Chapter 2532 The Queen's Due Date
The effect of [Arrow of Night] can be divided into two parts. The first part is the attack effect. The arrow can directly break and devour the light, whether it is a gas lamp or the light created by the ring wizard.
This is also the reason why Miss Feliana was able to kill the "Evil Dragon of Light" with one arrow. This magic has an absolute inhibitory effect on things made of pure light.
If the target of attack is not a luminous object, then during the day, "Night Arrow" can produce physical attack effects and dark corrosion effects similar to "Shadow Ball" on the target; at night, in addition to the above effects, "Night Arrow" can also make the target fall into various cursed states such as confusion, blindness, and madness.
The second feature of the magic is that it is fired at an uninhabited area, and the location where the arrow hits will produce a field similar to "night". The field suppresses light, and the duration and degree of closeness to night are determined by the current environment, the spirit consumed by the caster, and the caster's mastery of the magic.
All in all, this complex witch secret technique is very suitable for Shade.
After mastering the magic, Shad took Iluna to Green Island to try it out. It was daytime at that time, and Shad first shot an arrow at his feet, and the surrounding light immediately dimmed. Although it did not completely reach the "night" state, it was enough to make Shad enter the home court.
The evidence is that once entering the dark area created by the "Night Arrow", Iluna said that her magic such as "Light Magic" and "Sunlight Gun" will be affected by the weakening of the effect, but this has no effect on Shad's magic.
In such leisure and busyness, time soon came to the harvest month of 1854 in the universal calendar, and Xia De received a letter from Miss Gold at the beginning of the month as usual.
That was Wednesday, the third day of the Harvest Moon.
Miss Gold didn't mention too many trivial matters in this letter. She just said that she was packing her luggage and preparing to leave when she wrote this letter, and the letter would definitely reach Tobesk within the week when it reached Shad.
So Xia De suddenly became nervous.
At the same time, the major newspapers in Tobesk were also nervous, not because Mia Gold was about to visit Shad Hamilton, but because Queen Diana was due to give birth this week. Since the beginning of the year, she has been pregnant for September, and the new royal family member is finally going to be born.
Since the beginning of the harvest month, all the major newspapers in Tobesk have sent their own reporters to wait for news at the gate of the Yodel Palace day and night. Shade found this very strange:
"The birth of the kingdom's new prince and princess is of course important, but Dorothy and Resia already have so many brothers and sisters. Is it necessary for reporters to wait for news as if they want to grab the front page headlines?"
The blonde writer who was going to stay here tonight said with a smile:
"Shad, this is what you don't understand. The royal doctor examined and thought that this time it was most likely twins. Although they didn't know whether it was a princess or a prince, it was a good sign. There hadn't been twins in Resia's generation.
The king believes that this is a time of turmoil, and this is a good opportunity to celebrate and boost morale. Whether it is twins or twin princesses or princes, the royal family will launch a series of actions in the future, such as directly conferring titles on the twins, such as tax reductions this year, and disaster relief for the city hall, etc. ”
Because Leicia has many brothers and sisters, the princes and princesses are not knighted when they come of age, but get their titles when they get married. According to the royal family, this is to ensure that the title is based on personal qualities, achievements and contributions, rather than simply based on birth status.
Of course, if a member of the royal family has a particularly prominent status or importance at birth, or if they show extraordinary talent and contributions at a young age, they may be considered for knighthood when they are minors, but unfortunately, except for her eldest brother, no one in Leicia's generation has this honor.
"Conferring a knighthood directly on a newborn child? It seems that the conflicts at home and abroad are really about to be uncontrollable. Leicia's two younger brothers were born at a turning point for Draerion."
Shade sighed and handed his course report that needed to be polished to Dorothy across the desk, who continued:
"The financial statements for the first two quarters of this year that Lecia saw were not good. Moreover, the weather this year was so extreme that a poor harvest this fall is almost certain. If you don't go shopping, you don't know the current food prices. I think the problem will be even worse in winter."
"So, have you decided what titles the unborn twin princes will be given?"
Shad asked again, and Lesia and Carina had heard him tell them that Queen Diana was pregnant with twin princes, and Dorothy also knew:
"Isn't your report a little too concise, Xia De? You can get a higher score if you write more. The princes who are about to be born have so many older brothers and sisters that they cannot be counted in the inheritance.
In addition, the public cannot be allowed to think that the princes obtained the title simply because of their status, so this time they were only granted the title of 'Viscount'. As you know, members of the royal family rarely get the title of viscount, and they usually start as earls.
Leicia heard from Carina that one is the Viscount or Viscountess of Wizards of the Coast, and the other is the Viscount or Viscountess of Memphis. Both places are in the south of Tobesk, very close to your 'Ryjad Town'.
"So what are the names of the two children?"
"Well, let me ask. Oh, Leisia said no one has mentioned this matter yet."
Shad originally thought that the birth of the princes had nothing to do with him, and that he only needed to clean up the house and wait for Miss Gold's arrival. However, he did not expect that early in the morning of Thursday the next day, Carina would come to his house in person, holding Shad's hand and asking Shad to go with her to the Yodel Palace to visit the queen:
"Wait, I want to go too?"
Xia De, who was still eating breakfast, was a little surprised. The Duchess frowned and said:
"Of course we have to go. All members of the Cavendish family have to go. Who doesn't know the relationship between you and me? I even lived in your house some time ago. If you don't go this time, people will gossip."
"You got it backwards. No, I have no objection to going with you, but you know Miss Gold will be here any minute."
"It's okay. I asked Leisia to invite Dorothy to your place. She will be here soon. Dorothy will be at home during the daytime these days. If Miss Gold really happens to visit you when you are not at home, our writer will entertain her. Don't take Mia to Yodel Palace. Pregnant women cannot come into contact with cats."
"Meow~"
The cat, who was eating with his head down, meowed, and Carina told Tifa behind her to quickly bring the maids to change Shade's clothes:
“The due date is tomorrow, Friday. You have to wait with me in the Yodel Palace during the day for the next two days to ensure that we can both be present for the birth.
Don't think this is for my sake. If you show up in front of my nephew more often, when you propose to Leicia in the future, at least he will remember that you have been involved in our family activities for a long time."
The maids came over with clothes, and Tifa came with a tie. When they were changing Shade's clothes, they didn't interrupt the conversation between Shade and Carina at all, so they were really professional:
"I know I will have to explain this to your nephew Larousse III sooner or later, and I will be responsible for all of you, but okay, I understand, I will go with you. Hopefully the babies will be born safely and everything will be alright."
"Don't say that until the kids are born. Oh, Tifa, change your tie, I don't like this color. Shade, I'll be staying at Yodel Palace these nights, but you can come back, but don't sleep too much and stay tuned for news."
If she and Shad had not been officially married yet, she should have kept Shad in Yodel Palace as well.
Thus, the outsiders were involved in the birth of the new members of the royal family. Although he was forced to participate in something that had nothing to do with him, since he was accompanying Carina, Shade would not complain.
Even when he was bored, he would think that maybe he could hug the two princes. That way, when they grew up, he could also say, "Oh, I am your Uncle Hamilton. I hugged you when you were little."
[Are you sure it's "uncle" and not "brother" or "uncle-in-law"? ]
“That’s a real problem.”
But in fact, except for the time on Thursday when Chad was taken by Carina to meet Queen Diana, he never saw the Queen again when she was about to give birth.
During the day, he and Carina were in the Duchess's office at the Jodel Palace, drinking tea and reading newspapers, or helping the Duchess deal with some unimportant documents. During this period, Resia and Ajelina also came once or twice, but they didn't have time to chat with Shade.
Carina was not always in the office. Although the princes were about to be born, the operation of the country could not stop. When the Duchess went out to do business, Shad was left alone to flip through the books. Although he always liked reading, it was really unbearable.
He even tried to play Rhodes with himself, which made Shade feel like the most leisurely person in the palace.
There was no news on Thursday, and Xia De went home to rest that night. On Friday, the due date, there was no news of the birth the whole day. But when the time passed midnight and it came to Saturday, Xia De, who was sleeping soundly, was chasing Emilia who was gradually going away in his dream, when he suddenly heard someone calling him:
"Shad! Shad! Wake up! Open your eyes and don't sleep!"
It was the writer who was sleeping in the same bed with him who was calling Shade. The blonde girl in her pajamas had already turned on the gas lamp at the bedside:
"Hurry up and change your clothes. The carriage is here to pick you up. Leicia told me that she's about to give birth! Get up!"
PS: Today is the last day of April, please vote for me!
There will definitely be more updates tomorrow on May Day!
