Chapter 277 - Daily life (2) (2/2)
”Y-you're...”
”I am what?”
”Pregnant...”
”What..?”
Chloe dropped her pen and looked at Mars with shock before she stood up and walked over to him and wiped his tears before she asked in a slightly shaky voice
”How do you know?”
”I can feel it, the new life...I was not sure before but now I definitely am”
Chloe trembled before a happy smile formed on her face and she hugged Mars tightly for a few moments before she asked again
”Are you really sure?”
”Really sure, never been more sure about anything in my life”
Chloe's eyes lit up before she once again hugged Mars tightly, while she hugged him she asked
”Why were you crying?”
Mars gave a wry smile
”Because I was convinced that this would never happen to me, some part of me didn't think I deserved children”
”How silly.... You are going to be the best dad ever!”
Mars gave a smile, one from the bottom of his heart
”Thanks Chloe, you are going to be the best mom too”
News quickly traveled, no one dared doubt Mars' observation so soon the entire palace was in a festive mood, Mars walked down the hallway with a big smile on his face, he was on the way to oversee the training of the guards, but when he arrived he was greatly surprised by what he saw and quickly walked over to Varvei and half pulled her off the training field, then he sat the slightly confused Varvei down and spoke
”No more training of the guards for you”
Varvei gave a frown and asked
”Why?”
”Because you're pregnant too”
Varvei dropped her long spear and just stared at Mars for a bit before her face lit up with joy and she hugged Mars tightly, a little too tightly given her strength but Mars didn't mind, some of the guards overheard it and quickly congratulated Varvei
”Thank you all very much... But Mars, what should I do for the next 9 months?”
”Hmm... I don't know, just not training”
Varvei gave a smile, Mars' concern for her touched her deeply so she just meekly gave a nod and spoke
”Okay”
Over the next few days Mars was understandably in a very good mood, nothing seemed to faze or bother him, he even showed a smile when he received a rather angry response from the NNE that promised death and destruction to all of Ular
”Is this really okay?”
”It's fiiine... It's just as I expected”
Mars was currently leaned back in a couch feeding peeled fruit to Varvei and Chloe that were snuggled up against him, he was currently living life, that is until he detected something on the edge of his perception a few hundred kilometers away from the city of Ular and gave a sigh
”what to do..?”
””Mars?””
”Don't worry it's nothing... Just that the army of NNE is approaching faster than I expected...”
color drained from Jane's face, Mars gave another sigh and spoke
”Don't worry, nothing's going to happen, well other than the annihilation of another one of the NNE's armies”
”I see... I'll put my trust in you lord Mars”
”Good...”
A few days later the army from the NNE had surrounded the city, Mars sat ready in his office for the show to get on the road or more precisely for the messenger that would ask him to surrender to arrive, he had been following set soldier/messenger with his perception for a while now but instead of hurrying to the palace and delivering his message he seemed to be harassing the people of Ular by telling them how they would be nothing but heads on poles in a few hours, Mars gradually got tired of this so he decided to appear in front of the messenger and disappeared from his office in a flash of light before he reappeared in front of the messenger and grabbed him by the neck
”You must be the messenger from the NNE, no..? I need you to deliver a message to your general”
”F.u.c.k... You! Ular will be NNE territory in a few hours!”
”Oh well... I suppose your mangled corpse will do just fine”
