The Conquerors Path

Chapter 359 - Children?

”Grgh...”

A grunt was heard as Austin suddenly opened his eyes, his body lay on a soft mattress that made his wish to just take in it and sleep more but he quickly shook off his head to get his focus back, as his eyes finally regained their full sight, the first thing he came to his view was an unfamiliar ceiling, seeing so he chuckled, remembering the first time that he had opened his eyes to this world,

ʼLooks like itʼs going to start soonʼ

Thinking so Austin used his hand to sit up straight, his hand hitting a body beside him, which to groaned back,

”Ehh....”

Hearing so he turned to the right where Catherine lay beside him, both of them has their clothes on, as they seemed to be asleep in the master bedroom, knowing what was about to begin Austin took deep breaths to calm his heart before which he rushed to Catherine with a bewildered gaze as he started to rock her body awake,

”Urgh~5 more minutes~”

Catherine naturally replied, almost causing Austin to get out of his act but he held himself in as he shook her awake harder, finally Catherine opened her eyes, those beautiful blue eyes looking vast, first they seemed to be in a daze before which clarity started to appear in them,

”Austin....?”

”Wake, up I feel some presence”

Hearing his words Catherineʼs eyes opened wide as she started to sit up, the first thing she did was to look at her body, checking if everything was okay, seeing so Austin couldnʼt help but respond,

”Hey, we are still clothed! just what could have happened?”

Hearing his reply Catherine gave out a snort as she replied,

”Humph! just checking to be sure”

”You-”

Austinʼs reply was cut short as the door suddenly burst open, seeing so a sword appeared in Austinʼs hand while Catherine turned more focus but the ʼenemiesʼ that came from the door were beyond what Austin and Catherine could believe, further chaos was made as the ʼenemiesʼ called out,

”Daddy!”

”Mommy!”

The two were so shocked that they werenʼt able to realize anything before which the two children were already jumping on the bed toward them,

”Daddy, what weapon is this?”

A child of 8 asked, she was a girl with maroon colored hair and sprouting purple eyes, both the features of Austin and Catherine present in her, while the second child too was a girl, of 8 both of them being twins but the second girl has silver hair and beautiful blue eyes, both the girls being the epitome of cuteness,

”Uh?”

That was all that came out of Catherineʼs mouth as the girl with the silver hair jumped onto Catherine as she started to speak in an excited voice,

”Mommy, spin me around!”

The little girl kept pulling about as Catherine looked at the little child, the girls blue eyes reflecting her own, for a moment she even felt a deep maternal instinct as she gazed at the little girl, feeling a need to protect this little girl who was calling her mother,

”Hey, itʼs dangerous!”

Austin suddenly called out as the maroon-colored little girl was trying to touch the sword in Austinʼs hand, seeing so the sword suddenly disappeared from his hand causing the both the girlʼs eyes to widen,

”Magic!”

Saying so the two girls jumped on towards their father as they started to beg,

”Show us more magic!”

The two girls synchronized voices sounded out,

”What is happening?”

Austin asked out as he lay on the bed with two little girls above him, his face moved to Catherine who was looking at him with the same gaze of astonishment but it only grow as suddenly the cry of a baby was heard across the room,

”Oh, no! looks like little sis woke up!”

Once again the two girls replied at the same time as they sprinted out of the room, leaving the two of them utterly confused, though they didnʼt stay like that for long as they too ran behind the little girls, going downstairs as they watched the girls run into the baby room they had visited, the only difference this time is that there was an actual baby in the room,

”Are we in an illusion?”

Catherine asked as she saw the little kids leaning into the crib where a small babies cry was being heard,

”Impossible, letʼs just say that I have something that makes illusions useless”

Austin replied,

”Then how do you explain that”

She asked as she pointed at the kids who definitely looked like the two of them,

”I donʼt know...”

That was all Austin could say as he looked at the little girls, among which the marron girl suddenly looked towards Catherine a she called out,

”Mommy! come quick it looks like little sis needs milk!”

”Milk?”

Catherine asked back stunned, to this Austinʼs eyes traveled toward those modest yet firm-looking breasts,

”Where are you looking at?!”

Catherine barked back, seeing his questioning gaze, while a blush took her face,

”Caugh....nothing, just curious”

”Curious?”

She asked back in a threatening tone,

”Nothing~”

Austin said as he walked to the crib where a beautiful baby girl lay, her eyes seemed to be a mixture between purple and blue, while on her head spotted some maroon-colored hair, the baby looked to be off 1 as she lay there crying but just as Austin towered over her, the cries stopped as her little hands moved towards him.

Seeing so Austin smiled as he took her to his embrace, her little hands quickly playing with his face, seeing this a truly happy smile came to his face, and it was then that he felt his body shake, he looked from the baby to the girlʼs that was looking at him, a sudden realization hitting him,

ʼIt seems I fucked up.....ʼ

Austin thought as his expression turned fierce, he knew what end lay to this trial, and he believed that he wouldnʼt be too affected, since he knew what this actually was but now holding this baby in his arms, while looking at the girls quickly brought him to reality, making him understand that the plan he made would kill Catherine on the inside and maybe even him.....

ʼTo think I will make such a mistakeʼ

Angered burned deep in his eyes as he thought so,

”Daddy are you okay?”

Both the girls came up to him and pulled his legs in worry as they asked, this suddenly brought him out of his thoughts, holding back his true feelings he smiled at them as he held the baby in one arm and used his other to pat the two little girls,

”Itʼs nothing, I was just lost in my thought”

Saying so Austin started to leave the room,

”Where are you going?”

Catherine asked,

”To the kitchen, the baby is hungry”

And under Catherineʼs surprised eyes he started to walk to the kitchen, entering inside Austin went to the cooler, where he spotted several packets of fresh-looking milk that didnʼt exist yesterday,

”Catherine, can you hold her?”

Austin requested as she stood beside him, nodding her head she took the baby from Austinʼs hand, her eyes lighting up as she looked at the baby that suddenly smiled as she looked at her, Catherineʼs heart felt like it would melt as she saw those pure soulful eyes, those innocent baby laugh as the baby reached out towards her.

Meanwhile, Austin was moving about as he prepared some healthy milk for the child, even though his expression was serene on the inside it was screaming, if were to change his plan now everything would be a mess, the desire between winning over the girls and protecting came over his mind,

”Looks like she wants you”

Suddenly Catherine said with a jealous voice, hearing so he turned to the baby that was reaching its arms towards him, even though she was in Catherineʼs hands, just seeing this dashed all the plans from Austinʼs mind,

ʼWhy am I hesitating? I will do both!ʼ

A ruthless glint lit in his eyes.
