Reaper slowly opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, he found himself in a very beautiful room. He was laying down in the arms of women. This woman has crimson eyes and crimson hair. Reaper has never seen such a beautiful woman in his whole life. She was such a beauty that could intoxicate any person. She was warmly smiling while seeing Reaper. Reaper got the idea that it must be his mother.
There was also another middle-aged woman in the room. She was smiling and standing there quietly. Reaper thought she must be his nurse or his mother's servant. The door of the room suddenly opened and 2 people entered in the room.
One of them was wearing black clothes and Reaper guessed he must be the butler of this family. The other person was a young man who gives very Royal vibes. The middle-aged women walked toward them and started talking to the young man and Reaper was not able to hear them.
Women spoke with a smile: "Congratulations Duke Austin, Lady Ember has given birth to a beautiful and healthy child".
Austin smiled: "Thanks for your help Miss Grace, I am greatly indebted to you".
Grace smiled: "What is there to be Indebted in this,
I am just doing my job for which I have been paid for. So as my work has been done so our contract has been fulfilled. So as our agreement has been fulfilled, please end the soul contract".
"Yes, sure Miss Grace". After saying this Austin takes out a piece of paper that has some strange writing on it.
"In the name of God of contracts, I hereby declare that our contract has been fulfilled, so I nullify this contract".Said Austin, after he finished speaking the piece of paper started burning and turned into dust.
Miss Grace was a light mage who is specialized in healing magic. She was responsible for the birth of children from Royal and High-Rank noble families in the Griffin Empire.
The women of Genesis world are different from the women of Earth because of the Existence of supernatural powers they also have very strong bodies with different types of powers. So childbirth for them is not painful as compared to women of Earth.
But it created another problem here. During childbirth, it happens many times they lose control over their powers and the sudden explosion of their powers can harm and even kill children during their birth, especially in the case of destructive elements like fire and Lightning magic.
So, to protect the child during birth mothers seal their powers in their bodies and become like normal mortal women and a healer is necessary to maintain their health condition and to take care of childbirth, but this method also created another problem which was Assassination attempts.
Some powerful women in history were killed during childbirth when their powers were sealed. Some Healers who were spies from another nation or enemy family killed them. To keep these women safe a Mage thought of a plan and created a magic called contract magic.
According to this magic, both parties sign a contract on special contract papers by taking the oath on the price of their soul, they can put different conditions in this contract what ever they want, and if any party broke their oath and if their soul is weak they will die on the support but if their soul is strong even then they will suffer a huge backlash and drop in power realms and their foundation will crumble. This magic was started for the benefit of women but later, people started using this magic in various fields and later it also gave birth to a powerful Slaves system and the Mage who started this contract magic, now became a high-level god known as the God of Contract and Promises.
In the contract between Grace and Austin, Grace promised that she has no ill intentions toward Austin's wife and will not even think of trying to harm his wife or child in any way, and Austin promised to double pay Grace for signing the contract and he will nullify this contract when her work will be done.
Well not everyone uses this method during childbirth because this piece of the contract is very costly and they also have to pay healers double the amount if they want to sign the contract, but those people who have enough wealth and don't want to take the slightest risk they always use this method doesn't matter how much trust they have in healers and many healers don't care about signing a contract if they got double money so this is a win-win situation for both parties.
Even after signing a contract, they don't let down their guard, and continuously scan the room of childbirth with their powerful senses.
After their contract was nullified, Austin gave her a pouch full of gold Coins.
After receiving her payment Grace smiled: "Tnx again Duke Austin, I hope your child will be brilliant like you and become a shining star of our empire". After saying that she left the room.
Austin started walking toward his wife and child.
"Are you okay dear"?asked Austin with a face full of worry.
"Yes,".his wife gave a dry reply.
Here Reaper was surprised because he can understand their language. He watched his father's face and found him quite handsome. So I have both Good looking father and mother and as I have inherited their genes I will be quite handsome in the future.
"Cough, cough; Master Austin I know that you are very much concerned about madam's health but you should also greet your newborn son". said, butler James.
After getting the reminder he noticed his newborn son who was laying in the arms of his wife. This newborn child has silver hair and crimson eyes. He has inherent both features of his father and mother.
"Well, he is quite handsome because he has my genes, so you should be the proud little guy you inherited the most superior genes in the world which are my genes but Even then I don't quite like you because you have given my precious wife quite hard time and pain". Said Austin in an arrogant tone with smug on his face.
Reaper's face was twitched. what the fuck wrong is with this bastard, is anyone talk like this to his newborn child? why is he so arrogant? His handsome face now looks like quite a punch-able face to me. If I had my previous strength then I should have been punched his face, well it's not like I can't do anything, hehehehe.
Reaper moved his little dragon in front of Austin's face and shot a water cannon on his face.
"What the fuck, you peed on me. You little shi" Before Austin can complete his words a punch hit his face and he was thrown into a wall of room.
Reaper was stunned by the sudden development of events. When he sees up he sees a Fist covered in a red aura which was of his mother.
"You, narcissistic bastard, say one more word to my child and I will cut your scissor-like tongue and strangle you with it. I will crush your skull and make it into a cup in which my child will pee. I am tolerating your nonsense because I am happy about my child's birth, but you are ruining my precious moments with your snake-like tongue". Said Ember in an angry tone.
Fuck, did I get a Mama Bear, Though reaper.
James shook his head and thought in his mind. well, it's true that Master Austin is one of the strongest men in the empire but Madam Ember is the strongest woman in the Empire. She is also known as Crimson Witch or Mad Witch on the battlefield. She is a rare battle mage. Mages who use magic have weak bodies but Battle mages are those people who while using magic they also use their bodies to battle. Becoming a battle mage is a tremendous task that needs 3 to 4 times hard work compared to other professions. So very few people pursue this path and most of them who follow this path always live their life in mediocrity. So there are very few people reached at peak while pursuing this path and Ember's crimson is one of those terrifying genius battle mages. She has reached the peak of her life only at the age of 19 and is just one step below from becoming a Demigod. Demigod is the peak level power in the world of Genesis.
The story of Master Austin and Madam Ember started when they were studying in the academy. During that time Master Austin was even more arrogant than now. He has powerful background, a handsome face, and great talent. All girls in the academy fawn over him and want to become his girlfriend but only Ember Crimson is the one who never showed any interest in him. Well, it is human nature to run behind those things which we found hard to get, then to be grateful for the things that we have.
So Master Austin wants to conquer Madam Ember's heart so, he challenges her to a duel to show his dominance and superiority. Well, what happened after that lived a shadow in Austin's heart, he was beaten black and blue by Ember.
After that incident, he becomes obsessed with Ember and starts training crazily to win over her. Well, when you are crazy in love it can break you or it can make you. In Austin's case, his crazy pursuit of love makes him into one of the most powerful people in the Empire at a young age. Even then he was never able to win in a fight with Lady Ember but his crazy pursuit won over her heart. She also wants to marry someone who deeply loves her instead of marrying an unknown person because of any political situation.
She agrees to Marry Austin but another problem arose at that time. The current Emperor who was the Crown prince at that time wanted to marry her to another nation to strengthen their political ties and said he will marry their other sister to Austin and she has to marry in another nation.
Ember refused to become a political tool and said she only wants to marry Austin but the crown prince threatened her and she lost control over her temper and beaten the crown prince half dead. The Crown Prince would have been dead if the previous Emperor, didn't interfere and stooped her rampage. Only a few people know about this incident and to save the crown prince reputation, Emperor said that Crown Prince was injured during an assassination attempt by an enemy nation. Even now when the crown prince becomes Emperor, he is afraid to meet his sister and even avoids her at social gatherings.
Even after their marriage, Austin's arrogant nature and Ember's violent temper did not change. Austin gets so much beating from his wife that he manipulated his mind thinking that his wife is a very innocent and fragile woman who needs his protection, when in reality it is the opposite. Only when he is beaten down, then he come back to his senses and accept reality but when he doesn't get any beating for some time he starts leaving in his
delusions again. I even started to feel like Master has become a masochistic person and I only hope his this trait will not pass on to the newly born young master.
Back to present
"Cough, cough young miss it seems like the Master has fainted because of your punch, so will take Master to his room for a checkup and very much congratulations madam". Said James while bowing deeply.
"Thanks, James and take this bastard fast away from my sight, and don't let me see his face today or I will kill him".said Ember.
"Yes, madam". After saying that James picked Austin up in his arms and left the room.
"Oh shit, did I just use too much force? Why did this bastard always behave like this and make me angry? I only hope it is not very serious, I don't want to make my child fatherless". Muttered Ember while pouting her face.
Reaper's face twitched after hearing this. Did I not only get a Mama Bear but also got Tsundere Mama Bear?
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a voice in his head.
[Ding]
Reaper smiled and said in his mind: "Welcome System"!
