Chapter 25: Together! (3)

The two mothers and daughters hugged each other silently for a long time.

Jamie looked at them and thought a lot.

They were mostly about family love.

How would you feel if your mother Sears' health deteriorated?

Father Earl Wellton.

brother Sarah.

Probably not much different from them.

Your chest will burst and you will feel as if a part of your heart has been cut off.

Vena will be now, and Hippen will be as well.

However, divorce is not inevitable in life.

It was a problem that had to be overcome someday, and it was something I had no choice but to accept even if I didn't like it.

'I was, and I will always be.'

In my previous life, it was painful to endure the pain, so I made the extreme choice of castration.

This life won't be like that.

If we break up, I will fully accept it.

Because that's what you're doing for your opponent.

If it had been the case back then, wouldn't the result have been a little better?

"You look like you can't see the guests in front of you."

As Jamie was deep in thought, Queen Hippen spoke to her.

She, too, was crying and her eyes were wide open.

Hippen smiled and said to Bena.

"Let me introduce you to Bena."

Huh.

Bena seemed to have calmed down a bit, so she got up and introduced Jamie to Hippen.

"It's my master. Have we talked a lot before?"

"This is Jamie Welton."

Being the queen of the Valkyrie before being Bena's parents, Jamie greeted them politely.

Upon closer inspection, Hippen's face resembled that of Netis, the former queen of the Valkyrie.

In the past, I didn't bother to use my honorific name for Netis, but since the times and attitudes have changed since then, I didn't intend to act like I used to.

"It is only now that I have met the benefactor of the Valkyrie. Thanks to you, I was able to find my daughter. thank you.

Still, since she is the queen of the Valkyrie, I thought she would come naturally, but Hippen expressed her gratitude to Jamie with the utmost respect.

no.

"I have nothing to offer, so I hope you will accept this. It's something I've been wanting to give since a long time ago."

What Hippen held out was a green leaf.

It looked like an ordinary leaf, but when she saw it, Jamie had a slightly startled expression on her face.

that is ."

"You know too. The leaves of a white tree. Just what you have is energizing."

It wasn't empty words.

The white tree of the Valkyrie is a divine tree that is not inferior at all compared to the world tree of the elves.

In particular, it was known that it surpassed the World Tree in terms of vitality as it embraces the queen's factor.

Its leaves were precious, incomparable to any other treasure.

No, it wasn't something you could get what you wanted.

"Please take it."

Jamie was contemplating whether to accept it or not, and Bena, who was standing next to her, smiled and nodded.

Jamie smiled involuntarily at her appearance.

He took a step closer to the queen and gently reached out his hand.

"Then I will be grateful."

Jamie, who was handed the leaf of the white tree, felt her body recover to its best state.

Anyway, I was mentally stressed today, but the pain has completely disappeared.

Indeed, the leaves of the divine tree were different.

Hippen asked as Jamie was peering through the white leaves of the tree.

"Then I want to talk to you about my daughter's future, is that okay?"

"Uh, Mom."

"Bena, stay still. This is a conversation between you and the person you have mastered."

However ."

"Because it's okay. Step aside for a moment."

"Listen to the Queen."

As Hippen and Jamie spoke at the same time, Bena was forced to step aside.

The two men, Hippen, opened their mouths first.

"What should I call you?"

I don't mind calling you Jamie.

"Then Jamie. Have you ever told Bena about my lifespan?"

Yes.

also.

Hippen nodded as if he knew that.

"I thought there was no way Fyon would have said it. Unlike his light personality, he has a very heavy mouth."

"I didn't say it lightly."

I think so. Does Jamie want Bena to be queen? Maybe to get help from the Valkyries in the upcoming war?"

"I would be lying if I said no. But not just for that reason."

then?

"It doesn't make sense that parents don't live long, and that daughters don't know that. So I was very discouraged that he would follow me, but I ended up talking about it when I said that it would be okay if I had a younger brother."

It was something I could say because it was Jamie who woke up to family love.

i See.

"I heard that the flowers for the second princess to be born have bloomed. I still think it makes sense, but it takes two years for everything to go away and another queen candidate is born. But just because you're born doesn't mean you can become a queen right away. you'll have to grow It may take years, but I don't think it's going to be just one year.

"You know."

"Then we know that the Valkyrie will have to go through the absence of a queen for at least a few years, and that for the Valkyries, a queen is not just a ruler. Isn't the Queen itself the significance of the Valkyrie's existence?

Hippen was quite surprised that Jamie knew so much.

Come to think of it, the little bull-shaped bow that brought Bena five years ago was also well aware of the Valkyrie.

Did you say your name is Behemoth?

Jamie continued.

"Anyway, for that reason, I told Bena the truth and made her come back here."

"I didn't want to tell Bena."

"That is too selfish as a parent. Children have a right to know about their parents."

"That's right. It was my selfishness that I didn't want to see my daughter suffer. But now I feel relieved."

Fortunately, the. I wondered what would happen if you got mad at me."

When Jamie smirked, Hippen shook his head in disbelief.

"I heard from Bena that she is the youngest among humans It doesn't seem like that's the case."

"Because there is an old man inside."

As Jamie smiled and said, Hippen picked up and laughed.

He probably thought it was a joke.

I'm serious.

"It would be very reassuring to have someone like you by my side."

"It would have been like that. Bena is my proud man."

Hahaha. You call the next queen of the Valkyrie a subordinate. You have good courage."

"Please, half-jokingly. Half the truth."

The two looked at each other and then giggled and laughed.

Then Hippen opened his mouth again.

"Thank you for sending my daughter."

"It is difficult for the queen to bow her head so often."

"I can do anything for my daughter's benefactor."

"It's because I'm embarrassed. So could you please call me Bena? I have something to share with him."

Yes. Anything."

* * *

After a while, Bena returned, and this time the Queen stepped aside.

Vena had completely stopped crying, and although her eyes were red, she looked fine.

Jamie got lucky first.

vena. Having come all the way here, you must have made a decision."

master ."

"How long are you going to whine like a child? You will be the new queen of the Valkyrie within a year. Show me your dignity as a queen."

"Not so ."

vena. Do you remember the day we first met five years ago?"

"Of course I remember."

How can I forget that time?

" I was beaten up by the Master."

At first, the Master thought he was being chased by bad guys and was trying to save him, but it turned out to be a lure.

Then again, he was found out that he was a warlock, so he almost got into trouble, and he begged him to accept him as a disciple for the purpose of living half a life.

Of course, he was rejected harshly, and even his memories were read, but in the end he was saved by his hands.

"It was disappointing the first time I found out that Valkyrie lacks talent for magic, but it was nice to be able to work with them nonetheless."

The appearance of a squirrel was also uncomfortable at first, but after I got used to it, I often turned into a squirrel these days.

Anyway, for Bena, meeting with Jamie was a moment of salvation, a moment of meeting a leader who would lead her, and a moment of meeting a hero who would one day save the world.

"But how can I forget?"

Bena wept and spoke again.

"How can you forget, Master?"

we can't be together anymore

I waited for the day to stand next to the Master again for 5 years, but now I can't.

That made Bena's heart pound.

Jamie nodded.

Huh. I will never forget I still have the memories of that time."

master.

"It has been the same for the past five years, and it will be the same in the future. I am your master and you are my subordinate. Even if our bodies are separated, the bond of that bond never breaks."

"Really, really?"

really. You are my first subordinate."

"Ouch ???? ."

"Even if we are apart, we are together, Bena. Always remember that."

Huh together!

At the same time as those words, Bena burst into tears that she had been holding back.

Jamie struggled to appease her dear first subordinate.

We will be parting again like this, but this is not an eternal parting.

So we can meet again anytime.

* * *

"You don't have to come out to meet me."

However ."

"Rather, if we break up like this, won't we be able to meet again soon? If we hold each other and part, I will only think of you more."

Jamie patted Bena's head and stood up.

I saw the Queen approaching from afar.

told her

"I'll stop."

Thank you again.

no. Bena, take good care of the queen."

" I will."

Huh.

Jamie said goodbye to the two and walked out.

Outside, Pyon was waiting for him, leaning against a tree.

"A princess?"

in.

like that. thank you it worked out thank you so much.

Unlike before, Pyon bowed his head politely and thanked him.

Jamie shook his hand roughly.

done. I didn't ask anyone to say thank you.

" sorry. You must have been troubled."

"Let's go back. They are dispatched to the Frontier."

Huh.

The two came out of the "fountain of time" as quietly as possible.

No one stopped them because Jamie wanted them.

When I came out to the field, I could see the Milky Way in the night sky.

Whether this place also shared the same sky as Abraxas, it was the same Milky Way.

Jamie told Pyon to put his hand on his shoulder and then teleported.

"Drink~ Pyu~ Droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~"

As soon as I returned home, I heard Behemoth snoring.

It's disgusting to see him sleeping without the world knowing what had just happened.

I stopped trying to pull my ear off.

This guy, too, would be depressed without Vena when he wakes up.

I'm not the type to show tea on the outside.

"Then I will go back. Thank you so much for today."

Yes. Go and rest."

Pyon returned to his home.

Jamie walked over to the bed with weary steps and lay flat on her back.

Somehow, I felt alone again.

Behemoth is sleeping down there, and in the far away kingdom of Seldam, there are family and fellow wizards.

I felt an unknown sense of loss.

No, there's no way you can't be unaware of this loss.

"Baby Bena. Be healthy.

Jamie lay alone in bed, blessing his men who would now become queens.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.

I must have been very tired.

* * *

Someone shook his body violently.

Jamie rubbed his eyes and saw the object shaking his body.

" already! Jamie Wellton!"

Blue hair was visible through the hazy vision.

A woman, three men, and a gigantic Jo-in stood next to him.

Jamie rubbed his eyes and grabbed the arm of the shaker.

what's the matter.

I fell asleep deeply and never woke up.

Jamie yawned and got up from the bed.

Then I checked the faces of those who had gathered here.

It was Isis, Jin, Han, Beiryl, and finally, the Hawks.

Why are the best forces of the Frontier gathered here?

Jamie was about to yawn again, but Isis spoke urgently.

"This is not the time to yawn!"

"Then why are you doing this?"

"It happened."

" what?

"War."

The 524 year of Friedmoor's calendar, the time of entering winter.

The State of Terrisia, which was established on the border between the North and the East, has invaded the North with the Zenith Bridge on its back.
