The Whispering Verses Chapter 2533: The Queen’s due date
Chapter 2532 The Queen’s Due Date
The function of [Night Arrow] can be divided into two parts. The first part is the attack function. The arrow can directly break through and swallow up the light. Whether it is a gas lamp or the light created by the Ring Warlock, it can be extinguished.
This is also the reason why Miss Feliana can kill the "Evil Dragon of Light" with one arrow. This magic has an absolute restraint effect on such things made of pure light.
If the attack target is not a luminous object, then "Night Arrow" can produce physical attack effects and dark corrosive effects like [Shadow Ball] on the hit target during the day; at night, in addition to the above effects, [Night Arrow] It can also cause the target hit to fall into various cursed states such as confusion, blindness, madness, etc.
The second characteristic of thaumaturgy is that it is fired into an uninhabited area. The location where the arrow hits will create a field that is similar to "dark night". The site suppresses light, and the duration and proximity to the night are determined by the current environment, the spirit consumed by the caster, and the caster's proficiency in thaumaturgy.
All in all, this complex witch secret technique is very suitable for Shade.
After mastering thaumaturgy, Shade took Iluna with him to Green Island to try it out. It was daytime at that time. Shade shot an arrow at his feet first, and the surrounding light immediately dimmed. Although it did not completely reach the "dark night" state, it was enough to let Shade enter the home field.
The evidence lies in the fact that once entering the dark place created by the "Year of Night", Iluna said that her magic arts such as "Light Technique" and "Sunshine Gun" will be affected by the weakening of the effect, and this will affect Shade's thaumaturgy had no effect.
In such leisure and busyness, time soon officially came to the harvest month of 1854 in the universal calendar. As usual, Shade also received a letter from Miss Gothe at the beginning of the month.
That happened on Wednesday, the third day of the Harvest Moon.
Miss Gold did not mention too many trivial matters in this letter. She just said that she was packing her luggage and preparing to leave when she wrote this letter. The letter will definitely reach Torbes within the week after it reaches Shade. gram.
Xia De suddenly became nervous.
At the same time, the major newspapers in Tobesk were also nervous. This was not because Mia Gold was about to visit Shad Hamilton, but because Queen Diana was also due to give birth this week. She has been pregnant since the beginning of the year and now in September, a new member of the royal family is finally about to be born.
Since entering the Harvest Moon, all major newspapers in Tobesk have sent their own reporters to wait for news day and night at the gate of Yodel Palace. Shade feels very strange about this:
"The birth of the new prince and princess of the kingdom is of course important, but Dorothy and Lesia already have so many brothers and sisters, do reporters still need to wait for the news as if they want to grab the headlines? ?"
The blonde writer who was going to spend the night here smiled and said:
"Shad, this is why you don't understand~ The royal family's doctor's examination believes that this time there is a high probability that they are twins. Although they don't know whether it is a princess or a prince, this is a good sign. Lesia's generation still has There are no twins.
The king believed that this was a turbulent time and he could use this event to celebrate and boost morale. Whether they are twins, twins, or twin princesses and twin princes, the royal family will launch a series of actions in the future, such as directly ennobling the twins, tax reductions this year, disaster relief from the city hall, etc. ”
Because Lesia has many brothers and sisters, princes and princesses do not get titles when they reach adulthood, but when they get married. According to the royal family, this is to ensure that knighthood is based on personal qualities, achievements and contributions, rather than simply on birth status.
Of course, if a member of the royal family is born into a particularly prominent position or importance, or if they demonstrate extraordinary talents and contributions at a young age, they may be considered for a knighthood while still a minor, but It is a pity that no one in Lesia's generation has this honor except her eldest brother.
"Directly knighting a newborn child? It seems that the conflicts at home and abroad are really about to be unstoppable. Lecia's two younger brothers were born at a turning point in Delarion."
Shad sighed and handed the course report that he needed to polish to Dorothy across the desk, who continued:
"The financial statements for the first two quarters of this year that Lesiya saw were not good-looking. Moreover, the weather this year is so extreme that a food harvest failure this autumn is almost certain. If you don't go shopping for vegetables, you don't know the current food prices. I thought the problem would be worse in winter."
"So have the unborn twin princes decided what titles they will receive?"
Shad asked again, Lecia and Carina heard what he said about Queen Diana's belly having twin princes, and Dorothy also knew:
"Isn't your report a little too concise, Shade? The more you write, the higher your score will be. There are so many brothers and sisters among the princes who are about to be born. They cannot be counted in terms of inheritance rights.
In addition, the public cannot be allowed to think that princes get titles just because of their status, so this time they are only awarded to 'viscounts'. As you know, members of the royal family rarely get the title of viscount, and they usually start as earls.
Lecia heard from Carina that one was Viscount or Countess of Wizards of the Coast, and the other was Viscount or Countess of Memphis. Both of these places are in the south of Tobesk, very close to your 'Rejed Town'. ”
"What about the names of the two children?"
"Well, let me ask, oh, Lecia said no one has mentioned this yet."
Xia De originally thought that the birth of the princes had nothing to do with him. He only needed to pack up the house and wait for the arrival of Miss Gothe. However, he did not expect that early on Thursday morning the next day, Carina actually came to the door in person. Holding Shade's hand, she asked Shade to go with her to visit the queen at Yodel Palace:
"Wait a minute, I want to go too?"
Shad, who was still eating breakfast, was a little surprised. The duchess frowned and said:
"Of course we are going, all members of the Cavendish family are going. Who doesn't know your relationship with me now? I even lived in your house some time ago. If you don't go this time, people will Gossip."
"Are you contrary to what you said? No, I have no objection to going with you, but you know that Miss God will come to your door at any time."
"It doesn't matter, I asked Lesia to invite Dorothy to your place. She will be there in a moment. Dorothy will be at home during the day these days. If it happens that Miss Gold is not at home, When the time comes, our writer will treat her not to take little Mia to the Yodel Palace. Pregnant women are not allowed to touch cats."
"Meow~"
The cat, which was eating with its head down, meowed, and Carina ordered Tifa behind her to quickly take the maids to change Shade's clothes:
"The due date is tomorrow Friday. You have to wait with me in the Yodel Palace during the daytime for these two days to ensure that we are both present during the birth.
Don't think this is for my sake. Now that you appear in front of my nephew a few more times, when you propose to Lesia in the future, at least he will remember that you have participated in our family activities. ”
The maids had already walked over with clothes at this time, and Tifa was holding a tie. When they were changing Shade's clothes, they didn't disturb the conversation between Shade and Carina at all, so they were indeed very professional:
"I know sooner or later I will have to explain this to your nephew Larousse III and I will be responsible for all of you, but okay, I get it and I will go with you. Hope the kids are okay Come and everything will be fine."
"You can wait until after the children are born. Oh, Tifa, change your tie, I don't like this color. Shade, I will be staying at Yordle Palace for the next few nights, but you can Come back, but don’t sleep too fast and listen to the news at any time.”
If she and Shade hadn't been officially married yet, she should actually have left Shade in Yodel Palace.
Thus, outsiders were involved in the birth of new members of the royal family. Although he was forced to participate in something that had nothing to do with him, since he was accompanying Carina, Shade would not complain.
Even when he was extremely bored, he would think that he might be able to hug the two princes. In this way, when they grow up, they can also say, "Oh, I am your Uncle Hamilton. I hugged you when you were little."
【Are you sure it's "uncle" and not "brother" or "aunt"? 】
"This is a real problem."
But in fact, except for being taken to see Queen Diana once by Carina on Thursday, Shade never saw the Queen again when she was about to give birth.
During the day, he and Carina were in the Duchess's office in Yodel Palace, drinking tea and reading newspapers, or helping the Duchess handle some unimportant documents. During this period, Lesia and Agelina also came once or twice, but they had no time to chat with Shade.
Carina is not always in the office. Although princes are about to be born, the country cannot stop running. When the Duchess went out to do errands, Shade was left alone to look through books boredly. Although he had always liked reading, this was really unbearable.
He even tried to play Rhodes with himself, which made Shade feel like the most leisurely person in the palace.
There was no movement all day on Thursday, and Shade went home to rest that night. It was Friday, the due date, and unexpectedly there was no news of the birth all day long. But when the time passed midnight and came to Saturday, Shade, who was sleeping soundly, was chasing Emilia who was gradually retreating in his dream, but suddenly he heard someone calling him:
"Shad! Shad! Wake up! Open your eyes, don't sleep!"
It was the writer lady who was sleeping with me who was calling Shade. The blonde girl in pajamas had already turned on the gas lamp beside the bed:
"Hurry up and change your clothes. The carriage has come to pick you up. Lesia told me that she is about to give birth! Get up quickly!"
