Book 12: Prologue


    Miss, do you have anything you have to do tomorrow? Your mother has ns and wants to talk with you.


    The young girl sat up from her bed and then touched her ears. She looked at the maid carrying in a drink and replied, Hmm? No. I am off tomorrow. I dont have any ns. Is Dading back tomorrow?


    A red silhouette shed over from behind. She looked at the young girl and frowned. Your father wont make it back tomorrow. He told us to go over. Even though youre at home, arent you too ck?


    The maid bowed. Her mom looked at her and gave her a nod. She then ced the drink on the table at the entrance. Her mom turned to look at her daughter and pointed at her.


    The young girl lingered for a short moment ,and then checked her shorts to confirm that the most important part of her perfect body wasnt revealed before lying back down on her bed. She squirmed with her tail andined, It doesnt matter. Its so hot. If I could, I wouldnt even want to wear clothes. I want to hang my tail out, too. Why do I have to keep it in my skirt?!


    Only your husband can stroke your tail! Its indecent to have your tail exposed. Youre a girl, so you must practice the mannerisms of a girl, and protect your tail properly. That is a gift for your future husband. Not only is it about cherishing yourself, but also a form of respect for your husband!


    She gently wagged her red tail around in the air. The young girl then sat up and looked at her mom with her eyes narrowed. Her mom wore a very stern expression, but the way she wagged her tail around gave away her true mood already. The young girl mischievously smiled. So youve already prepared your tail for dad?


    Her mothers pretty face turned red. Her ears jolted, but she maintained her long face. I am your dads wife, after all. My tail should be reserved for your father to touch, so its fine for me to wait for tomorrow! Not you, though! Put your tail in your skirt properly!


    The young girl curiously asked her mother, I heard about Dad and your past. Mom, what was the deal with you and Marvel?


    Nothing. We were initially in love with each other as part of a political marriage. Then, we took different sides. Marvel is considered the hero of anthropoids of the North. Theres a statue of him on the fountain in the Imperial City, isnt there? replied her mother. She narrowed her crescent-moon eyes before continuing, Marvel and I mm I still had feelings for him when he died, but the one who was always by my side protecting me was your father. I was an escapee of the North at the start. Marvel rejected me. I do understand his reasons, but it still upset me. When your fathers guards ostracised me, your father chose to protect me. Your father was the one who always protected me no matter when.


    I see responded the young girl, nodding as though she was pondering something. What about Dad, then? Were going to the pce tomorrow, right? To be honest its a little far


    Thats right. Pack your stuff, as well be going to the pce tomorrow. Arent you on vacation now? Stay in the pce for the holidays. Mm Vera, Nona and Daisy should all be on vacation, as well. You can go out to y together.


    Ling Yue turned her red body. Her fur on her tail stood up with excitement that couldnt be held back simrly to an excited dog. The young girl was amused. Her mom really liked her dad. She got excited as if she was a child whenever she got to see her dad.


    She had three sisters. They were stepsisters who shared the same father, but different mothers. Their rtionship was decent. Despite the four of them rarely meeting in the past  since they didnt live together  the four of them were friendly with each other. As a matter of fact, they got along very well.


    Speaking of which, can I ask Dad about the past? About the war in the North, that is. Im very curious about what exactly Dad did at the time. Why does Dad never tell me about what happened at that time?


    With a slight smile, her mom exined, I dont think your dad will tell you if you ask him. Thats a memory your dad doesnt want to recall. Your father now rules as a fair King. Thews that he and Freya established are the foundation of the nationsws. He requires absolute fairness when judging others, which is unlike anything before. Additionally, your father hasnt killed in a long time, right? As long as they dont vite thews, he wont kill them. However, your father wasnt that way back then.


    Her mother narrowed her eyes. Thats a time period your father doesnt want to recall. He was too crazy at the time. If I wasnt by his side, the entire North might have been destroyed. If you want to know more, you need to go and ask Tanya or Shusia.


    Is Sis Tanya in the pce right, now as well?


    Uhm. Tanya and Shusia are both around. Tanya protects your father, while Shusia protects us.


    The young girl nodded, and theny back down on her bed. She rolled left and right on her bed and said, Aaahh, I want to hurry and get to the pce I miss Dad so much! Dad is a bit too mean, as well. Why doesnt hee to see us more often? You, too, mom, why didnt you just choose to go to the pce as Mommy Lucia and Mommy Nier did when you had the choice to at the time?


    Mommy couldnt go back then precisely because of Lucia and Nier.


    Her mom walked into the room, and then sat down on the edge of the bed. She gently hugged her daughter and affectionately touched her furry tail. Her daughters tail was the exact same as hers. Even the pattern was the same. However, her hair was gradually changed colour to resemble her lovers hair colour. In essence, her hair colour was a gradient. Looking at her daughter was the same as looking at the image of her and husband together.


    Mommy had things to do, while your father also had his own things to do. Mommy got pregnant with you purely because mommy was being wilful; thus, mommy couldnt burden your father. If your father had to take care of mommy, as well, then he wouldnt have had time to improve the North, and the North would, therefore, not be the way it is now. Moreover, this is Mommys true home. Mommy was born here and grew up here, so Mommy had every reason to return here.


    The young girl pouted. But we cant see Dad here


    We can definitely see him if we want to. We are not together all the time, so when we do get the opportunity to be together, we feel particrly happy. Her mom gave her a kiss on her cheek. Then, she chuckled. Your hair and eyes also strongly resemble your father, so seeing you is the equivalent of seeing your father. When Mommy just left your father and returned here, Mommy was honestly the same as you. Mommy would sometimes dream of your father. I would have dreams of me acting high and mighty in front of your father, but hed still smile affectionately. Id always wake up with my face covered in tears. I also kept considering if I should give up everything, and just stick with your father all the time as Freya does


    Are you talking about when the North was just started up?


    Yes. That was when your father returned to the Imperial Pce of the North and officially started his rule.
