I was currently working in my throne room, I had activated my thrones capability to transform into a workbench and was currently working on something.
Meanwhile Gehrman was behind me sitting at the round table drinking tea, his demeanor was extremely calm and serene, he looked like he was at peace.
At that moment, Kevin and Yuura arrived with the intention of seeking help, "Gehrman? I thought you'd go back to Andromeda's main headquarters already?" Yuura teased.
"Oh c'mon, I barely get time to hang out with you guys anymore. " Gehrman complained to Yuura who pecked him on the cheek while walking by.
"Master, we need your help with something." Yuura asked Simon.
" With recent developments, I'd encourage you come to me for as much help as possible." I said without turning my head, "What you need lovebirds?"
Kevin: "We want to reassure that this child will be born safe and healthy and with our different races and divinity, we have no idea how the child will be affected."
I thought for a second, "I guess that's a fair concern. To Nyx's lab."
————————————————
"You know I wish I could help you guys but to be honest, this is kinda out of my reach, evens I don't know where to head with this." Nyx apologized by her inability to help them.
Dino: "Truth be told, all we can do is wait for the baby to be born and all our questions will be answered."
Kevin and Yuura left the lab in disappointment while I just went back to my throne to work.
Nyx: "I think we should get answers from the real reason as to why this all happened."
Dino: "Huh… what do you mean the real reason?"
Nyx: "Just as dad said, the chances of two divine beings actually conceiving a child is less then one percent and they suddenly achieve this on their first try. If you take into account the chaos particles in both their bodies and the chances become much lower."
Dino: "So you're suggesting that someone intentionally made sure that Yuura was pregnant? I assume that you already have a culprit in mind."
Nyx: " I'm surprised that you haven't figured it out yet. Who has a reputation for tampering with the laws of reality as a hobby and can both access and move freely around Eden while remaining completely undetected wherever they go?"
Listening to her words, Dino had a look of tired realization as he slowly nodded to himself, " You do realize that accusing him could cause terrible political conflicts as he is a recognized demon lord and god."
Nyx: " Firstly, dad wouldn't fret over such a small accusation, that man is way too laid back to make this a big issue. Secondly, I'm not gonna accuse him, I'm gonna ask him, dad doesn't like, he sees it as an unnecessary skill."
————————————————
Both Dino and Nyx had approached Simon from behind with apprehension, " Dad, we need to have a talk."
" Go ahead." I said without looking up from my throne.
" Dad were you the one that caused Yuura to be pregnant?" Nyx asked in a straightforward manner.
" No, I just allowed the opportunity for her to get pregnant, that honour still goes to Kevin." I said the last part in a joking manner.
" Why did you do that?" Dino was surprised by how straightforward mine and Nyx's conversational methods are but he went along with it.
" I had collaborated with a third party to create a method that would allow divine beings to reproduce." I turned around and told Nyx politely.
" Firstly, who the hell is this third party and why didn't you come to me to help with this?" Nyx began throwing a tantrum at why I didn't ask her for help.
"Firstly, I cannot disclose the identity of this third party because I signed a non-disclosure agreement. As for why I didn't ask you well there are two reasons, the first is that the other party came to me for this collaboration and the second reason is because… I thought you would just complain about working with me."
"Oh c'mon, I would never complain about you during collaboration!" Nyx complained about never complaining.
"Nyx, you always complain about me, this rebelious phase is getting ridiculous." I complained to Nyx.
Nyx: "Aren't kids supposed to be rebelious?"
"Not for multiple decades. I'm sorry Nyx, I love you but I'm getting tired of your constant fighting." I said with a slightly fatigued expression.
" I'm… sorry dad." Nyx said timidly. Her voice cracking from slight sorrow.
Simon: " Don't be, I know why you did it."
Nyx: " You… do."
" Ever since you found out about Egoblight and ever since then you've never truly kept me close to you. I don't blame you but after so long of trying to make you open up to me again, I tired of that now. Don't get me wrong, I still love you but this is becoming more of a burden for both of us." I said in a monotone emotionless voice.
Nyx looked down at the ground, her face filled with shame and anguish. She couldn't bear to look me in the eyes. She simply walked forward and crookedly attempted to hug me.
I didn't resist and just let her hug me. I gave her forehead a kiss as she rested her head against my chest. I turned my head to Dino, "You have nothing to say?"
"It is in my nature to not defy my master. If anything, all I took from the conversation is the increase of concern I feel for you and the urge to repair the relationship between you and lady Nyx." Dino said languidly but firmly.
"Anyways, I know you're all there, come out or else I'm gonna throw you all into the sun!" I shouted to the end of the corridor at the entrance of the throne room.
The moment my shout came across, there was a lot of stumbling and the sound of people falling over eachother from the other side of the door.
Then the door slowly opened up and people slowly began flowing in like children who were just caught doing something that they weren't supposed to.
The people filing in were all the recently arrived guest and my lords who were giving them a tour.
Simon: "Did you hear all that?"
"Uh n-no we di-" As Rimuru tried to defend everyone here in a stammering voice, he suddenly felt death about to grip onto him, "Um, yes we did."
