Lucien had already figured it out.

That fish accelerated the process and had his babies hatch in seconds and helped Emma Rank up along the way.
He had been hiding deep. Very deep.
Upstairs.
A soft scent drifted through the room as Malrik lit the aromatherapy he had just prepared for Emma.
He turned to Edric.
“Looks like your cycle started. Need a hand?”
Edric narrowed his eyes. “What kind of help are you offering?”
They were both males.
Malrik saw the look and gave a crooked smile.
“What do you think I meant?
“I can use my ability to hold it down for a while.
“You’ll feel a lot better.”
What a filthy snake.
Edric looked away, lips pressed together. “Sorry. I didn’t know Enchanters could even do that.”
He hadn’t expected Malrik to help a male therian suppress his cycle.
“Most of them can’t.”
Malrik stepped closer and scanned him from head to toe.
“This one’s mine alone.
“And if it weren’t for Ms. Tibarn, I wouldn’t bother.”
“You’re not doing this for me. You’re doing it for yourself.”
Edric didn’t believe a word of it. “Emma knows how I’ve been feeling. She told me to wait here. That says everything.
“You just don’t want to lose your alone time. That’s why you’re trying to rush me out.”

Chapter 599 Lucien’s Guess
He already understood what Emma meant by asking him to come upstairs.
She wanted to help in another way. That meant Malrik would have less time with her.
And Malrik wouldn’t say no to Emma.
But that didn’t mean he wanted to give up his time.
“Glad you’re not slow.”
Malrik grabbed his wrist. “So let me do it and get you out.
“I’m not spending my time with Ms. Tibarn fighting for attention.”
He had earned that time.
No one was taking it from him.
Edric smiled. “Even if you didn’t help me, I wasn’t staying.”
?
He would never put Emma in that kind of position.
He only agreed to wait because he knew she would worry if he didn’t.
He just planned to say a few words and leave once she returned.
“I’m not as noble as you.”
Malrik said flatly, “When I’m with Ms. Tibarn, she’s mine.
“No one else gets to be around.”
Just as the words left his mouth, Emma stepped in with Lucien beside her.
Malrik didn’t let go of Edric’s wrist. He smiled at her instead.
“Ms. Tibarn, you’re back.”
“What are you two doing?”
Emma looked at their joined hands and frowned.
Malrik let go and explained with a soft tone.
“Edric’s not been feeling great. I’m using my ability to help suppress it.”
Emma already knew about Edric’s condition.
She hadn’t known it could be controlled.
Edric nodded. “Yeah, Emma. Malrik helped. I’m feeling a lot better now.”

Chapter 599 Lucien’s Guess
He knew exactly what Malrik was doing. He wanted her to see it.
If his cycle was stable, she had no reason to keep him close.
Lucien looked at them both and spoke to Emma.
“Get some rest tonight. I’ll bring the babies over tomorrow.”
Then he turned to Malrik.
“She just gave birth. Take good care of her tonight. Edric and I will head out.”
Gave birth?
Malrik and Edric both turned toward Emma in shock.
Emma smiled and pointed at the nest in Lucien’s arms. “Aren’t our little Phoenix babies adorable?”
“That was quick.”
?
They stepped in closer, concern flooding their faces.
“Emma, are you sure you’re okay?” Edric asked.
Malrik leaned in too. He could sense the change in her aura.
Kieran’s presence lingered faintly on her.
Had he bonded with her?
It didn’t feel like a regular bond.
Maybe the Merfolk had some kind of special bond ritual.
Could that have triggered labor?
And did it harm her?
“Ms. Tibarn, did you-”
“I’m fine.”
Emma quickly explained what had happened with Kieray.
“I need rest. You both should go get some too.”
She reached out and touched Edric’s hand.
His temperature was normal again. That put her at ease.
“Get some rest, Emma. I’ll check in tomorrow.”

Once he was sure she was alright, Edric left with Lucien.
As they stepped off the floating elevator, Edric glanced over.
“Is Kieran-”
Lucien cut in, “When you hit Rank 11, I’ll tell you.
“For now, let him stay hidden.
“Just remember this–he won’t hurt Emma.”
The living room.

Corvin and Calum were in a conversation when Lucien and Edric came out of the elevator. Corvin noticed the nest Lucien was cradling.
