New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

With the urgency of the matter, the elders and officers, including Eli and Leon proceeded to the chief's hall to know the reason for the summons.

When they entered the hall a bright green light shone at the center of the room that immediately let Chief Eirllon and the rest of the elves bow down in reverence.

"Have the Third Prince and his family enter the inner halls." A mystic yet familiar voice sounded in the hall. Eli immediately identified the owner of this voice as Sylvain.

Chief Eirllon, Azayn and the rest displayed a momentary shock upon receiving the guardian's command. However, they quickly regained their composure and helped the family of three go towards the inner hall.

The inner hall for the Silver Dew Elves was a sacred place, where the guardian was allowed to descend and meet the current head of the village. Through the years, it was only Chief Eirllon who could enter the hall and converse with Lord Sylvain, the guardian protector of the elves.

But now, their protector suddenly summoned Leon, Eli and Little Han, who were obviously humans, to enter the inner hall!

Although they were all curious about the reason why, they could only silently wait for Eli and the rest to come out and inquire.

The inner hall was not really that different from the noble lounge in the Capital.

The room was decorated with modest furniture fitting for a person of high standards. What's distinct in this room was that the ensemble of decorations were mainly inspired by the forest, with the rustic tree trunks and indoor plants and orchids that would make one feel at ease upon entering.

Sitting leisurely on the couch was the ever beautiful male deity, Sylvain.

He was leaning lazily on the couch, clothed with a luxurious flowy robe that was slightly loosened on the chest area, making his well sculpted chest muscles and collar bones exposed. His green long hair draped like a curtain along with the accompanying green aura that gracefully dances over his body.

He was truly an existence that would never exist in the land! A real heavenly being!

Eli and Leon couldn't help but be amazed at the sight of the beautiful deity in front of them. But still as people who had been repeatedly exposed to the heavenly wonders, they remained calm and composed.

"Guardian Sylvain!" Eli and Leon respectfully greeted the guardian of the earth and even coaxed the curious Little Han who was already looking intently towards Sylvain with his bright crystal blue eyes.

"Baby, that's your Godpa Sylvain.." Eli didn't introduce Sylvain as a guardian to Little Han, instead, she introduced him as his godfather.

"Godpa.. Syl..bee!" Little Han tried his best to pronounce what he heard from Eli but his speech skill was still unable to properly pronounce certain syllables.

Even so, hearing Little Han calling him godpa made Sylvain's lazy eyes light up in ecstasy. He immediately stood from the couch and changed personality.

"Ahh goochiieee goochieee goo! My godson is so cute and so talented~~~~~" He transformed into someone that would never fit the description of guardian!

He was like a proud uncle finally having the chance to play with his favorite nephew!!! He even pouted his pale thin lips and made funny faces to make Little Han laugh!!

"Jihihihi!" Little Han cutely giggled with his milk teeth flashing in delight.

He felt really comfortable with Sylvain's presence and voluntarily extended his chubby arms in a gesture to let the other party carry him.

Leon and Eli were surprised and amused at the same time!

It was because they knew that although Little Han was good at interacting with people, he never requested anyone to carry him unless the other party would take initiative. Infact, Little Han would only do that gesture to two people, his Mommy and his Daddy.

"Ah~~ my little godson, you want your godpa to carry you??!" Sylvain was obviously elated by Little Han's gesture.

The green aura around his body danced in delight as he carefully reached out Little Han. As this was his first time actually holding a child, he had an awkward form when he carried Little Han in his arms.

After a while, he was all smiles as he immediately got used to it and started to play with Little Han using the 'tricks' that he learned from who knows where.

Eli and Leon silently watched the two bond for a while. Seeing Little Han smiling and laughing so innocently filled their hearts to do their best in the work in order to come back to him as early as possible.

Sylvain looked at them while allowing Little Han to comfortably sit on his lap while playing with his aura like it was alive.

"I know that you could already guess why I suddenly appeared." Sylvian looked at them with a smile that couldn't be read easily.

"Yes, Esteemed Guardian Sylvain. But we wanted to know more about it from you. " Leon was the one who answered as he held Eli's hand.

"We guardians cannot help you directly with the fight on the earthly realm. Although we are the ones watching over the happenings in Prasinos, we are not allowed to directly intervene with the chaos around.

The only thing we could do was to go to search for righteous people that could bring hope and peace to the land. We will bless him with the power he needs to resist evil. Sometimes, if the Overseer permits, we would give them some guidance." Sylvain calmly explained.

"As such, the only thing that we could do for the two of you was to take Little Han into the guardian's realm to ensure that he would be safe and you would be at ease.

In the guardian's realm, you will no longer worry about his nourishment as well as his health. Also, only the guardians could access the realm and no Prasinon could trespass unless we permitted them directly."

The guardian stated his case, straightforwardly telling them the good things about letting Little Han stay with him.

"Oh, and if you worry if we could take care of an infant? Don't worry, Celeste even took a child rearing crash course in the heavenly realms and even left her post for a few months to learn everything so rest assured!" He added proudly.

This portion made Eli's brows twitch uncontrollably. With her interactions with the guardians, she knew that Sylvain was telling the truth. She herself conned the five guardians to be Little Han's godparents, so she knows how serious they can be about this.

However, this time she looked at Leon to let him decide about this thing. For she knows that Leon had already considered hers early on.

Loving someone is to give and take. It's not always about you, it's about the two of you, who entered into the relationship.

With this little gesture, she wanted to let Leon know that his opinion is just as important as hers, especially when it comes to their child.

Sylvain immediately understood Eli's intention, so he looked at Leon calmly and asked, "What do you think?"

Leon tightened his hold on Eli's hand, contemplating deeply for a while before giving his answer. "Esteemed Guardian, who are we to doubt your intentions and abilities. We will entrust to you our son."

Sylvain seemed satisfied with the couple's response. Upon receiving their affirmative answer, he conjured something in his hands and an exquisite jade token appeared in his palms. "This is your key to the guardian realm. If you want to visit Little Han, you can use this to enter the realms and check on Little Han."

Eli and Leon were surprised to know that the Guardians were alright in giving them this privilege just to visit Little Han. With a grateful tone, Leon respectfully received it with his two hands.

"Alright, I know that you are pressed for time, so one last thing… Young Eli, I may have to temporarily take the book of knowledge with me too." Sylvain looked at Eli meaningfully.

"The book of knowledge??" Eli was surpised at first, before understanding Sylvain's intention.

Immediately she brought the book out and handed it over to Sylvain, who used his green aura to make the book float on his side.

"While the guardian realm is not the heavenly realm, our realm can also help the book spirit replenish her powers much faster than in the earthly realm. So it might be better for you to leave the book spirit with us and take it whenever you are already done with your training." Sylvain explained.

"I understand, Esteemed Guardian." Eli nodded politely.

In the coming days, she would be training with the Temple. Before embarking with the investigation team, Eli had already exhausted all she could do to search for the answers about the curses in the book of knowledge.

But she only got one answer from the book, it was a verse from the scripture that up until know she couldn't figure out the meaning -

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.."
