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

"This... Milady, was because of what the Prince had deduced from your interactions with Baobao and Wisey." Olivier politely explained how the regimen was made.

"It is important for summoners to maintain a strong connection with their contracted beasts. It will allow easier communications and sharing of abilities."

"Sharing of abilities?" Eli was intrigued.

"Yes! The master can share magical power to the contracted beasts while the contracted beasts could offer their abilities to their masters.

The pinnacle of ability sharing is the ability of the summoner to temporarily use the abilities their contractor has!" Olivier explained excitedly.

"Ohhhh!" Eli's eyes shined brightly as she evilly looked toward Baobao and Wisey.

"Ability sharing huh.." She looked at Baobao, so far she only knew that Baobao is physically strong and he can shrink his size. Does that mean that she could do that as well?

"Hehehehe.."

Baobao froze as he suddenly felt cold on his back.

Eli looked at Wisey who was perched on Baobao's shoulders. Wisey could use a little bit of wind magic, but her strength lies in… calculation and analysis!!!

It was known that Eli was the one who had invented the water pressure and heating system. But unknown to all she had with her an Owl Supercalculator - Wisey!

While she was drafting the blueprint, Wisey was in-charge with the computations Eli could have a hard time solving because she lacked a laptop and calculator.

If Eli could borrow Wisey's insane calculation ability, then their creations in the future would be twice as fast! She could share the burden with Wisey for the computing and analysis tasks!

"Hehehe.." Eli looked towards Wisey evilly. Wisey felt chills on the tips of her feathers.

Seeing that Eli was enticed with the benefits of strengthening her connection with Wisey and Baobao, Olivier then continued to explain.

"The Prince had noticed that Baobao's mana flow would be so active when you play music. In situations when you discuss scholastic matters, Wisey's mana flow also activates.

Thus, the Prince had deduced that your bond with Baobao and Wisey could be strengthened through music and studying, respectively!"

Eli realized that the training regimen now made sense, she finally nodded in acknowledgement, "Hmm, if that's the case then I would have more time to study and prepare for the grandmaster's visit. It is advantageous as well."

"Yes, Milady! After strengthening your connection with Baobao and Wisey, we can proceed on teaching you how to manage the mana in your body.

But don't you worry, this is just one part of your training! We just have to wait for Milady to give birth to proceed to the next part, which is physical training!"

"Oh, physical training! I look forward to that! I need to be strong enough to slap the wits out of the people who would try to bully my Little Han!" Eli's motherly instincts kicked in.

"All right! I'll get going and follow this arrangement.." Eli then proceeded inside to start her 'training regiment' and left the three to continue their own training.

In the Capital of Seirende.

Leon got up early in the morning to visit his troupe, the Crimson Blade Army.

The Crimson Blade Army was the smallest yet the most mysterious corps of the Seirende Empire. There were only a total of twenty-three members of this army.

The people of the empire also believed that they were the most vicious army because they were led by none other than the Barbaric Blood Prince. But little did they know that it was also because each of the members of the knight are elite and talented.

Assisting Leon in managing the corps were the Left Blade, Olivier and the Right Blade, Blaze.

These two were the strongest among the members of the crimson blade army, of course only next to Leon. But nonetheless, they were capable enough to manage the army in Leon's absence.

Leon arrived in a busy barracks filled with the sounds of men chanting battle phrases while they ran laps on the wide training field. This was a very familiar place for Leon, and the second most comfortable place to him, aside from her parent's secret chamber.

His presence was first noticed by a tall handsome man with fiery orange hair. His countenance gave a vibe of a mighty and reliable knight. He immediately stopped the corps from running and directed them to march towards the prince.

As soon as they reached a considerable distance near Leon, the man with the fiery orange hair led the troupe to kneel and salute the Prince.

"Greetings, to the wielder of the Blade, His Highness Third Prince!" They greeted Leon in unison.

"Hmm, be at ease." The Prince gave a nod and continued, "I have sent the left blade, Olivier, for a highly important mission. In the meantime, the troupe will be overseen by the right blade, Blaze." Leon looked towards the handsome man with fiery orange hair.

"This blade follows your order!" Blaze responded with a bow. He looked at Leon with his golden brown eyes blazing with determination. The morning light hit his beautiful tanned skin which amplified the aura of a true warrior in his countenance.

"Uhn! In a few days prepare yourselves for a scout and assault mission. I will be secluding myself for a while and come back to you for the details." Leon gave his orders to the rest of the crimson army members.

His eyes went cold and vicious as he continued, "This time our old enemy, the Spectre is moving. I trust that you know what kind of preparations you all needed!"

Upon hearing the word Spectre, the eyes of everyone in the army gave a sharp glint. Yet they still controlled their agitation and acknowledged the Prince's orders. "The Crimson Blade Army follows the order of the Prince!"

"Uhnn, be at ease. Blaze, let me talk with you for a while." Leon replied as he beckoned Blaze to follow him to the army's discussion room.

The moment they entered a room, an isolation array activated. Blaze immediately knew that what the Prince was about to discuss was something that is top secret and critical information.

His expression became alert and he braced himself to hear alarming news from the Prince, only to see him smiling so brightly and beautifully.

"Blaze, we have found the mother of my child, the Asani we rescued four years ago, Eli." Leon said with relief and joy.

"Blaze congratulates Your Highness!" Although he was surprised, he didn't forget to express his happiness seeing his leader finally smiling.

"Thank you, Blaze, I actually left Olivier to guard the lady. For before I came back here, her existence had truly been discovered by the Spectre.." Leon's expression became grave and cold.

Blaze's eyes widened in alarm, "This… Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to activate the Roaming Blades, to scout for information." Leon with a serious tone.

The Roaming Blade was actually a hidden organization that the Prince had established. They specialized in gathering information solely for the Third Prince of the Seirende Empire.

They were spies planted in every information gathering and detective organization of Seirende and in some neighbouring kingdoms as well.

"This, I will immediately contact the roaming blades. What information do you want them to look into?" Blaze replied.

"Tell them to find any incidents of missing pregnant women, as well as mysterious disappearances of a group of beings, may it be humans, elves or mythical beings.

What we have discovered in Silvertown were two things.

One, with the complete disappearance of the Asani race, they had set their eyes on pregnant women, to which they had coincidentally targeted the Lady, who was now six months pregnant.

Two, we discovered during our fight with the Spectre that they had been engaged in human-animal experimentations.

They were able to create fearsome killing machines, the hell wolves. I have found out that these wolves contained human receptors!" Leon said with a grave expression.

"This! How sinister!" Blaze replied in anger, he couldn't believe that after so many years of inactivity, the Spectres didn't stop doing abominable things.

"Indeed, we need to stop them. I need to eliminate the threats regarding the Spectres so I could finally publicly acknowledge my future wife and child." Leon said in full longingness, yet it was again immediately changed into a cold expression.

"After this, I will immediately proceed to the archives with my Father Emperor's permission and open the confiscated records from the incident four years ago. I am hoping that I can see some clues as to what really is their goal in doing such things." His eyes were full of determination.

He handed down the recording stone Randel had managed to record regarding the hell wolves, as well as a summary report he had written and said, "These are the records we have retrieved, see for yourself the fearsome creature, that made a Class A mage almost lose his life. Our army will most likely encounter them in the future."

"I understand, Your Highness. I will study this and immediately prepare the Crimson and Roaming Blades accordingly." Blaze replied his eyes burning with resolve.

"I cannot wait for Your Highness to finally move and give retribution to the Spectres! I pray that the heavens may help us!" He declared boldly.

"Uhn, I also pray that everyone from the Crimson and Roaming Blades would finally receive justice for the Spectres' deeds!" Leon replied solemnly.
