When Morticia heard the question, she remained silent. She was strangely nervous, and her mind was racing.
How could the child share Ambrose's ancestry?
Something unexpected happened to Morticia the next second. Her jumbled mind woke up. Ambrose was Darryl's son, and he shared the same ancestors as the child.
However, telling the truth would be more difficult.
"Tell me!" Archfiend Antigonus lost patience and yelled when he noticed her hesitation.
Morticia's legs gave way as she heard the shout and fell to the ground. "Your Excellency, the child's father is not Ambrose," she said as she gritted her teeth.
"Then whose is it?" Archfiend Antigonus's face was extremely gloomy. He would have killed Morticia with a slap right now if she had not been his beloved subordinate.
Heather's gaze was also drawn to Morticia.
That woman had always refused to acknowledge that Ambrose was her child's father. She would like to see what excuse Morticia could concoct then.
At the same time, Forsythe was a little anxious. He said to Morticia, "Your Majesty, let's talk about it now. Don't hide it anymore." When he spoke, Forsythe secretly sweated for Morticia.
He could tell Archfiend Antigonus would not spare Morticia if she did not tell the truth.
In that situation, Morticia took a deep breath and bit her lip so tightly that they almost bled. Finally, she said quietly, "It's Darryl's..." Then, she collapsed to the ground, nearly exhausted.
She was aware of the consequences of telling the truth, but she was powerless to change the situation.
What?
Archfiend Antigonus, Forsythe, and Heather were taken aback when they heard that.
Archfiend Antigonus' eyes were filled with disbelief and a hint of rage. "What did you say? Who is the child's father?" If the child's father was Ambrose, he could accept the outcome, but if it was Darryl, he could never accept it.
Without Darryl, the fiends would not have been ultimately defeated in the Godly Region. Even Archfiend Antigonus was killed in the end, leaving only a wisp of his soul to enter the continent.
