Chapter 213 Got Em!
"AHHH!!" Sofia screamed as we flew through the air.
I spun with the girls in my arms over a walking bridge, and metallic dragon wings burst from my back. They spread open and caught the winds as we arc over the other side. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗novel.𝐜o𝒎
Sofia was holding on to me for dear life, but I had both girls' vines in. Calishora lightly rested her hands on my shoulder the entire time, looking forward with what seemed to be a fond smile.
The pink dragon girl had been calm and collected, but I was sure that she was used to doing much crazier things. That, or she was just so used to it that she knew that I wouldn't drop her and just enjoyed the trip. That was still troubling, but Sofia had told me that I didn't need to worry about it.
"Are we done yet, Papi?!" Sofia demanded as we slowly descended.
There were a bunch of people on the ground, but they were all ones that I knew. The girls were all there, but so were the Annokale Generals and most of the girls' parents. It was really nice to see everyone in one spot, but it was really strange to see the people that raised these girls all looking the same age.
This must be how elder Elves felt when they looked at all their people. Soon age wouldn't mean anything, and only your level of knowledge would have a bearing. With the advancements we were making, everyone would be able to have equal chances to become as smart as they want.
"Yes, we are here," I said as I touched down, setting both girls down and retracting my roots.
"Welcome to the party, you young whippersnapper!" Henry Pactor, Melody's grandfather, laughed as everyone started to gather, but Sofia hopped back.
"Te voy a matar!!" Sofia screamed, and her slipper flew into her hand.
I dodged the first two, thinking that was it, and turned back to Henry.
*Thunk!*
"Doh!" I exclaimed as I was dinged in the head and then off my feet as a rocket-powered solid gold slipper hit the side of my head.
I thumped on the ground, and the grass didn't even catch me. Rolling over, I groaned and opened my eyes as I popped the slipper print out of the side of my head. Sofia was standing over me with her hands on her hips, glaring at me.
"What did I tell you about driving like an idiot when I am in the car? Try that again, and I will send the fleet of slippers to kick your ass around the forest, lo entiendes?" Sofia growled, and I smiled.
"Sure, babe, but you have to admit, that was a little bit fun, right?" I asked with a grin, but it melted when Sofia raised a hand, and the golden slipper flew into it.
I grew a white flag from the tip of my finger and waved it, making Henry fall over laughing.
"That is what I thought! Come with me, Cali. I will introduce the other girls to you. Who knows what obscene things he might try next! Puta!" Sofia snapped and stalked off with Calishora, who was looking back at me.
"Well, you just never learn, do you?" Victoria asked with crossed arms, but she didn't look quite so dinosaur-ish.
"Never learning and not wanting to learn are two completely different things... What happened?!" I asked as I hopped up.
"Oh? You mean, why don't I look like a fucking dinosaur with a turtle shell? Because the system lets me control when I look like that, thankfully," Victoria said.
She was wearing a green dress that was covered in small gems. She was even wearing a crown that was strange, but it looked really good on her, but I missed the Bowsette look. The princess was the one she wanted, so I guess I would just have to wait till I got her alone again.
"Well, as long as you are happy, I am happy. How are things going here in your gardens? Sofia was going wild when I was coming in, so I didn't really have a good chance to look at things. I can feel that you have started with the fire flowers, but that is about it," I explained as I dusted myself off. I didn't have to, but I like to do some things that made me feel human.
"About that. I think they might need work. You can talk to my father about it. Let's just say that the first trial resulted in a trip to the regeneration pool. I think you might need to do some editing," Vitoria said, patting me on the shoulder as Henry shook himself.
"Wow! You sure deal with a lot of things every day, don't you?!" Henry laughed, and I nodded with a grin.
"What have you been doing?" I asked, and Henry shrugged with a grin.
"The wife mostly, but I go for a walk every now and then. She tells me that we have plenty of time, but a fuck is a fuck, and if you pass even one up, you are sure to never catch up!" Henry laughed, and both Victoria and I rolled our eyes.
"Glad to see that you haven't changed!" I laughed, and Henry nodded.
"I will always be the same. The girl seems quite happy with you as well. I always wondered about her, but you two really belong together," Henry chuckled, but Melody was walking up behind him.
"Worried about me? And why is that? Dear grandfather? Or do you have somewhere important to be? I am sure that grandmother would like to know about you telling everyone about your private time?" Melody asked, making Henry become very scarce, very fast.
"Hey, you! It feels like it has been ages since I have held my little Queen!" I said as I rushed over and scooped Melody up in her cute yellow dress. "You look amazing!"
"I know; everyone helped me to make sure I looked good; we all got prettied up for you," Melody said, putting her hands on my cheeks, pulling me into a kiss that was savored.
