Chapter 1199: Greenwood Kingdom's Action

"So that's what you're worried about." Raincart sipped his tea calmly even after listening to Anna's story.

"Yes. The demons are evolving and becoming smarter. And if they work together with the demonic humans, they will become more unpredictable." Anna nodded.

"You don't have to worry about that."

"What do you mean?" Anna frowned. All the people she had met previously expressed their concern. Only Raincart actually acted calmly as if nothing happened.

She couldn't help but think of the worst possibility, which meant Raincart had become a demonic human. However, the only time to do it was when Raincart visited their city during the grand opening, so she doubted her speculation was correct.

Raincart said, "The special elite team was dispatched two days ago. We're still unsure about it, but according to the report, there is a sight of civilization in the demon territory. They are looping around your territory to figure out the situation."

"Is it within our territory?" Anna asked. Their territory hadn't been developed completely. In fact, most of their territory was still occupied by the demons, so there was a chance that the Supreme Devil Organization used their own territory to do it.

"No. It's much further in. We are a.s.suming that they are using this area to develop everything, including their base. The elite team will be able to find out what that place is."

"I'm not trying to curse them, but the enemies are strong… above spirit grandmasters."

"I know. However, they're still weaker than me." Raincart waved his hand. It wasn't an empty talk.

His strength was equal to Duke Lorelei since he had found his transcendent path as well. However, he didn't know whether he should reach the next rank or not due to the power balance in the kingdom.

"Even if they don't return, we'll be able to confirm their existence. And the Greenwood Kingdom will definitely send people to attack. That's why you don't have to worry about it. If they're really there, they will be too occupied with us and have to stop the hara.s.sment against you.

"Instead, you should focus on fighting the enemies within the kingdom…" Raincart closed his eyes. "Instead of playing pa.s.sively, you should be aggressive at a time like this. Don't just sit around and do nothing. Bait them out and attack them head-on."

"…" Anna scratched the back of her head. That wasn't her decision to make. "I'll at least pa.s.s your message to Noel."

Raincart nodded. "Anyway, don't reveal your secret project for the time being. It seems that you are planning to go on a sea expedition… You should reveal it after that.

"By taking advantage of the successful sea expedition, the people will think of you highly. Of course, there are a lot of things you need to do, but I think Noel would be able to complete it before the big reveal."

"Yes, grandfather. We'll do our best." Anna nodded.

"Instead of worrying about the demonic human, there is something I'm worried about."

"And that is?" Anna's expression turned solemn. If the demonic human wasn't a problem for him, this one must be an even bigger problem. She was ready to inform Noel about it. Even Raincart put on a grim expression, showing the importance of this matter.

He asked, "So when will I get to see my great grandson?"

"…what?" Anna couldn't process the question since she had been expecting a huge problem.

"Don't 'what' me. I want to know when you are going to have a child! I have heard from Leysha that she can only give birth to a single child, so I'm anxious." Raincart raised his voice.

Anna was speechless. "That's…"

"You only have two options to answer me. Now or now."

Anna's eyebrows twitched as she was trying to convince Raincart, but the latter kept spitting one hard fact after another.

"Listen here. I know that my grandson is loyal to you and won't marry anyone else beside you, so if you are not there, the Ardagan family's bloodline will be cut.

"The same applies to him. There is a reason why a king needs a lot of concubines. It's to ensure the prosperity of the royal bloodline. What about you?

"Not only you two are planning to go on an expedition that has never succeeded before due to the danger, but you are also fighting against multiple enemies at once.

"If something happens to either of you, how am I going to hold my great grandson?

"You keep endangering themselves, making me see that you are planning to cut off the bloodline. How can I not rest easily?"

Anna took a deep breath and tried to address the issue. "We have discussed this."

"I don't need the discussion. Remember, actions speak louder than words!"

Anna scratched the back of her head. "Please calm down for a moment."

"I can't. You two might not think it that way, but when you are as old as me, you will be extremely anxious. If you already have a kid, your people can swear their allegiance to your kid and allow them to nurture him as the next head of the Ardagan family.

"If any of you are gone, the Ardagan family will be lacking a successor, so the family will be dissolved."

Anna sighed. Now that she thought about it, Noel had been pus.h.i.+ng her away whenever he talked with Raincart.

He must know that Raincart would be bombarding her with all these questions. She stated, "I apologize, but we have reached an agreement that we'll settle down only after we defeat the demon king!"

"What?! Are you insane?"

"No." Anna shook her head.

"I—" Raincart wanted to complain, but Anna raised her voice. "Grandfather!"

Raincart was startled as he stared at Anna's solemn face.

"I'm grateful for your advice, and I appreciate that you're worried about us. However, this is our family. You might think we are insane, but this is our resolve. We are not backing down because if we lose, we will lose everything, our lives, our future, and even our entire race. This is our resolve. Please respect it."

Raincart blinked his eyes a few times. Unlike Noel, Anna was more hardheaded since she wasn't as indebted as Noel to Raincart.

"…"
