Chapter 2087 Safely Endangered (Part 3)
"You are the best daughter-in-law I could ask for, Kamila. May the gods bless you and the baby." Elina said.
"We can do that, but do you realize that it's just bullshit?" Salaark asked. "Words are just words, it's our physical presence that matters."
"Stop ruining this for me!" Elina still had a hard time accepting that the gods she had become used to calling upon ever since she was a child were now right in front of her.
She dragged Lith with her, leaving Kamila alone with the crowd.
For someone with no family, being surrounded by strangers that were all smiles and nice with her was beyond creepy. She had met only a few of the guests on the day of her second marriage ceremony and they had just exchanged pleasantries.
Now every one of them wanted to congratulate her, hold her, and of course, touch her womb to look at the baby with Invigoration.
Kamila tried everything she could to escape the encirclement but the Dragons and Phoenixes gave her no quarter until they had what they had flown across Mogar for.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Lith asked, but Elina just kept dragging him toward a huge table filled with beverages of all kinds.
Raaz was sitting in a chair, holding a drink in one hand while with his other arm he embraced Leegaain. Both man and Guardian were clearly drunk from one toast too many and bawling their eyes out.
"My baby boy is going to become a father." Raaz repeated in-between hiccups to anyone who tried to take the glass away from him.
"I can't wait for that little love bean to grow." Leegaain said amid tears. "There are so many things that I want to teach them. I'm going to be a grandfather again!"
"Okay, what the heck is going on?" Lith couldn't bear his father's wails whereas the Guardian's cries were literally bursting his eardrums once he had entered the Hush zone that surrounded the table.
"I get that Dad has become emotional since he waited years for this moment, but the old lizard? He can't stand me, he never could. Why is he acting this way?"
"Because even though he doesn't think of you as someone of his kind due to the way you acquired his blood, the baby is a different story." Milea Genys, the Magic Empress replied.
"They are blameless, carrying a pure and stable bloodline that branched off Leegaain's. He couldn't love them less even if they were his own."
"Really?" Lith asked in disbelief.
"Really. The fact that he almost razed the Empire to the ground when the baby was attacked speaks volumes about his feelings." Milea nodded. "Congratulations, by the way. Consider yourself an honorary citizen of the Empire.
"Our borders will always be open for you and your family."
"Thanks." Lith offered her his hands, freezing up when she disregarded it and hugged him. "Wait, what?"
Milea didn't reply, letting him go just to throw him into Surtr's arms.
"I can't believe you followed my advice so quickly, little brother. Let's toast to the first of many Demons."
"I beg your pardon?" The moment Surtr let go of Lith, a glass filled with an amber-colored liquid was shoved in his hand which he was then forced to drink.
