I Got Isekai'd, Well Shyt! Vol. 1, 2, and 3

Vol.3 How Many Pups Will You Carry?

When Tayna was taking a bath, Johan hurried to his chambers, cleaned himself up, and dressed before Lester could walk in. After putting on his clothes, he walked to the main dining room. The table had several plates filled with food. A couple of servants worked around the room, cleaning the tables and chairs.

"Where's the Prince and his Lady?" Johan asked a nearby servant.

"They are coming, milord. They should be here shortly."

Johan nodded, "Okay."

The servant bowed and continued to work.

Yuliana and Nieren were the first to arrive. Yuliana was wearing a white dress and a tiara, which signified her rank as a former princess. She was carrying a special satchel that had the three Elder Tree saplings. She had spent the last two decades trying to get them to grow to no avail. It was Rya who noticed that the seeds were poisoned by wyvern blood. And she healed them.

Nieren was wearing her Fiafyrian retainer armor, which was black leather and was designed for an archer. She was wearing her cloak of invisibility and had her bow on her back with a quiver on her left hip. She also had two knives on her thighs, and her leather boots had metal tips on the toes. But her beautiful face had two dark spots underneath her eyes.

"Good morning, Lord Johan." Yuliana said in a chipper tone.

"Good morning, Princess and... Is your daughter okay?" Johan asked as he noticed Nieren bumping into a chair.

Yuliana's chipper attitude turned sour as she looked at her daughter.

"Nieren!" She called out.

Nieren just grumbled.

"My apologies. She didn't use the earplugs I gave her. I think everyone who was performing mating rituals had kept her up to an unreasonable hour."

Johan started feeling bad for the young wood elf, for he was one of the culprits.

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? You weren't the only one."

"Still. I can't imagine what it was like to hear everything around you so easily. But I can understand someone being loud and keeping you up. It can be annoying."

"Thank you for understanding, Lord Johan. But my daughter could have done something about it, and she's stubborn in her ways," Yuliana said with a smile.

Nieren had sat down and had her head on the table. She was snoring softly.

"Why didn't she use the earplugs? If you don't mind me asking?" Johan asked as he was concerned for the poor wood elf.

"Haah... She told me that it was her sworn duty to protect Lady Rya. And she thinks she can't do that with her ears plugged up... Sadly, I think she gets that trait from me," Yuliana shook her head as she looked at her daughter.

"What do you mean?"

"Well... When I was her age. I thought I knew what was best for my family. My father was the leader of our people, and he would tell me to do things smarter and not harder. I didn't listen to him and did something that made me look like a fool. But luckily, I survived it."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Johan said, not wanting to pressure her.

"It's in the past. Oh! Nieren! Watch out!" Yuliana yelled out.

Nieren slipped off her chair and smacked her head against the ground, jolting herself awake.

"Aaaahhh!" Nieren yelled as she jumped to her feet.
