Awakening divorce, the little female is scrambled by all the big guys

Chapter 109 Deciding to Keep the Child
When Maya heard Zeref say this, her expression changed.

"How could this happen? Then the news of Ophelia's pregnancy cannot be hidden from the head of the family."

"Hmm." That was what Zeref was worried about.

The holy tribe does not allow anyone to marry outsiders. Once discovered, the life of a female child will be in danger.

"So what now? Are you going to tell Ophelia?"

Zeref was silent, he hadn't made up his mind yet.

His partnership with Ophelia was not based on love.

Now if Ophelia knew that being pregnant with his child would be dangerous, he was afraid that she would abort the child without hesitation.

But he didn't want to hide it. It was because he had concealed Caesar's affairs that he almost lost the opportunity to be with Ophelia.

If Ophelia found out again that he was hiding something from her, she would probably end their partnership.

"Master, this is not a small matter."

"I suggest you explain it to Ophelia as soon as possible so that she can be mentally prepared." Maya thought of this and advised.

Zeref raised his hand and pinched his brow. "I understand."

But even though he knew it, he still had selfish motives.

If you think about it later, or speak up later, maybe you can think of a solution.

Because Zeref is worried about this matter, his mood has changed significantly recently.

Not only Taylor, but Ophelia also noticed it.

After dinner that day, Taylor went to wash the dishes, and there were only two of them left in the room.

Ophelia asked, "Zeref, what's wrong with you recently? Is your injury still not healed?"

"My injury is not serious anymore, you don't have to worry."

"Then why do you look so down?"

Zeref knew that pregnant females would be particularly sensitive, so he spoke softly, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

Ophelia's face grew serious when she saw that Zeref still refused to be honest.

"Zeref, I don't want you to hide anything from me anymore, otherwise..."

Seeing that Ophelia was really angry, Zeref had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"What is the origin of the Dragon Stone? Why can it sense the birth of a dragon cub?"

Zeref shook his head, "I don't know either, but the Dragonstone has been there since the Holy City was founded."

"There has never been any mistake over the years."

Taylor came back from washing the dishes and heard the conversation between the two.

"Does the dragonstone change after the cub is born, or does it only change when it hatches?"

Zeref recalled carefully in his mind that once a new cub of the Holy City Pterosaur Clan hatched, the dragon stone would emit a bright light in the sky that was impossible to ignore.

This light will directly expose the location of the cubs, but it cannot last too long.

"It's just a change that occurs when the shell breaks. It's only a short period of time, but it's enough time for people from the Holy City to find this place."

These days, Zeref tried countless times to hide the secrets of Dragon Stone from the Holy City, but each time he overturned them.

"So what if I'm discovered? I'm giving birth to my own child. What does it have to do with the people of Guan Shengdu?"

Zeref smiled bitterly, "The Holy City does not allow the descendants of noble families to marry orcs from other tribes. Even the cubs born would be tainted by the Holy City's bloodline."

"People from the Holy City who marry outside their race will be considered traitors, and their partners will be hunted down and killed by the people of the Holy City. Even their offspring will be disposed of."

After telling the whole story, the guilt that Zeref had been carrying for the past few days finally disappeared.

He leaned against the wall with a bitter smile on his lips, waiting for Ophelia's verdict.

"You clearly know that you can't marry outside your race, so why did you insist on provoking the princess and forcing her?"

"You've been hiding these things, and you're only telling me now." Taylor was furious and punched Zeref in the face. Feeling guilty, Zeref didn't dodge Taylor's punch and took it head on.

"I know, I know everything, but I can't control my heart." Zerev had a painful expression on his face, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

After Ophelia digested the shocking news, she slowly calmed down.

"Then why? Dragonstone can sense the birth of cubs? What's the principle behind this?"

This is too outrageous.

Taylor gradually cooled down and pondered.

Zeref leaned against the wall and slowly sat down, ignoring the dust on the ground.

"It's probably because the aura of a newly born dragon cub is the strongest the moment it breaks out of its shell, that's why it was captured by the dragon stone."

"After that, the dragon cubs would spend too much time with the males, and their bodies would be stained with the male's scent, so the dragon stone would gradually lose its ability to sense it."

This was the only reasonable explanation Zeref had come up with in recent days.

Ophelia stroked her chin, thinking.

This dragon stone should be similar to the novice protection period.

If it's because of the breath, maybe there's a way to solve it.

"Isn't there still two months before the dragon cub is born? Don't rush, let's slowly figure it out."

Zeref dejectedly said, "I've tried every possible way to conceal the Dragonstone. None of it worked."

"The only solution now is to abort the child."

Ophelia's face suddenly changed, and she clutched her belly and sternly said, "No one, not even the people of the Holy City, can harm my child."

Zeref was a little surprised by Ophelia's answer. "He could put your life in danger, and you're still willing to keep him?"

Zeref was a little confused. In his understanding, Ophelia would abort the child if she found out that the child might endanger his life.

It's like he'd be angry when he found out he'd been hiding the truth about the candy thief.

"He's just a child. What's wrong with him? The problem is the rules of your Holy City."

"Rules are meant to be broken."

If the most serious moment really comes, she will hide in the space with her children.

If there is really no other way, she can live in the space with her child.

Zeref looked at Taylor, "Do you agree with her keeping the baby?"

"He is the princess's child. As long as the princess is willing, I will protect him with my life."

Taylor knew very well that this child would pose a threat to Ophelia's life.

But he also understood Ophelia's thoughts. Because of Amy's betrayal, the princess thought she was a failed mother, which has always been a knot in the princess's heart.

So he wanted to use this child to tell the princess that she was a good mother and that she was not wrong.

"You, you are crazy, she will die." Zeref's eyes turned red.

When he told this secret, Zeref had already determined that the child would be aborted.

But now that Ophelia and Taylor both agreed to keep the child, he didn't know how to respond.

He likes Ophelia, so between the child and Ophelia, he will choose Ophelia.

Taylor's attitude makes him seem unfit to be a father.

"Well, Zeref, don't be so pessimistic."

"Perhaps, being so far away from the Holy City, the Dragon Stone can't sense the birth of the cubs at all." Ophelia saw Zeref's painful look and her heart softened as she advised.

Seeing Ophelia's resolute attitude, Zeref wiped his face and sorted himself out.

"Okay, since you've decided to keep the children, I'll find a way to carve out a path for them."
