Chapter 239: 239
The next morning, Draco left Zaine's room . Once Zaine had let all her hindrances and hesitations go, she had fully committed to Draco in the same manner as Eva, Hikari and Roma .
As such, Draco naturally became more intimate with her . They didn't do anything sexual - of course - since Zaine could literally start giving birth at any moment, but they spoke deeply for almost the whole night until Zaine dozed off .
Zaine truly felt happy deep down for the first time in a long time . It's not that she had been sad or depressed before, but in retrospect, she had felt strangely dull until she discovered the power of emotional bonds .
Then again, it just might be the freshly acquired obsession talking .
Draco called over Roma, who was now up and about with his firstborn daughter in her hands, as well as Hikari and Riveting Night who were doing their own things .
They all sat outside Zaine's room as the other Grandmaster Midwife and her two wet nurses had come in to prepare Zaine for her own birthgiving process .
Rosella sat in Roma's arms and looked around curiously, her reddish-orange eyes scanning the environment for clues as to why she was here . Hikari held Rila, who also seemed intrigued by her horn .
The White Dragoness seemed utterly depressed by her circumstances . Why did all the children want to pull her horn about? Would her own hatchlings act in the same manner, seemingly trying to turn her brain into mush?
After a few hours, there was some commotion coming from Zaine's room as well . Draco had seeded her with his purest devil blood, minimizing the other aspects greatly, since Zaine wanted a supreme devil child .
Devils were different from demons . Demons boasted immense physical, combat and military might . They were violent, brutal and war-like due to the nature of their home world .
Devils though, were more of a race built around their minds . They had extremely strange abilities, most of them dealing with solicitation, seduction and trickery . They were master of illusions and magical methods related to thoughts as well as emotions .
They weren't like Ultima Sunt who could consume mass and energy like whales to spark growth . Even though the high-tier ones like Zaine could absorb Aether Energy, she had been rendered drunk by just a little of it .
It was unrealistic to expect Draco's second child to be the same as the first in how they were delivered . Rosella had needed all that energy for her bloodline, but this one would suffice with just a little at most .
It didn't mean that this second child would be weaker or lesser than Rosella, only that they had different things they focused on . As such, the birth was silent and more normal than before…
Haha, sike!
Draco and Riveting Night shared a look of surprise . They truly hadn't expected something like this to happen again given their considerations about Zaine's child .
It meant that they had grossly underestimated what exactly it meant to be a supreme devil! After all, Mephisto had been bullied by Nakiu for so long, so Devils couldn't be all that great, right…?
Clearly, this was untrue as the child drew in Aetheric Energy for just as long as Rosella had . Even Rosella, the culprit of the last event, seemed a little startled by this change in atmosphere .
While Ultima Sunt may prefer mass over energy, they could still sense it, and even better than Dragons could . They were just really useless when it came to manipulating the energy around by default .
Everybody waited in silence for a verdict to be passed while the thin Vitae looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown .
Soon, the Grandmaster Midwife came out and smiled happily while bowing . "Congratulations, you have an heir . Your son has come into the world healthy and extremely powerful too . "
"Extremely powerful?" Draco asked with incomprehension .
"Heh heh, come in and see . " The Grandmaster Midwife beckoned them in .
Thankfully this one wasn't as mischievous as the last and she delivered the good news straightforwardly . The whole group filed into the room to see Zaine who was lying lazily her bed .
She was just like Roma, who didn't seem sapped at all . According to Roma, the birth was painless for her because of the Aetheric Energy . It sort of 'yanked out' the baby from her womb, and the same must have been true for Zaine .
When Zaine saw Draco, her eyes lit up and she smirked lightly . She patted the spot beside her for Draco to sit .
Draco smiled and went over . The wet nurse who was holding their son brought him over to his parents .
Draco noticed that the lad also took more after his mother than himself . He had dark-skin that was slightly lighter than Zaine's, but his skin gleamed with a certain sheen .
He was slimmer than most babies who were usually chubby, instead his features were sharp like Draco's and Zaine's . He had her nose and mouth, but had Draco's jawline, eyeshape and general head shape .
The little one's eyes had been closed, but he soon opened them and met the eyes of his father . Draco was surprised to see some intelligence there too, although it was nowhere near Rosella's level .
If Rosella had the intelligence of a teenager at birth, this boy had the intellect of a 5 or 6-year-old child . However, unlike his half-sister, the boy had a playful glint in his eyes .
Draco immediately recognized it as the same type he had whenever he and RamButt were about to do something stupid .
This boy was destined to be a troublemaker of epic proportions, even worse than Loving Aunt, Jada and Sublime Notion combined . He could literally cause an apocalypse and walk away unscathed, with a 'teehee' expression on his face .
Draco smiled wryly as he saw this . It seemed that he would have to be very careful with how he raised this lad, otherwise the world might come to an end before he even had the chance to dominate it .
Zaine leaned over his shoulder and smiled at their son . When the baby saw his mother, all evil fled his mind as he cooed for her desperately .
Draco handed him over to his mother, who held her son with an intoxicated expression on her face . She looked like the type of crazy mom who would refuse to believe that her 'darling angel' could do any wrong .
Honestly, Draco wasn't comforted by this . A crazy mom and a mischievous son made for a deadly combo, especially if both had the potential to become empire-wrecking powers . For now, he could only sigh in lament .
It seemed as if he should make some preparations sooner rather than later in order to fortify the world…
After that, Zaine reluctantly passed over her son to Riveting Night, who also revealed her face to the child . Just like Rosella, this baby boy's eyes bulged from their sockets as he saw his step-mother .
Riveting Night also made a solemn vow to protect the lad regardless of what should come his way, even if she would have to die to do it . The little fellow laughed happily when he heard this, and he knew he would be safe with this beautiful step-mother at his back .
She then passed the child over to Hikari, Rila, Roma and Rosella, who had all come to meet the boy . The little fellow seemed intrigued by Hikari's horn, making her step back while sweating with fear as soon as his tiny arms made grabbing motions in her directions .
He smiled at Roma because she kinda looked like his mother and he seemed curious about Rila, who also inspected him quietly .
As for Rosella, he stared at her deeply and she did same . As children of Draco, they felt their blood roil and call out to each other, creating a certain bond of closeness and kinship .
They giggled happily after observing each other for a little while, making everyone in the room smile . Soon, the Grandmaster Midwife and her assistants left, and Draco paid the bill for the services of the two .
They came from the very same Diad family which had its hands in everything . However, as Grandmasters, their status was something the family couldn't push around, so it was impossible to get a free service . They had already blessed him with their goodwill by waiving the usual introduction fees .
The fellow almost puked blood when he saw that each of them took 100,000 platinum for their work over the past month . If he wasn't a millionaire in terms of platinum, wouldn't he have gone into bankruptcy in order to pay them?
However, he didn't regret it one bit . There were many complications that could have come up for Roma and Zaine since their pregnancies were 'fast-forwarded' by the City-State's boons .
Not to mention the stress that would be put on their bodies . Just getting the right food to supply these babies that were growing at lightspeed in their wombs could floor a person .
It was the same theory as superspeed . Just because The Flash could run faster than anyone didn't mean he ate the same food . More often than not, he ate ten times as much as an average person .
Zaine passed the baton to Draco just like Roma had done . After she let go of all her inhibitions, she was now a psycho for Draco so she trusted his judgment implicitly .
Draco pondered deeply and decided to name the little tyke Loki . The name certainly fit a lad who would become the paragon of mischief .
Loki seemed to like his name and smiled . Zaine also seemed to like it and snuggled her baby boy carefully, which made the little tyke even happier .
