The Whispering Verses Chapter 2534: A tense night
Chapter 2533 A tense night
"Meow~"
The sleepy cat next to the pillow squinted its eyes, watching Shade quickly get up and change clothes and then run downstairs. When it jumped down the stairs with cat steps and swung its tail and slowly came to the downstairs foyer, Then I saw Dorothy kissing Shade's forehead under the light of the hall.
Looking at him with green eyes:
"I've really worked **** you these past few days. I have to keep you busy even though it has nothing to do with you. The Red Butterfly Day is this Monday, but Lecia doesn't have time, so she hasn't started yet. After this matter is over, Let's have a fun date.
Well, although the probability is very small, if you want to take pictures later, remember not to stand behind Carina, otherwise you will appear shorter than her. ”
She put a cloak on Shade to avoid the cold - although this was completely unnecessary for Shade. She breathed a sigh of relief after Shade boarded the rushing carriage at the door.
Wearing a robe to keep out the cold, she stood at the door and waved goodbye to the departing carriage. At this time, the neighbor's door also opened, and Dorothy greeted politely:
"Sir Smith, are you still up so late?"
The former chief financial secretary of the Kingdom was wearing pajamas and a childish nightcap:
"I'm reading tonight, well, I'm waiting for news about the two new viscounts in the Yodel Palace. I'm old and can't sleep with things on my mind."
The old man also looked at the carriage carrying Shade away:
"Miss Louisa, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Dorothy nodded:
"The Cavendish family is about to add a new member."
The running carriage carried Shade quickly into the Yodel Palace, and apparently there were more than one carriage coming from all over the city. The reporters guarding the door of Yodel Palace also knew that a new prince and princess were about to be born, but these people were not very important. The really important reporters had long been invited to enter the palace.
Tifa waited for Shade where he got off the carriage, then took his hand and started running in the Yodel Palace regardless of etiquette. In fact, there were many people running around here at this time.
Of course they did not go directly to the delivery room. Shade did not have such a "privilege" yet. Instead, they went to meet Carina first, and then went to the hospital with Carina who looked like she was going to give a public speech in parliament. Sitting down in the study.
Until then Shade could take a breath and asked:
"You are so anxious for me to come here, why don't we wait at the door of the delivery room?"
The duchess held the porcelain teacup elegantly and looked at him with strange eyes:
"Don't you realize that the two of us are elders? Even if someone needs to go to the door of the delivery room, it is definitely not us. The children who are about to be born are not worthy of this kind of treatment. I asked you to come here quickly because I am afraid that you will Being blocked at the door and unable to get in. Or, do you want to be questioned by those reporters?
She signaled to Tifa that she could take a rest and asked the other maid, Miss Martha McRuff, to pour tea for Shad:
"You were able to sleep for a while in the first half of the night, but I have been waiting for news. Of course, if Dorothy is in good spirits, I guess you didn't sleep in the first half of the night either."
"No, I fell asleep."
Xia De emphasized, took the tea cup and thanked her softly, and took a sip of tea before feeling completely awake from his sleep:
"I never knew that giving birth to a child was such an important thing. I'm afraid there won't be such a big news if a new heir is born in the royal family, right?"
Carina's eyes were a little confused:
"The birth of a child represents the continuation of the family, which is the most important to everyone. New blood means new possibilities, the regrets of one's life, one's unfinished ideals, and the things one has missed. They can all be captured by the next generation.
Even if they can't do it, at least someone will remember your story, remember your life, and then create a new life because of your story. This is Lapra, the ancestor of Megan and Audrey. S. Klein Howard understands this very well. ”
Shad knew that the red-haired duchess in front of him was probably thinking about the witch's infertility. He was about to say something to prevent her thoughts from diverging further. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. After Tifa answered on her behalf, Agelina Then walked in.
The little princess is also dressed very formally:
"Good evening, Aunt Carina, good evening, Shad. Can I wait here with you?"
Although it was a question, she sat down directly, and the maids prepared a teacup for her. The little princess looked a little unhappy.
"Agelina, don't you have to wait at the door of the delivery room?"
Xia De asked curiously, and Agelina nodded unhappily:
"They do not allow unmarried princesses to go there, saying that they are afraid that the painful screams during childbirth will frighten the young girls, so only married sisters and adult brothers can go there."
She felt this was unfair. After all, Agelina thought she was very mature:
"I have experienced many big things, and I am not afraid of these."
Carina turned to look at her and said softly:
"From the time I was born until now, I have never been allowed to wait for good news outside the delivery room."
Agelina immediately closed her mouth, first cast a look of help at Shade, and then sat there obediently drinking tea.
"Time is really amazing."
Although Agelina stopped talking, Carina was still looking at her:
"Many years ago, I was like Agelina now, waiting for the birth of a new brother or sister with complicated emotions. I was happy that I had a new relative, but I was worried that the appearance of a new family member would be a blessing to me. The influence of status, how troubled we are in girlhood~
When I look at Agelina now, it’s like I’m seeing the past me. Agelina, you still don’t understand what a new family means, you don’t understand yet”
"How about we talk about something positive? Carina, if you want to be eighteen again, wait until I have enough energy to try it with the new fairy tale lock."
Xia De suggested:
"I can rewind the time of an entire city, but a single individual will be fine."
"I don't need to be eighteen again, I will always be eighteen."
The witch said unceremoniously, Agelina tried to keep herself calm, but fortunately they did not continue this topic.
"Where did Lesia go?"
Xia De asked again, and then Agelina said:
"Sister went to receive the Duchess of Minsk and Duchess of Dodge. You know, we have many relatives."
"In a few years, you will also have such a task. Time is really amazing~ Cherish the present, Agelina, everything can be recovered, only time cannot be recovered.
Even if we can return to our girlhood with the knight's magical little ability, our thoughts will never go back. ”
The witch tonight is particularly sentimental, but Shade knows why she is like this, so he will never say unnecessary words. He moved closer to her on the sofa, then put his arm around her shoulders, and the red-haired witch leaned on his shoulders.
After that, they continued to chat about the Cavendish relatives. This chat lasted for another fifteen minutes. Even Agelina knew that the waiting time was a bit too long.
So Tifa took people to check the situation, and soon came back with not very good news:
"The delivery is still going on in the delivery room, and it doesn't seem to be going well."
"When the doctor checked, didn't he say that the fetal position was correct?"
Carina frowned slightly, seeing that Agelina was a little nervous, she comforted her:
"It'll be okay. I remember you struggled for a long time when you were born. Now, haven't you grown up smoothly and even started competing with your sister for men?"
Xia De asked:
"If it is really difficult to give birth, do the royal doctors know how to perform a caesarean section?"
"Caesarean section? That kind of surgery with a high mortality rate? I think even if someone masters it, they would not dare to use it. The probability of massive bleeding and infection is too high."
Carina shook her head again. Although the technological level and medical level of this era were slightly higher than what they should have been in the normal steam era due to the emergence of extraordinary beings, caesarean sections were still extremely rare in this era.
Agelina looks even more nervous. She was not so nervous during the Battle of Moon Bay. After all, there was Shade at that time, but now Shade is impossible to help.
Although Carina comforted Agelina, she also looked a little anxious, which could be seen from her right hand that kept tapping the armrest of the sofa.
Tifa took the maids to continue to inquire about the latest news. Although Shade did not go out, he could still feel that the entire Yodel Palace was enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
Saturday morning should have been the quietest time in the city, but the brightly lit Yodel Palace touched the hearts of countless people. At 0:37, Carina, who was really worried, got up and went to see the situation in person, but she asked Shade and Agelina not to follow:
"Shad, you are optimistic about Agelina."
"Shadow, can we use the power of the Ring Warlock to save our mother and brothers?"
When the door was closed, the little princess asked Shade pitifully. Shade looked at her without saying anything, and Agelina knew what he meant:
"I know that it is the responsibility of every magician to keep ordinary people who are not involved with the supernatural away from supernatural forces. If we are ordinary people, we will be saved if we save them, but we are the royal family."
She was depressed for a while, and then asked for a stack of cards from her maid behind her, which were divination cards:
"I want to do some divination for my mother. When we were in Moon Bay, Matilda, the countess' maid, taught me divination, but I probably didn't learn it."
She was a little clumsy doing what she could do, and Shade also helped her straighten the cards. Compared with Luvia and Miss Belindel, the little princess's divination skills are of course very poor. She can't even shuffle cards.
Finally she picked out three cards, one symbolizing the mother, one symbolizing the children, and one symbolizing the overall outcome of the matter.
Even though Shade didn't know much about divination and felt that her method was wrong, he was still willing to accompany Agelina to open the cards.
