Chapter 857: Chapter 439: Congratulations, You Have Become a Father (Part 2)

"Don’t worry about them, how is Beatrice doing?"

"Her Majesty has been in a deep sleep."

"She hasn’t woken up?"

"Her Majesty... might need a bit of your help."

"What do you mean?"

"It’s about the Eldest Princess," a voice as calm as a still well surfaced.

A few people looked up and saw Beatrice’s dedicated lady-in-waiting, Qian.

"Qian, long time no see."

Louis greeted the lady-in-waiting.

The lady-in-waiting nodded and then looked at the little swan and black swan, then said after a moment:

"I’ll inform you of the details next."

She led the few of them into the Imperial Palace.

The group followed.

Louis’s gaze grew sharper, and he quickly noticed something unusual:

"Qian, has something happened? You look very tired."

"Her Majesty Beatrice encountered a small issue."

In an instant, the three of them stopped in their tracks.

Louis anxiously said, "I’ll go check it out."

"Hold on, it’s not a big problem."

The somewhat anxious Louis finally stopped reluctantly, and said eagerly:

"What’s wrong with Beatrice?"

"Is it about the child?"

"If there’s a risk to the mother and child, we should first ensure..."

"Stop, stop, Lord Louis, please don’t let your thoughts wander too far, it’s really just a minor issue."

She felt that if she didn’t explain quickly, Louis might unravel.

She took a deep breath and said, "The treatment room in the Imperial Palace has confirmed, it’s the Eldest Princess."

"I like a daughter too."

"The problem lies with the Eldest Princess. Did you... perhaps obtain some special bloodline?"

Louis was taken aback and said:

"I used the demigod bloodline elixir of Tunisia’s Thirteen Clans, but that stuff is more like an external attachment, not really a bloodline, right?"

"Logically, it indeed isn’t, but it’s a form of bloodline power, a special force that can constantly be passed down to the next generation."

"If that’s the case, I indeed acquired similar power."

"That’s it, the Eldest Princess inherited part of your power, and it is precisely because of this that she has absorbed a part of Her Majesty’s Eye of Truth’s power."

Louis was dumbfounded.

Is there really such a thing?

Qian explained:

"Under normal circumstances, elevating your bloodline alone shouldn’t impact Her Majesty. But when Her Majesty was conscious, she said the bloodline emerged because of you and not to worry."

Louis raised an eyebrow. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Beatrice has always been someone who makes very precise judgments.

There must be a reason for her response.

Soon, an authority skill came to Louis’s mind.

The power of the Crown of Lust from the sin of Lust.

The crown summoned by the Crown of Lust, once placed on a lover, tightly entwines their fates.

Previously, he never quite understood what this ’entwinement of fates’ meant.

But if Beatrice and his child unexpectedly responded to his bloodline’s call, growing stronger inside the womb, and affecting Beatrice’s absorption of the Eye of Truth...

Then the first thing that came to his mind was this ability.

"Crown of Lust... can directly affect my and the crowned one’s child?"

This is the first time he knew such a situation exists.

After thinking it over briefly, he suddenly felt that this all made sense.

Previously, he felt that her sin of Lust, compared to other sins, was even weaker than Lust of previous generations.

Although still terrifyingly powerful, it couldn’t quite exert the deterrent force of the seven deadly sins.

But now it seems he might have misunderstood.

It’s not that the sin of Lust isn’t powerful, but that Louis’s own developmental direction was somewhat peculiar.

The true anomaly was himself.

Unlike other sins of Lust, which focus on enhancing one’s own power, Louis went from one extreme to another.

Other sins of Lust gain strength through certain acts.

But Louis was different.

He demonstrated the power of Lust more through others, and it involved those who genuinely shared feelings with him.

This meant that to fully harness his own power of Lust, it required more of a partnership.

Like Louis with Beatrice, Louis with the little swan...

Once the basic conditions were met, there was no need for a cost; it would directly elevate the partner’s power to a new height.

And the quality of the partner would also directly affect him.

He originally thought this was already quite extravagant.

If he were a bit more promiscuous, learned from Chen Gou, or simply followed the path of some protagonists in multi-child blessings systems, it wouldn’t take long to become everyone’s great overlord.

Unfortunately, this scenario is inherently a paradox.

To gain authority skills in this direction of Lust, Louis must actively abandon the idea of "indulging in a harem."

And once that idea is abandoned, he couldn’t go back to take that route and fully utilize the upper limits of Lust’s power.

What’s this considered?

Wanting to invest requires capital, and to get capital you have to invest?

Without external intervention, it’s a direct deadlock, right?

But perhaps now he discovered another worthwhile path to explore.

That is to directly inject the power of Lust intensely, blending it into the bodies of loved ones, and let their children inherit even stronger power.

Heaven help us...

Beatrice and his daughter, the Empire’s future Eldest Princess, haven’t even been born yet and already have the potential to wield rule-based power.

The demigod monster bloodline power of the Thirteen Clans, even he as a father hasn’t completely mastered it, and yet it’s already manifesting through the destiny line in his daughter.

Adding the Eye of Truth...

He couldn’t dare imagine the strength that child could exert once grown up.

Be aware, the Eye of Truth, the earlier it’s mastered, the harder it becomes to utilize the advantage of time.

He suddenly recalled a thought he had before, a flash of insight to combine the Thirteen Clans’ bloodline and potentially produce offspring naturally born with demigod potential.

Surpassing the demigod monster bloodline itself, a truly Divine Realm offspring, meant reaching the pinnacle of demigod as an adult.

It seems now his daughter has already started to show signs of this.

"Would you two like to come in with me?"

Louis turned his head to look at the two women.

Olivia and Ais exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

Their anxiety was no less than Louis’s.

In the end, it was only after seeing Sister Wang with their own eyes that they could feel at ease.

Soon, they were deep inside the bedchamber, seeing Beatrice sleeping on the crystal bed.

The crystal bed radiated beautiful light, clearly not a natural creation.

The special energy flowing inside constantly converged on Beatrice, making her seem as if she was in the eye of a storm.

Qian smiled and said:

"Her Majesty at moments like this resembles a sleeping princess, doesn’t she?"

"Right now, she is the Empire’s Empress, nothing about a princess compares to her."

Louis gave his calm assessment.

Which little princess could compare to the ruler of one of the three great human nations, Empress of Ense?

What?

You say the little swan and black swan might compare?

What are you talking about?

When Beatrice became Empress, the little swan was no longer a princess, automatically stepping up a level.

The same went for the black swan.

So this evaluation is correct.

"Can I approach her?"

Louis looked at Qian.

Qian nodded and said:

"Her Majesty actually wanted to wait for you to return, but the transmission couldn’t wait for anyone, so after the basic issue of the Eldest Princess was addressed, she fell into slumber again."

Louis had already walked to the side of the sleeping Beatrice.

Her appearance as she slept with her eyes closed truly appeared breathtaking.

His eyes silently transformed into the Eye of Truth.

His gaze fell upon Beatrice, soon sensing the small life inside her that emitted a strong aura.

At that moment, he felt a kind of indescribable emotion.

It was the child of him and his beloved, the culmination of their love.

And also a continuation of their beautiful times now.

And now, that young life was joyfully conveying a message, as if wanting to speak for Beatrice–

Congratulations, you have become a father.
