Blood Tears of Darkness

“Enough, don't touch me, Arthur! You no longer deserve to be called the father of this child. For hundreds of years we've been waiting for his arrival, and now… You're saying you want to kill him. What kind of father are you?!"

“Where is your affection, Arthur? He is your son, your flesh and blood that you should protect with all your soul, and not think of ending his life!”

The woman in the red dress, with shoulder-length hair, slightly wavy at the ends, couldn't hide her surprise. His gaze with the man with the blue bead, with the sword neatly sheathed at his waist, met each other.

Every now and then the woman waved her hand, when the man tried to touch her. She didn't want to be touched, especially with a man who blatantly wanted to kill the child in her womb.

''This is all for the safety of his life. I did this solely to protect our child and this Kingdom! Really, I didn't mean to kill him. You and I have been waiting for him, waiting for his cries to color this Palace, but he can't live for now. Please understand, Agatha!”

“There is nothing to understand! You're just blinded by power. A father would not think of killing his child, just for the sake of his pleasure!”

“Oh my, how many times have I told you! I have absolutely no intention of killing our son just for power. I made this decision solely to protect the Aqua People from Orion's cruelty. Please understand…”

The man was annoyed. Unthinkable before, starting from a casual conversation can end up with a great debate. He was silent for a moment, before finally resuming the sentence he had cut off.

“Agatha, let me do it without guilt. Trust me, I don't want to sacrifice him either. However, at this time that his birth would bring great disaster to the Three Kingdoms, it was likely that even Mercury would be destroyed. The balance of the Universe will be disturbed… Please understand the current state of affairs, Agatha.”

Man; named Arthur was trying to calm his wife, namely; Agatha Hester who was ignited by emotion.

How did Agatha not get angry? Marriage that has existed for hundreds of years, waiting for a baby's cry in domestic life. It will all come true in a few months' time. In fact, before happiness really comes, Arthur himself decides to kill his baby, on the grounds that he wants to protect the child and the Kingdom he leads.

Agatha did not accept, until finally a big debate broke out between the two. Arthur tried to make Agatha understand, how terrible the disaster that would come after the child was born later. However, the woman in the red dress didn't want to understand it at all, and still snickered to keep the baby in her unborn child.

"Try to understand, Agatha. At this time hundreds of thousands of troops, led directly by King Orion, began to move against our Nation. The goal is only one, namely to seize the Immortality that is in our children. I don't want him to die at the hands of Orion, and Immortality fall on him. Do you want Planet Airraksa to be ruled by a King like him? You want the Three Kingdoms to submit under the orders of a savage King like him? Try to understand ….''

No matter how much Arthur explained, no matter how hard he asked his wife to understand, Agatha still snickered at her stance. It didn't matter if Immortality fell into Orion's hands or not, the woman in the red dress just wanted her baby to live as she had been waiting for.

Agatha had longed for a child to be in her arms. She is indeed a queen, a tough woman, with a steel mentality. However, all of that did not make his life perfect. Therefore, with the presence of a child, Agatha felt that her life as a woman was complete.

"If that's the case. Then don't blame me for leaving. Either way, I wouldn't hand this baby in the womb to a man like you, who only thinks about the Kingdom!"

Arthur was silent for a moment. His mind went blank. His eyes and Agatha's met each other. The woman in the red dress with the belly that began to bulge, looked serious. His tone of voice had clearly described how much he didn't want his son to die in vain.

Arthur took a deep breath, before finally speaking again, "You won't be able to leave this Kingdom. All over the Planet of Mercury has even been installed with Lunar power walls. Anyone who wants to get out of this Planet, then Orion will find out easily. When that happens, You can't escape it."

Arthur continued to approach. Agatha also increased her vigilance. The place he was currently treading on was vast. However, Agatha was unable to get out of the room, because Arthur had installed protective Magic, which was difficult if not impossible to penetrate, with ordinary strength.

The man, who was about five hundred years old, tried hard to get close to Agatha who kept walking away. Arthur's hand tried to reach his wife who was five months pregnant. However, Agatha always managed to brush it off.
