They had just experienced a maneuver, so when it came to the real thing this time, the people in the delivery room were not too nervous. They just habitually did their own jobs.
Only Colin began to be anxious.
"Ah!!!"
Listening to the cry of Aisha from the delivery room and watching the maids coming in and out to deliver various things, Colin stood at the gate of the palace stupidly, but he felt that all this was a bit unreal.
But this time, it was indeed real.
The wonder in the night sky had disappeared, but the shadow of the phoenix was still lingering in Colin's mind, making him faintly uneasy.
What a coincidence.
The shadow of the phoenix appeared and disappeared in a flash over the palace, and then Aisha was about to give birth.
Although the sequence of time did not necessarily mean the connection of cause and effect, Colin found it hard to believe that there was no relationship between the two.
Could it be that this was the real killing move of the rebel forces?
But Colin found that he could not understand the opponent's move at all.
What was the shadow of the phoenix?
What impact did it have on Aisha and the child in her belly?
Without knowing these, Colin did not know how to deal with it. He could only pray that his worries were superfluous and Aisha could give birth smoothly.
However, as time went by, Colin's heart kept sinking.
The glimmer of dawn tore through the dark night and sprinkled the first ray of sunshine in the Half Elven Palace. The battle in the city had not yet stopped, but according to Knight Roger's report, the Bloody Cavalry was gradually gaining the upper hand, and it was believed that it would not be long before they could completely suppress the rebellion of the Silvermoon Guard.
But Colin was not happy, because the child was still not born smoothly, and Aisha's voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Finally, Colin could not bear it anymore and strode into the delivery room.
It was reasonable to say that an "outsider" like Colin should not enter the delivery room of Queen Aisha, but in the current situation, no one dared to say anything.
Moreover, everyone was well aware of the true relationship between Colin and Aisha.
"What's going on?" Colin's heart ached when he saw Queen Aisha lying on the bed with a pale face and drenched in sweat.
"Count, His Majesty … His Majesty doesn't have any strength …" The female doctor looked at the gloomy Colin and said carefully.
Colin glared at him and said anxiously, "What do you mean by no strength? Didn't you use Energy Serums? "
"Yes, His Majesty has already finished three bottles of energy potions, but …"
Colin frowned as he realized that something was wrong.
Theoretically, as a knight, Aisha should be much stronger than other pregnant women. How could she be so weak during labor?
Moreover, Aisha's spirit and energy were still so weak after drinking so many energy elixirs. There was clearly something wrong with her.
"Colin …" Queen Aisha shouted weakly.
Colin quickly sat by the bed and held Aisha's hand, comforting her gently, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Aisha shook her head slowly and said, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth to this child …"
"Don't be silly!"
"Listen to me … I can feel … the child's aura is too strong …"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember the phoenix illusion you saw last night?"
"Yes, what is that?"
"That's the totem of the high elves …"
Colin knew about this. It was said that the blood of the legendary mythical beast, the phoenix, flowed in the high elves' bodies. Therefore, their king was called the "Phoenix King", and the palace they built in Imperial Dragon City was also called the "Phoenix Palace".
However, he did not understand why the phoenix illusion appeared in Silvermoon City, and what did it have to do with Aisha's labor.
Before he could ask, Queen Aisha continued, "The phoenix bloodline is the symbol of the high elves' royal family, and the child in my stomach is probably of the phoenix bloodline …
I don't know how a half-elf like me could give birth to the phoenix bloodline that even the high elves' royal family treasures, but … such a strong bloodline is beyond my ability to bear. It's constantly absorbing my strength, and I can't give birth to it at all … "
Hearing this, Colin could already confirm that the phoenix illusion was the work of the rebel army!
They had used some mysterious method to forcefully increase the bloodline of the child in Aisha's stomach.
Originally, giving birth to a child with the phoenix bloodline was a joyous occasion. However, the problem was that Aisha herself was a half-elf, and such a bloodline that was extremely "lowly" for the High Elves was not enough to naturally give birth to the phoenix bloodline. Hence, to her, the baby in her womb was a huge burden.
If this went on, the child would suck all of Aisha's life force dry. Even if she was a blood descendant, she would not be spared!
So this was the rebel army's real killer move!
Thinking of this, Colin immediately made up his mind and said in a low voice, "Since it can't be born, we'll cut it out!"
Of course, Aisha understood what Colin meant. She knew about the "caesarean section" that Colin had prepared. At first, she thought that Colin's actions were superfluous, but she did not expect it to come in handy now.
"No, don't!" However, Aisha did not agree. She shook her head and begged, "If we do this, our child will die …"
"Don't be silly. If you die, will the child live?"
"We can wait a little longer. I can feel that his breath is stabilizing. Maybe I can hold on a little longer …"
"But Aisha, why do we have to take this risk?" Colin gently kissed Aisha's smooth forehead. "As long as you're alive, we can still have another child."
"But the child we have in the future can't be said to be the old king's posthumous child. His identity …"
"So what?" Colin said domineeringly. "Even if he's an illegitimate child, I can still help him ascend to the half-elf throne!"
"But … But …" Aisha believed in Colin, but as a mother, she could not bear to part with her child.
However, Colin knew that he had to harden his heart and make this difficult choice for Aisha.
He looked at the tearful Aisha and gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, Aisha. We will definitely take revenge for this!"
After saying that, he ordered the three female doctors who were standing at the end of the bed. "Do it. Cut the child out!"
"Earl … Earl …" The female doctor was so scared that her whole body trembled.
"Hurry up!"
"But, but Earl … None of the previous experiments have succeeded …"
Clang!
Colin pulled out the sharp sword at his waist and pointed it at the female doctor. He growled, "Do as I say, or you will be the ones to die!"
The female doctor looked at the ferocious face of Colin and the sword that was almost at her throat. Finally, she gritted her teeth and took out the "scalpel" that she had prepared in advance.
She whispered a few prayers, and then under Colin's urging, she used her trembling hands to cut open Aisha's belly.
