Chapter 254 I Met Your Illegitimate Son
Three days later, the temple messenger arrived as promised.
Only two people came this time, the archbishop and the young saint with spectacles on his face.
Everyone outside the hall retreated, leaving only three people confronting each other.
"Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"
Duotu's face turned pale. "I've thought about this seriously over the past three days... You can take this empire if you want. I don't need anything here, as long as I can keep my son."
The archbishop was also stunned for a moment and looked at the young saint beside him.
The young man spoke, "Your Majesty has worked diligently over the years to govern the empire in an orderly manner. We have all seen it. No one is more suitable to be the ruler of this country than you."
He looked at the little lion in Duotu's arms again.
"Without the empire as leverage, Your Majesty would truly be unable to leave behind any offspring."
"What on earth do you want to do!" Duotu's anger, which had been suppressed for several days, completely erupted.
These people in the temple are so arrogant and look down on others. They want to take his son away from him so easily. What right do they have?
He only has this son, why should his son be taken away from him?
"Except for this thing you can't take away, I can give you everything else!"
Hephis jumped out of Duotu's arms and pleaded with the two Holy Envoys, "Please don't take me away. I won't go with you! I just want to stay by my father's side. If you...if you force me to leave, I will! I will kill myself!"
After saying that, it actually looked around, selected a solid white pillar, kicked its hind legs, and pretended to rush towards it.
"Heh." The young man seemed amused and raised his hand to create a golden barrier.
Even at such a young age, he threatens people.
Hephis naturally didn't intend to actually bump into them, he just wanted to scare them.
But if you really push them into a corner, children are naturally impulsive, which can be frightening.
The archbishop was also a little overwhelmed.
The child was determined not to go with them, and there was nothing they could do. Forcing him to go might backfire and make this rare and precious offspring hate them, which was not what the Temple wanted to see.
The young man's voice was gentle and elegant. "If your Highness does not wish to leave, we will not force you. But please remember, Your Majesty, the angels' only faith is the Temple. Generations have served it, dedicating everything to it, even... their lives."
Duotu's face was cold. This time he was asked to swear an oath, making him, Hephes who would succeed him in the future, and the entire Alans Empire become their loyal lackeys.
He looked at the ignorant child and said in a hoarse voice after a long pause, "Okay."
The Archbishop nodded in satisfaction. "Then the Temple can rest assured that the heir will grow up in the Empire. However, Your Majesty, please hand the child over to us first. We will take the child back to the Temple and, after enlightening him, return him to Your Majesty."
Duotu naturally knew about the inheritance of the angels. Orcs who did not obtain the inheritance of the angels before transforming would not be able to possess the power of the bloodline even if they awakened the angel bloodline.
He figured it out last night. Hephaestus was his most precious bloodline, and he could risk his life for this child... He couldn't forcibly cut off its wings that were allowing it to fly into the sky for his own selfish desires.
"Yes, I trust the decision of the Temple, but I also ask the Temple to sign a heaven-earth contract with me and ensure that after Qiming is completed, the child will be returned to me."
The Archbishop said, "Of course I can. I will personally sign the contract with Your Majesty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Duotu turned his head and looked at the young Holy Envoy in a plain white robe beside the Archbishop. His clothes were no different from those of the other Holy Envoys, but his instinct told him that this man was definitely not simple. Even the Archbishop showed a hint of respect for him.
"This king wishes to establish a heaven-earth contract with this Holy Envoy."
Just as the Archbishop was about to speak harshly, the young man raised his hand to stop him and said gently, "I will follow your Majesty's wishes."
A magnificent golden magic circle appeared under the feet of the two people, and then the magic circle turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the void.
The oath between heaven and earth is complete.
"Now, Your Majesty can rest assured to leave the heir to us." The young man stretched out his hand to him.
A slender white hand stretched out from the complicated and heavy holy robe, with distinct joints, and it was as beautiful as a handicraft carefully carved by a god.
"Hephis, come here." Duotu squatted down and picked up the little lion that ran over. He looked at it carefully for a long time, kissed it on the head, and handed the child to them with a cold face.
The young man hugged the tense little lion, gently stroking its soft fur with his beautiful, slender fingers, and asked casually, "Who is the mother of this child?"
Duotu's face changed slightly, and his voice was extremely cold. "She died unexpectedly during childbirth. She died many years ago."
"Oh, is that so? What a poor child..." The young man's finger fell in front of the little lion's eyes, and the child fell asleep in his arms unknowingly.
Duotu's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that the child was fine and simply asleep, he managed to calm down. "Please, Holy Envoy, return the child as promised."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
The two of them took the child and disappeared into the void.
Duotu looked in the direction they left. After staring for a long time, his whole body seemed to slowly lose strength and he slid down the wall to the ground.
…
Outside the world, the temple.
The young man carried the child into the courtyard.
A beautiful female angel is watering flowers in the backyard.
She has long golden hair that shines like the sun, rosy pink eyes, and a veil on her face. It is not difficult to see the softness and exquisiteness of her face. The pair of folded white wings behind her are so sacred and beautiful that it makes people hold their breath and dare not look directly at her.
"Aunt Anano, I brought back the cub that was lost outside."
"You went down there in person." The female took the kettle in her hand and looked towards the door.
"After all, it's a rare bloodline within the clan." The young man casually plucked a red rose and spoke in a low, pleasant voice, like a slowly played cello. "Also, I've seen your illegitimate son who's been living abroad. It turns out he's also..."
The feminine's gentle face suddenly turned ferocious, and she interrupted harshly, "Don't mention him to me!"
“It’s been so many years.”
Ananu sneered, "I will never forget this stain in my life. I gave birth to such a mixed-blood illegitimate child. I should have strangled him to death back then!"
Her emotions became increasingly frantic. "As long as he lives, I will remember his damned, disgusting father! What did he do to me back then? Not only did he imprison me in the palace for so many years! He also killed Mithras!"
Young man, "Eugly Yarans died seven years, one month, and three days ago."
Ananu's expression gradually calmed down.
After a moment, he only said one word.
"Good death!"
"Aunt, please take a look at this child. Its angel bloodline is inherited from you." The young man handed the sleeping lion cub in his arms to her.
Ananuo's expression was cold. "Another unlucky lion."
Although he expressed disgust, he reached out and hugged his grandson.
The teen smiled, "It's cute, isn't it?"
When Anano stroked the white wings on the little lion's back, his pupils suddenly dilated, as if he had seen something horrible. He threw the little lion in his arms to the ground and screamed,
"Get out! Get away from me!"
