A new race
After putting Eris to bed, she fell asleep right away.
'She must have been really tired... Well, anyway, let's go to sleep.'
After I had lain down on the bed, suddenly a hand grabbed mine. I looked at her, and she was still sleeping. Looking closely, I noticed that she was crying. Amidst the tears, I could hear that she was saying something, but I was not able to hear it properly from where I was, so I had to get close.
"Please don't go. I don't want to be alone anymore."
She kept repeating it over and over again, and each time she did, she grew sadder and more agitated. Seeing her in such a state for some reason was painful, but what I truly could not bear was what she said; it made me feel something deep inside, a pain I could not describe.
'What did you go through to be so scared?'
I thought as I hugged her and tried to comfort her, but nothing seemed to work, so I started singing a lullaby. After she calmed down, I whispered a few words in her ear.
"Don't worry, I will not go anywhere."
After hearing these words, she completely relaxed. Seeing her like that put a smile on my face and put my heart at ease.
'[Global Wisdom] Tomorrow we must talk.'
[...]
That night, I had the weirdest dream of my life. Once I woke up, I noticed that Eris was still asleep in my arms since I didn't want to wake her up. I tried to slide out of bed; sadly, it didn't work. She woke up the moment I lifted my head out of the pillow.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
I said while caressing her head.
"Are you going somewhere?"
She said, with a worried look on her face, looking at her in that way made me remember what happened the night before.
"I was planning to prepare something to eat. I didn't want to wake you up since you looked so adorable while sleeping."
[Are you trying to seduce your own child?]
'Can't i say what i think anymore without somebody turning it into something obscene.'
I was having an internal monologue while Eris was turning bright red like a bell pepper.
Suddenly somebody knocked at the door.
"Who is there?"
"Your Majesties, your breakfast is ready."
"Come inside."
The moment the door opened, the same red-haired maid I saw the first time came inside.
'I wonder why she is always the only maid helping me around.'
Eris noticed my doubt and confusion about the actual circumstances and introduced her to me.
"Did I not tell you?"
"...What?"
"This maid asked me to be your personal maid; that is why she is the one always attending you ."
"I see, now I understand what happened."
"Excuse me for my late introduction. I'm the maid appointed to serve her."
The maid said while bowing her head. Now that I understood the situation, a few questions came to mind.
"Why...?"
"Excuse me?"
"Why did you want to be my personal maid? I mean, if it was an order from Eris, I could understand that, but you volunteered to do it. Why?"
The maid took a few moments to think about what she would say, maybe because we were brought there; she must have felt a huge pressure. After some minutes of silence to think, she finally opened her mouth.
"I don't know."
"...eh?"
"Sorry, Mom, I will change her right away."
"Why should you? It looks like she still has something to say...right?"
"Yes."
"Then please finish what you were saying."
"As you wish. It's true that I don't know why I volunteered for this place, but if I have to find a reason, it will be out of curiosity. I was curious to see what kind of person our queen mother was, and what better way to understand that than to work close to you."
"Hmm... you see me as a person worthy of your curiosity, eh?"
"I'm really sorry, Mom!"
"For what?"
"For the disrespectful behavior of my maid! Later I will make sure to scold her accordingly."
"You don't need to; I found this answer quite interesting, and if she feels free to say all of this without fear, it means you are a good queen."
After assuring Eris that I was not bothered about what the maid said, I walked close to her.
"Anyway, what is your name ?"
"I don't have one."
"Is it alright if I give you one?"
"Yes!"
The maid's eyes started to shine; she seemed quite happy with the idea.
"Then let me think of a nice name...hmm, what about Rose? Do you like it?"
"Yes, I will gladly accept the name."
"Once again, it's nice to meet you, and from today on I will be in your care."
"The pleasure is mutual..."
"Call me Nyx. We will be together most of the time; it will be uncomfortable to call me by my title in the long run."
"As you wish, Lady Nyx."
After properly establishing a relationship with the new maid, she helped me dress up.
While having breakfast, I told Eris what I was planning to do for the day. At first, she looked sad that she could not stay with me for the day, but I promised her that for the next four days we would do what she wanted. After hearing my proposal, she immediately switched her mood.
After finishing eating, I headed to the training hall right away; that was in the palace undergrounds. Needless to say, Rose came with me.
"Are you sure I can use my full strength there?"
"Yes, the queen personally made that place, so it's safe to think that you can just go all out."
"I see Eris built it herself. I can already imagine what kind of place it is."
Once we reached the training, I was not really surprised it was what you would expect for a fantasy training hall, but the thing that caught my eye was the size of that place.
'How come it's bigger than my dressing room'
I thought as I walked to the center of that place and sat down for a moment, looking around, I thought that place would fit even a mountain inside and still have enough space.
'She really likes overdoing things. Anyway i think now somebody has something to say right, [Global Wisdom]?'
[Ehm...what do you want to know?]
'Explain everything.'
[Should we start from Eris.]
'Who is she?'
[She is really your daughter.]
'How can that be? Is she from when i was a normal angel?'
[No, she is from early then that time.]
'What do you mean.'
[...]
'Tell me!'
[I can't.]
'Why?'
[...]
'All of these secrets are starting to get on my nerves.'
[If you want to know more, you will have to ask the goddess; not even in this dungeon you are completely safe.]
'Sigh, fine, let me check my status since i didn't had the time since i wake up.'
[As you wish.]
