Chapter 457: The news
Many bizarre things happened in the Avander World, for it was a planet with magic, mana, and absurd phenomena. Many people would agree that a naked man and elf lying on a soft bed in the middle of the barren land would be one of those bizarre events.
It was not really a barren land, though. Next to the couple, there was a small lake, which used to be a pond, actually. In the middle of that lake, a tall tree stood strong.
That and the system message confirmed the special event in Alex and Remia's lives; the elven queen has been impregnated!
It was just the first step, yet the lake expanded, and the tree rose to a normal tree's height! How would it evolve throughout the years alongside their child?
Alex and Remia could only wonder with blissful smiles on their faces.
It was not the end of the surprises, however. As the love blossomed, and Remia no longer had any doubts about herself, the couple had created their common skill!
[Love Fruit(SSS)]
It wasn't supportive or offensive skill. In fact, it was a skill that allowed Alex and Remia to decide what kind of bloodline their child would inherit from them. That skill also erased inconveniences caused by two different races mating with each other.
It was a perfect skill for Remia. She would lend it to everyone in Alex's family and even her future friends, hoping that the people she treasures continue their best and happy lives.
Alex had no problems imagining Remia reacting to other girls getting impregnated. She would cry the same, like today when Alex decided to take a first step toward creating his family.
"Are you okay with our first child being just an elf?" Remia asked faintly, her voice still concerned.
Alex laughed, "I hope he or she will have at least my eyes and some other characteristics… Maybe my charisma!"
"Haha!" Remia grinned, tightly hugging her beloved. They were in such a good mood that other system messages eluded them. They just enjoyed themselves, talking about their child, thinking about names, and other stuff.
But a few hours later, they would realize just how awesome the World Tree was.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Celia ran through the Deathwill Castle while holding Veronica and Ubo's hands, looking ecstatic! Her sister and brother were the same, smiling with oddly wide smiles!
Sara had been in the kitchen, making dinner like in the good past, she turned to the happy children and asked with a beautiful smile, her hands still on the ingredients. Right now, the dullahan momma had been slicing some meat through a knife!
"We will have a new sister or brother soon! Remia will be a mommy!" Celia conveyed the news to her mother, grinned, then ran away to her other aunts. No, she told the news to everyone in the castle, because why not?
Sara stood frozen, the knife dropped onto the kitchen board, and she gazed into nothing, for her mind swirled with thoughts. She then smiled, picked up the knife, and continued making her dinner.
"I need to prepare more stuff for the celebration."
"But I am a fiancee," Stella said after hearing the news.
Celia squinted her eyes and asked, "So what?"
On the other hand, Veronica kept nodding, expecting to see her mother getting a child, too! Ubo stood with his arms folded, siding with Alex, or at least it looked like that.
Although Celia didn't know what Stella meant, she had an inkling that there was something off, and she couldn't help but look at her aunt with narrowed, scrutinizing eyes.
At last, Stella faintly smiled, "Can't be the best all the time."
Veronica nodded more.
Celia's eyes turned into slits as she squeezed them more.
And Ubo just thought that his father was indeed a good man for some reason.
"Aunt Schnee! Oh, Aunt Olivia is here, too!" Celia barged into Schnee's room, followed by her peers. They glanced at Schnee, who paced around the room with crossed arms, her tail frozen.
"Adorable creatures!" Olivia's eyes sparkled, for she loved cute things, including Celia, Olivia, and Ubo. These three were so adorable in their own way!
She extended her hands to pick them, but Celia and Ubo avoided her as if having good teamwork. In the meantime, Veronica happily sat on Olivia's lap.
"As you see, Aunt Schnee is irked by something. She doesn't know what it is," Olivia laughed and pointed her slim finger at Schnee, who cast her irritated gaze before taking a seat on the chair.
"I am not in a mood for games," Schnee said to Celia, who stood with a grin on her face. Somehow, Schnee's heart trembled due to that smile.
At last, the little dullahan raised her hand and told the news, "Aunt Remia will have a baby!"
BANG!
The chair's arm exploded as Schnee slammed her fist, "Again, I lost!"
On the other hand, Olivia shrugged, "I'm too young for that… Thought handsome would think the same… I guess something significant happened, and he was fine with Remia becoming the mother of his kid.
Well, Alex is no longer the same. He matured faster than me, so I will wait for him to make me momma, too."
"That's really m.a.t.u.r.e of you, Olivia!" Schnee barked with exasperation, her eyes tightly shut, jealous like never before.
"Well, I am not one hundred years old," The delinquent girl could only laugh and tease her more before running away from the room with Celia and others.
Deathwill Mothers took the news with pleasant smiles. They wished the best for Alex and Remia after meeting them. Three of them already had children, and though Alex promised to have them bear his child, too, they weren't impatient or hasty to start a new family of three or more.
Yumia kept crying, however, similarly to her daughter. Perhaps, they were precisely the same when it came to kids.
Erin felt like it was way too young for her to even think about it. She became Remia's maid, even though Alex told her not to call herself like that, and decided to study Remia and her months of pregnancy.
Eva Mora naturally congratulated the couple.
And then, Alex saw the message.
[The World Tree can connect realms to make one big realm.]
