Hearing that Milenia was about to give birth shocked a lot of people. The physician agreed and left with Agares. Agares still wouldn't let them return ho until morning—for their own sake.
Goro nodded in agreent, and so did Nan and many others there. They didn't like how chaotic the city had beco, but they had already predicted this would happen even before Agares arrived.
So, they had prepared themselves better.
"What about food? So won and kids need to eat," Goro asked.
Agares ordered one of his clones to stay with them. He would take care of the city residents' needs while they were sheltered in Agares' residence.
There was plenty of food and drink there, and the clone told Goro and Nan to carry it all and distribute it to the townspeople.
Agares flew quickly while holding the physician's hand, letting her fly too. At first, the middle-aged woman refused to fly because she was scared, but after Agares convinced her, she finally agreed.
It didn't take long for them to reach Milenia's residence. The woman trembled as she looked around, pale-faced.
The aftermath of the earlier battle was still visible on the city's main road—adventurers lay dead, and the most shocking part was the pile of decapitated heads stacked like a mountain in the city center.
"W-What happened—"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on saving Milenia and my baby."
"O-Okay," the woman said, stamring in confusion.
She stepped inside, and several maids ca to guide her to Milenia's room. Agares followed behind, anxious and uncomfortable. He nervously fidgeted with his fingers, pacing back and forth in front of the room.
Only won were allowed to enter and help Milenia with childbirth. Aoi was also there, using her energy to assist Milenia.
Agares had ordered the guards to clean up the chaos in the city streets—removing human body parts and washing away the blood. They nodded, not daring to object.
The female physician knew exactly what to do. She had helped many won give birth. Milenia's case was no different—she just had to do what she always did.
From outside the room, Agares couldn't stop worrying about what was going on inside. Milenia kept screaming and pushing, giving it her all to deliver the baby safely and normally.
The maids kept coming in and out, carrying things like towels, buckets of warm water, and other supplies to help with the delivery. They did exactly what the physician told them to, since none of them had ever experienced childbirth.
They didn't know what to do otherwise.
Each ti the door opened, Agares would try to peek inside. His eyes were wide in shock. This was the first ti he'd seen Milenia, who always looked elegant, now drenched in sweat and gasping for breath.
Milenia lay on the bed with her legs up and spread apart. Her hands clutched tightly to cloths hanging from the ceiling, using them to pull and strain harder as she pushed.
'W-What is this…'
One maid noticed the door was open and quickly rushed over to apologize to Agares. He cleared his throat and nodded, understanding the rules the physician had set.
Minutes passed, and hours kept ticking by. Agares still couldn't shake off the worry in his chest.
Milenia had been in there for two hours, groaning loudly and pushing with all her strength. So maids ca out to fetch more warm water. The physician was still doing everything she could to help deliver the baby.
Amid all the screaming from inside the room, Agares froze in place when he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying.
Waaah!
He rushed to open the door and saw Milenia's belly had shrunk, and she looked relieved.
The physician held the newborn, cut the umbilical cord, and gently cleaned the baby's body with warm water, wiping off the blood.
She wrapped the baby in a blanket and cradled it carefully and gently. Agares was overwheld—his eyes welled up, his mouth hung open, and his hands were trembling from emotion.
He had officially beco a father.
As Agares reached out, wanting to hold his baby, the physician swatted his hand away.
"The mother needs to see her baby first. The father can wait!"
"O-Okay."
Agares, known for being ruthless, powerful, and cold, obeyed the physician without argunt. She walked over to Milenia and laid the baby beside her.
"It's a boy."
"A boy, huh? I bet he's going to grow up strong and handso like his father," Milenia whispered, turning her sweat-covered face slightly. Her eyes looked tired but happy.
Joy radiated from her eyes. She gently kissed her baby's forehead, filled with happiness and love. Agares stepped closer to the bed to look at their baby—their child.
"How do you feel, Father?" Milenia asked softly.
"I'm touched. I'm so happy. I'm overjoyed!"
Agares softly stroked his baby boy's cheek, then kissed Milenia on the lips and praised her. He was truly happy—being with Milenia and their baby. His little family was finally complete.
Aoi stood up and took a good look at Agares and Milenia's baby. She was incredibly happy to have a new little brother, even if they were different species.
She used her second-level fox evolution ability to change into a human form—a teenage girl, around fifteen years old. That was the result of her transformation skill.
That's right. Agares now had a complete family.
Agares lay on the bed facing Milenia and their baby boy. The maids were moved to tears as they watched. The physician congratulated both of them.
"Your baby is healthy. Congratulations to both of you," she said warmly.
Milenia turned to her and smiled, thanking her for helping with the delivery. The physician felt honored and happy to help.
"I'll make a herbal potion to help with your recovery and to support your milk production."
"Do you need any ingredients? The maids will help you," Agares offered.
"No need. I have everything I need at ho."
"All right. Thank you so much. I'll visit your ho tomorrow," Agares said.
The physician took her leave, escorted back to Agares' residence by one of the maids. One by one, the other maids also left the room, leaving only Agares, Milenia, Aoi, and the baby boy behind.
"Have you thought of a na for him, honey?" Milenia asked.
"A na, huh?"
Agares went quiet. He reached out his index finger and gently touched the baby's cheek. There were so many boy nas, but he didn't want to give his son anything silly.
He was born from two powerful parents—a master of magic and a master of the sword. Agares had to choose a na that honored that legacy.
"I know the perfect na for him."
"What is it?"
"Aizen."
