Chapter 23: 23. The Emperor 's offspring....
23.
Even though he did nothing to me, the feeling of being disturbed while doing serious things on my own was frustrating. I was just minding my own business but he had to burge in....
Now, I can't even take my childs out. With faces looking like the Emperor and Prince of the Empire, isn't that louse on the bald head, seen at a glance ?
I can do nothing in this situation. To take possible advantages from this goddamn situation, they should inherit his cunning too. It would be great to have small hypocrites by my side.
I called the Emperor hypocrite not because I hate his nature, rather, I admired him. I can't be a hypocrite because I didn't have the IQ to become a hypocrite.
[ You got 5000 merits for adding two lives for your family]
Wow!!! A whooping 5000 . What kind of gold are you, kids ?

I saw their data..
One word, strong..
Two words, so strong..
Hisss.....
These children are bulls....
Why were their talents so good? Not only did they inherit the traits of the Emperor, their classes were higher than others. One was S grade and the other was SS
"Mama....."
The two childs spreaded their hands and asked for a hug from me.
I picked them up and put them down on the bed.
They wiggled their little naked butts on the bed.
"Hey, What is this? Flower and vines?"
On their little left hands, there were small tattoo of vines wrapped around the wrists. There was a small golden flower on the stem. When I looked closely, I could see that the flower resembled the sun rediating sunlight...
[ Veronica, do you know what is this?]
[ I don't have this data in the database, Master. Maybe, we will know when the child grow up....]
[ How long do I need to wait? I love the toddlers but it'll be inconvenient with them when we run.]
[ It won't be long. They are born small because their classes are high. They will become adult in a year at most.....]
"Why are you so good ? "
I poked their puffed up cheeks. They giggled at my touch merrily. The haze looming in my mind because of their looks disappeared.
Let's see....
What should I add in the occupation slot for you?
Alex's talents are conflicted with each other, I wonder how can the talent of poison stay harmonious with holy light..
He can not only purify but also poison...
What an international joke was it ?
Moreover, the class was so high .
If I couldn't find a good occupation, his physique will be wasted.
I couldn't think of a serious occupation with this fire and water attribute.
"Alex , you will be a Holy Knight on the surface but an assassin in the dark...."
[ Add Holy Knight of Death in the occupation slot ]
[ Adding .....]
Occupation : Holy Knight of Death
[ The suitable gears for the corresponding occupation are issued....]
[ Equip him directly ]
I don't want to see the little trunk anymore..
Ugh..
To my surprise , the patterns on his little outfit was black instead of usual green. He even has a robe with hood. and black mask that hides his lovely little face.
"And Alice Her Alchemy talent will be the best gift for being an Alchemist.... You can concot potions and elixirs for us...What a little treasure..But with your SS grade in the class and the talent of Holy light, it will be a pity if you didn't become a High Priest..You can be an Alchemist in secret.. "
[ Add High Priest of Life in the occupation slot ]
[ Adding.]
Occupation : High Priest of Life
[ The suitable gears for the corresponding occupation are issued]
[ Equip them directly ]
Her dress was a simple long skirt with a cloak. This time, the pattern on her cloak were golden flowers and green leaves.
How cute !!!!
I felt bitter but their cuteness healed me. I kissed their little cheeks amidst their laughters ..
Humph.... even the face of hypocrite couldn't stop me from loving the children..
[ Veronica, taking them out would be a headache for us. ]
[ You can put them in the small world, Master....]
[ I can do what..? Why didn't you talk about that before ? Can't you see I am nearly bald from worrying too much ? ]
[ Master, you didn't ask....]
[ It's your duty to tell me.... How did you become like that ? Veronica, I am your master, right ? ]
Frustrated, I really wanted to raise the middle finger to her and express my anger in a kind way.
[ You are such a bold soul. ]
To meet with this kind of book spirit soul, this is a feat and a mountain of despair.
[ F*ck you. Veronica.]
[ Sometimes, I know I am wrong... it's just fun to argue with you....]
Ugh... forget it.
She was my own .. I chuckled and waved my hand nonchalantly.
I should be a better person by forgiving this mentally challenged wolf..
********
In the Palace of Bright Sun Empire..
The eyes of the sleeping man opened and he sat up violently..
"My bloodline !! How could it be ? I hadn't allowed anyone to bear my child. But now the signals coming from the bloodline resonated with me, not one but two.... When did it happen ? And where are my children ? "
Griffin pulled the robe from the stand, wore it roughly and stride out from his bed chamber.
He shouted to the standing guards,
"Go get Sebastian for me, hurry.."
"Yes, Your Majesty.."
The guard rushed out to fetch the steward.
Sitting and standing in the drawing room, it was very clear that he was in a complex mood. Griffin tried his best to make his mood as stable as possible..
"How? How ?"
This question was circling around his mind.
He was very sure of his methods. His bloodline was very special. It was not an over-confidence when he said his concubines couldn't have his child. The bloodline of the Bright Sun Royal family could only be combined with the bloodline of other Royal families.
In other words, only the princesses or offspring of royal families could bear the childs of Bright Sun Royal bloodline. And they knew their offspring with the feeling came from the bloodline, called bloodline signals....
Thats why, no one can lie or change the children of the Royal family..
He was very irritable now. He was very sure of himself, he hadn't fool around with women outside. The two concubines were not offspring of royal families either.
" Damn....who is it ?"
On his left wrist, the tattoo of green vines wrapped around like a bracelet. The growing tip was climbing up to his forearm. Between the shoots and trunk, there were two golden flowers blooming in vivid color.
Again, he was sure. It's not there before he fell asleep. He casted purification spells to himself.
"Is that a prank? Or assassination attempt? Which assassin in his right mind would do this ?"
He casted purification spells on himself repeatly, but nothing happened. The flowers even became brighter and brighter.
Looking closely, he saw the flowers were not flowers but small suns rediating sunlights. It looked like the family crest of the his Royal family.
He didnt know what it was ... .It made him angry. He sat on the couch, leaning against the armrest and supported his forehead with his hand.
"Your Majesty,I'm here.... What do you need me to do?"
" Sebastian, I have something for you to do..."
"Anything you need, Your Majesty.."
He looked at the loyal steward standing in front of him. Sebastian was with him from the day he became the crown prince when he was three years old. He was always there in his life as he was the most loyal servant and friend of his deceased Empress mother.
"You investigated the backgrounds of concubine Lunar and Rosaline, right? Are you sure they are not from Royal families ?"
" I'm very sure, Your Majesty..."
"I have offspring..now."
Sebastians jaw dropped because of the sudden news like bomb. After the surprise, he took out his handkerchief and covered his eyes.
" Are you crying ?"
"Your Majesty, they are tears of joy. This old man is very happy. Where is the little prince ..or princess ?"
"Don't know.."
"You don't know ? What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty..."
The corners of lips raising to the sky suddenly dropped like his mood. Sebastian doubted his ears ...
" Literally. I don't know the mother of the childs. I don't know where... The only thing I know is I have offspring and its not just one but two... I got the signal from the bloodline this morning. I want you to investigate about this..."
" You should give me some leads or clues, Your Majesty. Prior to ten months, where have you been? With whom? Shouldn't I know where to start ?"
"Didn't you know? I hadn't gone anywhere. You are my steward, shouldn't you know my itineraries more than anyone?"
The old man scratched his head hard. He knew all the words the Emperor said but couldn't understand when all the words are combined.
" This old servant knew your majestys itineraries but that didn't mean this old servant knew that...that..."
The old man scratched his head so hard that some loose hairs fell off.
" Follow my itineraries first. Then, dig behind Lunar and Rosaline. They can't be the mother of my child, I was with them nearly twice a month. They can't hide it from me if it was their doing. Last thing, find out how many Royal offspring are there in the Capital city."
" Your Majesty, you don't need to be shy in front of me. Didn't you really know who you had slept with? It shouldn't be, right?"
Griffin rubbed his face irritably.
" Sorry to disappoint you.No....It'll be the answer even if you ask me a thousand times.."
He stretched out his hand and showed the old man the tattoo on his wrist.
" Have you seen this tattoo? It appeared on my wrist this morning."
" Do you feel uncomfortable? Is it a curse,Your Majesty?"
" No, I feel nothing. But I guessed it was related to my offspring as the flowers really look like our family crest....and it was two..."
