Lillia turned her head and crossed her legs with her arms crossed across her chest as she said: "So you heard?"
"Mmm… Don't be mad at Destiny. I think she did the right thing. Lillia. Since the day we met, and you told me everything, I knew that it would be very dangerous for the both of us. This is why I have asked you to hide yourself.
"During this time, you have done everything else you could to support all of us. You are my first wife and someone I hold very dear to my heart. You will always hold that special spot that no one can take up." Blake put Destiny aside. Unlike usual, she did not make a fuss as Blake got up, walked over to Lillia, lifted her out of the chair, and placed her sideways in his lap. He then turned her head to face Destiny. "Do you see the child over there? Our child? She is our creation. She is the one we brought into the world. She is my daughter and yours. You did this.
"You have brought me immense happiness in a world that I once feared. But now…. I am the lord of a city. A city in which you helped me create that would not be able to be here to this day without your help. The people living here are the people who had lives worse than dirt and who are now working and living regular lives just like the old days. You are a treasure to this city and to Destiny and me. We love you both dearly. Your sisters also love you dearly. The other children love you as well. They would not call you Mama Lillia if they did not love you.
"You do so much that it's fine to sit out during a war. You are already doing enough. Just like we can not do everything for Destiny, or else she will not be able to walk on her own two feet, you can not do the same for the people living in this city.
"The people that died, the people who are getting to live another day. They all walked onto the battlefield of their own free will. I gave everyone the option to run away. While I am sad about their deaths, and I am responsible for sending them to their death, I will never forget them. But those who are alive learned something new. This entire city had moved as one during this fight. Even a small fox girl was willing to count the dead. She did so because she wanted to do her part." At this point, Lillia was already crying harder than she had ever cried before. Destiny also made her way over and crawled onto her Mama's lap. Blake hugged them both and rocked them back and forth. To him, there was no one useless in his life. Each one of them was special to him.
Outside the room, a group of girls were peeking through the crack in the door as they watched the heartwarming scene. After a few minutes, mothers and daughters alike quickly ran off before they were caught eavesdropping. "Sister Tina, what do you think we should do to cheer up Sister Lillia?" Noa asked. After seeing Lillia cry like that, she could no longer sit still when her sister was down.
"Humans have a ritual for when a man and a woman love each other enough that they will get married. It's like a ritual of sorts. While I do not care too much about it. I think Sister Lillia as the main wife, should have a wedding. It will be more special to her than any of us. After all, in the end, she was supposed to be the only one with Blake. As her sisters, I think we should put something together." Tina answered. She had had this idea for a while now and did not know if she should bring it up or not but after seeing Lillia like that, the strong and noble woman that she was breaking down and crying really ate at her. She also loved Lillia very much and wanted Lillia to be happy. The same went for all the girls here. Their family was very close.
"I like it!" Mina flew over and landed on Tina's head. "I think we should do this. Sister Lillia has allowed for all of us to be with our one true love. And allowed us sisters to come together. Without her, I am afraid our family would not be able to be together. Infighting would surely happen, and we would not have the sisterly bond that we do now.
"If we can give her the one special occasion where it is just for her, I think we should do it. After the mourning period is up, we should hold a city wide wedding. Not only will this give Sister Lillia a chance to have a special moment only for herself, but it will also help clear up the gloomy air in the city. A lot of people died. Even we got injured this time around with all of our harsh training. We can not only help SIster Lillia but the citizens of our Destiny City." Mina really was raring to go and begin setting things up right away, but it was too soon. A month of mourning would soon be held to mourn the deaths of those who lost their lives in the war.
"I agree as well. No, I think we all agree, right?" Noa looked around. All the girls nodded their heads. Only Slimia had her head tilted in confusion. But then again, she was made for only one thing, and that was to have sex with Blake. But even the new wives and concubines nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then we will start planning the day after mourning is up." Tina and the girls looked at each other and smiled. They then turned to their daughters and made sure they kept it a secret.
Back in the room, Lillia held Destiny while resting her head on Blake's shoulder. She felt lucky. She felt lucky to have a man who cared so much about her.
