Martial Cultivator Transmigrates To The Future ABO - Chapter 159
Nehand was a little anxious to officially meet Mu Liang, she no longer had an irrational hatred for the half-elf as they went through a life and death adventure.
Of course, she didn’t imagine that she would meet her other son-in-law along with Mu Liang, so Emery wasn’t the only one surprised and a little embarrassed by the unexpected encounter.
The room was in tense silence for a few minutes until Bae Dong ordered the snacks and coffee to be brought, which Mu Liang particularly became addicted to, mainly, the coffee variations be it with milk, cream, chocolate, spices, he had he liked absolutely everything but the extra strong coffee which tasted too strong and bitter to him.
“Nice to meet you, your majesty” Mu Liang said leaning forward and placing his left hand over his heart formally greeting his mother-in-law.
“Nice to meet you, your majesty” Emery mimicked Mu Liang’s gesture, he felt strangely nervous.
This was his first time in eternity that he had met a mother-in-law, of course, he didn’t feel he was prepared for this encounter, his face took on shades of pink wondering if he was acting correctly.
“It doesn’t have to be so formal, you can call me Nehand as we will soon become family,” Nehand said allowing the two omegas to straighten their waists and sit across from her.
“Thank you, Nehand,” Prince Mu and Emery said at the same time with some relief, the atmosphere around the retired empress was warm and she didn’t look as terrifying as their companions had spoken before.
“This is my personal assistant, Count Albane Phomello, and my first knight Albane Kashka,” Nehand said introducing the two men beside her.
“Are they from the same family?” Emery asked curiously, only to find he said something wrong and foolish.
“They’re a couple,” Nehand said with a mischievous chuckle, which made Phomello feel shy, but with so many years of being bullied by the retired empress, his face didn’t change expression, continuing with the same cordial smile.
“Oh,” Mu Liang said a little surprised. He knew from the faint scent of Phomello’s pheromones that he was an omega, but Kashka must have been a Beta since he didn’t feel his pheromones.
Betas also have pheromones, but their scent was weaker and only stood out when they were turned on, which is different from an Alpha and Omega that pheromones are always around.
So far he has only seen alpha and omega couples, the first time he is seeing a beta and omega couple.
“I was also surprised when I found the two of them playing in the stable many years ago. You see, it may not seem like it, but Phomello was quite shy and withdrawn, Kashka already seemed very playful and not serious… Hehehe, look, they’re just blushing now… Ah, but they weren’t ashamed before, right?”
Nehand nudged Phomello who couldn’t keep his composure, Kashka gave a dry cough to hide his laughter. Unlike his husbandMother-in-laws and sons-in-law., Kashka didn’t remember this with shame, but rather proudly.
Phomello due to various traumas could not get along with an Alpha, even with Kashka who is a Beta it took years of living together until the omega was taken to the altar, that day in the stable happened like a miracle as if he could reach the stars With the hands.
“Your Majesty!” Phomello couldn’t stand the bullying and complain, he looked at Mu Liang and Emery who felt vaguely sympathetic to him.
“Okay, okay, I won’t keep playing with your playful past,” Nehand said raising his eyebrows a few times teasingly, which drew low chuckles from Mu Liang and Emery, Kashka coughed once more to hide her laughter.
“So let’s get down to serious business now. Emery, what do you intend with my son?” Nehand asked after they were finished with some snacks.
The conversation so far had been quiet and trivial, which caught Emery off guard, Nehand’s sharp, clean gaze showing that the question wasn’t a joke.
“I have the best intentions towards your son” Emery replied quickly, but he felt his face sting, he felt like he was one of those soft-spoken men who want to take someone’s daughter.
“Oh, the best intentions involve giving him an heir too?” Nehand asked in a cold tone.
“This…it’s too early for this,” Emery said feeling even more nervous.
Is he a titan having children like an omega?
Don’t play with him!
Emery for a moment found himself imagining having a son who would look similar to Ade and maybe his good personality too, he didn’t know if it was because he was an omega, but he felt his heart soften just imagining such a baby in his arms.
“In fact, the most important thing is whether you’re ready to be an empress.” Nehand didn’t make it easy for Emery.
“I don’t know if I’m ready for this position, I don’t have any experience with such a thing, but I hope to learn a lot from your majesty,” Emery said very humbled.
Of course, he had no idea what it was like to rule, after all, he was Kronos an old titan who had already been controlling and ruling many gods eons ago.
However, he was also telling the truth at the same time, as he never held a mortal position as emperor or empress, so he didn’t really understand the position well.
“Well, at least you have a good mindset. And you Mu Liang, are you prepared to be the husband of a man who spends more time away than at home?” Nehand might like Mu Liang better, but that doesn’t mean she would be any less sharp with him.
“Oh, I’ll go with him,” Mu Liang said without thinking too much, which made Nehand blink a little.
“Apparently, my foolish son hasn’t explained to you that even if Emery takes on the role of empress it’s very likely that you’ll take part of the responsibility just to calm the nobles… I don’t know if it will be for Ade’s entire term, but at least for the first few years you will stay here with Emery”
“That…” Mu Liang looked suitably surprised. He thought that Ade by having an empress could be free, but he was mistaken.
“If you want to give up the engagement… Well, if you both want to give up the engagement there is still time” Nehand said suddenly standing up, Phomello and Kashka stood together.
Bae Dong who heard everything next door also got up, but Mu Liang still looked surprised and sat with a stunned look, being helped by Emery to get up to say goodbye to Nehand.
“Mu Liang, you must talk to my foolish son, he may be a little stubborn, but he is not cruel enough to arrest you against his will”
Nehand said looking at Prince Mu’s somewhat pale face, she felt pity in her heart, but she had to be tough and realistic, Mu Liang had to know what she was getting herself into by marrying Gyasi.
Nehand left with his two followers being accompanied by Bae Dong leaving Emery and Mu Liang alone.
“Are you planning on leaving Gyasi?” Emery asked after this long silent time.
“No, I just need some time to calm down. It’s not like with my weak body I could accompany Gyasi anywhere” Mu Liang said with a sad sigh.
Even if he wanted to accompany Gyasi, he would not only be a nuisance and would hinder exploration missions as his body would need special care.
“Well as things stand now it’s very unlikely that your fiancé will go out to explore anything for at least the next three or so years,” Emery said touching Prince Mu’s shoulder.
The fact that the Diablo Empire had to build new Mecha and Mecha armor was already known to both of them, they can take a year minimum and ten years maximum to study the creation of new Mechas.
“Yes, but I don’t know if in a year I will be able to strengthen my body to be able to keep up with Gyasi. Let’s say I get this miracle and my body gets healthy, I would still have to stay the first few years of your term as empress… In the meantime I might even get pregnant, so will I be able to abandon my son to go with Gyasi on the explorations?”
Mu Liang was pondering Nehand’s words a lot, it wasn’t easy to become part of the imperial family, he well knew that if it were in other empires the situation would be similar.
“And you Emery, are you ready for that too?” Mu Liang asked seeing Emery looking as thoughtful as he was.
“Well, if it’s Ade’s baby I think I’m ready… What worries me is whether Ade will live long enough for all of this to happen”
Then Emery brought up the topic again about the assassin sent to harvest Ade’s s.e.m.e.n and then kill him.
“Emery, I’m going to ask my people for help, even if I have a poison that can force people to tell the truth, it’s better to have specialized people to ask questions… You should know that these types of assassins can tell half-truths or speak very complexly, which is still true, but it can confuse us in the process”
“There can’t be many people involved in this, you and I can be forgiven if the empire finds out what we’re doing, but your employees could be fired or arrested.”
“Okay, I’ll only call the people I trust the most.” Mu Liang agreed, so he asked the system to call Chen Qian, Wu Jian, Bae Dong, Cedric Dermot, and Mylan Dangan.
He really wanted to call Chong Ji, but he gave her two days off. She looked like she’d gone out on a date with housekeeper Ayan Kainda.
