Chapter 1066 Things Just Got A Bit Complicated
Lux lay on the grass and looked up at the clouds, watching them slowly pass in the sky.
It had been a while since he had done something like this due to how busy he had been for the past few months of his life.
Things were happening one after the other, and he didn't really have the time to take it easy.
After things passed and he wasn't doing anything, he mostly spent his time with his lovers, strengthening the bonds they shared together.
He never had any alone time with just himself.
He didn't have the leisure to become carefree and not mind the things happening around him.
The only reason why he was finally alone now was because he escaped from his Grandma's house.
Adeline wanted to know more things about Lux, and Vera was more than happy to tell his mother everything that had happened since he was a baby.
Of course, his Grandma didn't hold back a bit and also told his mother and Aurora about his embarrassing moments.
Knowing that he was powerless to stop it, Lux fled the house. The giggles of the ladies, as well as their affectionate gazes, made his cheeks burn in embarrassment.
"I miss Eiko," Lux muttered as he closed his eyes. "I just hope she's not throwing nukes wherever she may be."

Somewhere in the Ford Federation...
"Achoo!"
Eiko sneezed, and Fei Fei wiped her nose with the table napkin beside them.
Currently, the two Baby Slimes were eating in the dining hall of the battleship, Poseidon.
The Boom Boom Pirate Crew had successfully subjugated all oppositions and was now dealing with the aftermath of their conquest.
Captain Jack Spawow had become the Baby Slime's representative. Now, the Pirate Captain was hard at work, reforming the laws of the Ford Federation to ensure that all of the citizens would be able to live comfortable lives that were free from oppression.
The members of the Great Families and the Prestigious Families were forced to sign a Soul Contract, preventing them from committing rebellion and hampering the growth of the Ford Federation.
Most of their treasures were seized, and they were only left with enough gold to sustain themselves for a year.
If they wanted to survive, they would have to work hard like the rest of the citizens and contribute to the prosperity of the Federation.
Now that she had gained the power to protect herself, Eiko was thinking of doing the one thing that she had long wanted to do.
However, she decided to put this on hold for a few more days, until the territories that were now under her command stabilized.
For the time being, she just munched on some cookies while looking at the Map of the Seven Seas laid on top of the table.
The Ford Federation was only one of the major powers within the vastness of the open sea.
There were still other Factions stronger than it. As for those with the same level of strength, they were currently holding a high-level meeting due to the reports from their spies in the Federation.
Although none of them believed it at first, it became hard to ignore when the reports of the spies from the other Factions were saying the same thing.
Since that was the case, it only meant one thing.
All of them were telling the truth!
And this truth was something that none of these powerful factions had expected to happen to one of their rivals in the Seven Seas.
For the time being, they were trying to understand if the Pirate Princess of the Boom Boom Pirate Crew had the intention to cross into their Domain and expand her territory.
If that were the case, they would have no choice but to ready their fleets to fight in a battle that would be written in the history books for years to come.

Back in Solais...
Lux, who missed his Baby Slime, sighed in his heart.
"Kids grow up so fast nowadays," Lux muttered. "I wonder... are Valerie and Aurelia already pregnant with my child?"
Among his lovers, the only time he took the ring called, Everlasting, off of his hand was when he made love to the two Dragon Princesses.n/(OVelbIn
Although he felt guilty for not letting Iris and Cai give birth to his children first, he also knew that the fate of Solais wasn't secure at the moment.
Perhaps the reason why he allowed Valerie and Aurelia to have the chance to give birth to his children was because both of them belonged to the two most powerful Kingdoms in Elysium.
Unlike Solais, which was on the verge of destruction, Elysium was more stable.
He would not have to worry that his children might grow up in a world that was about to disappear in a few years.
Of course, Lux would do his best to prevent this from happening.
But finding the Pillars of Eternity wasn't an easy thing to accomplish.
(A/N: Pssst! Your daughter already has one!)
'Still, they also mentioned that Dragons don't give birth easily,' Lux thought. 'This is why their numbers aren't that many. Also, can they give birth to my child even though I'm a Half-Elf?'
Lux pondered for a bit before scratching his head.
'I have dragon blood in my body, and my body constitution is called Immortal Dragon Conqueror's Legacy,' Lux mused. 'That should be enough to give them a chance to become pregnant, right?'
Technically, even if Dragons mated with humans in their humanoid forms, that didn't guarantee any chances of offspring.
Their races were simply too different, and Dragons were born from eggs.
While Lux thought about these things, another question came to his mind.
'So... will Valerie and Aurelia give birth to eggs first?' Lux thought. 'Then those eggs will need to be hatched before my kids can appear in this world. I wonder if they will return to their Dragon Forms when they are about to give birth... things just got a bit complicated.'
Lux scratched his head. The more he thought in this direction, the more he realized that he had completely forgotten that his Draconic Lovers were only taking human forms.
'I guess I should ask them more about this when I bring Mother to the Guild Headquarters.' Lux sighed.
In the end, he decided to talk to his Dragon lovers in private and ask them a few things that he hadn't thought about in the past.
When Ari heard his questions, she only chuckled and even asked Lux if he wanted to see her Dragon Form the next time they met.
The Half-Elf readily agreed to Ari's proposal.
Valerie, Aurelia, and Ali, on the other hand, were quite happy that Lux was finally trying to know their race seriously.
When he asked them if it was possible for them to really get pregnant with his seed, all four of them said yes in a heartbeat.
"Lux, we would not really consider you a lover if you didn't have the ability to make us conceive your child," Aurelia said in a serious tone. "The mere fact that we hold attraction to you is enough proof that you have what it takes to get us pregnant.
"Although you might not know this, we can sense Dragon Blood inside your body. It's not ordinary Dragon Blood, but a very powerful one. Also, your body could also transform into a dragon if you truly wished for it. This is a fact."
"Aurelia is right, Lux," Valerie commented. "Dragons can only be attracted to a fellow dragon. Although you are indeed a Half-Elf, you seem to have a Dragon's Constitution. If I think about it rationally, this is completely unheard of. Are you sure you are really a Half-Elf?"
"I am," Lux replied. "But it's true that I'm not an ordinary Half-Elf. You see, I ingested Dragon's Blood in the past."
Lux explained what had happened inside Keoza's dungeon in the past, letting his lovers know something that they didn't know before.
Aurelia, on the other hand, listened to his words seriously.
She remained quiet from start to finish as if she was deep in thoughts.
"When will you go to the Guild Headquarters?" Ari asked. "I want to see mother-in-law already."
"Soon," Lux replied. "We'll be there after I introduce Mother to my stepfather, Iris, and Cai. At the latest, we'll be back in a week or two."
"That's fine," Valerie commented. "Father and mother will not let me leave soon. Waiting a week or two is better. Also, I can use the excuse of talking to Aurelia in order to strengthen the ties of both our kingdoms as a diplomatic visit. I'm sure I will get their permission if I say that."
"Good," Lux said softly. "I missed all of you, and I want to see you girls soon."
Right at that moment, a seductive beauty landed beside Lux and laid on top of him before giving him a kiss on the lips.
"Grandma Vera has prepared lunch," Aurora said. "Time to go back."
"Okay," Lux replied.
He didn't notice how much time had passed because he was enjoying his talk with his lovers.
But he also wanted to spend time with his grandma and mother, so he bid his Dragon Lovers goodbye for now and headed home where his family was waiting for him.
