Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

The throne room was void of the Royal Guards, who usually kept watch over the Dragon King. Only a select few were inside the room in order to prevent the scandal from spreading in the Dragon Kingdom. "How and when did this happen?" the Dragon King of Karshvar Draconis, Azza, growled as he did his best to restrain himself from shouting in anger. "Who is the bastard who did this to my daughter? Where were the two of you when it happened?"

Ali shook his head because she really didn't have any idea about how Valerie became pregnant. She was in complete disbelief because she had always been with the Dragon Princess, whom she treated like a little sister that she needed to protect.

Ari, who was aware of what had transpired, was about to speak up when Aurelia suddenly took a step forward and answered the Dragon King's question.

"It happened on the night of the party in Espoir Frieden," Aurelia answered. "Valerie, Ali, Ari, Lux, and myself decided to hold our own drinking party inside Lady Hereswith's Residence.

"At that time, we weren't aware that someone had slipped an aphrodisiac in the wine that Ali and Ari took from the kitchen of the Royal Palace. When we realized what was happening, it was already too late.

"The aphrodisiac had already taken effect, and we were too drunk and too intoxicated to resist it. On that night, Lux had made all of us his women."

Azza slammed his fists on the armrest of his throne and shouted. "That bastard! How dare he?!"

Lady Faustina, who was standing at the side, frowned because she couldn't remember anyone named Lux. Also, she felt incredibly guilty because she was supposed to be Valerie's Guardian. And yet, something like this had happened right under her nose.

She was also very angry and wished that she could meet this Lux and strangle him to death for getting the Princess of Karshvar Draconis pregnant.

Suddenly, Aurelia's face turned pale, and she hurriedly covered her lips. Lady Augustina, who had come with her, pressed her palm against her back and cast a recovery spell to make her feel better.

After she regained her composure, she once again looked at the King of Karshvar Draconis, who had a sneer plastered on his face.

"So, he also got you pregnant huh?" Azza said in contempt. "If only I knew that it would end this way, I would have killed that insect the first time he came to my Kingdom."

Queen Saphira lightly patted Valerie's back as she looked at her husband with a frown on her face.

"What do we do now?" Queen Saphira asked. "We can't let this news spread, or it will ruin our daughter's image in our people's eyes."

Azza narrowed his gaze because there was only one way to settle this matter, and that was to marry Valerie off to someone, giving their family the perfect excuse for her pregnancy.

Lady Augustina was thinking along these lines as well, and both of their gazes met, coming to an understanding.

But before they could say anything, Aurelia spoke up and made her thoughts known to them.

"I know that the perfect solution to this mess is for Valerie and me to marry each other, and go somewhere far away so that both of us can give birth without having our reputations destroyed," Aurelia stated. "I don't have any issue with this, but I have a proposal to make."

"Speak," Azza stated.

Aurelia glanced at Valerie, who was also looking at her with a worried look on her face.

"I propose that Valerie and I seek the help of Lady Hereswith, and ask to have the two of us sheltered inside the World Tree of Espoir Frieden," Aurelia said. "We can tell outsiders that she has chosen us to become her Disciples and have to live with her in order to do our training.

"If people were to discover our condition, we can just say that we fell in love with each other and chose to become life-long partners. "In the first place, Dragons rarely marry each other, and public events are only held for the members of the Nobility and the Royal Family. I think this is the most optimal solution to our current predicament."

Azza scoffed after hearing Aurelia's proposal, but he also understood the merit of this plan. In fact, Aurelia had more to lose with this setup. If someone were to discover that she was pregnant, the people of the Crystal Palace would realize that their Prince was actually a Princess.

"Don't tell me that you plan to wait until that Half-Elf returns," Azza stated. "I'm telling you now that even if he returns, I'm going to murder him for what he did to my daughter."

"You can do whatever you want," Aurelia replied firmly. "But, let me tell you this. When Valerie still had her memory, she was the one who insisted that Lux let her give birth to his baby."

Valerie, who was listening to the entire conversation from start to finish, looked at Aurelia in disbelief.

"I did?" Valerie asked. "I asked this… Lux guy to get me pregnant?"

"You did," Aurelia replied. "You were the most proactive between the two of us. Although I didn't mind the possibility of giving birth to his child, it was you who seriously wanted to have his baby. You could even say that I was influenced by you."

King Azza and Queen Saphira looked at their daughter in disbelief.

Never would they have thought that their shy and obedient daughter would be so bold as to ask a man to get her pregnant on her own volition.

"Is this true?" Azza asked Ari, who seemed to also remember the Half-Elf, whom he wanted to kill.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ari replied. "The Princess was the one who wished to bear his child."

All Supremes were able to tell if the one they were talking to was lying or not.

King Azza could tell that Aurelia wasn't lying, but he still asked Ari for confirmation.

Hearing her handmaiden's statement, Valerie's face turned beet red, and she wished to deny everything that Aurelia and Ari had said about her.

But just as she was about to do that, her heart skipped a beat as if she was about to make a grave mistake, making her unable to say what was on her mind.

The Dragon King noticed his daughter's hesitation, making him feel helpless. A rare sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back on this throne, thinking about whether he should accept Aurelia's proposal or not.

At that moment, Aurelia's voice spread inside the room, making everyone look in her direction.
