Chapter 393: Is She Pregnant?
“He made his choice. What he cares about most is his own son. Power and beauties have to take a backseat.” Sang Luo wasn’t surprised.
“You don’t want the King of Arans to remarry?” Minos asked.
“I don’t really care whether he remarries or not, but the child cried to me, so I have to get an explanation for my son.” Sang Luo put her hands behind her head, admiring the starry night sky, and said lazily, “I wanted to have a good talk with Duo Tu for a long time. This time, I can finally rest assured. He used the highest imperial decree to appoint Hephaestus as the sole heir. Even if he remarries and has new children in the future, it won’t affect my son’s inheritance rights.”
In the end, people are still selfish, especially as a mother, when it comes to children, she can’t avoid being mundane. Sang Luo hopes that her child can get the best, unless Little Sun doesn’t want to be the Beast King himself.
Minos nodded, “The King of Arans values Hephaestus very much.”
“Yes, so I don’t mind him remarrying, but Duo Tu doesn’t love that princess. The marriage is just a compromise under the weighing of pros and cons. This also can’t give Hephaestus a family atmosphere of love and care. In the future, it will only increase many conflicts and make my son even more unhappy. This marriage… it’s better not to get married!”
“So that’s how it is.”
“Are things on your side settled?”
“The engagement banquet is over, and there’s no need for blessings.” Minos shook his head and smiled.
“……That’s true.” Sang Luo got up and jumped lightly to the ground, as light and beautiful as a butterfly under the moon, “Then we should go back too.”
“Yeah.” Minos appeared beside her, looked up at the pure white marble sculpture, and commented objectively, “The carving skills are good. Does Luo Luo like this sculpture very much? One day, I will carve a holy statue for you in the Holy Palace, bigger than this one.”
“No, it’s enough to be embarrassed once! Anyway, my identity here is a dead person. I don’t want to be worshiped alive!”
……
Back at the Holy Palace.
Hephaestus and his two little angel siblings were playing with dirt in the sand dunes.
“Mother, we studied hard today! Brother Hephaestus taught us a very beautiful ancient poem!” Little Rose also recited the ancient poem, but it was a bit out of tune.
Sang Luo smiled and said, “Yes, combine work with rest. Play for a while when you are tired of studying.”
Little Apple touched his stomach, “Mother, Father, I’m hungry!”
Minos bent down and scooped him into his arms, “Let’s go eat first.”
After lunch, Minos took the two little angels to take a nap first, and Sang Luo left Hephaestus alone.
Hephaestus knew why his mother left him behind. He fiddled with his fingers, a little hesitant and uneasy, “Mother, Father…”
She touched his head, “You are in the most important position in your father’s heart. He knows you don’t want him to marry that princess, so he announced to the world that he has canceled the engagement.”
“Really, really?”
“Can mother still lie to you? If you don’t believe me, go back and see, your father is anxiously looking for you all over the world. The original engagement banquet has been postponed for more than half a month. Your Uncle Minos told your father in advance that you came to the Holy Palace, otherwise he would be anxious.”
Hephaestus didn’t expect that the matter of running away from home secretly was discovered. He lowered his head shyly. Sang Luo patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t keep things in your heart in the future. Discuss with mother and father. Don’t leave without saying goodbye again.
She said gently, “Mother and father love you very much, and uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters love you very much.”
Hephaestus held back his tears and nodded heavily, “Yeah! I’ll go back tomorrow!”
Seeing the smile on his face, Sang Luo felt relieved. She squatted down half-squatting and touched his face, smiling, “But having said that, your father will meet someone he likes sooner or later. You can’t really let him be single for the rest of his life. Mother’s baby Hephaestus will become a man of the world, and your father also has the right to pursue his own happiness.”
Hephaestus lowered his head and looked into Sang Luo’s eyes, shook his head, and said softly, “One day, if father really meets someone he likes, I won’t stop father from pursuing happiness. But father doesn’t like that princess. I don’t want him to be with the princess. Father won’t be happy.”
Sang Luo didn’t expect that even the child could see it, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Well, my son’s idea coincides with mine.”
“Mother, I’m also hungry.” Hephaestus touched his flat belly.
Sang Luo got up and took his hand towards the restaurant, “Today, mother will cook herself and make your favorite braised pork~!”
“Mother is so kind!” Hephaestus licked his lips, his mouth watering. He liked his mother’s cooking the most.
The next afternoon, Sang Luo personally sent Hephaestus back to the Palace of the King of Arans.
In one day, the banners, posters, and large screens in the city were all removed. Duo Tu saw his son, whom he hadn’t seen for almost a month, and hugged him excitedly and guiltily, saying several times that he would never marry another empire in the future.
After Duo Tu kept Sang Luo for dinner, she returned to the Holy Palace.
It was still early in the Sacred Realm. When Sang Luo returned to the sky, the two little angels were still playing with sand in the sand dunes in the garden.
Little Apple was still picking and placing those wooden sticks.
Sang Luo didn’t pay attention to it last time. She thought he just picked up some branches casually. This time, when she walked in, she realized that the slender golden wooden sticks were engraved with exquisite and complex divine patterns. There was a faint divine light flowing in the patterns, which was a special magic weapon.
“Does mother also want to play in the sand with us?” Little Rose said sweetly.
Sang Luo did not refuse this childish invitation and built a sand dune castle with the two children, and asked about the wooden sticks that Little Apple was holding.
Little Apple replied, “This is a magic weapon that Father gave me, saying that it can predict a person’s timeline and let me practice playing with it.”
“That’s quite interesting. Help mother predict a fortune and test whether it’s good or bad.” Sang Luo said casually, just to test the child’s learning results.
The biggest drawback of the time talent is that it cannot predict one’s own timeline.
“Okay!” Little Apple agreed readily, “But mother, I have never predicted the timeline for anyone before. The prediction results may be inaccurate.”
“It’s okay, just pretend to be predicting. Mother believes in you.”
Little Apple’s chubby little hands showed a light golden power of time, which turned into strands of energy threads, connecting to the wooden sticks scattered on the ground.
The wooden sticks flew in front of him, forming a floating hexagram.
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes, but his expression was a little strange, “Huh?”
“What’s wrong? Did you predict something bad?”
“No! Mother’s future is a good omen! Great luck is upon you! Everything goes smoothly! Everything is as you wish!” Little Apple scratched his head again and looked at her belly suspiciously, “Why do I see mother pregnant with a little baby?”
Just as Minos walked over and heard this, his eyebrows flew up, “Oh, are you going to have new younger siblings?”
He had been working hard these days.
He was filled with joy at having two such lovely and talented angel children, but when he thought that Sang Luo’s other beast husbands had four children, he couldn’t help but feel jealous and wanted to have another child.
Little Apple glanced at his father and poured a bucket of cold water, “The baby that mother is pregnant with is not father’s!”
