Chapter 503 : Two Mothers

Nightfall.

Tonight in Varil Village was a fiery red night.

A giant bonfire could be seen clearly from several kilometers away. The villagers of Varil and the refugees who had fled there sat around it, singing praises to Zervanie.

The wounds that Noelle had failed to heal with hundreds of sigils over three days were healed by Zervanie in five seconds.

There was a fundamental difference between divine arts and sigils. Therefore, the status of clergy who could use divine arts was very high.

Felyn, Zervanie, and Viloti did not sit in the center of the crowd. Instead, the three of them sat in a corner, leaving the stage to the villagers.

Of course, sitting in the corner was also due to Felyn taking care of Viloti's social anxiety.

"Mr. Felyn..."

Noelle came to Felyn's side with a bottle of wine, shaking the wine in her hand at him.

The sister was wearing her nun's habit, her light green short hair brushing against her shoulders. The shadow of the flames danced on her small face, outlining her gentle features.

"Sister Noelle, would you like a drink?" Felyn scooted over. There was room for one more person on the tree stump.

"If Mr. Felyn is willing." Noelle walked to the empty spot and subconsciously glanced at the two beautiful girls beside Felyn. "May I sit here?"

"Mhm, of course."

The firelight reflected on Zervanie's and Viloti's faces. The two young ladies were having a great time playing with Helia at the moment.

Noelle sat down next to Felyn. While Felyn wasn't looking, she hooked her hair with her finger and straightened her collar.

Her legs swung back and forth nervously, her hands tightly clutching the wine bottle.

She hadn't even spoken yet, but the young girl's face was already starting to turn red.

"Mr. Felyn, this is the only bottle of wine in our village. I hope you don't mind."

She opened the wooden cork and poured it into the wine glass she had prepared.

Noelle was afraid Felyn wouldn't be used to it, so she only poured a little for him at first.

"This is better than what I drink most of the time." Felyn swirled the glass and held it up to examine it. "I'm not some great noble. Although I'm in Seiva, I'm actually just a down-and-out noble, which is to say, an ordinary commoner."

"Eh? Mr. Felyn is a commoner? I couldn't tell at all. You really look like the young master of a noble family." There was a hint of surprise in Noelle's voice.

"Learned it later in life." Felyn took a sip. He wasn't very fond of wine, but he didn't show it in front of Noelle.

The two chatted about the past, and the wine glasses were constantly refilled.

Noelle was a little drunk. She took off her nun's cap and unbuttoned the collar of her habit, revealing her flushed chest. She kept fanning her chest with her hand.

"Is Lady Zervanie that popular songstress of the empire?" Noelle said, looking at Zervanie's back. "When I saw her today, I thought, how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world. It wasn't until a while later that I remembered I had seen her poster in a noble's house."

"Mhm, you can't tell at all, right? Zervanie is actually very easy to get along with. Although she usually feels like an idiot, she's actually very reliable."

Zervanie's ears twitched, and she quietly scooted closer to Felyn.

"After spending a long time with her, I always feel like she's not an imperial songstress, but more like the little sister next door. The way she is on stage is actually her true self."

Noelle looked at the way Felyn looked at Zervanie and the smile on his face, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"And the way she cast her divine art today, how should I put it..." Felyn continued, not noticing the reaction of the sister beside him, "I feel it was pretty cool."

These words made Zervanie, not far away, tremble violently. She tightly clamped her hands between her legs, her whole body curling up in shyness.

She blushed, biting her lip, trying to suppress the joy welling up from the bottom of her heart. Her gaze uncontrollably darted towards Felyn, and she couldn't help but giggle foolishly to herself.

"Yes, if it weren't for Lady Zervanie, I really wouldn't know what to do." Noelle swung her legs and said softly, "If in the future... I could become someone like Lady Zervanie, that would be great."

The crowd's singing grew louder, and the banquet reached its climax.

The gloom had been washed away by tonight's songs. Sadness could be left for tomorrow.

"Lord Felyn..."

Helia, who had run over, gently tugged on Felyn's pant leg. The eight-year-old girl was a little shy and didn't dare to look at Felyn.

After spending a night together, Felyn was already very familiar with her.

"Helia, what's wrong?"

"Lord Felyn, the two big sisters asked me to come and ask you, who... who do you like more?"

"Eh?"

Felyn squatted down beside Helia, ruffled her hair with his hand, then looked over her shoulder at the two young ladies who were pretending not to know anything but had their ears pricked up.

Zervanie was propping up her cheeks with her hands, her head swaying slightly, while Viloti was sitting upright, still with no expression on her face.

"Then who do you think I like more, Helia?"

"I-I don't know..." She tentatively wrapped her arms around Felyn's neck. After confirming that Felyn wasn't angry, she threw herself into his arms. "Maybe Lord Felyn likes Helia a little more."

"Hey! Helia!" Zervanie stopped pretending now. She came to Helia's side with a clenched fist. "You're not going to say something like, 'Lord Felyn, when I grow up, will you marry me?' are you?"

"Zervanie, weren't you just pretending not to hear?" Felyn shook his head helplessly.

"But Felyn, what Helia is saying now is very dangerous. I can't pretend I didn't hear anything."

"Felyn..." Viloti, beside him, seemed to appear at his side in an instant. "You can't marry a child. It's against the law."

"You're already thinking about me marrying Helia? Has anyone asked for my opinion?"

"Hmph, Felyn, you really like lolis, don't you?" Zervanie stuck her tongue out at Felyn. "Like a certain young-looking girl with pinkish-purple hair, and Miss Viloti's cute face. Someone likes them very much."

"Well, at least the ones I like are adult lolis, okay?"

Helia shyly hid in Felyn's arms. She finally spoke, "I just want Lady Zervanie to be my mom, and Lord Felyn to be my dad."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zervanie subconsciously looked at Felyn, her hands tightly gripping her skirt.

"Then what about this big sister Viloti?" Felyn unexpectedly didn't refute Helia's words.

"Lady Viloti is also a mom. That way, Helia will have two moms, and so many people will love me."

"Is that so..." Felyn held Helia in his arms and patted her back.

The two beautiful girls quickly blinked and looked away.

But the blush on their cheeks had already exposed their inner thoughts.

Noelle watched the four of them, who really looked like a family, and couldn't help but turn her head and smile.

The party continued late into the night.

Everyone thanked Zervanie and the others sitting in the corner before gradually dispersing.

If it weren't for Zervanie, they would have died in pain.

Noelle led Felyn and the others into the church and pushed open a door. The village had cleared out the cleanest room in the church for them.

"My lords. You'll have to make do with staying here tonight."

Although the room was simple, it was very clean and tidy.

"No, no, no, it's no trouble, no trouble."

Zervanie's gaze had already turned to the only large bed in the room.

There was only one bed in the entire room. Doesn't that mean…
