"He’s already dispatched a special task force from the palace to surround this place. I rushed back to inform you as soon as I heard. Sir, you and Madam should hurry and—"
Leon hadn’t even finished speaking when soone arrived outside.
"Would Caesar please step outside? His Majesty, the Beast King, requests your presence at the Royal Palace!"
Leon whispered, "Sir, we still hold the military command token. Should I notify—"
"Not right now."
Caesar glanced toward the inner room. He had a feeling Sang Luo’s due date was within the next few days. This was the most critical period; she needed to rest peacefully, making it a bad ti for a major conflict.
And he didn’t want to frighten her.
Caesar knew Sang Luo had been eavesdropping. Just as he was about to go in and comfort her, he saw her walk out, leaning on the doorfra. Her other hand was cradling her large belly, and her face was pale. "Caesar..."
"What are you doing out here!"
Caesar’s expression was incredibly tense as he rushed to support her. "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to . The Beast King can’t do anything to . The only one I’m worried about is you."
Sang Luo grabbed his hand and shook her head. "Don’t go."
"Alright. I won’t go."
Outside, the n dispatched by the Beast King had ford a tight siege, leaving no way in or out. When Caesar gave no reply, the lieutenant generals of the special task force attempted to storm the manor with their n.
A terrifying force sent the intruders flying back to the ground, their insides feeling like they might shatter.
Simultaneously, a transparent Energy barrier enveloped the entire manor. No matter how they attacked, they could not shatter it.
A few defiant High Rank Beastn tried to force their way through, but the instant they touched the Array, they were vaporized into dust.
"H-How has his power beco this strong?"
The lieutenant general’s expression turned grim. ’So, Caesar’s been holding back all these years while serving the Empire. This must be his true power!’
’Forcing our way in is impossible.’
"Sir, what should we do now?" soone asked.
"Go back and report to the Beast King. Request reinforcents. The rest of you, watch this place. No one gets in or out. Report anything unusual imdiately!"
’Even if we can’t handle Caesar, as long as his pregnant mate remains in the Empire, he’ll have no choice but to bow his head.’
Thousands of Beastn surrounded the manor, cutting off all access and preventing even food from being brought in. Caesar dismissed all the servants. Sang Luo hadn’t needed food for energy in a long ti, as she could simply consu Beast Crystals. Eating at was just to satisfy her cravings.
And Caesar had no need for food at all.
No matter how anxious the Beastn outside grew, their siege had no real effect on the pair inside.
Caesar paid the people outside no mind, treating them as if they didn’t exist. He’d grown anxious over the past few days, constantly watching Sang Luo’s stomach. He never left her side, terrified of the slightest mishap.
「Beast King Palace.」
The Beast King’s expression was just as grim. ’I never imagined Caesar’s spiritual power had progressed to this level—he can silently control people’s minds. Even I almost fell for it. The thought is truly terrifying!’
He summoned the physician who had previously perford Sang Luo’s prenatal examination.
"That female is close to her due date. It should be in the next few days. He won’t be able to stay calm for much longer..."
Just as Duotu arrived at the great hall, he heard Egarli Yalan ordering several Death Warriors to secretly eliminate Sang Luo in a few days, once she went into labor.
He imdiately stord in, his face dark with fury. "You can’t touch her!"
"Who gave you permission to be here!"
Egarli Yalan’s expression shifted, and he gestured with his eyes for a few guards to escort him out.
Duotu shoved them aside and strode forward to confront the Beast King, his gaze resolute. "She is the female I love, and I absolutely forbid you from harming her! She... she even promised to have my child! If you dare to kill her, I swear to you now, the Yalan line will have no heir!"
"Rebellious son!"
Egarli Yalan slapped him across the face.
Duotu turned his head, a clear handprint visible on his handso face. A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he looked up at the Beast King. "...I wasn’t joking."
"You! You! Are you trying to be the death of !"
So furious he wanted to slap him again, Egarli Yalan barely restrained himself, finally lowering his hand. His voice was filled with bitter disappointnt. "You are my only son and heir, the one I value most in this world. I originally intended to cultivate Caesar, to make him a sharp blade in our hands, to have him assist you in expanding the Empire’s borders. But look at him now! His rebellious heart is clear as day! If we don’t eliminate him now, the consequences will be endless!"
"..."
"You’re both Innate King Beasts, yet you’ve never been a match for Caesar, not even as children. If you had just a bit more ambition, would I have needed to sche all this ti?" Egarli Yalan’s eyes were gloomy. "As long as Caesar is alive, do you really think you can win that little female?"
