บท 568: WHOSE BABY IS IT?

"P-PRINCESS NEOMA, what happened to you…?"

"I became a cute baby again," Neoma answered Paige's question calmly. "I lost Tteokbokki, my Spirits, and my ability to create barriers. I'm not fine, but I don't have the luxury to grieve."

She wasn't being sarcastic to her "children."

If she said that she was fine, she would only make them worry about her even more because they knew she couldn't be fine in her current state.

Hence, she decided to be honest.

In that way, her "children" could easily believe the assurance that she would give them.

"But even if I feel like shit right now for failing to protect my people, I'm still fine," Neoma said firmly. "My head is still clear, and I'm only looking at what I could right now instead of what I could have done. And even though I turned into a baby, I don't feel like my life is threatened in any way. It's inconvenient, but it's not that bad."
