Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 605 - New Word

Chapter 605 - New Word

"Nom… Nom!"
Benladra ate a large steak we had grilled for her.
The more days passed since her birth, toe more voracious her appetite became, it was quite worrisome in a way, but there wasn't much we could do over it; she was a dragon after all…
Man, I wish I could met more dragons that are actually old and all… like alive, not the annoying ghost dragon, or that other young dragon. Those two moon dragons are not what I truly wanted!
I want to meet some dignified old dragons, or something like that… but not this.
Ah, well, I still got my dragon baby daughter.
She was eating a lot of steaks today, she was really quite hungry today, huh? more than usual as well! This means that she really is energetic this morning.
"I think she's stuffing herself with too much meat." Said Miranda.
"No, leave her… She's a dragon…" said Benladann.
"Dragons eat meat form the very beginning of their lives?" asked Miranda.
"Well, yeah. Technically we don't need to eat anything more than meat, but I eat a lot of other things myself." I said.
"I've seen you eating even metals before…" said Benladann.
"Well yeah…" I said while laughing.
It has been a while since I ate any delicious metallic materials, they're hard to find around so easily, these vast ice lands are filled with large mountains, but I don't have the time to bother mining them around… maybe later, if I ever settle down in some place.
"Now that we are here all together I wanted to tell you something important…" said Miranda.
Suddenly, the atmosphere changed as Miranda spoke something out.
"Y-Yes?" asked Benladann.
"What is it?" I wondered.
"…The other people… they really want to interact more with Benladra, especially the kids. They all want her to be their little sister!" said Miranda.
"Eh? Is that so?" asked Benladann.
"You talked so seriously about something like that…" I sighed.
"H-Hey! It is very important! Don't look down on it!" said Miranda.
I understand how they might felt though, I know that the others want to spend some time with the new princess of the kingdom as well, but they have to realize that Benladra is way too overly sensitive, so I cannot rally leave her with too many people.
At most I have to slowly introduce them to her through small little events here and there, but I suppose I should be pushing this more than I had previously done, we were mostly caging her for the two of us pretty much, with the occasional grandparents, Miranda, or Belle showing up.
Maybe we could start with the children, if we let Benladra interact with people that looks her age, she might open up to more sociability, but she's just almost a month old, I can't ask her to be the most sociable out there, and they have to understand this…
"The thing is, she's not really like the other children, they already got years of age while she's still very much a baby. A month-old baby, she might know how to say mama and papa, but she can't really say anything else…" I said.
"Yeah, she is also overly sensitive, so she got a hard time dealing with multiple people, I know and understand what you meant, but we just have to ask everyone to be more patient about her." said Benladann.
"I understand how they might feel though, I know they want to spend some time with her as well because she's my daughter and everyone is fascinated by that fact… but just as Benladann pointed out, she's way too overly sensitive, indeed…" I said.
"I suppose… Maybe we could slowly introduce the crew to her? everyone in here is like a big family after all." Said Miranda.
"I had thought about it as well, but we'll delay it for a bit more, I know very well that everyone in here is like a big family, and that's why I think that we should slow down with this." I said.
"Hm, I suppose… Sorry if I came out rude." Said Miranda.
"Don't worry! Actually, I think Benladra is slowly progressing, she already accepts your presence here and doesn't begin to cry every time…" said Benladann.
"Yeah, you've helped her progress a lot. You're very helpful…" I said.
Miranda blushed a bit as she smiled.
"W-Well, that's how things are… I-I don't know how I do it though, but I guess being a nice auntie works and makes the trick!" said Miranda.
"Aun!"
Benladra suddenly said a few words.
All three of us looked at her in surprise.
"Aunt!" she said again.
"S-She said aunt!" said Benladann.
"S-She really did so?!" asked Miranda in shock.
"See? She grew fond of you, a bit…" I said.
Miranda's face grew more and more happy, as she smiled back at Benladra.
"I-I guess… You don't hate me anymore?" asked Miranda.
"Aun… Babah!" said Benladra, as she stretched her little hands towards Miranda.
"She wants you to hug her, I think…" I said.
"R-Really?!" asked Miranda.
"Go ahead, give it a try." Said Benladann.
Miranda slowly approached the little and beautiful baby girl, as her tiny hands touched her belly and hugged her.
"Aun…"
Miranda felt like she was slowly melting away, her eyes were made into heart-shape now, and she felt fascinated with the little girl.
"You're so cute, Benladra!" she said, hugging her back and kissing her forehead.
"Hehe…" Benladra giggled while she was being given attention.
"See? She really likes you." Said Benladann.
"S-She really does?!" asked Miranda in shock.
"Yeah, yeah, look at her, how happy is she? Very happy indeed." I said.
"I-I can barely believe it…" said Miranda.
"Well believe it!" said Benladann.
"I guess after a lot of days she slowly grew fond of you, although she's probably friendlier when we are around." I said.
"Yeah…" said Benladann.
We continued eating breakfast until we finished, and then we decided to continue our daily lives, including changing Benladra's diapers…
