Chapter 153



“I’m fine. You don’t need to help me.” Emy couldn’t stop giggling at what Reed was doing. He sat her carefully in the dining chair while Becky was preparing their food at the table.

Reed sat down next to her. Avery and Jasmin were on the other side of the table.

“It’s so envious. Haist, when will I be able to find a boyfriend.” Jasmin said.

“Don’t look for the boyfriend because if he is meant for you, he comes to you willingly,” Avery said.

Jasmin frowned. “I’ve been waiting for a long time, and no one is coming.”

Avery chuckled. “Because you’re waiting. It’s just like this. Isn’t it when you’re looking for something that you don’t see even though you look for it because you’re looking for it, but when you forget it, you suddenly see it when you don’t need it anymore? It’s the same with waiting. Don’t wait.”

“It’s taking a long time because maybe later I’ll wither from waiting,” Jasmin said.

“Would you like some coffee, my king?” Becky asked. She then looked at Emy. “What would you like to drink, my queen?”

.....

“Coffee for me and fresh blood for the queen,” Reed said, then nodded. Becky immediately turned around to prepare Reed’s coffee.

Jasmin gulped and salivated. “Miss Emy, don’t you get tired of drinking blood? You might get used to drinking that and forget that humans don’t drink blood.”

“Nothing can be done because my son needs it,” Emy said.

Avery turned to Reed. “Sir,” Emy and Reed turned to her. “Sir, isn’t it dangerous for Miss Emy when she gives birth?”

Reed glanced at Emy. “Miss Emy’s body has lost a lot of weight. She has aged a few years in her appearance because she eats more demon food than human food.” Avery said.

“I agree with him, Sir Reed,” Jasmin said.

“I can handle it. Don’t worry too much, okay?” Emy said, smiling.

“But Miss Emy, I think your baby is stronger than you. Have you seen yourself in the mirror?” Avery asked.

“Avery is right. You should have a check-up before giving birth, right?” Jasmin said. “Sir Reed, aren’t you worried about Miss Emy?”

Reed turned to his wife and stared at her. Emy’s body was very different from her previous body. He is also worried about Emy’s condition even more, and that angel said something to him. Her life would be in danger if she gave birth. He also knows their baby is stronger than Emy, and Emy may die during childbirth, as the angel said. He will not allow anything to happen to Emy and his son.

“There is only one way for me to save Emy,” Reed said.

Avery’s eyes widened. “No, don’t tell me that, Sir...”

Reed took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “If I don’t have any choice. I won’t let either of them get hurt. My wife or my son.”

“But Sir...” Jasmin said. She turned to Emy, “Miss Emy do you want to become a demon?”

Emy was stunned. She doesn’t know what will happen when she gives birth, but it’s like Avery said. She feels that the baby in her belly is stronger than her and that her life may be in danger. But will Emy agree to become a demon? She didn’t think she could become a demon even though she had dreamed of becoming an angel since childhood. Emy took a deep breath.

“Let’s not talk about that matter. There’s no need to worry about it now. You’re just making me worry.” Emy said.

“Ah, I’m sorry, Miss Emy,” Avery said.

Emy smiled. “It’s fine. I was wondering if you’re both okay with staying here at home until I give birth?” Emy glanced at Reed.

“That’s a good idea,” Reed said. “Is that okay with you?”

Jasmin’s eyes widened. “But Sir, don’t we have a job at...”

“Online will do. You can work from the home base. Also, I can visit the office and the branches anytime, so don’t worry.” Reed glanced at Emy. “I think you can also help Emy not to be sad or bored.”

The two women nodded. “But, Sir, we’re still going to get paid, aren’t we?” Jasmin asked.

“I’ll think about it,” Reed said.

“Huh? Sir...” Jasmin said.

Emy giggled at Jasmin’s reaction. Avery just smiled, but the smile also disappeared after a while. She glanced at Emy and then took a deep breath.

‘I never thought I would be your enemy, Miss Emy.’ Avery thought.

Reed glanced at Avery when he heard what Avery was thinking. He understands that Avery is a shaman but is it right for him to entrust Emy to him? After dinner, they sat on the living room sofa to watch Jasmin’s new favorite TV series. Reed didn’t watch them. Instead, he just stood at a distance watching the three girls. Reed couldn’t take his eyes off Avery. He knew it was good for them and even for Emy, but as a shaman, he was sure that even if Avery were close to Emy, he would be able to kill or hurt Emy.

Reed put his hands in his pockets and continued to watch them. Becky approached Reed and handed him a glass of wine. Reed took it.

“Do you have anything else to order, my king?”

“Are you going somewhere?”

“I’ll go around the grounds, my king,” said Becky. “Last night, I noticed a strange power in your room.”

“You noticed. Why didn’t you come in or knock?”

“There’s something different about the aura. I can’t distinguish if it belongs to the baby or the queen.”

Reed frowned. “What? What are you talking about?”

“Maybe you don’t feel it because you are always with the queen, my king, but there is a strange aura about the queen, and it is not familiar to me.”

Reed glanced at Emy. He was staring at his wife, who seemed to enjoy watching because she was laughing. He wondered if the aura Becky felt last night was with the angel who visited him.

“Tell me what you notice,” said Reed.

“The queen, two auras surround her body. Maybe one is because of the baby.” Becky glanced at Reed. “The shaman is right, my king, one of them may die. The queen’s body is weak, and she may be unable to endure giving birth. The queen’s aura is too weak.”

“I didn’t expect your instincts to be so strong.” Reed turned to Becky. “Maria seems to have trained you well.”

Becky smiled. “If you think, my king, that I can betray you like what she did, that is impossible.”

“Impossible? That’s what Maria said before she betrayed me.”

“I saw how you ruled in the realm even though you were busy here. Contrary to what the general told us. Perhaps she was also blinded by...” Becky was stunned for a moment.

“Go on with what you want to say, Becky,” Reed said seriously.

“My king, a demon is encouraging the soldiers and other demons to rebel against your rule.”

“Tell me who.”

Becky shook her head. “General just told us, but she didn’t mention any names, but she did say that when you lose the throne, the demons will be free.”

“Did she mention who set me up in the war?”

“General didn’t say anything, my king. You can ask Anton and Marina. I’m sure the general encouraged them just like me.”

“Then I want to talk to them. Tell them to come to the house at nine in the evening.”

Becky nodded. “I’ll go around the house first, my king.”

Reed nodded, and Becky walked out of the house. Reed stood in the distance, watching the three women. He watched the ice slide inside the wine glass as he swirled it in his hands.

——–

The three women were still busy watching television when Reed left the house. He informs Emy that he will leave the garden and the woman nods in agreement. Emy even glanced at the wine glass he was holding.

Outside, Anton, Marina, and Becky are standing in the garden. They are talking, but there is no doubt about their reactions. Reed thinks Becky is talking to the two about what he might ask them. The three turned to Reed. Reed stopped three meters away from them.

“My king, Becky mentioned what you are asking about what the general told us before,” Anton said.

“Spill it out.”

“General didn’t mention a name, my king, but she said that your enemy is close to you. When I asked who it was, she didn’t say anything.”

“That’s what the general told me, my king. She even mentioned that you ended up in the last war you led.” Marina said. “That’s why she was so disappointed with what happened when you came back wounded but alive and safe.”

“Maria didn’t say who my enemy is?”

The two soldiers shook their heads. “General didn’t mention anything, my king. The information she told us was limited.”

Reed took a deep breath and took a drink before speaking again.

“Why didn’t you listen and join her assembled army to betray me?” Reed asked. “I’m sure you’ve had second thoughts.”

“As I said earlier, my king, your actions proved that what the general told us was just a lie,” said Becky.

“Can the general not call you Maria? I get irritated whenever you call her respectable after what she did to betray me.”

“My opinion of Becky is different, my king,” Anton said. “It’s true that I had second thoughts when the general tried to convince me... Maria, my king. I used my mind to do what was good for me, and I chose you, my king.”

Reed smirked. “You had second thoughts, but you still chose me.”

“Because I noticed something wrong with Maria,” Anton said. “The way of persuasion, my king, she didn’t mention anything she learned from you before. I thought she had a secret grudge against you, and despite your trust in her, one sinful mouth made her forget everything.”

“What do you expect from a demon? Maria just proved that she is a demon, didn’t she?”

Anton did not speak. “I know what made Maria betray you, my king...”

Reed turned to Marina. “What?”

“Her younger brother Dwayne died when you took him to the first war you led before you became a king.”

Reed frowned as he remembered the war Marina was referring to.
