Chapter 124: A Noisy Childbirth

You guys! Dont stagger there, go boil some water or something!

All the guys started to move at once when they heard the midwifes loud words.

In this world midwives have a high status.

Because they deal with all childbirths, their status is strong even against nobles.

On the contrary, if you attack a midwife, youll be in real trouble.

Albert, take care of the water. The Frontier Count and I will standby here after we gather some clean towels. Since only women can enter this room, you should stay here, Suu, and if something happens youll contact me right away.

I struggled to give instructions, my head being still in chaos.

Everyone was walking unsteadily, but it cant be helped.

The damage from sitting in aseizaposition was serious.

While I casted some healing magic on the Frontier Count, the maids came carrying a large quantity of sheets and towels.

Oh, theyre prepared for this.

Your excellency Zest, the news about madams delivery have spread inside the entire palace. You can rest assured and wait here.

I see. Thats very helpful. Ill rely on you then.

I found about this later, but at this time the entire palace affairs were suspended.

The Emperor released an imperial command sayingZests wife is our maximum priority. If anyone intrudes theyll be accused of treason.

..Your Majesty, I wont forget this favor for a while.

Since the maids abandoned their regular work and were helping us now, the Frontier Count and I had nothing to do.

We sat on the chairs prepared for us on the corridor and waited.

Fuu, a childbirth, huh?I cant believe how useless I am in such moments, right, grandson-in-law-dono?

Indeed. If it were a battle, I wouldnt have had problems joining it, but when it comes to this Im completely useless.

We talked as we drank some tea.

It didnt matter that I have a huge amount of magical power, it was still useless for the delivery.

Waiting and praying was quite tough on me.

The Frontier Count and I waited for several dozens of minutes.

The door opened violently with a bang.

Why are you carefreely drinking tea!? Go find a magic user who can use healing magic!! Its urgent!!

The midwife was yelling at us, her expression demonic and her body covered in blood.

Is this. a dangerous situation?

How good a magic user do you need? Or should we bring more than one? Maybe a few high-ranking mages?

A skilled mage is enough. Shes running out of blood, so shes in a dangerous situation right now.

As I thought..

I dont know much about giving birth, but I actually thought it was strange for Bea to bleed that much

Frontier Count, who is a famous healing mage in the imperial capital? Lets hurry and contact them!

Leave it to me. A good former imperial mageAh! Sonia is back on my domain!!We might as well rely on the much-rumored holy woman-donoof the Holy Country of Lilac

My master?Will he arrive in time if we send someone to get him right now?

With the speed of a dragon he actually might arrive in time!?

Albert, where is Albert!?

Albert, this is an emergency. Go to the Frontier Counts domain as soon as possible and kidnap father-in-law Sonia!

Take this with you! This short dagger is the symbol of the Frontier Count. If you show this to Sonia, hell quietly come with you.

Yes sir! Ill take care of it!

Albert took the dagger and started running.

All I can do is rely on him now.

Next, the holy womanBut who is she?

The holy woman-dono? Who is this person!?

You dont know? She built a church on your domain.

Haaa!? That junky is the holy woman!!!

It-it is certain that she has the magical power and the necessary qualitiesFor the time being Ill send someone for her too.

Someone from the maids unit!?

Yes sir! I, Media, am here for you, your excellency.

Media, go bring the junkthe sister from the dukes domain. If you explain her the situation, she wont turn you down. Go!

Yes, I will definitely bring her along!

Shejumped off the window and left.

.This is the third floor, you know? Butshes Media so its all right, I guess.

Since I heard the sound of a flying dragon, I believeshes still alive.

Please, make it in time

While the Frontier Count and I continued to pray, the door opened again.

Mother-in-law Lamia stood here with an imposing stance.

Zest!! Arent you a mage who can use healing magic!? Hurry up and come inside!!

Ah

We were still.everyone was still in a state of confusion.

Midwife-dono, leave the healing magic to me! Ill cast it for an entire day if its necessary!

Leaving your pride aside, hurry up and do it!! Go wash your hands clean first!!

Ah, yes.

Once I entered the room, the battlefield unfolded.

All those sheets and towels that the maids prepared were now completely red.

Bea stretched out on the bed, her face pale.

Bea, Ill never let you die. You can be certain of this.

I spoke those words and released my entire magical power.

I created a mental image where I restored her blood while recovering her physical strength.

I have to save Bea no matter what.

I have to save my child no matter what.

As I prayed for their safety, I employed all the magical power I could use.

Wh-what a magical power.Are you still feeling all right?

Im fine. If this is enough, I can continue to use this kind of magical power for three days straight. You dont need to worry about me. Please take care of Bea.

I continued to use healing magic, as the midwife drew away.

Midwife-dono, this kid has an idiotic amount of magical power, so you dont need to worry about him. Besides, as a mage hes stronger than Sonia, so we can feel relieved.

Hes stronger than Sonia-sama? Ah, so that famous duke is actually this kid? In this case, we can indeed feel relieved.

The tense atmosphere from moments ago was gone now.

What! What are they talking about?

Normally, at this point, I would tell you to prepare for a stillbirth, but with this amount of magical power assisting me.theres no easier childbirth than this.

Exactly as the midwife said, the delivery went on perfectly well after that.

Waah! Waaaah!

Ooh, a healthy baby girl. Moreover, she resembles the madam, so shell be a great beauty.

Bea, you did your best.

Shes born.This-this is my child.

The room resounded with the cries of the newborn baby.

Two hours after I entered the room, the delivery ended safely.

Shes truly the spitting image of Bea. Shell become a very beautiful woman in future.

Shes so warm.Nice to meet you, my cute baby girl.

Bea hugged the baby closely at her chest.

Mother-in-law Lamia watched over them affectionately.

Dear me! Ill be taking my leave now. Congratulations! Im glad it all ended well.

The midwife left the room, her face looking rather tired.

Shes so cute. I want to give birth too.

This feels so good. I must hurry and get married too.

Im.Im..Im so jealous.And I was thinking about getting married as well.

The maids unit was making a racket too.

Fufu, Im glad it all ended safely.

So, son-in-law-dono, how long do you plan on being like that? For gods sake, you became anemic just by watching the delivery.

I feel ashamed of myself.

I laid down on the sofa and gazed at the situation from there.

I actually couldnt take a straight look atthat process.
