"Alright.. Alright.. Calm down first.." Seeing that Eli would not calm down, Leon tried to appease her by saying these words.
Rosea worriedly brought a cup of water and handed it over to Leon, who immediately coaxed Eli to drink and calm down.
The rest gave them some space. They all joined forces to look after Little Han while Leon and Eli sorted everything out.
In the room, Leon patiently soothed Eli's distress. He repeatedly coaxed her until Eli's breathing became slow and steady.
After venting her distress, she lost all her energy and rested her head weakly on Leon's shoulders, closing her eyes slowly to sleep.
Leon's body finally relaxed as he gently laid her down to let her sleep a little more. Leon could tell that Eli still felt insecure as she subconsciously curled her body into fetal position.
He walked around the room and opened the closet where the towels were placed. He gently wiped Eli's sweaty face, then immediately headed outside carrying Little Han in his arms.
"Little Han, will you accompany your mommy for a while?" Leon softly asked Little Han who was frowning in distress. He seemed to be affected by Eli's mood.
"Wuuu.." As if understanding his daddy, Little Han created a tiny sound.
"Good boy.." Leon smiled and kissed Little Han's frowning forehead.
He had long treated Little Han differently, as he noticed that he seemed to be reacting as if he understood everyone around him, especially him and Eli.
Although he thought that it was too strange for a newborn to have this level of intelligence, he easily accepted it.
For one, Eli was still considered as the biggest anomaly he had ever encountered - a soul from another world.
Second, it was because he himself was also an anomaly. He was both a legendary S class mage and an open paths possessor.
With his mum and dad as the greatest anomalies in Prasinos, it only follows that their son would also be an anomaly!
With that he felt proud. The family of three were really meant to be.
The frown on Little Han's tiny forehead relaxed after his father praised him. He was gently placed on Eli's side. Eli felt the little one's presence and scooped him into the bubble she made for herself.
Leon immediately observed that her body slowly relaxed.
He then went out to contact his mother.
Upon opening the door, he saw the others worriedly waiting outside. They heard the commotion, including the ominous premonition Eli uttered uncontrollably.
Wisey flew in front of Leon, she landed on his arms which he subconsciously stretched out.
"His Highness Prince, I'll take a look at Eli-chan for a while."
She said in a slow yet astute manner. Her round dark eyes glistened deep as if there was something she wanted to say to Eli.
Leon nodded in understanding and allowed her to fly inside the room.
Everyone casted curious gazes towards Wisey. She was a contracted beast of the Madame yet she didn't address both Eli and Leon as masters. Instead she addressed them peculiarly.
Leon himself didn't take offense regarding that.
Only him, the Grandpas and Kayden knew of Wisey's identity, which was highly linked to the heavenly realms. As they were all witnesses of Wisey delivering an oracle right into their faces.
Leon trusts that Wisey will have an idea of the unusual happening. He prayed that it was something that would help them, not devastated them.
After delegating the task to the remaining ones, he went to another room and called his mother through the communication stone.
"Son.. Is there something wrong? Why call this early..." Queen Tehila's gentle yet groggy voice was heard from the communication stone.
Although she was obviously disturbed by Leon's sudden call, there was no trace of impatience on her voice.
"Mother… in two hours, I'll go with Eli to meet you and father in the chamber, just before you go and prepare for the temple later." Leon briefly explained his request.
He didn't mention anything about the ominous dream to avoid getting her mother worried.
Queen Tehila was taken aback by Leon's sudden request. It was one strange request that came out of nowhere.
But who would turn down a visitation from her future daughter in law?
Besides, she trusted Leon and Eli so she immediately replied, "Alright, I'll wait for the two of you. Would you like to have breakfast with us?"
"We'll be able to join you for breakfast. I'll bring Little Han too." Leon decided.
"Alright, see you two later! I'll go and notify your father!" Queen Tehila replied with an elated tone.
No matter what reason the two had, she was still happy that she would see her future daughter in law and grandson. It's been a while since she last saw them.
Back then, the two had just recovered. She wondered how they have been. Although she knew from Leon that they were doing well, she still wanted to see them personally.
Filled with delight, she called the Emperor awake. Immediately letting him suffer the same startle she just experienced.
But upon hearing the news of his future daughter in law and grandson's visit, he immediately got excited. He ordered a lot of food and had his butler deliver it after two hours.
After finishing the call, Leon immediately proceeded to prepare for the morning. After an hour, Wisey notified him that Eli was already awake.
Thus, he immediately entered the room and saw Eli sitting up with Little Han on her arms, wiggling happily.
Leon had Wisey, Rosea and Baobao take Little Han while he and Eli talked privately.
"Have you calmed yourself down?" Leon gently asked, he sat beside Eli at a comfortable distance.
"Yes.. thank you Leon." Eli replied softly, her face was still filled with worry.
This time, a flash of determination appeared in her midnight eyes.
"Leon, I want to talk to you for a while." Eli looked at Leon's crystal blue eyes without a hint of wavering.
After Leon activated a special array, she started to calmly explain things to Leon.
She started on the conversation she had with Wisey before Leon entered.
Wisey had informed her that this situation may trigger opening up the second path.
Which had come very timely.
In truth, she had always been praying that she become stronger as early as possible.
However, the manner it came to her life was extremely scary. To think that she would be receiving a dark premonition. It was a blessing and a warning at the same time.
But no matter what, she would follow Wisey's suggestion. Clearly it was a task given to him by the Great One, so she must obey.
According to Wisey, it wasn't a fluke that she was able to release a priest's blessing during that time of attack in Silver Dew Forest.
Wisey noticed some traces of the second path forming on her mana stream. However it mysteriously disappeared.
It was only when this happened that she realized that this was the perfect opportunity to open her second path.
The two analyzed her dream and deduced that uttering prayers via priest's blessings to a certain number of people would trigger opening her second path.
There were two groups of people in her premonition, Leon's parents and Leon's subordinates. She had to personally meet them all and release the priest's blessings.
When Leon asked, why do Wisey seem to know things that were beyond the Prasinons knowledge on open paths that even he didn't know, Eli decided to tell Leon the existence of the book of knowledge and Wisey being the spirit of the book.
All of this she calmly explained to Leon. Although he was surprised, he still felt that it was acceptable.
'So Eli was also an open path's possessor. Truly we are an anomalous family!'
He couldn't help but smile, feeling proud that the two of them were really meant to be.
"Leon.. why are you smiling?" Eli's face twitched.
She was going all out, carefully explaining to Leon these strange things only to see him let out a proud smile on his face.
"No.. I just realized how compatible the two of us were." He said with a teasing smile.
…
Eli was left speechless. She noticed that day by day Leon was getting cheekier in their interactions.
She vaguely remembered that this guy was initially so shy to call her by her nickname, now he went on and on teasing her randomly.
But thinking carefully, their interaction with each other was also anomalous. They started as pretending to become husband and wife publicly, then to friends, then to this.
Seeing Eli baffled, Leon smiled fondly and said, "It's alright. I've informed Father Emperor and Mother Queen of our visit."
"As for the blades, I'll make a way for them to meet you on another day without the outsiders noticing. Would it be alright?" Leon asked gently.
It was easy to arrange a sudden meeting with his parents because the cottage was directly linked to the chamber.
However, meeting the blades today would be much more complicated.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ For he had to personally appear going outside the castle.
Although he had a teleportation portal connected to barracks in his room, he wouldn't dare to leave them alone outside the cottage's premises.
"It's alright.. Leon, thank you." Eli replied sincerely.
She was glad that the man in front of her didn't even flinch when she told her freaky nightmare nor her secret abilities.
This man accepted her anomalous identity and embraced it wholeheartedly. He even took all the burdens that came with it.
By this time, Eli was unknowingly experiencing a mystical phenomenon called..
Falling in love.
