423 The Mermaid Princess of Eclipse and Dawn (2/2)
”Let me see… my baby,” said Adelle.
”Of course, Adelle”
I gave Belle to Adelle as she glanced at her daughter with a warm look.
”So cute… You are a little princess, you know?” said Adelle, glancing at our daughter.
Belle's eyes were of different colors, but each one was curious about the world, inspecting everywhere.
”You're such a beautiful girl, Belle… To think that you can already open your eyes… Here, it is time to drink your milk…” said Adelle, revealing her breasts to Belle to drink milk.
Several Mermaid species breastfeed their children, although some species do not, they were usually in a minority and were mostly those who laid eggs.
Belle seemed doubtful about taking on Adelle's milk, but in the end, it accepted and began to fiercely drink it. It seemed to like it above everything else.
”Ouch… her bite is quite strong even without any teeth…” muttered Adelle.
”I think it because she evolved when you did, and her strength had become superhuman already… her amount of mana is overflowing everywhere as well, creating strange mirages of light and shadows,” I said, observing our surroundings, Belle was leaking a strange aura that created small mirages of dawns and eclipses…
”She is really very strong… perhaps the strongest merfolk ever born… aside from Gaby's twins,” said Adelle.
”Hm, another princess will join us now… Vudia and Adelle will be very happy with a little sister. Well, me as well… Belle-chan, your cheeks are so puffy~” said Amiphossia, while poking Belle's pale white cheeks.

Now that I think about it, I should also add the rest of my wives into the Kingdom System, and probably receive some prize as they have reached twenty…
Will it ask me to have thirty afterward? Does this system want me to have one hundred wives or something?
If I end up with that many, it will be hard to spend time with each one, I do not think I'll even add more in the meantime, I am happy with what I have now…
Though I remember saying the same thing before.
”I got some new Classes… and a title? Oh? Is this what the ones that give birth to your children get? What with this stupid System?! How dare it call my precious Belle a 'Chaos Bringer Children'?!” said Adelle, angered.
”I was angered as much as you before, I don't think that my precious children would bring 'much' chaos… It would be better to bring order and make a peaceful life. The System expects us to destroy the world or something” I said.
”T-That's a lot of responsibility already thrown into my daughter!” shouted Adelle.
”I know… But it's not something that will become the truth. I am here to change her fate and not let her do as 'fate' says so. Don't worry, my children will be born free from the restraints of fate and gods, above them all”
”Kireina… Well, such reassuring and firm words calmed me down a bit. I will trust you, my wife. After you have explained to me everything that you did back then, even to the point where you brainwashed those corrupted nobles and killed and ate Caspian and my ancestor, I've learned to trust you fully… Some people may seem such things as unrighteous or terrible, but we are not humans, after all, we are all monsters, and demi-humans are seen as monsters. I always disliked how much the Aquaria Kingdom tried to imitate human societies before, justice and righteousness are but tools to control the masses, not so different than your illusions. The difference is that you bring joy and fulfillment to your citizens, and the other only suffering”
Adelle became quite philosophical for a moment, but I understood what she said.
”I see… Thanks for trusting me and understand my point of view without clouding yourself with biases… Most of the citizens had their illusions already lifted off but had already accustomed themselves to the new government, and if they haven't protested yet is because they are living happily… or fear me” I said.
”Well, they can fear you all they want, they're living like kings anyways! Every citizen in this Empire has a large house with more than three floors, plenty of furniture, food, and even warm water! To top it all you distribute even more delicious food every day, there are always jobs for everyone and you have been recently reviving people that die in dungeons, exponentially lifting the danger of exploration, to begin with!”
”Ah, I can only revive them if they had died just recently, thankfully I've spread thousands of slime clones capable of capturing souls, so I just make them accumulate them and send them to the reviving center, where their corpses are moved to and healed,” I said.
”B-But that's a lot already! There may be such things in advanced human societies… but not to such an extent that it becomes a business! It's amazing!”
”I guess… I do not like to ask much money to people, as we have our banks filled with it already. So if they don't have the money to pay for I will still revive them and just wait for their fee later on when they earn more money… A-Anyways, I do not think we should be talking about such things”
”I-I guess so” muttered Adelle, releasing a light chuckle.
”I'm just happy that everything went well, now I am just filled with vigor because you feed me too much of your blood, so we will be talking the entire day! You like it or not!” said Adelle.
”Alright, I don't mind talking with you, you're my wife after all”
”D-Don't say such things! It's really flustering!” said Adelle, pouting while making her cheeks reddish.
Ah, she is also cute, isn't she?
”I also like to hear Adelle-san, she is a very talkative woman,” said Amiphossia, who had been silently drinking tea at our side.
”Uwah! D-Did you became a ghost for a moment, Amiphossia-chan? I didn't even know you were still here!” said Adelle, bewildered.
”Well, sometimes I convert my entire body in phantom to relax the tensions in my muscles, it's very useful,” said Amiphossia.
”I-I see… Hm?! Belle-chan?”
As we were having a nice conversation, Belle's aura began to shine brightly and at the same time to release strong darkness…
”T-That's… Divine Energy!” said Amiphossia.
”I can tell as well… So she had already begun to generate it…” I muttered.
”Ah, her aura is so… relaxing? I-I'm falling asleep…” said Adelle, falling asleep with Belle.
Well, this was unexpectedly expected…
