?

This was my room. In my subspace. Definitely Hmm? My last piece of memory What was the last thing that happened?

Ah, right. The fight! The siege and the giant sea noodle. Urgh, and then those demonkins Ah. I get it now.

I pulled my hand out of my blanket and looked at my right hand, noting how I was missing my index finger. Bandages covered the stump and I felt slight phantom pain whenever I clenched my hand into a fist, feeling the sensation of my thumb and middle finger touching what was no longer there. What a scar, honestly.

It was then that I noticed soft whispers touching my neck. I turned around, where I caught a glimpse of Mothers sleeping face. She was in her [Humanize (Moderate)] form, as usual, whenever she wanted to sleep next to me. Her silver white hair was a delight to the eyes, and I could feel the soft touch of her fingers on my left arm, hugging it like a body pillow.

Deju vu. Yeah, damn. [Symphonie des Feuergottes Movemetn (Finale)] might be freaking strong, but it sent me into the same dangerous situation as before. Well, I guess it is a low price to pay for nearly defeating a rank A Warbringer.

Nearly really sounds pathetic. I need to defeat people like that with my finishing ability. Two casts of it, and I couldnt finish things off. However, next time? It will truly be a finale.

Thanks for working so hard Mom. Good work defeating that noodle. I gave her a quick peck on the cheek, feeling a bit embarrassed I was kissing her with such fondness. Still, considering how she was, she probably would love this sorta affection from me.

Pff!

H-huh?! I snapped my head around as I heard the sound of somebody crackling in my room, activating my [Detection Sensor] to notice another person was in the room outside of Mother. Two, in fact.

[Master!] And this person jumped right on me, shoving me right back onto my pillow. Licking my face once, the black-white tiger cub began rubbing his face against mine, to the point I felt like sneezing.

No, actually, I had to sneeze right about

Kra! Kraaachooooooo!

Argh, that was not cute at all!

A noisy sneeze coming from my throat, instead of a soft one from the nose. I immediately hid my mouth and nose with my hand, feeling conscious of what happened, before feeling like I had something slimy in my nose. It made it stuffy and hard to breathe. Wait, did I actually get a cold? It wasnt mentioned in my Profile, though.

Shihehe, well, that is a surprise. Once you get [Abnormal Status Nullification], catching something like a cold or a cough should be impossible. You really overworked yourself with that healing stunt, the second personNeill spoke up after waving at me with a carefree smile. I also noticed her horn was still missing.

Well, this is a sur I tried to speak with her, but a white magic circle suddenly appeared in front of my face.

[Cure!] Rajah shouted. [Masters sick?! No! Ill cure you, Master cant be sick!]

My little tiger cat was rubbing his face on me like crazy, forgetting the fact he was nearly as big as an actual tiger! Sure, he technically was still a cub, but he was smothering me with the intense care of an actual cat. Was he attempting to suffocate me with his thick fur as revenge for leaving him out from the raid?!

I finally forced him to sit down so I could lean against the headboard. With my overeager cat finally disciplined, I also made sure he didnt wake up Mother. However, seeing how some of his fur was on her face, I raised an eyebrow in surprise at how she hadnt woken up.

Dont be surprised. Your mom is finally catching up on all the sleep she neglected just to make sure she was awake when Karhalantheel attacked, Neill answered my confusion.

Sleep? I was reminded how I was worried Mother hadnt been taking her usual multi-day sleep.

Neill nodded. The older a dragon gets, the more sleep is important to make sure they rest their soul. Immortality doesnt come without some problems, after all. For example, your soul being filled up with memories.

Neill reminded me how Mother hadnt slept much when she was impregnated with my egg and then after when she lost it. And once she met up with me, she had been recovering her schedule, but since she wanted to make up for all the time we lost as mother and daughter, she had only taken two to three day naps. They should have lasted for months or even years.

Youve been asleep for a week or so. I think, nine days? she told me after I questioned her how long I was out.

Urk, this is deja vu. I massaged my temples, smiling wryly as I noticed the similarities to what happened last time. This really wasnt a good habit to start.

Then, I remembered why I shouldnt have slept nine bloody days. Tch, dammit. Neill, how is Elyonda? Did something bad happen after the raid? What about all the injured people?!

I knew I had that System message with all these weird skills combining into [Drakonian Sunlight Style]. Although I wasnt sure how I earned it at this very moment, the message sounding in my head certainly woke me up. At the same time, it made me worry if I had missed other messages or not, considering I was unconscious for this long. Did anybody die? Did I lose any fans?

Jeez, okay, calm down. Come on. Neill stood up from the chair she was sitting on, telling me she had fallen asleep yesterday. She began to stretch, looking rather stiff from her terrible sleeping posture, before slapping me on the back. Get up. Im hungry. Lets get some grub before we speak.

My stomach then grumbled, causing me to look through my profile to confirm I had [Starvation (Minor)]. I was starving, right now, which made sense since I only had a light snack after the finale fiasco.

Meanwhile, I also removed my wings with [Humanize], noticing I had ruined my bed between them, my talons and my tail. My scales and claws were sharp; I always have to remind myself how, if I wasnt careful, I would just break and tear things up. It felt like living in a world made of glass. As nice as having power was, it felt less nice to have when you realize not everything was as sturdy you were.

Orrrgh. I groaned as I stood up, feeling like the blood was all rushing to my head.

Take it easy. Here. Neill handed me a pair of somethings as I recovered, noticing they looked eerily similar to my sun core, only split into two. Your mother extracted your core before she went to sleep. That stinking demon bitch really likes breaking things, huh?

Neill pointed at her horn, making me realize it wasnt broken, but instead was regrowing. I looked down my shirt, noticing a small gem set in the crevice where my core was usually at. I wasnt as heavily injured, but that final battle did take a toll on me.

As I was comforting Rajah who was worried about my injuries, Neill rang the bell next to me, causing the door to open. Behind it was Beth.

[Your Grace!] The snow wyvern, in her dragonewt form, charged right into the room and embraced me just as suddenly as Rajah, swinging me up and down before placing me back on the bed. [Thank goodness, youre awake, Princess! Brother and I are beyond sorry for our failure! We should have been stronger ]

Hmm? I raised an eyebrow as the wyvern twin grimaced, looking like a child waiting for a scolding. I looked over her shoulder, noticing Neill pointing at her winged arms.

They were bandaged and the webbing of her wings were ruined. They looked like they were punctured and ruptured by something sharp. While her arms werent broken, probably healed by Tasianna or Master, it seems that, from the way her bandages were wrapped, she was missing chunks of her flesh. Upon a closer inspection, there were similar wounds all over her body.

This wouldnt do, of course. Water magic had [Ocean Healing] for most of their healing needs, but it just wasnt as strong as [Major Heal]. The battle was as brutal for her as it was for me, and I couldnt overlook this no matter what. Especially since she was this glad to see me.

So, before we continued this discussion, I healed up her wounds. Beth was overjoyed, plucking off any bandages and the leather things over the wounds like a kid picking candy. In the end, her hand was filled with all the rubbish, filling up the trash can in my room in a matter of seconds. At the same time, she mentioned how her brother, Shay, had been unconscious after the ordeal, so I decided to postpone breakfast until after I checked up on the people in the medbay.

Oh, right.

Before we left, I bit off the recovered flesh on my missing finger and used [Miraculous Grace] on it to regrow the digit. As I was testing out the new sensation of this new body part, Neill, Beth, and Rajah didnt give much of a reaction to what I did. I guess to all of us, this was just normal now.

I also corrected Mothers sleeping position and tucked her properly in my bed. Since she was hibernating, I had to leave questioning her about her battle with Karhalentheel for later. It certainly would be an awesome story, but for now, she deserved some rest. Another sneaky kiss to the cheek and I left my room.

Beth, inform the others Hestias awake. Yorshka planned to have a giant feast before she and the others went back home, right? Get it ready, okay? Dont skimp on anything, you understand? Neill ordered Beth with a wide smile, infecting the snow wyvern with her enthusiasm. Neill listed out the dishes she wanted to eat, which mostly included the Earth cuisine Priscilla would have to prepare, while Beth wrote everything down. I suppose she needed to listen to Neill as much as she did to me, seeing as my Sister was an imperial princess, too.

Once Neill was satisfied with the menu, she sent Beth off while she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and licked her lips. When I asked her why she was so excited about breakfast, Neill eyed me like a cheeky delinquent. There was a ton to do after the fight, and poor Renee worked like an equerochs. Well, she kinda hinted about it, but you know shes technically Yeosian royalty, right?

I nodded. She and Markval pretty much confirmed it to me after they told us their plan.

So, something happened in the past with the Sealight and Caimlace families. The latter were the formers cadet family, intended to be a knight's house for the Sealights. Yeostar? A Sealight, and also the reason why the family nearly went extinct, Neill explained on the way to our subspaces clinic. After Yeostar was turned into a god, his son and daughter, both heads for their respective families, went on to rule the principality. It expanded and grew over the years since Yeostars training and wisdom was still ingrained into his family and knights. The golden era of knighthood, as Renee described it. You gotta remember, Yeostar was alive when the Origin Gods came, so this family is over 2000 years old.

Now that you say it, that is pretty impressive for a human family.

Over 2000 years. The Kingdom of Artorias wasnt even close to that age. However, it did make me question something Princess Anasthasia mentioned before, about how the Principality of Yeos used to go under different names.

Oh, is that what you think? One of the problems of being a human is the fact you die far too young compared to the long-living races. It doesnt matter if your first and second kings were fantastic individuals if you suddenly get a bad egg later on. Bad decisions lead to arrogance, and arrogance leads to bad downfalls.

Neill explained Yeos used to not exist at times, being either absorbed into other countries or being founded under a different name. Regardless of what happened, the Sealight and Caimlace family survived through it all, though. Yeos, in whatever form, would reappear as long as these two families stayed alive.

However, it all crumbled at one particular ruler. During all the struggle, the values of Yeostar was maintained. Knighthood, Bravery, and Loyalty; these tenets endured through Caimlace and Sealight. So it made sense that when, one day, a Sealight ruler completely abandoned these values their country started to deteriorate.

The ruler at that time was a woman, apparently. You know how the Yeosian nobility has such a hatred for women with authority? Mhmm, Neill told me history didnt treat her too well, but she also totally blundered everything. In fact, history completely killed her off. Not even a name is left. People only remember her for her issues.

I heard this story from Jethro. This princess almost caused the downfall of Yeos as a culture, but before she could, she died from a sickness. Neill explained from there, the Sealight family started to die out since this conflict caused them to distrust their Caimlace knights.

Yeos survived this ordeal, but it still caused a major problem as a result. Most of the history during this time period was destroyed or lost, so only the gist was retold to people of this time. The Sealight family kept this history to themselves, as they were forced to abandon the throne for their own survival. From there, the Caimlace family took control as Yeoss rulers.

Royce, Renees genderbender crossdresser? LadyI-I dont know how to call it properly. Neill scowled at her inability to find a proper adjective to describe the situation. After I told her I understood what she meant, she dropped the subject. Anyways, her mother was a Sealight, a fact known by the previous prince and his wives, the current Princess Dowager and Princess Anasthasias deceased mother. What an irony that their roles were reversed, right? Royce was the knight, while Markvals father was the ruler.

It certainly cleared up one mystery. I wasnt too interested in Yeoss history, nor the cultural background of why the nobility were misogynistic, as this place was just a Quest destination for me. It wasnt like Artorias, a kingdom I had learned quite a bit about. Even if I didnt consider Artorias a home, it sure was a place I wanted to learn more about, just cause we were allies.

So, where is Renee now? I asked after Neills story was over.

Doing royalty stuff. Meeting with dignitaries, making deals, and also taking care of the country. For now, it seems, Markval will stay as prince until they sort things out. Cant do much, if they dont figure out how to accommodate all their serfs and yeomen. I could only imagine how hard this had to be. I guess lifting the siege was only the first part of Yeoss problem.

However, that could wait until after I took care of my own party.

Just as I thought that, we went through the corridor for our living quarters and ended up in the living room. Nobody was there, surprisingly.

[Masters attendants and friends are all in the other rooms. Miss Svena and Miss Josine are taking care of your yummy drink, and Miss Tasianna went to train. Masters sister told them she would call them when you wake up!] Rajah informed me, allowing me to understand why Neill sent Beth away.

In any case, we went through a random exit door, teleporting us to the clinic.

[Oooh, I see, I see!] I heard somebodys telepathy being sent to everybody inside. [How brave of you, Sir Farron! I now understand how lacking I am as an imperial guard. Youre a far cry from the knights of this country!]

See! I told you cant be so serious about it, father! Shay is the type of person who takes every advice to heart, whether exaggerated or not! Priscilla complained to her bedridden father, before she turned to snow wyvern, who was also stuck in a bed. Shay, you cant take Fathers tales too much to heart! He likes to bring himself up! In fact, I know it! Mother told the same story, but I know she did more than you, Father!

Farron panicked as his daughter glared at him, forcing the man to laugh it off, only to start coughing like he was going to hack up one of his new lungs. His daughter groaned, blaming him for trying to joke about it. At the same, I heard more laughter erupt to my left, noticing both Krim-Slak and Grazlahta were there, also injured!

Ha, as if! Neill came over and ruffled my hair, pointing at Adhi with a snarky grin. Youre just staying around since you heard from Farron that you can teleport back to Artorias with Siss nexus.

Pah, youre putting words in my mouth, Lady Fargryneill! By the Depth Goddess, I havent said a single lie! I can ask Her Grace after the party is done! So, first, we eat! Then, please, send me back! My crew is waiting for me, Lady Hestia! Adhi went from excited to pleading in a matter of a second.

Everybody gathered up, taking their seats at the table once the last few dishes came out of the kitchen. Josine, Lorena, and Priscilla, once done, expressed their thanks for everybody's patience, before turning to the person this feast was dedicated to.

Tasianna, Neill, Rajah, the saurians, the Nordor family, the twins, Svena, Josine, Lorena, Haati, and Adhi were all here. It was lively and full to the brim, even with Tasianna and the other attendants not eating with us out of principle for their job.

However, sadly, it seemed Renee, Rita, and Mother werent here. It was also a shame that Larent and Tehmrayn couldnt stay, but me waking up was a sudden surprise, after all. Renee and Rita were probably busy. I did wonder where Duke Greenveil was, but that was something for me to figure out later on.

Alright! I picked up my fragassa milk, readying myself for a toast. I dont really have much to say for something like this, but it is with a fact we all survived the conflict over a week ago! All the strife, all the problems, all the fighting. We survived! As such TOAST!

TOAST! Everybody on the table cheered with me, including my attendants, as I had forced them to do the same. Even if they were my maids, they were part of this small family, so they better participate!

[Music Resonation (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Okay, everybody! With the music on and everybody filled with anticipation, all that was left was to let loose! Bon apeti

Uhm, excuse me?

I snapped my head around the moment I felt somebody entering the subspace. Behind me, entering through a door, was an elven man in his pajamas. With unkempt lime green hair and tired eyes barely hidden behind some glasses, the man stumbled forward, adjusting his glasses while carrying a book.

O-oh, I apologize. It seems I came too late for the toast, right?

Who is that?

Hmm? The man adjusted his glasses once again, leaning his body forward as he stared at me. Are you? Hoooo! The dragon princess!

Okay, this guy is creeping me out.

Lord Erudite Tasianna shook her head, looking embarrassed as the man tried to stop himself from yawning. Lady Hestia, I would like to introduce to you the leader of Aleistunum. The highest authority of the mages guild and the archerudite of the Church of Istari. This is Archerudite Uzerra.

Ohayo gozaimasu, as the Japanese would say it.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
