In the blink of an eye, five months had passed since Lalith became pregnant.
The country has developed steadily in the past five months, there have been no more waves from the dragon clan, and the elves have also recently started trade. In addition, a large part of Barnet's territory in the east has been annexed by Northgard.
So far, everything is going well.
This morning after breakfast, Nora suddenly showed signs of labor.
Reiner hurriedly carried her into the prepared delivery room and held Nora's hand tightly.
Nora is timid. Although she has made full preparations, she still can't stop being afraid at the moment before giving birth and must have Reiner by her side all the time.
More than an hour later, as the baby cried, Nora collapsed on the delivery bed, and Reiner breathed a sigh of relief.
Daisy held the swaddled baby and whispered, "Thank God... Master, it's a girl."
"It's okay, it's okay." Reiner waved his hands, used water magic and fire magic to create some warm water, and then fed it little by little to Nora who was lying on the delivery bed.
Perhaps because she had activated her talent before, Nora's pregnancy went smoothly and she gave birth in less than two hours.
Noila raised her hand and said breathlessly, "Mom, I want to see the child..."
Daisy handed the baby to Reiner, who took one look at it and then handed it to Nora.
It's really strange that this little cat girl has a layer of soft black hair when she is born, which covers the cat ears on her head and looks quite cute.
Nora held the child in her arms, closed her eyes, and sniffed, as if she was recording a message.
Reiner praised: "This child is really cute, but not as cute as my wife Nora."
Nora slowly opened her eyes, gently peeled the swaddling clothes open a little, and saw the tail behind the child: "I inherited all my characteristics..."
"Very good, cute." Reiner wiped the sweat from Nora's forehead.
Just then, there was a knock on the delivery room door.
Reiner covered the quilt and said softly, "You can come in now."
Martina couldn't wait to break open the door and rushed in like a bandit.
She ran quickly to the bed and stared at the baby in the cradle with wide eyes.
Even though the child hadn't opened his eyes yet, he was still frightened by the loud noise and burst into tears...
Junice reached out and pinched the horse's ear: "Martina! You scared the child!"
Martina shrugged disapprovingly and then asked, "Female or male?"
Reiner reached out and tugged at her cheek: "What do you mean by male or female...it's a female."
Martina pouted, and she suddenly felt a little sad as she lay on Reiner: "Wow, why is Nora pregnant, Paige and Laelis pregnant, but I don't have any reaction at all? Wow!"
"This thing depends on luck... Don't rush, don't rush, you are still young, take your time, baby." Reiner reached out and touched her ear.
Martina cried and wailed, "It's been five months and I still haven't reacted at all. How can I not be anxious... You are not allowed to sleep at least once today..."
Reiner pinched her nose and complained, "Another few times..."
At this moment, Peggy also came into the delivery room with her big belly. She was already eight months pregnant.
In just over a month, I will be preparing for the birth.
She poked the child with her finger, then sat in front of Noila and asked softly: "How is it? Are you okay?"
Noila shook her head and replied weakly, "Not at all, it hurts so much, like a knife cutting me... I feel like I've lost half my life.
But after I got through it, I was no longer sick, and now I have almost recovered..."
Peggy lowered her head slightly, her expression looking somewhat grim.
She quietly grabbed Reiner's hand.
It was obvious that she was frightened by Nora's words.
"My benefactor... I'm afraid..."
