Outside the castle room.
From the moment he heard the baby's first cry, Clive began to pace back and forth.
He didn't know what was going on inside and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Thor was not in a hurry. Irene had also told him implicitly that Lingling was extremely special, and he believed in Lingling's abilities.
Finally, a second cry was heard, and the two knew that the birth was successful.
Clive was about to rush in, but was stopped by Thor's glare. He had no choice but to suppress his excitement and wait for the door to be opened from the inside.
After a while, the two midwife elves came out happily holding the baby. Lingling walked slowly with her short legs, and only after they came out did she slowly poke her little head out from behind.
As soon as she saw Thor, she stretched out her arms and asked for a hug.
"Uncle Sol, Lingling is sleepy and her legs are numb."
Thor picked up Lingling with a distressed look, and without even looking at Clive, he turned around and wanted to take Lingling back to the room.
After Lingling was picked up, she called out to Thor and looked around with her little head turned.
"Uncle, Lingling, please take a look at the baby before you leave."
She didn't even have time to look at the two babies in the room just now.
Thor paused, then carried her swiftly to the two female elves.
Lingling peeked out.
Eh~ Eh~
Well, it’s so ugly!
The newborn baby has a wrinkled face and red body, which is indeed not good-looking.
Seeing her ugly face, Thor secretly laughed, and without any explanation, he turned around and left with Lingling in his arms.
"Okay, baby, you saved the baby, now it's time to go to sleep, or you won't grow tall."
Lingling was still looking at the two newborn babies. Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from them, she reluctantly looked away, lay on Thor's shoulder, rubbed his neck, and fell asleep in a short while.
It was the middle of the night and I was indeed a little tired.
Seeing that Lingling fell asleep after just two steps, Thor quickly put the quilt over her little body.
Arriving at his room, Thor gently put Lingling down and waited patiently for a while. Seeing that Lingling showed no signs of waking up, he closed the door and went downstairs.
......
Downstairs, Clive and Cynthia were leaning on the bed looking at their children with happy faces.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Clive was puzzled, but still went forward and opened the door.
"Elf King!" Clive exclaimed softly.
"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Thor's expression was indifferent.
"No, I just didn't expect you to be still awake so late." Clive replied carefully, looking at his expression.
"I'll talk to you for a few minutes and then go back to rest." Seeing that he looked afraid of him, Thor didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Oh, okay, please come in."
As he spoke, Clive led Thor into the room.
The room had been cleaned at this time, and the two newborn babies were placed in two cribs that had been prepared long ago and were sleeping soundly.
Cynthia leaned on the bed and looked at her child with a happy face.
When she saw Thor, she lifted the quilt and wanted to get down to thank him, but was stopped by Thor.
"No, I'll just say a few words and leave."
Cynthia was uneasy, she felt that what Thor was about to say might not be something good.
Thor didn't waste any time and began to explain his purpose.
"Cynthia, I once saved your husband at your risk of his life, and now I'm saving you for the sake of an innocent child. Both times I took action, it was not my will, and I am very unhappy."
Cynthia's face turned pale, and Clive beside her clenched his fists.
"You're an elf who's willing to do anything for love. I'm not saying I'm against you two being together. If there's no child issue, and you two love each other and live your own lives, I won't discriminate. I know there are still many interracial couples out there."
"However, no one is as pushy as you. I don't know if you told Clive that you couldn't have a child, but the fact is that you did get pregnant, and you came to me again when you were about to give birth."
"You might think I'll be soft-hearted and save you like last time, but you're wrong. But you're extremely lucky to have met the soft-hearted Lingling."
"Now that you have achieved your goal, you must pay the price. Hand over your life card to me."
Cynthia looked at Thor, her body shook violently, then trembled slightly. She took out her life card from the bedside with stiff movements and held it tightly in her hand.
"I changed the formation outside after Clive returned. Without the Life Card, you will never be able to find the elves again. I will also tell the tribe members not to help you enter. From now on, you will have nothing to do with the elves. You chose the path, and you must bear the consequences."
Thor stretched out his hand, motioning her to give him the life card. Cynthia looked at the children and Clive, and finally handed it over with extremely stiff movements, but her fingertips were white and bloodless.
"I won't hold an elven inheritance ceremony for your child, but when she grows up and has her own judgment, if she still chooses to return to the tribe and become an elf, I will accept her. But before she reaches adulthood, everything depends on you."
After saying all this, Thor looked at Clive with a complicated expression. "I'm not entirely sure how difficult it is for someone of different races to fall in love, but as a husband and a father, I hope you can shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. I don't know how much you've learned and grown from your two weeks of forest training. You were born into the water, and now that you've come ashore for Cynthia, you need the skills you need to protect your wife and daughter."
As he spoke, he took out the things that Clive brought out of the forest from the space ring.
"This is your spoils. If you trade them, it should be enough to support you for a while. Since you have the courage to fight against everything, I hope you will have the strength to fight against everything. I agree to let Cynthia rest here for two days. After two days, you can leave. I never want to see you again."
As he said that, Thor picked up Cynthia's life card and left the room without even looking at Cynthia who was crying.
Before closing the door, I seemed to hear Clive's voice coming from inside.
"thank you."
Standing outside the door, Thor, in a bad mood, teleported to the garden.
Looking at the flowers whose colors seemed to have dimmed a lot in the night, he let out a long sigh.
He didn't know whether what he did was right or not, but as the Elf King, he absolutely could not encourage this kind of trend.
The temptations from the outside world are already great. Now it seems that the husband Cynthia met is indeed a reliable one, but not every elf can meet a good person. Elves are born beautiful, and most of the time they meet people with bad intentions.
So, he thought, he had done nothing wrong...right.
Yes, you should. You did nothing wrong.
