Chapter 1088 Things That Cannot Be Forced
"It's good to see you again, Sister," Lady Augustina said with a smile. "How have you been?"
"Busy," Lady Faustina replied. "How about you?"
Lady Augustina sighed. "The same as you. We are making contingency plans just in case multiple Abyssal Gates appear near our territory."
Lady Faustina nodded her head in understanding.
The Divine Army had informed them that the power of the Abyss was growing everyday.
They even predicted that as early as a month, the Abyssal Creatures would once again invade their world.
Of course, this was just a theory. However, the rulers of each Kingdom, and Empire, couldn't brush this warning aside.
The Divine Army had dedicated their lives in fighting against the Abyssal invasion. Although they had done some overbearing things in the past, for them, everything they did was for the greater good.
Of course, Lux disagreed with that notion, and even took the initiative to attack the Kingdoms and Empires that were under the Divine Army's umbrella.
Knowing that this continuous conflict would not benefit anyone, the Founder and the Sovereign of the Divine Army asked the High King of the Elves, the Dragon King of Karshvar Draconis, as well as the Steward of the Crystal Palace to help mediate the situation.
For the time being, both sides agreed to a compromise and the war between the Half-Elf and the Divine Army was put on hold.
At least for the time being.
This allowed the various Kingdoms and Empires to make the necessary preparations for the Abyssal Invasion, which might happen at any given time, according to the Divine Army.
Even Memento Mori, who had not made any moves for the past decade, also announced to the world that the battle against the Abyssal Creatures should be everyone's priority.
For this mysterious organization of Necromancers, whom no one wanted to offend, to make a declaration like this proved that what the Divine Army statement wasn't just a bunch of nonsense.
Because of this, everyone stopped their petty wars with each other, and made preparations for a battle that would shake the very foundations of this world.
"Tell me, is Aur looking for a wife?" Lady Faustina asked.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Lady Augustina arched an eyebrow. "Is your Master perhaps thinking of matchmaking Valerie and Aur?"
"Mmm." Lady Faustina nodded. "He hopes that the union of the two will finally put an end to the Cold War between the two Dragon Kingdoms."
Lady Augustina wanted to laugh after hearing her sister's words. Of course, she couldn't blame her because to the world, Aur was a Dragon Prince and not a Dragon Princess.
The enchantment placed on her body was so powerful, that even a Supreme would not be able to peer through it to see her true gender.
But, since Lady Augustina more or less understood why Valerie was intent on seeing Aur, she played along with her sister.
"Well, a union between them is possible," Lady Augustina. "Both of them are almost the same age, and they seem to get along with each other. Perhaps, after a year, or two, we can all sit down and talk about this. For now, let the two of them deepen their connection with each other. Things like this cannot be forced, you know?"
Lady Faustina sighed before nodding her head in agreement. "I guess you are right, Sister. But, since we are on this topic, the possibility exists, right?"
Lady Augustina smiled. She knew that Aurelia and Valerie liked Lux, and this diplomatic visit was more of an excuse so Valerie could spend more time with the Half-Elf.
Aurelia didn't hide anything from Lady Augustina, and she even informed her mother, Empress Evangeline, about her relationship with the Half-Elf.
Of course, the two older ladies were shocked after hearing Aur's revelation.
But, in the end, they accepted her decision and had become her accomplices since then.
The only reason why the two most powerful ladies in the Crystal Palace nodded their heads in approval was due to the fact that Lux was Keoza's chosen one.
Lastly, they had sensed that there was Dragon Blood flowing inside the Half-Elf's body.
They were quite intrigued by this development, and even asked Keoza how Lux managed to acquire it.
Keoza didn't hide anything from the two of them, and explained that the blood was a pure blood essence that came from the previous Dragon Emperor.
Because of this, the two ladies believed that Lux's body was now capable of transforming into a Dragon. Keoza also mentioned that the Half-Elf had a special body constitution, which gave him Draconic strength and abilities.
In the end, Lady Augustina, and Empress Evangeline realized that there was no problem even if Lux and Aurelia were to become a couple.
With Draconic Blood running through his veins, it was very likely that he was capable of making Aurelia conceive, allowing their bloodline to continue.
Of course, the two ladies were also very amused that Valerie had become Lux's lover as well.
Both of them were even looking forward to knowing how the Dragon King of Karshvar Draconis would react, after he found out that his precious daughter had already become Lux's woman.
While Lady Faustina and Lady Augustina were having an afternoon tea together, things were getting lively inside Lux's Guild Headquarters.
"Mother, does the tea taste good?" Ari asked with a smile.
"It does taste good," Adeline replied. "In fact, it is the best tea I've had to drink so far."
"If you like, I can share with you the tea leaf combinations I use for this, Mother," Ari stated. "This is Ari's secret recipe that I am only willing to share with you."
"Thank you, Ari." Adeline smiled. "I look forward to it."
Not wanting to lose, Aina, also made sure to make a good impression of Adeline.
She even sat beside the beautiful elf, and did her best to engage her in conversation.
In fact, her expressionless face was showing so much expression that Lux, Iris, Cai, Valerie, Aurelia, Aurora, Ali, and Ari, thought that someone had kidnapped the real Aina and took her place.
But, to everyone's amusement, Aina was only able to keep her animated expression for half an hour before returning to her expressionless appearance.
She then stood up and sat on Lux's lap as if she was a mobile phone that required charging.
Of course, the Half-Elf was more than happy to help his lover recharge.
If they weren't in front of Adeline, he was certain that Little Lux would help fill her up with his energy as well.
Adeline couldn't believe that her son had so many fiances, and all of them were very beautiful.
Even her husband, Vincent, whom Lux had reluctantly summoned due to Adeline's pleading, was impressed by his son's harem.
Of course, the ladies also made sure to make a good impression on Vincent, but it didn't take long for them to realize that they didn't have to put a lot of effort to do that.
Why?
Vincent loved beautiful girls, and was even very jealous of his son for having a harem.
"If I was still alive, I would have also made a harem!" Vincent stated. "In fact, I'm confident that I would have a bigger harem than Lux. After all, between the two of us, I'm more handsome, right?"
Lux looked at his "father" in disdain.
The old man was clearly spouting nonsense.
How could he possibly be more handsome than him?
What a joke!
Adeline was also not too happy with how Vincent mentioned that he wanted to have a harem.
Realizing that he blundered, Vincent tried to pacify his wife, but it was too late.
In the end, it was Adeline who asked Lux to return Vincent's Soul to Blackfire, which the Half-Elf happily obliged.
After that small incident, Valerie and Aurelia found themselves sitting beside Adeline, due to the machinations of Iris and Cai.
The two ladies knew that the two Dragon Princesses wanted to know more about her, so they gave way and made it possible.
While this was happening, the Draco-Succubus, Ari, made an excuse of wanting to get some refreshments from the kitchen.
However, she made sure to grab Lux's hand and pulled him along with her, making her sister, Ali, arch an eyebrow.
"We'll be back soon," Ari winked at Ali, and the latter only shook her head helplessly.
They were going to stay in the territory of the Crystal Palace for a week, so she wasn't in a hurry to spend some private time with Lux.
But, Ari wasn't the same.
Ever since Lux took her first time, the beautiful handmaiden always seemed to be "in heat" whenever the Half-Elf was around.
Of course, the other ladies, with the exception of Adeline, knew this as well.
Because of this, they turned a blind eye to Ari's action because they knew that they would be able to spend some time with their lover as well.
This was especially true for Valerie, who had long been waiting to be embraced by the handsome Half-Elf, whom she hadn't seen for a while.
