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

Huff! Huff! Huff!!

As soon as she finished reading the rest of the book, she no longer delayed any further.

She immediately contacted Leon and Kayden to meet her back in the cottage for the things she just found out.

Waiting in the study, Eli looked at the book on the table with a troubled look on her face. She had a lot of questions after reading the book, however, just as it was written in its contents and the Leprechaun's words…

That's all that the Leprechaun could find in his own capacity.

It did not take that long to see Leon and Kayden rush inside the room. Seeing Eli's expression they immediately asked her worriedly. "What's the matter?"

"I managed to read the contents of this book…" Eli looked at Leon and pointed at the book resting on the table.

"A book?" Kayden, who did not know about the book, asked the two in confusion.

Since Eli also called Kayden to listen to their discussion, Leon immediately explained, "During their investigation in the imperial archives, the guardian leprechaun gave her this book that might contain everything Eli needed to know about Asanis."

Kayden flashed an enlightened look and nodded. He then gestured to everyone, this might be a long discussion, so why not we all sit down?

At Kayden's reminder, the two agreed and did as he suggested. Only when Eli appeared to have calmed down did Kayden ask her to continue.

Eli took a deep breath and started to narrate the contents of the book,

"The first part of the book is the roster of all the names of the Asanis registered and dead in the village. All of them, men, women, children, even those who were unborn were there… Being all that was accounted for, the mystery of  Elise's origin started to arise."

She then showed the names of the people to the men and Leon nodded, since the information came from the Leprechaun, then it should match the records in the imperial registry.

But the last sentence Eli uttered made Kayden and Leon look at each other.

Now that she mentioned it, they never really got to the bottom of Eli's origin other than the fact that they initially rescued her because it was an imperial order from his father.

"I have not really asked Father Emperor about how he was able to know about the Asanis but he only said that it was the advice of the Elders at the time. I supposed the old Leprechaun can also be an elder." Leon explained.

"It is as you said, the old Leprechaun has narrated in here the events that led to the rescue of Elise, the original riverfort asani…"Eli confirmed Leon's words and continued,

"Back then since the old Leprechaun is bound in the dimension of the Imperial Library, he was only able to get through the information with his 'friends', the earth fairies occasionally visiting him in place.

There he was able to keep in touch with the things that happened on the surface and stumbled upon the information about 'a child looking like an asani being held captive by a madman.

Only then did he conclude that Elise was back then, the last asani who exists.

Upon hearing of the successful rescue, the curiosity of the Leprechaun led him to investigate where the last Asani originated.

He started to trace everything back to the Portia Valley, the only dwelling place of the Asani tribe, and went over the records of the incident that killed them all and had also managed to trigger a war in the blood valley.

If it was before, it could be said that the Spectre at that time deliberately chose to attack the Asani and start a war because they were working with Carolina and the Vesalas to secure a position in the imperial palace.

But now, from what we have learned in the elf village and the information from the Elder Leprechaun, we could clearly see that the Asani was the Spectre's target all along.

The war eventually happened because it was done as a diversion for their real goal.

Also, I have found that this war not only almost caused the life of Leon's grandfather but also was the true reason for Governor Fidel's to self-exile to the north because of the guilt that he was unable to protect such a small tribe!"

Eli continued,ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"While going through the reports, the Elder Leprechaun also mentioned the relics left by the Asani which the actual items were never retrieved."

She looked at Leon and Kayden, then showed them the list of the possible relics taken away from the Portia Valley, which was now called the Blood Valley.

Seeing the list of items, Leon and Kayden paused upon reading a particular item in the list. "A spatial ring that contained books of knowledge…"

"Indeed." Eli nodded as he looked at Kayden.

Kayden frowned and said, "But it says here that it contained preserved matter from an Asani male and female. I can assure you, I have gone through the contents of the ring and found no such thing other than the books and stack of records.

Not even something that mentioned the Asani was in there."

Kayden took the ring attached to a necklace, gesturing to them that they can check its contents. "Besides, does that mean that my parents might be involved in this matter?

Eli lifted her head and said, "Probably, but there's more to it than the ring alone…."

"The Elder Leprechaun did look into Brother Kayden's parents and have found out that the ring your father possessed was indeed one of those rings they have gotten, but he cannot confirm if the ring contained the same things as what was written here.

Also, the basis of this list was actually the village records and writings left behind by the dead citizens. Thus, he could no longer verify whether this list was accurate.

Not only that, the old Leprechaun believed that the matter of your parent's disappearance was also because of their possession of the ring.

And if I could continue the story, it also made sense why they were hunting you as Doctor Kayden." Eli looked at Kayden with a serious look.

"So the Leprechaun meant that somehow, the Spectre was hoping to get the ring because of the things listed in here, in particular the preserved matters?" Kayden asked.

"It's highly likely… More importantly, the Leprechaun theorized that somehow, your parents did manage to use those matters successfully, that is why the Spectre searched for them in the first place."

"What do you mean?" Leon frowned and was greatly confused,  "How could we say that they succeeded?"

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Eli looked at the two and told them her own theory, "The success would be me or to be precise, Elise's body."

Leon and Kayden frowned, how does Elise's survival become the measure of his parent's success?

Eli did not blame them either, especially Kayden, because even though his knowledge is advanced for this world, she knew the kind of books he had in the ring, and none of them contained materials about in-vitro fertilization or surrogacy.

And so Eli slowly explained to them how Kayden's parents could have possibly used the preserved female eggs and sperm from the mysterious ring. From the basic science of fertilization to the concept of surrogacy, she told them how it was physically possible.

"So are you saying that my mother might have carried you… no Elise in her womb and gave birth to her as a surrogate mother?" Kayden felt like he was floating in the void.

The information was too much for him to take and even if this was all theory, how could he possibly imagine that his parents would attempt to do such a thing?

"Big Brother, it might not be the case, it can also be possible that they asked someone to participate in the experiment as the surrogate." Eli knew that Kayden's mind and heart would be in turmoil at the moment so she reminded him that it was only a theory she and the Leprechaun came up with.

Leon looked at his friend and tapped his shoulder as if to comfort him. The talk about his long-lost parents is a great thorn in Kayden's heart and now that there were clues about their disappearance, he knew that Kayden was definitely shaken.

Kayden shook his head and in his eyes, Leon and Eli could see that he believed in that theory, "It is highly possible…

Because from what I remember, my parents will not stop until they succeed in the research they set their eyes on.

Besides, I was four when they started to leave me to the Silver Dew forest and disappeared for a year and a half because of some medical journey. They did go back for a little while after that but the next time they left, they never came back again."

"The timelines add up…" Leon looked at Eli and Kayden, as he concluded.
