The room fell silent because of Leon's explanation. The elders were stumped, not knowing what to say.
"Your Highness, Little Han's godparents…" Grandpa Reuben's inquiry trailed off.
They looked at Leon and then at the small bag, then looked at him again. Leon maintained an unperturbed expression as he already didn't want to unravel any details about the supreme mana stones.
The mana stones he presented was a portion of the stones given by the guardians to the three of them.
Initially, Eli wanted Leon to take all the mana stone bags for him to spend, because she felt guilty upon hearing that Leon almost went broke from travelling to and fro just to visit them.
However, he insisted on only taking a portion and keeping the others for Eli and Little Han's future use. After a long discussion, Eli finally relented to keep the remaining portion, while Leon only took this small bag.
"They prefer not to reveal their identities for now. But all I can assure you is that they have Little Han's well being in mind." Leon gave a perfunctory reply.
"Well it is what it is. What's more important is that our problem is solved!" Grandpa Andi tried to change the awkward mood.
The other three nodded, although deep inside they still felt at a loss. They have merely solved the problem on how to transport Eli's cottage, but they didn't solve the problem of Eli and Little Han's arrangement in the capital.
"We'll if it really bothers you, then we might as well talk with Eli about this arrangement tomorrow. It doesn't hurt to hear her opinions right?" Seeing the hesitant expression of the other three, Grandpa Andi nonchalantly suggested.
"Well.." The three finally agreed and finally reacted. Soon, the discussions were about how Leon and the Grandpas will set the array for the next two days.
Morning came and Eli was awoken by the busy noises in the cottage. With a gentle frown, she slowly fluttered her eyelids open and saw the warmly lit room.
It was still peaceful yet the busy noises made the atmosphere lively. She was hearing noises of wood being chopped, rustles of the broom from sweeping the wooden floor, some digging sounds and occasional commands being thrown here and there.
"What's happening.." Curious by the lively atmosphere, she instinctively used her strength to sit up unconsciously.
She was baffled because her hands and upper body had already managed to let her be in the sitting position herself. Eli's midnight eyes lit up!
"Azayn's medicine is truly amazing!" She happily exclaimed. She tried to move her lower body to see if she could already get out of bed. But a wave of pain invaded her lower body.
"Ouch.." She let out a whimper of pain. It seems like she could only wait until the third day to really be free from the bed rest.
Knock knock! A lively Azayn appeared in a timely manner, a tinge of excitement appeared on her face.
"Eli! I'm telling you! If you do not marry the Prince in this life, you will definitely regret it!" She rushed towards Eli, dismissing the fact that Eli had already managed to sit up.
Sparkles appeared in her green eyes and she grinned as if she was feeling proud of someone. "I'm telling you! You won't lose out if you marry that ice cube prince! He's rather not bad!"
Eli was stunned on Azayn's almost fanatical attitude, raising her brows with interest, she immediately threw out a question to her dear friend.
"Just what did Leon do that made you act like that?"
Azayn was not stunned at Eli's skepticism, instead her green eyes squinted with a teasing look and said,
"You will know soon. Fufufu! I'll tell you, his ways right now could be compared to the manliness of my sweet husband Koethlar! That's why I am encouraging you.. No pushing you! Do not let this big fish go!"
Shocked by the declaration of her friend, Eli couldn't help but feel shy about how unashamed Azayn was in her words. But from what Azayn was saying, Leon must be preparing for something.
Suddenly, Eli found herself anticipating what Leon would do for her. Upon realizing this, her mind shook. 'Did I just assume that he will do something romantic for me?'
'Not good! If it turns out he was not really doing something for me but for Little Han, I would be disappointed. Protect my heart! Protect my heart!'
"Huhhhh…" Eli let out a deep long breath. As if restarting herself, she looked at Azayn with a pout and sulkily said, "Anyways, didn't you notice that I could already sit?"
Azayn noticed Eli's attempt to change the conversation, however, she didn't pursue the matters anymore. She also lifted her head up with a proud expression and commented, "What is there to be surprised with?"
"With me around, you will be strutting your healthy body in no time!"
Eli let out a helpless smile, this dear friend of hers really took pride in her profession sincerely. "Oh, by the way how is brother Kayden doing anyway?"
"Aiyoooo Eli! Let me tell you!" Upon hearing Kayden's name, Azayn let out a frustrated expression while slapping her thighs in a comical manner, the graceful and womanly Azayn was nowhere to be found.
"Ever since your successful birth, Kayden shut himself inside MY medical laboratory and dived himself with research! Eli, that's MY precious laboratory!!! MY Laboratory!!!" Azayn suddenly ranted feeling aggrieved.
"And then he used all my thingies liberally!!! My precious thingies!!! Now I don't know if my research equipment would still be fine in his hands!!! Boohooo!" She let out her frustration tearfully. Eli stretched her hands out to pat Azayn's shoulders.
"What would he be doing? What is the subject of his research?" Eli asked while still comforting her frustrated friend.
"I think he was traumatized by what happened to you during your labor… It is most likely that he pursued the study for the procedure you referred to the both of us." Azayn said in contemplation.
"But don't worry, after nursing you back to health, I will assist him on his research!" She added with an assuring look.
Eli felt that it was most likely possible, she nodded and informed Azayn that there was a specific book about anatomy and biology on her bookshelf. She offered it to Azayn for her to study and prepare for their research.
Afterwards, the two proceeded to check her and Little Han's condition. After letting Little Han have his milk, she proceeded to clean herself with Azayn's assistance.
Taking care of Little Han and her recovery made Eli's mind preoccupied. Soon, she forgot about her curiosity about the activities outside.
It took them almost half a day to do those things, it was almost lunch when they finished.
Baobao then entered the room and adorably served their lunch to eat, not forgetting to let Eli drink the two magical medicines.
The rest of the day was spent on Eli taking care of Little Han with Azayn on the side, and while hearing the noise in the area.
Thankfully, Little Han was not affected by the sound as Eli observed that the cradle was covered by a faint barrier. Every time she touches it, she feels a warm and gentle sensation. She deduced that Leon probably made this because of the noises outside.
Evening came and everyone had settled down, even the Emperor came back to his daily inspection. Eli was suddenly surprised as the four elders, including Azayn and Leon, orderly visited her room.
The four elders didn't forget to adore Little Han.
It was amusing to see that these esteemed people would fight with each other while carrying Little Han.
It was as if they were robbed when the other person demanded that it was their turn to carry him in their arms.
After settling down, the elders then proceeded to the main topic.
"Eli, Leon had already told us that you wish to follow to the capital the day after tomorrow." It was the Emperor who started the serious conversation.
Eli nodded with resolution.
"Hmmm, well it's for the better!" Queen Tehila was elated to see the affirmation from Eli personally.
"So does that mean that you know now who to choose among the two of us?" Grandpa Andi and Grandpa Reuben tried to sound Eli out.
Eli was stumped with the question, in reality she didn't want to choose between the two of them. Because they are both dear to her. Choosing one over the other would be an insult to their feelings.
Shaking her head with an honest expression, she replied in a solemn manner, "I dare not to choose. Both of you are important to me…"
"I knew it!" Grandpa Andi shook his head, but a doting look appeared in his adorable grandpa face.
"Well, Eli is Eli after all! I know she both loves us!" Grandpa Reuben was also equally helpless.
In reality, the two were touched and relieved with her attitude. Ever since they offered their conditions, they realize the effect of Eli choosing between the two of them in their hearts.
How would Eli decide when she would choose between the two of them? By the benefits she would get in the future? The status? Or the power we can offer?
Maybe she will choose who knows her longer. Maybe she will choose who has done things for her more…
They concluded that not only it will affect their opinion about Eli, it would also cause a subtle rift between the three of them.
Although for some, choosing between them doesn't really matter. But they are still people with feelings. They couldn't help but worry because of that. That was why they decided...
"Then you do not have to choose!" The two grandpas happily announced.
"We decided that we will both declare you as our god daughter!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The room fell silent because of Leon's explanation. The elders were stumped, not knowing what to say.
