You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"Of course I know about this, but... it's because Dad spoils Rosalia and Lilia too much that they've become so reckless."

Bronya put down her teacup and continued, somewhat annoyed, "What if I accidentally scare Mom and Sophia?"

Unlike Janna and Wendy, Sofia and Alexandra are not very strong. Although they are not easily injured, they are easily frightened during their pregnancies.

Being frightened is a small matter, but if it affects the fetus in the womb, then the situation will be much more serious.

"That's true..."

Sher murmured to herself, resting her chin on her hand, and stared blankly at the four ladies strolling and sunbathing on the second floor of the courtyard.

How much longer must she wait before she can be as close to Qiu Bi without any reservations as Wendy, Gana, Sophia, and Alexandra?

Even……

conceived the fruit of love.

Seemingly sensing Seele's thoughts, Black Seele quietly appeared, wrapped her arms around Seele's neck from behind, and gently hugged her.

"Don't worry... Seele, we'll be able to do that soon."

"But...we're only fifteen years old this year, and we're still three years away from adulthood..."

“It’s alright, Seele—with a little effort, Brother Qiu Bi will accept us.”

Hei Xi let out a smug chuckle.

Seele didn't understand what Black Seele meant, but she still chose to believe Black Seele and nodded silently.

"Xi'er, what were you talking about?"

Bronya looked at Seele with a puzzled expression.

When Seele and Black Seele communicate, it is almost a whisper, so Bronya can only vaguely hear Seele speaking, but cannot make out what Seele is saying.

Seele quickly shook her head and explained, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Sister Bronya, shall we go find Sister Cecilia now? Sister Cecilia has already returned from Schicksal Airport. I wonder if she has any news about Brother Qiu Bi."

"Dad and Eden's mom are still traveling. They should be back soon, since Mom and Sophia's mom are close to their due dates."

Before she finished speaking, Bronya got up and walked towards the gate of the Misty Sea Manor.

Seele hesitated for a few seconds, then drank the tea in her cup in one gulp, and quickly caught up with Bronya.

The tea set will be taken care of by the mist maid; Bronya and Seele don't need to bother with it.

After watching the two girls leave, the mist maid, who had remained motionless, walked to the table and began to tidy up the tea set and wipe the tabletop.

……

Fog Sea Manor, main gate.

Cecilia stopped Rosalia and Lilia from their playful fight, and after learning the whole story from Ji Lin, she began to teach the two girls a lesson.

Verbal reprimands had little effect on the Arlene sisters; on the contrary, "homework" was much more effective.

Upon learning that they were about to face new "homework," Rosalia and Lilia's expressions changed drastically. After their pleas went unanswered, they hung their heads and followed Cecilia dejectedly.

"Rosalia, Lilia, quickly apologize to Aunt Ji Lin."

Cecilia gently patted Rosalia and Lilia on the back, pushing the two girls in front of Jilin.

Seeing Ji Lin stroking her warhorse, Rosalia and Lilia mustered their strength and weakly called out, "Aunt Ji Lin, we're sorry, we know we were wrong..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin looked at the two girls with their heads hanging low and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"This is a one-time exception. If you want to ride warhorses, just tell me, and I can take you to gallop freely in the forest. The manor is too dangerous and not suitable for riding horses."

"Huh?! Really?"

Rosalia's expression brightened, and she excitedly pressed Ji Lin for answers.

Seeing Rosalia's excitement, Ji Lin seemed to be infected by her excitement and couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, warhorses can't rest all the time; they need to be allowed to gallop freely..."

As he spoke, Ji Lin's voice gradually faded, until Rosalia and Lilia could only hear a faint murmur.

However, for the two girls, Ji Lin's second half of the sentence was irrelevant; the word "of course" alone was enough to bring a joyful smile to their faces.

Compared to this, the "homework" Cecilia just assigned seems almost unimportant...

Although Rosalia and Lilia now think that "homework" is no longer important, they will feel strong regret when they actually start to do it.

"Well... Aunt Ji Lin, let's go back and finish the 'homework' that Cecilia's mom gave us!"

"Go."

Ji Lin gently stroked Rosalia's head, then turned to let the two girls return to the attic.

Then, she led her warhorse toward the stables of the Misty Sea Manor.

Cecilia smiled as she watched Ji Lin leave, then looked down at Bianca beside her and said, "Bianca, go back and rest—don't forget to share the snacks you brought back with the other children."

"Yeah, I get it, Mom."

Bianca nodded and left with light steps.

The pure white skirt swayed slightly, and her high ponytail bounced up and down, showing Bianca's joyful mood at this moment.

This was simply because she had selected a large quantity of snacks from Destiny Airport.

For the foreseeable future, she will be able to enjoy delicious snacks in addition to reading.

Cecilia chuckled, then looked at Bronya and Seele, who were walking gracefully towards her.

"Bronya, Seele, come here and let me hug you."

Cecilia opened her arms wide, revealing a radiant smile.

Chapter 312 Rita's Request

Bronya threw herself into Cecilia's arms without hesitation, while Seele stood there hesitant.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will also become one of Qiu Bi's "wives" in the future, so it seems a bit inappropriate for her to throw herself into Cecilia's arms...

Before Seele could even finish her hesitation, Cecilia reached out and pulled her into her arms.

“Seele, you’re not an adult yet, so…” Cecilia whispered in Seele’s ear, “Don’t think about those things until you’re an adult, okay?”

"……Um."

Seele was silent for a few seconds, then made a soft nasal sound.

Cecilia smiled sweetly and gently stroked Seele's hair.

"Mommy Cecilia, when is Daddy coming home?"

"Qiu Bi... I'll ask him later. Sophia and Alexandra are nearing their due dates, it's time to call them home."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cecilia changed the subject, saying, "By the way—Kiana and Bianca brought back a lot of snacks this time. Remember to go find Kiana and Bianca to pick out some snacks."

Before Bronya and Seele could reply, Cecilia added, "Kiana is busy right now, you can go directly to Bianca."

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing that there were snacks, Bronya nodded excitedly, just like a normal girl.

Immediately, Bronya grabbed Seele's hand and jogged back to the attic.

Cecilia only looked away after Bronya and Seele had disappeared from sight.

"Sylfaria, have all the Honkai Beasts near the island been dealt with?"

This outbreak of chaos was global, and even Fogsea Manor was not spared.

However, the moment the Honkai Beasts appeared on the island, Lady Sylpharia activated the power of the Herrscher of the Void, throwing the Honkai Beasts off the island to prevent them from attacking the children and ladies.

"Yes. Janna's main body is located around the island. After I threw the Honkai Beasts off the island, Janna's main body quickly killed all of them."

"Yes, that's good."

Cecilia stretched lazily and asked, "Silfaria, Sakura, would you like to have tea together later?"

"Tea?"

Yae Sakura was taken aback. Although she couldn't understand why Cecilia had suddenly invited her to have tea, she still accepted Cecilia's invitation.

Lady Hilfalia opened her paper folding fan, silently tearing a purple hole in it, and asked in return, "Cecilia, what kind of tea would you like?"

"Simple black tea will do; there's no need to use any expensive teas."

"I understand."

Lady Hilfalia nodded slightly, then took the initiative to walk into the purple void, going straight to the second floor of the attic.

Cecilia smiled slightly, took Yae Sakura's arm, and led her into the purple void.

However, Cecilia's actions made Yae Sakura uncomfortable, and she became very reserved in her expression and movements.

……

Manchester.

Although the Honkai incident has been resolved, its aftereffects cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Qiu Bi originally planned to stay here for a while until the aftermath subsided before leaving, but he received a message from Cecilia.

"Qiu Bi, when are you planning to come back?"

"Are Sofia and Alexandra nearing their due dates?"

Instead of answering Cecilia's question directly, Qiu Bi asked a question in return.

Cecilia picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then asked again with a half-smile, "Qiu Bi, you should know roughly when Sophia and Alexandra's due dates are, right?"

"Judging by the time, it should be in the next few days, right?"

"Yes, that's why I asked you when you're going back to Fogsea Manor. We need to take Sophia and Alexandra to the hospital."

Although Fogsea Manor has a medical room, it is not suitable for delivering babies.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, it's best to go to a specialized hospital to await delivery.

"Cecilia, which hospital are you planning to take Sophia and Alexandra to?"

"Of course, it's the hospital in Academy City, Changkong City. It just so happens to be the headquarters of magical girls, where all the women are magical girls."
