"Master, will a situation worse than the last battle really happen?" Tiona asked.
"Yes," Thirteen replied. "And frankly, I don't have the time to create a massive magical formation to turn the tides in our favor."
Stella wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Her action didn't escape Thirteen's gaze, so he pulled the young lady close to him and kissed her forehead.
"I know what you're thinking, but we shouldn't do it," Thirteen shook his head. "However, Stella, this isn't your homeworld. Things will get really dangerous soon, so maybe you should go back and raise our baby in Hestia in peace?"
"Huh?!" Stella shuddered before placing a hand on her abdomen. She then looked at Zion in disbelief.
"I was just joking." Thirteen smirked. "You take things too seriously, Stella."
"Y-You meanie!" Stella pouted and pushed the young man away, which made Tiona shake her head helplessly.
Thirteen held the hand of the pouting young lady before looking straight at her eyes.
