Chapter 11: Missing Girl.

(*Lia’s POV*)

I don’t quite recall when I picked up this habit, but I always end up cuddling with Celia while we sleep. This morning was no different, as both Nia and I were snuggling with her once again.

I wish that I could say good morning to her, but she has been sleeping for two days now… Do her evolutions really take this long to complete?

She did shine a bright white light, but after the light went away she looked just the same as before. The only difference was, that she did not wake up.

Lia: “Nia… When will Celia wake up?” I ask with a sad tone.

Nia: “I cannot see into her future anymore… I did look into my future, and she will be back in a few days, don’t worry about it.” She said with a warm tone.

Lia: “I still worry…” I say with a sad sigh.

Trying to start my day without Celia, was far harder than I originally thought that it would be. Somewhere along the time we’ve known each other, we became completely dependent on each other.

Without Celia, it’s as if my day doesn’t even start. Like my time was frozen, and won’t move again until she is back with us. Luckily, since Yona is the queen, she was able to get Nia and I to skip classes, without anything bad happening to our grades.

I was really happy about this, as unlike that last academy, I actually care about my grades in this one. If I went to my classes in this state, I would have most likely gotten bad grades.

At Gelvious, every third class in each subject will have a test. So it is pretty easy to fail out of any class if you mess up enough times.

I felt like a child, not being able to function without Celia… Luckily, Nia was there for me. She truly helped me cope with this shitty situation. If it wasn’t for her, I would have just stayed by Celia’s side the entire time and neglected my health.

Despite how Yooni and I would argue, I truly miss that annoying demon… The reason why I am so mature is most likely because I had Yooni there with me. With her, I was never really alone.

I do miss her, but from Celia’s and Nia’s words, Yooni went out on her own terms. So I can’t just laze around and be sad about losing her.

After having Nia and the maids help me bathe, and get ready for the day, I headed to the dining room. In an odd turn of events, Yona, Solia, and Amelie, all treat Nia and I as their actual daughters.

Their love and kindness wasn’t limited just to Celia. It was truly nice to have so many caring mothers take care of you. Sure, my birth mother is good too, but these three women are on a different level.

Everyone was at the table but they waited for me to get there. With a smile, I sat down on a free chair, and wondered what kind of breakfast we would be having this morning.

Yona: “Lia dear? You still seem a little depressed. You can talk to us if you want to, dear.” She said with a warm tone.

Lia: “I am fine, Mom… I mean, Lady Yona. There isn’t really much to talk about, as I just miss Celia greatly.” I say with a weak smile.

Yona: “You can call me Mom if you wish, dear. And even so, I still feel worried about you.” She said with a concerned tone.

Solia: “Lia, you can talk to us. We’re family after all.” She said with a caring tone.

Lia: “I am fine, truly.” I reply.

Ria: “That is a blatant lie, Lia. Anyway, to make you feel better, I figured out why Celia is still sleeping.” She said with a giggle.

Lia: “Really!? Please tell me!” I yell in excitement.

Ria: “You see, when she evolves, her soul is separated from her body. Which is why she falls asleep. This is what caused her to sleep for a long time.” She explained.

Lia: “So… When will she wake up?” I ask with a nervous tone.

Ria: “It is hard to say, as her soul leaving her body, isn’t the real cause of her sleeping.” She replied.

Lia: “Then… what is?” I ask with a confused tone.

Ria: “A Goddess from a different dimension kidnapped her. Well, she took her soul at least. She needed Celia to save a woman for her, and since Celia’s soul was free for the taking, she took it.” She answered.

Amelie: “What the hell? Then we have to get her back!” She yelled.

Lia: “That’s right! What are we sitting around for anyway?” I yell in agreement.

Ria: “I am sure that Celia appreciates your concern, and desire to save her, but you cannot do anything. Her soul is in another’s body, and she is in a different dimension. Only beings as powerful as I can travel to different dimensions.” She denied.

Lia: “So… all we can do is just sit around and wait for her to get back? What if that Goddess doesn’t bring her back?” I ask with a serious tone.

Ria: “I’ve already spoken to her. Well, I threatened her... Celia will return when she deals with the threat against the woman she has to protect.” She replied with a calm tone.

Nia: “Lia, we just have to wait a little while. Just hang on until then.” She said with a warm tone.

Nia and Yona both looked to be quite calm after hearing this news. But I can easily tell that they’re super pissed off, just like I am. They just prefer to remain calm. At least on the outside.

Ria: “All of your worried gazes sadden me greatly. But you all are in luck, as I plan on going to that dimension to protect Celia, and help her with her mission.” She said with a happy and proud tone.

Yona: “…”

Amelie: “…”

Nia: “…”

Lia: “…”

Solia: “…”

Amelie: “You’re just happy that you can go see Celia, and keep her to yourself for a while, aren’t you?” She said with a slightly angry tone and expression.

Ria: “I shall tell you no lies dear, so yes, that is mostly why I am so happy.” She said with a giggle.

Amelie: “Have you completely given up on chasing after me? Celia isn’t my replacement, right?” She asked with a serious tone.

Ria: “Absolutely not! I still wish to marry you. And I will hopefully be doing that somewhat soon. What do you say? Want to go on a date with me when I get back?” She proposed.

Amelie: “…”

Ria: “Is that a yes, or no?” She asked with a smug expression.

Amelie: “Hold on… I am shocked that I almost said yes to your proposal… Fucking hell, just go get Celia back before I do something that I will regret!” She demanded.

Lia: “Like what? Go on a date with Ria?” I ask with a giggle.

Amelie: “Yes! Now, you cheeky Goddess, go save our daughter!” She demanded once more.

With a happy giggle, Ria quickly disappeared. Ria is stupidly powerful, so Celia will most likely be home sometime soon.

Since I knew that Ria was going to help her, I spent the rest of the day in a very happy mood. Before going to sleep, I kissed Celia on the forehead, and then quickly fell asleep while holding her in my embrace.
