More than an hour passed, and Robyn was still in labor. I still accompany her.
I will do anything to make this birth successful.
Robyn took a deep breath and didn't push anymore.
I then turned my head to Lexi, who was still facing Robyn's lower body. The doctor gulped, raised her head, and shook her head.
"I am happy, my lord." Robyn's voice became increasingly low and barely audible. Her eyes were also almost closed. "This is your baby too, my lord…. She will give you something extraordinary…."
I stood up and let go of her hand. This is indeed very unfortunate. One of my most loyal retainers will lose her life.
But to be honest, this will not affect what I build.
"Lord Vorn….." Robyn had closed her eyes, and her breathing was getting weaker.
Another nurse came into the room and whispered something to Lexi. The doctor then stood up and approached me.
"That elf mother gave birth to a healthy child, my lord." She whispered to me. "We did it."
"Let's go there then." I walked out of the room, not looking back at Robyn.
Once in the hospital hallway, I glanced at Lexi, who looked sad.
"It's an unavoidable sacrifice, Doc," I said. "We will continue to meet something like that to reach higher things."
Lexi took a deep breath. "I know."
Karl and the aides who followed me stopped when Lexi and I entered the room at the far end of the hall.
I found the elf girl I met earlier sitting on a chair, holding her mother's hand. That woman, who had just given birth, looked tired, but her mouth formed a faint smile.
A nurse gave me a baby with blonde hair. White cloth wrapped her body.
"Is she a girl?" I asked.
The nurse bowed. "That's right, my lord. She is very healthy."
I looked at that little creature, who was sleeping. She reminded me of the fairy that I had defeated before. Their faces are very similar.
"You've done a good job, Dylia." I smiled back at the mother elf. "I will give you an extraordinary gift. You will get the biggest house in this place, equivalent to the generals."
The elf mother stroked her daughter's head. "Thank you, my lord. But perhaps it would be better if all of that was allocated to my daughter and her friends. They are the ones who make my daughter's life so much better."
"I hear you feed them sometimes, and they often play at your house, right?" I continued. "How about they come with you to the new house? They seem very fond of you. They already think you are their mother."
"Again, thank you, my lord." She smiled again and turned to her daughter. "Did you hear that, Noel? Your friends will now become your brothers and sisters."
The little half-elf smiled.
"But before that, I will tell you one thing." I continued to hold the baby fairy. "This is not your daughter."
"I know, your highness." She nodded, and her smile still lingered. "Since I agreed to this, I know the consequences. I never considered her as my daughter."
"Good. I'll arrange everything, then." I found that the baby had opened its eyes. "Now, I will…."
I paused, approached the window, and found that a tree was growing fast outside.
"It's already started." I hissed, then walked out of the room.
"Is it over?" Karl asked, and I ignored him. All that was on my mind was to see what was going on outside.
"This…." Lexi gasped as soon as we left the hospital. Trees started growing everywhere, but they didn't appear on the street or in the house. Those plants seemed to know which parts they should not grow.
I looked at the baby fairy again, who was laughing.
In a very short time, this complex became very lush with trees.
However, all these trees are ordinary and produce nothing.
"Hey, you." I pointed at a man looking around confused while carrying an apple he had bitten. That man immediately bowed as soon as he realized my call. "Put that thing down, but not on the road.
That man quickly stepped aside, then obeyed my orders. And just as I expected, a tree emerged from that fruit. That thing's stem rises upwards while its roots firmly grip the ground.
Not long after, red apples grew on the branches of the tree.
I handed the baby over to Lexi, then jumped up and picked one of the apples. That fruit looks redder and bigger than any other apple in this world.
Then, as soon as I took a bite, I felt incredible sweetness and freshness.
Still holding the baby, Lexi approached me. "So, we will take this baby to the elf city?"
I jumped in to pick some more apples, then gave one of them to Lexi. "We'll take her there in a bit. Then we'll bring the elves here."
Although this is my personal mission to them, I cannot just give up resources. I want this city to be the best compared to other areas.
It will only enhance my image as a leader. They'll see this city is impressive and think I'm qualified to run the government.
"Are you also coming to pick up the elves, my lord?" Lexi hissed.
"Of course." I smiled. "The baby and I will come straight to them. With me around, they take me very seriously. It will be easier for them to fulfill my orders."
Lexi just looked down, and I rubbed her head.
"You said it's safe for me to teleport, even though my body is still deteriorating, right? So, this won't be a problem."
"I'm just afraid that you will encounter strong enemies. It is very safe here because there are many strong warriors." The doctor gulped. "In that condition…. Ah, forget my words, my lord. Be careful on the road."
She already knew I would not change my decision.
"Don't worry. In that elf city, I have also stationed strong warriors." I whispered so the others wouldn't hear. Not all residents of this city know my situation. "I will be fine."
"That trip can't be done soon, can it?" Karl approached us. "That would require some time-consuming preparation. While we wait, how about we go through the documents, my lord?"
What a way to ruin the mood.
