Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Worries
His gaze darkened. "And anyone who stands in the path leading to that Throne must be sacrificed."His eyes seemed to pierce through space itself.
"It just so happens that you’ve become one of those obstacles. So naturally, they’ll eliminate you before you ever have the chance to interfere."
Ivy immediately puffed out her cheeks. "I’m not even interested in that stupid throne."
She crossed her arms. "Why are they acting as though I desperately want it?"
Nanami merely smiled. "Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter whether you want it or not. What matters is whether they believe you might one day obtain it."
The room fell silent again. Finally, Nanami spoke once more. "Anyway, I’ve delivered my warning."
His expression became serious. "If possible, finish both of them within the next two days."
Silas nodded without hesitation. "I understand."
The communication link gradually faded. Silence once again filled the underground room.
Silas lowered his gaze toward Ivy. She had remained unusually quiet throughout the entire conversation.
Her brows were slightly knitted together, and she appeared completely lost in thought. He gently brushed his fingers against her cheek.
"What happened?"
His voice became soft. "What are you thinking about?"
Ivy remained silent for several seconds. Eventually, she sighed quietly. "With everything that’s happening, I’m honestly starting to wonder whether this is the right time for us to have a baby."
She looked into Silas’s eyes. "I’m worried."
A trace of anxiety surfaced across her beautiful face. "I’m afraid this child will only make everything more difficult for us."
"I mean... if the Superior Beings attack while I’m pregnant, won’t I only become your burden?"
The moment those words left her mouth, Silas’s expression immediately changed. His eyes slowly narrowed.
Indeed, if another battle broke out while Ivy was carrying their child, he would have to fight countless powerful enemies while simultaneously protecting both his wife and their unborn baby.
What bothered him wasn’t the fighting... rather the fact that Ivy would be in discomfort for a long time. She might even miscarry.
What if no one is by her side at that moment? Won’t her life be in danger then?
The mere thought alone caused his heart to tighten painfully. Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Then, how about we abort the child?"
