"Jennet!" Rosella shouted at her daughter, finally losing her cool. "You are getting so full of yourself! You should watch over your manners! Honestly, you're still a disappointment!"Jennet, unwavered by mama's outburst, glared. Well, she was used to receiving unkind treatment from mama and even if she behaves like a delinquent now, it means nothing."Then, mama, you can leave too since you find me a disappointment. No matter what you say, my decision is final and she has to leave. I am doing this to defend my family from a forked tongue snake, a stupid siren and a cowardly sheep!""Shut up!" Rosella was enraged and raised her hand."Rosella!"Grandpa Ingell's voice thundered in the space, startling everyone present.Rosella immediately lowered her hand. "F-father..." she stammered.Grandpa Ingell and his grandsons had only returned from Hanvel's residence and they had witnessed the squabbles. The unsightly squabbles...Grandpa Ingell gazed towards Helena and Katerina before she glar
Delton tossed the skin in the air. Then, sunlight shone through it, turning it into black crisps. The remains of skin floated around him with tiny sparkles dancing in between it.Delton swept the remnants of the skin in his hand. Due to his amazing speed, the grass swayed hard to the side."There's no mistaking it, this is Alana's skin. The former Keeper to the Gate of Hell," he said after that. He had confirmed the identity of the skin's owner. Then, he kept the remaining skin inside a pouch which he hid under the sleeve of his robe. After that, he glanced at Little Veen. "Is there any other information that you know about her?" he asked."She feeds on the blood of her hosts. Also, she had been involved with a lot of death in the human realm.""Including Dave Baroques..." Delton mentioned the name with utmost interest. He knew about the history of Dave's death but, he had no idea his death wasn't ordinary since his d
“Mfftt!” Hue struggled to speak. Little Veen snapped his fingers and the barrier on his mouth disappeared. “Probably because you’re already my wife from a very long time ago. The barrier around you exists to protect you when I am not around,” he said as a proud smile bloomed on his handsome face.Little Veen snapped his fingers again and Hue was forced to keep silent instantly. He took a deep breath and said to Jennet, “He is not making any sense at the moment. Ignore him. By the way, I hope you can keep calm and act oblivious about everything that we talked about.”“Alright, but should I be worried?” Jennet asked curiously.“No need to. You only need to worry about your pregnancy because they are much more important than the problem we have at hand. Also, we will always be looking after you, and protecting you.” Little Veen smiled.Jennet melted when she saw his innocent and genuine smile that she had never properly seen before. She imm
Jennet shook her head, "No, I don't want any take-outs. I want to eat your home-cooked meals and I want it now. I am too hungry and I feel I could eat an entire gazelle." She held her stomach when she said that. She was already hungry when they landed in the country.Hue, with a long face, walked out of the room and entered the kitchen. He opened the fridge but, it was empty."Honey, we're out of food!" he shouted."Then, go to the supermarket and buy some. Get the wallet from me!" his wife shouted back from the room upstairs.Hue made another tour upstairs and took the wallet from her. Before he left the room, he asked, "Are you going to be fine alone or do you want to come along?" His face brightened when he mentioned 'come along'.Jennet shook her head as a low grunt escaped her mouth. "Nope, I'm too tired and too hungry. Don't worry about me. I'll sleep while waiting for you. But, come back as fast as you can." Then, she dove into the
"Oh gosh, something's moving inside!" she clamoured in terror when she felt and saw little movements appearing on the surface of her skin. She had no idea if those were the twins' heads, hands or feet.As she focused on the little movements, she, somehow, felt happy while being scared. The feeling she had was indescribable.She laughed alone. Then, she turned her face towards her husband. "Honey," she said, "t-this is terrifying and, and I...I'm about to pass out..." she slurred in her words before her eyes rolled up and her face was drained out of colours.Hue shrieked in terror as he leapt forward and caught her heavy body from collapsing to the cold floor....A few hours later, Jennet woke up on the bed, fully dressed. Her body smelt nice too. While she passed out, her husband helped to wipe her body.She gazed down but her sight was blocked by the mountain of her belly that had gotten even bigger than earlier.
Kith beamed after she said that. Oh, she did want to visit Fantasy Realm, he thought and that was good news.Hue had lost his cool when he heard what his wife had said. His face turned dark and his unhappy feeling had reached beyond the maximum level.On the other hand, Jennet wished very hard for Little Veen to appear before her as she couldn't handle the stress that stem from the trouble that was broiled before her.Her wish came true when clouds of mist appeared and formed a figure. The figure transformed into a boy with an expressionless face. It was the first time Jennet saw the transformation in live, and she was awestruck."Little Veen!" Her mood brightened. She let go of everything in her hands, including Kith. The silver head slipped from the chair and he went 'ow, ow' all the way down until his body kissed the floor. Little Vella teared up again and she ran to him and helped get him back on the chair.Jennet,
Horan sat before two other gods which were God of Marriage and God of Birth. The three of them were having a meeting in a floating garden in the sky.The sight of them grouping was a heavenly view as they were all handsome. No words could describe their good look. Even their shadows were dazzling to gaze at. Horan pushed the golden nameplate to the centre of the table. Then, he leaned back in his seat as his eyes shifted between the two men before him."So, what is your opinion on this?" he began. "Should we approve or decline the entry as I cannot make the decision alone because it was the both of you who blessed them."Keith, God of Birth and Erion, God of Marriage looked at the golden plate on the table. Seconds later, they exchanged glances with each other."We are, only, following the Emperor's command," Keith replied. He inhaled deeply as he began again, "...and we are certain that he would grant them permission to enter this world
Kith broke into a wide smile, showing his perfectly lined teeth. "Honey, I'm only making sure that it's you who have that desire. Don't worry, we will protect all three of you and I am sure your husband would say the same, too.""Well, whatever. I'm not in the mood to talk with you." Jennet closed her eyes and rested her head on the sofa head.Kith went mum when the woman coldly cut him off. The woman was being so rude...and he knew it wasn't her intention to act like that.The silver-haired man was petrified when he saw Hue walk in with a basket of laundry perched on his hip."Are you in your housekeeping mode right now?" he asked in disbelief. He came to discuss something with Hue but, that man was already in his flowery headband, carrying a laundry basket.Hue exhaled heavily. "This is my daily routine, and you don't have to worry about me. You should worry about my wife and kids' health." He gestured towards his resting wife.
"I am Jennet Lockhart!" claimed the silver-haired woman. Delton furrowed his brows. He had no idea a foreign woman had the gall to make such a claim. He had just returned from the palace and heard of something bizarre from the emperor who was reluctant to divulge the truth. His mood deteriorated after the meeting."Can you prove your claim?" he asked coldly."My ring!" she said loudly. "Hue gave me a ring as proof!"Delton glanced at her finger. There was no ring."I'm sorry, but I don't think you can play around with such a claim," he said. "Lying will add more bad deeds into your account.""I'm not lying," she slapped the bed. "I am Jennet Lockhart. Get my husband here to verify this claim!"Delton exhaled. "I'm sorry but it's improper to call upon him to verify your claim. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"How could she claim she was Jennet Lockhart when her appearance differed greatly from hers? This woman must be desperate to get away from her punishment.The woman we
'Apologies for not helping much...' added the spirit.Delton sighed. "Never mind."He turned around and gestured at the reapers to leave the place....After visiting the nursery, Jennet asked to go out for a date.Hue smiled. "I love that idea. Where do you want to go? The gardens?"He was about to get bored and she proposed such an amazing idea to kill time. He was grateful that they clicked.Jennet smiled. "Is that a great place for a meaningful date? We have not gone on a proper date before. I want it to be a proper full-day date!"Hue responded after pondering, "I guess going to the garden is great. Unless you have a place in mind.""I do have one in mind," she said. She gave him a side glance and then smiled widely, "Can we go to the market again? Just the two of us."Hue's face dropped. "The market? Again?" Disappointment was clear in his voice.Jennet leaned closer. "Please, honey. This one time, please..."Hue scratched the back of his ear, contemplating. "Uh, can we go to a
Many hours ago...After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter."That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.'West gate...'She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.Thud, thud, thud, thud...Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.Jennet furrowed. 'I remember switching on all
Hue and Jennet were downstairs when they heard loud bangs coming from upstairs.“What is that?” Jennet glanced in alarmed, half-jumping from her seat. Hue rose from his chair and assured her to sit comfortably. “I’ll go and check,” he said.“Be careful, honey.” Jennet sat down, hoping nothing bad would happen.Hue went upstairs and realised the loud bangs had come from their bedroom. He grabbed a hanger from the laundry basket near the stairs. In his grasp, the hanger morphed into a sabre.“Gomi?” he called.‘Yes, master?’ replied a voice in his head.‘Do you sense something off?’‘Apart from the spirit is ill, nothing else.’Then, Gomi’s presence vanished from his mind. Hue didn’t think much of it because he was sure Gomi and the rest of their familiars were unhappy after the twins placed them under restrained orders. In Fantasy Realm, restraining orders were considered a major distrust of the master towards the familiars. But, if the familiars were innocent, they could refuse to s
Hue woke up when something buttery and toasty hit his nose. He unfurled his eyes and saw the Smell Folk dancing in mid-air. Their dance was very graceful and beautiful, unlike usual. It seemed as if they were celebrating something that was long forgotten.He sat on the sofa and tied his long hair into a low ponytail. Yawning, he placed the bolster on the sofa bed and approached the kitchen.Standing at the entrance, he eyed his wife, whose back faced him. She was donned in the pink apron he uses when working in the kitchen. She was placing sunny-side-up eggs on a plate."Honey, I thought I would be making breakfast today," he said.Jennet turned around and smiled brightly. "I was up too early today. So, I thought of making breakfast for us since you always made it.""Why didn't you just wake me up?" he asked."You were sound asleep, and I don't want to rouse you from your peaceful sleep."Hue scratched his head and covered his mouth to yawn. "Is this your roundabout way of asking forgi
The turtle inhaled deeply. He broke into a smile. "Yes, of course, because some of the stuff I sell needs the good deed.""Oh..." Jennet nodded her head. She was confused but she had nothing to ask because she had no idea what to ask. The more she delves into the sensitive case, the more she gets confused about everything around them.After the conversation, Jennet and the twins took their time to see all of the stuff on display. The vast majority of the items were human's everyday stuff and were broken. For example, the quills without nibs, shoes without soles, cups without handles, bows without strings and the list just went on.Jennet came across a hilt, the only one among thousands of items on display. She felt a strange sense of Deja Vu as if she had seen it before."That one is notorious and dangerously powerful, but had a sad story..." The turtle gave an intro.Jennet glanced and asked, "What happened to it?" She was interested.The turtle inhaled deeply. "He was once a powerf
Jennet rolled her eyes at them. "Arro, that is not nice. Please don't blatantly harm others.""But, he disrespected you. I can't let that slide."Jennet knocked his head gently and said, "Young man, you can't do that. It was my fault he got mad. I nearly stepped on him due to my carelessness. It's understandable why he talked harshly with me.""But-""That is enough. Let us continue shopping." She stopped him before he could speak his mind. If she said nothing, he would take revenge on her behalf.Arro hesitantly responded, "...Alright."Then, the twins walked ahead of her as she followed them from behind. She heard them talking, enthusiastically, about the festival that was going at full throttle.Jennet smiled and enjoyed herself looking around the place. Suddenly, someone brushed past her and something pricked her arm."Oww!" She gasped in pain. She looked down and noticed blood bleeding through the fabric on her left arm. Grimacing, she pressed her palm onto the cut to stop the b
"Can we go to the market again?" Hue paused, reeled his hand and turned on his heels. His brows knitted at what he heard from his wife. They were in the room, making the bed. "Why? Have you forgotten that you fell ill after our first visit?" He tried to pound some sense into her head. He hoped she would cancel her plans. Jennet clasped her hands to her chest and begged, "Honey, I just want to go shopping!" Hue raised an eyebrow. "Shopping?" It was a wonder how loosely humans think about their safety. Humans love to break the rules and never learn their lesson until it is too late. Jennet nodded. "I want to bring some gifts for my family." Hue exhaled and then sighed. "Honey, I don't think that is a great idea." "Why?" "Well, in my opinion, it's best to buy the gifts in the human realm. Get something that is more of a human thing because everything here is not normal to humans." "Then, how are we going to explain about our kids to my family?" She dropped the bomb a
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
