Chapter 311: The straw dummy

"It's the main garden!" Celia spread her arms wide as if trying to embrace the whole garden. In this way, she introduced her grandma to the garden.

In this special place, Yumia already felt a familiar aura.

It came from the Elven Crystallized Heart. However, nothing was warmer than Celia's smile, so grandma fixed her eyes on the little dullahan.

Alex and Remia smiled as well.

"I will take a nap!" Celia saw that Alex and the girls wanted to talk about something serious. She was a good girl and quite astute, so she took a nap with her wolves.

And speaking of the wolves, Bo was already bound to Celia's heart. He developed his own personality, and his soul was no different than any other living being.

Unfortunately, Bo didn't have a real body. He was far from the perfect existence like Erin, whose curves and heart were made out of more techniques than just a battle spirit.

But as she had her freedom and real body now, Bo surely would achieve the same perfect existence.

It would mean that he and Ubo would bring back werewolves!

The little dullahan and her friends enjoyed the trimmed law, sleeping soundlessly. Celia held her plushie tightly, stealing the spotlight with Kubo in her arms. Her wolves also rolled on the ground while sleeping, as if someone scratched their tummies.

They were a pack of good and lovely friends, weren't they?

Alex chuckled before locking his eyes on his mother-in-law, "How do you feel here, mother?"

"I would say like at home," Yumia replied with a dazzling smile, momentarily looking at her daughter, "This item is a treasure for us, of course.

But one item won't turn a forest fairy into an elf. We will strengthen our forces and help them develop new skills if we bring everyone here.

I would only use it as a last resort, though," Yumia said before explaining her thoughts.

If every forest fairy with a royal bloodline stepped into Alex's main garden, they would develop their bloodlines and help with the main garden. However, the crystallized heart didn't have infinite quantity.

It would slowly lose its luster soon, getting depleted of its power.

Thus, Alex and Remia had two choices, the short and far-sighted. The former would help them develop Remia and her family's bloodlines. It would significantly help in the incoming dire times with the Beast Kingdom.

The latter, however, was to focus just on Remia. She would take the whole main garden and crystallized elven heart for herself. This way, she would develop the elven bloodline the most out of everyone.

And her children would inherit it. It was a far-sighted plan because it wasn't like Remia and Alex would reproduce like rabbits, "Would you?"

To Yumia's inquiry, Alex and Remia blushed.

The forest fairy princess waved her hands, "What are you thinking, mother?"

Yumia harrumphed, "Don't you two get weird ideas?"

Alex and Remia scratched their hairs awkwardly, not realizing that such a reaction utterly turned Alex's former words useless. Yumia understood that her daughter had a fair share in their idea of having sex in the queen's room and even balcony!

She sighed before continuing, "It's your choice. I'm not a woman who will selfishly use a newly formed bond to leverage in-laws. But if the Beast Kingdom knocks onto our doors with killing intent, I will beg for your help, Alexander."

There was no shame in her words. No one heard her except Alex and Remia. They were also family, so they could be more open-minded.

Alex shook his head, "Such a thing won't happen. The hungry demons won't win in my continent, for it is my wives' home."

"Yes," Remia added, holding her beloved's hand.

Yumia gazed at them seriously, sharing a piece of good advice, "It's good to be confident in yourself. But it won't hurt to think, 'what if?, am I right?

Fear is not just the antagonists' weapon. We can use it to fuel ourselves too," Yumia said before going to the little dullahan.

She picked her sleeping self, holding her as if she was already her granddaughter.

"I know that," Alex replied, picking up Bo.

His future wife took a small wolf into her arms, following Alex and her mother.

They went to check the barracks now.

While forest fairies couldn't use smithy, the same didn't mean for the other two facilities. They could use the alchemy room; even Remia had a subclass that allowed her to play with the potions' taste.

If she pushed for more with her legendary class, Remia could gain more quests and benefits from the alchemy class.

"It's worth trying out, so I will go here. You two check barracks," Remia said while raising Ubo's paw. He still slept but provided enough warmth for Remia, "I won't be alone, for Ubo will be with me."

"Yeah, call me if something happens," Alex replied with a grin, giving Remia's lips a peck. He stroked Ubo's head, too.

And with that, Alex was left alone with the queen. Of course, Bo and Celia were still with them, but they didn't plan to wake up from their nap anytime soon.

It felt comfortable, both in Alex and Yumia's hands.

[You have entered the barracks.]

The barracks were probably one of the vast areas in the Deathwill Castle, even more than the royal baths. In this place, many soldiers had their rooms. However, the most catching thing was naturally the training room.

Every class would find something for themselves there.

The straw dummies caught Alex's attention. They looked fragile, yet Alex couldn't imagine something of a low quality to be located in his castle.

He approached one of them, placing his hand on it.

[You can imbue a part of your battle experience in the straw dummy.]

Alex's heart trembled as he opened the system. He had his experiences with various people described here.

[You have imbued your battle experience against Sara Deathwill in the straw dummy.]

In an instant, the straw dummy grasped a wooden spear. He moved forward to Alex, mimicking Sara's movement!

The straw dummy didn't think. He just wanted to beat Alex.

A short spar ensued.
