Way of the Knights

---

Raven was faced with a dilemma.

What happened? Oh nothing much really! It's just that Morel, one of this Kingdom's Golden Knight who's reputation shines brightly like the sun, just officially declared his service to him. 

In other words, Morel wanted to be his servant.

His declaration alone was enough to make Raven speechless for a good while. Raven even thought about whether Morel was under the effect of any drugs or if he was drunk and not on his proper mindset when he made this declaration. 

But the solemnness and action that Morel showed convinced him otherwise. It wasn't until Morel introduced Joanna to him that everything became clear.

Honestly at this point, Raven did so many things to mess up the timeline that he had no idea what's about to happen next. During his previous life, he had no recollection or any interactions at all with this prestigious man, much less be aware that he had a daughter. 

All he did was to free the captives, he didn't expect to have a Golden Knight to be indebted to him. And now he had no idea what to do. 

Under normal circumstances, he would've denied this proclamation without batting an eye. Simply because he it's improper to take advantage of someone of this caliber. Morel was old enough to be his Grandfather, despite of his high cultivation, Raven couldn't find it to himself to force the man into service when in fact he should spend his time with his daughter.

But on the other hand, he could tell that Morel was determined to pay his debts (which is totally coincidental). Even Joanna didn't oppose his decision, in fact if her Dad didn't do it, she might've, only Morel wanted her to live her life to the fullest that's why he decided to do it himself.

Before Raven gave his answer, he went to his parents to get their opinion. 

By this time, it is obvious that the people who entered a short period of closed-door cultivation had already finished claiming their gains, which are by no means little. 

Majority of them achieved breakthroughs in their Law cultivation, while the breakthrough wasn't enough to make them step towards the Second Stage of their respective Laws, it was enough for them to raise their overall combat efficiencies, something that is very hard to come considering their current Realms. Their enlightenments undoubtedly strengthened their fundamental Law control. Before they left, they offered their sincere thanks towards Raven and went back to their posts. What they didn't know is that, this only the start of their power boost, the Spiritual Marks that they received from their Spirit Entities had more in store for them, something that Raven didn't find necessary to tell them.

After discussing it with his parents, they told him that it was his decision. Luis also felt that this situation is a bit improper but if it will result in his son's safety then he had no qualms about it. Luis told him the pros and cons of accepting him. He didn't deliberately showed nor implied it but Raven got his father's message.

In his stress, Raven decided to drink Moonshine with his parents. But he never thought that this little action of his would change the whole situation around. 

After having his sense heightened by Moonshine, Raven couldn't help but stare at his mother. His stare was very solemn that it was making Eva a bit uncomfortable. Luis saw this and was similarly confused.

"What's the matter, son?"

But Raven didn't answer him. Instead, he walked towards Eva and placed a hand on her stomach. He sent the most gentle and faintest energy pulse throughout her body. Eva jolted for a bit but she was more curious about his son's actions rather than what she was feeling.

"Mom?" Raven asked, Eva looked at him and gave him a questioning look. "Have you been feeling slightly out of it during mornings?"

Raven's question stunned his mother, nevertheless she thought about it for a bit and nodded. "Actually, yes. It's probably because I was worried about your well being. I mean you were unconscious and all."

'That will only happen to regular humans, Mom. You're a Knight yourself, that kind of stress would be gone with some good sleep.' Raven inwardly said.

'Dad?' Raven called out using his sound transmission. 'How's her mood swings.'

Luis didn't show any changes in his expressions since he knew that his son didn't want to ask this question out loud. He replied in one word. 'Terrible.'

Raven' eyes shone brightly which didn't escape his parents' notice. Raven chuckled and gave a bottle to Eva.

"Drink this, Mom." 

"Okay?" Eva replied, still very confused about the situation decided to do what her son says, he's not going to harm her anyway. After drinking the contents of the bottle, Eva found out that it's just water.

Raven took out some materials and worked his magic. The two watched on, clearly confused about what he was doing and his intentions. Later then, he placed something on Eva's palm and told her to use it.

"What's this?" Eva asked curiously.

Raven's face turned slightly peculiar and said: "Look at it carefully. Are you sure you don't know what that is?"

Eva frowned and inspected the thing in her hands. After sometime, her eyes widened as she looked at Raven with shining eyes.

"Is this what I think it is?" She asked in a somewhat breathless tone.

"Yes, Mom." Raven nodded and took a quick glance at Luis. "It's pregnancy test."

Luis shot up from his seat and looked at his wife with shining eyes, his mouth was slightly open. It won't take a genius in order to find out what Raven was implying, but still Luis and Eva was caught rather unprepared for this moment.

"Come on, Mom. That's precisely why I gave you the water." Raven urged, feeling slightly jittery as well. At this point, he could say that he was at least 80% certain of his guesses but just to make sure, he still wanted Eva to use the pregnancy test so that it would be more accurate. 

Luis also joined urged his wife, however he was more of anxious and excited. His hands were practically shaking. Who would've known that someone like him could lose his composure in such a manner? 

"Ai! You boys." Eva laughed and shook her head, she then headed straight towards the restroom. In fact, she too felt her heart pounding. This news was completely unexpected! She prayed to every deity for her son's guess to be true. 

Moments later, Eva came out of the restroom with a peculiar expression. Luis practically jumped towards her and asked her about the results. Eva shook her head and looked at her son, who chuckled and asked her to show him the results.

Well, Raven's version of the pregnancy test is somewhat different. It looked like the regular one in a first glance but the way how it indicates the results are different. 

As Raven saw the results, he was overwhelmed with joy. He threw his hands up in the air and laughed merrily.

"Woohooo! I'm going to have siblings! Wooohoo! I'm going to be a Big Brother!"

Luis was similarly overjoyed, he hugged his wife and felt slightly emotional. As for Eva however, she debated to herself if she heard her son wrong.

"Avi?" Eva asked, somewhat unsure. "What do you mean by siblings?"

Luis also froze upon hearing this. He pulled away from the embrace and looked incredously at his son.

"You didn't hear me wrong!" Raven laughed. He took a step forward and pointed at the pregnancy test. "This one is different from the regular ones. It could accurately tell whether the fetus is healthy or not, how old they are and it could also tell whether it's just one or more."

Under the dumbstruck gazes of his parents, he pointed at the results and continued. "It shows here that they're perfectly healthy, they're two weeks old and there's two of them. As for the genders, we don't know that yet but it doesn't matter! I'm going to be a Big Brother! Woohooo!"

Raven threw his hands up in the air once again and celebrated. He was practically over the moon. It had to be known that he was an only child during his past life. It comes with pros and cons but he really wanted to have a sibling or two. Aside from his desire for siblings, he also thought that if there's something distracting his parents, then he would be able to leave them at peace, knowing that their attention would be somewhere else instead of overly worrying about him. 

Now, those wishes of his came true. Well, he really wanted to feel what its like to be a big brother so by hook or by crook, it has to happen. But it seems that he didn't need to work his magic after all. His mother is pregnant, what's more it's twins! This is more than what he asked for and he was thankful for it!

Seeing his jolly reaction, his parents couldn't help but to feel happy too.
