157 Chapter 157: The Bad/Good News

The news that the queen had given birth quickly reached the former king Eldron. The former king’s reaction was happy, but there was still a deep apprehension. It wasn’t the first time a half-human half-demon was born. What remains in the realm where he should belong is how he lives. If evil is his nature, he will be sent to the realm of demons, but if he is more human, he will be exiled to the world of humans. But the king’s son, although half-blood, cannot be said to be just that. Reed is strong, and if his son gets his power and strength, it will not be far from being a problem for everyone, even for Reed, because he can live in a world of humans without causing any issues. He can quickly adapt to the places he goes, which means he is not easy to kill.

Eldron took a deep breath and faced Dynhir. This was the news to him. Eldron wasn’t sure if anyone else had been told that news.

“I know he’s your son, and I’m talking about your grandson, but I’m thinking about the state of the realm. Allowing a half-blood to live in our world to be the leader and be more powerful than anyone else is a big insult for pure-blood demons, my king.” Dynhir said.

“I understand what you want to say, Dynhir, but I have yet to see anything that could destroy the realm. You are talking about the future and not the present time, prince.”

“That’s exactly what I’m going for, my king. We already know what might happen, so you should find a way to prevent it.”

“Prince Dynhir, you worry too much about the future. Why don’t you enjoy the present so you won’t be so stressed.”

Just as Dynhir had hoped, he had nothing to gain from the former king. Of course, it will side with the son and protect the grandson. Dynhir took a deep breath, and Eldron noticed it.

“Prince Dynhir, you don’t need to worry about tomorrow. No one knows that what you fear today might be different when you wake up. Remember, tomorrow depends on today, so don’t worry too much.”

Dynhir didn’t answer yet, so he was worried about tomorrow because of what happened today.

.....

——

“What? Dynhir announced the birth of my son to the demon of the realm?”

Anton turned his head as he faced the three elites. One of king Eldron’s trusted soldiers was sent across from the realm to report what Dynhir had done. Reed, Devin, and Eve are surprised when Anton arrives to announce what the former king Eldron is delivering. Eve frowned.

“Why would Dynhir do that?” Eve asked Anton.

“The prince of the Incubus is afraid of something, my princess,” said Anton.

“Afraid?” Eve asked.

“Has anyone else heard of the news Dynhir brought to the realm?” Reed asked.

“That’s what former king Eldron feared. He doesn’t know if Prince Dynhir said anything after talking.” Anton said.

“Alright, you can leave now,” Reed said.

Anton quickly left them.

Reed clenched his fist, and fire surprised Eve and Devin.

“Haist, Reed, calm down. Maybe what you’re doing is the one that will harm your son.” Eve scolded.

Suddenly, the fire in Reed’s hand disappeared when he realized what Eve had said. Devin frowned as he looked at Reed’s hand. The whole house and its outside have a shield to protect the people living in that house, and even he, Devin, can’t use his power inside it, but when he saw Reed release fire from his fist, he was confused.

“Sir Reed, Miss Emy wants to see you,” Jasmin said.

“Okay,” Reed said. He turned his back on everyone and went up the stairs to his room with Emy.

Devin took a deep breath and tried to release his power, but he couldn’t. Eve raised her eyebrows while looking at what Devin was doing.

“And what are you doing?” Eve asked.

“I’m trying to use my power...” Devin said.

“You’re going crazy. You know Reed put a shield here, right?” Eve asked. “Or maybe, you were just challenged because Reed was able to release power earlier?”

“Don’t bother me anymore,” Devin said.

Eve laughed. Later he grabbed her chin.

“I wonder what Dynhir’s plan is...” Eve said.

Devin glanced at her. “So you don’t know what he did?”

“Of course, I don’t know,” Eve said. “How do I know his plan?”

“You are close to each other. It means you know what’s going on.”

“I don’t know anything about his plan and what he did. Besides, what does the soldier say that Dynhir is afraid of something? What does that mean?”

Devin stopped what he was doing and turned to Eve. “He’s scared of baby Alex.”

“What? Why is he afraid of a cute, chubby, charming baby?”

“Why? Because he’s a half-blood.”

“And so?”

“So it is possible for him to be a threat to all of us. In humans and demons.” Devin said.

“I don’t understand what to be afraid of. If you’re thinking about the future, baby Alex hasn’t even been in the world for 24 hours. What can he do?”

“Reed is powerful, and Emy, she’s special, so that baby Alex will be a threat to both realms.”

“So, are you threatened like Dynhir?”

“Why am I afraid of my nephew?” Devin said, smiling. “I might even help him if he has plans.”

Eve frowned. “I want to talk to Dynhir. I’m going home.”

“No, don’t confront him.”

“And why?”

“Don’t do anything that will cause Reed to lose his trust in you,” Devin said. “Remember that even for what your cousin did to Emy, he didn’t feel sorry for you.”

Eve was stunned for a moment. It was the first time Devin had done that to her to stop her from doing something that could harm her.

“Fine, you said it,” Eve said.

“Come home later. Avery will cook Emy’s favorite, and I want to know and taste what it is.”

Eve raised an eyebrow. “Avery? That shaman?”

Devin nodded. “Yes, you’re here first, so you can eat too.”

“I do not want.”

“Why?”

“I don’t like that girl.”

Devin chuckled. “Why? Even though he’s a bit grumpy, he’s still kind. Also, we’re a perfect tandem. You know, a rebuke and a fighter.”

“You have sex with her next time.” Annoyed, Eve pushed Devin, which surprised the man.

Eve quickly walked out of the house while Devin was confused and just looked at her and scratched his head.

——

Emy and baby Alex were fast asleep when Eddie and Reed left the room. Emy’s siblings, including Marina, Anton, and Becky, were busy at the swimming pool. Avery is actively cooking, and Jasmin is his assistant. Eddie and Reed are sitting in the garden while Reed drinks wine and Eddie drinks juice.

“How is your health, Dad?”

“That’s fine, I guess,” Eddie said, laughing.

“Who, Dad, told you that Emy had given birth? Because we were so busy, I didn’t tell you what happened.”

“Ah, it’s Devin. He passed by the house when he brought the doctors who looked at Emy and the baby. I was a little surprised at what happened. I thought Emy gave birth at the hospital, but it was at home.”

“It’s happening so fast, Dad. Emy will not make it to the hospital if we keep her on the road. It’s good that Avery and Jasmin know how to give birth.”

“Because they grew up in the province, they may know much about that. Emy even talked about how beautiful their province is.”

Reed didn’t speak yet. He drank wine.

“Do you need help preparing the baby’s paper? If she had given birth in the hospital, worry less.”

“There’s no need, Dad. Emy and I can handle it. Besides, Avery and Jasmin are there.”

“Those two kids are brilliant. I didn’t think the three of them would get close to each other when they were working together before, right?”

Reed just nodded. Later Anton approached Reed and whispered.

“My king, King Eldron, has come to your old house. He wants to see the prince.” Anton whispered.

“Then pick them up the human way. Bring them here.”

Anton nodded and quickly left. Eddie looked at the sky.

“The weather seems strange. I can’t tell if it’s going to rain or shine.” Eddie’s hand was still on his eyes so the sun wouldn’t dazzle him too much.

Reed also glanced at the sky. Although the ordinary eye cannot see the strands of lightning in the black and red sky, people can feel the tension in the air.

“Tay, my father is coming.”

“Your father?” Eddie asked in shock. “I thought you were an orphan?”

Reed smirked. “My mother is gone, but my father is still alive. He lives far away, so he couldn’t attend my wedding with Emy.”

Eddie stood up suddenly. “Then I have to prepare food for him. Just a moment, and I will prepare food.”

.....

“Don’t worry, Dad.”

“Why not? Your father is coming to visit you, and he has only been here once, so it is necessary to prepare food for him.”

Eddie hurriedly left and went inside the house while Reed was in the garden.
