Continuation of the scene by the door

    Lia and Aelorus paused as the details inadvertently slipped out from their lips while they were angry. Knowing that they won''t be able to take it back, they simply went on with it. Aelorus clarified, "That guy is Luna''s first human husband. Well, he''s not human anymore since my daughter deified him so he can safely carry a mystique child with his body."

    Laerad silently digested the new information but he still looked at Lia, seemingly asking for further confirmation or maybe begging for her to tell him that it was not the truth. Lia planted his elbow on to Aelorus'' stomach which made him suddenly gasp in pain. She maintained her emotionless face as she said, "Everything this stupid man said is true. He''s about to give birth anytime soon. They''re having twins. If you want a fight or an argument, kindly delay it until the children have been born safely."

    Laerad could only absentmindedly nod at everything he heard. He then stood stiffly as he lifted his hands. The door that was previously thrashed to the ground was repaired, no evidence from being broken in any way. He used a time reversal spell on the door as he spoke, "Tell Luna that we need to talk. Tell her I will wait for her at the gazebo no matter how long it takes." He then suddenly disappeared via teleportation in a blink of an eye.

    Back in Luna''s personal office

    Ioannis and I talked about other things like where he will be staying after the children are born and his plans for the harem that he doesn''t have a choice but to manage as more men will be eventually be added to it. I was quite surprised as he was the one to start the subject and very calmly at that.

    I spoke seriously to him, "You understand that eventually, I will be taking in men from other races, right? My mission requires me not only to increase the population for my own bloodline but that of the other races as well. If they go extinct, I fail the task. I don''t want to know what the consequences of my failing will be. I might just die and turn to sparkles of light like my ancestors."

    Ioannis nodded his head and answered, "I perfectly understand your circumstances. That is why I helped you rope Lark in. It is better to chose people we will be adding to the family carefully. The most important thing though is you have to like them and they like you as well. As for their use to us, only time will tell." He then sighed heavily.

    I spoke of my circumstances nonchalantly as if I was not talking about my possible death but Ioannis looked at me and started crying out of nowhere. He then shouted suddenly, "Why do you have to curse yourself like that?! You can''t fail your mission! I am helping you as much as I can! Do you think it is easy to actually accept men that I have to share you with? You can''t leave me and the twins behind! Believe me if I tell you that if you disappear I will kill myself and the children too. We''ll eventually die without your protection anyways."

    Damn. What is with this dramatic outburst? Is he vying for best actor in a movie or something?

    I sighed and clarified, "I said, failing my mission may have consequences. I am not sure what they are but death is a possibility or maybe a huge debuff. Maybe I will become a mortal, who knows? I am not cursing myself to die. Calm down, will you?"

    He looked at me angrily and retorted, "I know that look. You are thinking I am being dramatic because I am pregnant. I am telling you even if I am not, I will react the same way so don''t you belittle my feelings about this."

    I stood up from my chair and walked quickly towards the soft chairs. I sat beside Ioannis and said, "Who is belittling your feelings? Do you think I want to die? Do you think I plan to fail and leave you and the children on your own?"

    He then looked at me with eyes that have gone a bit puffy and red. This time, his eyes are not showing anger but worry and fear. Eventually, he shook his head. I hugged the emotional guy until he calmed down.

    We stayed hugging each other for more than 10 minutes when he murmured, "I want to speak with Laerad too." I laughed a bit and said, "Playing a matchmaker role again?" He then scoffed, "Would you rather see me blocking every single man that approaches you like a lunatic and obsessive person?"

    I loosened my hug a bit and looked at Ioannis and responded, "I know you hide your jealousy quite well. As for being a bit crazy, I don''t mind. You have to be a bit crazy to keep up with being my man. As for being obsessive, just go ahead. I am your only wife acter all and you had me first so you have that right, I guess?"

    Ioannis looked at me as if I am saying something ridiculous, "I''d rather be obsessed with my children. I will be a pain if I am too obsessed with you and follow you everywhere like a stalker. SInce you will not abandon us, we''re all good. Go ahead and collect men. Make beautiful children with them. I am actually kind of excited how your children with those other men would look like. You''re beautiful, my wife. It would be a waste to only have few children when you can make the world a very beautiful place just by birthing to more beautiful beings."

    Ugh. Is this what a man who just described himself as "not crazy" and "not obsessed" will say about his own wife? I could only smile at Ioannis dotingly and avoided making any further comments on his last statements.

    A few days after in the World Tree Realm

    It took a few days before I was able to leave the palace since I had to check on the farms and all the pending construction and repair projects in the newly unlocked parts of Eieneos. I also have to at least appease Ioannis even though he said that he was fine and everything is good. Who says they are perfectly fine after being extremely angry and jealous just yesterday?

    I teleported to the World Tree Realm after lunch, three days after Laerad broke the door down at the palace. I reappeared in the beautiful field of flowers and I did a slow 360-degree turn looking at the beautiful view.

    When I returned to my original position, instead of seeing the hut, I saw an ethereally handsome man with emerald green hair, golden eyes, dressed in simple white robes standing only a few steps away from me. He clearly felt my presence as I arrived and purposely blocked my view of the hut to surprise me.

    I stared at his cold and blank face for a few seconds and he is obviously staring back at me. His face seemed to be screaming, "Why did you come just now and you even have the time to enjoy the flowers?!" but he opted to use the cold treatment on me instead. I coughed a bit, trying to stop myself from laughing at this childishness.

    I saw him took a step but instead of just moving a bit, he seems to blink and reappear only two steps away from me this time. I clasped my hands on my mouth, feigning a surprised face. I saw him clearly roll his eyes at me and scoff.

    I smiled at him and looked at him with innocent eyes. He then said, trying to keep his irritation in check, "Why are you smiling? Is anything funny?" I slowly changed my facial expression like I am someone that has been bullied.

    I saw his cold face change into something akin to worry. I responded, "Since, you are angry. I''m leaving. Just visit me when you have calmed down." I then turned around hiding a smirk on my face. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    He grabbed my left arm and I felt the air flicker. The next thing I know, we were already standing inside the gazebo in the middle of his personally-made lake. It was inside that tiny hut with a humongous interior. I looked around calmly, admiring the view and the beauty of his creations.

    He offered me a seat and with a wave of his hands, tea and snacks appeared on the table. He''s really flaunting as to the amount of mana he has already gotten back since he woke up. I looked at him amusingly but did not say any comment about it. I simply started nibbling on the bread and drinking the tea he offered.

    Laerad was simply staring at every move I am making. When I continued eating and drinking even after a few minutes, he sighed and spoke first, "I heard you''re going to be a mother soon. I would like to apologize and clarify that I am not attacking your home or anyone in your house. I just- just couldn''t control my strength yet."

    I lowered my teacup onto the table and answered, "Thank you for your well wishes. I know you won''t hurt other out of the blue. Yes, I will be having twins soon. I don''t know if you have been monitoring this planet recently but if you do, you''ll know the existence of the others. Even Lia and Aelorus don''t know about them yet."

    Laerad looked at me for a few seconds and then he slowly closed his eyes. I felt a huge amount of mana suddenly release from his body encompassing the realm then leaking out to beyond it. His eyes were barely closed for half a minute when he abruptly opened them.

    He then stared at me and said sarcastically, "It seems you have been busy completing your mission seeing that there are three more pregnancies from different races, two new husbands from the human realm in the process of deification, an awake Samir and quite a few lovers."
