707 Sensing (1/2)
The royal palace.
Timo and his mother, as well as Fang Yuan, were all present.
Fang Yuan had on a long noble robe with a golden crown on his head, exuding an indescribable majestic feeling.
The baroness fiddled with her handkerchief nervously and looked toward Fang Yuan.
At the moment, she had no choice but to admit that the achievements of this son-in-law far exceeded her imagination.
Not only did he stabilize a duchy for her own son, he even established the Orchid Dynasty. It was practically a dream.
Of course, the faces of the three on the scene similarly carried a worried expression.
A woman's hysterical shouts occasionally came out from the delivery room in front of them.
”I hope Tanya's delivery will be smooth.” Timo tightly clenched his fists.
The great matter that gathered all three of them was naturally Fang Yuan's wife, the current Queen Tanya, being about to give birth.
To the baron's family, this was undeniably very important.
After all, Fang Yuan's identity was already different—the king of a nation.
With Tanya's identity, he was slightly out of her league. Whether she could successfully deliver a son would affect the relations between the duchy and the kingdom. Its political significance was very important.
Sometimes, the world was simply this involuntary.
Even if Tanya herself was unwilling, she still bore the burden of many expectations.
Wa! Wa!!!
Finally accompanying a shrill scream, the delivery room descended into silence. Not long after, an infant's loud cry was heard.
”Your Majesty!”
A few wet nurses wearing black dresses came out while carrying a bundle of swaddling cloth and bowed to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows. Although he had sensed it with his spiritual will long ago, he still asked, ”How's Tanya?”
The baroness was already too impatient to wait and walked forward to ask, ”Boy or girl?”
”Congratulations, Your Majesty. The kingdom has a successor!”
The wet nurses carefully passed the bundle to Fang Yuan.
”It's a boy. That's great!”
The baroness and Timo had an ecstatic look while Fang Yuan similarly smiled.
In truth, he felt nothing in his heart.
Hmm, very pure! Seems like he really didn't inherit an ounce of my divinity nor power!
At the moment, his spiritual will was only inhibiting this body, and coupled with intentional restraint, what flowed inside this infant's body was truly the bloodline of that hunter Luhn.
You should have originally died. Instead, I used your body to further your bloodline for you. Your descendants will have the riches and honor of a kingdom. This is considered fair repayment for you!
Fang Yuan muttered in his heart, feeling the final traces of karma from spiritual possession slowly melting.
”In my name!” However, he still made an emotional expression and raised the infant high up. ”He is my son and will have the name of Arthur!”
That night, in order to celebrate the birth of the successor, a huge banquet was immediately organized within the palace.
All of the capital nobles, as well as the churches of the Harvest Goddess and Joy Goddess, sent people to present gifts.
Whether or not there was a successor indeed caused tremendous effects on a regime.
However, Fang Yuan was already unconcerned about it.
After quickly putting in an appearance and interacting a little with the guests, he went to the study and heard Garce's report.
”The suppression army emerged victorious again? Very good. Since these nobles dare defy me, I will completely revoke their fiefs and titles to gift to the loyal soldiers of the kingdom!
”There will be some little tricks done by the Church of Harvest and Church of Joy. We don't need to worry about them…
”Movements from the other monitored churches… Mother Earth Goddess Meira?”
…
Seeing this intelligence, Fang Yuan descended into a deep contemplation.
Mother Earth Goddess Meira was also one of the Nine Pillar Gods.
What was known as the Nine Pillar Gods represented a strong power and an age-old identity. They could be considered the strongest entities among all the Gods.
”Sun, Storm, Earth, Sky, Harvest, Knowledge, Life, War… and finally Death!” Fang Yuan quietly mentioned the nine age-old Godhoods and a slightly mocking smile appeared. ”As the Death God, Hess was actually the first to die. How ironic!”
Death could also die. In the Monger World, this was not just a cold joke.
”The Harvest Lady is preparing to build her headquarters in the Orchid Dynasty and excluding the other churches. This is reasonable. But the transfer of the Mother Earth Goddess believers doesn't seem right. There must be a secret within…”
Fang Yuan had a slight intuition and his smile instantly expanded. ”Another Son of Destiny?”
After controlling the Noether Kingdom, intelligence regarding Son of Salvation Heim naturally arrived in Fang Yuan's hands.
He did not regret missing this by a bit. If that Heim had been so easily snuffed, it would mean that he was not destined for it.
”Furthermore, this transfer by the Mother Earth Goddess…”
Fang Yuan opened Apophis' perception and instantly knew that there was a bizarre Son of Purgatory that had also left the Noether Kingdom.
As the divinity's source, all the Sons of Purgatory had nowhere to hide before his eyes.
