There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 215: Double Happiness (4)

Chapter 215: Double Happiness (4)

"Thank you for the comfortable bed and sturdy roof, huh?" Luis uttered as they were walking. Their destination is unknown because he himself was in a daze. Rean and Olyn were silent, with a low sniffing sound in the background.

They look like an idiot because they were laughing and jolly a few minutes ago, yet now they look like an emotional wreck. No, they are indeed an emotional wreck. All because of the touching thank you of an innocent child.

"Nine and the other kids did not have it easy before they arrived here. Before and after we all met and formed a group in the wilderness, they suffered great difficulties because of the foreign land they entered. Hunger, illness, dehydration, and homelessness, they experienced all that." Xagrien suddenly spoke from Luis’ side. His tone was somber but full of unsaid emotions.

"But they did not whine or complain that it was unfair. They patiently worked to make their condition better. They are all resilient children. They are very understanding for their tender age. Very mature. Actually, even when we are caught in a very frustrating situation, they are the first ones to pull our spirits up. That is why we all agreed that we would never survive in the wilderness without those kids."

Luis turned to his lover and witnessed the emotions in his lover’s eyes. This is one of the few occasions where Xagrien spoke long sentences. "That is why thank you for improving the lives of those children."

Luis is oblivious that his eyes are getting moist as Xagrien talks about Nine and the other children. All he knows is that his throat is tightening, so he clears it before responding, "Ehem, Don’t you remember the time when I convinced you to come with me? I promised to treat them well. I-I am just completing my side of the agreement. It’s not a big deal."

At this moment, he knew he was on the verge of tearing up again. So he discreetly wiped the tiny moisture hanging on the side of his eyes and averted his sight away from Xagrien.

Rean and Olyn looked at the slim yet sturdy back of the Moon Elf Lord. The two of them knew that the effects of their lord’s actions and decisions, no matter how small it was, could not be belittled. They are life-changing, and they touch the fates of multiple people. However, they did not voice it out, for they knew that at that moment, there was someone who could rightly say those words.

Xagrien slipped his fingers into the relaxed hand of Luis, and he uttered meaningfully, "Okay, let’s just keep doing small, meaningful things."

He knew his beloved bearer tends to shy away from these compliments. Therefore, he didn’t dare to push more because he was confident that no matter what happened, he would continue to do his own thing.

In the night sky, the half of the silver moon was hanging high. It illuminates every part of the Woodrill Plains— even the residential district of the newly constructed Woodrill City. From afar, it could be seen that the moon elves are diligently packing up the remnants of the night’s festivities. But despite that, their faces were full of smiles, and it was evident that the excitement hadn’t subsided yet.

Luis and his subordinates look at this scenario as they are mounted on top of the trees. Their emotions finally calmed down, but the thoughts they only knew remained.

This time, he is not just with Rean and Olyn. Legland and Nicol are present, too, as they are reporting to the Moon Elf Lord about what happened throughout the event.

"Nothing major happened. Even the conflicts are surprisingly minimal, especially when the distribution of houses happened. They seemed to enjoy the novelty of the design of their homes, and they were aware that each of the materials was well selected. That is why no one dared to whine at all." Nicol commented after he told the Moon Elf Lord the details of the event.

Nicol’s face radiates happiness and fulfillment despite the hectic day. His body was tired, but his soul and mind were refreshed after finishing one project. At the tip of his tongue lies the words, "My Lord, when can we start building the major infrastructure after this?" However, he can never say those, given that today was supposedly a day when they should celebrate and be happy for their achievement.

The handsome head priest is showing early signs of work addiction.

"That is excellent news. Their houses are the product of everyone’s labor, so if they are discontent with it, they are treating our efforts as a joke," Luis answered. His eyes flash, remembering something. "Then how about the hunting grounds? Do the citizens have their complaints?" Luis followed up.

Hunting is still the staple food source for the moon elves; the same is true for the orcs. That is why Luis divided the lands around the Woodrill Plains to be the hunting territory for the fourteen clans.

As for the Shane Greenwoods, Luis plans that place to be the fruit and herbal orchard for Woodrill Plains.

"There are some who have concerns, but it is handled well by their respective patriarchs."

Luis didn’t bother to ask the head priest to cite the clans of those who complained. It was natural to have opinions about rules and laws as they may indirectly and directly influence one’s interest. He is not a paranoid leader. Besides, their ability to express their opinion only shows that they are wiser now compared to the "yes men" of the previous Moon Elf Lords.

"My Lord, if you don’t mind me asking, why did you look for my mate earlier? Are you feeling unwell?" Legland asked, worry evident from his red eyes. His golden blonde hair is waving due to the evening breeze.

Luis looked at the handsome hottie with killer biceps; his face was blank, and lips parted— the very expression speechless. "Isn’t it ironic to ask that when Rean is right beside you?"

"But, My Lord, this is your personal matter, so it is best if the answers would come from your lips."

This time, Xagrien laughed a very happy laugh from the background.

Luis pursed his lips and murmured in his head, ’What a showoff.’

In reality, it was him who was pretentious. Luis tries his best to hide that his heart feels ticklish whenever Xagrien acts like a proud dad.

He swears. If they are in the modern times where social media is a thing, Xagrien would surely post on every site that he is now a confirmed father-to-be.

Luis turned to look at his ridiculous lover. He looks like a pompous guard dog or a preschooler who boasts his new toy car. Luis wanted to plant his face on his palms, but he must admit, this is another kind of cuteness. Therefore, he let his eyes stay and watched this once-in-a-blue-moon action of his beloved male god.

"We tested for the second time and just confirmed that we are pregnant," serious-faced Xagrien boasted loudly. While proudly showing the pebble-sized Eclipsed Moon Stone.

It was white, which made Legland and Nicol confused at first. Under Luis’ permission, Rean stepped forward to explain the entire situation.

The two males don’t know how they should react, but everyone else but them can see the joy reflected in their eyes.

"It was well-deserved, My Lord." Nicol looked proud— a little less proud than Xagrien.

’So this is the reason why the Moon Elf Lord thanked me,’ Nicol silently nodded in his head. It brings him joy that he helped untangle the emotional knot his lord was suffering from. It gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

’Just like when we finished everyone’s home.’

Legland was also happy and, above all, excited. He keeps on looking at Rean, who is standing on his side. Maybe... just maybe... they can score another child.

After a short daze, Legland turned to Luis and asked, "My Lord, do you want to let everyone know about your special pregnancy?"

Luis was silent for a moment, quietly weighing down his options. While it is established that he is pregnant with multiple squirts, a part of him wants to keep it silent.

"No, they already know that I am pregnant anyway. Besides, them knowing that I could have twins doesn’t mean everyone could, too," Luis simply answered.

No one questioned Luis’ decision, even the excited future daddy. At this point, he is still unaware of the minor trouble that may come their way.

They all talked about light topics, and Rean did not hold back in giving out pregnancy pointers. Rean and Olyn said some pregnancy myths, such as pregnancy dreams. Back in his home country, a conception dream was said to foretell the birth of a baby. But in the moon elves’ version, pregnancy dreams happen even after the pregnancy is confirmed, and it was said to foretell something about the elemental power of their child.

"My mother said he dreamed of a shaking boulder when he had me," Olyn added to his story.

Luis thought that it was a very interesting myth, so he wondered what their children could be.

Xagrien was a half-dragon hottie, and Luis was a reincarnated moon elf lord with two power systems. They could make a fascinating mix.
