Chapter 303 Peeping
It was a calm and serene night, with a faint breeze blowing, and the moon casting a pale light on the surface of the river. Three girls, Daphnia, Kyla, and Ellen, were enjoying their time together while bathing in the cool water.
After all three removed their clothes and used towels to cover their bodies, so anyone who come to take a peek won\'t be able to see them, but they had trust in everyone in the group so they were much open to the idea of naked bonding rather than always holding a towel.
Daphnia looked like a goddess with her white hair shining in the moonlight and her allure and seductiveness cannot be even compared to the other two as she was in her own leagues.
Kyla wasn\'t too bad in that area either, because her body was curvy and she had muscles in the relevant places making her look like a Valkyrie.
Compared to them Ellena just looked like a normal girl, with her flat chest.
"So, Teacher, how did you end up here, we were worried about you when guild said that you retired all of a sudden without any prior notice. And Velian, is he really your son?" Kyla inquired, breaking the silence.
Daphnia\'s expression changed at the mention of her son\'s name. She hesitated for a moment before speaking. "It\'s not something I like to talk about, but I suppose I could tell you."
Ellena\'s eyes lit up with curiosity as she leaned in. "Really? Please do tell!"
Daphnia took a deep breath before beginning her story. "It was a difficult time for me. I was all alone, with no one to turn to. I had just given birth to Velian, and I had no idea how to take care of him. But I knew I had to do everything in my power to protect him."
"We were about to be killed, but thanks to someone I know we managed to survive and believe me or not? Velian is the one who single handily brought me to this position, he fought for our sake, and he is such a cute boy,"
Kyla listened intently, nodding in understanding. "I can\'t even imagine how tough that must have been."
Ellena, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. "Wow, Velian sounds like a strong and resilient person. I\'m sure he takes after his mother."
Daphnia smiled at the comment, appreciating the compliment. "He definitely does. He\'s been through a lot, but he\'s still managed to come out on top."
Ellena\'s voice suddenly changed, and her tone became more flirtatious. "Speaking of Velian, I have to admit, he\'s quite the catch. He\'s smart, kind, and handsome. I wouldn\'t mind getting to know him better."
Kyla laughed at the sudden change of topic. "Ellena, you\'re shameless. But I have to agree, Velian is an amazing person."
Daphnia, however, felt a pang of worry in her chest. She didn\'t know how to react to Ellen\'s words. Velian was her son, and she didn\'t want him to start a relationship with a naive girl just because of a crush, so she decided to keep an eye on Ellena during this whole trip to see whether she would become a suitable girl for Velian and their family or just another fan girl.
"I\'m not sure if Velian is interested in dating anyone right now," Daphnia said hesitantly, hoping to put an end to the conversation.
Ellena shrugged, unfazed. "Well, we\'ll just have to see about that, won\'t we?"
The three girls continued their conversation, but Daphnia couldn\'t shake off the uneasy feeling that settled in her heart. She hoped that everything would turn out alright, and that Velian wouldn\'t be hurt by anyone\'s intentions until Daphnia felt something strange.
"Mother! Mother! Can you hear me?" Velian used telepathy to communicate with Daphnia, who was bathing so others won\'t hear.
And Daphnia quickly responded as Velian was the last person she expected to come and peek at them. She felt a little worried wondering whether something happened in the camp, so she decided to question.
"It\'s nothing like that, I wanted to see you bathing, I didn\'t come here to peek at other girls,"
Hearing Velian\'s words inside her head, Daphnia felt a little embarrassed because her son was peeling on her but, she wanted to do something more than peeking.
She suddenly started swimming toward the bank of the river, which surprised the other two girls.
"Teacher, are you going back? We didn\'t even scrub our bodies," Kyla wanted to stay here a little longer because it felt comfortable, but suddenly Daphnia looked at them and smiled.
"I\'m going to pick some flowers, you girls shouldn\'t stay, if I get late, go back, I will come after I\'m done with my job,"
She said and slowly walked in the direction where she saw Velian\'s shadow, and she made sure the other two won\'t be suspicious.
"Ellena, stop hitting on the teacher\'s son, she looks uncomfortable when you bring that up," As soon as Daphnia left, Kyla said looking at her junior who had a smile on her face.
Hearing Kyla\'s words, Ellena smiled at her with a little grin mixed into it.
"I won\'t stop, Kyla, if you think about such trivial things, you won\'t be able to find someone,"
"What are you trying to imply?" Kyla asked in a little serious tone.
"Did you think I won\'t notice? It\'s not only me that is looking at him always, even when fighting and camping, you always wanted to talk with Velian, normally you would stay silent and stay all gloomy, but today-" Ellena thought about how she was until now and compared it with her current behaviour.
"It\'s not like that, do you think I would try to seduce someone half of my age? I\'m not like that, but even if I did, I won\'t reduce my teacher\'s son," Her words were conflicting with her own emotion as she looked bothered by how accurate Ellena was.
After a long time, Kyla felt interested in a man and wanted to know more about him, but she knew with her body and way of acting Velian won\'t find her attractive.
"I don\'t stand a chance, " Leaving those words, Kyla submerged her head in the water trying to calm down her thoughts and wondering how she was going to spend her life after this journey.
