TSK.

Nikolai would rather be Neoma and Nero to check on his children, but Commander Ruto sunddely requested a private audience with him and Mona.

Since his wife agreed immediately, he had no choice but to follow suit.

Hence, the three of them were currently in his private tea room.

[That baby…]

Nikolai's gaze landed on the sleeping baby in Commander Ruto's arms. "Isn't that the God of Death?"

"Yes, Your Lord Majesty," Commander Ruto said politely. "The soul of the Death of God is still in this precious vessel, but once Neoma returns his other eye, his soul will leave this body."

"Will the God of Death be alright?" Mona asked worriedly. "He used that vessel because his physical body was destroyed by Helstor, didn't he?"

"That's right, Your Lady Majesty," Commander Ruto said, nodding. "But the God of Death only needed to use a different vessel because Helstor stole his eyes. A god who loses their eyes also loses half of their power. That's the only reason why the God of Death couldn't create a vessel that would suit his soul."

"I see," Mona said, nodding. "Then what will happen to the vessel that the God of Death used."

The air around the young commander suddenly changed.

And that was when the realization hit Nikolai.

[He wanted to talk about that shell. Didn't he even call it a "precious" vessel earlier?]

"Your Lord Majesty, Your Lady Majesty, this is the vessel of the child that I had with Neoma in the first timeline."

Nikolai almost threw the teacup at Commander Ruto's face.

Mona, on the other hand, almost choked on her tea.

"Warn us before you say something like that," Nikolai scolded the young commander while rubbing Mona's back. "You startled my wife."

Commander Ruto bowed his head politely "I apologize, Your Majesties."

"It's alright," Mona said, then she wiped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief that Nikolai handed to her. "Does Neoma know?"

"I haven't told her directly yet, but I know that Neoma already noticed."

Nikolai let out a frustrated sigh. "Don't tell us something that Neoma should know first."

"I understand what Your Lord Majesty means, but I figured Your Majesties should know in advance because I need your help," Commander Ruto said. "To be precise, I need Your Lady Majesty's help once the God of Death left my child's vessel."

'My' child.

When Commander Ruto said that, Nikolai was hit by the fact that Neoma really did have a child with this young man.

As a father, he didn't know how to feel about that.

[After all, Neoma is still a baby to me.]

"Once the soul leaves this vessel, the vessel will return to its original form: a seedling," Commander Ruto said. "Since Your Lady Majesty is a Roseheart who's revered as the Daughter of Nature and regarded as the Cosmic Tree's daughter, I believe Your Lady Majesty can recreate a small version of the Garden of Life for this little one."

Nikolai, despite having nothing to do with Nature or the Cosmic Tree, understood that the young commander just gave Mona an impossible task.

[What is this young man trying to do here?]

"Commander Ruto, you seem to be overestimating my abilities," Mona said in a serious tone. "I may be the Daughter of Nature and the daughter of the Cosmic Tree, but even I couldn't recreate the Garden of Life. It's something that only the Goddess of Life could create."

"A Roseheart could do it, Your Lady Majesty."

Mona gasped softly. "Did Neoma create a small Garden of Life in the past?"

"That, she did," Commander Ruto said, nodding. "I helped Neoma create the small Garden in the first timeline. It doesn't have to be me this time, though. Anyone who has a huge amount of divine power could help a Roseheart create a piece of the Garden."

Ah, so that was what Nikolai was there for.

[I was wondering why Commander Ruto asked for my audience when it was Mona whom he needed.]

"So, you want me to help Mona recreate a small version of the Garden of Life?"

"Yes, Your Lord Majesty."

"Why does it have to be me and Mona? I'm not saying we won't do it, but I'm curious," Nikolai said carefully. "If you and Neoma were able to do that in the past, then I'm sure you can also do it this time."

Commander Ruto fell silent for a moment before he answered Nikolai's question. "Once the God of Death left this precious vessel, the vessel will return to its original form: a Seedling. To be precise, a dying Seedling."

Ah.

Nikolai suddenly felt bad for asking.

Even Mona could only cover her mouth with her hands when Commander Ruto's face suddenly darkened.

[It must be a painful memory for him and Neoma.]

"I'm certain Neoma would be in so much pain if she saw how our child looked in that state," Commander Ruto asked, then he whispered: "I can't also bear to see our child as a dying Seedling…"

Hmm.

Nikolai still didn't like Commander Ruto because he would never like anyone who coveted his precious daughter.

However, he could relate to the young commander at that moment.

As a father, Nikolai felt Commander Ruto's pain for losing his precious child.

"So please help us recreate a small version of the Garden of Life, Your Majesties," Commander Ruto pleaded to them desperately. "This little one won't survive in ordinary fields, It has to be similar to the Garden, because the current Garden is already being corrupted by Helstor's Darkness."

Nikolai knitted his eyebrows. "Helstor did that to the Garden of Life? Unforgivable–"

"How dare that coward of a god destroy our precious grandchild's home?" Mona asked coldly, clenching her hands tight. "I'll make our grandson a temporary home, but I'll make Helstor pay for what he did."

Commander Ruto smiled and nodded gratefully.

Nikolai, on the other hand, suddenly had an epiphany.

Right.

Neoma's child was Nikolai and Mona's grandchild.

[I'm already a grandfather?!]
