Hunting the Creator

Chapter 43 Baby

The hero Mikhail left after that fateful day, he mourned the death of his unfaithful sister. Even if it was under his own hand he didn’t blame himself for such, he just regretted ever leaving her to go to her very first lone mission. If it wasn’t for that one mission, they would have still been together happily laughing and enjoying their company with their Panthers.

The week had gone smoothly for everyone else, but of course not for Karim, by the time Déwei finished, he felt as if the true animal was the crown prince turned Emperor. Karim would cry from the pleasure, but instead of Déwei stopping he would lose all reasoning and keep up his speeding momentum. Karim was sure he had passed out four times, reawakening with the devil still going at it.

In the end, his waist was sore, and his mind made up to kill the bastard for filling him up so much to the point of having the entire bed pulled out and burned.

The sheets and the entire mattress was changed by bashful faced maids who came back with butlers carrying a new bed and freshly scented sheets. They didn’t see their Emperor or the panther, but was sure where they were from the still slightly mewing sounds from the grand bathroom connected to their bedroom.

After their physical workout, Déwei stepped out of their bedroom after kissing his wife on the forehead and stood with a new found shine to his aura. Refreshed and full of charge he attended the court council and dealt with problems that needed to be fixed.

During that time Karim cursed at the Emperor, while Mikhail was on standby if a war was to break out.

And if the story plot had commenced the way Karim had laid it out, he was sure that their enemy will become their ally and their ally the enemy. Everything was simple possibilities, what could have happened what couldn’t have happened. All he needed was to conclude their most possible route depending on their personality. And the main one that could help him in reading someone’s person was indeed the system itself.

Three months had passed when the system finally announced the status of their allied kingdom.

[Bondulia Kingdom has broken their peace treaty and are in the process of commencing a blitz attack towards Uruvu Empire.] The system announced as it appeared before Karim on the bed, his stomach had a huge bulge and was surrounded by almost ten maids to cater to his every wish.

Not even half a month later, when the pregnancy was discovered, had the Emperor announced his new Empress and crowned Karim himself. Everyone wanted to protest but how could they when the Emperor himself was a blood thirsty tyrant, not only that his ruling was much better than his father. The crime rate had gone significantly down, poverty was almost gone, children from their lower class, that were unable to pay for an education have been given education. Their academy had become public to an extent and allowed children to learn if they could prove to be useful to the Empire. Whether they will enroll in the military, scholar or even a shop keeper, they let them be able to attend school without pay, as long as they kept their grades above eighty could they stay in the grand academy.

It had become an Empire that everyone wished to live in, and finally they had the chance.

From his ability to govern an Empire, no one was able to speak up from the untraditional and abomination of a bloodline that the panther will taint. They didn’t understand but they couldn’t speak their regrets and doubts.

Not only that, when the first court council member suggested taking in an Empress and making the panther a simple concubine, the Emperor simply nodded, excused everyone, and left to rest for the day. The next day revealed that the council member and his family were completely wiped off the Empire in a gruesome massacre.

After the obvious warning to the others, no one had ever brought up the topic of concubines.

Karim’s coronation was silent, but with a single cold glare, everyone gushed with excitement and happiness.

And now there lay Karim, his belly filling a life form and surrounded by proper and professional assassin maids. Making sure that their Empress was both protected and taken care of.

When will the blitz attack take place? Karim sat up, as he did, two maids quickly came to his side and helped him up as if he was a fragile jewel.

[Precisely, one month, three days, two hours, four minutes, and twenty seconds. Deduced by their conduct of living.] The system spoke with absolute certainty.

Good work, all I need to do is wait for this child to be born.

[Correction master, children.] The system said matter of fact.

Two? How trouble-

[Five master.]

…

He couldn’t process what his system had said, he was shocked and frozen as he was in the middle of standing. Concerning the maids.

“Empress Karim, is everything alright? Does his Royal Highness need a doctor?” The maid to his right spoke up.

“How is his Highness feeling?” The one to his left spoke.

“I’m fine, just feeling the Cubs.” Karim reassured.

“There are two babies?” One maid said in shock.

“Five.” Karim corrected.

Quickly without hesitating, an assistant head maid bolted out the door.

“Where is Lou going?” Karim asked as he looked with a raised eyebrow.

“Sister Lou has gone to inform his Imperial Majesty the Emperor about the children.” The head maid spoke up as she gave a serious nod and a deep bow. “Us simple maids have been ordered to inform his Imperial Majesty the Emperor about your Highness the Empress’ development.”

“How troublesome that beast.” Karim sighed in irritation at his overprotective husband.

The maids would have tensed up by the insult directed towards their boss, but if it wasn’t for the constant verbally harsh words that were always directed to the Emperor’s face they would have lit a candle for the Empress. Who knew the Emperor better than them? He was cold and sought blood at every turn he took. Never smiled or gave any form of emotion. Yet when this beauty of a panther showed up, he turned like a completely different person. The non-gentle slaps that the panther gave towards the Emperor were harsh, but the Emperor, and even they, could clearly see the affection Karim showed when he insulted his husband and barely gave him a scratch.

For his Empress, the Emperor would conquer the entire world.

As they all shuffled to one side, the two maids helped Karim out of the room and out into the garden. The rooms have been switched out, as to not cause extra strain to the pregnant Karim, both Emperor and Empress slept on the first floor, directly behind the garden to make sure his wife had a pass time of tending to the gardens… As much of an Insult it was to Karim he didn’t really mind, he was of course bored out of his mind, but since he couldn’t do anything that requires force, in case he was punished gently by his husband, he might as well do something than nothing.

A set of running feet echoed down the hallway of the castle, the door to the room was burst open and there stood a disheveled husband, not an Emperor, but a husband. He looked around and spotted his wife outside and laying on the ground, sun bathing.

“ARI!” Déwei shouted in both excitement and worry.

“Too loud. Shut up you idiot Emperor.” Karim huffed as he ran a hand through his tied up black hair, moving the loose strands away from his face.

“Is it true?” Déwei asked, not minding his wife’s spit fire mood, since it was mainly the pregnancy talking “Five, we’re having five?!”

His lips twitched as he thought of the children running all around the castle halls.

“What, did you expect one?” Karim scoffed. “I am a panther for a reason, we give birth to at least two or three, it’s rare to have five but either way it’s a blessing, or what, do you not want so many of my Cubs?” Karim opened his eyes, his golden orbs turning threateningly towards the Emperor who was now kneeling before him, daring him to agree with him.

“The opposite, when you’ve given birth let’s have more.” He said as his eyes darkened and licked his lips.

“You animal, scram and get me some food, I’m hungry.” Karim blushed as he turned to the side to hide his face, which everyone had already seen.

Everyone smiled at such beautiful and unreasonable mood swings of their Empress.
