152 Chapter 152: The Angel’s Warning

Emy was sitting on the bed with her back leaning against the headboard. Next to her was Reed, who was stroking her belly. Avery and Jasmin were in the guest room, and Devin went home.

“Will it be long before the baby comes out?” Reed asked.

“It won’t be long. Just wait. Don’t be bored because you’ll get tired of taking care of it.” Emy said, giggling.

“Getting bored? Why?” Reed asked.

“It’s not easy to take care of a baby. I know that because I took care of my siblings. Besides being tiring, you also won’t be able to sleep well. You’re excited now, but you’ll be tired.”

Reed smirked. “It’s not hard to take care of demons.”

“Huh? What’s different about taking care of a baby?”

“Demons, we allow everything the babies want to do. There’s no need to watch over the baby.”

Emy was suddenly nervous. She felt that she and Reed would disagree on caring for the baby. They have a different beliefs.

.....

“Baby Alex, do you want to go outside so you can play with your daddy?” Reed asked.

Emy’s belly moved. “Ah...” Emy hurriedly stood up.

“Where are you going?” Reed asked in surprise.

“I have to pee. Baby is playful.”

Reed helped Emy walk until they reached the bathroom. Emy immediately entered. Reed was about to enter when Emy pushed him.

“Don’t go with me. I can’t pee when I’m with someone.”

Reed laughed. “Okay, I’ll just wait for you outside.”

When he closed the door, he walked closer to the glass door of the terrace. Reed closed it and pulled back the curtain.

“Are you also excited to see my future child?”

Reed turned to the woman sitting on the edge of the bed. The girl looks like a teenager and is still wearing a school uniform.

“That’s right, I’m excited. We angels are excited to see all the babies born in the world. God created them, and that’s why they are important. Everyone should be happy when they are born.”

“I’m happy and excited to see my son,” Reed said. He turned to the woman walking towards the bathroom where Emy was.

“You should thank me because I made your wife’s life easier. But her life is still in danger with the child in her womb.”

“Still in danger?” Reed asked.

“I’m telling you. Emy is human, you can’t make her like you, but you can be like her, be a human.”

“Why can’t she be like me?” Reed asked.

“She’s human.”

“I can’t give up being the king of the realm. The realm needs me, and I’m sure the demons lurking in my position will cause trouble when I leave.”

The angel walked towards Reed and then stopped in front of him.

“Remember, the baby that Emy is carrying is the child that will save you. Your salvation is in the child’s birth, but you will be punished if you don’t give up being the realm’s king.”

“What?” Reed asked in shock.

“The baby will live if you step down as the king of the realm, but the baby will die if you don’t step down as the king of the realm.”

“What are you saying? Why do you have to take the baby?”

“Or you might want to lose Emy, as well?”

Reed’s fist clenched. “Don’t dare lay fingers on her...”

“Are you threatening me, demon?”

“Yes. You will not take anything from me, my wife and child.” Reed said sternly.

The angel smiled and said nothing. “Who are you talking to, Reed?”

Reed glanced at Emy, who had already come out of the bathroom. He quickly approached Emy and helped her out of the bathroom.

“I’m sorry it took me so long,” Emy said.

“It’s fine. Are you feeling okay?” Reed asked. As they walked closer to the bed, Reed’s eyes searched for the angel, but it was gone.

Reed sat Emy on the bed and then helped her lie down properly. Although Emy’s stomach is not big, she has difficulty moving. The doctor said they could do a 3D ultrasound to see the baby more high-tech, but Reed didn’t want to do that, and neither did Emy. It’s not because they don’t want to see the baby but because Emy is afraid that others will see its appearance.

Reed sat next to Emy as she lay down. “Who were you talking to earlier?”

“Ah, that’s just Devin asking something.”

“Huh? Why a female voice?”

“Huh? Female voice? Maybe you just heard it wrong.” Emy didn’t answer. “You better go to sleep. I’ll be right here next to you.” Reed said.

“Can you brush my hair with your hand so I can fall asleep quickly?”

“Of course.”

While Reed was reading a book, he was carefully stroking Emy’s hair with his hand. He didn’t know if he had ever done that. He stopped noticing that Emy was fast asleep. Reed put the book down on the bed and adjusted Emy’s position. He also fixed Emy’s blanket and kissed the girl on the forehead. Reed took a deep breath. He was restless at what the angel said. The whole thought was that everything was okay. His wings are coming back, and his scars are gradually being erased, which means that he will be freed from the agreement between him and the angel, and his full power will be restored, but suddenly their agreement has changed. He couldn’t tell if that angel was playing with him.

‘It’s annoying. What does it want? Why is he doing this?’

When he was sure Emy would not wake up, he left the bed and walked out of the room. He stood outside the terrace, and a cold wind greeted him. He looked at the houses with flickering lights. Almost every home has such a light.

‘What is that light for? Is it necessary to have such a light in the houses?’

Reed took a deep breath and stayed outside the room to think.

——

The next day, Reed wakes up to loud music in the house. He felt at his side, but Emy was no longer there. Reed also turned around the room and saw that the curtain was drawn and the sun was high. He didn’t realize that he had fallen asleep. Reed immediately stood up and went straight to the bathroom.

Emy, Avery, and Jasmin are busy in the living room. They decorated an eight-foot Christmas tree. Jasmin was on the stairs while Avery reached for the decorations. On the other hand, Emy was busy putting up the decorations downstairs. Avery played a Christmas song to make them enjoy what they were doing. It could be heard throughout the house while they were busy doing what they were doing, and Becky was cooking.

When Reed left the room, the music inside the house got even louder. He walked closer to the stairs and saw that the three girls were happy as they danced to the music. Reed also noticed the girls’ busyness, frowned, and immediately approached them. He put both hands in his pocket and stood next to Emy.

“What keeps you busy?” Reed asked.

“We are decorating the Christmas tree,” Emy said. She took the star and handed it to Reed. “Now for the final touch..”

Reed frowned but reached for the star that Emy was giving.

“Put it on top of the Christmas tree, Sir Reed,” Jasmin said.

He glanced at the girls, then forced himself to climb the stairs and place them on the Christmas tree. He was surprised when he put up a star, and that tree lighted up. Just like their neighbors, that tree also had lights shining and was full of decorations. Reed went down the stairs and caught a glimpse of Jasmin leaving the power outlet.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” Emy asked Reed.

“Ah, y-yeah..” Reed said. “What is that thing for, and are you busy decorating and fixing it?”

“Christmas is coming,” Amy said.

Reed frowned. “Christmas? What is that?”

The three women looked at each other. “Christmas, people celebrate that.”

“What is there and needs to be celebrated?”

“That is the birth of Jesus Christ,” Amy said. “And we decorate like this every time ber months come around.”

“Why do you have to do that?”

“Jesus Christ is the one who saved all the sins of people. And his birth is the hope of all people. That’s why we are happy to celebrate it.”

“How did you know about that?”

“In the bible.”

“Well, it’s just weird. Do you have to celebrate someone else’s birthday?”

“You know you won’t understand even if I explain it. It’s better. Just leave us alone.”

“What else can I do? Where you’re happy, I’ll support you.”

Emy smiled. Becky later approached them.

“Lunch is ready, my king,” said Becky.

“Lunch?”

The four girls laughed. “It’s lunchtime, Sir Reed. It looks like you didn’t sleep last night.” Avery said.

Reed didn’t answer. When he agrees with Avery, Emy will worry.

“Let’s go....” Emy said, then she grabbed Reed’s arm.

.....

Reed smiled.

——-

“Really? Reed said that?”

Devin hangs out at the cubus cousins’ house. He told them what happened in the realm of teasing him and asking questions. He was forced to say that the two also knew what was happening. They are eating lunch and face each other at the table.

“He’s going to get in trouble for what he did. He shouldn’t have killed those demons. Even if it’s said that they’re a low-level class, their strength is different when they’re together.” Dynhir said.

“I want to remind Reed of that, but he seems decided, so I let it go.”

“For me, he did the right thing,” Eve said. “The elite rules the realm. We are not humans who have democracy and can say what we want. We have already proven that the elites can rule the realm, and they all succeeded...”

“Now it looks like a failure...” Dynhir said.

“It’s not a failure, but our realm is stronger because of Reed. Reed uses an iron fist and doesn’t just dictate to those around him. He listens to opinions, but in the end, the decision is still his. For me, Reed’s rule is good compared to previous kings.”𝘧𝘳𝑒ℯ𝔀𝘦𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝗹. co𝐦

Dynhir glanced at his cousin. “You admire him too much. Have you forgotten what he did to us? We are hungry because of what he did.”

“He did the right thing. He just agreed with Devin. You should be okay with his actions because he didn’t kill you.” Eve said. “He won’t be mad at you and won’t make you two have ties if you didn’t interfere with the queen. It’s your fault you’re hungry. I’m just accompanying you even though I can eat. I don’t want you to be jealous.”

Dynhir glared at Eve. No matter which angle you look at, Dynhir is wrong. That’s why he is struggling now. Reed is innocent.
