Chapter 340 Zunda
340 Zunda
In Zamira's opulent chamber, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. Jill delicately applies makeup to Zamira's blushing face, while Zagrath, her eyes glistening with tears of joy, adds the finishing touches to the intricate details of Zamira's red bridal gown. The small tiara atop Zamira's head radiates a regal aura, enhancing her beauty.
"I'm very shy to go out there..." Zamira confesses, her face turning a deeper shade of red. Laughter erupts from Jill and Zagrath, echoing through the room.
"That's normal, I guess. But don't worry, everything will be alright," Jill assures Zamira. Zagrath chimes in, "Master, her highness is right. I am sure Prince Jake will make you feel good."
"Doing that... In front of people, it's just too embarrassing. I never thought a day like this would come," Zamira mutters, her embarrassment palpable.
"Well, no one expected it. Besides, it's not like people will see how you're getting railed, fufu. They'll only hear your moans, how loud it is. If it's very loud, then your husband must be doing a good job," Jill explains, injecting a playful tone. Zamira nods in understanding, accepting the unconventional nature of her upcoming wedding ceremony.
"Master, I have a question that's bugging me though," Zagrath interjects with a serious expression.
"What's that?" Jill and Zamira inquire simultaneously.
"Well... I have been thinking. Master, are you going to have children?" Zagrath drops a bombshell, causing Jill to pause in her tasks, eager to hear Zamira's response.
"I think you've asked me about this before. But I only gave a vague answer. Well, I have decided after thinking it thoroughly. I want to have kids, maybe two. The reason is that when Jake is away from the vampire planet, I might get bored too quickly. So, having kids is the best way to go because I'll be glad that I at least leave my offspring behind if anything happens," Zamira answers, her words hanging in the air, bringing an unexpected weight to the room.
Silence reigns as Jill and Zagrath digest Zamira's decision.
"It's surprising how much you've changed. I remember the time when you hated the idea of having kids, and even bullied me about the idea of having a kid through artificial means, thinking you were afraid of going through childbirth," Jill reveals.
"Ahh... I remember, fufu. Though I want to go through childbirth because of unforeseen problems with artificial means of birthing children. Just like how Misty has two personalities and Jake unable to use abilities," Zamira explains, providing examples. However, Jill seems unsettled by Zamira's reference, sensing a subtle jab.
"So, master is going to do snu~snu~ without protection?" Zagrath questions again, her confusion evident.
"Yes..."
"T-This is strange..." Zagrath mutters, returning to her duties with a puzzled expression.
Suddenly, the door to Zamira's room bursts open, and a figure in a black cloak strides in.
"Long time no see, girls."
"Mom!" Zamira and Jill exclaim simultaneously, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, stunned by the unexpected entrance.
____________________________________________________________
The woman standing in front of Jill and Zamira is a white-haired beauty, bearing a striking resemblance to both. Her eyes glow bright red, a mirror to the radiant smile on her face. Jill and Zamira rush towards her, embracing her tightly. This woman is none other than Zunda, their mother.
"I have missed you, my girls!" Zunda says with heartfelt emotion as she holds them close, savoring the warmth of their love.
After five minutes of heartfelt hugs, they finally separate from each other.
"We didn't expect that you'll show up. We thought it's just a fluke like you've been saying all these years," Jill remarks, looking into her mother's eyes. Zunda sighs at Jill's words.
"Jill, you don't have to reprimand me like that. After all, both of you caused it," Zunda says, displaying a hint of sadness before her expression returns to normal.
"How did we cause it though?" Jill and Zamira ask simultaneously.
"At least before you question me, you should offer your mom a seat," Zunda says with a smirk, prompting Jill and Zamira to facepalm. Zamira signals to Zagrath, instructing her to bring a chair for Zunda, which she promptly does.
Now seated in a circle, a tense atmosphere settles as the trio contemplates who will speak first.
"I'll go first..." Jill breaks the silence.
"As expected of her," Zunda mutters with a smile.
"Mom, why did you abandon us for such a long time and disappear without a trace?" Jill questions.
"The reason why I said both of you caused it is simple. Both of you couldn't protect your younger brother and left him to die pathetically in the hands of humans! They said he was eaten by a monster; bullsh*t! Yet, your dad was unable to do anything. It pained me a lot... It's something I will never forget," Zunda explains, tears forming in her eyes. Witnessing Zunda's emotional turmoil, Jill and Zamira offer their comfort.
"We understand how you feel, mom. We also tried as much as possible to get justice for our brother, but dad was avoiding a war because he feared the dhampirs, balors, and dragons would support the humans, which is overkill. We believe we are going to get revenge soon... We can't punish the innocents because of our loss," Zamira explains.
"Innocents, huh... Well, I've gotten over it and decided to protect my two remaining daughters," Zunda reveals.
"By the way, you look gorgeous. I can't believe my stone-hearted princess is finally going to get married, fufu. What a miracle...." Zunda teases with a giggle, causing Zamira's face to burn red in embarrassment.
"Mom~"
Suddenly, heavy knocks resound on the door.
"Your highness, the ceremony is about to begin. The witch is here," a voice announces at the doorstep. Hearing the voice, Zamira's heart skips a beat.
"Daughter, it's time..." Zunda declares, her eyes filled with a mix of pride and anticipation.
"Wait!"
"Mom," Zamira begins with a determined gleam in her eyes, "I want to share something with you. I've decided to have kids, maybe two. When Jake is away from the vampire planet, I might get bored too quickly. Having children is the best way to go because I'll be glad that I at least leave my offspring behind if anything happens."
Zunda's eyes widen with surprise and then soften with understanding. "You've grown into such a responsible woman," she says, pride evident in her voice.
"That's not all," Zamira continues. "I also plan to open a school in the future. A place where everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, can learn and grow together."
Zunda's eyes sparkle even with more admiration. "That's a noble endeavor, daughter. I never thought the day would come when my stone-hearted princess would turn into a visionary leader. I support your decisions wholeheartedly."
With Zunda's encouragement, Zamira feels a renewed sense of purpose. The heavy knocks on the door intensify, signaling the urgency of the moment.
"Go, Zamira. Embrace your future. I'll be here cheering you on," Zunda says, unlocking the door and gesturing for Zamira to step out.
