Chapter 22: Not So Bad...

Chapter 22: Not So Bad...

Dining Hall, Royal Palace

"Hun!... It’s so sweet. What is this?"

"Hun!..this is saphinear soup, a mix of several types of different soups...here try this, my honey bun-Say ’Aaah’"

"Aaahh.."

Chup

A small part of something like potato smooches his upper lips and nose, earning a giggle from his mother as she reaches and cleans his giggly face with a napkin.

"Now, now, don’t be in such a rush...."

Lucian is sitting on his mother’s lap like a king on his rightful throne. Her bounty full breast his headrest, which has appeal enough to even make a succubus queen her slave, let alone a man.

Her gentle, motherly side is clearly overflowing as she, one by one, picks up a small portion of all the types of dishes present, enough to feed several dozens of people only due to its sheer number rather than individual quantity, on the grand table in front of her.

Her little chick, enjoying himself as ever, basks in her deep affection as he tries each and every dish present on the table with his more than lovely mother cleaning his under-lips or upper-nose, of c, ou courseecause of his too small opening, trying to take bigger of a bite than itself.

After all, this was his first time having something other than his mother’s milk, and to his shock, the food was tasty enough that if push came to shove, he wouldn’t mind having only food for once.

...

In One Side Of The Dining Hall:

"Hehehe..how nostalgic, isn’t it?"

"Yup..it surely has been. Maybe about a millennium or something."

"Ye-es!"

Amongst the chaotic atmosphere of the queen and her son’s first dinner, a little silent salty drop reaches the well-carpeted floor, being sucked up as quietly as it has fallen, remaining unnoticed by anyone.

.....

A few Minutes Later:

"Wh-What is this mother?"

"Hun? Some non-veges for you my baby. After all, you want to grow bigger and stronger, don’t you?"

Yes, yes I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect what is mine. But what is this? A pile or rather several animals cooked whole without their muscles and bones separated or even cooked separately is in front of me, on the table, with my wide eyes scanning it thoroughly.

If that is not enough, there are several glasses of, what I can instinctively tell, blood of different types. And grin by the grin on my mother’s face, I know something is very, very wrong, yup it is just like when she was taking me to throw me from Isabella, flying g at a height of about 53000 feets or so.

"Here, my baby, it is not as bad as Lucy described..."

"No"

Even before she could complete her sentence, he made a run for it. But Alash, from whom he is running, is none other than his mother, aka the world’s strongest and mightiest being to exist.

As expected, no sooner does he skillfully slip out of her grip; after all, who’s the son he is, he once again finds himself in the same position, in her mother’s arms, the not-so-good odored blood filling the glass, about to reach his mouth.

"Nooooo...Gulp. Gulp.Gulp"

After being forcefully telephoned back into his mother’s arms, so seamlessly that he even starts to doubt his ability to cast anti-casting, only to release after feeling his mana that an anti-casting spell has already been in effect on him, as if everything has been pre-seen.

One other thing that caught his attention is the mana signature blocking his casting, which of course belongs to none other than the most irritating person he has ever met, Elaris, who is currently giving him a glare for a glare with a smile only filled with mocking sympathy, let alone empathy.

Gulp

"Hun? Not s-so bad."

Suddenly, after taking a few sips of blood, which has been forcefully yet gently forced down his throat, nirvana hits him then and there that he has been making a scene all this time for nothing.

It is not like it tastes very good but it is not that it is too bad as well. It is like drinking water with very, very little of the amount of soil in it.

And of course, when I say water, it is like water to me because, like Vampires, we don’t have the necessity to drink blood to survive. Rather, blood is like a suitable juice to be consumed with flesh, which, of course, we can even eat raw OR SO I HAVE READ IN BOOK.

....

A few Minutes Later:

"Aahhaa!"

Lucian sitting on his exceptionally royal seat, burping while patting his stomach as if showcasing his trophy, successfully earning a giggle from his mother, hugging him from behind while a divine softness behind his head tries to pull him into the world of dreams, right then and there.

"Oo..you are really full haa."

"Yup, now I just wanna sleep mama."

"Oo..but the special mama promised is still left, baby. Don’t want it?"

After drinking so much of different kinds of food and blood of few types, now my tummy is just too full to put anything there anymore...but well, if it is something special,l, then it doesn’t hurt to have a little now does it.....hehehehhehehs.

"But, see my tummy is already so filled. So I can only have a bit mama."

Lucian, with his cutie face, while patting his swallowed tummy, replies to her.

Hearing his cutie response, a small smile spreads on her face, clearly amused, but suddenly, for some reason, her smile gets as big as it can get.

After all, as a sudden racking of wheel softly echoes in the hall, the face of her little honey bun, which has been on her just a while ago, suddenly gets fixed on what seems to be a glass full of blood which of course is normal by any means because a baby dragon like him, who hasn’t awakened his core, can feel the abnormality of the blood.

’Well, I would prefer to let you have it directly, my little chick, if not for certain someone. But well....it might be too much, even for me, to control myself after that....hehehehhe.’

Patting his head with her hands, a sudden thought crosses her mind as the figure of a certain someone flashes in her mind.
