Chapter 22 The Real Lebery
Qiao Susu thought to herself that she didn't want to raise any.
The two of them were intimate for a while, and then Zongfang carried her to the bed to coax her to sleep, and talked to her about his dreams for the future for a while.
Two days later, Qiao Susu finally thought of a way to get Zongfang to take her back to Oslan.
"She was fine before I left, why did this happen?"
Zongfang asked anxiously, and Reinol answered timidly: "Dr. Zongfang, I really don't know why. Miss Sui Sui was eating when she suddenly complained of stomachache. We checked many times but couldn't find the cause."
Zong Fang ignored his nonsense and strode straight into her room. He saw a group of doctors and assistants surrounding the bed. Qiao Susu was lying on the bed. Her little face was pale, her whole body was wet with cold sweat because of the pain, and her hair was stuck to her neck and cheeks. His heart suddenly felt like it was hit by a hammer.
"Qiao Qiao, be good. Tell me where it hurts."
Qiao Suisui lay on her side, holding her belly, her lips bitten in pain. Half an hour ago, she had the system simulate the effects of labor pains.
"Zongfang, my stomach hurts so much, it seems like they are fighting inside." After saying that, he tilted his head back and closed his eyes in pain.
Zongfang's hand touched her belly, which was a little trembling at the moment. He tried to calm himself down, and then personally performed a series of examinations on her.
".It shouldn't be like that. It's clearly not the day for delivery yet."
Reinol glanced at the sweaty Qiao Suisui, mustered up his courage, and boldly stepped forward and said, "Could it be intrauterine engulfment?"
Intravital cannibalism refers to a situation where multiple cubs in a litter compete for nutrients from the mother. This usually happens when the female does not get enough nutrients. In order to survive, the cubs will eat their other siblings to protect themselves.
The midwife was puzzled and asked, "But Miss Sui Sui's daily nutritional intake is completely up to standard. How could she have swallowed the food in the fetus?"
Renoir said, "Could it be because of insufficient intake of male scent? Generally, females become pregnant after being marked by males, but Miss Sui Sui is an ancient human and has never been marked. In addition, she left the cub's biological father at the beginning of her pregnancy, so insufficient intake of male scent led to intrauterine devouring."
"Mongfang, I'm in pain."
Hearing her weak voice, Zong Fang, who had been silent all this time, tightened his jaw and struggled internally. He held her hand tightly, his silver eyes full of tenderness, and kept coaxing her softly.
"Qiao Qiao, the pain will go away soon. Don't worry, I will handle it. It's okay."
"Mongfang, will the baby die... I'm scared..."
In fact, Zong Fang’s first thought was how to make her feel less uncomfortable, not whether the cub would be okay. When he heard Qiao Susu ask this, he was in a trance for a moment.
"No, I won't let anything happen to you, and neither will my baby." He stroked her pregnant belly and kissed her forehead. Then he gave Qiao Suisui a sleeping pill, gently picked her up, and told Renoir beside him -
"Get ready. I'll take her to Atlantis."
Evening, Imperial Court.
Libery stood in front of the huge French window, looking down at the servants busy in the garden preparing the venue for the wedding ceremony in a few days.
In the darkness, he heard footsteps behind him. Without turning his head, he said, "Is everything settled?"
"Yes, thanks to your Highness, I have been reunited with my sister."
Libery turned around, shook the glass in his hand, and looked at Evan in front of him.
"That's good. It's worth my effort."
Evan's face was full of gratitude. His sister was an artificial female, a defective product of genetic incubation. She had insufficient intelligence and could only take care of herself with Evan's careful care.
Half a year ago, my sister was kidnapped by a male and has been missing ever since. The last time she was seen was at an auction organized by an underground organization. When Evan heard the news and rushed to the scene, my sister had already been bought. The other party was a nobleman. Evan tried many times but failed to rescue his sister. So he asked Princess Isabel for help, hoping to use her power to rescue his sister. But he served the princess at every turn, but his sister's matter was delayed again and again. It was Labry who followed the clues of the rumors spread on the nebula and found Evan, the mastermind behind it, and learned the whole story. Instead of sending Evan to federal prison, he helped him rescue his sister.
"Your Highness, I owe you such a great favor, and I will definitely repay it no matter what."
Liberi raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and smiled casually.
"Don't be anxious. Answer me a question first. You have been with Scorsese for ten years. Why didn't you ask him for help when something happened, but instead went to Isabel?"
Evan looked embarrassed and said, "The master's situation is not as good as the outside world imagines."
The implication is that it would be useless even if you begged him.
"Oh?"
"Since the Battle of the Two Wings, the master has suffered from sexual dysfunction and proposed to cancel the engagement with the princess. When Duke Scorsese learned about it, he was furious and even reprimanded the master in front of a servant like me, and threatened to take back his family emblem."
Liberi was surprised. It turned out that Luka had wanted to sever his relationship with the princess. The family emblem could command all the lion beastmen in the Scorsese tribe and had the right to vote on family affairs. It was a very important symbol. If his family emblem was really taken back, it would mean abolishing Luka as the heir, and Luka would never be able to raise his head in the family again.
Evan continued, "The master's badge has been missing since some time ago. I asked him about it privately, but he didn't respond. Judging from his reaction, it doesn't seem like he has lost it. I think the master has completely lost the right to inherit the Scorsese family."
"So that's why you went to ask Isabel for help. You really are playing with the wind. What does the badge look like?" asked Libery.
"Golden stars are inlaid on the five horizontal bars. It is something that the owner never leaves."
Liberi touched his chin and seemed to have some impression, but he had never participated in power struggles and didn't know much about these things.
"Evan, you've outsmarted yourself this time."
Evan's face changed slightly and he bent down to show that he was all ears.
"You only see Scorsese's loss of power, but ignore his strength. There is no male in the military who is a freeloader. They are all arrogant and aggressive. But this group of people are only respectful to Scorsese and never question his orders. Is it just because the Scorsese family is backing him up? If he didn't have the skills, he would have been kicked out long ago."
"And your move to find Isabel was a real bad move. She may seem supremely noble, but in fact she is just a tool used by your uncle for political marriage. Of her sixteen spouses, eight are from other member states of the Federation, and eight are from large families of the Oslan Empire. In addition, she has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, and she has not been able to cultivate any real feelings with these spouses. They are just taking what they need. What power do you think she has?"
After hearing this, Evan's face turned pale and he trembled as he said, "Your Highness, I...I didn't tell the princess about Miss Sui Sui's true identity. Maybe, maybe the master will give me a break for the past ten years?"
Libery laughed as if he heard a joke, holding his stomach. He wiped away the physiological tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
"You betrayed Scorsese and hurt the person he held in his hands. Do you think you can turn back?"
Evan fell to his knees, his mind in a mess.
Everyone said that His Highness Libery was dissolute, neglected by the royal family, and had no sense of existence. But today, Evan was greatly shocked. The usually talkative and playful Libery was gone. Evan looked at him and felt a fear from the bottom of his heart. That was the innate talent of those who wield power - manipulating people's hearts.
He crawled on his knees to Libery's feet, grabbed his trouser legs and begged for mercy.
"Your Highness, please give me a chance to live. I will be loyal to you from now on. I will do anything you ask me to do, Your Highness!"
Libery sat in the shadows, the wine glass in his hand reflecting a little in the moonlight. The second brightest thing was his eyes that were extremely sharp in the dark. His voice was still cynical, but when he looked at Evan, his expression was as majestic and cruel as that of a superior.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance, but you must seize it."
In the unlit and magnificent bedroom, Libery leaned forward, half of his body in the darkness and half in the moonlight. He whispered something in Evan's ear, whose eyes were filled with shock, struggle, despair and determination.
What do you think the beast form of Libery is?
