Agatha fell to the floor, shortly after Alika and Devan left the house. His body was limp and powerless. Facing all of Alika's questions, she has to make tough decisions.
Either what he said was for Alika's sake, or it was all from his subconscious. Does he still hope for Devan's love? Was that what he was feeling right now, or was this all just a dream?
Agatha also felt ashamed of herself, "Why did I say that? Why did I let Alika call him Daddy?"
He even made a table as an outlet for his anger for being stupid in front of his daughter. In fact, he didn't really mean to ask Alika to call Devan Dad. However, why did the word have to leave his lips?
"You idiot! Why does this kind of problem have to come now?"
Agatha cursed herself for saying stupid things that she didn't really need to do just to make Alika happy. Right now all he should be thinking about is how can he protect Alika from the snares of Orion and his followers?
He certainly still remembers what Zeus said about Orion's arrival on this planet. Although it is not certain when it happened. However, some of Orion's followers are already on this planet.
Could God have predestined this? Agatha lifted her head, looking up at the ceiling. "Father! Why do I have to be reunited with him? Fate really plays with my feelings, Father. How can my daughter, your granddaughter, call Devan, whom you clearly hate, as Daddy?"
Agatha couldn't even control the clear crystal that was trying to break through her defense. "Father! If I didn't leave Planet Airraksa, maybe I wouldn't meet Devan again," he regretted with clear crystals that had already wetted his cheeks.
There was a feeling of regret that held high in his heart. Thinking back on how she had to leave Arthur there, alone with her husband's injured state?
Agatha's memories are brought back to the incident, on the last night she was with Arthur. It was a really tough day. Not only hurting her heart, but also Arthur and maybe Alika who was still in her womb.

Flash back
"Enough, don't touch me, Arthur! You are no longer worthy of being called the father of this child. For hundreds of years we have been waiting for his presence, and now… you are 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!''
"This is all for the sake of saving his life. I am doing this solely to protect our child and this Kingdom! Really, I have no intention of killing 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 to understand, Agatha!''
"There is nothing to understand! You are only blinded by power. A father would not think of killing his child, just for the sake of his pleasure!"
"Jeez, how many times have I told you! I have absolutely no intention of killing our child just for the sake of power. I made this decision solely to protect the Aqua People from Orion's cruelty. Please understand..."
"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 chaotic… Please understand the situation now, Agatha.''
"Try to understand, Agatha. At this time hundreds of thousands of troops led directly by King Orion, began to move against our Nation. The only goal is to seize the Immortality that is in our son. I don't want him to die at the hands of Orion, and Immortality fall to him. Do you want Planet Water 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….''
"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!"
Agatha insisted on taking care of the baby in her womb. He didn't care, and chose to ignore all of Arthur's words. For him, the baby is very precious and there is no happiness that he can receive other than holding a child.
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."
The threat in fact did not make Agatha afraid. On the other hand, she wanted to keep the baby even more, no matter what.
Arthur tried to get closer. However, at that moment Agatha raised her hand. "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 to you!"
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 to her.
"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.
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.
Arthur could no longer contain his emotions and neither could Agatha. He had no intention of defending his hand house with Arthur.
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..."
