Chapter 1121: Harmonious Family

Finishing the day, Leone returned home along with her sisters, only to find her Mother leaning against the door of her room with her arms crossed, a scene that repeated itself for all the other Daughters as well. Most of the Mothers made a point to take some time off to meet with their Daughters regularly, despite their frankly suffocating schedules.

The only exceptions were Violet, Velnorah, Eleonor, and Rose, who couldn't afford to halt their work now, so their Daughters were left in Anna's care.

"Geh, Mother..."

"What do you mean by 'Geh'? Little Brat. Aren't you happy to see me?" Leona raised her eyebrow.

"N-No, I'm happy to see you, Mother." Leone stammered but spoke honestly. She could never be annoyed or angry at seeing her Mother. After all, she admired her Mother and loved her, but the problem was... The conversation she had with her sister.

'She didn't report me, right?... If she does, I'll spread her dirt!' Leone promised herself that if she fell, she wouldn't fall alone!

"Oh? Really?" Leona smiled. "You don't look it. You haven't even hugged me yet."

Leone blushed slightly. "...I'm dirty."

"Dragon Goddesses can only get dirty if they want to." Leona couldn't believe what her Daughter had said.

Thinking a little about why her Daughter would act like that, she understood what it was: "...Oh, it's that, isn't it? You're reaching the stage where you don't want to show affection to your Family out of shame. But how did you even reach that stage? As far as I know, you don't have any friends outside of your sisters."

This fact didn't worry Leona since they had many Daughters. They could even play a soccer game with two entire teams and still have players left. That was how many children Victor had, and in the future, there would be even more members with two twins already in the oven, so she wasn't sad that her Daughter didn't have any friends due to her status as a Dragon Goddess and Daughter of The Emperor. Any possible friends she made would only be those who were interested in what she had.

Her Daughter wouldn't even be able to act normally around them either, considering that she was an Imperial Princess and needed to act like one.

"T-That's not it!" Leone quickly spoke.

"Then what is it?" Leona raised her eyebrow and looked at the copy of herself with her and Victor's characteristics, her little treasure.

"Hmm... Well... You know... this is..." She tried to speak, but words wouldn't come out of her mouth. Even if she tried to lie, she knew her Mother would notice. Her Mother knew her very well.

Seeing her Daughter's discomfort, Leona spoke. "It's okay. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." She wouldn't invade her Daughter's personal life unless necessary.

Read her Daughter's mind? She wouldn't do that unless necessary, either. After all, everyone needed privacy to do their own things in peace.

"Anyway, I didn't come here for that," Leona said calmly, pushing herself off the wall before walking towards her Daughter.

Leone sighed in relief when she saw her Mother changing the subject.

"Why did you come here, Mother?" She asked.

"I want to know your thoughts regarding what you learned today," Leona spoke seriously.

"...Oh."

"So? Tell me what you learned, Leone Elena Luna Elderblood."

"...Why do I have 3 names in my name?" Instead of answering her Mother's question, she let her curiosity take over and asked. She was always interested in this but hadn't had the opportunity to ask before.

"The same case as some of your sisters, their Mother suggested a name, but your Father thought it was unfitting, so to avoid any arguments, we simply used both proposed names," Leona explained nonchalantly.

Because of this, some Daughters had multiple names, while others only had one name.

"Oh… So that's what happened." Leone said.

"Yes. In your specific case, I wanted to name you Leone, but your Father looked at me strangely. After all, your name is basically my name with just a one letter difference." ȐᴀƝꝊ𝐁Ěṥ

'I have to agree with my Father.' Leone thought internally but didn't dare say it in front of her Mother.

"He, therefore, proposed the name Luna because of our heritage as Werewolves, and Werewolves have a deep connection with the moon.' Leona continued the explanation.

'I actually like the name Luna better. I love how it sounds when my Father says it.' Leone thought.

"But your nosy Grandfather wanted to give you a name too, and he wanted to name you Elena… In honor of someone important." Leona spoke while having a nostalgic look on her face.

'Someone important…? Who? Is it my grandmother?' Leone thought.

"I see… That's why my name became so long, huh."

"Do you hate your name?" Leona asked with a bit of apprehension in her voice.

"No... Actually, I love each of them. After all, you thought of them so fondly." Leone smiled gently.

Leona felt an invisible arrow hit her chest: "Kyaaa! My Daughter is so cute!" She couldn't take it anymore and hugged her Daughter.

"Gahh, Mother, don't hold me so tight!" Leone grumbled, but she still had a happy smile on her face. Before she realized anything, the landscape changed, and she was in the forest surrounding their house.

In the distance, Leone could see their house, which was a gigantic mansion that mixed a medieval and gothic architecture... In fact, it looked more like a castle with several different areas and enormous sizes.

She didn't really know how to explain what she was seeing, but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their house was the size of a medium-sized city that could accommodate 1,500,000 inhabitants.

Their entire house was designed to support their Dragon Forms if they so wished. Unlike Charlotte, who was born knowing things thanks to Victor, normal Dragon Goddesses usually lost control of their Human Form and ended up returning to their Dragon Form by accident on occasion. Therefore, space was necessary. Not to mention that most of her parents' personal residences had increased in size so that they could get used to their new heights.

Looking at the lake with crystal clear water, she leaned against her Mother and looked serenely at the beautiful landscape.

Her house... her entire planet was very beautiful. "I'm really blessed, huh." She thought, but without meaning to, she ended up speaking it aloud.

Leona smiled broadly when she heard her Daughter's words. Leona and Victor's biggest concern was that their children would grow up spoiled and not value what they had. After all, unlike them, their parents were not born with 'so many' privileges.

Yes, Leona and Victor came from good and harmonious families, but the level of authority and Power they wielded was completely different from the past.

While Leona was the daughter of a retired ex-General of the Wolves and a natural Alpha, Victor was the son of a Human lawyer and a bricklayer who was almost retired.

They were not the children of Emperors and Empresses, nor did they have flashy Titles like Gods or Princesses. The situation of the past and the present was as far apart as Heaven and Earth.

'Education always comes from home... We were right.' Leona thought happily. Those simple words of humility from Leone made her happiness as a Mother explode.

Because they cared about their children's education, they were taught at home from a young age so that they would not be influenced by outsiders. They taught everything from basic education to the most advanced level possible and even how 'dirty' society and Beings could be.

All of this was done in a controlled environment where the parents could intervene at any time.

Few had the ability and resources to provide such an education for their children, and Victor and his Wives were one of those few.

They wanted their children to have the same values of humility, honor, and familial love that they had, and despite the peculiarities of some of their Daughters, they all learned this lesson from a young age.

The motto of the old Alucard Clan, 'Family always comes first', was fully embodied in her children, and she was very happy.

"...Mother?" Leone called out to her Mother in confusion.

'Why is she looking at me so proudly? Did I do something good unintentionally? What did I do?' Question marks could be seen around Leone from how confused she was right now.

Coughing lightly, Leona recovered from her state. She was so happy that she almost forgot the purpose of coming here in the first place.

"Tell me your thoughts regarding what you learned today, my Daughter."

"Mm…" Leone nodded and thought about her next words for a few seconds. She tried to form a diplomatic speech but decided that it was counterproductive, and instead, she was honest.

"It was overwhelming, the scale of The Empire's operations are ridiculously huge. Being responsible for so many Beings is an unbearable burden. I wonder how my Father does it…?" She sighed.

Leona smiled. "Just the thought of caring about lesser Beings already makes you better than 99% of the Gods and Goddesses out there, my Daughter."

"Believe it or not, most Gods or Emperors don't care at all about those 'lowly' lives. These arrogant Beings are what your Father deeply despises."

"...Did Daddy have bad experiences with them?"

"Yes..." She thought of Loki and his arrogance. "And you could say that he looks at these Beings like adult children who received Powers and did whatever they wanted because there were no real consequences because they were too powerful."

"Your Father put a stop to that, and he became the consequence... Break the rules, and The Emperor will hunt you down."

It's no wonder that since Victor took over as Emperor of Humanity and all other Races that the most 'arrogant' Gods stopped abusing the weak. Nowadays, there were real consequences and they couldn't act like degenerates anymore. Even if they did it in secret, The Empire would know. They would always know.

Leona knew that Victor was just waiting for these Beings to lose their patience and commit the same crimes as before so he could eliminate them and use their Powers for something more useful.

'The Shinto Gods have held on for a long time, but soon, they will lose their patience and give Amaterasu an excuse to act. It will be fun~.'

Seeing the sadistic look on her Mother's face, Leone knew that whoever the unlucky ones she was thinking of were, they would not have a good day.

"Leaving aside these useless people, tell me more about your experience." Leona continued, her expression returning to its previously gentle smile.
