"Eileen..."
Medivh looked at Eileen in front of him and suddenly felt that his body no longer hurt.
He felt completely refreshed!
It was truly authentic!
Medivh blinked his big eyes, a look of innocence in them, and asked Eileen nervously, "Is this your clone?!"
For Medivh, whether the Eileen in front of him was a clone or the real person was truly important.
"Oh la~"
"Of course, it's the real me."
"I found a loophole in Selene's magic circle and just came in."
"What? Do you not welcome me?"
Eileen said, sitting beside Medivh. She stared intently at Medivh, a hint of resentment flickering in her eyes, as if Medivh were some heartless man.
"Welcome, welcome..."
"A warm welcome!"
How could Medivh dare to say no?!
Medivh could feel that if he showed even a tiny bit of reluctance, Eileen would immediately turn dark.
How brutal could Eileen be after turning dark?!
That scene was truly too beautiful; Medivh didn't even dare to think about it.
"Haha, look at how nervous you are?"
"You and I are an old married couple..."
"Between us, it's not an exaggeration to say that we understand each other best in this world! Do you really need to be so afraid of me?"
Eileen looked at Medivh's nervous expression and immediately burst into laughter...
Her bright eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and her slender, jade-like hand gently caressed Medivh's cheek, saying softly, "Medivh, all these years, I've been missing you. Missing you very, very much."
"Me too, I've been missing you all this time."
Medivh's eyes trembled slightly; some emotion seemed to be brewing in his heart...
Medivh tightly gripped Eileen's slender, jade-like hands that were caressing his face, his expression agitated: "It's been four hundred years, and I've let you bear the pain of separation all this time. That's my mistake! Eileen, I've always loved you."
Without any extra movements, Medivh started with a zero-frame move, expressing his love!
Long live the straight shot!!!
"No, that wasn't your mistake."
"Four hundred years ago, my power wasn't strong enough, and my heart wasn't ruthless enough..."
"That's what caused your sacrifice!"
"But not anymore..."
"After four hundred years of effort!"
"I now possess the power to protect you."
"Before, you protected me, but now I will protect you!"
"From today onwards..."
"No one can separate our family anymore..."
"Not even the invincible 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia."
Eileen's attitude was very firm, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
Four hundred years had passed; Eileen was no longer the naive little girl she once was.
"Mm! We will never be separated again."
Medivh's eyes were firm; this time, they would face everything together.
"Oh la~"
Just as Eileen and Medivh held hands, and the atmosphere between them in the hospital room gradually warmed.
Eileen seemed to remember something important. She narrowed her eyes and asked Medivh, "Speaking of which, Medivh, you still haven't explained to me what's going on between you and that little slutty Dragon, 'Moon God Dragon' Selene?!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Medivh heard this and couldn't stop coughing. He was sweating profusely, his expression panicked. He had just managed to muddle through, but he didn't expect a death question right off the bat.
How was he supposed to answer this?
Medivh was immediately stumped. Was he supposed to tell Eileen that because the reward for the first Crossing hadn't arrived, he truly thought the second Crossing was a dream...
And as a result, he gave up on himself and had a blast in the second simulated timeline?!
How did that saying go?
It's my own dream; how can I let you bully me?
I'll do whatever I damn well please!
And then, there was no 'then'...
The final result, everyone knew.
"Hahaha..."
"Look at how nervous you are..."
"Medivh, you don't need to say more. I know it was all just an accident."
"My love for you, I already understood very clearly four hundred years ago!"
"There's no longer any need for you to express it with words or actions."
Eileen gently comforted Medivh, telling him there was no need to panic so much.
Eileen had never doubted Medivh's loyalty.
After all, four hundred years ago...
Medivh had once, for her, burned his life and sacrificed himself to trap the dragons in the sky, as promised, not letting a single dragon sneak attack their rear.
Love proven by death needs no further explanation.
"Eileen..."
Medivh felt a slight warmth in his heart upon hearing this. He knew Eileen wouldn't misunderstand him.
Although his behavior was indeed quite scummy, it was already one percent of Gildarts's level.
No, someone like Medivh, who wasn't intentionally scummy, wasn't called scummy!
Gildarts, who was knowingly scummy, that was scummy!
But looking at Gildarts's level, calling him scum was an overstatement...
Even the most affectionate man from Jiangnan would give Gildarts a thumbs up and say, "Big Brother 666!"
Hmm, Gildarts is a pure beast.
Gildarts: "I'm really fed up. I'm out on a mission, and I still get stepped on?! I'm sitting at home, and trouble comes from the sky! That's what it is..."
"Besides, I'll say it again, first of all, we are all adults, and secondly, we are all willing, you understand, willing?!"
"Anyway..."
"I won't pursue the matter with Selene."
"But it's only limited to you betraying me once."
"Consider it a reward for you sacrificing a life for me."
Eileen said, forgiving Medivh.
Hmm, of course she forgave him!
"Eileen, I love you to death."
Medivh heard this, pulled Eileen into his arms, and fiercely kissed Eileen's beautiful cheek (づ￣3￣)づ╭～, as if he wanted to make up for everything he had lost in the past four hundred years.
"Stop, stop, stop..."
"Let me say this first!"
"If I find out that besides Selene, you have any other mistresses, and betray our feelings again, then I won't spare you!"
Eileen first reached out and blocked Medivh's face as he leaned in to kiss her, then looked at Medivh seriously and warned him.
However, Eileen's warning was only halfway through when she seemed to deflate, saying helplessly, "Although, I'll probably still forgive you. Who told me I'm so deeply captivated by you that it's like a ghost has possessed me~"
"Eileen..."
Medivh was deeply moved by Eileen's words. How lucky was he to marry a wife like Eileen?!
"Of course, the prerequisite for me to forgive you is that you can revive again."
Just as Medivh's heart was about to be swallowed by his love, emotion, and repentance for Eileen, Eileen's voice once again sounded in his ear.
"It's fair, right?"
"Cheat once, die once..."
"If you can revive, then our past grievances will be wiped clean, and I will fall in love with you again, continue to be your wife, never leaving your side."
"If you cannot revive, then I will cast an eternal, undying curse on all your mistresses, so they can never die and meet you in the world of the dead."
"Then I will commit suicide and go to the world of the dead to reunite with you."
"Medivh, don't make me do this~"
When Eileen said this, her smile was somewhat bleak, and her face was so pale that Medivh felt a chill. Although the warm air in the room was turned up high, Medivh still felt terribly cold...
"Haha..."
For a moment, Medivh suddenly laughed.
When did he start having the illusion that Eileen hadn't turned dark?!
So, is there a possibility?!
That the beautiful Eileen-chan, she was never innocent from the very beginning?!
"What a sin!"
Medivh's heart trembled violently.
"Speaking of which, there's one more thing."
Eileen continued, as if she had thought of something else, and spoke to Medivh.
"What is it?"
Medivh was puzzled. He looked up at Eileen and asked.
At this moment, Medivh's expression held caution and prudence...
He didn't dare to provoke Eileen, whose mental state was clearly problematic.
Of course, Medivh wasn't afraid of Eileen hurting him.
But he couldn't gamble with Magnolia Town, or even the Fiore Kingdom!
So many lives, he couldn't afford to gamble...
"That seductive slut, Selene, keeps showing off to me about having two children with you! I simply can't stand it..."
"I think it's time for us to give Erza a younger brother or sister?"
"Of course, preferably one of each!"
Eileen held Medivh's hand, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
"Wait?!"
"You said Selene and I have two children in total?"
Medivh was bewildered.
Eileen's words completely stunned him; even Medivh himself didn't know that he and Selene had a total of two children.
"You've probably already met Ere."
"There's also a child named Kurnugi, who's always so cheeky. Just a few days ago, he and Ere used Selene's power to break through the magic circle I placed around the Ishgar continent and came to this continent."
"I also relied on these two little rascals, on the few microseconds of spatial gap created when they entered the Ishgar continent, to successfully leave a passage on the Ishgar continent that could bypass Selene's magic circle..."
"It's just that this child, Kurnugi, doesn't seem to be in the Fiore Kingdom at the moment, but is traveling in other countries on the Ishgar continent. This gives me a headache, after all, Selene's magic circle that blocks aura is really limited in range! I can't leave Magnolia Town to go catch him."
Eileen sighed helplessly as she spoke.
"Ah, this..." As for Medivh, he was dumbfounded at this moment. He never expected that the 'Scummy Saint Dragon' Kurnugi from the original work would become his son. This still made Medivh feel incredibly surprised.
"Alright, Medivh~"
"These things aren't important..."
"What's important is, it's time for you and I to give Erza a younger brother or sister."
As she spoke, Eileen Belserion was already straddling Medivh, her eyes like silken threads, and a pair of cool, jade-like hands gently caressing Medivh's chest.
"Isn't this making me make a mistake?"
Medivh's face flushed slightly, and he pursed his lips, feeling his body burn.
"Medivh, have I lost my charm?"
"Or, after four hundred years, are you no longer capable?"
Eileen Belserion's fingers drew circles on Medivh's chest, and she breathed hot air into Medivh's earlobe.
"Damn it! A true man can never say he can't…"
Medivh gritted his teeth and went for it!
So what if his body was a little injured at the moment?!
What did these injuries even count for?!
Seriously, a true man, just do it!
However, Medivh forgot one thing: a woman, this life form, is not simple at all. As the saying goes, thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger!
As for a four-hundred-year-old woman, she could already rival a Dragon King!
Outside the ward.
"Mmm-hmm."
Erza and Ere held hands; they had come to visit Medivh…
But once their keen senses picked up on something, they didn't dare push open the door and enter the ward. Just standing outside the ward and eavesdropping was enough to make one blush.
Who knew how much time had passed.
So long that Erza and Ere's legs had gone soft, only then did the ward door finally open. Eileen Belserion, with a hint of laziness on her face, looking somewhat satiated yet still a little unsatisfied, walked towards the two with elegant steps.
"You two, you've listened long enough, haven't you?!"
Eileen Belserion glanced at Erza and Ere, speaking coldly.
"Mother."
Erza's face was crimson with shame, not daring to look up at Eileen Belserion.
"Aunt Eileen…"
Ere took a deep breath, her expression filled with apprehension. She was afraid that Eileen Belserion wouldn't like her and would suddenly make things difficult for her. With her strength, she would absolutely be unable to escape Eileen Belserion's grasp.
"You must be Ere, right?"
"I've heard Selene mention you; you truly are a good child…"
"Since you are also Medivh's child, don't call me Aunt. Call me Mother."
Eileen Belserion gently stroked Ere's little head and said with a smile.
"Eh?!"
"Are you talking about me?"
"Can I really call you Mother?"
Ere first froze, then suddenly looked up…
Her eyes, as she looked at Eileen Belserion, shimmered with disbelief, and a hint of longing and expectation for maternal love.
Ere yearned for maternal love, perhaps because of the human bloodline at play within her. She had always hoped to receive love like a human.
"Of course~"
Eileen Belserion smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Ere.
"Mo…"
"Mother!"
Ere's face flushed with shyness. After taking a deep breath, she lowered her head and spoke to Eileen Belserion.
"I'm here."
"From today onwards, you are my, Eileen Belserion's, daughter."
Eileen Belserion gently stroked Ere's little head, her eyes gleaming with the light of wisdom.
How to drive away the mistress?!
First step: turn the mistress's child!
"Mother!"
Upon receiving Eileen Belserion's response, Ere rushed into Eileen Belserion's embrace…
Calling out to Eileen Belserion while greedily inhaling the scent from Eileen Belserion's body.
Eileen Belserion's appearance and tenderness were filling the maternal love that Ere lacked.
Eileen Belserion held Ere in her arms, comforting her while secretly thinking, "Selene, oh Selene! When you finally come to your senses, your children will all be mine. I wonder how you'll gain Medivh's love then. You were always just a shady little bitch anyway! It's nothing for me to deal with you, is it? Hehehe…"
"Wuwuwu…"
Inside the ward, Medivh turned over, looking at Ere and Eileen Belserion outside the door, who seemed like a family. His lips were dry, his face pale, as if his essence and blood had been drained.
"Too fierce! Truly too fierce…"
At this moment, a craving for power once again rose deep within Medivh's heart.
Eileen Belserion, who had endured for four hundred years, was no longer an opponent that the current Medivh could handle.
Eileen Belserion's strength exceeded Medivh's imagination.
"My dear, I'll be back here to see you tomorrow~"
Eileen Belserion, with Ere in her left arm and Erza in her right, gave Medivh in the ward a dazzling smile before leaving with the two girls.
"Coming again tomorrow?!"
Medivh thought to himself, unable to help but roll his eyes.
At this moment, Medivh experienced the pain of a big man.
On the other side, inside Medivh's villa.
This was Medivh's villa, so naturally, it was also Eileen Belserion's home.
During the days Eileen Belserion stayed in Magnolia Town, she would reside here.
Medivh's room was now Eileen Belserion's room, on the soft, large bed.
"Mother, please tell us a story!"
"Mother, I want to hear the story of you and Father…"
Ere and Erza clung to Eileen Belserion, constantly cooing.
"Oh dear! There's nothing I can do with you two…"
Eileen Belserion lay in the middle, with Ere on her left and Erza on her right. She seemed to be telling stories to her clinging daughters.
"Since this is what you've asked for…"
"Then let me tell you a little about the story of me and your Father~"
"In the ancient times, long, long ago!"
"That was an era when Dragons and humans coexisted…"
"The Dragon race was the undisputed overlord of this world!"
"At that time, humans didn't even have a way to harm Dragons…"
"The only way for humans to survive in this world was to ally with Dragons who were friendly to humans, gain the protection of these Dragons, and breathe in the cracks."
"However, not all Dragons were friendly with humans…"
"Some Dragons regarded humans as food and ants; they took pleasure in devouring and harming humans."
"It was an era filled with blood, violence, barbarism, and madness."
As Eileen Belserion spoke, her gaze was tinged with a hint of recollection.
"At that time, the Dragons who were friendly to humans and the Dragons who advocated for the extermination of humans were the two most powerful factions among the mainstream Dragon race!"
"Originally, although there were many conflicts between these two forces, since they were all Dragons, they could barely manage to coexist peacefully."
"But as the number of humans grew day by day! The proportion of Dragons who advocated for the extermination of humans also increased within the Dragon community, and the conflict between them and the Dragons who advocated for peace grew larger and larger…"
"Finally, one day, this conflict, accumulated through many small incidents, completely erupted! With the first fallen Dragon, the war began…"
"And I, your Mother, was the Queen of the Dragon Kingdom of Dragnof at that time!"
"With the help of Belserion, the 'Wise Dragon,' I gathered a group of Dragons friendly to humans and built the strongest kingdom in the world."
As Eileen Belserion spoke, her expression carried a hint of pride.
"Mother is so amazing~"
Erza and Ere, after all, knew how to provide emotional value; they kept praising Eileen Belserion.
"Hehe, how can I be as amazing as you say?"
"As for your Father, Medivh, he was one of my personal guard knights…"
As Eileen Belserion spoke, a look of happiness appeared on her face.
"As the war continued…"
"The strength of the Dragons friendly to humans grew weaker and weaker! Just as the war was about to end in defeat! Your Father made a request to me…"
"That was to use my Attachment magic to imbue him with Dragon attributes, allowing him to gain combat power comparable to a Dragon! This is the origin of the Dragon Slayer."
"Initially, the appearance of the Dragon Slayer did, to some extent, turn the tide of the battle and gave the world hope!"
"But this power was ultimately not enough, and our combat strength was still insufficient. Many people in the country, after seeing the power of Dragons, did not intend to become Dragon Slayers, but instead fled in a panic; they ran for their lives."
"Later, one day, your Father suddenly disappeared from my side. This made me feel a bit lonely and very disappointed! I thought he was different, that he would fight with me until the end, but I didn't expect even him to run away."
"Until my country lacked sufficient power and needed to form a marriage alliance with the general of the largest human kingdom in the east of the Ishgar continent! I met him again!"
"It turned out that the reason he disappeared from my side was to help me accumulate strength. He secretly cultivated a team of elite Dragon Slayers and continuously promoted the importance of this battle…"
As Eileen Belserion spoke, she began to laugh, her laughter incredibly radiant.
"That fool, when he appeared before me as a general at the time…"
"He still thought I hadn't recognized him~"
"He kept pretending in front of me as if we were meeting for the first time and he wasn't familiar with me, which was absolutely hilarious! In fact, the first time I saw him, I saw through his clumsy Mirror magic and his ridiculously comical acting. Medivh truly has no talent for acting."
"After that, we naturally got together, and then we had you~"
Eileen Belserion looked at Erza beside her, her eyes filled with serene maternal love.
"Wow~"
Erza and Ere, upon hearing this, almost simultaneously showed expressions of delight.
Perhaps there was nothing in this world more interesting than gossiping about one's own parents and enjoying their affection?!
"Haha~"
"For what happened next, you can read the history in the library."
"Now, go to sleep immediately."
Eileen Belserion said, turning off the light.
