Elysia to call her mama. No, not now.
Because of that, she only smiled back at Elysia. "Alright, for now, that's enough for me."
After saying that, Luna muttered so softly under her breath. "It's just a matter of sooner or later~"
"Hmm." Elena was quite satisfied with the result. She was aware that this Fox Empress was only asking for protection behind that kind of request.
Even so, Elysia was just reluctant to treat anyone like a parent for some reason. After all, the current one was definitely not as simple a formality as the previous request.
"Alright, now, the conditions are met. My daughter and I will go with you to help you with your noble mission. However, before that, it's a good thing if you enjoy the charms of my Evroria City to unwind after a few days of adventure. me to use that time to prepare for our departure." Luna put her hands together and announced.
"That's fine on our side. You and your daughter can go and prepare. We'll be back in two hours." Rhea decides for all.
"Ah, no, no. That would make me a bad host. Well, let's put it this way, my daughter will guide you around town while I prepare everything. After that, please come back here in two hours. How about it?" Luna shook her head slowly and gave another suggestion.
Rhea looked at each individual in her group. Realizing that no one objected, she simply gave a nod of agreement. "In that case, alright."
"All right, my daughter Lynn, please accompany and guide our distinguished guests around the city. You also need to get to know your new sisters~ With that being said, allow me to excuse myself." Having said that, Luna stood up and bowed slightly to the distinguished guests before she left for the door.
Oceanid simply provided a way out for the fox lady to leave so she wouldn't have to hit the wall.
"Wa- wait..." Lynn reached out her hand, but her mother had already run away from the scene. She did want to meet this divine group, but that didn't mean she was ready to be left alone with them all of a sudden like this!
"Ah, err... I am Lynn Evroria. It is an honor to be present before you all. Please forgive my mother's behavior." Lynn folded her hands in her lap and bowed slightly in the introduction.
"Mhm... Your mother has conveyed her intentions to us on previous occasions. I just hope she doesn't pull the trigger that would put us on opposite sides." Elena folded her arms under her breasts to look at this snow fox girl.
At first glance, this one was more pleasing to the eyes than that scheming fox lady.
"Ah, no, that won't happen. I will vouch for it. My mother didn't do anything beyond her limits. She knows what she is doing and nothing of it will harm anyone in your divine group." Lynn immediately gave her reassurance for fear of misunderstanding.
"Good. Now, please guide the way." Elena gave an approving nod.
"Then, allow me to guide and accompany you on a two-hour city tour. Please follow me." Lynn gulped her saliva from nervousness. Even so, she was being professional because her mother arbitrarily delegated everything to her.
After Lynn stood up, the others also followed the soul fox girl to the palace exit. A large carriage with four burly white horses was waiting for them, and a female royal guard was nearby.
"Hi, good morning, Princess Lynn. I've been waiting for your arrival. Oh~" A bunny girl raised her hand in greeting. However, she was stunned with her mouth wide open to see the distinguished guests behind the princess.
"Why do you look so surprised like that, Yusagi. Wasn't my mother the one who asked you to wait for us here?" Lynn waved her hand in front of the girl's stunned face.
"Ahem, uhum, please forgive my unprofessional attitude. Then, allow me to be your coachman for your tour. Please tell me where we are going and we will be there." Yusagi cleared her throat and gave a respectful bow.
"Mhm, please get into the horse carriage, distinguished guests." Lynn pointed her palm at the carriage entrance and stood beside it.
"Can everyone get into that horse-drawn carriage?" Sylvia wondered. She looked at her wings for a moment. Well, she needed more space for that.
"The interior of this horse-drawn carriage is fifteen square meters. I think everyone will fit." Lynn counted everyone and glanced at the carriage one more time.
"Then I'll be sitting by the window!" Sylvia was the first to get into the horse carriage.
"That girl..." Yuuki heaved a subtle sigh and gave a gesture for Elysia to enter first. She then entered right after and was followed by the others. Lynn was the last to enter.
"We're ready to go. Princess Lynn, where are we going?" Yusagi opened the small window behind the coachman's seat.
"Take us on a tour of the downtown area. I'll let you know if the distinguished guests decide to stop over somewhere." Lynn replied casually.
"Understood." Yusagi gave a salute and closed the small window. After that, the white horses pulled the carriage.
"Uhm, excuse me, are you a dragon?" Lynn opened a conversation. She had so many questions that arose out of her curiosity.
"I'm actually a devil. If you're looking for a dragon, then it's him." Sylvia pointed at Gio and looked out the window again. She was enthusiastic about several things.
"..." Lynn looked at the little brown tortoise, then at the dragon-like girl. She didn't know why this dragon-like girl claimed to be a devil. No matter how she tried to look at them, the former was definitely a little beast, and the latter was the dragonkin.
"Nice to meet you, Princess Lynn. I am Elysia Avery. Sylvi is actually a half demonic dragon." Elysia gave a light greeting. She then reminded the devil girl. "Sylvi, where's your manners? Lynn wants to get to know you though?"
"Oh, so it's like that..." Lynn nodded in understanding.
"Ah, um, I'm Sylvia, Sylvia Transcendent. Nice to meet you, Lynn! You're extraordinarily polite and humble, unlike a certain snow fox girl." Sylvia instantly shook Lynn's hand in introduction.
"What do you mean by a certain snow fox girl, hmm?" Yuuki squinted her eyes. She felt a bit in a bad mood because she was forced to sit next to this devil girl.
"Ah, nothing, nothing, hehe…" Sylvia returned to her seat.
