Soul Karmas (BL)

"Baby? What's going on? Are you alright???"

Suddenly, Snow clearly heard the worried voice of his lover despite being deep in the water while the glow in the large clamshell started to get brighter in the frozen lake.

'My Love, our child is about to be born in a few days and I need to remain by his side at all times. Don't worry though, our son Flake is about to arrive, he will help you out while I can't stay by your side.'

Claus let out a sigh of relief after hearing the voice of the beautiful siren in his mind, before nodding his head even though he knew that the siren in the water couldn't see it.

"Baby, don't worry about me. For as long as you need, I'll make sure nothing can disturb you, so please take care of yourself and give birth to our child without worry."

"..."

… Your words can easily cause others to also misunderstand that I am really giving birth to our baby…

Really like Father and son huh… 

'Mnm… I'll make sure that our baby son will come out safely.'

"Baby, please don't forget to take care of yourself too."

Picking up the curious baby dragon gazing upon the brightening frozen lake, Claus has waved his hands causing the entire forest to suddenly come to life. Soon countless trees had grown bigger and longer, which soon became a perfect defense surrounding the entire frozen lake.

"Aside from Xaver and I, anyone else who gets close will be dealt with. Baby, I'll always wait for you in the Villa."

'Thank you, My Love. You will be the first person I will look for as soon as I'm done giving birth to our son.'

Underneath the water, Snow smiles gently while finally deciding to completely freeze the entire lake with his special power. At the same time, his blue fishtail turning into a pair of human legs since the lifetime curse wouldn't allow Snow to remain for so long in the water if he is in a siren form.

Of course, even in a human form, the lifetime curse also works, it just wasn't severe and harsh as the other form.

And the moment Snow lovingly hugged the large clamshell in his arms the entire lake became frozen. And before he completely lost consciousness while frozen, he gently whispered goodnight to his lover's mind before turning into a deep sleep.

The only time Snow consciousness is going to wake up is when a presence manages to get close to his protective range of detection.

"Goodnight Baby."

After a few moments of silence, Claus shot a loving gaze upon the completely frozen lake before turning around and leaving the forest.

"Uncle Claus, what is Uncle Snow doing? Is the baby alright?"

"The baby is about to be born, Uncle Snow needs to stay and protect it."

Claus gently patted the head of his nephew while showing a gentle smile with his dark green eyes gleaming with excitement at the thought of their child that is about to be born. Although he is saddened from being unable to stay with his Baby, the child's existence is another form of binding them with each other.

… Baby, whoever you are, whatever identity you have, you are forever mine… and I am also yours…

Of course, he also accepts the fact that the unborn siren is their own child.

"Really? I can't wait for the baby to play with me! We are going to have so much fun together~"

"Well, how about we play with Flake first alright? Let's go clean up the enemies while our Uncle Snow is busy taking care of the baby."

"Brother Flake will be with us soon? Great!"

Xaver's shining eyes turned brighter when a certain ten-year-old demon dolphin was mentioned before nodding his head in happiness, completely showing his childish side instead of the usual act of being a mature adult.

Soon, a few minutes pass by.

And instead of entering the villa, Claus and Xaver have stood outside the front door and curiously watched as a red sports car has skillfully traveled on the obviously chaotic road where the battle has occurred in front of the front gate of the suburb villa.

Swiftly bypassing the remaining frozen pieces scattered all over the place, at the same time, easily evading the group of people that have already started cleaning up the obvious battlefield.

"Daddy Claus! Flake miss you~"

As soon as the red sports car has stopped in front of the villa, an adorable ten-year-old boy has quickly gotten off before rushing over with a lovely and bright smile on his face.

"Hello son, how have you been? Did you have fun playing around outside?"

"Um! Flake had fun playing outside but I miss Daddy Snow and Father Claus more so I came~"

Without any hesitation, Claus started to act like a thoughtful and caring father while embracing the ten-year-old boy that has jump to his chest. At the same time, a flash of surprise appeared in his dark green eyes after seeing the gorgeous woman that had gotten off from the red sports car driver seat.

"Hello, My name is Dian. Starting today, I will be taking care of Flake's personal safety and needs. Basically, I accepted Flake as my Master and wanted to be his protector for the rest of his life."

Protector? The notoriously dangerous and mysterious red fox that only cares about herself has chosen a Master to protect and serve? The one that countless families wanted to win over?

I don't know how Flake did it, but that's my boy!

Claus couldn't help but glance at his grinning son that had hugged the baby dragon with a happy atmosphere around him. Remaining ignorant at the great achievement he has done, after all, the mysterious red demon fox is one of the top powerful figures in the entire world.

… Well, I will have more of my Baby's attention and time later on since there is a powerful figure that can protect one of their sons.

Completely hiding the shameless idea in mind, Claus has nodded his head toward the red demon fox that has begun to focus her entire attention toward the two children talking with each other, squealing and smiling in a foolish manner once in a while.

And after a few minutes of getting acquaintances for safety measures, the four of them have finally entered the villa.

Of course, the fact that Claus has let the red demon fox inside the villa was also to keep an eye on her since there is an important situation happening behind the villa, so friends or not, he needed to guard everyone.

Soon, the days had quickly passed by, and Claus was completely busy dealing with the broken balance of power in the Imperial City, completely swallowing the powerful families that had become weaker into his own power.

Of course, the entire situation has become easier to handle because of the cheat-like existence of Flake that has quickly dealt with the tricky part with his hacking skill.

At the same time, Flake didn't forget to deal with the mission goal, completely breaking down the power and wealth in their hands. Even though the world is full of different races and power, they still have to follow most of the common rules in human society.

Thus the power and wealth that has been built up by the pureblood vampire have slowly shrunk down to the point where Flake has pushed the mermaid princess and the pureblood vampire to the point where they could only stay close to the ocean with few people in their hands.

"Princess, please come with us and return back to the ocean!"

"Yes Princess, let's go back to the ocean. There is nothing we can do in the land, especially when the pureblood vampire will become powerless in a few days."

"Princess, we should go back and build our power in the ocean. Didn't that male witch reveal the severe curse he found to Aurel? No matter how powerful he is, it's useless if he can no longer stay long in the ocean! He will not be able to do anything to us anymore!"

"Yes Princess, rather than the land, we should focus our power on the ocean since the Siren wouldn't be able to do anything serious to us now! The entire ocean is going to be our mermaid territory!"

In a certain private beach house, Margaret remains quiet while gently holding the hand of her lover that has remained unconscious in the past few days after they run away. The severe injuries become serious after there is no break of a peaceful rest to fully recover after being chased.

"Give me a few more days to consider it."

The mermaids that have followed their Princess silently glance at each other before letting out a sigh and nodding their head before leaving the room.

After a few seconds of silence, Margaret has stood up before squeezing the towel placed in the water basin near the bed, and gently wiping the bloodless pale face of her unconscious lover that remains unresponsive.

"Gisil… how long are you going to sleep?"

Despite the gentle and quiet atmosphere around the usual lively mermaid princess, no one has been able to notice the silent storm brewing in her pink eyes, especially the gloom between her eyebrows.

"... are you finally willing to make a decision?"

In the silent room where the mermaid princess and the unconscious pureblood vampire stay, a tall figure has suddenly appeared in the corner of the room, which was the male witch that has managed to run away from Claus' hands.

"... As long as Gisil can wake up and recover the life he sacrificed, I don't care about anything else."

"Of course. I will make sure that your lover will be alright again. If we succeed, the two of you will be able to live together for a long time in the future."

An excited glint appeared in the male witch's eyes after finally receiving the nod of the mermaid princess after proposing a plan a few days ago.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the infatuated mermaid princess that could do anything for the sake of her love. Nonetheless, he didn't feel an ounce of contempt at the desperate act of the woman, after all, he also acted in a desperate manner to the person he has fallen in love with.

"Before proceeding toward the Forbidden cave of our Mermaid Race, I'll send the remaining people to a protected Island to stay."

Margaret softly spoke with her expression remaining calm and gentle, the desperate and miserable situation that she has experienced all these days has caused her to change and quickly grow up.

Particularly the dangerous situation of her lover, in which he could die anytime, completely causes her remaining childish naivety to disappear. It has been replaced with abnormal cruelty that would soon be shown toward the races she deemed as enemies.

"Gisil… don't worry… I will make sure that our dream will be fulfilled. They are the ones going to die and we will live with a happy future."

Margaret's usually clear and shimmering pink eyes darkened contain an unimaginable madness brewing upon it.

Just as I promise, I will make sure to make them pay for what they have done!
