Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Side Chapter: You guys did it, didn't you? (II).

"Your daughter is so cute! Did you two make this together with some weird magic from this world? I heard in [Sprivanto] you can." (Avery) reaches out and pinches Vivienne's cute chubby little cheeks.

"Ungugugu...!"

The little one was not enjoying the pinching that the hero was doing so she swats her hand away in a huff.

...

"Ahaha... I take it she's not fond of people who would pinch her cheeks." (Avery) laughs nervously, feeling embarrassed that she made the little lady angry.

"?" (Rose) who has been pinching her cheeks when she has the chance didn't have any of Vivienne's angry little reaction.

The princess tries to do the same, her fingers grabbing the side of it and gently pulling it. "I often pinch her cheeks though... and she doesn't usually do that."

"Hehehe! Mommy wah!" (Vivienne) instead of swatting the princess' fingers in a huff she actually holds her hand closer to her face as if telling her to continue pinching her some more.

The stretchy skin was soft.

Avery was silent seeing how biased everything that Kein owns, first it was the Pegasus being all sassy and now it was a little child!

"I really can't catch a break." (Avery) stares at the two and sighs.

Kein laughs patting her back and decides to answer the question on where they found Vivienne. "For your question though, we didn't err... make Vivienne. We found her in one of the barren villages we visited before, all ragged and full of dirt."

The village that was visited at the time when they were going back home to the kingdom.

Almost everyone that was left in there was not treating the knights too kindly because all of the locals viewed them like some lapdog for the royal family that wasn't giving any aid.

"We thought she was orphaned... Asking around if anyone has seen her parents, no one was claiming her or even knew her." The princess pat's Vivienne's soft blonde hair, bouncing up top and then smiling.

"The gentle bundle of joy... I'm so glad we brought her home." (Rose) lovingly says and Avery was happy to see her other otherworldly friend already starting a family.

"In any case I'm surprised you managed to snag an exact copy and paste version- actually no... just close. If she had blue eyes I would've called her an exact copy and paste then." (Avery) points at Vivienne's silver eyes. A clear trait that she'll be having some magic from the light.

"Damn how lucky can you get to find a kid that's exactly the mix of you two?" The hero asks, crossing her arms and thinking of the ritual that was used in the other kingdom. "Well I would've thought it be possible if you just made the kid on your own, but since the both of you told me that you didn't do any of that-"

"Two girls... can't make babies can they?" (Rose) asks a little flustered but it was a given. "Is it true that there's such a thing?"

Avery places a hand on her chin and wonders how come she doesn't know such a thing exists?

"Well as I've said before your highness-" Then she remembers the church's existence and how they would handle the matter.

"Ah right... you guys are protected by the church or would even consider my next words as something many would believe to be true." (Avery) understands, and then decides to explain it to the princess properly.

"In [Sprivanto], there's a ritual for anyone who's in a homosexual relationship wanting to bear a child that would give on both features of the parent."

It has been said by stories that the goddess that they serve, blessed all love that may come true.

If one's love is true- the goddess may bless them with the child they would want upon the ritual under the moon night sky. Under their own kind of community it's possible, such a thing wouldn't be found weird or peculiar under their eyes but they find it normal.

"The blessing of homo-peur, the name of the ritual..."

These have been put in many books depicting the stories of homosexuality relationships, the romance entailing their love and when a time they would want to bear a child.

They would decide to pray for help.

Rose and Kein have read many of the tales of this in their books.

Kein knew it might be that same ritual- but Rose however, deemed innocent and just thought of it as some plot to give the two a happy ending inside the story.

It has been grinded unto their brains that a possibility of that kind of love is impossible and even if it was, it would be against their beliefs.

"Truly?! I thought those were just plots in the books I've read when they make with a child- that means-"

"Yes... They can have their own you know for women and for men- well... yeah!" (Avery) feels Baron Hill's scary aura behind Rose feeling like she shouldn't be too careless with her next words.

Rose remembers Kein's story about Valentina and Gisela possibly using this ritual to make their own little pumpkins- oh my! No wonder they didn't tell the full story!

"U-Uh... Your little pumpkin is here so I can't go full descriptive on the details." The hero continued and Baron Hill's expression changed into his calm demeanor but that sure did a number on her heart.

Definitely one of her types is the older type- but Kein isn't willing to let her get close to her father. "Truly it's not the best thing to talk about when we're in Vivienne's presence." (Rose) pats Vivienne's innocent little confused face.

"Well I think my time is up anyways, so why don't I go ahead and get going first?" (Avery) decided on leaving first, she might need to buy more resources needed in order to venture off to the demon lands. She would go on to wave goodbye to the two couples, and Kein remembered that she also still had to get the princess back home.

"I'll be coming back in about three days then we can leave. If you plan on bringing other people, best to be discreet."

Avery tells the blonde girl who nods in answer. She gives a little wink before leaving to take back her pet familiar that was sleeping near the front of the estate.

Baron Hills who was behind them was watching the hero's figure leaving in a quick rush and heard what she said. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, there was still a lot of work left undone and she was going to another mission.

"Are the both of you going somewhere?" He asks, seeing that there weren't any plans of his daughter that would require the assistance of a hero.

"Father... it's the confidential mission I've talked to you about. You need not to worry. I'm going to be accompanied by many of the best people send by her highness, the first princess." (Kein) reassures her father and understanding the duty of the Knights, their mission would usually be first before anything but-

After seeing the hero's involvement, he wasn't sure if this was just a simple mission. Kein is just a fresh graduate from the military academy- and only two years in training.

These trainees who decide to graduate for two years will only serve as reserves for war, the knights would go on to protect civilians from monster attacks nearing the border of the castle or some villages.

Some would settle into offices... is what Kein intended.

The knights who graduated for five or ten years of training  would go on expeditions that would have been considered a high ranking level mission are those who were either ranked a General and higher.

"I... I'm not sure anymore. Seeing the hero getting into your mission, it's bound to be a dangerous one and..." (Baron Hill) stopped with his words looking at his little granddaughter who was not understanding everything, but with everyone's expression it made her worry.

"Father it's alright, I could see that you're worried but I have already taken upon the mission. I have accepted it, in my knightly honor." (Kein) has already said in her word, she needs to save Princess Cecilia in order to have Rose by her side and for the kingdom to not fall in the ruins of war.

"So if you won't mind I have to prepare, I'll help with Alfred on my things that I have to pack after I have Rose back home because we'll be set for the demon lands."

Rose had to give Vivienne back to Baron Hill's arms with a quick kiss on the cheek. Seeing that the girl then gives her away, she looks in confusion as to why her other mother would do such a thing.

"Mommy?! Ungh..." (Vivienne) squeals on crying so loudly being separated from Rose. It has been so long since they've seen each other, the little blonde girl has already grown too attached to the princess, seeing her as the other parent.

The crying was so loud that it felt like everyone in the estate had heard such a terrifying scream from a dying bird.

Avery, who was not too far from leaving the estate, has heard the crying too.

"Ah! Shh! Shh! It's okay!" (Rose) hears the crying and immediately calms her down by reassuring her that she'll come back soon to visit. "Mommy will come back to visit again! With treats and all! So don't cry... my dear."

Vivienne was confused, she doesn't understand why her Mommy has to leave them again. "Mommy... noe leave me..."

"Oh how I wish I could...!" (Rose) turns her back covering her mouth, feeling so heartbroken to leave the little one she swore she would care for like her own daughter.

Kein has to pat her back, because Rose's eyes were turning a little teary eyed so she decided to get her home before things get even harder to leave. "I'll be making sure her highness will get home safely with Vanilla. Father, please make sure that Vivienne will be alright."

Baron Hills who was holding Vivienne couldn't help but feel a bit sad on their reunion only to be cut so short. Everyone will be back on their duties and mission soon enough. "Alright, come back safely, daughter of mine. I'll make sure that Vivienne would at least know that her highness would come back once more in our home."

"She is also family, and always welcome to come back into the Hills estate." (Baron Hills) tells Rose who was still sniffing from her crying and gives a grateful bow of curtsy her heart feeling happy that another home welcomes her back.

"Thank you, sir." a princess that should never bow to someone beneath them, a rule set by the royal family.

Rose wouldn't fit into them to how much she felt so grateful to so many people. This wasn't the first time, and nor will it be the last.
