Due to unknown reasons, everyone seemed to be agitated. The princess looked at her growing belly as an unknown fear is slowly making her feel like she wants to throw up. She wants everything to end soon. She stood up and she felt her head spinning. She looked for something to hold onto and while trying to balance herself in order not to fall, someone opened the door. She tried to focus and she saw her husband approaching her.
"Sho.." She mumbled and she felt his arms around her. She felt relieved and rested her head on his chest.
"I missed you so much.." She continued to mumble with her eyes closed. He nodded and left a kiss on her forehead.
"I need to take you away from here." He finally spoke but the fear in her heart grew when she heard a different voice. It is not her husband's voice.
She looked up and saw that it was Hokuto. Her head is still spinning, so she is feeling a little weak. She gripped on his arms tight and slowly pushed him away. She shook her head and went back to the bed. She should not go with Hokuto. She doesn't even know if it is really him. What if this person is just using other people's faces?
"No.. I will not go with you.." She whispered and before she could lose consciousness, she heard the door open once more.
"Who are you?! What are you doing to my daughter?!" The queen screamed and when she pulled his arm to see his face, her eyes widened as she saw that it was Riku.
With the queen's screams, the nephalems rushed to the room with Reiki. Riku grinned widely and carried the princess in his arms. They are wondering how he found the realm and on how he got the chance to enter it. Reiki pulled the queen away but she pushed him away and ran towards her daughter and granddaughter.
"Aniki, let them go." Reiki started and Gia gave him a questioning look. Reiki is the oldest among them. Why is he calling Riku aniki?
"It looks like you are not yet telling the truth to her." Riku grinned wider and Reiki gritted his teeth while Gia was staring at him as if she was demanding an explanation.
"What truth? Tell me! What truth?!" She shook Reiki's arms and before he could even tell her about it, her tears already fell from her eyes.
"My queen, I have no time to explain to you." Reiki said. Gia shook her head, feeling betrayed that he said those to her.
"No! Explain it to me! What is the truth?! Fuyu's what ifs are true, then?! You're her real father?! Tell me, Reiki! Tell me!" She clutched her chest tightly, feeling out of breath so sudden.
"What's happening? Gia, tell me what's happening." He cupped her cheeks while she's trying to gasp for some air. Riku let out a sinister laugh and he carefully put Fuyu down to have her in his arm while Gia in his other arm.
"We will go now." He smirked and right in front of them, he vanished with the two women. Likiya and Shohei's faces stiffened as they were still trying to find out how he located their realm.
"I will go back there." Riku said. He clenched his fists tight and he rushed out to get something from his room.
"What will we do?" Shohei asked their king but Likiya just shook his head since they are not really involved with their businesses.
"The underworld and heaven will finally continue the war." They all looked behind them when Kazuma spoke. The silver-haired man just arrived from heaven.
"All we should do is to watch them." Likiya said and he left the room already. Shohei heaved a deep sigh, knowing that he can't do anything for Fuyu.
Meanwhile in the underworld, Yuuki can't believe what his father just said. He wants him to betray the king, his own grandfather. He shook his head in disappointment. He knows that he misses his wife and unborn daughter already but betraying his own family member is the last thing he will do while being alive. Because of this, he told it to the king. His own son submitted him to the devil.
Sho is feeling weak while staring down his shackled wrists. He is feeling numb due to excruciating pain that his wounds on the back are producing. He is kneeling down on the ground and he slowly closes his eyes, wishing in his mind to keep Fuyu and the little princess safe. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of military boots in front of him. He looked up and saw Hokuto standing there.
"What do you want?" He mumbled. He had no strength to fight him for now. He thought he would take revenge but he raised his brow when Hokuto took the shackles off from his wrists.
"Go. I just saw Fuyu and Gia at the kingdom's hall. Protect her as I know I can't do it. I know she loves you, genuinely. Do the things I can never do anymore. Please, make her happy." He doesn't know what is happening but when he mentioned that the two women are there, he rushed out of the cell, forgetting to thank Hokuto.
Running in the hallways feels like he is running in an endless labyrinth. He ignored how painful his whole body is. He needs to protect her. He needs to protect Fuyu and their little princess. He finally arrived and he ran towards Fuyu's side. She is still unconscious but sooner or later, she might already wake up.
"Stop all of these! That's the main reason why no one loves you!" He roared in anger while looking up at the king.
"You defied me and that's your punishment." Riku stared down at him coldly and Sho looked down when he felt a weak grasp on his sleeve.
"Love, I think.. I will give birth soon." She mumbled and she swallowed a lump of saliva. She gripped on him tighter and she started screaming loudly when her water broke.
