At night, while everyone was still indulging in the feast and drinking, the Moon Night High Priestess, who maintained a good habit of early to bed and early to rise, said goodbye to the queen and prepared to rest.

Suddenly, Queen Victoria also entered the room, which greatly surprised her.

Usually, at this time, the Ice and Snow Queen would slip into Rody's room. What happened tonight? Was she coming back to change clothes? The Moon Night High Priestess remembered that the Ice and Snow Queen had a very revealing outfit, wearing it was almost like wearing nothing, and she said that Rody liked that outfit very much. Could it be that she was planning some trick to seduce Rody again?

“Eh? Why are you in bed already?” The Moon Night High Priestess went out to check the moon, and it was indeed rising in the east. Why was the Queen acting out of character?

“You seem very strange?” Queen Victoria smiled charmingly and said, “Do you think of me as a queen of lust who can't live a day without a man? Before I met Rody, I didn't have a man for over a thousand years, and I lived just fine. Actually, sleeping with Rody is not entirely for pleasure; being with him is especially comforting, it feels like having a companion and not being lonely and solitary!”

“I don’t understand, I think sleeping alone is quite good.” The Moon Night High Priestess couldn’t comprehend this feeling because she didn’t know what loneliness was.

“I forgot you haven’t grown up yet!” Queen Victoria covered her mouth and giggled, “Living a long life is indeed troublesome. Not to mention humans, even the Dragon Clan matures after living three thousand years, but you elves still remain like young girls.”

“If you only want to talk about these things, then please excuse me, I can’t keep you company. I have to pray to the Moon God and then go to sleep.” This was the Moon Night High Priestess's habit.

“Wait, can’t you chat with me for a while? Actually, I’ve always hoped to ease our relationship a bit. Don’t you think I have a bit of sincerity? Night Moon, I know you are a kind and good girl, pure-hearted, and as the High Priestess of the Moon God, you are free from distractions. In front of you, I feel a bit ashamed because I used means to take Rody away from your side. But Night Moon, do you know? A girl should actually be a bit braver. You don’t necessarily have to share a bed with Rody or be intimate with him like I do, but you should tell him your heart. You like him, you love him deeply. If you don’t say it, how would he know?” Queen Victoria sat up with the blanket, speaking very sincerely.

“I, I don’t like him, it’s just… I don’t know if it’s liking…” Night Moon said, a bit embarrassed, hiding in her blanket.

“Silly girl, don’t deceive yourself anymore,” Queen Victoria said affirmatively. “Of course, you like him!”

“He knows, I can’t say it, actually, I, I have already sworn to serve the Moon God for life, I can’t break my oath.” Night Moon spoke softly, “Although the Moon God is merciful, I don’t want to anger the Moon God and bring down calamity, so, I can’t say it.”

“You don’t have to say it, but you can do something to show your feelings!” Queen Victoria advised, “You can’t go on like this because there are other girls who like Rody, not just you and me. First is Jill, she is Rody’s first love, and now with her here, even I obediently come back to sleep. Don’t you understand? There are other girls too, like Chris in the human world, she is Rody’s most capable assistant. If Rody returns to the human world, it will be like now with Jill. She is equally important in Rody’s heart.”

“What are you trying to say? Your Majesty, do you not like Jill?” Night Moon asked, not quite understanding.

“I do like her. Jill is just like you; you both are still young, with pure hearts, and endearing. But both of you are not brave enough. Perhaps Jill is a bit braver than you, at least she always stays close to the man she loves, no matter what happens, she follows him. Why don’t you do the same?”

“Is Jill that brave?” Night Moon thought she could learn from Jill, but definitely not from Queen Victoria.

The Ice and Snow Queen had slept with Rody just days after meeting him and even did those embarrassing things; Night Moon could never do the same. As the High Priestess of the Elves, the whispers of the wind spirits told her what happened at night. If she didn't deliberately ignore Queen Victoria's nightly actions, she would be terrified.

Of course, even if she tried to ignore it, occasionally she would unintentionally hear strange noises, making her realize what the Ice and Snow Queen and Rody were doing.

Night Moon was curious, but mostly she didn't understand.

Being with him should be comfortable, but was it necessary to cry out so loudly? Maybe this was the Ice and Snow Queen’s unique way of expressing herself. The pure-hearted Moon Night High Priestess, though occasionally hearing certain sounds, slept peacefully every night, blessed by the aura of the Moon God and possessing the crystal-clear 'Elven Heart'. Her body, like a budding flower, was yet to bloom, so she couldn't understand the reactions of some mature women.

“Night Moon, can I be your sister?” Victoria asked after a moment of silence.

“Why?” Night Moon instinctively felt the Ice and Snow Queen had a motive for wanting to be her sister, but it might not be malicious, so she didn’t refuse.

“Actually, Night Moon, maybe Rody has many girls who like him, and he can’t be with you or me every day, or with Jill, or Chris. But to be honest, I want to spend more time with him. Do you understand? I believe you feel the same, right? Night Moon, think about it. If the two of us become sisters and get along well, then when I'm with Rody, you can also be there, and vice versa. Don’t you understand? I mean, if the two of us accompany him together, then we'll have more time. You still don't get it? It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll understand it later!” Queen Victoria explained for a long time, but Night Moon didn’t quite grasp it.

“Your Majesty, do you mean, during the day, or at night?” Night Moon thought for a moment and asked in surprise.

“Are you afraid of Rody in your heart?” Queen Victoria countered.

“No, but I, when you both sleep naked together, I can't be there because it affects my mind. My heart beats too fast, I can’t sleep, and my will falters. Rody's influence on me at night is too strong, I can’t sleep with him. During the day, it's okay, but Your Majesty, I can't do that, I can’t promise you…” Night Moon was somewhat panicky, feeling that the Ice and Snow Queen wanted to pull her into sleeping with Rody. If he made a move on her, she wouldn’t know how to refuse!

“You're grown up, you should learn some things. Maybe it's a bit early for you, but for Rody, it's just right. He's a human; he can't wait a thousand years for you. Night Moon, you like him, so it's okay to give a bit earlier,” Queen Victoria said with a light laugh.

“I, I don’t know.” Night Moon was actually undecided. She was passive towards Rody. Being alone with him was one thing, but she felt extremely shy with others present, unwilling to express her emotions too much. She thought it would be difficult for her to initiate something with Rody. If that bad guy tried something, that might be possible.

“If you’re willing to listen, I can tell you a little about the joys of intimacy. Maybe you can learn to kiss,” Queen Victoria offered to teach the Moon Night High Priestess, although she herself had only recently learned.

“I’ll listen, just listen, I can’t be like you…” Night Moon felt it was okay to listen out of curiosity.

“It’s too far to talk like this, some words need to be whispered in the ear, and I would feel embarrassed too. How about this, Night Moon, I’ll bring my blanket to your bed and we sleep together, okay?” Queen Victoria’s approach to getting closer finally worked. With sincerity, she successfully pulled the Moon Night High Priestess into her alliance. Although this alliance was just beginning and whether it would work out depended on the efforts of the Ice and Snow Queen.

…

“Marget, where’s Jill?” Queen Flick asked the beautiful instructor who came out of Rody’s room with a magic map, in a soft voice.

“She fell asleep, the little girl. She fell asleep listening to the exciting story. I haven’t seen her sleep so soundly in years, so I left her inside,” the beautiful instructor said, rubbing her eyes and yawning charmingly, “Queen, I’m going to rest too, good night.”

“Wait, the knowledge I asked you to tell Jill last time, did you tell her?” Queen Flick asked again softly.

“I don’t understand it myself. Isn’t it your responsibility to tell Jill about men and women?” The beautiful instructor blushed and shook her head.

“Sigh, I’m her aunt, an elder, it’s hard for me to bring it up. If something happens tonight, then she…” Queen Flick was startled and whispered, “Is it still possible now? Can you knock on the door and tell Rody?”

“There are so many people in the room, you don't need to worry. Sonia and Ollia are there, along with the honey fairy and the flower fairy. It’s crowded, Rody can only be a pillow brother, he can’t do anything, rest assured! It’s better if you tell Jill those things, I’m also her aunt, and I'm not very clear about it either, you should teach her,” the beautiful instructor shook her head.

“I’ll tell you first, then you can repeat it to her. I’m the queen, it’s hard for me to speak directly!” Queen Flick said softly, “If you still can't do it, then I will teach her. It’s not that complicated!”

“Let's talk about it later, I'm sleepy, good night!” The beautiful instructor, usually fearless, found this task from the queen a bit difficult and quickly excused herself.

A while later, after the beautiful instructor went to rest.

Queen Flick returned to her chamber, and King Flick came up to her, asking, “Did you talk to her?”

“I did, but I didn’t insist too much, afraid she would catch on! She’s so smart, if I insisted even a little, she would have known I wanted to teach her, not Jill! Such a grown-up girl still as wild as a boy, how can that be? I thought Buck and David could catch her eye, but she surpassed both of them, scaring those two cowards away. Thankfully, Rody’s strength can suppress her, or else I’d worry she’d end up alone! She’s too competitive,” Queen Flick sighed softly.

“Rody, I think, is tough too. That boy respects his teachers greatly, not seeing her as a beautiful woman, but as a teacher. As for Buck and David, don’t talk about those cowards. Not brave as men at all, what if they got rejected? You rejected me a thousand times and more, but now what? You finally became my queen! In terms of magic sword skills, I can’t match them, but among the Three Musketeers, in terms of the courage of a real man, I am definitely the first!” The king spoke of the past angrily but also with some pride.

“Among the Three Musketeers, you’re the one with the thickest skin!” The queen laughed and playfully flicked the king's forehead with her finger.

“How can a man chase a girl if he’s not thick-skinned?” The king laughed heartily, catching the queen's small hand and pulling her into his embrace. After a long, tender gaze in their private world, they parted with a smile, “Flick's girls are rare beauties in the world, but being too outstanding, many end up lonely for life. We can't let the same tragedy happen to Margret and others. My happy queen, you need to set a good example!”

“I’m not most worried about Margret, but about the one from three hundred years ago. Her status is extraordinary, and I'm just a junior in her presence, I can’t bring myself to speak, ah... Seeing her drowning her sorrows in alcohol every day, I really feel…” The queen sighed deeply.

“We can’t do anything if the princess’s heart knot can’t be untied. The day of the oath comes, and if Rody can speak and break the curse, things will improve. Otherwise, this tragedy will continue. How much longer, Flick, before you fully recover from the curse of the gods? So many have sacrificed their lives and blood for this, but so much youth and loyalty, so much blood and life, have been spent in vain, unable to break the curse of the gods... Flick, is there really no tomorrow?” The king held the queen tightly, his eyes filled with pain and tears.

“Rody, this magical boy, will definitely break the curse. He is our hope. As long as he lives, we will have a tomorrow!” The queen comforted softly, “My king, show your courage. You are the king of all, the pillar of support. You must have stronger beliefs than anyone!”

“Yes, I am the king!” King Flick’s eyes suddenly brightened, nodding firmly, “I am the king!”

“Now, you need to stand behind everyone, be their steadfast support. When the day comes that you are no longer king, I will travel the world with you. My king, wherever you wish to go, I will always be by your side! But now, we need to show those children how we support them, let them fight the enemy without worries. The children are still young; they need our care!” The queen smiled gently, “Seeing these little ones, don’t you feel like a father?”

“Not only do I feel like a father, but I also feel like a nanny, worrying about these kids endlessly, even their love and marriage! Haha, this feeling is actually not bad, hahaha!” The king laughed heartily.

“Father, Mother, Brother Rody gave me a huge windmill, look!” A super cute little one peeked in from behind the door, waving her big windmill with her small hand, and asked in a babyish voice, “Isn’t it pretty? Alice doesn’t have to ask this time; Brother Rody remembered to make a windmill for me, and it’s colorful... Oh, I forgot to show it to Uncle Buck, Alice will show him my big windmill right away, hehe!”

The little one happily showed off her windmill, completely overjoyed.

The king and queen were a bit helpless and amused. Oh my, it seems their worries were far from over. When would this little one grow up? And when she did, would they have to worry about her love and marriage?

Being a parent really is a lifetime of worries...

Outside, another voice came, a tender child's voice asking, “Alice, are those your parents? Aren’t they the king and queen? Are you a princess? Why aren’t you wearing a princess crown? Are you afraid of being recognized? Is it bad to be recognized? Are there bad people? Oh, the human world is so scary... Mitty also went to the human world and was locked up, but later Brother saved me. How did he save me? Mitty doesn’t know, but when I woke up, I saw Brother!”

“Uncle Buck, Uncle Buck, are you asleep? Alice is here, Mitty, nobody seems to be in Uncle Buck's room…” The little cutie seemed to look around in the room for a while, then turned back into the hallway.

“We’ll find him where he drinks, he must still be there! Let's show him, see what’s different about these two big windmills!” The two little ones excitedly set off, while the king and queen hid behind the door and watched, realizing they had never seen such a smile on their darling daughter’s face before, feeling somewhat moved.

“Tomorrow, I’ll learn to make windmills! Rare that she likes it!” The king decided, “I can’t

let that Rody boy steal my darling daughter!”

“Are you jealous? What kind of father are you?” The queen chuckled, “I’d rather have Rody take care of the children, hehe, because he’s indeed a qualified brother! Have you ever seen a warrior who remembers to make big windmills for children despite being busy? That’s him. In this regard, I want to praise him. You as a father, still have a lot to learn!”

“Damn it! I’ll make one right away, who can’t make a big windmill?” The king, in a huff, forgot that he indeed didn’t know how to make one.
