New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

"..." Fabio was taken aback by his son's accusatory glare and impudent question.

"What nonsense are you asking, Calderon?" He looked at his son sternly and retorted back. He even released some of his dragon aura for his misbehaving son to wake up to his senses.

However, it only made Calderon even more aggressive with his glint turning colder as he repeated the question.

"Just answer my question, Father… Do you dare to swear that you have not cheated on your mother in any way?"

"Your question is so nonsensical and silly… I dare to swear that I only have your mother in my heart and she only had me as well!" Furious at his son's uncanny actions, Fabio answered angrily.

He looked at his son saying" Now I answered your question, can you stop acting like that?"

But Calderon not only wiped away the trace of hostility in his eyes, he even turned around and went on his way to the dining hall without even saying a word to his father.

"This lad!" Fabio had the urge to catch up to his son and discipline him on the spot but he did not want to cause a commotion in the palace so early in the morning. Thus, he could only grit his teeth and begrudgingly head to the dining hall himself.

The two finally arrived and saw that Elifas, Kayden, Eli, and Little Han were already seated with the Grandchief  Fafnir, his wife Alynne, and Fabio's wife Shesha.

"You two have been late, come forth… our guest should have been hungry already…" Shesha did not detect the unusual air between the father and son duo as she immediately beckoned them to join the breakfast table.

The atmosphere was quite welcoming and endearing as well, especially when the elder couple expressed their interest in Little Han and Eli.

"After this, let us go to my study and discuss the matter," Kayden told me last night. Most probably, Valentin will also be there to talk with us." As the meal was about to end, Grandchief Fafnir looked at Eli and Kayden, reminding them about the discovery they found last night.

"We understand, Grand Chief…" Kayden replied as Eli nodded and expressed her agreement.

"By the way, do you young ones have any plans to take Little Han around the village?" Alynne looked at Elifas and Calderon who sat just next to Little Han which was quite unusual knowing that his parents are just across the table.

"About that,  we do have plans Grandma… but I do think that you and Grandpa should be the ones to help us carry out our plan." Calderon looked at the two quite mysteriously as he explained.

Already wary of his son's unusual behavior, Fabio observed Calderon's words and actions. He readied himself to stop him should he say or do anything to the group.

However, the lad only looked at his Grandpa and Grandma, waiting for their reply before he continued.

"Go ahead, speak your mind." Grand chief Fafnir nodded his head and looked at the three boys. While Elifas and Calderon were of the same age, Little Han was at least thirteen years younger than them, however, it seems like they were close with the child who was barely two years old.

They even treat and talk to Little Han like they were of the same age!

And so Fafnir and Alynne were actually curious about their plans, could it be mischievous that would cause quite a commotion in the dragon village?

They didn't know… but because they were dying to know about it, the old couple still allowed Calderon to communicate what he wanted.

Calderon did not open his mouth to explain when he received his grandparent's permission. Instead, he and Elifas looked at Little Han, nodding at him with encouraging expressions.

Eli and Kayden also looked curiously. They have known that since the visitation on the Silver Dew Forest, the boys formed a kind of friendship that does not care about their age difference.

While Eli wanted Little Han to have friends of his age, she also would not object for him to having older friends who talk to him according to his mental age. After all, she wanted to strike the balance between Little Han's physical age and brilliant mind.

"Big Bwother Caldewon… pleeze…" Receiving Elifas and Calderon's gaze, Little Han reached out on his bear-shaped space pouch and took out Wisey's egg which was already resting in the dragon nest.

His chubby hand was too little for the size of the nest and Wisey's egg and so he pleaded at Calderon to help him take the egg up to the table.

Just like that, Wisey's egg was presented to everyone at the table.

Clang!

Everyone was awakened by the loud sound of the silverware falling into Shesha's plate.

"Ah, pardon me… M-my hand slipped." Shesha looked at Kayden, Eli, and Little Han apologetically as she forced a smile.

Fabio also frowned, but because he was worried about Shesha, he immediately went near her and asked if she was alright.

The old couple also froze for a second but their expressions immediately recovered. But the reaction of the four was already enough for the rest of the table in the room, except for the innocent Little Han to know that there was something unusual about Wisey's egg being revealed to everyone.

And so Eli wanted to stand up and ask her son to quietly hide the egg for a while. She was planning to coax him to just meet the grand chief in private and discuss if he can help in hatching Wisey.

For she already figured everything out the moment she saw Little Han taking out Wisey's egg. Little Han was asking for the Grand Chief's assistance to help Wisey wake up again.

While Eli was deeply moved by her son's gesture, she was also worried that this would offend the dragon chief's family. She had to consider the fact that she would have to leave Little Han in the territory, and so, she had to ensure that Little Han won't offend anyone around.

"Hmm… it seems like you three are asking if I have an idea to hatch that egg am I right?" Fafnir beat Eli with his words as he looked at the boys and Wisey's egg with a profound expression.

"Yessh… gwanpa… pleezze help Johann…" Little Han answered with his childish voice while his face was wearing a dead serious expression, just like how Calderon and Elifas nodded in seriousness.

"This…" Eli was shocked and taken aback. She did not quite know how to react at the moment as this was the very first time her son pulled something like this without her knowing. She looked at the Grandchief nervously and then at the people around.

"Hahaha! Alright then, I'll help you because you called me grandpa! You know how to charm an old bone like me eh…" Grand Chief Fafnir chuckled as he looked at Little Han dotingly. He was clearly pleased with the way Little Han asked for a favor.

In the end, even after he saw something that he did not expect to see at all, he set that aside to help the innocent child. Besides, it seems like his grandson and Eirllon's grandson help him set this moment up as well.

"Well then, let's talk about it in the study. Young Lady Eli and Little Han, I invite you to my study and discuss the hatching of this egg first. After that, we will go back to our discussion about last night's concern." He announced.

The adults understood Chief Fafnir's announcement and so as soon as they finished the meal, everyone excused themselves while Eli and Little Han followed Fafnir and Alynne obediently.

"Come…" Alynne looked at them with a smile as she invited them to Fafnir's study.

When everyone settled down, Fafnir and Alynne asked Eli about the origin of the egg to which she briefly explained how Wisey became injured and has been lying dormant since then.

While she was doing that, she did not miss the attention the old couple was giving not to the egg,  but to the dragon nest itself.

Sensing their emotions, Eli also told them that someone from the knights gave it to Little Han upon knowing that he wanted to hatch Wisey's egg.

When they heard it, the old couple's bodies jolted but their facial expressions remained calm.

"Well… actually your spirit beast was not far from waking up as I can see…" Fafnir also sensed that Eli could have figured out something and so he set aside his turmoil for a moment and focused on the little one's 'trouble' at the moment.

"She is about to wake up?" Eli looked at Fafnir with Little Han on her lap, her face was of confusion and disbelief.

"Well she was indeed in a dormant state and she needed a lot of spiritual and heat energy to hatch. But the conditions were already achieved except for one.

That is to use something that belongs to her world to help her crack the eggshell!"
