- a few days later.
Taufik is seen leaning against a tree and accompanied by Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka.
A few days ago, after Taufik discussed with the kingdom's "Higher-ups", Taufik immediately told Gaia the results, even though the majority had agreed, but Taufik also did not force his plan on Gaia, so Taufik gave Gaia time to consider the matter, because after all, Gaia was the Goddess of the Earth, she could not just immediately agree to Taufik's plan which would clearly cause great damage to the Earth.
"Fik..."
"Hm? What's wrong, Lembu?"
"... Regarding the attack that will occur in the near future, will you participate fully? I mean, are you going to intervene directly?"
"... Of course not, I am A king after all, so I'll just do what a King should do"
"But... "
"What? Are you worried that our troops and our Magician won't be able to fight back?" Continue your journey on m|v-l'e -NovelFire.net
"... They're strong... But I'm afraid our numbers aren't that many; after all, this kingdom has only been established for five years... And the number of troops we have isn't that many, the number of regular troops is only hundreds more, and only a few of them have mastered Aura, and that's still in the early stages; our Magician troops are indeed strong, but they only number in the tens... If our enemy has thousands, or even more... wouldn't we be doomed?"
Hearing what Lembuswana said, Taufik, who was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, enjoying the sound of the leaves rustling because they were fooled by the wind and with Nāgāntaka in her small size resting on his lap, could only smile thinly.
"... You don't have to worry, Even without our intervention, everything will be fine"
"How so?"
"This is just my feeling, but it seems like we will meet Tina later, and did you forget? If it's just in terms of numbers, I have someone who fits"
"We do? Who?"
Asked Lembuswana, and once again, still in the same position, Taufik just smiled faintly and then said.
"... Kl'lara, come out!"
*Crack!*
A crack then appeared in front of them, and soon someone came out of the crack.
"...
*Hoamm~*
My lord, Your servant responded to your call, what should I do..
.*Hoaamm~*
"
The person was Kl'lara, the Spirit of Death, or so it would have been if it weren't for the fact that right now, the Spirit of Death in question was wearing a love-patterned nightgown while hugging a pillow.
"..."
"..."
"Oh~ Lembu is also here~ and is that Nāgāntaka in your lap, My Lord?"
"...
*Sigh*
I will not ask why you dressing like that... Kl'lara, we have an urgent mat-"
"My lord, now I remember it, I forgot to close my door, so excuse me, I'll be back later"
Said Kl'lara who then reopened the crack leading to the spirit realm and wanted to enter it, but...
*BUKK!!*
*AUCHH!!*
"I see, after not seeing each other for a while, you're starting to get brave, huh? What did you say just now?"
Said Taufik who looked at Kl'lara with a smile, which was definitely not because he was happy or anything else, while gripping his fist tightly,
"A- Ah~ N-Now I remember, I actually didn't have a door, ah- ahaha~...
Said Kl'lara while rubbing the back of her head and awkwardly averting her gaze from Taufik. But then suddenly knelt down towards Taufik while saying in a loud voice.
... MY LORD! PLEASE FORGIVE THIS SARVENT OF YOURS!!"
"... No~ Thank you~ There's always a punishment for someone who doesn't obey, you know?"
"... At least make it quick and try not to make it too painful, My Lord"
"Sure"
Taufik answered, then covered his hands with Mana, which only made Kl'lara tremble in fear.
"... P- Please, have mercy, My Lor-"
*SLAP!!*
- A few "slap in the butt" later.
After giving "Punishment" to Kl'lara, Taufik leaned back against the tree, while Kl'lara was in a pitiful position with tears coming out of her eyes because of the pain she felt in her hips.
"... Stand up, Kl'lara!"
"I- I'm afraid I can't, My Lord"
"... So, stay in that position while I explain why I called you"
"Y- Yes, My Lord"
"... I need your skeleton to assist this kingdom in the upcoming attack, As before, I want you to protect the common people, and also take part in battle"
"Only that, My Lord?"
Kl'lara asked, and, hearing that, Taufik was silent for a moment before saying.
"No, I'm afraid you have to stay on this Island for a long time in the future"
"... Yes, My lord?"
"Nothing, let's Talk about that when the time is coming"
Said Taufik, and Kl'lara could only nod her head silently.
Then suddenly, a Maid ran towards them with a worried face.
"YOUR MAJESTY, THERE'S A PROBLEM!!"
"What? Have we been attacked?"
"No! Her Majesty, She collapsed!"
--------------
After hearing the news that Gaia had fainted, Taufik, Lembuswana, Nāgāntaka, and also Kl'lara, who had changed clothes, immediately rushed to their room.
Arriving there, Taufik saw Gaia accompanied by Giselle, but fortunately, Taufik saw that Gaia was fine and had regained consciousness.
"Gaia, Are you okay?"
"Honey... I'm fine, sorry for making you worry"
Hearing that, Taufik sighed and then sat on the bed right next to Gaia.
"... What happens?"
"I don't know, While discussing strategy with Sir Axel and the others, I suddenly felt like I lost my strength, like something inside me changed"
"
*Sigh*
I already said that you can leave that to me; you don't have to push yourself like th-...
Said Taufik who then stopped when he touched Gaia's hand, then suddenly his expression changed.
... Ohh"
Taufik's hand immediately moved from Gaia's hand to her stomach.
"... Oh- oh"
To make sure more clearly, Taufik used his All-Seeing eyes and looked at Gaia's stomach.
"Oh, boy!"
"What is it, kid? What happens? Don't keep it to yourself like that"
Said Lembuswana who was starting to feel a little disturbed by Taufik's behavior.
Hearing this, Taufik was silent for a while, before finally looking at everyone in the room.
"... It seems Gaia is pregnant"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Taufik said it was like dropping a bomb, which exploded but did not produce an explosive sound, but only an impact.
"Yes, what? Her Majesty is what?" Ask Giselle.
"... She is pregnant"
"I'm What?"
"You're pregnant, Gaia, Pregnant!"
"..."
Hearing that, Gaia could only remain silent while staring at Taufik, wanting to make sure that she had not heard wrong, and not long after, tears began to fall down her cheeks.
Gaia looked away from Taufik and looked at her stomach, then stroked it gently.
"Ahaha~ I am pregnant"
Gaia said softly and then looked back at Taufik.
"I am pregnant, Honey~"
Gaia said once again, and then immediately hugged Taufik.
"Can you believe that? I am pregnant, Ahaha~ This is the happiest day in my life... It's all thanks to you, honey, I love you~"
Said Gaia, and Taufik could only hug Gaia back, feeling happy but also feeling a little bit complicated; Taufik turned to Lembuswana, who shook his head; seeing that, Taufik seemed to understand what Lembuswana was trying to convey.
'... You're in a big-big-big problem, kid, you know that...'
--------------
Morning meets noon, and noon is replaced by evening, and from evening it continues until night, but there is still no visible movement.
The news about Gaia's pregnancy is currently still a secret, and Giselle is the only outsider who knows about the news; they will announce it when the situation has calmed down.
Taufik is currently on the balcony, looking at the sea view bathed in moonlight while enjoying a cup of coffee.
With Gaia's pregnancy, Taufik's heart became even heavier, but no matter what, the time limit in this timeline was only a maximum of five years, and Gaia already knew this, but that was what made Taufik's heart even heavier to leave her.
"... Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
*Sigh*
What a drag~"
Said Taufik, who then looked at Gaia, who was on the bed; maybe because she was tired, she was fast asleep with a smile on her face, seeing this, Taufik could only smile.
"Well, as long as everyone is happy, everything will work out I guess"
Said Taufik, who then went back to sipping his coffee, but he suddenly felt a strange feeling.
'... What's with this strange feeling, someone seems to be watching me...'
Taufik closed his eyes and blamed his detection skill, but there was nothing strange, he opened his eyes again, and his All-Seeing Eye was active.
Taufik immediately looked around him, but just like before, he didn't find anything at all, but when his eyes fell on the sea, Taufik was a little surprised.
"... Shit"
Said Taufik, looking at the line of fleets lined up on the horizon and covered with an invisible illusion with his All-Seeing eyes.
"... Damn, they tried to attack at night, looking at their distance, they will be here in a few hours"
Without waking Gaia, Taufik quickly went to the big tree to tell Nāgāntaka to gather everyone.
"Nāgāntaka, The enemy is here, go gather everyone as fast as possible!!"
