Chapter 769 Too Much Good News


    While Amon and Be were busy with their own thing, Livia let outlet out a sigh as she stared in the direction of her daughter''s bedchamber. She had just walked her soon-to-be inw to her bedchamber to rest, and she couldn''t help but think that Queen Mother Mona seemed to be a nice woman. Until now, it had been hard for her to process everything, but Amon and his mother''s arrival tonight just proved that everything her son and daughter told them was surreal.


    "I''m happy for you, my dear," she whispered with a content smile on her face as she made her way back to the living area. She was very grateful that her daughter was finally happy. That usual lively glow in her eyes was back, and she only had Amon to thank for it.


    By the time Livia returned to Talon''s side, Bartos and Jayra, together with her husband were still up and engaged in a productive conversation.


    "I just hope Be won''t end up marking him tonight," Bartos snorted with a twitch of his mouth while giving her out pout. "It''s too soon for that."


    Livia chuckled at that. She had purposely let Be have her privacy with Amon by suggesting that she let him see her workce, and she could only assume that the urge to mark him would ovee her sooner orter.


    "She won''t, Bartos. Let your sister have fun and make the most of things," Livia stated with a wide smile. "She deserves at least that after seeing her suffer for so long… I''m just d that my daughter is getting her happy ending after all this time."


    "That''s true, Mother. Our Be deserves it, and she and Osman are truly fated for each other," Jayra agreed with a smile. "Osman- I mean Amon is her mate, and nothing will change that."


    "What? Amon is Be''s mate?" Talon burst out.


    Surprised, Jayra turned to her husband and asked, "They didn''t know?"


    Bartos scratched his head. "Ah, we forgot to mention that," he sheepishly replied. "There''s just too much information to tell them… Be also forgot about that part, I suppose."


    "But Be didn''t recognize him as her mate before?" Talon asked.


    "Oh, that''s because Osman was under a protective spell as a human to hide the demon blood in him. Then he turned into a Lycan, so his true scent was jarred at that point," Jayra quickly exined. "But once the spell was broken, Be was able to recognize his scent properly, and it turned out that he was also her mate."


    "Oh, such a blessing then!" Livia gasped, her eyes welling up as she was overwhelmed with everything that was happening in their lives. "I''m so happy for my daughter!"


    Smiling, Talon pulled her close to his arms and wiped away the tears of joy running down her cheeks. Happily, she smiled at her husband who lovingly kissed her forehead.


    "We still need to support her, dear. I believe Be will need someone with her to apany her to a foreign kingdom," Amon couldn''t help but voice out his concern. "I know that Amon will take care of her and that her soon-to-be mother-inw is nice, but they''re still going to a foreign kingdom. And to be honest… it''s Helion… We don''t know how the Helonians will treat her and how they will take their king''s sudden union to a foreigner. Be…" He let out a sigh as he hoped, "I just hope that her journey moving forward will be smooth. Then again, we both know that nothing is ever smooth sailing in life…"


    "It''ll be fine," Livia reassured him as she then nced at Bartos and suggested, "Maybe Jayra can keep Bepany? After all, her newfound family is also there."


    Instead of answering, Bartos and Jayra exchanged meaningful nces with each other. Aside from the good news about Be and Amon, Bartos also informed them about her daughter-inw Jayra finding out about her biological family. It turned out that Jayra was from the royal family of Helion, and that she was Osman''s cousin from his father''s side.


    "What is it? I thought Jayra found her sister. Will she not spend time with her in Helion?" Livia asked with a frown." Livia asked with a frown. "Or is her sister the oneing here to spend time with her?"


    "Oh, it''s not that, Mother. There''s no problem at all if Jayra wants to apany Be," Bartos quickly replied with an awkward smile," Bartos quickly replied with an awkward smile. "I just want to"I just want to stay with her if that happens..."


    "What is with that look then? Are you and Jayra talking through the bond about something?" Livia questioned. It seemed to be nothing too serious with how her daughter-inw blushed, so it should be safe for them to share whatever it was they were discussing." Livia questioned. It seemed to be nothing too serious with how her daughter-inw blushed, so it should be safe for them to share whatever it was they were discussing. ""Tell us. What is it?"


    "Jayra is pregnant, Mother," Bartos said with a wide smile.


    Livia blinked at the sudden news for a while as she processed that new bit of information. Likewise, everyone seemed to remain silent as they waited for a response. Eventually, however, someone broke the silence...


    "Oh heavens!" It was Talon who reacted first as he got up from his chair to hug Jayra and Bartos. Congrattions, you too! I can''t believe this! I''m going to be a grandfather now!"


    Snapping herself out of her excitement, Livia followed suit as she hugged Jayra and kissed her cheek. "Oh, this is truly good news. Everything is just too good to be true today!" she burst out. "I feel like there''s too much good news happening all at once! Oh! There are so many things to celebrate!"


    "That''s why Jayra and I were talking through our bond earlier. It was whether to tell you this or not," Bartos chuckled. "After all, we first need to focus on Be''s Ritual of Marking. It''s her special day tomorrow, so all the attention must be on her first. We can tell the news about Jayra''s pregnancy to the packter. After all, they shouldn''t be able to smell this new scent from hers just yet. I told her to mask the scent of our baby with a spell, so we''ll just remove it once we''re officially about to announce the good news."


    "Oh, alright then. Let''s focus on Be''s Ritual of Marking first. You can go and walk Jayra to your bedchamber so she can rest early. You cane back afterward to help me with the preparations," Livia instructed Bartos before she then looked at Talon. "We all have a long night ahead of us. I want a grand ritual for my only daughter, so we best prepare for it despite the short notice."


    "I can help too, Mother." Jayra offered.


    "No, you must be pampered well, my dear," Livia rebutted with a pout. "You''re carrying our first grandchild, so make sure that you''re healthy and well rested so that your baby will be healthy. You''re not allowed to exhaust yourself now."


    Talon chuckled. "It''s a good thing your Mother is too excited to send Be off to have her own family," he teasingly said. "She even already has a dress prepared for her long ago."


    "Well, I really thought about getting Be a husbandst year, so I ordered a lot of clothes for her to use to socialize with…" Livia snorted.


    She still remembered how she liked Osman very much for Best year, and she was happy of how the Great Admiral had his eyes on her daughter. She didn''t even have to make an effort to y cupid because the man was persistent in knowing his ways to get her daughter''s heart and attention.


    Satisfied, Livia stood up and said, "Come now, husband. Let''s start working well into the night to give our daughter the perfect Ritual of Marking tomorrow!"


    "Right, I also just realized… Who would have thought that our dear Be would end up bing the Queen of a kingdom," Talon mirthfully stated.


    "Ah, you should have given her pieces of training regarding politics. It won''t be good if she faces the Helonians without enough knowledge about handling a crown." Livia snorted. It was not that Be was not knowledgeable but she still did believe that her daughter should study more so she wouldn''t look naive once she wore and fulfilled her duty as Amon''s Queen.


    "Don''t worry about that, Mother. Bartos and I will not leave Be''s side until we make sure that she''s ready to handle things on her own," Jayramented.


    "Yes, and besides, Jayra''s sister is the Chancellor so Lera will assist Be in everything," Bartos seconded.


    Livia nodded and with a relieved sigh she said, "Right, I''m sure Be will do just fine after all that daughter of mine is very strong, and she will definitely work hard with Amon by her side…"
