章 33: Smiles and flowers
-- POV Freya --
Our meal consisted of bread, dried meat, cheese and some cakes. All of this food had been bought by Gaya and Shiro a few hours ago. The three of us were sitting on the grass near the road eating and enjoying the green landscape. Everything was very good and the setting was ideal, which seemed to make the meal even more divine.
*How I love this serenity, away from everything...*
[It's really nice indeed. But I never thought I'd hear you say that.]
*Well, now that I have a daughter and a fiancée, what I want most is to keep them safe from blood and war and live a happy life.*
[I hope you can do it...]
*Of course ! Sigh...but there is still a long, loong way to go. After I set up my kingdom in the forest, I'll have to develop it, build it, run it, not to mention the humans who will surely come in legions once the news spreads. But I am determined to rule without fear and with unfailing determination ! Little sister, the day we are all finally free from the selfishness of mankind, I swear that you will stand by us !*
[Onee-san...thanks...thanks for everything.]
*You don't have to thank me, it's normal and it's my role as a big sister to look after you too and make you happy kufufu~*
Kira didn't say anything more and I knew she was very moved by my statement. I wanted her to stand beside me and enjoy what I was going to build, what WE were all going to build. Together, as a family.
Wanting to leave Kira alone for a while, I looked at my little moon who had finished eating and was taking the opportunity to discover the surroundings. Shiro had never left the city so she was running around with a bright smile on her face, absolutely amazed by everything around her.
"Wow look there is so much grass ! And there full of flowers, I had never seen some like that ! Everything is so beautiful here, it's amazing mom, Gaya hihi~!"
We were watching her with Gaya while she was frolicking in the nature like a little fairy dressed in a white dress. I then decided to get a little closer to the dragoness to talk to her.
"I think this little girl has been brightening our days every day since she's been with us."
"It's true...she's amazing and even though I'm not her mother I can't help but be proud."
As she said her words, a soft smile appeared on her sun-kissed face.
"Gaya...do you consider her your daughter ?"
I had asked her the question without really thinking, but I was still curious as to what she might answer.
"Well...I...yes."
She seemed embarrassed to admit it, like she had no right to come between us but I couldn't see why. She had been with her as much as I had and even if I was the reason for her arrival, it didn't mean anything. I was even sure that Shiro also considered her as a kind of second mother. Wanting to test my theory, I then called my daughter to Gaya's astonishment.
"Yes mommy ?"
"Tell me sweetie, what does Gaya mean to you ?"
"Uh.... she is like my second mommy ! Why ? Isn't that right ?"
The dragoness was surprised and moved by little Shiro's statement and couldn't help but bring a hand to her mouth to show that she was touched. I was glad that she knew that Shiro considered her as such even though she and I had a special connection.
"No no it's fine my little moon, you can keep playing."
She ran off again to go pick some flowers while I turned back to a tearfully moved Gaya.
"You see...we are a family."
I dipped my gaze into hers as she blushed intensely again. I couldn't get enough of that expression that made me want to see more. How far could she resist ? My thoughts were flooded with this question as I stared at her face. I had planned to use this trip to clarify my feelings for her and that's what I was doing. By multiplying situations similar to this morning I hoped to understand my heart a little more.
"You...you really mean it ?"
Gaya asked me with bright, eager eyes.
"Ara ara~ obviously !"
I still wasn't 100% sure what my feelings were, but I didn't want to leave her with nothing until I made up my mind. I then leaned over to her to place a kiss on her soft, rosy cheek. Gaya, taken by surprise, let out an absolutely adorable little cry and looked at me without a word, red as a tomato.
*Kufufufu~ Long live surprise attacks !*
The dragoness still didn't speak as I leaned over to whisper softly in her ear.
"At the end of this little journey I promise to give you my answer Gaya"
After giving her a little mischievous wink, I stood up to go and join Shiro who was walking away from us without noticing. I left the dragoness there, who seemed to have entered a second state.
[Onee-san you could be less aggressive haha~!]
I smiled slightly after hearing Kira, I knew that I was maybe too enterprising and that I should ask her first, but I couldn't hold myself back. Reaching Shiro's level, I could see that she had made a beautiful bouquet with all the flowers that lined the floor.
"Mom look ! I made a beautiful bouquet to decorate the carriage and maybe I can even make Mr. Horse look better ! Do you think he'll accept a flower ?"
As she asked me the question she gave me a little worried expression at the thought of the horse not accepting her gift. She was so innocent that I had to save her from all the cruelty in this world.
Taking her in my arms and placing a kiss on her forehead, I reassured her.
"Sweetie of course he will accept your flower ! Who could refuse a gift from such a cute little girl !? I would almost eat you !"
I began to guiltily rub her belly as I said this making her squirm with laughter.
"Hahaha~ mommy stop ! Hahaha~"
Her laughter rose into the blue sky and filled our souls with intense, indescribable happiness and joy. It soothed my heart and mind, making me want to stop time so that this moment would never fade.
After i finished teasing her, we went back to the carriage to put away the things from the meal. Shiro wanted to help us despite the fact that I told her she didn't have to, so the three of us got busy after lunch. I then explained to them what was going to happen next by handing a cake to my little Shiro.
"We will soon be on the road again and then tonight we will find a place to sleep. Let's enjoy this place a little more before we leave because we won't stop until night."
I wanted to move as fast as possible without rushing them too much because the more time passed the more likely the humans would capture those who were still at large and whom I wanted to take as subordinates.
[Don't worry onee-san, I'm sure we'll arrive in time to raise your army !]
*Mmh, but you know how much I like to control everything, so the idea that an unknown variable could act while I'm not there yet..aarrg*
In my head I was still running countless simulations to cover all possibilities, but not having all the information prevented me from being able to concoct the perfect, foolproof plan.
*Once there, and with the races ready to follow me, I'm sure I can come up with a plan that will allow us all to free the forest of the humans that are there now, without a single death !*
[That would be great !]
During my long experience in the underbelly of Tokyo among the criminals, I had used my brain as much as my physical and verbal abilities. What made me a leader and will make me an Empress is the ability to excel in everything. The warrior should never underestimate the tactician and the tactician should never underestimate the warrior. At the time, with this mentality in mind I honed all my abilities whether they were mental, physical or intellectual. Whether it was strategy, knowledge or combat, I distinguished myself everywhere, because for me it was the very essence of a leader...of an Empress.
*Once I get there and find my army, the game will already be won !*
As I was thinking about this, a small voice woke me up from my thoughts. It was Shiro who had finished eating her dessert.
"Mom can I go give the flower to Mr. Horse ? He finished eating the hay I put on him earlier hihi~!"
Understanding that I must be talking to Kira, Gaya took the opportunity to answer.
"I'll go with you, right now your mom is busy ! Can I go with you ?"
"Yes yes !"
They both left in the direction of the horse to give him Shiro's flower while I stayed there contemplating the sky and thinking again about my relationship with Gaya. Still so many unanswered questions at the moment.
*Why do I always want to see her blushing ? Why am I always aggressive when I see her smile ? I don't remember being like that despite my personality. And why was my heart beating so fast for no reason ?*
[So many questions but unfortunately I don't have the answer. On the other hand, your aggressiveness may be explained by your course. You are a she-wolf and coupled with your power and personality you have all the makings of an alpha male my dear sister !]
*Pffffhahaha~*
[I'm not kidding onee-san ! You're not human anymore so you can't expect to have the same reactions in the same situations. You have wolf instincts and not just any wolf, a powerful and unique wolf in this world. I think what you're experiencing right now is..how to say this ? uh...a wild and primitive desire].
As I heard these words I thought to myself that she was right. My naturally dominant personality coupled with my course made me much more aggressive than if I had been on Earth, but I wouldn't try to suppress that side of me. I was like that and I would stay that way no matter what anyone said.
*Do you think that this bothers Gaya ? I don't want to be accused of harassment !*
[Onee-san..tell me..you do not observe well, right...?]
*Eh ? Why is that ?*
[I noticed it from the beginning but...Gaya is already madly in love with you idiot !]
*I...how could you even know that ?*
[Sigh...I may not know anything about romantic love because I've never felt it, but I can assure you that it's true. Didn't you see how she blushes ? How she looks at you ? How her eyes shine when she looks into yours ?]
*Mmmh. Well, if you're convinced of that, I believe you ! On the trip later I'll test your theory and I think it might be interesting...*
[Sigh...if your life had been a story, readers would have laughed at this imposing, powerful empress with a celestial beauty unable to understand that the one accompanying her is in love with her pfffhaha~]
"Oi ! I discover all this for the first time, I am already busy understanding my own feelings ! And then I'm sure that if these readers had existed they would have been lenient with me don't you think ? kufufufu~*
[Obviously aha~ those who would agree to read your story could only be good people !]
*That said a story about me would be...weird, wouldn't it ?*
[Why is that ? Your life is full of blood, twists and turns, love and adventures, you'd be the perfect main character !]
*Do you think so ? And what the hell would the story be called anyway huh ?*
[Mmmh..if I were the writer I think I would call it "The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya" !]
*Oh that sounds good ! So I hope one day someone will tell my story to the world haha~!*
I could almost see Kira smile fondly as she whispered those words.
[One day maybe onee-san...]
