Chapter 41 You are just a fake substitute

Surrounded by several male orcs, a graceful and elegant female noble came over, took a look at her belly, and smiled politely, "I am Marshall Brent. I have heard of the name of the noble lady Sanluo for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet her. I wonder if you could do me the honor of having a meal with me?"

Another one coming to offer free food.

Sang Luo agreed readily, "Obedience is worse than respect!"

Glenn Tuya looked at her in shock. Didn’t she just finish eating? Why was she hungry so soon?

"What about me?" He scratched his head, as if he had nothing to do.

"Teacher Tuya didn't even eat a few bites just now. Come over here. You don't have any classes in the afternoon anyway, so you can have some free time."

Marshall Brent looked at the two of them and said, "I have someone arrange a seat for you, so come over together. It will be more lively if there are more people eating together."

Others took the initiative to invite her, and the nobles were not short of this little money. Sang Luo was very polite in ordering food, and she only chose the meat. She ate with her mouth full of oil, and did not look like a noblewoman at all. If you didn't know, you would think that Caesar was abusing her.

Marsali Brent glanced at her belly, which was barely covered by her maternity clothes, and smiled, "...This baby must be of excellent quality."

She was from the carnivorous Black Panther tribe and knew that the more she ate during pregnancy, the more energy the fetus would need, and usually, the stronger its talent would be.

"Who knows? They are what they are when they are born. I don't care much about talent. No matter what talent or bloodline they have, they are my children."

Marshall Brent couldn't hide her envy. "Hey, you are really amazing. You got pregnant with the king beast's child so quickly. Even if this baby is just a mixed-blood beast, as long as that adult's genes account for the majority, the child's talent will not be too bad. I wonder how many noble children will be vying to marry you..."

"Not necessarily. If they saw how much I eat, they would be discouraged."

"Haha, being able to eat is a blessing. If you can't even feed your own cubs, what's the point of having them?"

After Sang Luo had eaten and drunk his fill, he lay down in a chair and chatted with Marshall Brent.

The other person didn't have the arrogance of aristocratic females, and gave people a very comfortable feeling. Of course, it could also be that this person had a high emotional intelligence and was extremely smooth. In any case, Sang Luo's first impression of her was still good. If you can make friends with her, then make friends. It's also good to make a few friends who can chat with you.

A petite white shadow rushed over very quickly. Sang Luo paused and heard chaotic footsteps outside the door.

Several burly male orcs ran over anxiously, but when they saw two noble ladies in the room, the leading orc showed fear and respect on his face, "Excuse me, ladies. I wonder if you two ladies saw the suspicious person coming in?"

Marsali Brent shook her head. "No."

Glenn Tuya and several of her companions also said they did not see anything.

Sang Luo retracted his overflowing spiritual energy, glanced under the tablecloth, and curled his lips slightly, "I didn't see it either."

"Oh, thank you so much, I'm sorry to bother you guys! Go look over there."

The orcs didn't dare to disturb them any further and left quickly.

Before Sang Luo left, he hugged the shivering white rabbit hiding under the table in his arms.

Marsali Brent exclaimed, "Why is there a rabbit here? Is it an orc or..."

Glenn Tuya was surprised and said, "It looks like an unintelligent beast. Normally, beastmen would not transform into beast form in this situation. It must be a rabbit that accidentally broke in and was scared of people, so it hid under the table."

Sang Luo nodded and touched the white rabbit with soft fur in his arms. The rabbit's tense body slowly relaxed.

“Madam, I finally found you. You haven’t been back for so long, I thought something happened to you!” Leon opened the door curtain and rushed in. He saw the snow-white rabbit in Sang Luo’s arms at a glance, and his leopard eyes suddenly lit up. “Wow, where did this rabbit come from? Let’s eat roasted rabbit tonight!”

Madam is so considerate. Knowing that he has been tired during this period, she still thinks of giving him food!
The rabbit suddenly got angry and jumped up, and Bang Bang punched him twice.

The Lyon people were stunned, "Yes, yes, yes... are they orcs?"

Sang Luo shook his head, "I don't know, I just picked it up."

The white rabbit jumped onto the lawn in the yard outside and ate the grass peacefully.

"It seems that you are not very popular with this little rabbit." Sang Luo walked out, hugged the rabbit in his arms again, and rubbed it. "It seems that it is really a low-level star beast that broke in accidentally. It can be considered a fate. Take it away and raise it."

“Ma’am, just rest assured and take care of the baby. Just let me take care of the rabbit. I’ll take care of it when I’m free!” Leon’s eyes lit up when he saw the snow-white little rabbit. He couldn’t wait to touch it. “This is the first time I’ve seen a white rabbit. It’s the same color as me!”

"Okay, I'll give it to you." Without waiting for Sang Luo to give him the rabbit, Leon held the rabbit in his arms as if it were a treasure and rubbed its snow-white and soft fur. The touch was really good. "Madam, do you want to give it a name?"

"Since you are so white, let's call you Xiaobai."

Well, she's a sucker at naming.

Sang Luo didn't expect that Leon was a hidden fur lover. He held the rabbit beast every day and took good care of it.

Sang Luo had raised two rabbits on Earth before. This kind of pet is easy to raise and does not require much trouble. There is a forest in the manor, and the rabbits are usually left there to graze on the grass, and they hardly need to be taken care of.

That day, several servants went to the kitchen with the food that had just been delivered.

The rabbit beast shook its ears and raised its front legs. An orc looked around and slipped into the kitchen.

It finished eating the grass in its mouth and followed.

The orc took out a small bag of colorless powder and poured it into the water...

When the man was about to turn around, it quickly ran away.

……

One and a half months have passed since the pregnancy, and her appetite has become stable. Sang Luo has to eat five or six meals a day, so the kitchen has been very busy these days.

An orc brought the meal up.

Sang Luo poured a glass of water and was about to drink it when a white shadow suddenly rushed up, knocked over the glass, and half of her skirt was wet.

Sang Luo's forehead jumped, and he grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted it up, "Looks like we'll have to add a spicy rabbit head to the meal tonight."

"Madam, how can you bully Xiaobai!" Leon suddenly appeared, snatched the rabbit beast and placed it on his head.

"You are really caring for it. The little rabbit just rushed up and knocked over the water."

When Leon heard this, he also got angry and slapped its butt, "You are too reckless, rabbit. My wife is pregnant. If she gets bumped by accident, we will have a spicy bunny head and a spicy leopard head."

Xiaobai hurriedly got out of his hands, jumped onto the table, raised his front paws, pretended to take a bite of the food, leaned back, and lay flat on the table.

"..."

"..."

Leon seemed to understand this abstract body language, his face suddenly turned cold, he took out a few containment bottles from the space, poured the remaining half cup of water into them, and took a few food samples, "...There may be something wrong with this food, Madam, wait a moment, I'll take it for testing!" After a while, he came back in a hurry, his face was very ugly, "Both the food and the water are poisonous!"

Sang Luo's eyes widened, "Someone poisoned me?"

“Well, this poison is very special. It can…” Leon carefully glanced at her face, “It can cause pregnant women to have miscarriages!”

"..."

"This drug will not cause a miscarriage immediately, but will slowly damage the fetus. If the cause cannot be found after taking it, people will only suspect that the miscarriage was caused by other accidents. If the dose is too high, it may even cause the mother and child to die when the birth is about to begin!"

Sang Luo stood up instantly. Who did this? So vicious and insidious.

"Madam, rest assured, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it!"

Then, the two of them turned their attention to Xiaobai.

"Tell me, who are you?" A being with this kind of intelligence cannot be a wild beast, it can only be an orc.

There was no point in hiding it any longer. The rabbit beast timidly spoke in human language, "Hey, can you give me a piece of clothing?"

Is it... a little female?
Leon was stunned.

After being surprised, Sang Luo handed over one of her skirts. The white rabbit crawled into the clothes and transformed into a young female with short white hair.

She has red eyes, a round face, very fair skin, and a very pretty and cute look, but a little thin.

Females are precious in the animal world, and the aesthetic taste tends to favor plump and strong beauty. The conditions in the tribe are not good, and occasionally some thin females can be seen, but in the Western Continent, Sang Luo rarely sees such thin females.

Leon's face suddenly flushed. He had been hugging her naked body and sleeping with her for so many days...

And, he spanked her!
"I, I'll go investigate first!" He changed into a beast and ran away.

"This leopard is really strange." Xiaobai turned his head and took a look.

"Don't worry about him." Sang Luo was interested. "What's your name?"

"Shelaine Towles Booth."

"..." The names of the orcs in the Western Continent are really hard to remember one by one. Sang Luo sighed, "I'd better call you Xiaobai. Do you mind?"

"Yes, ma'am, you can call me whatever you want. I don't like this name anyway." Xiaobai said obediently.

"Did those orcs capture you that day?"

"……Um."

"Why? What have you done wrong?"

"Those people want to capture me and take me back to participate in the genetic program instead of the family females. I, I don't want to be sent to the laboratory to create artificial females!"

"What? What does genetic females have to do with you?"

"Genetic females are bred with the DNA of viviparous females. Every year, the empire selects one person from the females with superior fertility and uses her blood to cultivate viviparous females. Our rabbit beasts have always had good fertility. Unfortunately, a female in the family was chosen this year. She is the only female cub that the clan leader loves the most. The clan leader does not want to hand her over. There is a risk of death in the experiment, so he wants to hand me over to replace the female with superior fertility." Xiaobai lowered his head, "I am an albino rabbit with only average fertility. Handing me over will not cause any loss to the family."

Sang Luo's expression was serious. It turned out that this was how artificial females were created. It was really crazy!
……

royal palace.

Princess' bedroom.

There was a crackling sound of something falling.

"Is the princess still making a fuss?"

When the servant saw Marshall Brent coming, he immediately put on a flattering smile and said attentively, "Miss Brent, you are finally here. We can't persuade the princess, so you should come and persuade her!"

"You guys go back first, I'll come and coax her. She's always had a weird temper." Marsali Brentwin said with a smile.

After the servants left, Marsali Brent walked into the room, looked at the broken porcelain on the floor, then looked at Sophie Asate, who was sitting on the bed with a swollen face from crying, and her smile faded. "...Did you poison that female?"

"Why, you want to stop me? I tell you, it's impossible!" Sophie Asate was almost dying of jealousy, "She actually dared to snatch Caesar away, and... and that baby! She got pregnant so quickly? I will never allow the baby in her belly to be born!"

"madness."

Marshall Brent sat down beside the bed and poured a cup of tea, her posture elegant. "...I met her a few days ago. It is very likely that her baby is more than half Caesar's blood. The talent of a mixed-blood offspring will not be low, and he is qualified to be the heir."

"Then I can't let that litter of children be born!"

"Caesar values ​​this offspring very much, and they are watching it very closely. After the last accident, it is even more impossible for you to successfully intervene. Besides, it is the offspring of a natural king beast. Even if it is a hybrid beast, its vitality is far superior to others. Even if the plan succeeds, it may not be possible to cause her to miscarry."

"..."

"Fortunately, the orc you sent last time bit his tongue and committed suicide, so the mastermind was not found. If it happens again, and it really leads to you, do you think you can withstand the wrath of a king beast?"

Marsali Brent drank her tea slowly and continued, "Males value their offspring the most. To frame the offspring of a king beast is no different from taking his life. Even if you succeed, you will not survive once you are discovered."

"Then, what should we do?"

Sophie Asatay's eyes flashed with panic, and she gritted her teeth, "Otherwise, let this child stay. I only want to get Caesar, but that female must die!"

"Even if she died, Caesar would never marry another female in order to raise his offspring." Marsali Brent sneered, "No matter how hard you try, it's useless."

"But I won't give up!"

"What if you're unwilling? Do you really think you can compare to others?"

Sophie Asate stood up, angrily saying, "I am a princess, how can I be inferior to her! A female rat! How can she be compared with me!"

"Heh, even if you're just a female mouse, you're still a legitimate viviparous female. Who do you think you are?"

Marsali Brent took out a file and handed it to her, "Take a good look at how you got the title of princess."

After Sophie Asate opened the file and read it, her body began to tremble and she was speechless.
"How...how is it possible..."

"Why do you think the old Beast King chose you as his princess and married you to Caesar?" Marsali Brent smiled gently. "Do you remember? The real Sophie Asate died a long time ago. You are just a fake replacement."
