Chapter 234 The Egg Problem
Agares had underestimated this girl. When she wanted an answer, she would have to fight for it.
And Sylvara really wanted to know how this man-who alked about genetic isolation all the time-would judge his brother.
“I’m talking about a hypothetical situation, honey. Hypothetical.” Sylvara dangled the black egg in her hand, her sweet voice carrying a hint of complaint. “Just tell me, okay?”
The video didn’t show Agares’s face, only a hand holding a black egg and swinging it. But even so, his ears still turned red. He couldn’t help remembering his subordinates saying his wife was soft and clingy when she acted cute.
“Honey…”
“Don’t act cute!”
Sylvara had no words.
Is he shy?
She pushed harder right away, her voice soft and pitiful “I’m not acting cute, honey. You’re just being mean
to me.”
“I’m not!” Agares’ low voice sounded rough. He quickly switched the video call to a voice call. Afraid she wouldn’t believe him, he added, “I wasn’t mean to you.”
Sylvara blinked. They hadn’t talked for almost two weeks. She finally called him and even showed him the egg, and he switched it to voice?
Voice call?
Is he blushing?
She had been too distracted by his annoyingly perfect face earlier. She didn’t even check if his face was burning.
What a loss.
Her bargain-bin husband was adorable, and she missed his flustered face. A huge loss.
“If you weren’t mean to me, then tell me. If this egg were your brother and sister-in-law think?” Sylvara asked like a stubborn kid who couldn’t move on without an answer.
egg,
what do you
“Honey, just tell me. It’s hypothetical, okay?”
Agares tightened his fingers and let out a rough breath. When he spoke, his voice was steady and serious. “If this were His Majesty’s egg, then it would only prove His Majesty is exceptionally gifted.”
“Pffft!” Sylvara burst out laughing.
What kind of steel-reinforced, concrete-brained straight man as this?
Where did all that talk about genetic isolation go?

But when it came to his brother, suddenly everything became a double standard.
Exceptionally gifted? Seriously?

Hearing her laugh through the voice call, Agares frowned hard, the lines between his brows formed a sharp crease. “Where did you find this egg?” he asked slowly. “I doesn’t match a wyvern egg. It’s bigger than a crow egg. It’s closest to an emu egg, but darker.”
Her bargain-bin husband was sharp. Even after switching to voice, he was still analyzing the egg.
Which meant Blake’s species wasn’t in any official records at all. Probably a hidden, rare, unknown divine- beast type.
Sylvara pinched her thigh hard to stop herself from laughing. She kept her voice light and teasing. “I don’t even know what kind of egg this is. General Kenobia had someone deliver it to me. He said if I hatch it, it’ll summon a divine beast called Agares. Supposedly it’s beautiful, well-behaved, and will warm my bed.”
Agares, the world’s straightest straight man, did not catch the joke. Instead, his mind jumped to his mentor strange sense of humor.
He corrected her in a grave tone. “The empire worships strength. Since the founding of the nation, we have never had guardian beasts. And there is definitely no divine beast called Agares.”
Then he added, still solemn, “He told you it warms the bed, but all beasts, even beastkin who don’t share your species, carry wild instincts and hostility. Don’t be fooled. He probably gave you that egg so you could cook it and eat it.”
A
Sylvara froze for half a second. Then a smile spread across her face. Her teasing flowed out naturally. “You silly thing. The beautiful, loyal, strong guardian beast named Agares-he meant you!”

On the other side of the video call, Agares’ face turned a red as a tomato. His ears turned so red they could bleed. His voice went rough. “S-sorry. I-I still have training. Goodbye!”
He cut the call so fast it seemed like one second later and his little wife would’ve said something even more dangerous.
Sylvara burst into laughter the moment the video ended. She doubled over, shaking, tears streaming down
her face.
How could a man so serious, so iron-hard, be so adorably clueless?
“Commander, what’s wrong? Why is your face so red?” Carlos and Auren hurried over. Their commander’s normally cold, stern face was flushed. They instantly assumed something was wrong with his genes again.
Agares cleared his throat, still red from ears to collar. His eyes slid to Carlos. “Nothing. Did you finish the 200 miles weighted endurance run?”
