Titan King: Ascension of the Giant-Chapter 460: I’m going to have this child
Human Kingdom, Rose Manor.
This manor belongs to the Rose Knight Regiment. It was named for the surrounding fields of roses.
At this moment, Princess Ava is standing atop the manor castle's watchtower, gazing into the distance at the swathes of blooming roses.
Ava caresses her stomach, momentarily lost in thought.
She is pregnant!
If Ava used to suspect this possibility, now the slight rounding of her belly has torn away any illusions she harbored.
This child carries the blood of the Giant King!
Ava's thoughts are in disarray. She doesn't know what to do.
A princess of the kingdom, bearing the blood of a giant—this would be a major scandal for the royal family.
Fortunately, the information has long been sealed off. Those who needed to keep quiet have done so. Those who needed to disappear are gone.
Just as Ava stared blankly toward the western horizon, a squadron of Royal Griffins flew in from outside Rose Manor.
Leading them was a griffin whose rider, standing on its back, turned out to be Prince Theodore.
Moments later, Prince Theodore landed at Rose Manor and made his way to Princess Ava.
"Aunt!"
Prince Theodore softly called out to Princess Ava and let out a gentle sigh.
He was still too late!
If he had received the intelligence sooner and gone to Stoneheart City earlier to bring his aunt back, perhaps Ava would not be in this predicament. She might not be pregnant.
"What is your father's attitude about this?"
Princess Ava turned, looking at Prince Theodore, her eyes revealing worry and a faint hint of hope.
"My father says he fully respects your wishes!"
"My father asked me to pass along a message: any choice carries pressure and responsibility, so once you choose, don't regret it."
Princess Ava stayed silent. In her mind, she pictured her brother, a brother she could trust.
"I understand. I'm going to have this child. No matter what, he carries the bloodline of the Leofric family."
Princess Ava's full name was Ava Leofric—the surname Leofric belonging to the royal house of the human kingdom.
As a princess of the Human Kingdom, Ava was clever. She gathered the meaning behind her nephew Prince Theodore's tactful words:
The child growing inside her is the Giant King's offspring. Whether Orion acknowledges this or not, it's a fact that can never be erased.
With this child as a link, the Leofric family might develop stronger trade relations with the giants in the future. Perhaps they might even form a military alliance with the Stoneheart Horde. Whatever path they choose, it holds great promise.
Thus, although the child in Princess Ava's womb has not yet been born, his fate is already decided.
"Aunt, this might be the best choice."
After a long silence, Prince Theodore finally spoke in a gentle tone.
As a younger member of the royal family, Prince Theodore had no right to interfere in Princess Ava's affairs, especially with the old king still on the throne.
However, afraid that his aunt Ava might act rashly, Prince Theodore thought it over and decided to offer a few words of advice.
"For you, Aunt, this is your child and your hope.
"For the kingdom, he will bear part of the burden of peace."
"As for the Giant King, he will have a descendant—"
"And everyone knows that for a Legendary-level powerhouse, begetting a child is exceedingly difficult."
This final point was precisely what the high-ranking members of the kingdom had in mind.
According to the information the Human Kingdom had obtained, that Giant King in the west did not yet have an heir. This gave the kingdom's upper nobility boundless possibilities to imagine.
Princess Ava said nothing. She gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
In Ava's pupils, an image gradually surfaced: the Giant King's towering body, his big and hard cock, their rough sex, and his incomparably overwhelming strength.
…
Valkorath Realm, Cryptopolis.
In the underground nest Soraya had prepared, Orion repeatedly thrust his cock into Soraya's vagina. The sound of flesh slapping together filled the air.
Amid Soraya's alluring moans, they reached climax at the same time. Soraya's body went taut, the intense surge of pleasure pulling her fully into its grip. Her breathing turned ragged.
"From this moment on, stop the task of hatching small scorpions."
Once Soraya's breathing had steadied, Orion uttered these words.
Covered in sweat and utterly exhausted, Soraya opened her eyes, trying to lift her head to look at Orion.
Yet she was too drained. All she could do was nudge Orion's cock with her thigh, signaling for him to continue—she was listening.

"Take this. When you advance to Legendary level, use the rest of the life essence entirely for hatching the little scorpions."
A ring appeared in Orion's hand, and he slid it onto Soraya's finger.
Soraya was confused. She slowly raised her hand, examining it closely.
"Honey, is this a gift for me? It's such a beautiful ring!"
Orion nodded. Seeing Soraya hadn't grasped the deeper meaning, he reminded her, "It's a storage ring."
This was not just any ordinary storage ring. Inside, it was filled with various levels of life essence sent by Arthas's subordinates.
However, even after Orion finished speaking, Soraya stayed silent for three full minutes, saying nothing.
Without lowering his head, Orion could imagine the speechless look of astonishment on Soraya's face.
"Compared to the enemies we're about to face, this amount of life essence isn't that significant," Orion said, bringing Soraya back from her shock.
"My dear Orion, please tell me I'm not dreaming."
Smack! Smack!
Orion extended his hand and firmly slapped Soraya's shapely buttocks.
A burst of intense pain shot through her. Soraya touched her reddened backside, then glanced at the ring on her hand.
"All of this is for me?"
Soraya lifted her head, seeking confirmation from Orion once more.
Orion nodded, continuing to look at Soraya.
Arthas had provided these life essences with the sole intention of having Soraya produce a large number of small scorpions.
Living scorpions would be a tremendous help, and dead scorpions would also be a significant force in battle.
The brutal battlefields ahead would lead to the deaths of many small scorpions.
It wouldn't just be a small number, but a staggering figure. For a Broodmother of her species, that magnitude of sacrifice was something truly terrifying.
Then Orion produced a white bone box.
"Inside this is a Legendary-level life essence. It will make your advancement to Legendary level easier."
"From now on, focus on your training. If you haven't reached Legendary level, you're not to leave this nest."
When he finished speaking, Orion got dressed, leaned down to kiss Soraya, then turned and left the nest.
As for Soraya, she stared blankly at the white bone box in her hands, but her heart was racing faster and faster.
No one knew how much time passed before a cry of delight echoed through the underground nest.
"Wow! This is so amazing—I'm about to reach Legendary level!"
