"eating magical beasts meat, drinking it's blood and absorbing it's core" these words kept repeating inside Eve's mind.
Though she eats meat at times, it's not an elf's habit to eat meat on an every single meal basis. The queen, is perplexed, this sudden change in diet will surely change her lifestyle.
The queen sighed, while Elizabeth and Rose, looked at the two men with questioning gaze.
BugR cleared his throat, "magical beast meat, blood and core contains massive amoubt of energy compared to the spiritual food that we usually eat, such as fruits and vegetables..."
"The meat can nourish the body and while the blood strengthens the vitality and the core improves the mana." he continued
"We know the reason for your worry my ladies, doing it daily might trigger our race deepest secret the evolution to a vampiric elf..."
"The queen might transform and never return to her normal self, she might also have a personality change and be a bloodthirsty being not able to distinguish friends and family from foe."
"These records are true and proven, since the first mother of the first king of the empire used this same method to nurture her child."
"It's your choice my queen," BugR said
Eve was contemplating and recalling all of the things the fat librarian said. She strengthened her resolve and decided, "for my child, even if I turn into a bloodthirsty beast I wouldn't even bat an eye"
...
"for my child, even if I turn into a bloodthirsty beast I wouldn't even bat an eye"
When Lucifer suddenly heard his mothers thoughts, he knew that she might be doing something very dangerous.
He felt worried that his mother might have her life be endangered.
He used his skill blood rulers might to synchronize with his mother. Everything his mother see, smell, hear, taste, feel, and think he could experience as well. Using this skill as the target, his mother is unaware of his presence.
Though Lucifer is itching to try this overpowered skill, he doesn't want to test it with his mother. However, in this special event where his mother is resolved to do something dangerous that might endanger her life he didn't think twice and decided to see for himself.
The room is brightly lit, two men and women are surrounding his mother, he could guess who the women are, since his mother Eve would always describe her grandmothers. The life elf grand elder, his paternal grandmother Elizabeth and the fire elf grand elder Rose, his maternal grandmother.
He tried to fish for information so he asked his mother queen, "mother what's wrong?"
Eve felt a sudden pang in her heart, she could feel her child's worried tone. She then retold Lucifer everything the librarian told them.
"Honey, you might not understand much about this but I know you would understand mothers decision.
In order for you to grow strong and healthy the empires doctor and researcher/librarian look for alternatives to provide the best nutrition for the both of us"
"And the process is by eating magical beast meat, blood and core, since it contains massive amount of energy compared to the spiritual food that we usually eat, such as fruits and vegetables..."
"The meat can nourish the body and while the blood strengthens the vitality and the core improves the mana."
"However elves who constantly feed on meat could evolve into a vampiric elf... transforming and never return to normal. The process might change my personality and be a bloodthirsty being not able to distinguish friends and family from foe."
"These records are from the first mother of the first king of the empire, she used this same method to nurture her child."
Lucifer is analyzing the problem, it's the same as his first ever transformation to a fallen, in his first life. He became a vampire, a beast who devours flesh and blood, not able to distinguish friend from foe.
However for his mother to make this decision he knew and felt how much she loves him. He doesn't want his sweet, kind and loving mother to change to a bloodthirsty, and destructive creature.
Lucifer is now excited, with this method his mother is safe.
He breathed a sigh of relief with the systems assurance, he'd rather be inflicted with the vampiric evolution since he's a vampire before and had an experience of being one.
"Mother thank you"
When Eve heard his voice, she felt her tears fall from her eyes. She resolved herself to consume magic beasts meat, blood and core.

…
Elizabeth, pondered on BugR's words, her disciple's life and well being as well as her unborn grandchild's future depends in this decision. She knew that even if the whole continent's bandit groups are raided and looted of their resources it's not enough to satisfy the child's demand.
Rose is thinking the same, she knew that it's very hard to weigh the risk and benefits. Her daughter's safety is important but her grandchild's safety is important as well. She is now having a hard time choosing.
Elizabeth ordered the guards to inform the 3 men to return.
...
Lucifer devoured over time, he swallowed and swallowed like his life depend on it.
The empire has a lot of stored resources thus while waiting for her husband, father, and, father in law to return, Eve did her best to consume and absorb heavenly resources to support her child.
Two months passed by fast enough that they didn't even notice that the three men and their soldiers returned from their raiding trip.
From the borders of the empire, cheers of the happy elven empire citizens is heard. The lineup of eleven warriors marched with great discipline as they entered the border of the empire.
The ground trembled as the soldiers marched in a very well-disciplined and organized manner. It has been 3 months since the men went on their expedition, to wipe clean, ninety percent of the continent's bandit and criminal liars.
