Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 270: Make your Choice

With the desperation of the third queen to keep her son, she decided to listen to the imperial doctor’s suggestions not knowing that because of this she would become a being that is not fully human and regret it for life.

Sneaking out of the palace without anyone knowing and went to the said ruined temple from the words of the old doctor and offered a prayer for blessing. The ruined temple was not a nice place. Half of it was broken down from above, a quarter of it buried in sand.

Not only did it look creepy, it also felt dangerous. Seeing the ugly scenery before her, the third queen almost backed out. But before she could give up, the old doctor unexpectedly appeared behind her.

The third queen questioned, "Duktur hal hadha hu almakan haqaa? la yabdu mithl almaebad ealaa al’iitlaqi. ’anzur ’iilayhi. Lays laha hataa saqf wajuz’ minha madfun fi alrimal. hadha almakan kuluh fi khatar alainhiar."

Translation: [Doctor, is this truly the place? It doesn’t look like a temple at all. Look at it. It doesn’t even have a roof and part of it was buried in sand. This whole place is in danger of collapsing.]

The old doctor whose lifeless eyes cannot be seen under the dimmed light and dark area responded,

"La tunzar ’ilayha. bimujarad dukhulik ’iilaa al dakhil sataerif madaa aikhtilaf shaklih min al dakhil. la taqil li ’anak turid alaistislam alan. wade al’amir althaalith lays jydan. min al mumkin ’an tusabi bial’s ijhad fi ’ayi waqta, wasayakun al’amr ’akthar khuturatan eindama yaktamil takwinuhu. qad la yatamakan jismuk aldaeif min alaihtifaz bih."

Translation: [Don’t look down on it. Once you enter inside you will know how different it looks from the inside. Don’t tell me you want to give up now. The situation of the Third Prince is not good. You can get a miscarriage anytime and it would even be more dangerous once he is completely formed. Your weak body might not be able to keep it.]

The third queen questioned, "Hal hadha almaebad hqan bihadha alsihr walmubarakati? thuma kayf la ’ahad yaerif ean dhalika?"

Translation: [Is this temple truly that magical and blessed? Then how come no one knows about it?]

The old doctor answered, "Hadha almakan almubarak bialtabe kan mkhfyan jydan. tahtaju. al’iihalat litakun qadiratan ealaa alaindimami. lawla al halat alkhatirat lil’amir althaalith lima ’ukhbirak hadha alrajul aleajuz ean hadha almakani."

Translation: [Such a blessed place of course it was hidden well. You need it. Referral to be able to join. If not for the dangerous state of the third prince this old man wouldn’t have told you about this place.]

"’Iidha lam yadkhul sahib alsumu, yurjaa aleawdat ’iilaa alqasr. ’ana ’ataqadam wa uqdam salawati. ’iidha ghayart rayak faqat adhhab lildaakhil. al tariq hu tariq wahid faqat. ’arju almaedhirata."

Translation: [If Your Highness is not going in, please return to the palace. I am going ahead and giving my prayers. If you change your mind just go ahead inside. The road is only one way. Please excuse me.]

The old doctor went inside the ruined palace under the eyes of the third queen. She was still hesitating regardless of seeing the old doctor go inside. She looks down on her tummy and gently rubs her slightly bulging fetus.

Biting her lower lips, the third queen finally took a step forward towards the ruined temple. Not knowing that something was watching him from the ruined temple delighted at her entrance to its territory.

---

Back to reality...

The third queen told everyone what happened to her before she had given birth to the third prince.

She continues to speak of her past. "Baed dukhul hadha al maebad almudamiri, yumkin aistikhdam daraj tawil yatajih lil asfal mae eadad qalil min al’adwa’ almuealaqat ealaa alhayit li’iida’at altariq bi’akmalihi."

Translation: [After entering that ruined temple, a long stairway heading down with only a few lights attached to the wall can be used to illuminate the whole route.]

The third queen continues to share her experience, "Baed alwusul ’iilaa nihayat aldiraju, tama aleuthur ealaa shay’ dayiriin dakhm mithl shay’ aleishi fi ghurfat kabirat wafawqaha kan hunak thuqb dayiriun yaerid sama’ almasa’ bialnujum walqumri. laqad kan mshhdan ghryban walakinah rayieun."

[After reaching the end of the stairs, a huge round thing like the nested object was found in a huge room, and above was a round hole exposing the evening sky with stars and moon. It was such a strange yet gorgeous sight.]

"Wamae dhalika, ma hadath baed dhalik kan raeaba. takhayal ’anak turaa jsman fdyan mtwhjan yalmae taht daw’ alqamar wayataharak mithl madat tiniat kabiratin. wakanat euyunuha mutawahijatan mae alzili al’azraqa. laqad ’umsikat bi wakhyraan ’asbahat tilk allaylat ’aswa kabus li. laqad kan al’amr mwlman lilghayat wmthyran lilaishmizaz wmrhqan. la ’aerif madha hadath tawal allayl waistayqazt fi alyawm altaali warajaeat ’iilaa alqasr."

Translation: [However, what happened afterward was a horror. Imagine seeing a glowing silver-like object that glitters under the moonlight and is moving like a big slime. Its eyes were glowing with azure shade. It grabbed me and finally, that night became my worst nightmare. It was extremely painful, disgusting, and exhausting. I don’t know what happened the whole night and I woke up the next day and I am back at the palace.]

The third prince asked, "Hal baed dhalik alyawm bada’at tasmae shyyan yatahadath ’iilayk? alsaytarat ealaa jismiki?"

Translation: [Is it after that day, that you started hearing something talking to you? Controlling your body?]

The third queen nods her head and then moans. The pain of her incomplete soul was actually too much to bear for a human being. It was because of her strong will that she was even able to speak like this despite the pain.

Arg~

Yue Xuexia noticed her state and approached her. She then asked, "Hal turid miniy ’an ’akhtim lak al’alma?"

Translation: [Do you wish for me to seal your pain?]

Unexpectedly, the third queen shook her head and said, "La, hadha al’alam yamnaeni min alnuwm. ’iidha namt ’akhaf ’an yudhi aibni ma bidakhili. talama ’ana mustayqizun, hataa eindama hawalat ’iieaqatan kal, fa’iinaha lan takun qadiratan ealaa alsaytarat ealayh mithl alakhrin."

Translation: [No. This pain keeps me from falling asleep. If I fall asleep I am terrified that whatever is inside me will harm my son. As long as I am awake, even when she tried to parasitize my Khal, she will never be able to control him like the others.]

Upon hearing this, Prince Khalid’s whole body trembles as he wants to cry again. But his mother’s dull eyes yet smiling face made him hold it back.

He even heard her saying, "La tabki ya khali. laqad samadt hataa ’asbahat balghan. mae tawafuqik mae ’akhik al’akbaru, lam yakun ladaya ma yadeu lilqalaq kthyran hataa law rahalat."

Translation: [Don’t cry, my Khal. I held on until you became an adult. With you getting along with your elder brother, I had nothing to worry about even if I am gone.]

In her words, her son could no longer hold back his tears and hug her. The third prince can obviously feel that his mother is saying her last words to her son.

Yue Xuexia was watching the scene of the mother and son in front of her. Even though her face was cold and the depth of her eyes were emotional.

Prince Khalid said, "Umi, la. la! min fadlika... ’anqidhaha... ’ana ’atawasal ’iilayk. law samahta..."

Translation: [Mom, no. No! Please... save her... I’m begging you. Please...]

He was begging Yue Xuexia as he could see his mother was almost unable to hold on. Prince Khalid was getting over emotional at the scene of him losing his mother just when he just finally talked to her normally like this.

"Alast tbybaan ’ilhyaan? limadha la tastatie ’iinqadhaha? aniha la tazal ealaa qayd alhayaati!"

Translation: [Aren’t you a Divine Doctor? Why can’t you save her? She is still alive!]

Taiyang bellowed, "Watch what are you saying? You..."

"It’s alright, Yangyang. Calm down first," said Yue Xuexia.

Then she looked at Prince Khalid and said, "Al’amir khalid, ’ana bialfiel altabib al’iilahii walakiniy last ’ilhan. laqad aintahaa eumruha tqryban. lam yakun jasaduha hu aladhi kan yamutu, bal ruhuha, wawaqtuha fi hadha alealami. wahadha ma salabaha minha ’ayu makhluq bidakhiliha."

Translation: [Prince Khalid, I am indeed the Divine Doctor however I am not a God. Her lifespan is almost spent. It wasn’t her body that was dying, it was her soul, her time in this world. That’s what was taken away from her by whatever creature is inside of her.]

Yue Xuexia said, "Yumkinuni tamdid hayaatiha libide sanawati. lakina ma faqadah jasaduha lan yaeud abdan. ladaya hubub tul aleumr walakin tanawal hadhih alhubub fi kathir min al’ahyan sayuqalil min athariha wahataa la taemal baed alan. eilawatan ealaa dhalika, yajib qatl altufayli al’umi ’iilaa ’iidha kunt targhab fi taghyir baladik ’iilaa ’ard al tufayli at bdlaan min ’ard alrimali."

Translation: [I can extend her life for a few years. However, what her body had lost will never return. I have Longevity Pills but often intake of this pill will lessen its effects until it doesn’t work anymore. Moreover, the mother parasite must be killed unless you want to change your country into a Land of Parasite instead of a land of sand.]

Yue Xuexia said, "Alkhiarat alati ’akhbaratk biha min qabl hi alkhiarat altaqlidiatu. sa’ukhbiruk bialkhiarat ghayr altaqlidiati. daeha tandamij mae al’umi altufayliat litaktasib ramziatan. sataeish almalikat althaalithat wakadhalik al’umu altufayliatu. hal baladuk mustaeidun liqabul malikat tufayliatin? ’iidha qumt bidhalik fala manie min alqiam bihadha alkhiari. wamae dhalika, fa’iina ma sayahduth fi almustaqbal sawf yaetamid ealayki. baed musaeadatik hadhih almarata, sa’akhruj wakula ma satafealuh malakat al tufayliaat fi almustaqbal sayakun bayn yadayka. hadad aikhtiaruka."

Translation: [The options I told you before were the orthodox ones. I will tell you the unorthodox options. Let her merge with the mother parasite to gain symbolisis. The third queen will live and so will the mother parasite. Is your country willing to accept a parasite queen? If you do, I don’t mind doing this option. However, whatever happens in the future will depend on you. After helping you this one time, I am out and whatever the parasite queen does in the future will be in your hands. Make your choice.]

Everyone in the hall was listening and felt that the future danger brought by the mother parasite was something that could destroy a whole country even if they could not believe that they could resolve it if she did something in the future.
