Chapter 1254: Heather Gives Birth, Northern King Has Offspring
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even to this day, Braydon Neal continued to protect them.
If it weren’t for the Northern Army and its men, Braydon would have departed the 16th ruin upon learning of the Oracle Palace’s intentions.
The Oracle Palace wouldn’t have been able to catch up to him in the outside world.
Braydon would have been absolutely safe there.
Upon returning to Hansworth, Martial Emperor Yanagi would spare no effort in safeguarding Braydon.
The Sovereign Lord of the Heavenly Mountain, the Sword Immortal of Mount Sino, and the venerable figure of Kylo would all offer their protection to Braydon.
Yet, in the end, Braydon chose to depart with the Oracle Palace.
Braydon desired for the Northern Army, which he had painstakingly built, to establish its presence in the ruins.
Everyone would rise to prominence, living for 500 years, and in the ensuing centuries, they could reminisce under the moonlight about the joys of life.
On that same day, in the capital city of Hansworth, the palace was heavily fortified.
Nearly all the hidden agents of the Northern Army in the capital had shifted to the outer perimeter of the palace.
A myriad of hidden agents crisscrossed, forming a defensive barrier.
The capital garrison was on high alert, imposing martial law throughout the palace grounds.
No one was permitted to enter or exit, and all communication was intercepted.
Outside a small courtyard, Sutton Wall stood with a trace of concern evident on his face.
Marvin Townsend, head of the dark division, Dominic Lowe, head of the cabinet, Zavier Leach, the military master, Sawyer Quail, the martial master, and Kieran Normand, the weapon master, all arrived at the courtyard.
“Elder Wall, how is she?” Marvin inquired as soon as he arrived.
“Her water broke in the early hours of the morning. She’s on the verge of giving birth,” Sutton reported.
“May the ancestors bless us. May both mother and children emerge unscathed!”
Dominic prayed fervently to the divine beings.
Kieran’s head was throbbing.
He grumbled, “Stop your incessant nagging. You’ve been at it since we left. Isn’t it enough to drive one mad?”
“Am I annoying you? Given the Northern King’s temperament, if anything were to happen to this mother and children today, we might as well prepare our own coffins for burial!”
Dominic retorted, his eyes wide with alarm.
“There’s no need to rush,” Zavier said calmly. “We’ll wait outside. Whatever we require, we’ll procure it from the national treasury. Nothing can afford to go wrong.”
“The birth of the Northern King’s legitimate son will surely draw the attention of all the major martial arts factions in the country,” Sawyer softly reminded.
Marvin’s tone turned cold. “If they dare to make any moves, they’re asking for their entire family to be wiped out. Once the child is born, he’ll be the young master of the Northern Army, born into n.o.bility. If any martial arts families dare to harm him, whether they are hidden agents or retired martial artists of the Northern Army, they’ll seek revenge relentlessly!”
“No one ever said the commander lacked an heir. Once he has a successor, it will be the future hope of the Northern Army.”
“Destroy the hope of the Northern Army? Who dares?!”
…
Marvin was a great hidden agent of the Northern Army.
Coincidentally, at that moment, the sound of a baby crying echoed from the room.
The cries were loud and clear.
“She’s given birth!” Sutton and the others glanced toward the room in unison.
“It’s a boy!” the midwife inside the room announced joyfully.
“Excellent!” Sutton exclaimed from outside the door. “All the midwives will be rewarded handsomely today!”
As he spoke, another cry filled the air.
Braydon’s daughter had been born.
The firstborn boy became the older brother, while the girl born later became the younger sister.
Before the midwife could report the good news, a loud thud was heard from the room as an iron basin crashed to the ground.
The midwife’s panicked voice followed, “Blood! Her Highness Heather is bleeding profusely!”
Sutton and the others outside were shocked and alarmed.
Marvin, unable to enter the room, shouted angrily, “What’s happening inside? Why is there a sense of danger?”
“Winnie, Quina, what’s the situation inside?”
Sutton remained the calmest amidst the commotion.
Having overseen the palace for decades and weathered numerous crises, he had been by the Martial Emperor’s side since Braydon’s childhood.
He calmly inquired about the situation inside the room.
With a crack, the door swung open, revealing two silver-haired old women dragging a middle-aged midwife along with them.
These women were Winnie and Quina, two ninth-level kings personally selected by Sutton.
While ostensibly a.s.sisting, their true purpose was to safeguard Heather Sage, who was left vulnerable after childbirth.
Sutton’s cautious nature left no room for error, yet today someone had attempted to harm Heather during her most vulnerable moment.
The two old women bowed slightly as they addressed Sutton, “Chief Walls, Mrs. Loera tried to attack Her Highness with a dagger while she was weak, endangering both her and the children.”
“Take her away!” Sutton’s eyes flashed with anger.
“Leave her to me,” Marvin interjected coolly.
“Understood.”
Sutton recognized that interrogation was Marvin’s forte.
As the head of the dark division, Marvin excelled in a.s.sa.s.sination, interrogation, and intelligence gathering.
Moreover, being from the Northern Army himself, it was fitting to entrust the interrogation of the a.s.sailant to someone with familial ties to the victim.
With a subtle wave of his hand, Marvin summoned two dark division experts.
“Take her away, deal with her severely. Spare none of her kin!”
His gaze was steely, reflecting his unwavering resolve.
As the chief, Marvin was not one to show mercy, especially when it came to threats against the Young Master of the Northern Army.
Today’s attempt on the Young Master’s life was a direct affront to Marvin’s authority, a challenge he would not take lightly.
The dark division’s prior investigation had found no wrongdoing with the midwife.
It appeared to be an unfortunate accident.
Those responsible for her background check would likely face severe consequences if any issues arose.
In the event of a mishap, they would pay with their lives for their negligence.
Thankfully, the children remained unharmed.
Had anything happened, Marvin would have been unable to atone even with his own life.
Heather’s postnatal hemorrhage posed a grave threat, but the palace was well-prepared with various medicines to address emergencies.
Despite the silence within the palace, news of Heather giving birth to twins quickly spread.
Even the Northern Army in the 16th ruin received the news promptly.
Luther Carden and his companions had little time to celebrate before heading to take control of the remaining 35 aboriginal cities.
With the divine decrees Xetsa Yeza had given them, facing manpower shortages, the ten lieutenant commanders of the Northern Army were dispatched.
Luke Yates had received a divine decree to oversee a major aboriginal city.
Before Braydon’s departure, he issued a secret directive: summon the Northern Army sons to the 16th ruin.
Among them were notable figures like Westley Hader, Hendrix Bailey and Jonah Shaw.
Lazlo Abbott, Lester Crawford, Cartley Yanagi, and others also entered the 16th ruin, along with Cora Yanagi, leader of the Phoenix Army.
With over half of the Zunde Royal Dynasty’s territory now under the Northern Army’s control, the Northern Army could antic.i.p.ate a steady influx of resources in the coming years.
