Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1549 - 1090: Joy in This Place—It’s Time to Truly Enjoy Life!

The moon rises and falls, clouds gather and disperse. As the long night passes, the dawn breaks. When the sun climbs to midday, the sky becomes bright and clear. Glimmering waves sparkle on the small lake, while the thin curtains let in the bright sunlight.

Inside the tent, Xiulote and Alisa, wrapped in each other's embrace, finally woke up together. They gazed into each other's eyes, and all the long-standing gaps and worldly estrangement dissolved in the honest intertwining of the moonlit night. A moment later, Alisa blushed first. She reached out her fair hand and covered Xiulote's eyes.

"Xiulote, it's all your fault! It's already noon!... You're just like a busy bee, always full of energy, driving people crazy!..."

"Uh... it was clearly you who kept insisting..."

"Ah! You're not allowed to talk! Help me get dressed, keep your hands proper! Help me comb and tie my hair, it's so long and always gets crushed by you... Oh, and bring some fruit gum for me to chew on..."

After a moment of bustling about, when they were both properly dressed, the maids spread out a circle of tables and placed floral tea for rinsing mouths, along with dried fruits and snacks to satisfy hunger. The hot dishes, however, needed to be made fresh and wouldn't be ready so quickly.

In this leisurely break, the two stuck close to each other again, admiring the blooming sea of roses by the lakeside, while looking at the towering Great Temple like a distant mountain, they began discussing royal matters.

"Hmm... Xiulote, that day at Uncle Cacamatzin's house..."

Alisa blinked, looking at Xiulote's expression, hesitantly asked.

"Uncle finally sent me away, what exactly did he say to you?..."

"Uncle Cacamatzin? Oh! He said, let us be at ease in the Lake Capital City, living a joyful and happy life, and having many children..."

Xiulote smiled and gently stroked Alisa's hair, his actions were very tender.

"Uncle wants us to settle on the island in the lake just like the ancestors did, and take the propagation of the Mexican Royal Family as the most important duty to handle!..."

"Ah!... You rascal! Such nonsense, bah!..."

Hearing this, Alisa blushed and gently spat. Yet, this matter had lingered in her mind, and she felt uneasy until she found out the truth.

"Hmm, Xiulote, what else did you talk about? If it was just these things, Uncle Cacamatzin wouldn't have asked me to leave... he also wouldn't have specifically sent a servant to call Uncle Trakel Er II back..."

"..."

Seeing Alisa's serious inquiry, Xiulote was a bit dazed. He was silent for a while, then looked at his wife's eyes and softly asked.

"Alisa, my wife, do you really want to know?"

"Ah! Xiulote... I... I'm just a bit worried..."

Seeing her husband's serious expression, Alisa bit her lip and lowered her head with some unease.

"Chief Divine witness! If you don't want me to know... then... it's okay..."

"... Chief Divine witness! Alisa, you are the person I can entrust my life to, and in this world, you are the one I trust the most... I wouldn't hide this matter from you... Actually, several Royal Family Elders know about it. And Aweit, he actually knows too..."

Xiulote remained silent for a moment, holding Alisa's slightly cool hand, he spoke quietly to his wife.

"Before the Elder went to the Divine Kingdom, he left a will, right with Uncle, it is left for me... As for the contents of the will, Uncle did not say..."

"Ah! The Elder's will?!"

Upon hearing this, Alisa's expression paused. Being exceedingly clever, she immediately understood the sense of unease in her heart. Undoubtedly, this will from the Elder represents some kind of royal inheritance legitimacy, and its impact is very significant. The contents of the will must be related to royal succession, involving her father and husband, and the entire Mexican Royal Family!...

"Then about this will... Uncle, he?..."

"Aweit knows about this will, he sent out an envoy in advance... Uncle agreed with Aweit, until after Aweit's death, he would give this will to me, letting me decide how to handle it myself! And if he dies first, he would pass this will to Uncle Trakel Er II for safekeeping...

"Ah! Until father dies, the will wouldn't be handed to you..."

"Yes! Unless..."

"Unless what?..."

"Unless there are severe changes within the Alliance, only then would this will be opened early!"

"Severe changes? Hmm..."

Hearing this, Alisa was momentarily stunned, and lowered her head silently. When seeing his wife suddenly fall silent, Xiulote remained silent for a while before tightly embracing his wife in his arms.

Actually, from the letter left to him by his grandfather, he could roughly guess the contents of the will, it must be the inheritance legitimacy left for him by the Elder! And with Aweit's understanding of the Capital City, and his understanding of the Elder, Aweit could naturally guess the contents of the will. This way, the reason Aweit hurriedly forced him before he met Uncle Cacamatzin is naturally clear.

"Xiulote, do you want to... start early..."

"No, I won't! I'm actually not interested in this inheritance will..."

Seeing Alisa a bit nervous, Xiulote chuckled and gave his wife a soothing kiss, smiling to change the subject.

The effect of so-called inheritance law always relies on the power of practical support. If the elder is still alive, or if Aweit dies... then the power of this will in his hands would be enough to overpower everyone in the alliance, legitimately inheriting everything! But in the current situation, to forcefully obtain this will and declare the alliance would only breach Aweit's bottom line, leading to a dreadful split and civil war!

"Alisa, don't worry! The Chief Divine bears witness! I have fought hard for so many years, and now I just want to peacefully stay with you and enjoy our time together! Just like Uncle said, living happily with you and having lots of adorable children!"

"Ah! Xiulote..."

Hearing Xiulote's reassurance, Alisa widened her eyes and pressed against her beloved's chest, feeling that steady and unchanging heartbeat. A moment later, her eyes became moist, and she suddenly wrapped her arms around Xiulote's neck.

"Xiulote, my love! Being trusted by you... feels so good! I... need to be even better to you, much better!"

"Haha! Alisa, you've already done your best! There's no room for improvement!"

"Hmm... Uncle is right, we should have many children... um... let me think, to let you enjoy thoroughly..."

Alisa lowered her head, gently wiping her eyes. Then, her eyes lit up as she looked up, her face slightly flushed, trying to appear calm as she spoke. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Xiulote... it's early summer now, the festival of the Goddess of Spring is approaching... would you like to go with me... to that place...?"

"Ah? The festival of the Goddess of Spring? Where are we going?"

Upon hearing the name of the Goddess of Spring, Xiulote's eyes moved, and suddenly there was a bit of anticipation on his face. The Goddess of Spring presides over fertility, reproduction, and vitality, and her festival often carries a layer of special, enchanting meaning...

"Alisa, are we going to pray together? Or maybe take a trip to the hot springs at the foot of the Holy Mountain to the west?"

"No, we won't leave the Capital City... we're going to the lakeside temple of the Goddess of Spring! You'll hand over the income from the Lake Gem to me to manage. And I've obtained the management rights of the Temple of the Spring Goddess from my father... now, all the priestesses of the Texcoco Lake District are under my control, and they're managed by me!"

At this point, Alisa reached out her hand to caress Xiulote's ear, gently pinching it in her hand.

"You naughty monkey... we can go to the Goddess's temple, gather the skilled Dancing Priestesses... and then hold a grand and unforgettable blessing ceremony... perform the rituals of the Goddess of Spring, praying for new offspring!"

"What? Gather the Priestesses of the Goddess of Spring, perform the rituals of the Goddess of Spring, praying for new offspring? Isn't that, isn't that?!"

Upon hearing this, Xiulote gulped. As a competent Supreme High Priest, he knew very well what kind of enchanting scenes the priestesses' rituals involved...

"Alisa... you... don't test me with this... Sixteen Demons Dance..."

"Huh? What is Sixteen Demons Dance?... um, actually, what I've had them practice is the Twenty Spirit Fox Dance. Each skilled dancing 'Spirit Fox' represents a day among the twenty days... Xiulote, aren't you supposed to thoroughly enjoy? Hehe, consider this your reward!"

"Ah, this!... Twenty Spirit Fox Dance?... Reward? I... that..."

"Hmph! You naughty monkey! Your heart is racing, and you don't refuse immediately, you're obviously tempted!!"

Seeing Xiulote's reaction, Alisa's eyes widened instantly. She intertwined her fingers and twisted the naughty monkey's ear half a turn, 180 degrees.

"Xiulote, you really want to go!"

"Ah! Alisa... you can't, can't lure people like this!"

"Hmph! Lure? I'm catching a naughty monkey! Are you not a naughty monkey?"

Alisa pouted angrily, pressing down with her fingers while biting down hard on Xiulote's neck. Hearing Xiulote's painful yelp, she finally unclenched her teeth, giving a heavy "hmph."

"Hmph! So many young and beautiful priestesses, consider them your gain! But no matter what, without my permission... you absolutely cannot leave your divinity in another woman's body!"

"Your divinity is entirely mine! In the Lake Capital City, I have the final say... if you disobey, I will... bite you to death... and kill her too!"

"Ah!"

Hearing its master's shriek, the golden eagle Aviloztli, who was napping on a tree, was startled. It tilted its head watching for a while, then turned its little eyes dismissively.

The two masters have nothing to do all day and are here play-fighting like little green snakes again. But what's the point of acting like a little green snake, why not learn to sing with it?... Uh? Master's singing doesn't sound right either~~

"Yo-Yo! Yo!"
