Eria / 

A few months after the birth of the King's first three children /

King's Palace / Huxian's Room

Having three new members of the family made the palace more busy and noisy.

"Anna, stop pulling my hair! Anni, wait a moment!" 

Asianna and Asianni, two noisy and hyperactive twin sisters. The two were with their Red mother, Arlene.

Where is their biological mother? She was with the clone of their father, Ares. Unlike the sisters, Ares is a quiet and calm boy. 

The triplets of Reddragon family. Asianna, Asianni, and Ares. 

Arlene is in charge to take care of the sisters as the Red Mom. 

Why she take two when their biological mother only takes the boy? Because if the sisters with their actual mother, the two will be cared for by the mother's servants and that is not good for their growth.

"Victoria, help!"

The twin sisters were really like their mother. They are so beautiful and comely. Only that they don't have the curse of their mother's power. 

In essence, they are normal children.

"Remember to don't hold her too tight!"

Arlene had just finished bathing Asianna and was wiping the girl. Asianni was the first to be bathed, but she didn't like being left for long and started crying.

Fortunately, the Silver mom was there to help. 

"Waaaaa! Waaaaaaaaa!"

Unfortunately, the Silver mom sometimes gives this one scary aura and the babies will begin to cry when she holds them. 

"Arlene, I can't."

"Come here, girl!" 

Arlene takes Asianni and holds the twin sisters in her arm. She tried to calm them down, but it seems they need special needs for babies: milk.

"Huxian, can you put Ares to his bed and feed this twin sister?"

Ares was fast asleep in Huxian's arms. But the mother does not seem to want to let go of the father's clone.

"What if Ares has nightmares when I let him go?"

Like a digger unwilling to let go of the diamond she got, Huxian was unwilling to put Ares down.

"Aw, come on! Ares is not that weak. He is a clone of his father. He'll be fine. On the other hand, look at these two sisters! Ars will be mad at you if you abandon them!"

That was also the reason why Arlene was given the responsibility to accompany Huxian. Apart from her having experience, she also tasked with preventing Huxian from spoiling Ares too much and abandoning Asianna and Asianni.

Mentioning Ars was also the best way to get Huxian to cooperate.

"Alright! Mommy will be back, little prince." Huxian put Ares, who was sleeping leisurely in his box. "Come here, you two little noisy foxes." Then takes Asianna and Asianni to be feed.

The twin sister finally calmed down in their actual mother's arms and breast. 

The room became tranquil after all the babies had fallen asleep. The exhausted Huxian also fell asleep unconsciously.

Arlene took the opportunity to go out in silence. Skadi followed her colleague and let the mother and the triplet sleeping.

In the hall, Arlene and Skadi walked in silence.

Ever since the Abyss Pit to the bottom floor was discovered, the two of them had committed themselves not to conceive.

They want to dedicate their lives to accompany Ars in the upcoming battle.

At first Ars was against it. Because he wants every wife to give birth to at least one child. But when Arlene mentioned the war between Eria and the Black Hunter, Ars allowed their choice.

However, despite having decided not to conceive again, the pain Arlene felt after losing two children was still intense. 

She fell, leaning against the wall.

Skadi knew it was going to happen and immediately crouched down to help Arlene, who was starting to cry.

It wasn't the first time Arlene had cried after leaving Huxian and the triplets. Every time she came out of Huxian's room, she would start crying.

The cry was not a bad thing, actually. The cry represents her pain over the loss of her two biological children, and her happiness over her adopted twin daughters.

It helped her to move on from the past, and to move forward toward the future.

Sylvia's Room / 

"Oh, my god! She is sooo cute!"

Elisa couldn't hold back her eagerness when she witness her sister's clone sleeping.

Sylvia had just given birth to Ars' third daughter. It happened last night. 

The birth was unpredictable and shocking, to the point of awakening the entire sleeping palace.

A blonde baby girl who really looks like her mother. A small and calm girl who inherited her father's character.

"But I'm still mad because Ars gave her such a simple name!"

Silvy Shield Reddragon. Ars just took the mother's first name and last name and gave the dragon's family last name.

It was either because the girl looked like her mother or Ars did not think of anything to give at the time.

"But Silvy is a beautiful name though."

It seemed that the mother adore the little girl's name gave by the father. 

In that case, Elisa couldn't protest anymore then.

Looking at the baby she had just given birth to, Sylvia was stunned into a sweet smile.

That smile was the most beautiful smile Elisa had ever seen, and she never expected from her sister.

"In the past, when Sword Saint left us and disappear, I never thought of being in a special relationship with a man."

Sylvia started to express her feelings that she had kept for a long time.

Since being adopted by Maria and becoming a small family with Sylvia, Elisa never thought about listening to her sister's story, which Elisa considered she is a perfect figure of a woman.

"That day, my heart is shattered and my expectations of men have dropped drastically. Not to mention at the same time, the Staff Saint had died and Spear Saint was not there to confront us."

Those were extremely difficult times for the Abyssal Hunter. Elisa could never forget those sad times.

"All men think that they can replace the two disappear Saint and tried to take over the Shield City for them to command."

Shield City was the center of Abyssal operation. 

"They all just want power without thinking about the responsibilities they have to bear."

That was why, back when the Sword and Staff Saint gone, many people want to take the command of the city.

"But he is different."

He is Sylvia's now husband.

"Even though he wanted everything, which made him dare to destroy the city and build a new. But he was serious about his words. Every decision he makes carries the responsibility of being a leader. That's why, I gave everything to him, the city and even me."

It was the biggest decision Sylvia had made in her life. Which changed her life, and terra.

"So are you, Elisa?"

Elisa unhesitatingly nodded at her sister's question.

"I see, so you also want to bear Ars' child."

"Eh?"

"No wonder that you get more nights with Ars than others."

Elisa's face immediately turned red on that topic.

"Wait, no! I told Ars that I didn't want to get pregnant yet!"

"Hm? Why?"

"Well, you know that Ars recently busy with the Lower Floor Abyss Pit. So, if, in the meantime that Ars decided to go down, I want to be with him."

Sylvia was surprised by her sister's decision. But she can understand that. 

The expedition to the lower floors was a perilous journey. With Elisa beside Ars, their chances of survival will be even greater.

"But you still receive your ration from Ars, right? Then you have to be careful."

"Th-that's right. "

"But I don't mind if you give a little cousin for Silvy."

"Sylvia!"
