Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2205 2205: Hide it for now

"How did it go?"

It truly seemed as though they held no regard for the journey I had just undertaken to retrieve the very answer they sought.

Both Aisha and Moon appeared fixated on a singular point; nothing else seemed to register.

One could certainly label this their maternal affection.

Nevertheless, my own children were also a concern, so I relayed precisely what Vivrum had conveyed.

Upon finishing, I awaited their response, curious about the reaction I would receive.

Yet, it seemed they offered no reaction whatsoever.

Their expressions remained blank, as if they hadn't even begun to process the information. They seemed completely lost in thought, unresponsive to my words.

Still, I remained silent, allowing them the space to formulate their thoughts.

Knowing them as I did, I understood they weren't merely considering the implications; they were already strategizing, meticulously planning how to leverage this revelation for the future.

Their focus was entirely on what they could do to secure their children's well-being.

Following a prolonged silence, Aisha finally declared, "We shall conceal it."

My eyes involuntarily narrowed at her words, but I held my tongue, recognizing that the situation was undoubtedly more complex than it initially appeared. There was an unspoken depth to her statement that I couldn't quite grasp.

Despite this, a sliver of doubt lingered in my gaze.

After another considerable pause, Aisha reiterated, "We will hide certain aspects before making a public announcement."

This time, Moon offered a nod of agreement to Aisha's proposition.

Witnessing their united front brought a wry smile to my lips. However, this was their plan, concocted independently, without my involvement.

Consequently, I maintained my silence as they deliberated.

Technically, this matter pertained solely to the Elven Kingdom's royal family.

Yet, I could sense that their plan was far from airtight.

There was an undeniable certainty that a period of hardship awaited them as they navigated the complexities of what they intended to hide.

"It is my fault..."

That was the entirety of my internal monologue.

...

When the news eventually broke, considerable shock rippled through the kingdom.

The revelation that Moon's child was a high elf was already astonishing in itself.

Compounding this, the fact that Aisha's child was not a high elf added another layer of bewilderment.

Naturally, the dissemination of this news ignited discussions among the elves of the Elven Kingdom. Many pondered whether some form of alteration had occurred within the Elven Royal Family.

Inevitably, my name, too, became a subject of conversation.

As the husband to both, some individuals directed their blame towards me.

The notion of a human like myself marrying these two and fathering their children naturally led to the assumption that I bore some responsibility for the unfolding circumstances.

Of course, the outcome could have been significantly more detrimental.

The decision they ultimately made was to conceal the fact that Aisha's child appeared human.

They employed illusion spells of the highest caliber to obscure this truth, rendering it undetectable to casual observation. Even other high elves would be deceived unless they undertook a meticulous examination of the child.

This was certainly not a path they would have taken lightly, as it involved crossing a significant boundary.

And so, the situation eventually stabilized.

It was one thing if the child had remained an elf; they were reluctant to stir up trouble while the threat of the forces of Destruction loomed. For the elves, the forces of Destruction presented the more immediate and pressing danger that required their full attention.

To confront this threat, the aid of the racial alliance was essential, with humans forming a substantial component of that alliance. Given my influence, they were compelled to let this matter lie for the time being.

Still, the resolution felt far from satisfactory.

The pervasive concealment felt fundamentally flawed, leaving a lingering sense of unease.

However, for the present moment, it could be argued that this represented the best possible outcome...

With this matter resolved, an semblance of normalcy returned to the Elven Kingdom.

Yet, an almost imperceptible veil now seemed to shroud the entire Elven Royal Family.

Although they presented an unaffected demeanor, it was evident that unspoken concerns occupied their thoughts. It was clear they harbored difficult truths they found hard to accept, yet were powerless to change.

Deep down, I was aware that a few words from me could have resolved this entire predicament. There was information I withheld that would have easily provided a solution.

The difficulty lay in my own reluctance to share it.Even if the desire to share this surged, it was not something easily conveyed. Consequently, silence became the only option. "Everything will be alright once this ordeal concludes." This sentiment wasn't mine alone; everyone harbored the same thought. While these children were still developing, there was precious little we could do for them. Assistance would only be feasible once they had matured.
