Ari (Child of the Beastman Goddess)

After dinner was served in my room, the servants also gave me a box containing a necklace. They said it was from my mom.

“But do I still need this even if I’m already pregnant?” I asked curiously.

“Yes, your highness. It’s not only a suppressant of heat and scent. It can help you use the ring without using your power. The necklace will also bring you back here if you suddenly have a sudden fluctuation of power,” the servant explained.

“I see… It would be quite convenient. Send my gratitude to my mother. I couldn’t go to her right now because I’m feeling under the weather, but I’ll meet her tomorrow before we all leave,” I instructed.

“Yes, your highness,” she answered before she left my room.

The next morning, we had our breakfast with my parents for the last time. We decided to go back after the meal. They were both emotional, but they didn’t change their mind despite the heartbreaking goodbye.

“Are you sure about this?” my mother asked.

“Yes, Mother,” I answered.

She kissed my forehead and sealed my power and prestige. I tried to transform to check, but I could no longer transform to my passive – aggressive form.

“I love you my dear daughter. Please always be safe. I’ll visit you often,” my mother cried as she hugged me tightly.

“I love you too mom. I’ll do your instructions and will wait for your visit anytime,” I replied while hugging her back tightly.

“My princess… Please be careful even if you have many capable males. Take care of yourself. I’ll visit with your mother some time. Just tell me if one of them treats you poorly. I love you my dearest,” my father said as I pulled away from my mother to hug him too.

“I love you too, Dad. Take care of Mom. Please visit me always. I’ll be waiting for you both,” I grinned before pulling away to go to Dillon’s side.

We all lowered our heads as we said goodbye to my parents and the Immortals.

Dylan opened the portal to the North to get our belongings and to thank the Horned Owl Tribe for letting my people stay for a long time.

It was already the first month of spring when we arrived back at the mortal land.

“We welcome you back to the mortal land our goddess of the sun,” Aquil greeted.

“Rise. I am no longer a goddess. I sincerely thank you for accommodating my people and I wish you could make my identity hidden to everyone. I will be living among the mortals from today onwards,” I corrected.

“Please my goddess… I mean, my dear visitor. Do not lower your head before the servants like us. We are greatly blessed to be given a chance of meeting you in person and to serve you for a short time,” Aquil pleaded.

I stood back up and grinned at him and said, “I’d like to grant you a wish as a reward. Please do not reject me. I’ll do my best to fulfill your wish.”

“Oh my! You being here has already been a blessing to our tribe, but if you insist, there is only one wish we’d like to acquire. We want to learn how to create the book you made. The one you used to inscribe the translation of the ancient stones,” he answered honestly.

“Honey, let me do it. You’re not allowed to do any hard work,” Dillon whispered.

“I’ll help too. I won’t let you lift a finger,” Macan volunteered.

“We’ll grant your wish, but my sister needs a total rest because she’s unwell. We’ll be her hands and show you the process of making a book,” my brother declared.

“Brother..,” I mumbled.

“Just take some rest with Tora, we’ll handle everything for you,” he smiled as he stroked my hair.

“Thank you!” I beamed and smiled back at him.

“We also wish to have a healer to attend to my wife,” Dylan asked.

“As you wish. Please rest first to your dedicated dwelling and we will send the tribal healer for the goddess,” Aquil replied.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Dillon suddenly lifted me in his arms and brought me to the dwelling place that we previously used.

Luckily, all of our belongings were well kept by the alpha of the Horned Owl Tribe. Everything was perfectly maintained.

Tora and my brother went back to their room with their hatchling to rest so I also started to rest on my bed. Dillon laid down beside me while hugging me and stroking my hair while Lowell was hugging my waist.

A few minutes later, someone came knocking on the door. It was the tribal healer.

Dylan came to him and said, “Don’t inform anyone about my wife’s condition just like the last time.”

He nodded and walked near me. Dillon and Lowell rolled down from the bed to give way to the healer. Macan moved near to observe.

He started to check the pulse on my wrist and looked at me, then asked, “Have you been sleeping well?”

“I was having trouble with my sleep last night and I do feel quite exhausted and sleepy today,” I answered.

“Pardon me for asking. May I know what happened to your previous pregnancy?”

I laughed and said, “This is my first pregnancy.”

“Pardon?” he jolted and looked at Dylan.

“She’s telling the truth. I had to suppress her pregnancy, but it hasn’t even been quite a long time because of the time difference between Nirvana and here. She’s pregnant for more than a month,” Dylan said.

“May I have the honor to look at the marks?” the tribal healer asked.

Dillon and Dylan showed their marks and he said, “The children are in good condition, however, have you been stressed out lately?”

“She does. She just lost her sister in the battle when she fought with the god of death,” Macan said to the tribal healer.

“B-Battle? My goodness! Have you been injured anywhere?” he asked, checking my body.

Macan suddenly grabbed his hand and said, “She’s been healed by her father. Don’t touch her arbitrarily. She’s not comfortable with that.”

“Oh! I see… I’m sorry,” he said, lowering his head.

After checking my condition, Lowell and Macan discussed something with the tribal healer. I was given some calming tonic and some nutritional soup that I needed to take until I gave birth.

We stayed for another week to teach Horned Owls how to make paper and books for a week. My morning sickness was so troublesome that I couldn’t go out even for a little bit.
