Aurora’s face was incomparably pale as she looked at the man in the garden.
Even if Aurora had never seen elven nobles before, she still knew that these elves were definitely elven nobles that hailed from the Silver Moon Kingdom. The only person who could make these noble elves kneel on both sides, serve them with their own bodies, and offer delicacies with their hands - other than the Silver Moon Goddess, Her Highness Selune - was…
His Highness Louie Galakrond the Dragon God!
But why was it like this? Why would ‘Mr.Ramses’ turn out to be her Father God? Was it truly her father who sincerely came to meet her at the restaurant earlier?
‘Could it be that I was wrong all along and that Father God has appeared in front of me in other ways in the past? And I just didn’t recognize him?’
Gods were beings who had thousands of faces. Even if her Father God had appeared in front of her and cared for her, she might have not been able to detect him.
‘But why… Father God is Mr. Ramses, but why would I have those kinds of feelings earlier?’
Aurora only felt a pang of confusion, anxiety, pain, and grief. She wanted to cry out loud.
She was excited to finally meet her father, and felt an indescribable grief produced by an unknown emotion.
Alexia let out a cry of joy, causing Aurora to snap back to reality.
“Daddy!”
At some point in time, Louie had allowed Alexia to call out to him more intimately.
The petite elven dragon jumped for joy into Louie’s arms. Louie, who was sitting on the throne and sipping a glass of wine, placed the cup on the side table and opened his arms, catching the young girl’s body with a smile on his face.
Dressed in traditional elven attire, Alexia's petite figure squeezed into Louis' embrace, and her delicate, fair arms wrapped around his neck. She swung back and forth like she was on a swing.
Louie caught Alexia and gently stroked Alexia’s smooth hair. He kissed Alexia’s tender cheeks and smiled, “Alexia, you are now the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom, you shouldn’t let others see your childish temper.”
“It’s my little sister anyway, not an outsider. Who cares~”
Alexia certainly did not. She squirmed a few times in Louie’s arms and turned around. Then she picked up the wine glass Louie used and drank the wine left inside the glass.
The surrounding elves deeply bowed their heads, to prevent themselves from looking upon the queen. As the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom and the Silver Moon Kingdom, Alexia was their absolute ruler. Even if they saw their ruler’s breach of ceremony, they could only pretend not to see.
Aurora was a little embarrassed. She was caught in a dilemma and unsure of how to respond. Although Alexia’s words ‘my little sister is not an outsider’ moved her heart, she still felt like a stranger to Alexia and Louie. Moreover, she was still struggling to get over treating Louie as Mr. Ramses. She gripped the hem of her coat and watched.
“Aurora, come sit down.”
Louie’s gentle gaze fell on Aurora, causing her to feel warm.
“Ah, yes, Mr. Ra… no, I mean Father God!”
Aurora was still a bit dazed as she listened to Louie. She stammered a bit and nervously walked to the chair and sat down while muddle-headed.
Seeing Aurora’s torn and confused eyes, Louie did not know what to say momentarily. He had previously teased her and had no ulterior motives, but he never imagined that she would be so deeply affected.
Louie thought for a bit and roughly understood Aurora’s thoughts.
As his and Andrea’s daughter, Aurora was born as a royal of the Subila Kingdom. From her birth, she had received Andrea’s attention and became the sole heir to the throne. She did not need to enter an arranged marriage and with her identity as the Dragon God Church’s Holy maiden, Aurora’s life had been smooth sailing. The majority of men she had met must not have dared have any ulterior motives and only treated her with sincere respect.
Naturally, there were also men who would have romantic thoughts about her, but because of Aurora’s high pride, she would definitely not even glance at them.
Aurora was a hybrid of a dragon and a human, but her nature was closer to a human. A twenty year old girl was already able to marry and have children in the world of San Soliel. With how open-minded the residents of this world were, many nobles lived a promiscuous lives. It was not uncommon for nobles at twenty years old to have experience with both sexes.
However, Aurora’s identity and powerful bloodline had made her feelings of romance to be as blank as a sheet of paper.
Young girls her age would have thoughts of falling in love, and Aurora naturally had the same thought of one day meeting her own Prince Charming.
This pure and innocent young girl who knew nothing about romance had come to Dragon City and had a bloodline resonance with him.
In psychology, there was a famous ‘suspension bridge effect’, referring to how two people walking across a suspension bridge would have their heartbeats accelerate and might mistake this reaction for love.
Bloodlines between mortals had a genetic link, let alone Louie’s divine bloodline. When Aurora first met Louie, her heartbeat sped up from the bloodline resonance, causing her to misunderstand.
Now that she found out her object of desire was her Father God, she naturally became confused and overwhelmed. She felt lost and uncertain, and there's a possibility that she might be condemning herself in her own heart, perhaps even cursing her lack of restraint.
Louie knew that even if he explained to her that her heartbeat was from the bloodline resonance, Aurora would not necessarily listen to it. Her first impression had already made her wrongly perceive it as love between sexes.
Louie had only wanted to take a look at his daughter with a stranger's identity but found out that he had accidentally placed her in a difficult situation.
However, since it was already done and the mistake had been made, Louie did not bother correcting it. A god need not be sorry for such a trivial matter.
“Aurora, do you hate me? Hate me for not visiting you from your birth until now?”
Aurora listened to Louie’s words and became horrified. She quickly stood up and kneeled on the ground, “Father God, I have never hated you. I hope that you can see that.”
Her heart beat faster again, but this time Aurora knew that this was fear.
Gods and mortals were different. She did not dare pout and talk back like a mortal child seeing her parents. It would be bad if she were to upset her Father God.
It’s just that she felt faintly jealous seeing her sister Alexia smiling and laughing in the arms of their Father God.
“Do not be afraid, Aurora! I am your Father God, and also your Father. As long as you don’t make a big mistake, I will continue to love you…. Stand up and come here, let me take a good look at you.”
Louie’s gentle voice caused Aurora’s fear to slightly subside. She stood up from the ground and did not dare look directly at Louie. She lowered her head and bit her lips as she trudged forward.
“Sigh…”
Louie sighed and pulled Aurora’s arm, causing the young girl to fall into his arms.
