Robert Jr. waited in front of the delivery room door, leaning against the wall, his right hand rubbing his chin, contemplating the next step.
It had been ten minutes, and the obstetrician’s faint voice tending to Ryu e-Yon could still be heard from inside the room, accompanied by Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah, who were assisting her.
The other servants continued with their work after setting up the baby’s supplies, which Robert Jr. had prepared a week ago.
There were five servants in the house, and only one subordinate or Code S Agent, while the others were operating in different places or countries.
The servants here included one man and four won, including Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah.
The other three servants had been working for a long ti, since his Father was still in power. anwhile, Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah were newly recruited maids.
Robert Jr. only kept and relied on the old servants since his Father’s incident.
The Code S Agent here was only No. II, who lived with Robert Jr. as a replacent for his father in this house.
"Hold on, Madam, take a deep breath and then exhale slowly."
The female doctor’s voice was faintly heard from behind the door, making Robert Jr. listen and feel a flash of curiosity.
’Hmm... It’s taking a while, but I’m curious about the baby’s appearance, because my Father was also not a native Earth creature, and the baby is a mix of Earth and non-Earth, what race will it be? Will it lean more towards an Earth human or towards ?’
Robert Jr. moved his body slightly, getting closer to the door.
He closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest, trying to feel the energy inside the room.
’If the baby has a stronger gene from my Father, like , then the people inside will be shocked by its different form, and this will be a crucial point if the people inside find out.’
Code S No. II, who was coming up the stairs, saw Robert Jr. looking anxious, as if eavesdropping, approaching with a relaxed pace, his cane tapping gently.
"Good afternoon, Young Master, are you very worried about her? Your face looks so anxious. I apologize for only just returning after hearing that the woman was about to give birth."
S No. II stopped and stood by Robert Jr.’s right side. Close to him, he took off his mask and also leaned against the wall with him.
"Uncle... No, I’m not worried about her. Does it look like that? Does Uncle want to visit her too?"
"Yes, I am also a little curious about your Father’s child from his mistress, but if the Young Master isn’t worried, why are you here? And will the Young Master accept your half-sister after she is born?"
Code S No. II essentially did not particularly like the woman.
From the first ti the woman ca until now, he still carried out what Robert Jr. instructed.
"It’s fine with , I accept her, however, I have a plan that I will carry out with my half-sister. Uncle, do you also think so? You are like my Mother; she doesn’t like her either. I’m only interested in my half-sister; the rest is not important."
Robert Jr. sighed, then opened his eyes and glanced at Code S No. II. The look was full of riddles that made S No. II a little confused for a mont.
’The Young Master intends to kill her after your half-sister is born? Oh no, how cruel you are. However, I also have no right to say anything.’
Code S No. II was rely guessing the implicit riddle in his eyes, and it was exactly what Robert Jr. was thinking.
He stood by, also keeping watch, ready to act if anything happened.
’It turns out Uncle is truly beyond prediction. Is it because of his instinct? He has been through many battles. Just a glance from my eyes, and he imdiately understood, so I don’t need to explain it to him. Indeed, what I’m worried about are Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah, as they are the woman’s companions for joking around in this house.’
Five minutes later.
A loud scream ca from inside.
Robert Jr. and Code S No. II looked at each other with wide eyes.
Robert Jr. imdiately kicked the door open until its hinges creaked, while Code S No. II remained outside on guard.
"What happened?"
Robert Jr. looked at the baby that ca out, and his anxiety beca a reality: The baby had thick purple hair, a short tail, and two small horns erging from its head.
’It’s true after all. Damn! They know.’
He turned toward Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah, who looked shocked and frightened, holding hands.
Their gaze was focused on the baby held by the female doctor, and the doctor also looked terrified.
Ryu e-Yon was lying on the bed, looking unconscious.
Robert Jr. struggled to take the baby.
Ti seed to slow down, and the atmosphere beca tense.
He gripped the pistol hidden under his work shirt, then pulled it out, cocked the trigger, and shot the doctor in the head so that this incident would not leak to the dia or news on Earth.
Bang! The sound of the gunshot echoed.
The frightened doctor was montarily stunned, holding the baby who wasn’t crying, unaware when the bullet pierced her head.
Blood splattered and flowed from her head, staining the floor, and the baby was still gripped by the doctor’s arm.
The flowing blood hit the baby’s face, triggering the baby’s loud cry.
Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah, who witnessed Robert Jr.’s brutal act, imdiately fainted, collapsing at the horrifying sight of the doctor’s head.
Robert Jr. moved quickly to take the baby before Code S No. II could see its physical form.
He wrapped the baby in a blood-stained cloth, covering its head and body until only its face was visible.
’Luckily, Uncle just stood there without turning his head even slightly. Hmm... How do I handle those two when they wake up later? I’ll hand the doctor’s corpse over to you, Uncle.’
He aid the pistol at the unconscious Ryu e-Yon, while cradling the baby in his left arm.
As he was about to pull the trigger, sothing strange suddenly happened: A thick purple aura from the crying baby burst out, shocking Robert Jr.
The aura floated, enveloping and absorbing Ryu e-Yon’s body, draining all her life energy until Ryu e-Yon’s body vanished without a trace.
’W-what happened? Is there sothing like this? What is this? I just saw sothing that Mother might not have told about. Even though I didn’t kill her, her own child absorbed her. Does the law of that world apply here? And also, is this related to the fact that its Mother is not from another world?’
The baby imdiately stopped crying after absorbing Ryu e-Yon’s body.
Robert Jr. glanced at the baby with a look of utter shock.
A bright, purplish light emanated from the baby’s chest, shining through the folds of the cloth covering it.
Then Robert Jr. opened the cloth, checking again, observing what happened to the light. A symbol similar to his own appeared in the center of the baby’s chest.
’H-he has a symbol like mine, and this symbol leans more toward the moon than the sun. Is it that my Father’s Demon gene is stronger in this baby?’
Robert Jr. flinched, then quickly looked back, observing Code S No. II, and he was anxious if Code S No. II had seen the earlier incident.
’Did Uncle see when this baby absorbed the woman until she left no body, and did he notice the light that shone earlier?’
He stared intensely, narrowing his eyes, his forehead wrinkled, his gaze fixed on Code S No. II without blinking.
’Huuh! No doubt, Uncle didn’t see it. It’s fortunate Father had a subordinate like him. He didn’t turn his head even slightly, let alone be curious about what happened here. With this, the secret will be kept, only that...’
Robert Jr. sighed, looking at Park Eunji and Choi Hyun-ah again.
He shook his head, then walked out carrying the baby.
"Uncle, please help clean up the corpse and the blood stains. Tell the other servants to help you. Burn all the cloth stained with blood, and also bring those two, lock them in their rooms. I’m leaving now."
Robert Jr. walked past Code S No. II, glancing at him as he exited the door.
Code S No. II saluted Robert Jr.
"Yes, Young Master, I will carry out your orders."
’Young Master, I already know what happened in there. The beginning of this strange incident also started with your Father when we were children, so I am no longer surprised if supernatural events are real.’
Code S No. II smiled then entered the room, and Robert Jr. left the place heading toward the basent room to place the baby on the bed he had prepared earlier.
Arriving in the basent room, he carefully placed the baby on the bed. The baby seed to smile, its small right hand gripping Robert Jr.’s thumb.
"My little sibling, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid, I will keep you company. I’m leaving you here for a mont, I’ll be back later."
Robert Jr. went to his private room, retrieved the spellbook, and placed it in the small bag he was carrying.
After returning, he took out the square-shaped gold plate engraved with the symbol of the na he had carved, then placed it around its neck, like a necklace.
"Your na is Lucy. This is the na I gave you. Don’t lose this carving your Brother made while you are in that world. I have thought clearly: I once wanted to exchange my eyes for you, but after seeing you born, I couldn’t bear it. Anyway, if you encounter sothing that frightens you, hold my homade necklace tightly. It might calm you and give you courage. Fight well."
Robert Jr. kissed its forehead.
The baby imdiately cried loudly, as if it didn’t want to be left by him.
Robert Jr. only smiled, took a step back, then sat cross-legged, holding his pendant, and touching the magic circle.
He closed his eyes and began to chant the spell with a deep, slow voice that filled the basent room:
"Sanguis noster, sanguis draconis, da mihi vires." (Our blood, the blood of the dragon, give strength.)
"Lucy, natus ex umbra, voco te ad astra." (Lucy, born from the shadow, I call you to the stars.)
The voice rose, the magic circle began to glow purple.
"The gate created from nothingness, listen to the voice of my Father’s blood! Pure Demon gene, separated from the dust of the Earth! Move, innocent soul! The Symbol of the Moon now engraved on your body becos an Anchor in that new world!"
The voice returned to a low tone, full of emphasis.
"The portal that opened, close quickly. Law of the Earth, forget this soul."
"Ad alium mundum. Ad alium tempus. Ibi permaneas!" (To another world. To another ti. May you remain there!)
