Chapter 115: Birth
It was the day after Sonia told us her past.
When we asked why she return to seduce other men after that, she just said that she was bored.
I guess how she ended up being seduced is because she wanted to be loved. With her appearance, it"s no trouble for her to get a man fall for her. But they were only l.u.s.ting for her body I guess. That"s why she wanted them to love her for who she is.
Then that guy come, showering her with loves, and killed her.
Which means there"s a possibility that this Evil G.o.d is a swindler. That"s only if our a.s.sumption was right. We haven"t been able to find any clues at all in the Tower Library.
Today, our schedule is like usual. Going back to the inn where everyone stayed, have breakfast with everyone, playing with Daniel for a bit before returning to the library.
But just as I was about to leave the library, Sonia appears in front of me.
"It"s today! Marie"s water is broke!"
"Tell the others I can"t return. Then you will go back to Marie"s side and tell her what to do!"
I asked Sonia to help Marie delivering her babies before I reached there. It might be just a few minute until I arrive, but it"s still helpful.
"Me? Are you sure?" Sonia seems not confident in doing it.
"Yes. You are a mother as well. You know what to do."
"Alright. I"ll try my best!"
Sonia disappear and I prepared myself to sneak into the palace.
I looked at the palace and see that the room they are in is not the usual King"s Chamber. It was probably a guest room or something that was used for the deliveries.
Marie was there breathing heavily. Albert, Shirley, and Ian also there. Candy is still summoning other secret agents and Ms. Wendy has left for Melk a few days ago.
But there is another person there. A man who seems to be the court mage. Has Albert decided to trust him? Or maybe it was an emergency so he forgot about him and only think about Marie and her babies. I"ll check that later.
"Victoria, you there?"
"Yes I am!"
I didn"t sleep too long after Sonia told me her past. Now I"m curious about how long can Victoria stays?
"How long can you be in control this time? I thought I didn"t sleep that long."
"Now I don"t have to stay for the whole time. I can turn my control of Blobby on and off as many times as I want as long as I still have time. For now… let"s say it"s about fourteen hours."
"That"s a lot. You still defeating monsters?"
I have changed my outfit into Ninja"s appearance and left the library. But I still have time for a small chat.
"Yes. I spend at least 5 hours a day to defeat monsters. Then whenever I"m silent by your side, it was probably Blobby."
"Good. It means soon my summoning level can rise and thanks to Pear-y Fruit I can make contract with another monster."
As we were close to where the others are, I heard some arguments.
"Your majesty! It"s not time to be stubborn! You can"t trust a ghost to deliver your child!"
"It"s fine! She"s here because of his order! He will come soon! You must never call any other people here! Even you coming here is a mistake!"
Did he just say that a possible ally is a mistake? Maybe he"s too emotional to make judgments. He need to calm down fast.
Good thing there"s a hidden pa.s.sage to that room. I emerged from the wall and prepare myself to deliver the twin.
"Good morning. Albert and you, the other guy, please don"t be noisy. We"re here to watch the miracle of life. Marie, you"re doing well. Keep it that way."
"KEEP WHAT?! I"M TRYING!!"
So far, it"s going well. After experienced delivering two babies, Sonia sure knows well what to do.
"Who are you? How did you come here?"
The court mage with the mustache preparing his magic to attack me. But Albert stopped him.
"Stop it Miguel! He"s a doctor I trust and a friend! Ro- Ninja! Help my wife!"
"That"s why I"m here."
In panic, Albert almost called me by my real name. But he changed it midway remembering that there"s someone new here.
The first one to come out is the boy. It took Marie thirty minutes to finally deliver him.
"The boy is healthy. Victoria, put him on that bed! Sonia, instruct her on what to do!"
"Okay!"
Victoria and Sonia move to the other bed. Shirley followed them to look at her nephew. She"s happy that his nephew was born safely.
Me too. I never thought that even after cultivating, there"s no issues with the boy. At least physically, he"s fine and healthy. We can only hope he will be fine growing up as well.
"Oooh! My king! Congratulation! Now you we have the heir for the kingdom… what"s wrong?"
"Shut up, Miguel. Don"t forget that I told you that you were not supposed to be here. Everything that happened here, is a secret!"
"Umm… what"s wro-…?! It"s a twin?!"
"YOU TWO ARE TOO LOUD!"
Marie shouted at the two.
If this Miguel has any kind of explosives inside his mouth, I would have cut his neck right away. But the fact that he doesn"t have it, make him a possible ally.
"No one make a sound other than me, Marie, and Sonia and the newly born boy! This is the first ever in the world to happen and no one here want to see a mistake happening!"
I shut everyone.
Sonia is busy instructing Victoria and Shirley who wanted to help. The boy is fine so there"s nothing else they can do other than letting him cry.
And soon, I can see that the girl is about to come out. She"s still not breathing and her heart is not beating. But no one here lost hope.
And strange thing happen. The atmosphere turned cold. Even the warm water that was brought here turned cold and freeze.
"What happen?"
The one who knows nothing, can"t shut his mouth at all.
"Fire mage! Warm the water!"
I told anyone who has fire element to grab the basin and warm the water again.
"Victoria! Wall! Separate us from the other baby! Ice mage come here!"
Victoria turned into a wall, but there"s still a door she opened so Shirley can come over. After Shirley come over, the door is closed. Now it"s just me, Marie, and Shirley. And after seeing that the boy is really fine and telling the king he"s okay, Sonia also come over.
"What is happening?"
"Probably the result of all your cultivation. Once the baby come out, the magic inside her body all come out and makes everything freeze."
"Should I call Albert and let him warm this room?"
Sonia asking if it"s fine to change the temperature.
"No. We don"t know what will happen here. This girl will be born having innate talent as Ice element mage as soon as she"s born. The temperature is probably something that she did instinctively as she is an ice mage and will make her calmer that way. If we forcefully change the temperature, it might be dangerous for her!"
"But if we stay like this, even we will freeze to death!"
"… Victoria! Tell the guys in the other side to bring us warm blankets!"
"Alright!"
Even Marie"s temperature is dropping. If it goes on, she might die even if she"s an ice mage.
I"m doing fine because I cover myself with Aura. Maybe I can help her if I use Aura to cover her body.
It"s the first time I did this so I hope it works.
I grabbed Marie"s hand that"s gripping hard on the blanket and just like how I use my Aura to cover my weapon to make it sharper, I used it to cover Marie"s whole body.
Her temperature isn"t dropping anymore, but because I need to cover her as well, it"s me this time whose body temperature is dropping.
Just endure it, Roy!
Another thirty minutes pa.s.sed in this frozen h.e.l.l. My body is shaking due to the cold. Even six layer of clothes and blanket didn"t help me. It"s just my will that I have to depend on now.
"UUUUUUAAAAAAAAARGHH!!"
Marie yelled out loud as the baby finally come out.
I ignore everything including my own body and check on the baby.
She"s still not breathing.
"Roy?"
I ignored Marie as I tried to push in air into the baby"s lung. I grabbed a straw I brought with me, put one side in my mouth and the other side in the baby"s mouth.
I made sure that she can get some Oxygen as I blow into the straw to force the Oxygen inside her lung.
Finally, after the fifth tries…
"OWAAAA! OWAAAA!"
I fall on my b.u.t.t and feel relieved. But I didn"t forget to say the important thing to the mother as a doctor.
"Finally… congratulation! It"s a boy and a girl. Both of them are healthy."
Marie let out a smile as she cried, but soon after she fainted because of exhaustion.
"Marie!"
"Don"t worry. She"s just tired. But I need to perform a check on her as well. Hopefully, she"s fine."
Victoria transformed back into a human and let Albert enter as he carried his son.
After checking on Marie telling him that she"s fine physically and just exhausted, everyone laughed with joy.
…I guess I"ll celebrate by eating a whole lot of food today. I won"t be going to the library anymore today. I"ll just return there tomorrow.
