Chapter 183: Hope And Future (1)
Author’s Note: I changed the book cover. It is a commissioned art that I asked a wonderful artist to work on. I hope you all like it!
The cat is out of the bag. Luis turned his head to see his beloved people looking at him- or them, to be more precise, with disbelief in their eyes. His dark green orbs landed on Legland and Nicol, who looked like a dirt-covered neglected child. Their reaction is not better than those who are basically clueless about their lord’s love life. Instead, they are the ones who look like frightened and dirty owls!
But their popping eyes are no longer his concern. There is a bigger problem that he is facing now. Hundreds of his subordinates are looking at him, desperate for answers!
He suddenly felt a headache. How come he didn’t notice them ahead of time?
It is simple. Luis was flustered earlier because Xagrien was angry at him, and his male god of a lover did his best to distract him.
Coincidence or a deliberate act of his lover, Luis is not in the proper composure to even consider those. Shame slowly started to kick in, but it was still bearable.
Luis felt thirsty, so he consciously cleared his throat.
His guttural sound snapped everyone out of their shock.
"My Lord, I am sorry if I am somewhat overstepping my boundary as your subordinate, but can I confirm the truth? Is it true that you are pregnant?" Hylolas, the most well-behaved patriarch among the representatives of the Tribunal, politely stepped forward to speak for everyone’s thoughts. "Is Master Xagrien your mate?"
The other patriarch is in a state of utter shock, especially the patriarch of the Ris Clan. Nihil just wanted to deny what they accidentally heard earlier. He is making his first step to connect their clan with the Moon El Lord through mating, but someone already beat him to it, and it is a former rogue on top of that!
He must have heard it wrong, right?
But the response of the Moon Elf Lord completely shattered his hopeless assumptions.
"Yes, he is indeed my mate now, but-," Luis tried to answer his subordinate quickly, but the man on his side overpowered him with a short and decisive "Yes, we are pregnant."
Luis reacted like a chili pepper was shoved in his back door, "What the hell, Xagrien? We just had sex less than two days ago! It is not that quick to conceive a..."
The Moon Elf Lord’s words gradually vanished. His face became redder and redder by the minute.
’Holy shit.’
Silence once again dawned upon the ruins of the previous battle. The Moon Elves and Orcs alike found it hard to make any noise. They all think they just heard a "very private" information about their Moon Elf Lord when they just wanted to get a yes or no confirmation.
It was like they ordered an ala carte, but they were shoved with a tableful of food down to their throats.
Should they say, "Congratulations, My Lord?"
"So they consummate their mating relationship during..." Nicol innocently murmured.
Of course, Luis knows the words that come after that. All his cells scream panic just by thinking his subordinates would assume he is a bitch that does "that" anywhere and everywhere!
Fine! He did it in a place that lacked privacy, but he would die if he admitted that!
"We did that in a "very" secure place far from you, guys!"
Right after he said that, Luis instinctively bit his lips. The heat intensified around his face area, giving him a deeper shade of blush, which he definitely didn’t need in this situation.
"You are giving away too much information, My Lord," Xagrien whispered in the shell of his ear.
Luis gritted his teeth. Well, who is the reason behind this in the first place? Damn it!
Xagrien used this opportunity to declare his stance as the Moon Elf Lord’s mate, so he pulled his bearer to his chest.
The Moon Elf Lord cannot find himself at peace after this humiliating introduction. This went far beyond his imagination! He wanted to do it in a celebrating atmosphere, not during the messy after-party!
It’s all done because of this brute! Luis buried his head in the man’s chest and secretly bit Xagrien’s skin through his shirt.
The oblivious lovers once again fed dog food to the innocent inhabitants of Amber Forest. They just stood speechlessly as the two were trapped in their flowery world.
There is no means of saving them, so they just busied themselves by thinking if there are any other couples who are as passionate as their Moon Elf Lord and his mate. But the result was none.
Meanwhile, the perceptive Nicol saw that the Moon Elf Lord was on the verge of melting due to shame, so he reasonably stepped up for Luis’ assistance.
"I think the Moon Elf Lord’s energy was exhausted. The effects of wine may be starting to kick in. Let’s call it a night. Tomorrow is also a work day, so let’s all get a good night of sleep," he declared. The crowd doesn’t have much choice after seeing the flustered face of their lord.
Hence, they all agreed. In the meantime, they just uttered "Congratulations" as general and silently swore that they would provide the best gift for the Moon Elf Lord and his unborn child.
Yes, they already claimed that their Lord is pregnant. Having a child at this time when the birth rate is constantly in a downward trend is already a blessing from the Moon Goddess. Make it that their Lord is pregnant, and their joy and expectations reach new heights!
But that is not the case for everyone. Nihil left the scene with apprehension and settled in his tent.
He doesn’t have the energy to even look at his youngest son or look for trouble with his eldest, who is currently by the side of the Moon Elf Lord.
However, his anger and disappointment rage in his chest like Nicol’s violent fire grazed the ground earlier.
"How dare that rogue! He is sullying the majestic body of the Moon Elf Lord with his blood!" He summoned his orange flame and threw it on the table nearby. It immediately caught fire but didn’t quickly burn it, unlike the fire of his eldest son, whom he hated.
Karthena, his deputy, spoke from the outside of his tent. "Patriarch, a word, please."
"Come in," Nihil spoke in a repressed breath. "What is it?"
"Please do not lose your cool, yet this is just a minor setback."
Karthena moved to the table and collected the fire with a wave of his hand. It stopped the wooden table from being totally burned, but it is still a mess after being licked by a moon elf’s fire.
"How is it possible that someone who doesn’t have a root in Immortal Glade became the Moon Elf Lord’s mate? We, from the Ris Clan, is the perfect candidate since we also possess the superior blood from the previous lord! Just imagine the outcome once the blood of the previous and present lord mixed. It will surely create powerful offspring that will stand on top of normal moon elves!"
Nihil walked to and fro inside his tent. He didn’t mind if he bumped against his things. His mind is frantically turning to come up with a calculation he could do to bring the Moon Elf Lord to his side for the sake of their clan’s standing among the moon elf race.
"Don’t rush things, patriarch. We can also use the method used by that young man from the wilderness. First, Let’s familiarize Fireal with the Moon Elf Lord and slowly gain his favor. Forcing things will only do the opposite. Our Moon Elf Lord acts like a free spirit after all."
"But how are we going to do that? The Moon Elf Lord said he is already mated to that wild mutt?" Nihil looked at his deputy with a critical look in his eyes. "Moon elves aspire to have one mate in their lifetime. Just like what you said, we can force it."
"Patriarch, do you remember the legacy that Lord Flamion left us? Moon Elf Lords are the rules themselves. Nobody can stop our new lord if he wants it himself."
A flash of clarity resurfaced on the old and cunning eyes of Nihil. ’Absolutely! Nothing is a crowd for the Moon Elf Lord!’
That is also the thoughts of Ali after he cleared his mind by beating up one of his people in the Isan Clan. He must admit that he is caught off guard when the Moon Elf Lord declares he is with that young four-star warrior. He initially thought that maybe they wanted to keep it a secret for the time, which is suitable for his plan’s progression. But he was wrong.
"Well, I still have one prop that I can use. I will fight for my way towards the Moon Elf Lord’s bed, but that doesn’t mean I will do that fairly."
Ali’s silver eyes flashed malice as he thought of that.
A low groan of his warrior sounded from below him. "Oh, you are still conscious? Now faint for me."
His heavy foot stumped on the male’s abdomen. The warrior from Isan Clan groaned for the last time before he drifted unconscious.
A night of celebration that is full of joy and revelation. No one is aware that the things that happen during this time will usher in massive events and changes in the following months and years.
In the future, this eventful night was recorded in many versions by historians, and the artists would draw the scenes of tonight’s drunken incidents from multiple angles.
But that is none of Luis’ concern because he currently expresses his (fake) anger to his lover.
