Lazarus was taking care of the 3 Ice Element Tree in the courtyard of Regulus castle. In a beautiful little cottage Theresia was taking care of Julius, while Freya sewed clothes from Beast's skin.
Lazarus went to a hive pool of Heilong Ao Yue and Celestial Jinlong Golden Sun. A black GoldFish Beast was striking, it swam around Golden Sun and Ao Yue.
"Golden Sun, shouldn't Little Black now be released in the wild?" Lazarus asked.
"Little Black, too small to be released in the wild!" Ao Yue replied.
"Ao Yue, your affection will kill Little Black in the future. As a Long Beast, he had to learn to survive on his own away from his family. You know the Beast race is different from the humanoid race?" Lazarus asked.
Ao Yue looked at Little Black with her eyes twinkling. He did not want to release Little Black alone.
"Golden Sun, Ao Yue, I'm not saying that you guys should release Little Black alone. Go with Little Black to the great river Zephyra that passes through the Emerald Forest, you know that river is the longest river in the Western Continent." Lazarus says.
"alright. However, I have to ask Iris for permission to leave." Ao Yue said.
Lazarus nodded.
Lazarus walked towards the little cottage and played for a while with his son Julius, he was very affectionate with all his sons because he was a child who grew up without affection.
"I will go to Lion Heart Empire to meet Altair." Lazarus says.
"Go away and you must come back before night." Freya answered.
Lazarus said goodbye to Freya and Theresa, and he went to the stable. Alastair teaches Veronika and all her siblings horseback riding and the Beast flies.
"Dad/Urs." Everyone was screaming at the same time.
"I've told you all to call me Dad!" Lazarus shouting.
"Urs, do you want to go?" Akihiro asked.
"Do you want to come with me?" Lazarus asked.
"We want to come with you." Leonhart, Gardenia, Arion, Ariana, Akihiro, Akari, Aris and Veronika said.
Lazarus opened a barn where there was a beautiful white horse-drawn carriage. Lazarus pulled the chariot out of the barn, then put up the towing rope to the 15th White Dragon Horse.
"Urs, can't the 3 White Dragon Horse also pull that horse carriage?" Arion asked.
"I used the 15 White Dragon Horse so they wouldn't get tired." Lazarus answered.
"Urs, isn't your real goal to show off to people?" Ariana asked.
Ariana had a sharp tongue like a sword. Ariana has no traits like Alyssa and herself, but she learns that Ariana is close to Carissa so her tongue is as sharp as a sword.
"I have many high rank Beasts. Wouldn't if I wanted to show off, I'd use them to pull a car?" Lazarus smiled softly.
Amaryllis and Blossom approached Lazarus, who was laying a horse-string, and they knew Lazarus wanted to go somewhere.
"Dad, can I come with you?" Amaryllis asked.
"Grandfather, I want to come with you too." Blossom says.
"Cart seats aren't enough for you two and Blossom, doesn't your mother want to spend time with you?" Alastair asked.
"Alastair, you're too stiff as the past." Amarilis says.
"Amarilis, you are a very free woman. As your brother I just want to say you already have a son and must be a good mother." Alastair stared intently at Amaryllis.
Amaryllis and Blossom whistled a silver fox with 2 tails and a golden fox ran towards them from a distance.
Lazarus took Akari in the carriage, and helped Arion and the others into the carriage.
"Sir, do you want to go?" Beastman Snow Wolf race Helga asked.
Lazarus was on the coachman bench, initially he would be a chariot coachman all the way to the Lion Heart Imperial Palace.
"Helga, I will go with the children to the Lion Heart Imperial Palace." Lazarus says.
"Mr Urs, let me be the chariot driver." Helga offers herself as the horse-driver of Lazarus.
Lazarus thought for a moment. Helga has a lot of hands-on combat experience, she has a lean body and muscular build. But whether women as beautiful as Helga is not ashamed to be a horse coachman.
"Dad, let me be a horse-driver." Alastair offered.
"Are Liza and Lizzy not here?" Lazarus asked.
"Liza and Lizzy have a fever and I'm replacing them taking care of the horses." Helga answered.
Lazarus looked toward Helga. A moment later Helga lowered her head as if she wanted to be the coachman of Lazarus.
"Well, you'll be the chariot driver and Regulus's family bodyguard." Lazarus says.
"All right." Helga smiled brightly and her white wolf tail swayed.
Helga spurred the Beast horses away to the Lion Heart Imperial Palace, she had long admired Lazarus. But Lazarus treated everyone the same and Helga had no chance to go with Lazarus.
Liza and Lizzy went to the stables, they saw the 15 White Dragon Horse was no longer in the racetrack. Blossom and Amarillis ride on the back of the fox Beast beside Lazarus' horse carriage.
"Did Mr Urs go with the train?" Lizza asked.
"Who will be the horseman!" Lizzy answered.
...****************...
Lazarus looked towards all his sons, daughters and grandchildren. Now he has 5 sons, 4 daughters and 3 grandchildren.
"Come, get over here." Lazarus smiled.
Akari is a cute Oni race girl with long black hair and blue eyes sitting on the lap of Lazarus.
"Urs, do you want to play with me?" Akari asked.
Lazarus took out a comb and combed Akari's long black hair. She loved Akari as much as her other children, she never saw Alastair and Amarylis grow up. But now he has 7 children who are still small and can spend time with them.
"What a beautiful hair." Lazarus smiled.
"I'm sorry I can't always be with you." Lazarus says.
Akari shook her head lightly. "Mother, say you're very busy."
Lazarus fitted the blue butterfly hairpin to Akari's hair and styled Akari's hair beautifully.
"Is this for me?" Akari smiles.
"My daughter, you're so beautiful." Lazarus hugged Akari softly, she was like a very beautiful little porcelain doll.
Akari and Akihiro look like twins, even though they are from different mothers. Unlike Leonhart and the other sons of Lazarus, they received little affection from Lazarus.
"Dad." Akari returned Lazarus' embrace with tears.
Akari grew up in a brothel. The women of the brothel always insult Akari for not having a father. All the male brothel patrons insult Akari because Reina, who is nicknamed the untouched rose, suddenly returns with a baby girl.
"Leonhart, as the second eldest son you must protect all your younger siblings especially your younger sister." Lazarus says.
"Urs, I'll protect them all." Leonhart replied.
Gardenia was sitting on one of Lazarus thighs, the golden-haired lion Beastman race girl and the blue eyes were staring at Lazarus.
"I understand."
Lazarus combed Gardenia's hair. She then gives Akari the same blue butterfly hairpin.
"Urs, are you going to visit me to the Beastman Empire?" Gardenia asked.
"I will visit you to the Beastman Empire." Lazarus answered.
Ariana went beside Lazarus. "I want to eat your cooking. The food of the Yggdrasil Kingdom is very bland and unpalatable. I'm tired of eating fruits and vegetables."
Gardenia got out of Lazarus' lap and Ariana took her place in Lazarus' lap. Everyone must have heard that the father of the daughter is the first love of the daughter.
"I've prepared a lot of food for you and you can bring it to the Kingdom of Yggdrasil." Lazarus smiled.
Ariana's golden and blue Heterochromia eyes stared at Lazarus. "Grandfather Legolas, tell me that I will be the next Queen of Elves. I'd rather live in Regulus with Father, Mother and Brothers."
"Do you love Grandpa Legolas?" Lazarus asked.
"I love Grandpa Legolas, but I love you more and 12 Mothers." Ariana replied.
"A bird will one day leave its nest. Ariana, you are a very smart girl. In the future you may go to Regulus because Regulus will remain your home." Lazarus smiled as he put on the same blue butterfly hairpin as Akari.
...****************...
The Lazarus group had already arrived at the Lion Heart Imperial Palace. The guards welcomed them.
Lazarus took Akari and walked towards the guards with Alastair.
"Is Altair in the Palace?" Lazarus asked.
Lazarus called Altair by name. But all the guards were not angry that Lazarus was a Grand Duke and the brother-in-law of Altair.
"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus, did you not know that Emperor Altair was referring to his 92 wives and concubines?" The guard whispered in Lazarus' ear.
Lazarus widened his eyes, knowing that Altair had divorced 92 of his wives. But he heard the news that Altair had been referring to them all.
"Uncle." Icarus and Calista ran towards Lazarus.
"I want to see Altair now." Lazarus says.
"Uncle, I'll guide you to meet Dad." Calista says.
Lazarus entered the palace room of the Lion Heart Empire where Altair was located. He then sees Altair waiting for him at the dinner table with Queen Florencia.
"Lazarus, did you visit me?" Altair got up and smiled subtly.
"I visited you with all my children and grandchildren. Akari, Leonhart go play with Amarilis and Blossom, I have a little business here with Alastair." Lazarus says.
"All right." Akari kissed Lazarus on the cheek and ran towards Blossom.
Lazarus and Alastair sat at the table. It seemed that Altair had prepared a lot of food it seemed like someone had already reported to Altair about his arrival.
"Uncle your wine." Calista gave Lazarus a wine plate.
"What's your business coming here?" Altair asked.
"I have a lot of business with you. First is why did you refer to your 92 wives?" Lazarus asked.
"I still love them and they're willing to cut ties with their families." Altair answered.
"I will go to the Northern Continent of Boreas and the Eastern Continent of Golden Sun. Do you and Icarus want to come with me?" Lazarus asked.
Altair and Icarus had sparkling eyes. He had not been adventurous for a long time and his adventurer soul was still burning.
Florencia. "Alright, leave the affairs of the Lion Heart Empire to me."
"Dad, didn't you take me?" Alastair asked.
"Tiara, Cassandra and Iris were enough to take care of the Regulus region. Alright Alastair you can also come with me, we also need someone experienced as our guide." Lazarus says.
"I know who can be our guide!" Altair says.
"Athan Aslan, is the one who will be our guide. He had already ventured into the region in the 4 Continents." Icarus says.
"Alright, we'll go to the Northern Continent of the Boreas tomorrow." Lazarus smiled.
"Are you going to bring your Contract Beast?" Alastair asked.
"I'll bring Celestial, Haru, Ren and Gin." Lazarus answered.
"Dad, I'll bring Ice Wyvern Ursa." Alastair smiles.
"I'll take Nemea." Altair smile.
