206 Promotion (1/2)

News of Eva being pregnant caused a great stir inside Luis' office.

Many people congratulated the family and looked forward to the birth of the child. The matter of Eva carrying twins were kept as a secret as the family agreed upon.

After considering the matter properly, Raven decided to accept Morel's service but there are some changes to it. Instead of protecting him, he want Morel to protect his mother and eventually his siblings. Due to both him and Luis having matters to attend to, Raven would feel more at ease knowing that there is a formidable person by her side protecting her. If Morel agreed to his proposition, then his siblings' situation would be somewhat similar to Balmung and Luna since they have Old Lee by their side.

As a father himself, Morel didn't oppose this idea. It was then that he took an oath of service to Eva.

Raven was thrilled by this, as a result, he personally called over Joanna and gave her instructions to make her a future powerhouse. He identified her spirit entity and gave her cultivation arts as well as body arts. Joanna only reached Bone Tempering Stage, due to her being young, she was more than capable on restarting her cultivation, which she did without even batting an eye.

After giving her clear instructions, Raven left and decided to enter the Crown Space to train himself.

As soon as Raven woke up, he received news that the Prince required his presence. He had a light a breakfast and took a quick bath before going over to the Royal Palace since the Prince wanted to meet him there.

Come to think of it, this is the first time that Raven visited the Royal Palace after his Soul Rebirth.

Upon arrival, he noticed that nothing much had changed from what he remembered. The Royal Palace is still the sign of the highest authority for the Kingdom. It's still as grand and as majestic as ever.

Once he arrived at the Palace Gates, he was stopped by the Royal Guards. After confirming his identity, he was granted entrance and was guided towards the place where the appointment will happen.

He was surprised to see that it wasn't just him who were waiting at the Prince's office. His friends were there too! They obviously arrived earlier than him. And of course, Luna was there too and she wasn't wearing her regular disguise.

Raven's heart sped up for a bit, no matter how many times she see her in her true appearance, he will always be left in awe from her beauty.

Luna also felt his stare but all that she could think about was her boldness back then. A blush crept out of her face which made her break eye contact with him.

”What's up with this pink atmosphere?” Ellen teased, which rendered a reaction from the two. Both of them acted awkwardly around each other which somewhat raised the girls' suspicions.

”You girl! You just have to go ahead and ruin it don't you? Ai!” Anne dramatically said, which again invoked reaction from the two.

Paul, being nosy as he is, scooted towards Raven's side and whispered the question: ”Hey! What's up with you two? Why are you guys acting strange? Wait! Don't tell me…holy shit, you two did it-Ow!”

Before Paul could even finish what he was about to say, Raven's left palm found its way on to the back of his head. He then said: ”Oh! My bad, dude. It's just that my hand automatically reacts whenever I'm faced with a perky idiot. It's very instinctual you see?”

His sarcastic remarks was more than enough to silence Paul. Mark just chuckled seeing this happened but he was quite curious too so he asked: ”But really, what's going on?”

Raven sighed and looked the other way, he then answered: ”Nothing much, just…I'm not used to it.”

Mark tilted his head and replied; ”Not used to what?”

”Her not wearing the disguise and…” Raven paused and cleared his throat, ”…being that pretty and all.”

His voice wasn't particularly hushed and was heard by the rest. Luna for one, immediately blushed hard and looked away, pretending to not hear his words. However, she was screaming inwardly. It was now clear to her he was staring and became conscious.

Ellen and Anne practically squealed which taking turns poking Luna's sides, much to the annoyance of the young princess who could do nothing but to slap their hands and glare at them.

It was then that the jolly atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. All of them looked up and surprised when they saw Victor stepping out.

”Good morning, Director!” The children greeted upon seeing him, it was obvious that they weren't expecting him to be here.

”Good morning to you as well.” Victor greeted back. ”Come, Master is waiting for you inside.”
