Colin fell silent.
For a while, I didn't know how to comfort Vera.
So he is also very curious about who Vera's biological mother is, but with the death of Marquis Garcia, I am afraid that this will become a mystery that will never be solved.
Perhaps the previous Duke of St. Hilde and Queen Midella might know about it, but they are gone too...
"Are you tired? Shall I take you back to the house to rest?"
Vera shook her head, tightened her arms around Colin's arm, and said:
"I'm not tired. Walk with me again."
"good."
Both of them stopped talking, just walked quietly on the promenade.
The quiet and warm atmosphere circulated in the air, smoothing Vera's frowning brows.
Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Colin just wanted to turn around with Vera, when she saw her pointing to a small independent loft in the distance, saying:
"Colin, let's go and see."
"Okay." Colin said and took off the cloak on his body, wrapped it around Vera, and then led her out.
The attic is located in the northwest corner of the castle, in a very remote location, completely separated from the main building complex. The mottled outer wall is covered with dense ivy, and even the wooden door has not been spared—
From this point of view, no one has been in here for a long time.
"What is this place? An abandoned warehouse?" Colin asked.
Vera shook her head: "I don't know either..."
Seeing the thoughtful expression on her face, Colin asked:
"What's wrong?"
Vera looked at the attic in front of her with confused eyes: "I've often dreamed about this place recently, a red attic, but it doesn't look so old, it should look like it was before it was abandoned..."
Colin laughed and joked, "Did you play here when you were young?"
Vera didn't smile, but just shook her head with a complicated expression on her face.
Seeing this, Colin waved to the attendants following him.
The attendant quickly stepped forward and saluted:
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"What is this place, do you know?"
"This is a ward, but it has been abandoned for a long time."
"Ward?"
A vague idea flashed through Colin's mind like lightning, but before he could think about it, Vera beside him let out a cry of pain.
"oops-"
"What's wrong?"
"Little guy is dishonest..."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Vera tighter, and said:
"Let's go back to the house."
Vera nodded, but just after walking a few steps, she clutched her stomach and cried out in pain again.
Now Colin is not calm: "Could it be that you are about to give birth?"
"I'm afraid... yes..."
Seeing Vera crying out in pain, with fine beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, Colin quickly picked her up by the waist, and ran to the main castle, shouting loudly at the same time:
"Quick! Go and get the doctor!"
Now the quiet Lion's Roar Castle suddenly became lively.
However, as Vera is the Duke of the North, Lion's Roar Castle naturally made sufficient preparations for her birth very early on.
So although it was a bit hectic at this time, on the whole, everything was going on in an orderly manner.
Ke Lin stood outside the delivery room, more excited and excited inside, but not much nervous.
After all, he had already experienced it once in Silvermoon City.
Moreover, with the previous experience, he was more fully prepared this time.
Even the half-elf female doctor who gave Queen Aisha a caesarean section was invited by Colin to Lion's Roar Castle in advance.
If something unexpected happened, she could do the same to Vera.
Vera, like Queen Elsa, is of blood descent, so she doesn't have to worry about excessive blood loss or infection caused by the rough medical conditions of this era.
So, Colin is not worried.
As the news spread, a large number of St. Hilde family members gathered outside the delivery room, but Colin thought they were noisy, so he drove them away again.
But not long after, another figure came over.
This time, Ke Lin did not drive the other party away. After all, it was Vera's grandmother, Mrs. Yelena, who came.
The old lady leaned on crutches and walked over tremblingly with the support of her servants, her wrinkled face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Colin stepped forward and bowed:
"Old lady, why are you here?"
Mrs. Yelena walked towards the delivery room, and said to Colin:
"Don't think I can't walk, but I have a lot of experience in this area, and I can help."
Of course, Ke Lin couldn't refuse the old man's kindness, so he could only watch her enter the delivery room.
As time passed, Ke Lin watched the maids come in and out delivering various things, and listened to Vera's painful cries in the delivery room, feeling a little anxious.
Will it be difficult to give birth again
As soon as this idea came up, I saw a maid running out in a panic, trembling and saying:
"My lord... ma'am, she... child... comes out feet first..."
Sure enough, it was difficult to give birth.
Colin sighed secretly, but he was not too nervous, turned around and walked in.
The delivery room is already in chaos, this situation is very dangerous in this era, no wonder everyone panicked.
And Mrs. Yelena is still adding to the chaos, I saw her throwing herself on the bed, crying:
"How could this be! How could this be! My poor child! My poor Midella..."
Colin's eyes flickered slightly, as if he realized something, but the situation didn't allow him to think too much, so he immediately said loudly:
"Don't panic! Old madam, please go out and wait."
Mrs. Yelena still refused, and just hugged Vera and cried.
Ke Lin was upset when he heard that, so he had to force the maid to carry her out.
After the room became quiet again, he ordered to the half-elf doctor:
"let's start."
Due to his successful experience, the half-elf doctor took out his tools without any hesitation this time.
Colin stepped forward and kissed Vera on the forehead, comforting:
"Don't be afraid, bear with it, it will be fine soon."
…
The news of Vera's dystocia spread outside, and the entire Lion's Roar Castle was immediately enveloped in a tense and restless atmosphere.
Some people began to pray, some were at a loss, and some people's eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking...
But it didn't take long before a loud cry of a baby broke the stagnant atmosphere in Lion's Roar Castle.
No matter what they thought before, everyone showed excited smiles at this moment and cheered loudly.
In the delivery room, Ke Lin carried the crying little guy to Vera.
"It's a boy."
"Yeah." Vera hugged the child tightly, with a happy smile on her face, "Have you decided on a name yet?"
"Well... let's call it Caesar."
"Caesar?" Vera looked at Colin curiously. "This name doesn't seem very common. How did you think of it? Does it have any meaning?"
Colin laughed and said:
"It means that he is a born king!"
