Blood and Tears

"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.

"Stop right there, Arthur! You're one step closer, then I won't hesitate to use force against you. I'm not only the Queen of the Aqua Kingdom, but I'm also the Goddess of the Miracle nation. After all, our strengths are equal. Even if we fight , then I won't lose!"

Arthur smiled bitterly. He gently massaged his head which was starting to hurt, if this debate continued. It is not impossible, he will take decisive action, as seen. Discussions did not find a way out, on the contrary it made the current situation even worse. There is no other way, namely by fighting if it can solve everything.

Agatha was silent for a few moments, before finally taking a deep breath and realizing what she said could have an even bigger impact. To challenge Arthur was to give up one's life. The very thing he should have avoided.

However, Agatha had raised the war flag, which meant that now Arthur was no longer her husband, but an enemy. An enemy who wants to harm his son.

Who doesn't know the greatness of the man who for three hundred years led the Aqua Kingdom? Arthur was born with extraordinary strength, the talent in Martial Arts that he mastered made the man nicknamed the Ice King difficult to beat. Even in the Three Kingdoms, no one has been able to defeat him, except Orion; The king of the Shiner kingdom, even then their strength is equally balanced.

Arthur, closed his eyes for a moment, flashed back the beautiful memories that had been passed with Agatha. The woman in the red dress, that brave, tough and fearless figure, had in fact colored her life for nearly two hundred years.

Two hundred years is not a short time to live a household life. There are times when a storm hits, but it passes easily. Everything is bound by trust. Arthur loved Agatha so much, from the very beginning he was met with this woman.

His interest was not only from the beautiful face of the woman nicknamed the Goddess of Miracles, but her firm and indiscriminate character that made Arthur liked Agatha. From the start, he could see other qualities that women generally don't have, and Arthur found them in Agatha.

Until finally the love of the two people was united in the bond of marriage. The sacred promise spoken, remembering the two hearts that had filled each other.

In fact, the two hundred years that have passed, the sweet and sour of life, the ups and downs of the household that have passed, cannot make Agatha understand the current situation.

Arthur opened his eyes again, looking Agatha up and down. Nothing has changed from the woman, only her stomach is starting to bulge slightly, that's where the descendants of the Aqua Nation are.

"You said it yourself, Agatha. Don't blame me if in the end, I used power to make you understand..."

Agatha swallowed her saliva, which she feared was about to happen. You can already imagine how great power Arthur will show later.

Agatha pressed her stomach, as if hugging her child. The thing that immediately crossed his mind was, Arthur would very easily kill the baby if that happened.

The sea-blue eyes had turned red. Indicates his seriousness to use force, in order to get what he wants.

Agatha couldn't just sit still. He also has an obligation to protect the child in his womb, even though the opponent in front of him is the husband, as well as the father of the baby.

"I'll give you one more chance. Hand over the baby nicely, or..."

Arthur hung up on his words, at the same time Agatha snatched them up.

"I told you! I won't hand him over to a man like you. If we have to fight, then I won't hesitate to fight regardless of your status, Arthur! Even if I have to die later, I won't regret it!"
