章 95: Conflict as Old as Time

"THE High Priest worships our son, Kiho," Tilly said to Kiho. She should have said this from the start. But there were so many things they had to discuss first so she almost forgot to tell him about the conversation she had with Howard. "He told me that our son is the Moon Serpent that will swallow the moon someday."

"The moon represents His Majesty," Kiho said in surprise. "Was the High Priest implying that our son would kill the emperor in the future?"

She nodded as confirmation. "According to him, that's the real prophecy."

"If that's true, then does it mean that His Majesty knows the truth from the start?"

"That seems to be the case."

"If His Majesty is waiting for our son to be reborn despite the prophecy, it only means that he needs our son for something important," Kiho said with a hint of worry in his voice. "I don't like this. He wants your heart and now, he's aiming for our son who hasn't even been born yet."
