Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 564 - 562 New Life
Chapter 564: Chapter 562 New Life
On Ye Song Great Plain of the Southern Territory, the Komor Empire remains the unshakable overlord of all forces.
In the heart of Imperial Capital Yuyue City, the Dark Night Imperial Court, possessing both splendor and elegance, is situated here. Its mistress is Lu Lu Xiyu, the maternal granddaughter of the previous Kemor Empress.
Lately, Lu Lu Xiyu hasn’t made any public appearances, rumor has it that the Grand Dame has gone out to wander for training.
This was also for the purpose of training, and for this, the Dark Night Elves could only silently send their blessings, wishing Grand Dame Lu Lu Xiyu would achieve the title of ‘Kemor Empress’ at the earliest.
What outsiders don’t know is that recently, Lu Lu Xiyu has actually been hiding within the Imperial Court, without taking a single step outside.
“What am I supposed to say about you? You claimed you’d go out to find the opportunity to break through to the Lord level, and what happened? You brought back a child, and you’ve been refusing to clearly say who the father is.”
“But I truly did find the opportunity to break through to the Lord level. This child’s coming was at an inconvenient time, I can only wait a little longer.”
In a secret garden deep within the Imperial Court, Lu Lu Xiyu was once again being chided by High Priest Kolebas; this was not the first time.
Lu Lu Xiyu, with her bulging belly, sat on a floral chair, and her response was in one ear and out the other.
Originally, Lu Lu Xiyu intended to keep the secret from everyone, but this child being born was somewhat special. The gestation period far exceeded that of normal people, and she eventually revealed a flaw, which High Priest Kolebas discovered.
Actually, it’s not a big deal.
Although somewhat reluctant to admit it, this old woman is indeed an old childhood friend, a confidant, and she would never do anything that would harm me.
It’s just as well; now there’s someone to cover for me.
It’s just that she’s too nagging, not knowing how to ease up on a pregnant woman, no wonder she’s been unwanted all her life.
“Thump thump!”
“What is it, what’s the matter?”
Hearing the sound of the cane thumping heavily on the ground, Lu Lu Xiyu regained her senses, only to see High Priest Kolebas with an expression full of displeasure. She hurriedly pretended to ask innocently.
“Enough, stop pretending. Considering you are pregnant, I can’t be bothered to argue with you,” the High Priest glared at her, seeing her plump figure, she could not help but sigh with resignation.
“This is what I hate most about you, always mouthing ‘old, old, old’.”
Lu Lu Xiyu muttered, knowing full well that she is actually a few months older than Kolebas.
The two, one a dazzling young lady, and the other looking like an old woman—if not for those well-acquainted with the truth, it would be hard to tell that they were born in the same year.
“You—-I can’t even with you,” the High Priest was nearly driven to laughter by anger.
“It’s true,” Lu Lu Xiyu simply stated.
“Alright, alright, keep your skills in changing the subject away from me. You won’t tell me who the child’s father is, but I can guess. Besides that human sorcerer who is closely connected with Jenny, I doubt there is anyone else,” the High Priest quickly realized that this was the opponent’s tactic to shift the topic, nearly being led astray by Lu Lu Xiyu.
She carefully considered the men that Lu Lu Xiyu knew, and combining Lu Lu Xiyu’s status, position, and strength, she quickly locked onto a suspect.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lu Xiyu remained silent.
“I don’t understand, how did you two, from opposite corners of the earth, end up together?” the High Priest was quite puzzled.
“It’s the guidance of destiny,” Lu Lu Xiyu earnestly stated.
“It really is Ivan Marichardon,” the High Priest exclaimed indignantly.
The High Priest remembered clearly that Lu Lu Xiyu once personally predicted that man would become her prince consort. Although Lu Lu Xiyu’s premonitions tend to come true eight or nine times out of ten, what was unexpected was that things would happen so quickly.
At this moment, the High Priest absolutely did not want to realize that it was she who had sent her old friend to him, and for this, she had bitterly pestered him for half a year straight.
“He is a very good man,”Lu Lu Xiyu voiced her opinion, unfazed by being prodded in her conversation.
“No, I must take people to find that human sorcerer, he’s currently in the Underground World, isn’t he?” The more the High Priest thought about it, the angrier he became, and he turned around to go look for trouble.
“Stop!”
It was then that Lu Lu Xiyu finally stood up, her figure spry and not at all like that of a pregnant woman, and quickly intercepted the High Priest.
“Listen, you are not allowed to go find him.”
“Are you defending that bastard?”
“Think whatever you want, but he is now an Arcane Wizard, as well as a Knight King. You and I definitely can’t beat him. Once he becomes aware of the child’s existence, guess what he will do?”
Faced with Lu Lu Xiyu’s questioning, the High Priest Kolebas was a bit confused.
Has that person become a lord already?
And an exceedingly powerful Grand Lord at that.
“Take the child away?”
“Exactly, he will definitely find a way to take my child, but you should also know, at our age, how difficult it is to conceive a child—”
“Don’t give me that, about how at your age it’s difficult to become pregnant, save your lies for strangers.”
“Kikiki, what I mean is that conception is not easy, especially since I will soon advance to lord level, and the chances will be even slimmer. Can you bear to see the child of the Dubois family abandoned?”
“Of course, the child cannot be abandoned. Given your current condition, this child’s talents are bound to be exceptional.”
“Then you should know what we need to do now, right?”
The High Priest was not confused by Lu Lu Xiyu’s words and, after careful thought, she immediately changed her initial plan. Indeed, it was not suitable for that person to know about the child.
As for what to do?
Naturally, it’s to seal off the news, blocking any possible leaks. If it weren’t for Jenny, the Holy Daughter, hiding Lu Lu Xiyu in the temple would have been a good plan. Now, they could only think of more plans within the Imperial Court.
Thus, the two of them began to discuss enthusiastically.
…
Time flows like water, and more than two years have passed since Lu Lu Xiyu left in high spirits.
Vermilion Bird Valley.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
This was the name Ivan gave to the newly developed place of residence, and it was exactly the area just outside the two hidden sanctuaries.
After such a long period of adjustment, coupled with the nurturing of various Formations, Vermilion Bird Valley had become a place suitable for human habitation. However, he had not yet ordered the relocation of people to the area.
“What exactly is going on?”
Lately, Ivan’s mind had been somewhat unsettled.
At his level of power, it wasn’t possible for him to have such inexplicable fluctuations without reason. This was likely a premonition, indicating that something big was about to happen.
“Could it be that Jenny is about to complete her advancement?”
After considering all possibilities, his thoughts landed on Jenny, whom he hadn’t been in contact with for a long time.
Based on the timeline, Jenny should finish her transformation and advancement within the next two or three years, and indeed, only matters related to Jenny could inexplicably stir his emotions.
With this realization, his mind settled significantly, and he even looked toward the distance filled with anticipation.
At this moment, Ivan had not even thought about Lu Lu Xiyu, seeing as the two had already parted ways for over two years, nearly two and a half years. According to normal logic, no woman would be pregnant for so long.
He hadn’t even considered the matter of pregnancy.
With the seclusion of the Kemor Empire, he deduced that the chances of him having an offspring were incredibly slim.
Thus, unbeknownst to Ivan, the father, a new life was about to quietly enter the world.
