"Listen, everyone, you should know why I invited you here," Daphnia looked at the group in front of her and then her eyes quickly went to the Velian, who was standing next to her with a smile.
Sariya and Elda were sitting next to each other with happy looks on their face, but noticing others were looking at them, they knew the news about their relationship is not a secret anymore.
Just like how Naomi was supposed to be, she stood there without even sitting acting like a proper guard, which really dissatisfied Velian because no matter how he advised her to act like his girlfriend she always does it in front of other girls.
Lyra and Juno were also sitting next to each other, but unlike Lyra who was calm and collected, Juno had her tail wagging like she was expecting something from this meeting.
"Delviny is the only one missing," Daphnia wished she was here to discuss this important matter, but she knew Delviny would agree with anything as long as their lives are not in danger.
"You girls know right? Why did I invite you here?" Since Daphnia didn't get her answer previously, she questioned again but this time, her voice was serious.
"Yes," Sariya gave a short answer while others also nodded their head.
"Veli, girls are nervous to do something,"
Looking at her son, Daphnia said hoping this meeting will go smoothly.
"Mmmh~ girls, don't be nervous, we are going t be a big family now, so no need to be all formal," With a smile, he tried to ease the nervousness in the atmosphere.
And it worked because as soon as they heard the word big family, everyone looked at each other and they couldn't explain how weird they felt.
"Well, if you didn't know, despite being his mother, this little devil managed to seduce me and now I'm dating him, but don't ask whether I have any regrets because I have none, same goes for my two daughters," Daphnia started her story and pointe at Lyra giving a mild smile.
"Yesterday, our last members also joined so now our family is complete, and there are things you should know before completely believing us,"
Daphnia and Velian both nodded their head and started to tell their story and their origin. Most of them felt like they were listening to a fantasy story because of how absurd it is.
"No way, so Velian was a prince and not a normal one but from the empire," Sariya felt like this was the most absurd thing, she heard in a while.
"Yes, and I have no intention of hiding it from you, but I don't like being called a prince because I hate empire and royalty,"
Everyone took some time to digest this information, but none of these was absurd enough for Sariya and the other girls to forget about their current relationship as everyone started to cheer up Daphnia and Velian.
"Thank you for accepting us, please treat us like normal because long ago both men and Velian abandoned that self-centred nation," Daphnia also said while touching her chest showing how grateful they were.
Sariya felt emotionally connected with Daphnia because of how similar their situations were, and now she understood why they were able to become friends so easily.
"Secondly, Sariya and Elda, yesterday I used my special skill on you two," Velian got close to both of them and muttered.
"What?" Confused, Sariya questioned.
"My skill bloodline, it allows me to share a fraction of my power with my loved ones and I already used it one everyone in this room except Juno, who still didn't give me her answer to my confession,"
Sariya couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen and she felt excited knowing, she got something from her lover this valuable.
"But-" Velian hesitate for a minute.
"You two need to change your surname, well officially your surname is already changed, I'm sorry for doing something important without your permission," Velian bowed his head in front of both Sariya and Elda.
"I was so caught up in yesterday's mood so much that, I mistakenly changed your name but you might feel a little bit strong,"
Sariya and Elda quickly asked him to not beg for forgiveness like this.
"Why are you saying sorry? Instead, I should thank you, for giving me a new identity like this,"
"Yes, you shouldn't worry about such things, even though I loved my father, he never loved me back so I don't really care about that name either,"
Daphnia couldn't help but be proud of her son for his choice of the woman. Not because he chose her but looking at Sariya and Elda, she knew letting him date them wasn't a wrong choice.
"The today onward, you two are Sariya Keller and Elda Keller,"
After solving that matter, Velian went back to the main problem. They had so many things to discuss as a new family about how they are going to live and what others might think about this.
"I want all of you to come back with me, Sariya this isn't about our challenge, you can reduce it if you want," Velian said in a requesting manner.
Almost all of them didn't have any problem with that except Sariya. She didn't want to leave the land without any leadership.
"Sariya, are you worried about your land?" Daphnia questioned seeing why she was hesitant.
"I want to come but, leaving all my hard work like this and abandoning people is not my style, Veli, you can take Elda with you, and I will join you from time to time," She was really thinking about living alone for the sake of her people, but neither Elda nor Vekian liked that idea.
"What about leaving management to your assistant Mel? Your former guard, I know she is best to handle these types of things," Velian suggested a familiar name.
He did not doubt Mel since she knew her loyalty wasn't bad and she was capable of doing that.
"Wait! That's not a bad idea," Elda also agreed with him, knowing this might be the solution to their problem.
"Sariya, you can visit from time to time, you don't have to worry about transportation, I will drip you here within five hours, it is easy for me,"
Under constant nagging and pressure from both Elda and Velian, Sariya had no choice but to agree with them.
"Fine, I will do that, you two are already ganging up on me,"
Elda hugged her mother making this whole meeting a wholesome one. But then came another serious topic, Velian wanted to discuss.
"I want all of us to have a child,"
