Carlotta couldn’t help but glance at Richard.
At that mont, Richard had transford into a massive tiger and was guarding her, his comfortable breathing sounding like heavy pants.
Truly worthy of being the King of Beasts.
After soothing each cub in turn, Carlotta clapped her hands to get their attention and said, "Be good now and transform into Mommy’s form, okay?"
Her voice was gentle, her loving gaze falling softly on each cub like moonlight.
"You’ll be adorable just like Mommy, and Mommy will love you just the sa."
The little fox cub’s eyes lit up at these words, its semi-drooping fox ears twitching, and it made a strained sound: "Ee-yah!"
Then, smoothly, it transford into a tiny female baby with tiny arms and legs.
When they were first born, they had also turned into babies, but they looked sowhat ugly due to their small size and wrinkled faces.
After so many days, the cubs had grown rapidly and were now the size of normal babies in Carlotta’s eyes, their wrinkled skin having smoothed out.
Looking at her daughter’s pale and tender skin, Carlotta grew to like her even more and planted a kiss on her daughter’s soft little cheek.
The fox cub flashed a toothless sweet smile, kicking its tiny legs vigorously, full of energy.
Henry almost couldn’t hold on.
He still had a tiger cub in his arms.
The tiger cub also transford into an infant state with a "Yoof," looking even stockier than the fox cub.
Henry quickly called out, "Abyss, good buddy, co quick, you’re the only one who can handle them."
Abyss, who had been pretending to be invisible nearby, silently walked over and extended his arms to cradle the two chubby little ones in his embrace.
The tiger cub, who hadn’t received Carlotta’s kiss, opened its mouth to wail, but Carlotta, knowing these little ones could also vie for attention, quickly kissed its cheek.
The chunky boy then turned his tears into laughter, giggling even louder than the fox cub.
The other cubs followed suit and transford into babies.
Richard held two kitten cubs in his arms, and the two little ones, now babies, looked identical, with faces clearly reflecting Carlotta’s features.
He gently kissed the two kitten babies first before presenting them to Carlotta.
Carlotta kissed each one in turn and finally kissed the tiger cub and fox cub that Blaze was holding.
Looking up, she found Blaze’s brown eyes filled with affection and tiptoed to kiss his cheek.
"What ti did you finish up last night?"
Blaze smiled brightly, but his fatigue was still visible under his eyes, despite the brightness.
"Duke, I just got back."
He had just returned and gone to et up with Richard and the others to prepare for the state banquet.
Blaze was actually quite nervous inside. He was going to appear with Carlotta and then help out in the kitchen.
For a male who had retired from the military and been deed a waste, to have co this far was already very difficult.
But now, after seeing him, Carlotta kissed him first, sothing she hadn’t done with any of her other mates.
Blaze instantly felt much more energized.
He chuckled and kissed the cub in his arms repeatedly.
Seeing Blaze’s happy smile, the two cubs imitated him and couldn’t stop laughing.
Amidst the laughter and joy of the little cubs, Carlotta, accompanied by her mates, arrived at the palace aboard the Phoenix.
At this point, the palace’s internal parking lot was already filled with many vehicles, and what amazed Carlotta the most was a whale-shaped car.
A lifelike black-and-white killer whale brought back mories of Carlotta’s family taking her to the ocean world to play.
"It looks so real."
The nostalgic glance flickered, and Carlotta closed her eyes and opened them again, reverting to Duke Carlotta.
As a half-royal family mber, Carlotta did not enter with the other ministers.
Instead, upon the announcent of the court officials, she stepped onto the red carpet, advancing gracefully with each step.
The ministers present cast their gazes toward Carlotta, their faces filled with admiration.
Carlotta wore a white-and-gold ducal ball gown, her makeup impeccable, and the waist-cinching design of the dress beautifully showcased her excellent figure.
Behind Carlotta, the four mates with Carlotta’s mark on their foreheads wore matching high-customized suits in the sa colors. Their faces were exceptionally handso, yet each possessed a unique aura.
This made the females present, who were not ministers but fortunate enough to attend the banquet due to their mates’ high positions, drool with envy.
Especially Vivi.
Seeing Carlotta walk in so gloriously, with everyone around praising her, Vivi walked over to her mother, Lucas, feeling resentful.
"Mom, look at her putting on that fake air of pride. She ca from the slums, so why the pretense?"
Lucas was chatting with a minister of the Deep Blue Empire, a handso male killer whale.
Just as the atmosphere was getting cozy, her daughter ca over to make a fool of herself, and Lucas’s eyes flashed with anger. She could only smooth things over with a warm voice, "This is my daughter. She’s been overly pampered, so please excuse her behavior."
But the other person already looked disdainful and actually said, "Sorry, we too co from remote planets and dare not laugh."
After saying that, he actually turned around and left, heading in the direction of Carlotta.
By now, Carlotta had walked up to the Empress and bowed to the Emperor and Empress of the Deep Blue Empire under her introduction.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Empress."
Before coming, Carlotta had already learned about the current political situation of the Deep Blue Empire.
Originally, the Deep Blue Empire also had a female rmaid as Empress, but the current Empress, Lando, didn’t want to handle political affairs and only wanted to eat, drink, and be rry, so she abdicated early and passed the throne to her only male mate, Harold.
Harold and Lando only had each other, so even after inheriting the throne, Harold continued to serve the Blue family of the Deep Blue Empire without a second thought.
Although the emperor and empress were deeply in love, they only had one male cub.
And that male cub, when he ca of age, climbed onto the land of the Deep Blue Planet out of playfulness and was bitten by a wild beast. He beca infected with pollutants, causing his rank to regress and his body to rot.
This was also the reason the Deep Blue Empire had been sending visiting cards to the Nore Empire.
They wanted Carlotta to treat their only cub, the rmaid prince, Laney.
Carlotta let go of her skirt and faced Harold and Lando with a charming smile.
When Lando saw Carlotta, her beautiful blue eyes widened, and her blue curly hair, like a waterfall, trembled slightly, as if light was flashing inside.
"Oh my, Duke Carlotta, you’re as beautiful as if you were an orc from our Deep Blue Empire. Your blue eyes are exactly the sa as ours, the royal family."
The praise from a fellow female brought a becoming blush to Carlotta’s face.
She shyly replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress. That’s why I feel so close to you. Perhaps it’s fate from heaven, ant to bring the Noir Empire and the Deep Blue Empire closer together."
Carlotta’s response was impeccable, earning approving expressions from the elders present.
Nearby ministers who were watching the interaction between Carlotta and the emperor and empress of the friendly nation also talked among themselves, saying that although Carlotta was young, she was already an orc worthy of the title of Duke.
Their praise fell on the eyes of Lucas and Vivi, making the two females’ expressions particularly ugly.
Vivi stared at the radiant Carlotta for a mont and whispered to Lucas, "Mom, are we just going to do nothing? She doesn’t want to co back to our family. Once she successfully treats the prince of the Deep Blue Empire, won’t our Pacification Institute be even more overshadowed?"
Already, many males who regularly visited the Pacification Institute had secretly expressed a desire to be counseled by Carlotta.
They believed that Carlotta’s counseling could help them regain their ranks, while ordinary females’ treatnt and counseling were useless.
Not to ntion her decrease in ntal energy level and the subsequent incident where she was caught publicly scolding Carlotta; it was all Carlotta’s fault.
If it weren’t for Carlotta, how could she have ended up like this? Maybe she would have already marked Richard and been halfway into the royal family!
Vivi’s greedy gaze fell on Richard’s face and couldn’t help but also look at Henry, Abyss, and Blaze.
Just looking at their faces, Carlotta’s mates were indeed the most handso males present.
Even the males from the rmaid Kingdom, renowned across the stars for their good looks, couldn’t compare to the dashing beauty of Carlotta’s male companion.
Why did she get to have it all?
Vivi’s resentnt simred within, and Lucas couldn’t help but be aware of it.
If only she could turn back the clock by decades, she wouldn’t need to pave the way for Vivi; she could take the spotlight herself.
But alas, the years had proven her infertile.
Those males were willing to indulge in carnal pleasures with her, yet they hesitated to beco her mates, knowing she couldn’t bear offspring.
Lucas’s eyes flashed with resentnt towards Carlotta as she pondered the rumors of Carlotta giving birth to six cubs at once.
Since Carlotta was no longer useful to her, perhaps she could find a way to fra her for undermining the friendship between their two nations.
With a calculating glint in her eyes, Lucas reached for her bracelet to send a ssage.
anwhile, at the end of the red carpet, Carlotta was engaged in lively conversation with the Empress and Emperor of the Deep Blue Empire.
Suddenly, Empress Lando inquired, "Speaking of which, when we first arrived, we overheard Your Majesty instructing the nursing partners to be attentive to the cubs’ needs later. Are those Carlotta Duchess’s cubs? Why aren’t they here?"
