Acheron's eyes turned golden at the sight of the baby she held in her arms. Linnet turned a bit, then slowly... her tiny eyelids fluttered open for the first time.
Her eyes were golden, purer than anything Acheron had ever seen. They locked into a gaze with her, responding to a familiar kin.
The glowing eyes intensified for a brief moment then faded slowly... Linnet's eyes returned to normal, showing its original color: red. Just like her parents.
Duchess Lancelot noticed their chain reaction to each other. She knew Acheron also was half-human, half-elf.
"It seems my baby isn't the first of her kind." She whispered into Acheron's ears as she collected back her child.
Acheron did not say anything but responded with a smile. It was their little secret.
The nobles behind her didn't notice any change nor did the people ahead of her in the line.
「 That was far too close... 」Stellar popped up in her thoughts.
