Chapter 457: You don't need to know someone to be happy for their happiness

[Nightmare, that's a bad word!] A turquoise wing with colorful tips smacked the Demon Lord's neck. [Papa say Jade can't say that word!]

Oh, good job! Papa raised you well, Jade!

"I'm sorry," Natha replied without missing a bit, taking my hands to his lips. "But how can you keep getting prettier each day, sweetheart?"

"Don't exaggerate!"

"I'm not," Natha kissed my hand again, and embarrassingly, I could hear the sounds of agreement from behind. 

Ignoring the voices so I wouldn't turn into a boiled shrimp, I shifted my gaze toward Jade, who was perching on Natha's shoulder. My familiar was no longer the cute, plump bird we used to, but the elegant elemental bird. Well...it was still a lot smaller compared to adult elemental birds, though. 

"You're taking this form?" I reached out my arm so Jade could hop on it.
