Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

TSK.

Nikolai would rather be Neoma and Nero to check on his children, but Commander Ruto sunddely requested a private audience with him and Mona.

Since his wife agreed immediately, he had no choice but to follow suit.

Hence, the three of them were currently in his private tea room.

[That baby...]

Nikolai's gaze landed on the sleeping baby in Commander Ruto's arms. "Isn't that the God of Death?"

"Yes, Your Lord Majesty," Commander Ruto said politely. "The soul of the Death of God is still in this precious vessel, but once Neoma returns his other eye, his soul will leave this body."

"Will the God of Death be alright?" Mona asked worriedly. "He used that vessel because his physical body was destroyed by Helstor, didn't he?"

"That's right, Your Lady Majesty," Commander Ruto said, nodding. "But the God of Death only needed to use a different vessel because Helstor stole his eyes. A god who loses their eyes also loses half of their power. That's the only reason why the God of Death couldn't create a vessel that would suit his soul."

"I see," Mona said, nodding. "Then what will happen to the vessel that the God of Death used."

The air around the young commander suddenly changed.

And that was when the realization hit Nikolai.

[He wanted to talk about that shell. Didn't he even call it a "precious" vessel earlier?]

"Your Lord Majesty, Your Lady Majesty, this is the vessel of the child that I had with Neoma in the first timeline."

Nikolai almost threw the teacup at Commander Ruto's face.

Mona, on the other hand, almost choked on her tea.

"Warn us before you say something like that," Nikolai scolded the young commander while rubbing Mona's back. "You startled my wife."

Commander Ruto bowed his head politely "I apologize, Your Majesties."

"It's alright," Mona said, then she wiped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief that Nikolai handed to her. "Does Neoma know?"

Ah.

Nikolai suddenly felt bad for asking.

Even Mona could only cover her mouth with her hands when Commander Ruto's face suddenly darkened.

[It must be a painful memory for him and Neoma.]

"I'm certain Neoma would be in so much pain if she saw how our child looked in that state," Commander Ruto asked, then he whispered: "I can't also bear to see our child as a dying Seedling..."

Hmm.

Nikolai still didn't like Commander Ruto because he would never like anyone who coveted his precious daughter.

However, he could relate to the young commander at that moment.

As a father, Nikolai felt Commander Ruto's pain for losing his precious child.

"So please help us recreate a small version of the Garden of Life, Your Majesties," Commander Ruto pleaded to them desperately. "This little one won't survive in ordinary fields, It has to be similar to the Garden, because the current Garden is already being corrupted by Helstor's Darkness."

Nikolai knitted his eyebrows. "Helstor did that to the Garden of Life? Unforgivable–"

"How dare that coward of a god destroy our precious grandchild's home?" Mona asked coldly, clenching her hands tight. "I'll make our grandson a temporary home, but I'll make Helstor pay for what he did."

Commander Ruto smiled and nodded gratefully.

Nikolai, on the other hand, suddenly had an epiphany.

Right.

Neoma's child was Nikolai and Mona's grandchild.

[I'm already a grandfather?!]
