The place where Reiju lived was not on the main ship of the Snail Ship.
The main ship of the Germa Kingdom was primarily a place to receive guests, as well as Judge's laboratory and residence.
Whether it was Reiju's or Sora's residence, they were both on another Snail Ship.
Sora took Rosse and left the reception hall, walking onto the deck of the Snail Ship.
The appearance of this pair undoubtedly attracted quite a bit of attention from the people of Germa Kingdom.
The current Germa Kingdom was not yet the future kingdom made entirely of modified men and women.
However, Judge had always been a self-centered person. A man like him didn't trust others, so even the current citizens of Germa Kingdom were all slaves wearing slave collars, regardless of gender.
Although they were slaves, seeing Queen Sora and Celestial Dragon Rosse appear together, and with only these two people, it was inevitable that some would form associations.
And because Judge didn't care, these associations often turned into blatant stares that ultimately fell on Sora.
Sora was very sensitive to the perception of gazes, and after noticing others' eyes, her walking pace quickened.
Rosse just smiled without saying a word, lazily following behind Sora.
"Your Majesty!", Arriving at the Snail Ship where Reiju resided, two gatekeeping maids slightly bowed to Sora.
The two looked almost identical, with a '66' tattoo engraved on their faces, one on the left cheek, one on the right. Their expressions were like eternal ice, and their eyes reflected nothing but indifference.
"Mazo, Mayu, I want to go in and see Reiju."
Seeing that the two didn't show any abnormal expressions, Sora's mood slightly eased.
But Mazo's next words completely froze her expression.
"Your Majesty, without the King's order, you do not have the right to visit Reiju."
"Why? Since when was this the rule?"
Rosse keenly observed that when Sora shouted these words, her fists clenched unconsciously.
For a mother, not being allowed to see her own daughter, how devastating must that be?
But regarding this matter, Rosse made clear he wasn't taking the blame.
Let's just say, Judge is a good man.
"Your Majesty, three days ago after your argument with the King, he issued this order. And he downgraded your authority within the kingdom by two levels," Mazo said expressionlessly.
"Argument? In his eyes, that was an argument?", Sora trembled all over, shouting as if laughing from anger, "He wants to train his own daughter into an emotionless weapon, this is me making trouble?"
"Your Majesty, your current clearance is only level D, the same as the other birthing units. You do not have the authority to shout in front of us," Mazo said calmly.
"You…", Sora's fingers trembled as she pointed at Mazo, but she was now utterly helpless.
Mazo and Mayu were cyborgs Judge made during the MADS era. Their strength ranked among the top in the kingdom, with the only defect being they could not give birth.
BANG!
Just as Sora was at a loss, Rosse decisively took action.
The Trident of the Sea God stabbed heavily into Mazo's stomach, pinning her and her body against the wall behind her.
Ever since he nailed Mukang to a tree last time and found the visual impact quite good, Rosse had taken a liking to this style.
"Enemy attack!"
Mazo was nailed to the wall. Even though blood was seeping from her wound, her face showed not a trace of change.
She was like a precise machine. She raised the gun in her hand and aimed at Rosse, about to pull the trigger.
"So ugly," Rosse spoke faintly. Without any visible movement, Mazo's gun-wielding arm was cleanly severed from her body and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Mayu beside her raised her gun, and both her hands were also neatly sliced off.
But after her hands were severed, Mayu's face still showed no sign of pain. She completely ignored the injuries on her arms and continued charging toward them.
"This is Judge's final product? Like a machine, but without the hardness of one," Rosse gently shook his head.
Mayu's charging posture suddenly halted. Her legs seemed to crash into a sharp blade, with her knees completely cut off. Her upper body kept moving forward due to inertia and crashed to the ground.
But even so, Mazo and Mayu still wriggled their bodies, expressionlessly crawling toward Rosse.
Unfortunately, they were ultimately made of flesh and blood, not some zombie. In the case of excessive blood loss, they passed out within seconds.
"Throw these two to Judge. They offended me. You know what to say," Rosse withdrew the Trident of the Sea God and glanced at the surrounding slave onlookers.
Before the surrounding people could react, he had already pulled Sora into Reiju's residence.
Only long after they left did the slaves dare to approach and carry away Mazo and Mayu along with their severed limbs.
Inside Reiju's residence, Sora's eyes kept changing expression as she let Rosse lead her deeper in.
She truly never expected, that when Judge stopped her from seeing her daughter and wanted to train Reiju into a weapon like Mazo and Mayu, it would actually be an outsider who helped her.
Perhaps, her previous thoughts were too naive.
However…
Feeling the warmth of Rosse's palm, a hint of emotion flickered in Sora's beautiful eyes.
'So this is what it feels like to be protected by someone.'
'So warm!'
"Madam Sora, is this your daughter?", Until Rosse's gentle voice suddenly rang out, Sora finally snapped back and hurriedly looked to the side.
Only then did she realize they had already entered the room where Reiju lived.
Rather than calling it a nursery, it was more like a laboratory space.
The four walls were a dull gray, as if telling of endless loneliness and desolation.
Inside the room, various instruments were arranged in an orderly fashion. They flickered with faint light, quietly monitoring every state of Reiju's body, carrying an indescribable chill.
Growing up in this kind of environment, even a healthy child would likely suffer psychological trauma and shadows.
Reiju, only two years old, was at this moment quietly sleeping inside a nutrient pod surrounded tightly by various instruments. Her face was peaceful like the dawn of early morning, seemingly completely unaware of what such an environment meant.
"Yes, she is Reiju," Sora hurriedly let go of Rosse's hand and rushed to the side of the nutrient pod.
At this moment, Sora seemed to have infinite courage. She violently and decisively unplugged the various instruments attached to the pod.
As the nutrient pod slowly opened, Sora gently held her daughter in her arms. Her gaze was filled with infinite love and affection, eyes that seemed to melt all ice and snow, warming the world.
This was her child. She didn't want her to become a tool in Judge's hands.
Rosse simply stood by with arms folded, quietly admiring the scene of mother and daughter embracing.
No matter when, the power of love was always incomparably strong.
Seeing such a beautiful, love-filled scene, Rosse was full of joy.
However, it seemed like something was missing at this moment.
Rosse smiled and stepped forward, speaking softly and appropriately, "Madam Sora, you also don't want Reiju…"
