In the Half-Elven Palace.
Colin walked through the dark corridor and came to a secret basement.
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood and the lingering smell of death.
"What? Failed again? "
Hearing the voice behind them, the three half-elven female doctors in the basement came back to their senses and quickly greeted Colin.
Colin waved his hand casually, indicating that they did not need to be so polite. Then, he walked to an "operation table" in the middle of the basement and found that the two monkeys on the table, one big and one small, had become corpses.
One of the female doctors said with a sad face, "I'm sorry, my lord. We have tried many times, but we still can't successfully complete the 'cesarean section operation' you mentioned."
"Because you can't control the blood loss?" Colin looked at the blood flowing everywhere and asked.
"Yes, my lord."
"Then you should be able to use this method to take the fetus out of the mother's body, right?"
The female doctor hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but … my lord, if you use this method, the fetus may have a chance to survive, but the mother … will definitely die!"
The three female doctors had of course guessed why Colin wanted them to test this "cesarean section operation." When they thought that they might have to use this method to cut open Her Majesty's belly, they could not help but tremble.
If anything happened to Her Majesty or the fetus in her belly, they would definitely not be able to escape the blame.
Therefore, the three doctors only hoped that Colin could recognize the reality and give up this completely impossible method.
"I know." Colin nodded, "You can go and rest. This experiment ends here."
The three female doctors looked at each other and wanted to ask if Colin had completely given up this so-called "cesarean section operation." However, looking at Colin's cold and expressionless face, no one dared to speak first. They could only anxiously bow and leave.
Colin looked at the mess on the "operation table" and did not feel anything in his heart.
The failure of the female doctors did not surprise him.
With the underdeveloped surgical skills in this world, it would be a miracle if they could successfully perform a cesarean section.
However, Colin still let the female doctors experiment a few times on the monkeys. It was not that he expected them to succeed, but to let them familiarize themselves with the position of the fetus in the mother's belly and how to remove the fetus through surgery.
In this way, if Aisha really had a difficult birth, there would be an emergency plan.
As for the failure of these experiments, Colin did not care.
After all, blood loss or infection and other factors that could cause a cesarean section operation to fail were not a problem for vampires.
Of course, this kind of cesarean section was just a precaution. Colin definitely hoped that this set of measures would not come in handy.
Leaving the basement, Colin wanted to talk to Aisha, but when he reached the door of the palace, he found Duke Müller was waiting outside.
"Earl, are you here to visit Her Majesty?" Duke Müller greeted with a flattering smile.
Duke Müller was Aisha's brother. After the death of the previous Duke Müller, he inherited the title of the Miller family.
"Yes." Colin nodded and asked in confusion, "Why don't you go in?"
Duke Müller rubbed his hands and said awkwardly, "Mother is whispering to Her Majesty inside."
Colin immediately understood.
It was Duke Müller's mother, Madam Sharon, who was also Queen Aisha's mother. The mother and daughter were probably talking about things to take note of during childbirth. No wonder Duke Müller wanted to hide outside.
Colin rubbed his nose. He knew that it wasn't a good time for him to go in, so he stood beside Duke Müller and thought about what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, Duke Müller spoke first, "Earl, I heard that Silvermoon City hasn't been very peaceful recently!"
Colin glanced at him and asked with a smile, "What's not peaceful?"
Seeing that Colin was asking the obvious, Duke Müller was a little anxious and didn't try to hide it anymore.
"Earl, I don't believe that you haven't heard the news. Many nobles in Silvermoon City are secretly colluding with each other, preparing to rebel while Her Majesty is in labor and weak!"
"Oh?" Colin immediately pretended to be shocked and asked, "You should report such an important matter to Her Majesty!"
"I already told Her Majesty! But I don't know what Her Majesty is thinking. She just won't listen to me! " Duke Müller said bitterly. "Earl, I know that Her Majesty has always been very … respectful of you, so you should also advise Her Majesty!"
Colin stroked his chin and seemed to be moved. He asked, "Then, Duke Müller, according to what you said, what should Her Majesty do?"
"First, she has to stabilize the Silvermoon Guard!" Duke Müller blurted out. "Her Majesty shouldn't hand over the command of the Silvermoon Guard to Duke Modiwin at this critical juncture!"
"You think that Duke Modiwin will rebel?"
"That's a possibility. After all, the House of Medea used to be the half-elven royal family. William Modiwin didn't inherit the throne, so it's inevitable that he would resent Her Majesty. "
Colin nodded thoughtfully but didn't say anything.
Duke Müller saw this and continued to agitate, "Furthermore, Her Majesty actually let Duke Modiwin take over the kingdom's political affairs. This … This military and political power is concentrated in one person's hands. Wouldn't that make Duke Modiwin the de facto king of the half-elves?
You have to know that the key to power is balance … "
Hearing Duke Müller ramble on about the balance of power, Colin secretly rolled his eyes.
Of course, he knew what Aisha's brother was thinking. He was just jealous of Duke Modiwin.
However, to be honest, Colin could understand Duke Müller. After all, he was the Queen's brother and yet he was not favored by an outsider. It was natural for him to feel unbalanced.
But this also showed that Duke Müller didn't see through Colin and Aisha's plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Otherwise, he wouldn't be envious of Duke Modiwin's current position.
It was a fire pit.
Similarly, this also showed that Queen Aisha didn't reveal her plan to Duke Müller.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seemed that Aisha didn't trust her brother too much.
Duke Müller was still patiently showing off his political views. Colin was annoyed and was about to change the topic. But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him.
Turning his head, Colin saw Queen Aisha's mother, Madam Sharon, running out in panic.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Duke Müller hurriedly asked.
Madam Sharon was half anxious and half excited as she shouted.
"Her Majesty is about to give birth!"
