Chapter 2488

"Meow~"

The cat by the pillow, sleepy-eyed, watched Xia De get up quickly, change his clothes, and run downstairs. When it walked down the stairs slowly with its cat steps and tail swinging to the downstairs entrance hall, it saw Dorothy kiss Xia De's forehead under the light of the entrance hall.

Green eyes looked at him:

"You've really worked hard these few days. It clearly had nothing to do with you, but you were still made busy. The Day of Red Butterfly was this Monday, but Rhesia didn't have time so it hasn't started yet. After this matter is over, let's have a happy date for a day.

Um, although the probability is very small, if you need to take photos in a while, remember not to stand behind Galina, otherwise you will look shorter than her."

She draped a cold-proof cloak over Xia De—although this was completely unnecessary for Xia De. It wasn't until Xia De boarded the carriage that came running at the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.

She stood at the door draped in a cold-proof robe and waved goodbye to the carriage that went far away. At this time, the neighbor's door next door also opened, so Dorothy asked politely:

"Sir Smith, you haven't slept so late?"

The former Chief Secretary of the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance was wearing pajamas and a somewhat childish nightcap:

"Reading a book tonight, well, waiting for news of those two new Viscounts in Yodel Palace. When people get old, they can't sleep if they have things on their minds."

The old man also looked at the carriage that carried Xia De away:

"Miss Louisa, is it..."

"Yes."

Dorothy nodded:

"The Cavendish family is about to add new members."

The carriage running wildly carried Xia De and quickly entered Yodel Palace, and it was clear that there was more than one carriage driving from all over the city. And the reporters guarding the gate of Yodel Palace also knew that the new prince and princess were about to be born, but these people were not very important. The truly important reporters had long been invited into the interior of the palace.

Tifa was waiting for him where Xia De got off the carriage, and then regardless of etiquette, she took his hand and ran in Yodel Palace. In fact, there were quite a few people running wildly here at this time.

Of course, they didn't go directly to the delivery room—Xia De didn't have this "honor"—but first went to meet Galina, and then sat down in the study with Galina, who looked dressed like she was about to give a public speech at the parliament.

Only then could Xia De catch his breath, and he asked:

"In such a hurry to get me here, don't we go to the door of the delivery room to wait?"

The Duchess elegantly held a porcelain teacup and looked at him with strange eyes:

"Don't you realize that we are the elders? Even if someone needs to go to the door of the delivery room, it's definitely not us. The children about to be born are not worth this treatment yet. Asking you to come quickly is because I'm afraid you will be blocked at the door and can't get in in a while. Or, do you want to be asked by those reporters when you and I will get married?"

She signaled that Tifa could rest for a while and let another maid, Miss Martha Maclaff, pour tea for Xia De:

"You can 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 slept."

Xia De emphasized, took the teacup and thanked her softly, and took a sip of tea before feeling completely awake from his dream:

"I never knew that giving birth to a child was such an important thing. I'm afraid that even if the royal family has new offspring born, there won't be such a big movement, right?"

Galina's eyes were a bit hazy:

"The birth of a child represents the continuation of the family, which is the most important thing for everyone. New blood means new possibilities. The regrets of one's own life, one's own unfulfilled ideals, and things one missed can all be grasped 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. Megan and Audrey's ancestor Laplace Klein Howard understood this very well."

Xia De knew that the red-haired Duchess in front of him probably thought of the fact that witches cannot give birth again. Just as he was about to say something to prevent her thinking from further diverging, someone knocked on the door. After Tifa answered on her behalf, Angelina walked in.

The little princess was also dressed very formally:

"Good evening, Aunt Galina, good evening, Xia De. Can I wait here with you?"

Although it was an inquiry, she sat down directly, so the maids prepared teacups for her. It seemed that the little princess was a bit unhappy.

"Angelina, don't you need to wait at the door of the delivery room either?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Angelina nodded unhappily:

"They don't let unmarried princesses go there, saying they are afraid that the painful screams during childbirth will scare the young girls, so only the married sisters and adult brothers can go."

She felt this was very unfair, after all, Angelina considered herself very mature:

"I have already experienced many big things, I am not afraid of these."

Galina 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."

Angelina immediately closed her mouth, first cast a look for help at Xia De, and then sat there obediently drinking tea.

"Time is really wonderful."

Although Angelina stopped talking, Galina was still looking at her:

"Many years ago, I also waited for the birth of a new younger brother or sister with a complicated mood like Angelina now. Happy that I had new relatives, uneasy about the impact of the appearance of new family members on my status. How many worries we had in our girlhood~

Now I look at Angelina, just like seeing the past me. Angelina, you still don't understand what new family members mean, you still don't understand..."

"How about we talk about something positive? Galina, if you want to return to eighteen, when I have enough spirit, I can try it with a new fairy tale lock."

Xia De proposed:

"I can reverse the time of the whole city, individual individuals are definitely no problem."

"I don't need to return to eighteen, I am always eighteen."

The witch said unceremoniously, Angelina tried hard to keep herself calm, fortunately they didn't continue this topic.

"Where did Rhesia go?"

Xia De asked again, and only then did Angelina say:

"Sister went to receive the Duchess of Minsk and the Duchess of Dodge. You know, we have many relatives."

"After a few years, you will also have such tasks. Time is really wonderful~ Cherish the present, Angelina. Everything can be found again, only time cannot be found back.

Even if we return to girlhood relying on the knight's magical little ability, our thoughts will eventually not be able to go back."

The witch tonight was exceptionally sentimental, but Xia De knew why she was like this, so he would definitely not say extra words. He moved closer to her on the sofa and then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and the red-haired witch leaned on his shoulder as well.

Afterward, they continued to chat about the relatives of the Cavendish family. This chat lasted for another fifteen minutes, and even Angelina knew that the waiting time was a bit too long.

So Tifa took people to check the situation, and soon brought back news that was not very good:

"The delivery room is still giving birth, it seems not very smooth."

"When the doctor checked, didn't he say the fetal position was very correct?"

Galina frowned slightly, and seeing Angelina was a bit nervous, she comforted her again:

"Nothing will happen. I remember you also tossed for a long time when you were born. Now aren't you also growing up smoothly, and even started snatching men with your sister?"

Xia De asked:

"If it's really a difficult birth, do the royal doctors know how to perform a cesarean section?"

"Cesarean section? That kind of surgery with a high mortality rate? I think even if someone masters it, they dare not use it. The probability of massive hemorrhage and infection is too high."

Galina shook her head again. Although the technological level and medical level of this era were slightly higher than the appearance that the steam era should have due to the appearance of supernatural beings, for this era, cesarean section was still extremely rare.

Angelina looked even more nervous. She wasn't this nervous during the Battle of Moon Bay. After all, Xia De was there at that time, but now Xia De couldn't help.

And although Galina comforted Angelina, she also looked a bit anxious. This could be seen from her right hand constantly tapping the armrest of the sofa.

Tifa continued to take the maids to inquire about the latest news. Although Xia De didn't go out, he could also feel as if the entire Yodel Palace was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Saturday morning should have been the quietest time in the city, but the brightly lit Yodel Palace involved the hearts of I don't know how many people. At 0:37, Galina, who was really worried, got up and went to see the situation herself, but she asked Xia De and Angelina not to follow:

"Xia De, you watch Angelina."

"Xia De, can we use the power of Ringed Shushi to save mother and younger brothers?"

After the door closed, the little princess asked Xia De pitifully. Xia De looked at her without speaking, and Angelina knew what he meant:

"I know, letting ordinary people who have no connection with the supernatural stay away from supernatural power is the responsibility of every Ringed Shushi. If we were an ordinary family, we would have saved them, but we are royalty."

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 divine for mother. When I was in Moon Bay, Matilda, the head maid of the Countess, taught me divination, but I probably didn't learn it."

She was doing what she could do clumsily, and Xia De also helped her straighten the cards. Compared with Luweiya and Miss Belindell, the little princess's divination skills were of course very crude, and she was even stumbling when shuffling cards.

Finally, she picked out three cards, one symbolizing mother, one symbolizing the children, and one symbolizing the overall result of this matter.

Even if Xia De didn't understand divination very well, he felt that her method was very wrong, but he was still willing to accompany Angelina to flip the cards.
