Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 252: A Sudden Change Part One

To Tang Yu's surprise, a small figure came flying past her crashing into Mei's cheek. The little figure had a set of wings on her back flapping away as she rubbed her face back and forth on Mei's cheek. But the word she kept repeating is what caused Tang Yu to be the most confused. "Mother?" 

"Un! This little cutie here is Frey and my adopted daughter. Which makes me her mother. " Mei answered. 

"Mother Frey missed you so much!" A bright smile formed on Frey's face as she floated down to her rightful spot on Mei's shoulder and snuggled into her neck seemingly very content. 

"Frey meet your aunt Yu. She is my cousin from my father's side of the family." Mei said with a smile patting the top of Frey's head. 

Frey looked at Tang Yu with her small round eyes and bowed her head saying: "My name is Frey, it's nice to meet you, Aunt Yu..." 

Tang Yu who was still trying to process everything cupped her hands and gave a bow as she introduced herself. "Tang Yu..." 

Mei chuckled as she looked up and saw another familiar figure walking towards her. This was none other than Loeri. Seeing Loeri walk up with her eyes slightly red caused Mei's eyes to become soft as she pulled the little dragon into a hug. "It must have been hard..."

"Nothing is hard for this great dragon!" Loeri said sobbingly. Loeri really felt that she would not see Mei for a long long time. Luckily this was not the case. She snuggled her head into Mei's chest as she hugged Mei back. Disregarding her normal prideful self. 

Off in the distance stood a small figure who was not sure if he should come forward or not. Mei glanced over at him but only for a second. "How's the boy?"

"He's doing fine. He seems to have lost his memory though and has no idea who he is anymore. He doesn't even remember that his entire family was taken by the demonic beasts. He's not stupid or anything. He still knows how to read and write but other than that he doesn't know anything else. He doesn't even know his own name anymore so I call him boy." Loeri explained.

Mei held her head thinking that the poor child was called boy for so long. But Mei was not surprised that Loeri didn't give him a name since humans were not really anything special to her. "Alright let's just call him Nomi for now. Which means 'only', from the world I first came from. " 

Mei chose this name because it fit the child well. She would have picked a word meaning lost or forgotten but each of those words did not really make for a good name. So she went with Nomi instead.

The group walked towards the cottage where the young boy was standing. Mei looked at the young boy who had his head lowered and seemed to be nervous. Mei smiled and placed her hand on top of the boy's head causing him to look up with his eyes turned upwards. "From today onwards you will be called Nomi and will become Frey's little brother." 

Mei couldn't let the poor child live a life without anyone to rely on. She figured since she already had a daughter why not take in a son as well? He seemed like a good child and had not caused any issues while staying in the space. But then again the child was like a blank slate with no attachment to anyone or anything. 

Frey looked at Mei and then at the little boy and a big smile formed on her face as she flew over and sat on top of Nomi's head and patted it. "Don't worry little brother your big sister will protect you!" 

Nomi's cheeks blushed, not sure what to think. But he kinda liked being called little brother. He looked up at Mei and opened his mouth but no words came out. Only after a few tries did he finally push out the words "Mother...".

Mei smiled and patted Nomi's shoulder nodding her head. "Mmm good. Make sure you do not fight with your sister okay? You two have to protect each other." 

Nomi nodded his head to show he understood. With that settled the group went into the cottage and had a meal. Mei fixed up a spare room for Tang Yu for her to sleep in since they could not cultivate within her space. After saying good night Mei went to her own room. Frey was already waiting for her, so Mei quickly got changed and laid down on the bed. That night sleeping in such a familiar place allowed Mei to sleep soundly. She slept through until the next morning when she felt a small finger poking her cheek. She opened her eyes to see Frey floating in the air with her wings flapping about, leaning over poking at her face. 

Seeing Mei open her eyes Frey quickly became excited as she said: "Mother Frey's hungry!" Although she could eat her own magicules she still preferred the ones Mei made for her. Mei smiled and formed a pink ball of magicule and handed it to Frey. 

Frey happily took the ball of magicule and bit into it without a single thought. But as soon as she swallowed the first bite her body seemed to freeze up and she fell onto the bed. Mei saw this and quickly got up and scooped Frey up into her hands in a panic. "Frey!!!"
