Chapter 254 I Met Your Illegitimate Son

Three days later, the temple messenger arrived as promised.

Only two people came this time, the archbishop and the young holy envoy with spectacles on his face.

Everyone outside the hall withdrew, leaving only three people confronting each other.

"Your Majesty, have you thought it through?"

Duotu's face turned pale. "I have thought about this seriously over the past three days... You can take this empire if you want. I don't need anything here as long as I can keep my son."

The archbishop was also stunned for a moment and looked at the young saint beside him.

The young man said, "Your Majesty has worked hard over the years to govern the empire in an orderly manner. We have all seen it. No one is more suitable than you to be the ruler of this country."

He looked at the little lion in Duotu's arms again.
"Without the empire as a bargaining chip, Your Majesty would really not be able to leave behind any offspring."

"What exactly do you want to do!" Duotu's anger, which had been suppressed for several days, completely erupted.

These people in the temple are so high and mighty and look down on everyone. How can they take his son away from him so easily? On what basis?
He only has this son, why should his son be taken back?

"Except for this thing you can't take away, I can give you everything else!"

Hephis jumped down from Duotu's arms and begged the two holy messengers, "Please don't take me away. I won't go with you! I just want to stay with my father. If you...if you force me to leave, I will! I will kill myself!"

After saying that, it actually looked around, selected a white, solid pillar, kicked up its hind legs, and pretended to rush towards it.

"Heh." The young man seemed amused and raised his hand to create a golden barrier.

Even at a young age, he's already threatening people.

Of course, Hephis didn't intend to really bump into them, he just wanted to scare them.

But if you really push them into a corner, children will be impulsive by nature, which can be frightening.

The archbishop was also a little overwhelmed.

The child was determined not to go with them, and there was nothing they could do. Taking him with them by force might backfire and make this rare and precious offspring hate them, which was not what the Temple wanted to see.

The young man spoke in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, if you don't want to leave, we won't force you. But please remember, Your Majesty, the only faith of the angels is the Temple. They have served the Temple for generations and dedicated everything to it, even... their lives."

Duotu's face was cold. This time he was asked to swear an oath, making him, Hephis who would succeed him in the future, and the entire Alans Empire become their loyal lackeys.

He looked at the ignorant child, and after a long while he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

The archbishop nodded in satisfaction. "In this case, the Temple can rest assured that the heir will grow up in the Empire. However, Your Majesty, please hand the child over to us first. We must take the child back to the Temple, and after we have enlightened the child, we will return him to Your Majesty."

Duotu naturally knew about the inheritance of the angels. The orcs who did not obtain the inheritance of the angels before transforming would not be able to possess the power of the bloodline even if they awakened the angel bloodline.

He also figured it out last night. Hephes was his most precious bloodline, and he could risk his life for this child... He could not forcibly cut off its wings that were flying towards the sky for his own selfish desires.

"Yes, I trust the decision of the Temple, but I also ask the Temple to sign a heaven-earth contract with me to ensure that after Qiming is completed, the child will be returned to me."

Archbishop, "Of course you can. I will personally make the covenant with Your Majesty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Duotu turned his head and looked at the young Holy Envoy in a plain white robe beside the Archbishop. His clothes were no different from those of the other Holy Envoys, but his instinct told him that this man was definitely not simple. Even the Archbishop showed a hint of respect for him.

"This king wants to make a heaven-earth contract with this holy envoy."

The archbishop was about to speak in a harsh voice, but the young man raised his hand to stop him and said gently, "I will follow your majesty's wishes."

A magnificent golden magic circle appeared under the feet of the two people, and then the magic circle turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the void.

The oath between heaven and earth is complete.

"Now, Your Majesty can rest assured to leave the heir to us." The young man stretched out his hand to him.

A slender white hand stretched out from the complicated and heavy holy robe, with distinct joints, beautiful as a work of art carefully carved by a god.

"Hephis, come here." Dotu squatted down and picked up the little lion that ran over. He looked at it carefully for a long time, kissed it on the head, and handed the child to them with a cold face.

The young man hugged the tense little lion, gently stroked its soft fur with his beautiful and slender fingers, and asked casually, "Who is the mother of this child?"

Duotu's face changed slightly, and his voice was extremely cold, "She died unexpectedly during childbirth, and she has been dead for many years."

"Oh, is that so? What a poor child..." The young man's fingers fell in front of the little lion, and the child fell asleep in his arms unknowingly.

Duotu's heart suddenly rose, but when he saw that the child was fine and just fell asleep, he managed to calm down and said, "Please ask the Holy Envoy to return the child as promised." "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

The two of them took the child into the void and disappeared.

Duotu looked in the direction they left. After staring for a long time, his whole body seemed to slowly lose strength and he slid down the wall to the ground.

……

Outside the world, the temple.

The young man carried the child into a courtyard.

A beautiful female angel is watering flowers in the backyard.

She has long golden hair that shines like the sun, rosy pink eyes, and wears a veil, through which it is not difficult to see the softness and delicacy of her face. The pair of folded white wings behind her makes people hold their breath and dare not look directly at her sacred beauty.

"Aunt Anano, I brought back the cub that was lost outside."

"You went down there in person." The female took the kettle in her hand and looked towards the door.

"After all, it is a rare bloodline in the clan." The young man picked a red rose casually, and his voice was low and pleasant, like a slowly played cello, "Also, I have seen your illegitimate son who is wandering outside. It turns out that he is also..."

The feminine's soft face suddenly turned ferocious, and she interrupted sternly, "Don't mention him to me!"

“It’s been so many years.”

Ananuo sneered, "I will never forget this stain in my life. I gave birth to such a mixed-blood illegitimate child. I should have strangled him to death back then!"

Her emotions became more and more crazy. "As long as he lives, I will remember his damn disgusting father! What did he do to me? Not only did he imprison me in the palace for so many years! He also killed Mithras!"

Young man, "Eugali Alans died seven years, one month, and three days ago."

Anano's expression gradually calmed down.

After a moment, he only said one word.

"A good death!"

"Please take a look at this child, auntie. Its angel bloodline is inherited from you." The young man handed the sleeping little lion in his arms to her.

Anano's expression was cold, "Another unlucky lion."

Although he expressed disgust, he reached out and hugged his grandson.

The teen smiled, "It's cute, isn't it?"

When Anano stroked the white wings on the little lion's back, her pupils suddenly dilated, as if she had seen something horrible. She threw the little lion in her arms to the ground and screamed,
"Get out! Get away and stop bothering me!"
