She asked Glenn and Brigitte to adopt her because she needed a powerful family to protect her until she could move on her own.

Knowing Glenn, that big softie, she knew that he would accept her request.

However, this was the first time that she met the queen. She knew that Glenn wouldn’t choose a horrible woman for a wife. However, what did she know?

[I was never interested in romance, but I know love could make a person blind or crazy.]

Nikolai was a prime example of that.

“Your Majesty, we don’t need time to decide,” Glenn said politely, then he put a hand over Brigitte’s hand. “Of course, we will welcome you into our family.”

Huh?

[That easy?]

.....

Brigitte, who was on the bed because she hadn’t fully recovered yet, smiled and nodded. “We will process the adoption as soon as possible, Your Majesty.”

“Really?” Monik asked, confused. “Isn’t this something that you should discuss first?”

“Your Majesty, I failed to protect you when I was appointed to serve you in the past,” Glenn said in a cracked voice. Even though he was already a family man, he was still a crybaby, huh? “I’ll do anything and everything to make sure Your Majesty will attain peace and happiness this time.” After saying that, he turned to his wife. “I’m sorry, my queen. It might be selfish of me to ask you this, but it will make me happy if we can adopt Empress Juliet into our family.”

“Glenn, you don’t have to apologize,” Brigitte said, smiling warmly at her husband. “I know it won’t be easy for us because this is the first time we’re going to be parents to two babies, but I also know that everything we’ll be fine as long as we’re together.”

[They really love each other.]

Monik was happy for Glenn.

[He’s like a younger brother to me. I honestly worried about Glenn before since he was too loyal to Nikolai. I thought he wouldn’t get married. But I’m glad that he found someone to cherish and spend the rest of his life with.]

“Empress Juliet, this is my first time becoming a mother,” Brigitte said politely. “I may be lacking, but I’ll do my best to be a good mother to Your Majesty and our Prince Skylus.”

She wanted to say that she’d be fine since she wasn’t really a child.

However, she would lose her memories soon. And she wasn’t sure how she was going to behave by then. It was the prime reason why she needed a guardian that could become a good influence on her in the first place.

“I trust Glenn, and I also trust the choices he makes,” Monik said as gently as she could. Glenn and the others were used to her sternness. But she didn’t want to scare the queen, so she was being careful. “Moreover, Neoma only said good things about you, Queen Brigitte. I know that I’m in good hands.”

Brigitte smiled as if she was shy. “Thank you for trusting me, Your Majesty.”

“I should be the one thanking you,” she said. “I know it’s not easy to accept a stranger to be your daughter. Especially since you’re a royal family.”

“Please don’t worry about that, Your Majesty,” Glenn assured her. “We’re happy to have a bigger family.”

The queen smiled and nodded.

[I can trust these people.]

Speaking of trust…

Monik frowned when she remembered something unpleasant. “Nikolai told me Kyle Sprouse betrayed him and shared the royal twins’ confidential information with the crows.”

Glenn’s face turned grim when he nodded. “That’s right, Your Majesty. That Kyle Sprouse turned out to be a traitor in the end.”

“And he claimed that he betrayed Nikolai for me?”

The king nodded again. “Foolish, isn’t he? He didn’t even notice that the current Lady Sloane that he’s serving is a fake.”

To be fair, even Mona and Nikolai didn’t notice it.

However, that didn’t mean she would forgive Kyle Sprouse easily.

“Mona, Nikolai, and I devised a plan to expose the fake Juliet,” Monik said, clenching her tiny hands. “I may have already lost my memories during that time. But once Nikolai and Mona caught Kyle Sprouse, could you bring me to him, Glenn? Tell him that I was the reincarnation of the Juliet that he claimed to “love.” But, of course, don’t do it in front of me. I don’t wish to know that I was the empress in my past life.”

Glenn nodded politely. “As you wish, Your Majesty.”

“You can stop addressing me by my title now, Glenn and Queen Brigitte,” Mona said, then she put a hand over her chest. “From now on, just call me ‘Monik.’ It’s the name Mona and Nikolai gave me. And just speak informally to me.”

“If that’s your wish, Monik,” Glenn said awkwardly, then he smiled sheepishly. “It’s kind of awkward, but I guess it’s weirder to talk to our daughter formally.”

She nodded. “That’s right.”

“Monik, can I hug you?” the queen asked, then she opened her arms. “I want to hug my daughter.”

Okay, for some reason, she suddenly felt shy.

But she set that thought aside.

Monik moved the transparent egg, her personal flying vehicle, towards the queen. And when the transparent egg vanished, Brigitte caught her in her arms. “Nice catch, Mother.”

Brigitte’s face turned red, then she smiled warmly at her. “Welcome to our family, daughter.”

Glenn didn’t say anything, but he smiled kindly before hugging Brigitte and Monik.

[This is my new family now.]

“LORD MANU, I entrust Prince Skylus and Baby Monik to you,” Neoma, who was sitting on Brigitte unnie’s lap, said while rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand. “Please raise them as the Moon Saint and Light Saintess respectively.”

Brigitte unnie and Uncle Glenn would surely raise Skylus and Monik as their children.

But they needed Manu’s guidance, since the children were destined to be a saint and a saintess.

“I will,” Manu, who was watching Skylus and Monik sleep on two different cribs that were next to each other, said. Then the Moon Priest turned to him with knitted eyebrows. “How about you, Neoma de Moonasterio? Are you going to be stuck as a baby?”

The adults were talking about a serious topic because Skylus and Monik were both sleeping.

[And they look like little angels!]

“That’s what I want to know, too, Princess Neoma,” Brigitte unnie said worriedly. “I was so surprised when I saw you in that state, Your Royal Highness.”

“Ruto said that I’ll return to normal soon, and I trust him.”

Speaking of Ruto…

[He stepped out and accompanied Uncle Glenn in patrolling the area around the main palace since Ruto said he felt a strange presence earlier.]

Gosh, her man was so dependable.

[And I feel like a burden now that I can’t even sense the presence of other strong individuals.]

“I’m glad that this is only temporary,” Brigitte unnie said, then she gently pinched her cheeks. “And I’m also grateful to see you in your baby form, Princess Neoma. You might just be the cutest baby on the entire continent!”

“That’s a given, unnie. But you shouldn’t say that,” Neoma said, complaining lightly. “Prince Skylus might get jealous if you say that I’m the cutest baby on the continent even though it’s true.”

“But it’s not like my son can understand us…” the queen trailed off, then she asked nervously. “Can he?”

“He can,” Neoma confirmed. “In fact, he just gave a prophecy to me earlier.”

[A cruel prophecy, that is.]

Brigitte unnie gasped.

“As expected, he already awakened as a saint even though his divine power was taken away from him,” Manu said, sighing. Then he turned to the queen. “Brigitte Griffiths, all the saints born in this world already have the mental maturity of a young adult, at least. And as they grow, they will only become more and more mature. After all, before they were sent into this world, they have already reached adulthood back in the world where they have come from. Since the saints are representatives of the Moon God, they get to keep the memories of their past life.”

[Ah, Monik mentioned something similar. She said that once she forgets her memories as Empress Juliet, her head will be filled with Lady Roxana’s words that will help her establish the temple for the Light Goddess in the future.]

“Most of the women who gave birth to the saints died,” the Moon Priest continued. “Hence, most of the saints were raised by their mother’s relatives. However, normal humans had the tendency to hate the saints for being born with a developed mind.”

Neoma could relate.

[The de Moonasterion children are also born more mature than kids our age.]

During her childhood, even though she was posing as Nero back then, most of the kids her age avoided her for being mature.

[To be fair, I’m an adult inside.]

But she remembered that even in her first life, her mind developed faster than normal children.

[Unfortunately, the de Moonasterion children don’t get to have a normal childhood because of how our brains are wired. Is that the reason why most of us go crazy? Or are we just really born this way?]

How curious.

“I hope Prince Skylus’ maturity doesn’t scare or disgust you, young queen,” Manu said, putting a hand over his chest. “That’s my earnest wish as the Moon Priest.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Manu,” Brigitte unnie said firmly. “There’s no way my son will scare or disgust me. Glenn and I will love him with all that we have.”

Manu smiled at that assurance.

Neoma smiled, too, but she was distracted when Ruto suddenly appeared in the middle of the room…

… while grabbing an old man by the collar.

[And that old man… the one that I want to adopt!]

“Grandpa, why are you already here?” Neoma asked, shocked. “Where are my children…”

She trailed off when the old man’s appearance changed.

.....

Suddenly, Neoma was looking at a very beautiful young woman with wavy white hair, ash-gray eyes, and pale skin.

“Huh?” Neoma asked, confused. “A de Moonasterio?”

“Yes,” Ruto said calmly. “That face belongs to Princess Aruna de Moonasterio.”

Say what?!

[Isn’t Princess Aruna de Moonasterio the twin sister of the Arche de Moonasterio— the most incompetent emperor in history?!]
