Duotu withdrew his gaze, looking lost and dejected. "I heard the Saint Heir and the Holy Consort held a ceremony a few days ago. I... I have never met the Holy Consort. I've brought some modest gifts this time. Might I be permitted to visit her?"
Minos replied, "The Holy Consort is shy around strangers and isn't available to see guests. I'm afraid I'll have to ask for her opinion on the matter."
Duotu fell silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
"...I understand. I'll come visit again when I have time."
Duotu went to the Holy Hall to carefully inquire about how to raise a child. After getting some formula specially made for Angel Clan children and some Spirit Food supplements, he took his child and left the Holy Domain, returning to the Western Continent.
Minos returned to the palace and found Sang Luo resting her head on the table, her chin propped in her hands. She seemed to be thinking about something, or perhaps just zoning out.
