Chapter 3731: Three Steps (Part 2)

"Those under a slave spell keep fighting under their imposed mask, and when their will is broken, they just surrender and fade away." Baba Yaga said. "That’s what always happened to my Horsemen’s hosts."

"Epphy, instead, is not fighting Lith. She’s fighting with him. Everything they do for each other is because they want to, not because they have to. Otherwise, there would be no Manifestation, let alone Assimilation."

"Wow." Silverwing took the words out of Menadion’s mind as she sat there in a stunned silence.

"Yes." The Mother nodded, refilling her glass and emptying it just as quickly. "Wow."

The following day, Lith went to visit Valeron before breakfast. It was a habit he had developed to have a brief interaction with the baby boy to save everyone further awkwardness at the table.

"Hi, little fellow." Lith, Solus, and Kamila entered only after knocking on the door and only after Elina gave them permission. "How are you feeling today?"

They visited him together to avoid prolonging their and his suffering. This way, he could send them off all at once.

"Okay." Valeron muttered, lowering his gaze the moment the three adults stepped through the door.

’It’s not much, but compared to the usual "Go!" it’s a major improvement.’ Lith thought.

"We are taking a stroll in the park with Elysia after breakfast. Would you like to join us?" Lith always invited the baby boy, and was usually met with a thrown toy or a firm denial.

Valeron the Second raised his eyes to look at them as a conflicted expression formed on his small face.

"Okay." Valeron nodded.

"Okay as in you want to come with us, or okay as in you aren’t listening to a word we said?" Kamila found the answer too good to be true and refused to believe her own ears.

"I listen." Valeron gave her a quizzical look. "I come."

"Really?" Solus’ voice broke as she tried and failed to hold her tears.

"Really." Valeron replied with a mostly deadpan voice.

"Wah!" It was more than enough for Elysia. "Wah! Wah! Wah!"

She kicked free from Kamila’s arms and bolted at the baby boy in her Tiamat form, forcing him to shapeshift into a Bahamut.

"Wah! Wah!" She tackled him, and the two rolled on the floor in a playful tussle. "Wah! Wah!"

Elysia held and licked the bigger Divine Beast, who held and licked her back.

"Ely, stop!" Valeron giggled due to her tickling.

It was impossible to keep a straight face while drowned in happiness and affection through the Dragon Scales.

"Wah! Wa-" Elysia stopped abruptly, jumping back as if she had touched a live wire. "So-y. So-y."

She lowered her head and whimpered in apology. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"No sorry." Valeron stood up, took her face between his hands, and licked her snout. "No angry."

"No?" Elysia looked at him, her small tail waggling in excitement.

"No." Valeron didn’t want to waggle his tail back, but he had no control over it.
