Chapter 594: Watson’s Younger Sister
"Did you rush home after learning that Mother is pregnant?" Watson"s second sister, Nindy, asked as she walked toward Watson with a smile.
It had been a long time since Watson last saw Nindy. She was wearing a mage hat and a long robe, and she looked like a sage with great magic power. Her eyes also contained a myriad of stars, which could calm other people.
"I..." Watson let go of his big brother"s hand and stammered to answer his second sister"s question. He did not know that his mother was pregnant. If he had not brought the elves to the border, he would not have known that his mother was with child.
His goal was to let his family and friends live happy lives, but he had been too concerned about other things, which made him feel ashamed.
As if they could see Watson"s embarra.s.sment, Zeke and Zenoah walked forward to smooth things over. "Watson went to the royal city. It"s very dangerous to go against the king. How can we add to his burden? Didn"t we agree not to tell Watson about Mother"s pregnancy so that he would not worry? How would he know if we didn"t tell him? Watson might not know about that. Maybe he just misses us."
Zeke and Zenoah were the same as before. They were still on good terms. The only difference was that the two brothers were dressed in neat suits and exuded great n.o.bles" aura. When Watson had been away, the two did not stop trading and had already made a name for themselves.
Then, Watson s.h.i.+fted his gaze. He realized that his siblings had changed a lot. Even his father, Edward, was no longer the weak person he used to be. He exuded the aura of a diamond-tier elite.
Unlike the others, Edward only nodded when he saw Watson. He grabbed his hair and paced in front of the tightly shut door in annoyance.
"It"s already been an hour since Catherine went in. This is the first time this has taken this long. And she has been pregnant for a longer time than the others. Everything is okay, right?"
Edward spat a few times as if he realized that his words were unlucky. "I believe in Catherine. There won"t be any accidents. I only need to consider whether I"ll see a baby boy or a baby girl later. But will the child be human? I can now transform into a diamond-tier dragon and have the bloodline of an angel. It"s the same for Catherine. What if it"s not a human but an angel or a dragon baby? Well, I can accept that. But please don"t give birth to a monster that"s half-dragon, half-angel, and half-human. "
Edward was mumbling, but his voice was so loud that everyone could hear what he was saying. They all had strange expressions on their faces when they heard that.
"Father, you"re still worried about such a problem at a time like this. I can only say that you"re still you." Watson"s sixth sister, Margaret, held a thick piece of parchment and recorded something on it. She could not help but grumble, "But that question is very interesting. What would a child born to two people with three bloodlines look like? Would the number of his bloodlines increase or decrease? Watson, do you know the answer to that question?"
"I don"t know the answer to that question, but I do know that the child will be a human being and a girl."
Watson touched his chest. At that moment, he felt the human chess piece on his chest vibrate, and a force was drawn from the room.
The human chess piece was the sum of all human powers. After the death of a human, the soul would be broken down into energy particles and returned to it. When a new life was born, the power within the human chess piece would surge again.
That process was usually very subtle because countless humans died every day, and countless new humans would be born. Watson had never felt the overly intense vibration, but at that moment, he could feel it. That proved that the human chess pieces had used up a large amount of energy.
"Watson, you know about that? When you went out, did you obtain clairvoyance or the ability to predict the future? Are you just saying that comfort me?"
Watson"s words did not convince Edward. Suddenly, a loud cry erupted from the room.
Immediately after that, the door was pushed open by two maids. They wiped the sweat from their heads and said, "Madam has given birth. It"s a girl."
"It"s really a girl!"
Edward was stunned on the spot. He quickly reacted and rushed into the room.
Watson and his siblings rushed in with him. After the group of people entered, they immediately surrounded a large bed in the middle of the room. They encircled Catherine, who was covered in sweat and looked haggard. A baby girl wrapped in a white towel placed her finger in her mouth. She lay there quietly and did not cry or make any noise. Her blue eyes sized up the world curiously, and the few hairs on her head stuck to her forehead.
"You"re all here. We have a human baby girl! Look at her eyes. They"re sky-blue like the sea. Isn"t she cute?"
Catherine looked at the baby with a loving expression. "What should we name her? Any ideas?" She raised her head. When she saw Watson in the room, she was stunned. She looked at him lovingly.
"Watson, you"re home. The baby"s eyes look very similar to yours. Why don"t you choose a name for her? Ever since I had you, our lives have become better. I hope that this child can be as promising as you and bring more joy to the family."
"Mother, are you sure you want Watson to choose a name?"
The older siblings knew Watson"s lack of skills in coming up with names. The beautiful Frost Phoenix was called Emperor Cluck, and the magnificent Death Omen Star Dragon was called Charcoal. Even the World Transformation Mirror that Watson had collected in the City of Steel had ridiculed Watson"s naming ability. As a result, many people on Mount Creation knew about that matter.
However, Watson did not know that. He ignored his siblings" doubts. He stroked his chin and began to ponder. "My sister"s eyes are beautiful, and her facial features are exquisite, but none of those can compare to the dull hair on her forehead. She looks adorable! I"ve decided that my sister"s name will be Fluffy."
"Fluffy? Watson, are you serious? "
The rest of them widened their eyes.
"Of course! My sister looks as soft and cute as Fluffy."
"How can a girl be named Fluffy? Watson"s naming skill is a disaster for women." Scarlet rolled her eyes. Nindy and Margaret nodded in agreement.
The baby, who had been biting his fingers and appeared very quiet, suddenly loosened his fingers after hearing that name. She kicked her calves and cried loudly.
"Watson, look at you. The name is too ugly; even my daughter can"t bear to hear it anymore," Edward retorted.
Watson"s expression became awkward. "Then what name would you give her?"
"I think that child"s eyes are very bright. There seems to be light in them. Why don"t we call her Jeanne?"
Jeanne was a knight from a previous Holy Dragon Kingdom era. She was known as the Knight of Light. Therefore, the name also had a bright and beautiful meaning.
Everyone praised the name unanimously. Even the baby stopped crying. Her big blue eyes blinked as if she liked that name very much. The only one who was unhappy was probably Watson. He walked to the corner of the wall and leaned against it, muttering, "What"s wrong with Fluffy? It"s a cute name."
