2405 Taking Responsability . . I comforted Hydros after she told me everything that happened. Apparently her wishes to remain as "something that wouldn't bother me" were so strong that her will manifested within the bloodline of our child, weakening it enough to not tell me about her. Yet our daughter's appearance and everything, and the connection I instantly felt when I saw her and my grandson… Well, it was quite obvious they were still my family and my blood. I hugged her and let her cry on my shoulder, she was as big if not bigger than Brontes, and quite muscular too, seeing her crying like a baby didn't suit her, poor girl. "There, there, everything is okay," I caressed her long red hair, looking at her beautiful face and cleaning her big eye's tears. It was going to take time, but I wasn't going to give up on this family either. It is my responsibility; I love many and I created a tremendous family, but I will always work my hardest to find time for everyone equally. And I will never call this a mistake either, if anything, it's a beautiful surprise. "Thank you for raising our daughter, Hydros… I'm very sorry. I'll do my best to amend for the time I wasn't here for you two." I caressed her face as she held my hands. "Kireina…" she kept crying. "Please don't apologize anymore… I… I still… I still love you… And I would…" So she still loves me? I thought her thing was just a little horny night but… "I would never hate you…" she smiled. "You were the one that gave me this new body, a body I love so much and I'm so happy with… I once was a very sad person, someone that didn't know their path, nor knew their destiny. But this is perhaps what I truly wanted. I'm happy like this but… I… well, I still love… I've never stopped loving you." I guess she had these feelings for me. I was indeed very cold. "I see… You've gone through a lot," I nodded. "You're so beautiful right now, I don't know why, Hydros. I'll take responsibility for that too and love you back." Maybe become a mother made her even more beautiful, but there's something in her I cannot resist now… She blushed as I approached my lips towards her and kissed her, it was going to be a brief kiss, but after her initial shock, she hugged me tightly and started kissing me passionately. And damn, she kissed really good. She put her tongue in between our lips, and I ended sucking on it while we kissed. Eventually she pushed me into the bed and continued kissing me like she lived from it. "Ahh… Hydros…" I sighed in relief, after she finally separated her lips from mine. "Kireina…" she muttered, kissing my neck again. "Since that day that there hasn't been a night… I-I haven't thought about you." "Is that so?" I giggled, caressing her head. I quickly sat down, as I kissed her nose. "Ahh! S-Sorry, did I get too ahead of myself?!" she quickly moved away from me and lowered her head. "I'm so sorry…" "It's fine, you're the mother of my daughter," I patted her big thighs. "You have the right to do that at the very least… I guess we got a bit passionate there, but let's go back to the original topic, alright?" "Ah, yes…" she nodded. "So what happened at the end made it, so I was unable to detect our daughter's birth," I sighed. "I was wondering if she would let me reawaken her bloodline? I noticed my grandson only had one wing; I could fix that too." "If it were up to me, I would gladly let you," said Hydros. "But I have no idea how our daughter might react. I doubt she'll let you… get closer to our grandson." "Ugh, I guess… I think I can do it from afar though," I said. "Wait, really?!" she wondered. "Yes," I nodded, patting her big hands. "It's the very least I could do for that boy, its quite sad he only has one wing after all, right?" "Hmm, that's right…" nodded Hydros. "He had always wanted to fly using his wings but because he only has one, it's simply impossible. It would be really nice!" "Alright, what's his name by the way?" I asked. "He's called Triton!" said Hydros. "The name of another fallen Sea God, cool right?" "Really good! You're amazing with names Hydros," I patted her shoulders. "Mooch." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞 I kissed her lips warmly, as she happily kissed me back three more times. "A lot of time has happened even more for you but… I'm really grateful you still hold this love for me," I said. "I always commit mistakes… no matter how hard I try not to. So at the very least, let me amend for them, and help as much as I can." 22:55 "You've helped enough! T-This entire paradise, the island, the new chances I had, everything is thanks to you, maybe that's why I just can't really get upset against you," she held my hands. "I-I wish one day you could… well, maybe it's selfish. Never mind." "What is it?" I asked. "To be your wife?" she wondered, looking down. "It is a silly fantasy of mine." "Alright." "E-Eh? So soon?!" "Well, I've become more assertive now, after living so many experiences, I've realized that sometimes, postponing things is just meaningless." "Ahh… Kireina… I-It makes me so happy…" She looked embarrassed, fidgeting with her long red hair while looking down. I recall she was quite hyperactive and a bit clingy back then… But why has she become so gorgeous and cute now?! Can't believe I've been ignoring such a cutie… I'm the worst. "Alright, here." I manifested a beautiful ring combining several cosmic materials and my powers, through Cosmic Star Forging Skills. It was both a Maxima Summon and also an Ego, a guardian for her and our family. "This ring… f-for me?!" Her dark blue skin grew redder in embarrassment. "Yep, can you give me your hand?" "Ahh… T-This is like… am I still dreaming?" "You're not… I'm very sorry for making you even believe that, Hydros." I gently placed the ring in her middle finger, it fit just right. The red jewel shone brightly, making her even happier. "Kireina! My love!" And then she jumped over me. . . .
