Chapter 391 Don’t Want a New Mother
"My dear son, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more handsome!" Sang Luo was very happy and kissed him on the head.
Hephis blushed a little, "I heard from Uncle Shengjun that mother has been sleeping for a long time. How is her health now? I am an unfilial son and I was unable to be with you."
"Don't worry, mother is in good health. With your uncles and aunts here, what can happen to mother?"
Minos smiled at Hephaestus and said, "It's just right that you're here. Your mother just discussed with me about bringing you to the Holy Palace to stay for a few days. Vilina and Iris are always talking about you as a brother and want to go visit you."
"Yes, Brother Hephes, please stay and play with us. The arithmetic and ancient poetry that mother taught us are so difficult. Brother, can you teach us?" Little Rose looked at Hephes with sparkling eyes, pouted her little mouth, and shook his arm.
Hephis grew up alone and loved the two little angels very much. Naturally, he couldn't refuse. "Okay! I will teach my younger brother and sister well!"
Sang Luo suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders was a lot lighter. Fortunately, the little lion came over. The little lion had excellent grades in his studies and was just right to teach the two little angels.
"Mother, Uncle Minos, I, I want to stay in the Holy Palace for a few more months. Will it disturb you?" Hephes said a little stiffly.
Sang Luo said with heartache, "My dear son, you can stay in the Holy Palace as long as you want. The Holy Palace is also your home. No matter what your father did, you will always be your mother's favorite child. Ice Breaking City, Phoenix Palace, and Sea Palace are also your home. Your uncle and brothers and sisters are always here to welcome you. We will always be the closest family."
Hephis nodded heavily, buried his head in her arms, and said with a heavy nasal voice, "...I understand, mother."
Minos was extremely attentive and spoke in a gentle and deep voice, "Did you suffer any injustice in the Kingdom of Alans?"
Hephaestus' body stiffened for a moment, then quickly shook his head. "No, my father is very good to me. He is preparing to marry the princess of Oss next month, and he has been very busy lately. I don't want to disturb my father, so I want to stay with Uncle Minos for a few days."
Minos ruffled his short golden brown hair and smiled gently, "Your mother is right. The Holy Palace is also your home. You can stay here as long as you want. Your two brothers and sisters and I are eager for you to come here every day."
"Yeah!" Hephes nodded heavily, smiling happily.
"You three go play first. Mother will call you when dinner is ready."
Little Apple took Hephis's hand and said sweetly, "Brother, let's go to the chess and card room. I want to play flying chess!"
"good!"
After the children left, Sang Luo and Minos looked at each other and sighed softly.
Children's thoughts are the most difficult to hide. How could Sang Luo not see that Hephis was sad? The child was very sensible. He didn't want to embarrass her or Duotu, so he swallowed all his sadness in his stomach and digested it silently.
Hephis knew very well that his mother had so many talented brothers and sisters. He was not special and did not have the blessing of his father's love, so he was the most likely to be ignored.
And now my father has found a new love, and he may give birth to new brothers and sisters in the future...
He was afraid of being abandoned by both his parents and having no home of his own.
"I will take good care of this child in the future," said Minos.
Sang Luo felt guilty, "It's because I paid too little attention to him. I always thought Duotu would take good care of this only child, so I gave the child to him without worry. But I also forgot that he would get married again and have new children in the future. The little lion was caught in a dilemma..."
Minos took out a white invitation with gold foil, "The Beast King Alans is having his engagement party next month. Luoluo wants to go?"
Sang Luo raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You want me to come over?"
Minos chuckled. "It seems Luoluo really doesn't care about him anymore. I thought you would be a little... angry when you heard this news?"
Sang Luo shook her head. "I'm a person who is easily moved by feelings, but if I want to break up, I will definitely do it cleanly. What I hate most is lingering ties. I've made up my mind not to be alone, so if I really don't want him, what does his subsequent marriage have to do with me?"
Minos nodded. "Luoluo seems quite open-minded. Do you want to go over there?"
"...After all, I am the former queen of the Alans Empire. Bringing an invitation to meet the future queen would be a bit of a nuisance. I'll ask your Holy Envoy to deliver the gift for me."
"Luoluo is wrong about this. The former queen of the Yalas Empire has already transformed. You are my Holy Queen."
Sang Luo was enlightened, "That's right."
After dinner, Minos took his two little angel children back to the Crown Prince's Palace to sleep. She had specifically told him not to come tonight, so he had no choice but to go and accompany the children. Sang Luo wanted to spend more time with the little lion, and she also had something to ask him.
"Son, do you want your father to get married?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this, mother?"
"If your father had no children, he could have married or not married someone off at his own will, and outsiders couldn't interfere. But he has a precious son like you, and he found you a stepmother, which will have a great influence on you. The most important thing to ask about this matter is your wishes. Mother wants to hear your true thoughts."
Duotu should have asked his son what he thought beforehand, but Hephis would definitely not show any resistance in front of his father.
"I..." Hephis looked at his mother's gentle face, tears streaming down his face, "I don't want my father to marry a new mother."
Sang Luo reached out and wiped his face, "Why? Is the new aunt treating you badly?"
Hephis shook his head and choked up, "She wasn't mean to me, and she even gave me a lot of gifts, but I can see that she doesn't like me very much. I, I want my mother, not a new mother..."
"Okay, mother got it." Sang Luo touched his head and said softly, "Good baby, don't think about anything, go to sleep first."
"Um."
Hephes wiped his eyes with his hand and climbed into bed to sleep.
Sang Luo covered him with a quilt, sat by the bed for a long time, tiptoed out the door, and met Minos who was walking towards her.
"I'll go with you to the engagement party at the Alans Empire next month."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Well, there are some things I need to clarify with Duotu face to face."
Minos looked at her quietly for a long time, then nodded, "Okay."
…
Half a month passed in a flash.
The engagement party between the Beast King of the Alans Empire and the Princess of the Os Kingdom arrived as scheduled.
The imperial city was bustling with activity, decorated with lights and colorful banners. Screens in shopping malls and on various tall buildings flashed posters and videos announcing the marriage between the two countries. Passersby stopped to watch and chatted in a constant stream.
The royal palace welcomed foreign envoys with the greatest ceremony.
Minos and Sanluo brought messengers from the temple to deliver blessings.
For the first time in the last few hundred years, an envoy from the Holy Temple came to bless the Beast King's wedding banquet. And the one who came was none other than the legendary Holy King! This made the people of the entire Alans Empire extremely excited, and everyone's anticipation for this engagement banquet reached an unprecedented climax.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the King invites you to come. I will lead the way for you two!"
