Newborns were ugly.
However, it was not enough to scare the experienced female doctor.
However, she could not help but tremble as she held the baby girl in her arms.
This was because the baby girl did not cry.
The female doctor lifted the baby girl by her feet and slapped her back repeatedly, but it was to no avail.
The delivery room was dead silent.
The doctors and maids here were of course "veterans" with rich experience in delivering babies. They might not understand the scientific principle behind the crying of newborns, but there was one thing they were very clear about —
A baby that did not cry was a dead baby!
Colin stopped the doctor who was still slapping the baby mechanically and ordered, "You may leave."
The doctors were relieved and hurriedly bowed and left, as if they were afraid that Colin would suddenly change his mind.
Aisha had already fainted, but that was only because she did not have enough energy. Her life was not in danger.
What Colin was really worried about was his newborn daughter.
Although he had already made the decision to "save the mother" when he ordered the doctors to perform a cesarean section, he also realized that it would be difficult for his daughter to survive if she were to suddenly leave her mother's body with an unstable bloodline.
However, when he saw the wrinkled little life in front of him with his own eyes, the feeling of being connected by blood still made Colin's heart tremble, and he could not control himself.
At this moment, there was only one thing in his mind — to save her at all costs!
However, what surprised him was that his child with Aisha was not a blood kin.
Therefore, Colin immediately thought that if he were to turn her into a blood kin now, would he be able to save her from this near-death state?
However, what made Colin hesitate was that if he were to bite his daughter now, she would only become a blood thrall and not a blood kin.
This was because Colin could only turn a knight into a blood kin.
Obviously, this newborn baby girl was not a knight. Even if he immediately found a priest to baptize her, it would be too late.
However, Colin only hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and biting.
Even if this child became a blood thrall, it would be better than becoming a corpse.
However, the development of the situation once again exceeded Colin's expectations. When he bit open a wound on his daughter's small neck and sucked some blood, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a suction force coming from his daughter's wound!
Colin was overjoyed at this unexpected good news!
This was because he knew that this was a unique process of The Embrace Ritual to transform a blood descendant. Transforming a blood thrall would not cause this kind of reverse suction.
But the problem was that his daughter wasn't a knight. How could she trigger the conditions for The Embrace?
Could it be because of her special bloodline?
Colin suddenly realized that perhaps the trigger for The Embrace was not a profession, but a bloodline.
Could it be that the bloodline of the Knights was somehow similar to the Phoenix bloodline of the High Elves?
While he was thinking, Colin's blood flowed into the baby girl's body through the fangs.
Slowly, wisps of blood-red smoke floated out of their bodies. These wisps of smoke seemed to be alive, condensing into mysterious and profound patterns in the air.
In his daze, waves of low and deep voices that sounded like sleeptalking reverberated in Colin's ears.
…
Outside the Half Elven Palace, the battle was still going on.
However, the Blood Cavalry had already gained the upper hand. They were reducing the space for the Silver Moon Guard to move. At the same time, they were trying to save the burning granary to prevent the fire from spreading.
However, at this moment, a slim figure suddenly appeared in front of the palace gate.
"Stop!" An officer of the Blood Cavalry rode forward and stopped the woman.
Although the half-elf woman in front of him looked weak and posed no threat, the fact that she could pass through the chaotic Silver Moon City and come to the palace alone while facing the murderous Blood Cavalry showed that this half-elf woman was definitely not simple.
"General, I'm the Grand Priestess of the Temple of Fate in the Silver Moon City. I want to see Count Angele." Trisili took off the thin veil on her face and said in a clear voice.
The officer did not know Trisili. Her beautiful face under the thin veil made him lose focus for a second. However, he quickly recovered and said in a cold tone, "Sorry, Grand Priestess.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency High Priest. The Count has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the half-elf palace!"
Trisili did not give up after hearing the officer's words. She continued, "General, it's about the life of the Queen and her baby. Please make an exception."
The officer frowned and hesitated for a second. He said, "Please wait for a second."
After saying that, he rode back to the palace.
After a while, the gate of the palace opened again. Knight Roger rode his horse to Trisili and questioned, "You said that the Queen and her baby are in danger?"
"Yes." Trisili said with certainty, "If I'm not wrong, the Queen should be having a difficult labor now."
Knight Roger looked at the Grand Priestess in front of him and nodded, "Alright, follow me."
Trisili smiled and jumped onto a warhorse handed to her by a soldier. She followed Knight Loki and galloped into the depths of the palace.
Just as they were about to reach the Queen's chamber, a loud cry of a baby suddenly sounded and spread through half of the palace.
Hearing this sound, the courtiers, guards, and maids in the palace all shouted excitedly. A festive atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire palace.
Only Trisili's expression changed greatly, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Knight Roger was also immersed in this intense joy, so he didn't notice that something was wrong with Trisili.
By the time he turned around, Cui Sili had already put on a warm smile and congratulated him, "Your Majesty, congratulations on your successful delivery! Since that's the case, there's no need for me to disturb her. "
However, Knight Roger was keenly aware of the Grand Priestess's abnormality. He immediately smiled and said,
"Grand Priestess, since you're already here, you should at least meet with the Queen and the Count. Please wait a moment, I'll go inform them."
After saying that, Knight Roger ignored Trisili's urging and strode into the chamber.
… …
In the chamber, Aisha was also startled awake by the baby girl's cries. She struggled to get up and weakly called out:
"Colin, where's our child … …"
"Don't worry, she's here." Colin gently picked up his daughter and placed her in Aisha's arms.
Aisha took the baby girl who was still crying. Her face was instantly filled with tears of joy.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Colin's heart was filled with warmth.
At this moment, he felt that his connection with this world had increased by another layer. There was one more person in this world that was worthy of his protection.
However, this heartwarming moment was interrupted by a series of footsteps.
"Sir, there's a Grand Priestess of the Temple of Fate outside requesting an audience." Knight Roger loudly reported through the curtain.
"No." Colin replied without turning his head.
At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to some Grand Priestess.
Knight Roger did not leave and instead spoke again: "Sir, this Grand Priestess once said that the Queen's labor would be dangerous."
"Oh?" Colin's interest was piqued.
At the same time, he also thought that the Grand Priestess of the Goddess of Fate might be related to that Phoenix projection.
Perhaps, Aisha's difficult labor crisis was caused by this guy, which was why she appeared in the palace so coincidentally.
But why did she walk right into the trap?
Thinking of this, Colin narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint could be seen in his eyes.
"She's still outside?"
"Yes, she seemed to want to retreat after hearing the baby's cries, but I didn't let her leave."
"Very good!" Colin kissed Aisha's and his daughter's foreheads and gently said: "You two have a good rest, I'm going to settle the score with a certain someone."
Aisha lightly nodded and said: "Hm, but you have to be careful. This Grand Priestess Trisili's background is mysterious, she might not be easy to deal with."
Colin stood up and coldly said:
"Don't worry, no matter who did this, they will pay the price."
