"I've been eyeing her for a long time, but you never gave her to me."
"I figured it out. Happiness is something you have to earn yourself! Instead of passively accepting it, you should actively seize it!!!"

Volume 2: Chapter 52: Russell: What did you say!
The shower head was plugged back into the base, and the water in the water heater had been used up, leaving only the cold water falling from the sky, like ice particles, hitting Talina's body.
Viviana had already left, taking her feathers as her own trophies.
"Why... do you want to snatch it? I will obviously... give it to you..."
Huddled helplessly in the corner, Talina stroked the origin of her feather with her hand.
The feathers on their bodies can be said to be the most precious things of the Liberians.
Friendship, love, these special emotions are all condensed by them in those tiny feathers, waiting for the person they will meet in their destiny.
Talina has always taken good care of her feathers, basking in the sun, applying conditioner, and keeping every feather clean.
The white feathers were mixed in her hair, enjoying the nourishment of her owner. She had been there since Talina was born.
It takes the longest time to grow and gets the most nutrition, so the feathers she grows are longer and more beautiful than those that grow later.
Compared to the three small feathers growing next to it, this feather is more important to Talina!
Of course, Talina was grateful to Russell and Viviana who adopted her. She also prepared unique feathers for each of them and would give them to them when the time was right.
The longest feather was prepared for Viviana.
The reason why she didn't give it to him was that she wanted to wait until the feather grew to its most perfect and beautiful state, then pick it off with her own hands and give it to this respected person.
But...it's no longer needed...
There was no resistance, no struggle. When Talina knew that Viviana's target was the feathers on her head, she understood.
Under Talina's control, Viviana easily took off the feather, expressed her love, and left.
The feathers of the Liberi are somewhat special. It is difficult to take them off unless they are willing.
If you try to remove it forcibly, the skin will be torn off along with it.
Unable to bear hurting this family member, Talina relaxed herself and "delivered" her feathers to the other party in another way.
"Like...? What exactly... is liking... what is... love?"
For as long as Tarina could remember, her parents had treated her poorly.
Due to the lack of family conditions, Tarina has always lived a life of hunger and fullness. Her arrival was just an accident.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared in the Rocken Tank.
After getting the money, her parents decisively abandoned her, took the money and lived the life they wanted.
Fortunately, she was lucky.
When she was in the Rocken tank, Percy took care of her. Although they were not related by blood, Percy brought her warmth that she had never experienced before.
Patsy took care of her simply out of pity for the weak. When she saw the child shivering in the corner, she accepted her out of pity.
In the subsequent interactions, Percy gradually began to pay attention to this poor child and struggled on the boundaries of morality.
Finally, she chose the answer she wanted.
Took Talina away from that dark place.
Is this like it?
No, it's not.
This is simply a person with a conscience extending his arms to the unfortunate people who are suffering.
Narcissa, Viviana, Maria, Margaret.
These were people who had good intentions towards her, but the weight of their kindness was too heavy for her to bear.
After casually washing herself, Talina put on her clothes and walked out.
What happened tonight was a bit complicated, and the amount of information was beyond her processing ability, so she could only digest it slowly.
The night outside the window was pitch black, with two moons hanging high in the sky. The different colored moons made Talina's mind complicated. She lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Burying the lower half of her face in the quilt, Talina stared at the sky in a trance.
Now that she is an adult, she still doesn't know what liking and love are.
She remained in a daze until dawn. With doubts deep in her heart, Talina could no longer resist the sleepiness that swept over her and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps, only when the young Liberi stands at the crossroads of choice can he understand his own heart.
.........
With the pain of a hangover, Russell reluctantly got out of bed.
Even though Viviana and Talina had given her basic hygiene last night, there was still a lingering smell of alcohol on her body.
Holding the handrail, I slowly walked down the stairs, went to the dining room, and sat down, waiting for dinner to be served.
The aroma of breakfast came from the kitchen. Russell looked over, but did not see the little figure. Instead, it was Viviana, who liked to sleep in, wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
"Where's Tarina? Isn't she up yet?"
Looking around, Russell didn't find the hardworking child in his sight.
"Still resting in the room."
After taking the time to reply to Russell, Viviana continued to work on her work.
Isn't that right? Isn't this kid usually the first one to get up? Why is he sleeping in today, contrary to his usual behavior?
Didn’t you drink juice yesterday?
Well, forget it. The kid has been busy for so long, just let him sleep. Young people should get more rest so that they can grow taller.
"I'll bring her breakfast in a bit. She's worked hard for the past three years. From now on, I'll make breakfast for her."
Taking off her apron, Viviana picked up the prepared breakfast and walked out of the kitchen.
Holding a glass of milk, Viviana took it in her hand and shook it slightly, leaving traces of milk on the wall of the glass.
The breakfast in front of her was untouched, and Viviana just looked at Russell.
She was thinking about whether she should confess to Russell. This suppressed love was driving her crazy. She didn't want Russell to push Talina towards Margaret anymore.
After spending time together day and night, her feelings have long been tested by time. She believes that the love in her heart is no less than that of others.
She had a thin black string around her neck, which wrapped around her slender and proud neck and hung down into her collar.
At the intersection of the thin lines, a white and soft feather was hanging there alone.
The veins of the feathers are delicate and soft, making this feather beautiful like a work of art.
"If you have anything to do, tell me."
Russell, who was eating breakfast with his head down, suddenly spoke.
She knew her daughter very well. Whenever she was worried, she would shake the drink.
The movement of her hands paused for a moment, and then slowly began to shake again. Viviana supported her chin with one hand, the sadness in her eyes disappeared, and a firm look replaced the past confusion.
"Mom, this may make you feel uncomfortable."
To prevent Russell from being scared, Viviana gave her a shot in advance.
"I, your mother, have lived for so many years, what haven't I seen? Tell me quickly, I need to go back and rest after you finish."
With a sneer, Russell finished the breakfast on his plate, picked up the milk at hand, and swallowed the food in his throat.
The slightly scalding sweet milk brought great relief to Russell's body, and the smell of alcohol around him was also dispelled.
Putting the quilt down, Viviana straightened her body and spoke out her inner thoughts word by word.
"I like Tarina, and I hope you can...help us!"
Puff!!!!!!!
"Ahem! Ahem! What did you say?!"
Frightened by Viviana's sincere words, Russell spat out the milk in his mouth and stood up from his seat in shock.
PS: I know everyone wants to see the egg-laying, but the story of Casimir is only halfway through, so it won’t happen that fast. However, I will write a separate extra chapter about the egg-laying and post it in the group. It is expected to be around tomorrow, so anyone who needs it can pick it up.
I know about the problem of ooc characters. When I started this book, Viviana hadn't been released yet, so I set her personality according to my own settings. I'm not a great writer, I can't be perfect, and I can't make everyone like me. My writing style is very immature, and I will improve myself in this regard.
Volume 2: Chapter 53: How about one gold coin?
"Do you know what you are talking about!"
Unlike his usual amiable demeanor, Russell was now like an enraged lioness, glaring at the stubborn Viviana.
Russell's hand, which was pointing at Viviana, was shaking with anger. She could hardly control herself. She wanted so much to walk up and slap her daughter in the face for speaking so arrogantly.
But when she saw Viviana's unyielding look, she couldn't lower her raised arms.
"Of course I know what I'm talking about!"
Viviana stood up unwillingly, supporting herself on the table with both hands, and put all her courage here. She knew very well that if she couldn't get past Russell, she would never be able to be with Talina openly.
"I like her! What's wrong with that?!"
"I've been with her day and night for three years! Three years! Why can't I like her?"
"No! I don't agree!"
With a wave of his hand, Russell rejected Viviana and immediately turned around to go upstairs.
Absolutely ridiculous!
It seems that I have been too immersed in my work and neglected the emotional growth of my two daughters.
"Wait a minute! Mom!"
Russell's determination made Viviana lose her composure. The courage she had just built up was completely shattered by Russell, like fragile glass.
"Don't talk to me anymore! I was just too lenient with you! You actually set your sights on Talina!"
"Do you know who she is?"
Pushing away Viviana who was standing in front of him, Russell was furious and did not restrain his strength and pushed Viviana to the ground.
Compared with Russell who had war experience, Viviana, a young person who had never seen blood and had never taken other people's lives, was completely suppressed in front of her and could not raise her head.
"Of course I know who she is! She's Talina! Your daughter!"
Hearing this, Russell laughed angrily, "Since you know this, please give up this idea! This child..."
"You're going to give it to Margaret, right?"
"you!"
His steps froze in the air, Russell looked back at Viviana lying on the ground, speechless for a long time.
She couldn't refute Viviana's words.
Although Viviana's words were a bit sharp, they hit her heart directly.
In her heart, she was indeed planning to match the two children.
It just so happened that Talina also had some feelings for Margaret. In her opinion, this was undoubtedly a match made in heaven.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get too involved in these things."
Russell had no words to refute. Eager to escape, he had to use his adult status to try to use it to pressure Viviana and force her to give up.
"Why is it none of my business? Is this how you treat Talina?! Treat her like an object, as an apology for your guilt!"
"Have you ever cared about her feelings? Have you ever cared about what she thinks?! You don't!"
"Even Margaret, you didn't ask her what she thought! You just pushed Talina to her side unilaterally!"
"Are you finished?"
Russell suppressed the aura of choosing and devouring people, and now she has returned to being the gentle mother she used to be.
