Chapter 1975 - Little Boy and Girl (2) (1/2)

”Did you have fun?” Luna smiled, scooping the small bundle of joy that was Alauna into her frail arms. The little girl really was spoiled too much, wherever she went, she was showered with love.

Alauna wanted to reply with her usual enthusiastic yes, but for the first time, she looked back at her father with sad eyes. She wanted to say no, but she thought she would hurt Dyon's feelings if she did. She didn't want her father to think that she didn't like spending time with him.

Dyon smiled, rubbing her little head. ”It's okay, you can say no. Remember, honesty is important for a princess.”

Little Alauna relaxed under her father's assurance.

”Today was sad, momma. A lot of big boys cried today, but it wasn't a happy crying like daddy either.” Alauna large hazel-green eyes slightly watered, causing Dyon's heart to tighten.

But he shook his head, he knew he couldn't continue to be too soft. He saw Alauna as his heir. With how the martial world functioned, it was very possible he would never have another child in his lifetime. He didn't want to treat her with kid gloves just because she was his daughter or just because she was a girl.

He had meant what he said. If he told his little girl in one breath that women could be strong too, then treated her differently because she was one, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

Dyon also didn't want to raise a child who only knew how to rely on him. He would spoil Alauna with everything he had, but he also understood the value of being a bit hard hearted at times. Alauna was only just about to reach her second birthday, so Dyon wouldn't go too far in this regard, but he trusted his little girl to grow up strong.

Luna understood Dyon's intentions so only silently listened to Alauna's feelings. The little girl had a gift for storytelling, even making a question for painting colors seem lively. So, when she was talking about something that affected her deeply, though her vocabulary was simple, it had a way of making people feel how she felt.

”What do you think, Little Precious? How should big bad guys be dealt with?” Luna asked.

Alauna fell into silence, she didn't know how to answer. She could only pout.

”Why can't everybody just be good?” She said in a weak voice.

Dyon sighed inwardly.

”Come, that's enough for today. You wanted ice cream, right? Dad will take you little ones to go get ice cream.”

The seemingly depressed Alauna suddenly livened up, excitedly squirming in her mother's arms.
