After passing through the Shadow Canyon, the Blood Cavalry went all the way to the north.
After traveling for another two days, the sentinel cavalry actually brought another 'roadblock' to Colin.
However, Colin didn't refuse the invitation this time.
Because it was Queen Aisha's handwriting on the invitation.
"Knight Roger, speed up. We'll rest in Red Maple Manor tonight."
"Yes, sir!"
With this order, the Blood Cavalry began to speed up and finally arrived at Red Maple Manor in the southern suburbs of Silvermoon City before sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the flame-like maple leaves, making the scene unreal.
Colin had a deep impression of this manor because he had escorted Vera to pass by here a year ago.
Moreover, the two of them had left behind a beautiful memory here.
Unexpectedly, when Colin passed by Red Maple Manor for the second time, he found Queen Aisha waiting for him here.
The beautiful scenery of the sunset and maple leaves was not as attractive to Colin as the beautiful figure at the entrance of the manor.
After a long time, Queen Aisha's belly had swelled up, but her face was still as delicate as before.
As a female knight, of course, Aisha wouldn't have any pregnancy reactions like normal pregnant women. She wouldn't feel nauseous or vomit, and her body wouldn't become bloated or out of shape either. Only the unconcealable radiance of motherhood made the elegant and beautiful half-elf queen seem more gentle and approachable.
"Why don't you stay in Silvermoon City? Why are you running around with such a big belly? "
Colin got off the horse, stepped forward and said in a slightly reproachful tone.
Queen Aisha smiled and said in a sweet voice, "I'm just here to relax. The Red Maple Forest in this season is a rare beautiful scenery in the world."
Colin didn't want to be too harsh on the woman who was about to give birth to his child. He walked side by side with her into the manor and said,
"Then I'll accompany you to see the maple leaves?"
"Okay, the banquet will take a while."
Hearing this, the crowd around immediately dispersed quietly, giving enough privacy to the two people who had not seen each other for a long time.
Feeling neglected, Princess Judy also wanted to follow, but she was stopped by Prince Harrison.
Initially, Colin had only planned to bring Prince Harrison along, but he didn't expect Princess Judy to shamelessly insist on tagging along. Colin was worried that the incident with Joyce would traumatize the little girl, so he brought her along as a way to let her relax.
However, Judy's lively and carefree attitude made Colin feel that he was worried for nothing.
"Why are you stopping me?" Judy glared at her brother, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
"Teacher has something important to discuss with Queen Aisha. Why are you following them?"
"Something important? Who would talk about important matters as soon as they met? Moreover, he didn't even greet us. How rude! "Judy shouted, unconvinced.
"Maybe Queen Aisha didn't see us." "Furthermore, we're here as students and teachers. Her Majesty doesn't have to welcome us like royalty."
"Anyway, it's too much!" Judy still looked angry. Then, she looked at Colin and Aisha's departing figures, and seemed to realize something. She whispered mysteriously, "Hey, Brother, do you know something? Teacher and Queen Aisha don't seem to have a normal relationship? "
"No … No! Don't make wild guesses. "Harrison shook his head guiltily.
Actually, he wasn't sure himself. When Queen Mydella brought him to the half-elf queen's coronation, he had indeed guessed that Aisha's child might be Colin's. However, after the incident with Joyce, Harrison already had respect for Colin. Naturally, he didn't dare to make wild guesses about his teacher's secret.
Only Judy rolled her big bright eyes, as if she was scheming something.
…
"When is the due date?"
"About half a month."
Queen Aisha was wearing a loose white silk dress. She had one hand on her bulging belly and the other holding Colin's arm as they strolled through the fiery red maple forest.
Her beautiful and charming face shone with the radiance of happiness. Her green eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at her lover.
"Have the necessary preparations been made?"
"Don't worry, they're all done."
Colin's worry was actually a little unnecessary. As the half-elf queen, how could Aisha not have anyone to help her with something as important as giving birth?
Moreover, as a blood descendant, Aisha's life wouldn't be in danger even if her heart was pierced. Thus, giving birth was nothing to worry about.
Even if she encountered a difficult birth, Colin was confident that he could command the doctors to successfully perform a C-section for Aisha in this era where medical technology was lacking.
Of course, Colin definitely didn't want Aisha to suffer like this. It was best if everything went smoothly.
"Did you meet the people of the Lute Family when you came?"
"Yes." Colin nodded, "Did they also look for you?"
Queen Aisha nodded, "That's right. However, I remember you saying that now is not the best time for the military to intervene in Alfalfa City, so I refused them. "
"You did the right thing."
"However, the Lute Family's current situation is really not good. Without outside support, I estimate that it won't be long before they are driven out of Alfalfa City. "Queen Aisha frowned slightly," It seems that I have to continue looking for the next city lord. "
Colin squeezed Queen Aisha's soft little hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I already have a plan."
"Oh?"
Looking at Aisha's curious face, Colin shook his head and deliberately kept her in suspense, "You'll understand after a while."
Aisha nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She was still very confident in Colin.
The two chatted as they walked. They passed by a well made of white glazed rock with a sapling planted in it.
Colin curiously asked, "Why is this maple tree surrounded?"
"I planted it myself two days ago." Aisha softly said, her face full of motherly radiance, "To commemorate our child that is about to be born."
Colin looked at the young sapling and his heart trembled. An inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart as he said, "Can I touch it?"
Aisha knew that Colin was talking about the child in her belly. She smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Colin looked at Aisha's bright and beautiful face and slowly hugged her from behind.
Aisha leaned on Colin's body and held his hands, gently pressing them against her abdomen.
Colin could feel Aisha's soft and delicate skin through the soft and smooth silk fabric. Her weak but firm heartbeat clearly fell into his palm.
This kind of heartbeat caused Colin to be momentarily dazed.
This little life was connected to his bloodline and was an extension of his life. It proved that his existence in this world was real and not fabricated.
As a "visitor from another world", Colin had always felt a vague sense of estrangement from this world. It was as if he didn't truly belong here.
Only now did Colin finally feel a sense of belonging as he listened to the heartbeat of the little life in Aisha's belly.
For a moment, his heart was calm and filled with strength.
Suddenly, Colin thought of a question — as the child of him and his bloodline, would this child also be a member of the Blood Race?
At the thought of this, Colin felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
