Mommy Villainess

Chapter 321: The Child Who Must Never Be Born

SOLEIL couldn't help but laugh softly at Kalel's stupefied state.

It had already been a good ten minutes since the doctor who checked on her left. But her husband was still frozen while sitting beside her. Kalel's hand was also placed gently over her tummy. But he was as stiff and as cold as ice.

Ah, yes. We decided to call a doctor to check whether I was pregnant or not.

After all, Kalel thought it wasn't normal for her to be craving for his ice. Although her husband always makes sure that his ice cubes were edible and safe for her to eat, he was still worried. Thus, he called a doctor.

That was how they found out that she was already more than two months pregnant.

"Are you okay, Lord Kalel?" Soleil asked worriedly, then she put a hand on her husband's hand on her stomach. "Are you still in disbelief after we find out that I'm pregnant?"

Kalel slowly nodded. "It's such an overwhelming feeling to know that we've created a life together, Soleil."

She smiled warmly at her husband. After all, she knew exactly what he was feeling right now. "I understand how you feel, Lord Kalel. We created another life, and I'm sure that our child would be a wonderful person."

She was fully aware that the child in her womb was the Moon Serpent a "weapon" that they must use to kill Auro Moonchester.

But now that the baby was finally in her womb, she could no longer see the child as the Moon Serpent. She wouldn't allow anyone to treat her child as a weapon. After all, it was the life that she created with her beloved Kalel.

"I'm just a little worried, Lord Kalel," she said when she remembered what the doctor said a while ago. "The doctor said that our baby's heartbeat is faint. She said that I'm already more than two months pregnant. The baby's heartbeat should be clearly detected by now."

"We should return to the Royal Capital," her husband said. "The best doctors are in the Royal Capital after all."

To be honest, she knew that it was the right thing to do.

Yet, she couldn't help but hesitate. Now that she was pregnant, she needed to stay away from Auro Moonchester. And she didn't want the greedy king to know that she was already pregnant.

"Lord Kalel, may I ask for a favor?"

"Anything, Soleil."

"Can we keep my pregnancy a secret from everyone first?"

He looked surprised by her request. "May I know why?"

"The women in our clan used to say that the first months of pregnancy is quite dangerous," she said. Although what she was saying was true, it wasn't the real reason why she wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret. She felt bad for lying to Kalel, but she had to. "I don't want them to make a fuss over my pregnancy until it's almost time for me to give birth to our baby." She squeezed his hand and gave her husband a pleading look. "Can you keep this a secret from King Auro as well?"

"If you don't plan to tell your clan about the good news yet, then I won't tell my brother yet," he promised her. "I will trust your judgment."

"Thank you, Lord Kalel."

He just nodded and squeezed her hand. "Should I secretly return to the Royal Capital and find you a doctor?"

"Regarding that matter, can I contact Solenn?" she asked. "Right now, she's the only person I'm comfortable to share my pregnancy news to. We can trust her about keeping it a secret. And moreover, she can send a doctor from our clan to check on me."

Since Luna wasn't here, she could only depend on Solenn.

To be honest, they warned her not to get pregnant right away. She even talked to Kalel about it. Thus, they used birth control medicine.

But she remembered that there was a time that they did it without protection.

It was only once and here she was, now pregnant.

"What are you thinking, Soleil?"

"I told you that I didn't want to get pregnant right away but here we are now," she said with a smile. "It seems like I'm meant to be a mother as early as now."

He suddenly looked worried. "Do you regret it?"

She shook her head. To be honest, she thought she'd get scared for ruining their plan. After all, she was advised by the Moon and the Sun Priestess not to get pregnant yet. But after receiving the good news, she only felt happiness in her heart.

But there was fear as well.

Don't worry, baby. I will protect you. Your father and I won't let anything bad happen to you, our little angel.

"I don't regret it, too," her husband said gently. "Even though we didn't plan for you to get pregnant right away, I'm still glad that our child is in your womb now."

"Lord Kalel, you have to protect our child at all cost," Soleil said, then she hugged her husband and buried her face against his neck. After all, she didn't want him to see her sad and worried expression at the moment. "Please don't let any harm befall on our baby."

"Of course, I won't," Kalel promised her, then he hugged her tight. "I will always protect you and our child, Soleil."

"THE MOON Serpent has descended back to earth."

To say that Auro was shocked to hear the news from Kyro, the Moon God himself, would be an understatement. "Soleil Rosenberg is already pregnant?"

Right now, he was in the tea room with his esteemed guest.

Kyro was using another person's physical body as a vessel. But even though that was the case, his aura as a god was still blinding and overwhelming.

"Yes," Kyro, seated opposite him while calmly drinking his tea, said. "I checked the Plane before I returned here. The Spirit of the Moon Serpent is no longer there, Auro Moonchester. The only way for him to get out of his cage is to be conceived as my son's child with the Supreme Fire Mage."

His grip almost broke the handle of the teacup in his hand. "That child must never be born then."

When Kyro sent him a message a few days ago, he was delighted to know that the Moon God was finally returning. After all, the real bracelet that Soleil Rosenberg received from the Sky God was in the possession of the Moon God. But since his brother, Kalel, wanted him to return it to the Supreme Fire Mage, he had no choice but to ask Kyro to return it.

He didn't know that Kyro would return with a piece of bad news.

"We should kill the Moon Serpent before he gets reborn," he said with a low growl. "I already crushed his heart. How come he was still able to be reincarnated?"

"Exactly."

"Huh?"

"You don't have to panic, Auro Moonchester," the Moon God said to him. "As you said, you crushed the Moon Serpent's real heart in the past. But the Plane probably provided him with a temporary heart. The Sky God must have had a hand in that."

"So, the Moon Serpent is alive?"

"Yes, but his heart is weak," the god said, then he sipped some tea. "That means we can easily kill the Moon Serpent."

He was relieved to hear that, but he was still worried. "Kalel is the problem, Lord Kyro. Yumi's poison seemed to have weakened. My brother is very attached to Soleil Rosenberg now. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he might choose his wife over me in his current state."

"Don't worry about that, Auro," the Moon God said, then he slipped his hand in the inside pocket of his suit. Then, he put the bracelet on the table the Holy Bracelet that the Supreme Fire Mage received from the Sky God. "I already tampered with that bracelet. Instead of my adorable daughter-in-law, you're the one who would be able to control the Beast Gods now, Auro Moonchester. If you use that against my son, he can never disobey you."

His eyes widened in shock. "Really, my lord?"

The Moon God nodded, then he paused for a while before speaking again. "Don't let Elis Ripperton know. He'll get pissed since he doesn't like being controlled. And you don't have to use the bracelet on the Blue Dragon since he's an ally anyway." He sipped his tea before he continued. "Just use that to control my stubborn son."

Auro smiled, then he picked up the Holy Bracelet and put it on his wrist. "We can't return this to Soleil Rosenberg now," he said, then he turned to Kyro. "What should we give her then, Lord Kyro?"

"I made a fake one," Kyro said in a proud voice. "Give that to my daughter-in-law and I swear that she won't notice the difference."

"WHO ARE you?" Winchell snarled at the woman he found in a strange room. "Where is Luna?!"

When he and Luna arrived at the Plane, a strong and unseen force separated the two of them.

He tried to look for her, but he got stuck in a hallway where both sides had white doors. He opened each door that he passed by but all of them were empty. Then, when the last door that he opened brought him to the strange woman in front of him now.

"Why are you getting angry at me when you're the one who trespassed at my home," the woman said in a cheerful voice. "You're really rude, Red Phoenix."

He just glared at her.

The woman had long, golden hair and a pair of literally shining green eyes. She wore a simple yet elegant white robe with gold accents. And she was holding a pen with a golden feather in her left hand.

That was when he noticed that the room looked like an office.

And the only desk there was messy with a mountain of what seemed to be paper works.

"You look like a goddess," he said carefully. "But this is the first time that I've seen you."

"I don't like getting out of my room," the goddess said. "By the way, stop calling me 'you.' You may call me 'Mistress' instead."

Winchell raised a brow at the weird name the strange goddess just gave him. "Mistress of what?"

"Mistress of Fate," 'Mistress' said in an excited tone, then she held up the golden quil in her hand. "Winchell, the Red Phoenix, would you like me to change your past and make the Moon Priestess called Luna your wife?"

NOTE: I don't know what else to say but sorry. I'm really sorry for suddenly taking a hiatus here without telling you in advance. My brain suddenly stopped working for Mommy Villainess just when we're at the final arc.

But my brain is working properly again.

I'm back.

And I'm here to finish the story now.

I hope you forgive me for the sudden break. I didn't mean to make you feel abandoned. I'm really sorry. :<
