Book 5: Chapter 36
“Your Highness! Your Highness! The princess has given birth! She gave birth to a boy and the examination shows that his mana purity is comparable to the princess! His mana is only slightly less pure!!”
The maid made the announcement with glee while holding the mana detector.
The needle on the mana detector pointed to the furthest left side.
The elf king froze up and then laughed aloud. He gave his son firm pats on his back and said, “Nice. Very nice. Now isn’t this just perfect? You didn’t disappoint, Inard. Your child with Vyvyan is perfect. Of course, I feel like your sister now has a burden to carry too.”
“Father, Vyvyan is a demi-god while I am just an ordinary elf.” Inard chuckled bitterly. He had no way of telling his father that the child wasn’t his and Vyvyan’s. If it were his child with Vyvyan, he himself would be happy right now as well, because he’d be a second Vyvyan with such a mana purity level.
But the more powerful and pure the child’s mana was, the more pain he would suffer in the future because mana is meaningless to him. However, that meaningless thing would forever torture him until death.

“Your Majesty, why aren’t you running anymore? Are you surrendering because you know you can’t escape?”
The cavalry squad members came one after another.
