Drake slowly walks to the bedroom. Elian is waiting for him.

"Drake! What happened? Why are you just coming back now? Did...did you decided you want to marry that woman instead? Are you here to break up with me? Should I call Mom and Dad?"

"Hey. Hey. Stop worrying. I just went to work after my meeting."

"You went to where?" Elian rolls his eyes. " Wow Mr.Carefree. Aren't you suave?"

Drake lips twitch. "I just have alot of time and I need to work anyways."

"How did your meeting goes?"

"Well, you don't have to worry. I heard the baby died."

"........"

Drake went to change his clothes but Elian grabs him back

"What do you mean? What happened? And excuse me, who is happy so hear a baby dying?!"

"I am not happy too. I just thought you will be relieve."

"No. No way I will be! What kind of a person I am in your head."

"Wait. Why are you getting mad?" Drake frowns.

Elian grits his teeth. "Tell me what happened."

"She is confident the baby is mine. So I am not worried and I told her I want to give the baby mana. Though there's no imprint of my mana on the baby I just thought its because my mana and Marian's mana collides making ot impossible for me to tell in one look so I proceed in giving mana. And the baby thought I was attacking and it was hurt inside. They went to the hospital but the baby dies."

"....you killed it?"

"Wait. What? I ask her and she said it was mine. As a royal blood, we won't be inferior to any mana and won't be harmed so easily by others mana yet it 'attack'her baby it means it was not my baby."

"Maybe she just doesn't know it was yours. Can't you check first before you inject mana!" Elian angrily said.

"Why am I the villain here? I am the victim right? She wants to lie to me."

"Still. It's a life." Elian trembles and cried. "Such a soft and fragile life."

"It's 3 months? Not even an as big as my hands."

Elian glares at him. "How can you say that? You ...aren't you a parent too? Don't you know how painful it was to loose your baby?"

Drake is stunned.

"If you are like this and God hears you. We lose our child so he can teach you a lesson. I will kill you myself!"

Elian went to bed and cried.

Drake is stunned. He isn't really the one that killed the baby. It was by his hand but it was not by his device. And this God is so malicious that he would kill his child so spite on him?

After changing his clothes, he climbs to the bed and hugs Elian.

"Hey."

"Im sorry. Im just heartbroken for the baby. You have to make sure the baby have a decent burial okay? So pitiful ah."

Drake wipes his tears. He thought....Elian is too fragile right? There are what...20 fetus that is dying every 1 minute in the entire Universe 32. As someone like him who has lost comrades and friends while fighting in the war, he really doesn't feel anything.

But maybe it was because it was not someone he values? 'If it was our child',his mind is full of that question. He slowly slips his hand on Elian's belly. Elian is already asleep with a tear in his eyes.

He slowly gives the baby mana.

Then he paused. He continued and pause. Making sure the baby inside is not hurting.

Drake sighs. "You are making me feel so many weird emotions." He says and snuggles in Elian's neck. "This God of yours, can he really do that?" He squints his head and call Freed.

Freed answers but he didn't bother moving out of his bed.

"Make sure to give Marian's fetus a burial. A thousand soldier should fire and salutes."

".......Is it really your child? I thought you dont care."

"It's for my baby's sake."

"Pardon?"

"It was to appease the God."

"....pardon?"

"Just do it."

"Ofcourse."

Drake ended the call. He slowly close his eyes.

After 3 days, the whole Universe 32 heard about the fetus burial for the General's grandson. It was a grand event that a thousand soldier perform respectful salute and the whole Capital Planets have a day off from work in the memory of the young faded life. The rumor says it was the Duke of Wrose son. Some says it was killed by the Duke of Wrose. Some says it was a plot by the Fredrist. Killing the baby of the Duke so he will not have any other woman aside from the Fredrist.

Alot of people maliciously cursed at him. Such a young innocent fetus was killed because of jealousy.

Drake makes sure to stop all malicious rumors and divert Elian's attention from it.

"This is getting out of hand." Crowen glares at Drake.

"Don't worry. I already told the General to stop his daughter maliciously spreading false rumor or I will release the real thing that happened." Drake said.

"Duke, if this affect my son. I will not give the general face and slap the truth to their faces." Eliza said angriily.

Drake nods. "Its fine. I will protect the Fredrist."

"Good." Crowen rolls his eyes but Eliza elbows him.

Elian is playing online when he received a call. Elian thinks first before accepting it. But in the end, this is the first unregistered number he got and got curious.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Are you Elian Fredrist?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"I am the Marian Sachel. How are you murderer?"

"......excuse me?" Elian squints his eyes.

"I hope your baby dies too. Just like you ask the Duke to do to my baby!"

Elian touches his belly and rubs it as if telling it not to worry.

Elian angrily glares at the phone. First it was not him who told Drake to do it. And Drake is not someone who would kill a baby, he even said if it has potential, even if its not his, he will adopt the baby as his own. So its really not intentional.

Elian press the record button.

"Excuse me, but as far as Im concern Drake didn't harm the baby nor I tell him to do so. If you are not a liar who would tell him the baby is his, he won't do something as give the baby mana."

"Ahhahahha. Are you that afraid of my baby? Its obviously mine and the Duke's baby! He attacked the baby so he won't grow up and compete with your baby!"

"You! How can you say something so horrible? Why would I do that? If it's Drake's baby then I will protect it!"

"Lies! Lies! You all in cahoots to kill my baby! Baby killer! Murderer! Your baby should die too! And you. You die too."

Elian is so mad. "You! My baby has nothing to do with this! You and I have nothing to do with each other! You curse my baby! You bitch! I will not fight you back since Im a parent who wants my baby to become a decent person, I need to set an example for him. That is why I will not talk to you anymore. I hope you recover fast. I also hope your baby will be reincarnated and be happy in his next life. Good day!"

Elian didn't let her talk and ended the call.

His chest is going up and down in anger. But he calms himself.

He slowly rubs his tummy.

"Baby, don't get mad at her. She is just hurt. I know how it feels. I am mad at one point too since she keeps attacking you. But let's be open minded and not take it to heart okay? Since you will grow healthy and strong. Mommy will always protect you."

Elian takes a deep breath. "Okay. Let's watch sing nursery rhymes, okay?"

Elian grins and starts singing. He is also aware that his mood will affect the baby so he from now on decided not to accept any call from unregistered number.

Loren blinks as his call didn't connect. He just think that he wants to call Elian. He will offer to help clear his malicious rumors in exchange for a favor later on but he actually didn't get a chance to talk to him.
