CH 92

‘Could it be a male?’

It was sufficient that Celia gave birth to a son with him. Aside from that, he was Leonis, who had no plans to accept any living beings besides humans.

“I’m thinking of another method.”

Leonis said as he perched on the edge of the bed. When Celia looked at Leonis, her eyes became much larger.

“What is it?”

“…… Did you know that when my wife reaches climax, you emits a powerful aura?”

While holding Celia’s wrist, Leonis approached and said. Celia’s face got red at his sudden remark.

“I-I know that, but it’s…….”

As she gazed upon Leonis with eyes that were filled with disbelief, he flashed a mischievous grin.

“I hope so. If madam reaches climax with me several times, won’t we be able to help hatch the egg of divine beast?”

For a second, it looked like her head went white. Even though it is a novel is rated 19!

“I-It was too much!”

Do we do it in a place where there is a sacred being, like an egg of a divine beast? Of course, with each peak of pleasure, Celia sensed the curse that had been placed upon Leonis gradually receding.

“I thought we could narrow down our sex by pulling out the curse.”

It wasn’t until the day the curse was finally lifted that Leonis and Celia were overwhelmed with an intoxicating sense of joy and did it quite a bit. Celia suddenly looked at the divine beast’s egg.

Come to think of it, the egg’s movement became quite intense after that day……?

‘Oh, I don’t think so! No way…… it’s ridiculous!’

Celia merrily shook her head and tried to shake off her thoughts. Leonis, who was clinging to her side, was smiling at Celia.

“But by the eggs of the divine beast…….”

“What does it matter, it’s only the species are different?”

Celia wasn’t the only one who was instantly flabbergasted by Leonis’ outrageous offer. The egg of the divine beast understood what it meant and immediately began violently shaking from side to side.

Clatter clatter!

“See, he’s agreed.”

Leonis was adamant despite the contrary thoughts that she was having. Celia looked at the egg with a worried expression as she examined it.

The egg was swaying violently, back and forth, left and right, as if it had a fever. It was so angry that it looked like it was about to burst out of the egg.

‘Is that right? Isn’t it?’

The egg, however, spun once before settling down as if it had overexerted itself given its relatively small body size. Celia felt apprehension toward both the divine beast egg and Leonis as she observed them.

“Even if it isn’t……”

Leonis cocked her head and pecked Celia on the lips.

“You can have a good time with me. Do I need an excuse to make love with my wife?”

Celia couldn’t even breathe deeply as he pressed his lips against hers. It did not necessarily require a reason to make love to Leonis.

“I-It’s not……”

“Well, that’s not it, but…….”

“Let’s test it out then.”

As soon as he whispered, Leonis’ hot lips covered hers. Celia, who had been lying on the bed, became shy. Resting atop the soft sheets lay an egg of divine egg.

“Heum, Eung….., Uhm!”

Leonis’s hand slowly trailed along her unkempt hem. Leonis took a deep breath, and his voice barely above a whisper, sensing her reluctance.

“You can keep that by your bed.”

On one side of the bed was a basket that once held the divine beast’s egg. Leonis deftly swathed the divine beast egg in a soft cloth, carefully tucking it away in a basket, and carefully moved it towards the top of the bed.

Because Leonis’ bed was so spacious, it seemed like it would be okay to move it far away. But on the other hand, she wondered if it would be okay to continue like this.

‘What if this is blasphemy? If the god of heaven gets angry and punishes again…….!’

Celia, who was reticent, tried to stop Leonis, but his slippery kiss made her reason disappear.

Amelia couldn’t sleep because anxiety kept her awake all night long. She’d heard Lucy had escaped, but it didn’t seem like she’d be relieved until she heard she was safe.

She returned to the maid several times after that and asked how Lucy had escaped, but the maid could only tell her bits and pieces of the story.

The story claims that the locks on the doors had been broken into and that nobody saw Lucy leaving with a suspicious-looking man.

‘Is it true that Lucy ran away?If Brother Phil gave the order to kill her in a fit of rage and told them to lie about it……’

It was something Amelia impossible to confirm. She wanted to visit Phil and ask him about it even if she was beaten, but he is currently being held in an underground prison.

Shocked by the news, the Third Empress said she had collapsed and still couldn’t get up.

Phil wouldn’t be nice if she went to the dungeon and asked about Lucy’s business. He could have lied to Amelia instead of teaching her the truth to make her suffer.

‘Who is left?’

Michael and Giel.

Both of them had no interest in Amelia. Amelia received little attention from their mother for her abilities, but the two of them couldn’t care less about Amelia.

Giel, in particular, seemed to think that because of Amelia’s status, she should be treated like a servant or a maid. On the other hand, Michael……

‘He told me that the Duchess of Cardian wanted to invite me.’

He remembered Michael’s expression as he delivered the words. It was an expression that gave the impression that she might be of some use at certain points in time.

‘Will he help me?’

Giel might consider Amelia worthless, but Michael would think otherwise. He might have thought of her as bait to deceive the Duchess of Cardian, as the third empress or Phil did.

Or perhaps he thought it would be fine to help her acquaintance with the Duchess of Cardian.

‘Okay. I should get help from Michael!’

Since Lucy was no longer in Phil’s hands, there was no reason to look at him. Amelia, who had already made up her mind, slipped stealthily into the backyard of the concubine while ignoring the maids and servants who were there.

They looked disgruntled, but she couldn’t help it.

Even if Amelia was half-blood, it was obvious that she had inherited the Emperor’s blood.

As she walked into the second Prince’s Palace through the garden, soldiers and maids standing on the path showed how chaotic the place was.

They were huddled together and whispering, and they couldn’t stay where they were. When she was noticed by a superior and reprimanded, or when she ran into a high-ranking person, she ran away quickly.

Amelia was also a high-status person, but when the opponent was Amelia, the main reaction was that she was surprised for no apparent reason.

“What brings you back here, Princess?”

Asked the soldier in an irreverent voice. He seemed to know her purpose at a glance.

Amelia put on a rude face when she thought about how the maid had told her to act like she didn’t know Lucy had gone.

“You know why, don’t you? I came to see Lucy.”

“You knows that His Highness did not allow it. Please return.”

The soldier expressed his displeasure. She wasn’t in a good mood with him, and since she knew Lucy wouldn’t be there, Amelia obediently proceeded to the second Prince’s palace entrance. 

The soldier who had escorted her left the Second Imperial Palace. The only thing that was still there were the guards at the entrance.

Amelia gave them a quick glance before continuing toward the First Imperial Palace, her destination.

The First Imperial Palace was bigger and more magnificent than the other two. She had heard that the crown prince had his own palace, but this was usually the case when the eldest son became the crown prince.

Finding the entrance took a long time because the interior was so large that it seemed enormous.

Amelia was ecstatic after discovering the First Prince’s Palace entrance and learning that he had a guest who had arrived first.

‘That’s… Giel.’

Giel had stabbed his brother with a sword, but it looked like the emperor had let him go before he finished his one-month probation. Michael knew it wasn’t fair to his party, but he couldn’t bring himself to tell the emperor.

Instead, Michael’s supporters petitioned the emperor and stated he was moderately ignoring him.

‘But why he is here?’

According to rumors, Giel was inebriated when he committed these atrocities. Amelia couldn’t help but wonder if Giel had been drinking again, so she moved closer to him.

Giel was arguing with the gatekeeper of the first prince’s palace. Amelia knew the situation was getting worse when she saw the knights of the imperial palace rush out behind the gatekeeper.

“… … I just want to apologize to my brother!”

“I understand your Highness’ intention, but we are from the first emperor’s palace. Prince Michael, who is the current owner of the First Prince’s palace, has given the order that no one may enter.”

It’s probably Michael’s pride that it’s ‘no one’ instead of Giel. If Michael chose Giel alone and told the guards to keep him out of the building, this could give the impression that he is afraid of Giel.

However, Giel was not released from the emperor after receiving a probation order, so he could not recklessly push in.

“Your Highness, the Prince. This is humiliating.”

The knights of the first prince’s palace wrapped Giel into a crescent shape.. Giel glared at them with a ferocious face.

For example, ‘If Giel pushes back into the first prince’s palace, he will not hold him accountable even if he cuts me down’.

Giel was clearly a competent swordsman, but he wasn’t even close to being a master. On the other hand, Michael had a lot of people who were good with swords.

Because of this incident, Giel may have received a sword master-class knight from the emperor.

Giel returned his gaze to the eight knights who were looking at him with resentment. He couldn’t help but feel like it was unfair because Giel was the one who tried to get Vivian any way he could.

‘I’m sure Michael is hurting Vivian, but I can’t go in!!’

When he thought about Vivian lying there as if dying, he felt his blood rush backward. He had to save Vivian, but he couldn’t figure out how.
