Chapter 277 She's Still Alive
A very young lion was carefully scratching the door with one of its front paws, with half of its head sticking out, its ears drooping back, its body trembling slightly, wanting to go in but not daring to.
Sang Luo subconsciously shouted: Hephes!
He shook his head again, no, it’s not Hephes.
Hephaestus looks very similar to this little lion, but there are some differences if you look closely. Hephaestus has golden fur with a hint of brown, while this little lion has a very pure and clear golden color.
It’s Duotu…Duotu from Anano’s childhood memories.
Duotu grew up surrounded by his parents' quarrels.
Sang Luo no longer had any feelings for Duotu. There was no love nor hate. All her feelings for him had slowly dissipated over the past seven years. He was just a stranger she knew.
She would sigh with pity for the young golden lion, but fortunately he raised Hephes well and did not let his son repeat the same mistakes.
The scene changes again.
Sang Luo saw the little lion again. It was a little bigger than before. It was locked in a small dark room. The view inside the room was dim. It was like a square box without even a window.
It curled up in the corner, crying and shouting.
"don't want……"
"Mom, don't... don't..."
The memory stopped abruptly, was interrupted suddenly.
Sang Luo was forced out of the gate of memory.
The owner didn't want to recall that memory, she didn't know what happened afterwards.
Sang Luo opened his eyes again and Minos came back.
"It is rumored in the Alans Empire that the former queen had passed away long ago, and was it the Temple that brought her back?" she asked him.
"Well, Aunt Anagno left the temple for several years and never returned. Her partner, Mithras, went down to look for her many times. Not long after, Mithras's life lamp went out inside the temple, which alerted the temple. They sent out personnel to search for her and brought her back. Ergali Alans was unable to disobey the temple's order and was forced to release her and announce the queen's death to the world," Minos said. "Aunt Anagno was like this after she returned, sometimes lucid, sometimes mad. She petitioned the temple to permanently forbid Ergali Alans and the child from ever entering the sacred realm."
Sang Luo nodded, "Aunt Ananuo is also a pitiful person. Anyone who suffers from this kind of thing will make this choice."
"What about you?" Minos looked at her.
Sang Luo was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Duotu is not Ergali, and I am not Anano, so we cannot be compared. That's why I love the little lion I gave birth to very much, and I also acknowledge the mother-son relationship between it and me."
She only mentioned the little lion and didn't mention Duotu.
Minos understood her implication and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "Then I'm relieved."
Sang Luo blinked, not understanding what it meant.
Minos didn't mention the matter any further. He turned to look at Anano, who lay unconscious on the bed. "Although Aunt Anano has returned, the Temple is not satisfied. Since her return, she has sealed her heart and soul, no longer mates with males to reproduce. The angels have been unable to produce any new offspring... The Temple has always wanted to relieve her worries."
Sang Luo took a sip of the cold coffee and said, "The person who tied the bell must untie it. Eugaria Lance is dead, and Aunt Ananuo should be able to get over it slowly."
"I hope so."
Someone came outside to call him, and Minos left again.
Minos went to the temple.
The Archbishop happened to arrive with a letter.
"Your Majesty, he wants to come to the temple to ask about raising angelic offspring. Should I refuse or..."
Duotu did not succeed in awakening the inherited power of the angels, but he had half the blood of the angels after all. Logically, he was qualified to come to the temple, but because of the ban set by His Highness Anano, he could not set foot in the sacred realm, let alone come to the temple.
But now it is different from the past. Dotu Alans has a child who has awakened the blood of an angel. The child stays with him to be raised. He is also lucky enough to be qualified to bring his child to the temple.
The temple was in a dilemma and had to let the Son of God make the decision.
Minos, "Raising an angelic offspring is different from raising an offspring from another race. He does have a lot to learn from the Temple. Since she doesn't mind, let him in."
"she?"
Minos said nothing more, only saying, "When Dotu Aramus comes, let me know so I can see him in person."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
The witch doctors of the Alans Empire are very busy.
The little prince in the palace has been ill frequently and is in poor health recently.
This made the Beast King very anxious.
All the witch doctors had examined the little prince, but they found he was not ill and none of the medicines they prescribed were effective. Finally, an experienced witch doctor explained the little prince's condition: malnutrition.
Ever since Hephis awakened his angelic heritage, he'd slowly begun to experience various health problems. Dotu initially thought he was ill and summoned every renowned doctor in the kingdom to the palace for treatment. Ultimately, they diagnosed him with malnutrition. How could this be possible? He'd provided him with the finest milk powder and nutritional supplements since he was young, and the food he ate was the finest, personally formulated according to his development. How could he possibly be malnourished?!
"Angel cubs may develop differently than ordinary orc cubs. The food here may no longer be suitable for your little prince. Your Majesty should go to the temple and ask them. They will surely know more than you."
Duotu looked at Hephes who was sleeping in his arms. It had lost a lot of weight compared to more than a month ago. You could even vaguely feel its ribs. It was heartbreaking.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have insisted on keeping the child by his side, but without this child, he really didn't know what hope he had of living.
Sacred territory...the temple...
He had no right to go to that place, and he never wanted to set foot there and see his mother. He also knew that his mother didn't want to see him either.
However, Duotu looked at the child and finally wrote a letter and sent it to the temple.
The temple agreed to his request.
He was allowed to enter the sacred territory and could come and go freely in the future.
One day, just as Sangluo and Minos had finished their meal, a servant came to deliver a message.
"Your Highness, he's here. Are you going to see him now?"
Sang Luo asked casually while cracking some sunflower seeds, "Who's here?"
Minos, "The one you don't want to see."
Sang Luo paused, and after seeing Minos leave with the waiter, he became even more curious.
Someone she didn't want to see? And he was related to the Angel Clan... Could it be Duotu?
Doesn’t it mean that he cannot enter the sacred realm?
Sang Luo thought about it, turned around and went to the balcony on the top floor of the palace, where he saw Duotu and the little lion coming from below.
The listless Hephes in his arms suddenly started to wake up, and looked up blankly in one direction.
Duotu also subconsciously glanced over there, and was suddenly stunned. His arms loosened and the little lion almost fell out of his arms.
The slender female figure flashed by. He only had time to see her back, not her face. But it was enough to capture his heart and soul. It was too familiar...
He hurriedly hugged the child and tried to catch up.
Minos came and blocked his way.
Duotu was unable to recover for a long time, and said in a daze and bitterly, "Just now, I saw a female in white clothes. She was..."
Minos, "My holy wife."
No more updates today, go to bed early, my darlings!
