Chapter 994: Chapter 348 Congratulations, Your Majesty

“…No way, boss? Are you serious?”

Alistair was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although she had felt depressed for a while, Isabel’s comfort had already allowed her to cry her heart out.

Actually, from that moment on, Alistair was no longer quite so fragile. When she knew someone cared about her, she didn’t need that person to truly care about her as much.

From this perspective, what Alistair actually cared more about was the present promised by Isabel before.

That moment of empathy and acceptance became the elixir that healed her spirit.

She no longer cares about whether that promise would be fulfilled… As long as Isabel has that intention, it’s already enough.

“Isabel is a person who keeps her word. Her will is probably stronger than the two of us combined, definitely not one to break her promises to indulge herself.”

But Aiwass responded, “Sister Freya said, ‘The strong are not good at bearing children.’ The higher the Energy Level of a Transcendent, the lower the probability of having children. If I reach the Fifth Power Level, it would be very difficult for Isabel and me to continue our lineage.”

“Although she may not care about the continuation of the Du Lac bloodline. After all, in another timeline, she also granted the right to succession to the Camelot family. But precisely because of our intervention, Isabel never went through that cruel act of personal sacrifice… did she? Raising another’s child can never compare to raising one’s own. Moreover, it also means that ‘Alistair Du Lac’ would never be born.”

“…But you can’t delay it. You spoke so clearly about major matters; how could you become muddled over something like this?”

Alistair’s feelings were complex: “You could delay at most by one more month. But you still can’t leave the Holy Nation, and Isabel can’t go to the Holy Nation either, except by means of a mask. Although I can use the ‘actor in a mask’, the little lamb, to bring her to play at Star Antimony… Selene can’t bear a child for her, nor can you replace her—after all, no matter how much you delay, you can’t remove The Holy Crown and leave the Holy Nation before the Pure White Saintess cleanses the Amberficate.”

“Which means, when given the choice between the ‘outsiders’ of the Holy Nation and your own unborn child who is already dead, you did not hesitate to choose the outsiders…”

At this point, Aiwass and Alistair suddenly both came to a realization.

That’s it…

So that’s why Aiwass’s Path of Devotion’s Level increased so quickly!

It wasn’t solely because of the promise between Alistair and Isabel, but because Isabel wanted to have a child—Edward, Ligeia, and Freya all wished for the same, muttering about it.

—How could Isabel as the Monarch have no offspring?

Over time, even the ministers of Avalon and the civilians would become anxious. Although Isabel has a brother… The presence of both “the Queen’s brother” and “an adopted son taken in by the Queen” would inevitably cause fierce conflicts and lead to instability within the nation.

Perhaps Isabel herself was vaguely aware of this… which is why she said, “if there is a child.” In other words, in her heart, she already considered it highly likely that they might not be able to have their own descendants because they rose to power too swiftly…

When Aiwass donned The Holy Crown, he had not considered this. But when he suddenly realized it… every day he served as the Pope was an act of intense “Dedication”—as he was still too young and without offspring, the Dedication in wearing The Holy Crown was not just his own life, but the “future child,” the “continuation of life.”

The true cost was not just a few years of life.

It was about a teenager who had reached the pinnacle of power, healthy and strong, with a promising future, whose offspring would undoubtedly be the new king of Avalon, and who himself could potentially become the Celestial Marshal or even Pillar God, losing the ability to leave descendants in the Material Realm—this scale of Dedication is what enabled him to fill up the remaining experience bar of the Fourth Level in just half a month.

Perhaps not even the former Eternal Pope or the Cardinal Archbishops realized this. After all, Elves inherently have a rather diluted concept of bloodline, with surnames being continued mainly through inheritance.

Or rather, it is precisely because of the low fertility of upper-class Transcendent Elves that such special customs arose. Therefore, not a single Elf realized there was a problem here…

“Don’t hesitate anymore, boss. You’re too indecisive. Better listen to me—”

Alistair wasn’t one to drag her feet; she made up her mind decisively: “If I can level up by the end of the month, you’ll join me in leveling up; if I can only level up next month, then you’ll join me next month. Anyway, we don’t like children so much. As for Isabel… what you say doesn’t count, what I say doesn’t count either. It’s Isabel’s own matter, let her make the decision.”

“Anyway, we definitely can’t make it to Eagle Cape Village before dusk today. I plan to find King Helkin of the Wild Hunt tomorrow. Tonight, we can first go to see Isabel and see what she has to say.”

“…Okay.”

Aiwass couldn’t make up his mind, so he chose to go with the flow: “If you need me, just call. Whatever happens, the Holy Nation can be your support.”

“Wait for it, I definitely won’t be polite with you.”
