"… You and Valerie are pregnant?" Lux asked as a rush of emotions rose up from his chest. "Yes," Aurelia replied. "Both of us are pregnant with your child."
Valerie, who was seated on the couch beside her mother, looked at the Half-Elf with a reddened face.
Queen Saphira looked at the Half-Elf who had turned her daughter into a woman with a calm expression on her face.
Although Valerie was innocent and ignorant of most things, that didn't mean that she would want to bear the child of a person she didn't like.
The fact that she took that step, despite knowing the consequences, proved that she had strong feelings for Lux. This was something that she could accept as a mother.
However, accepting and agreeing were two different things.
She felt that the Half-Elf had taken advantage of her daughter's innocence and ignorance, which caused Valerie to get pregnant.
However, after a long private discussion with Aurelia, she found out that even before the Aphrodisiac incident, Valerie already had strong feelings towards Lux.
The Aphrodisiac was merely the last push she needed in order for her to make her feelings known, and it ended up with her conceiving the child of the person who had just saved them from a fate worse than death.
Perhaps, feeling her gaze, the Half-Elf shifted his attention to the Dragon Queen, who was looking at him while holding onto her daughter's hand.

She was also paying close attention to Lux to see how he would react to the news of Aurelia and Valerie becoming pregnant. The Half-Elf's reaction was expected. He was shocked, but one could tell that he was also quite happy with the news.
Of course, this happiness was short-lived and was replaced by anxiety the moment he realized that the mothers of the two Dragon Princesses were sizing him up with their gazes.
"Lux, I am happy to finally meet you," Queen Evangeline said. "Aurelia has told me many things about you."
"She has?" Lux inquired.
"Yes." Queen Evangeline replied. "Especially the part about you being a good kisser. Are you as good as she claims to be?"
Aurelia's face immediately reddened before she gave her mother a pleading gaze. She didn't want Queen Evangeline to spill all of her embarrassing secrets in front of everyone.
Her mother covered her lips with her hand and chuckled. After all, it was very rare for Aurelia to look this cute and adorable. "I don't know if I'm a good kisser or not," Lux said. "But I do love kissing Aurelia. I'm addicted to her kisses."
"Oh my~ you're quite a bold one I see," Queen Evangeline looked at the Half-Elf with an amused expression on her face. "So you like kissing my daughter. How about Valerie? What do you like about her?"
This time, it was Lux's turn to redden as he glanced at the angelic Princess, whose beauty could cause the downfall of nations.
"Valerie is innocent, but that doesn't mean she isn't assertive," Lux replied. "The moment her switch is flipped, she likes to take the lead and make me feel as though I'm the luckiest man in the world."
"You are indeed the luckiest man in the world for being chosen by my daughter," Queen Saphira commented. "Many would risk their lives to offend my husband just to ask her hand for marriage. But you didn't do that. Instead, you took a shortcut."
"I have no excuses for what I have done," Lux stated. "The only thing I can do right now is to ensure that all my lovers and future wives will live happy and wonderful lives. But I cannot give it to them right now. There is still one more obstacle that prevents us from truly being happy."
The room quieted down a bit because everyone knew what Lux was talking about.
There was one more hurdle that he needed to jump over, and that was none other than Daniel, who had probably gotten his hands on the Golden Scales of Eternity.
Now that the Abyssal Invasion had calmed down a bit, Lux had the time to think about the future.
But the future he saw was very dark.
Even with the power he possessed, he still didn't know how to fight against Daniel, who was not only a Pseudo-God but was also capable of wielding the power of the Outer God, Azathoth.
If Lux only had to fight against Daniel, there might still be hope. But against that existence… Lux couldn't help but shudder when he remembered the near-death experience he had with the Outer God that slept at the deepest layer of the Abyss.
"Don't worry."
Aurelia stood up from her seat and walked towards Lux.
She then sat down by his side and held his hands tightly.

The beautiful succubus gave Lux's hand a light squeeze, showing him her support.
"Also, you are now a father of three." Aurora smiled. "You should make sure that they will be able to live in a peaceful world."
The room once again descended into a deafening silence. But this time, it was due to a different reason.
Half a minute later, Aurelia spoke up as she looked at Aurora with a smile.
"Congratulations, Aurora," Aurelia said. "You're pregnant with Lux's child as well?"
"No." Aurora shook her head. "It's someone else who was pregnant. That person already gave birth as well."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"… Who gave birth?"
The one who asked was none other than Valerie, and for some reason, she had a discontented look on her face.
Even the two Dragon Queens had disgruntled expressions after hearing that someone had already given birth to Lux's first child, which they thought would be born by either Aurelia or Valerie, who were both pregnant with his child.
