Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 103 Reunion

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't dare to imagine what they heard just now, and they never thought that the surprise would come so quickly, so that they were completely unprepared for this sudden surprise.

【…Mother? 】

Kahn's voice trembled slightly, and no one would have guessed that Bloodfinger, who was indifferent and quiet in the past, would make such a sound.

The accompanying Astartes also fell into a sluggish state, their superhuman reactions knew what had just happened in just a split second, and the cabin suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence.

This voice is too familiar to them, but it has been too long since they heard it. In an instant, the feeling of a world away swept over the minds of every Primarch guard, so that the technical priest who was still debugging He couldn't help casting a puzzled look.

【it's me. 】

The cold female voice sounded again, instantly detonating the excitement hidden in the hearts of these space fighters.

The familiar and stalwart figure also appeared before their eyes again.

She stepped into the sea of ​​mind.

Some dizzy water patterns slowly spread, and the plump and round toes were slightly sunk in the white sand, embellishing her ankles like pearls. Through the clear water, you can see the healthy skin of wheat color.

Flame-like flowing red hair is loosely scattered, and the loose cloth like the ancient Terra Roman robe sets off the burly and plump figure of the Red Sand Lord, and the diagonally spreading cloth texture also vaguely outlines some robustness The outline of the tendons, like a proud queen, shows a calm and majestic momentum. The blond hair floating in the wet breeze is dyed a little wet, and some blood-like scarlet highlights can be seen vaguely. .

At this moment, the brows of the Red Sand Lord who used to be tough and heroic are now full of softness and kindness at this moment, the scarlet eyes that have been soaked in ferocity and indifference are already extremely soft, and the corners of the lips that floated in a gentle curve reveal gentle words .

[I'm back, children. 】

In front of her children, Elaine has always been a kind mother.

【Is it really you!?Mother... Please, please excuse my rudeness... We have not heard from you for too long. 】

[I can't believe it...I didn't expect Kahn's prophesy dream to be correct.We really meet you again on this land...]

【ha!That fellow Greer must be very regretful now that he didn't come to reunite with his mother like we did. 】

【Greer needs to maintain the order of the legion, I think mother will understand him. 】

……

The Astartes, who are strict and cold in the eyes of ordinary people, are now noisy like chirping sparrows, constantly turning around Elaine, or simply throwing themselves into her wide and warm arms, or Joking and joking, the tension that seemed to be being chased by the world of demons was completely resolved at this moment.

However, this is only what is presented from Elaine's perspective. Those Astartes who are bound by blood are no longer coquettish children, and their minds that have been honed by rigorous training and cruel wars are not. Will allow them to exhibit any traits of weakness.

However, the reflections of these warriors reflected by the pure water source of the sea of ​​hearts are indeed full of strong yearning for the mother of genes.

Elaine looked at the children around her with relief, and her heart, which had gone through many cruel battles, couldn't help but feel a little warmer.

[It seems that you have experienced a lot during this time. 】

【Thank you, my children. 】

【…I really miss it, since that war——I haven’t heard your voices for a long time. 】

The gentle voice echoed in the sea of ​​hearts, which also symbolized the official return of the Red Sand Lord.

【We have been looking forward to your return for a long time, mother. 】

【During this period of time, we have never stopped looking for you, but the galaxy is too big, and our contact with Terra is inexplicably up and down. 】

[Until a while ago... I had a precognitive dream, dreamed of your location, dreamed of your experience, and then we, with the help of Mr. Machado... finally found this place. 】

【Everyone in the legion misses you very much, whether it is a mortal or an Astartes, or a tech priest of the mechanical cult...】

【Nukeria needs you, please come back to us...】

Kahn was already trembling with excitement at this moment, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy, and if this mood can be traced back to the last time, it might be the time when the Primarch returned to the Empire.

After that war, the Sons of the Mountains and the Primarch were forced to separate. They didn't know where Elaine had gone, and they didn't know if she was still alive. Completely relieved, but the hanging heart could not be completely grounded, because they didn't know when Elaine would return to the legion again, and they didn't know if she was still safe now.

Many doubts, thoughts, unknowns, and entanglements entangled Kahn's complicated mind like a mess.

He hadn't seen the reliable figure of the Mother of Genes for too long—anxiety filled the legion, and as one of the two pillars of the current legion, the pressure on Kahn was unimaginable.

For the Astartes, that bond of blood means everything.

They are loyal to humans, they are loyal to the Emperor, but the existence they are most loyal to is the Primarch with whom they are related by blood.

It can be said to be the instinct burned in the gene seeds, or it can be said that they are born looking forward to the legion master who is much taller than them, but this link is undeniable.

Only when the Primarch officially returns to the Imperium can a Legion Astartes be complete.Otherwise, it is a duckweed without water and a tree without roots.

And now, the burly figure of the gene mother finally appeared in front of their eyes.

This long-suppressed joy cannot be ignored, and all the speculation and worries in the past have been thrown away at this moment.

【……Ugh. 】

【I thought my father would tell you most of the things... However, I don't blame him.I should have expected this kind of thing...]

[It's my fault, children. 】

Facing the worries of the children during this period, Elaine couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

[During my time in Colchis, I tried to contact Nuceria—however, the astronomical message received no reply. 】

[I know that there should be something blocking the connection between me and you—it’s just that when I went to solve those things, another subspace storm brought me here. 】

【Now, being found by my own child... is my dereliction of duty as a Primarch and my dereliction of duty as a mother. 】

【Come all the way... Really, thank you for your hard work. 】
