Chapter 25: Together! (2)
Jamie doubted his ears at Fyon's outrageous nonsense.
Bena's younger brother was born out of the blue?
Could it be possible to know such a thing all of a sudden right now?
It was the same with Bena who was confused.
"Pi, Pyon? It's a bit of a joke.
"I am not joking, Princess."
no no. That doesn't make sense. It's not that the dragon asks for it, it's suddenly a younger brother. No matter who hears it, doesn't it feel like a joke?"
That was correct.
Babies aren't made all at once, and when a little brother is born out of the blue, someone will say, 'Wow! Awesome!' Would you react?
Fyon nodded as if he understood.
"Does the princess know how Valkyrie is born?"
uh?
Come to think of it, I didn't hear how the Valkyrie was born.
Not a single Valkyrie has been born since Bena returned to the Queen's arms.
It was a simple reason.
Valkyries do not prosper through sexual intercourse adopted by normal creatures.
Initially, the Valkyries were all women.
Therefore, it was not a form of sharing love between men and women and having children, but a form of extracting Valkyrie factors and making seeds.
If you plant it in the soil in the 'Forest of Birth', flowers will grow and Valkyrie will be born there.
Usually the cycle is once every 10 years.
But the Queen is different.
The Queen's Son of Man is planted on a tree.
The so-called "white tree" is located deep in the forest of birth.
When the Son of Man was planted there, red flowers grew, and a princess was born there.
"It must have been seven years since the princess disappeared. We had almost given up on finding the princess. No matter how much I searched the world, I couldn't find it."
Gav, the warlock who kidnapped Bena, hid her so that the Valkyries would never find her.
So no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find it.
"The princess's absence was a serious situation for our people. Because the existence of the race was at stake. So the elders made a proposal to the queen."
It was the queen who supported the Valkyrie, but there were four elders who supported her.
Originally, the queen would have the greatest say, but at that time, the survival of the race was at stake.
The elders demanded that the queen make a new princess.
"At that time, even the Queen could not refuse. I planted the Queen's Son of Man on such a white tree... There was no reaction."
It was serious.
Usually, if the Queen's factor is planted on a white tree, the flowers will grow over 10 years.
However, there was no sign of the flower growing even though the factor was contained in the tree.
The whole Valkyrie trembled with anxiety.
The already closed race became more closed in those three years.
Fear of not being able to continue the bell engulfed the whole thing.
"At that time, when most of the Valkyries were giving up, the news came that the princess had been found."
Once again, the Valkyrie Princess was restored, and the Queen's Son of Man planted on the white tree was in a state of disregard.
Five years passed like that.
"Did the flower just bloom?"
"It looks like it was growing inside a tree to be exact."
" There are all these things in the world."
Jamie was listening, but doubting his ears.
So, for the past 8 years, the red flower that will become Bena's younger sister grows inside the tree, so no one knows.
Besides, what is the probability that flowers will grow inside the tree?
Growing up in the first place was amazing.
Because of the powerful queen's factor, she was able to survive in it without dying.
"Should I call it lucky or bad luck?"
The fact that I didn't know that flowers were growing for eight years was obviously not a good thing, but the flowers that have now surfaced have given me a reason not to go back.
But Jamie had a different idea.
"That means it will take two more years for Bena's younger brother to be born."
right.
"Then you haven't been born yet?"
Huh. Not yet.
After all, it is said that the queen is only born after the death of the queen.
Valkyries born in a special way also start with babies.
In other words, it was impossible to sit on the vacant throne.
"It is something to celebrate that a second princess is soon to be born, but ."
Jamie glanced at Bena with a puzzled look on her face.
vena. I guess I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Jamie Wellton!"
Fjörn, noticing what Jamie was trying to say, tried to stop him, but he couldn't.
"Be in moderation, Pyon. Originally, I thought it would be better to know after Bena is gone, but I have no choice but to talk about it now that the situation is like this."
" ."
Pyon couldn't respond and frowned.
Bena's face became bewildered at the sudden situation.
"Wow, what are you trying to say?"
vena. After all, you are the only one who is suitable for the Queen."
"But Pyon is fine ."
"No, it's not okay."
why? I really hate going with me, so... ."
Jamie cut Bena's words, and said in a serious voice.
"The Queen, that is, your mother."
"Why my mother?"
"I have a little over a year left. So you have to be the queen."
As soon as she heard those words, Bena hardened.
She stared blankly at Jamie's face, barely opening her mouth in a trembling voice.
"My mother why?
Princess.
"Pyon? Why uh mama... Why does my mother only have one year to live?"
that's ."
"The shock of losing you, and the process of creating a new princess, your health must have deteriorated rapidly."
Jamie did what Fyon couldn't say.
"The Queen of the Valkyrie has only one child during her tenure. Because the queen's blood must be strong. So, the Queen has no choice but to spend a lot of energy to create the factor. The Queen was heartbroken at the loss of you, and in order to keep the servant alive, she forced herself to draw a new element. That would have been the most fatal."
So As a result, because of me, my mother ."
With her legs loose, Bena sat down.
She shrugged her shoulders with tears on her face.
Fyon turned his head to see if he couldn't see Bena like that.
Jamie squatted down and made eye contact with her.
vena.
because of me. Because of me, my mother, my mother !"
vena.
no. I hate my mom dying. why mama die Why did my mom ."
"Benaya."
"I can't. dream, it will be a dream I've only been with my mom for five or five years!
vena!
"Mom, I'm sorry. Even if I didn't get lost that day, that day... ."
match!!
Pyon's eyes widened.
Bena felt the heat and pain radiating down her right cheek.
Jamie said as she lowered her slap on her hand.
"Calm down."
master ."
"The past cannot be undone, and regret is only painful."
"But my mother ."
Yes. You shouldn't be doing this, even for your mother's sake.
" ."
"Before becoming a queen, as a daughter, I have to protect my mother's side. Until my brother is born."
At those words, Bena started crying sadly.
"I miss my mother. I miss my mother."
Lived apart for 10 years.
After that, they lived together for 5 years, but could not fill the gap of the lost 10 years.
remaining period.
I was thinking of slowing down what I couldn't do as a child.
I knew my health was bad, but I didn't think it was serious.
Because he always showed a strong side in front of him.
If only I had paid a little more attention.
If only she had been a daughter she could lean on a little more.
"I miss my mom right now."
Huh. Let's go see you right now.
Jamie grabbed Bena and lifted her up.
Fyon stood behind them with a bitter expression on their face and then approached them both.
"I will go with you."
"Give me the coordinates."
"Read my mind. It's that easy."
Confirm.
As soon as Fyon's permission fell, he checked the coordinates in her head.
"Grab your shoulders."
Huh.
"I'll go, Bena."
Benna nodded her head.
Jamie teleported to the coordinates in the memory he was handed over.
* * *
Ariazad Great Forest.
Inside, there was an expansive field that did not fit the name of the Great Forest.
There, mana stirred once, and the figure of three people appeared.
It was Jamie, Bena, and Pyon.
"It's not terribly far from Abraxas, but it's not even close enough to come all at once. What kind of monster is a 9th-class wizard?"
"Stop talking nonsense and guide me."
When Fyon spoke in a startled voice, Jamie responded as if nothing had happened.
Follow me.
Fyon beckoned and started walking towards the center of the field.
Then the surface of the space shook, and her figure disappeared like a lie.
I thought it was strange that there was such a wide plain in the great forest, but this place seemed to be a passageway to another world.
Jamie also supported Bena and walked in the direction Fyon disappeared.
The surroundings were dyed with rainbow colors, and in an instant, a world covered in pastel tones appeared.
I also saw a beautiful spring, which seemed to be the "spring through which time flows" where the Valkyries live.
Pyon, who was waiting first, said to Bena.
I'm back home, Princess. Let's go see the Queen right away.
Huh. master. I will walk alone from here. Thank you for supporting me."
Yes.
Jamie lifted his hand from Bena's shoulder when he said that he was going to walk alone.
Although the released strength has not yet fully returned, because this is the hometown of the Valkyrie, Vena regained some strength and started walking slowly.
Valkyries flew around, but no one spoke to them because of the serious atmosphere.
At that moment, a Valkyrie with impressive indigo blue hair blocked their way.
She was the first to greet Bena politely.
"Second Elder Sentina is seeing the princess."
"It's been a while, Sentina."
"I'm going to talk to Pyon for a moment."
The Valkyrie, who introduced herself as Sentina, glanced at Jamie at the back, and then asked Pyon as if to shoot him.
"Pion. Why did you come back without talking? And why did you bring humans? Why does the princess look so bad?"
"I have come to see the Queen."
"The Queen? I should have told you that the flowers of the second princess had bloomed."
"Princess Bena wants to see you. I'm only here as a guide. And this man is Jamie Welton."
"Jamie Wellton !"
Sentina's eyes widened.
Maybe it was because he was a human tied to Bena.
Jamie shrugged at the gaze.
Right. Princess, please wait a moment. I will inform the Queen that it has arrived."
After saying those words, Sentina quickly disappeared.
Jamie looked at her as she moved away and asked Pyon.
"The author is one of the four elders."
"You are strong. You are my direct supervisor and also the queen's assistant.
"I see."
As an elder of the Valkyrie, the aura I felt was at least a master class.
Valkyries are not as long as the three major races, but because they are long-lived, Valkyries have enough power.
Besides, when it comes to elders, they have the second strongest power after the queen.
It would have been rather disappointing if it wasn't for the master class.
After a while, Sentina came back and said,
"Pyon remains, Princess and you come in."
Bena nodded and walked in first, followed by Jamie.
As we entered, the first thing we saw was a huge tree.
There was a big hole under the tree with beautiful shades.
Inside, the current Valkyrie Queen sat in an alluring posture.
The queen beckoned to Bena.
"My daughter. come here."
mom!
As soon as Bena saw Hippen, she immediately embraced her.
Jamie stood still and watched the two mothers and daughters.
Hippen was taken aback by the sudden appearance of her daughter crying and wiped her tears away.
"Why are you crying all of a sudden? Did anything sad happen?"
"Ugh huh. There is no such thing."
Bena shook her head, crying, not wanting to worry her mother.
As a result, the queen's dress was soaked with tears, but it didn't matter to the queen.
"Then why are you crying? Are you crying because you have a younger brother?"
"About my brother I heard."
Huh. Bena has a younger brother. There are about two years left to be born, so let's love the two of us when we are born."
" ."
Benna didn't answer that.
Hippen also patted Bena's head with a slightly bewildered face when her daughter didn't answer.
"Why won't my daughter answer?"
mom ."
Huh?
"You really only have one year to live?"
Hippen's eyes trembled at that question.
She quickly straightened her expression and said in denial.
What are you talking about. Why does my mother only have one year to live? All my life with my daughter... ."
"I heard it all. because of me I disappeared, my mother was overworked and pulled out the queen factor... ."
vena.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mom.
Bena was sobbing and trying to hold back her tears, but there was nothing she could do about the tears that leaked out.
Hippen felt like his heart would burst at the sight of such a daughter.
I wished Benaman didn't know.
Even if I found out, I wish I had known when he passed away.
"I'm sorry, Bena."
"Tell me early, early. If I had, I wouldn't have left the forest even for a moment. I wish I had stayed by your side a little longer."
Huh. sorry. I'm sorry Mom.
Hippen took Bena in her arms and patted her on the back.
