Chapter 1276: That’s Great! Amy Has A Mother Too!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Irina lowered her head and looked at Amy. Her long eyelashes trembled and her azure blue eyes were filled with hope and expectations as she held her breath.
When she first opened her eyes after she was born, this little fellow also looked at her like this. Back then, she could only whimper and cry, but in the blink of an eye, she had grown so big.
During the three years when she was away, she would always wonder if Mag and Amy were alive, if the little fellow that she gave birth to had grown up, and if she was hungry.
When she first saw her at Magus Tower, she felt the intense bond between mother and child. She finally saw the child that had been taken away from her by force. The little fellow had grown into a pretty little lady.
However, the little fellow knew neither who she was nor who her mother was.
This made her feel a little depressed. However, for her safety, she could only choose to keep it from her.
Now, she was actually holding this little fellow like a mother, and this little fellow even asked her to be her mother. This all felt very miraculous.
Seeing that Irina remained silent, Amy continued hard-selling her father. “Other than being a good cook, Father is also very nice and gentlemanly. Also, I’ll let you in on a little secret. He is actually a very, very powerful knight. If you marry him, you would be very safe. He can protect us.”
“I know. He is very impressive.” Irina nodded.
Amy smiled. Her father was great indeed. She didn’t seem to need to praise him much.
“I want to know. Little Amy, why do you want me to be your mother? Don’t you miss your mother?” Irina asked Amy gently as her left hand clutched the blanket nervously.
“I miss her too. Father said that she is a very beautiful elf who had gone to the moon, and he doesn’t know when she’ll be back. But I’ve secretly asked Big Sister Babla, and she said that there are no elves on the moon, so I can be certain that Father was lying to me. Amy’s mother is not on the moon at all.” Amy pouted her little mouth with grievance.
Irina was filled with self-reproach and felt apologetic towards Amy.
“Although there are many pretty big sisters in the restaurant, Father always seems very lonely. I think he likes you because there are little stars in his eyes when he looks at you. It’s different from when he looks at other big sisters.” Amy smiled again. She touched Irina’s cheek gently with her little hand. “Also, I love you too. When I dream of my mother, she would look just like you. It would be great if Big Sister Irina can be my other. Father would be very happy too.”
Irina was also full of smiles when she saw Amy smiling. She pretended to think for a while, and said, “That’s a request that’s really hard to reject.”
“Then agree to it and you can enjoy Father’s cooking for free in the future! Another bowl of tofu pudding!” Amy enticed her as she blinked her big eyes.
“I cannot accept him so easily. I’ll have to see how well he performs.” Irina shook her head. However, she smiled again very quickly and kissed Amy’s forehead. She put her forehead against Amy’s and said, “But, I will allow Little Amy to call me ‘Mother’ when there’s no one around.”
“Really?!” Amy’s eyes lit up.
“Of course.” Irina nodded.
“Then, can I do it now?”
“Yes.”
“Mother!”
“Yes.”
“Mother!”
“Yes.”
“Mother! Mother! Mother!”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
“That’s great, Amy has a mother too!” Amy kissed Irina’s cheek and then jumped out from her embrace as she jumped happily on the bed with an excited smile.
Irina looked at Amy and felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She was also beaming with joy.
From today onwards, I will always be by your side. No one will be able to bully you, Irina thought to herself.
Amy jumped for a while and went back to Irina’s embrace. She looked up slightly, and said, “Mother, go to sleep then, I won’t disturb you.” After that, she closed her eyes obediently.
“Alright.” Irina cuddled Amy carefully for fear that she would hurt her if she used too much strength, yet she wanted to hold her a little tighter at the same time. Although it felt a little awkward, her heart was at peace, and she fell asleep very quickly.
Meanwhile, Amy opened her eyes slowly and took a sneak peek at Irina. She looked left and right, and felt that no matter how she looked at her, her mother was the most beautiful person in this world, just like a dream.

Miya and Elizabeth returned to Mamy Restaurant with Gina after sending the people from Lantisde back to the Boundless Sea Realm.
Mag, who was reenergized after a nap, poured the three of them some water, and asked, “Did everything go smoothly?”
“Yes. Nothing happened on the way.” Miya took a big gulp of water as she nodded.
“That’s great. It’s been hard on you today. Take a break, and we will have hot pot and barbeque for dinner tonight to celebrate the successful mission, and to welcome Firis and s.h.i.+rley back,” Mag said with a smile.
“I’m going to soak in my bathtub for a while,” Gina said. When she walked past Mag, she wanted to give Mag a big hug.
“Gina, it’s been tough on you today. Go soak in your fish tank for a while. Your tail is already out,” Mag said with a smile as he glanced at the fishtail that emerged from under her skirt, and avoided Gina’s hug of death skilfully.
Irina was upstairs at that moment, so he had to watch his every word and every action. He could never do anything to make her misunderstand.
“It really is out!” Gina glanced at her tail and rushed upstairs in quick, small steps. Although she had completely adapted to living on land, her tail would still appear when she was exhausted. However, all she needed was a good sleep back in the bathtub, and it would all be fine.
Not long after, Firis, Babla, and the others returned.
Connie had a scarf wrapped several times around her head, and the moment she entered, she curiously asked, “I heard that Princess Irina is in the restaurant? Can I get her autograph?”
“Princess Irina is in the restaurant?” Yabemiya and Elizabeth, who were sitting at the side, were both shocked. They looked around, but did not see her anywhere.
“She’s sleeping with Amy upstairs.” Mag tried to say it as calmly as he could. However, why did it sound like he was saying his wife was taking an afternoon nap with his daughter?
Even though that might be the case, this was not the right time to let the cat out of the bag.
Indeed, when they heard Mag’s words, everyone’s expression changed.
