At this moment, Flori suddenly started babbling.
Two little hands reached out to Fiona beside them.
"So... so cute!" Fiona's eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth with her hand and stretched out her finger.
At this moment, her inner voice also reached Reiner's ears.
(What a cute child! I wish it was mine. I really want to have one.)
"Master Reiner, can I hold the child?"
Aliana folded her arms and said sourly, "The child cries and is hard to comfort."
"It's okay, let her try."
Seeing Reiner nod, Peggy handed the child over, and at the same time reminded him worriedly: "Be sure to hold it firmly."
Fiona held the child gently in her hands and coaxed the child like Peggy did.
Reiner narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back. Seeing that the child didn't react at all, he walked upstairs again.
"What's wrong, Lord Reiner?" Fiona blinked, puzzled.
Reiner narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully: "It's just a test. When Aliana holds her, she cries as soon as I leave her, but she doesn't cry when you hold her. There must be some logic in this..."
The child said nothing, feeling particularly safe in Fiona's broad arms.
The elf was a little upset, and she muttered angrily: "This is a bad boy..."
Lelis on the side revealed the truth: "You are just jealous."
"Shut up devil, you can't even hold a child. Florie cries when you hold her. She's even worse off than me!"
Laelisi shrugged disapprovingly: "It can't be helped. I'm a demon after all."
Peggy suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Oh my god, Flora actually fell asleep in Fiona's arms! It's only been less than a minute, this child..."
Flori closed her eyes, her body moving up and down, and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.
It's understandable; after all, with such a comfortable pillow, it's hard not to sleep soundly.
Fiona returned the child to Reiner and stared at her with her hands behind her back.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed very embarrassed.
Although Reiner had already heard her inner voice, he still asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Fiona lowered her head and scraped her boots against the wooden floor. "Lord Reiner, is the country considered stable now?"
She thought about it for a long time and finally mustered up the courage.
Reiner nodded and replied softly, "Forget it. Things are stable for now, and we have enough food for now. We're just waiting for Peggy's caravan to bring food from Melod. There's nothing serious going on for now."
Fiona grabbed a handful of hair and started playing with it unnaturally: "Well... our orc tribe has begun to migrate westward. With Lalith's assistance, it's much easier for me. I haven't had much to do at work recently.
Um... do you have time to act out a play with me? Just act out a play... go back and deal with my parents, have a meal, and then come back."
"Tonight?" Reiner asked with a raised eyebrow.
"If it's tonight, it's best to talk." Fiona raised her head and spoke faster, "But...but if you don't have time, it's okay. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Reiner raised the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I'm just going to have dinner with you tonight, it's not a big deal."
