In a middle of the cold winter night, a hill of snow were seen from afar yet behind the huge hill of snow, you could see a very luxurious manor with a pond as its been long cold and been harden by the low temperature. Lilies and some frogs were frozen on the spot as they suffers from the cold harsh winter below the traditional bridge that connects the two pathway where the patriach and his wife usually walks every morning and night.
Pixies lights four magical firefly that could lit and warms the whole area, as some busy themselve with maintaining the needs of plants, warming them a bit so that the fruits will be sweet and has a lot of mana for the pregnant woman, the wife of the patriach of this manor.
But let's not focus there.
A red velvet-y long haired man walks back and fort rather anxiously while he bits his thumbnail. His navy blue robe embroided of a dragon serpent that seems to swim on the clouds as it stays feircely on the back. The white blue-ish clouds that matches perfectly the navy blue silk robe as it also enhance the feirceness of the golden threads of the embroided serpent. His flat lush red hair complement his handsome face, high cheek bones and sharp jaws whilst his eyes was hooded in attractive way. But what really stands out amongst his appearance was his cold dark orbs that once looks so deadly and stern were now filled with worry. His usually stern and annoyed facade were no longer to be seen as he anxiously looks at the barriered door infront of him while his second in command and the maids also look at the door worriedly. Wondering what is happening inside the said room.
This will be their first time that someone tooks so long to give birth. Mother's usually give birth around 30 minutes before the child comes out yet it almost took them 2 and a half hour and still didn't here any cry of a baby but his wife as she curses here and there whilst she screams her dear life by she pushing the baby out.
Unbeknowst to them, the lady's face that supposed to be fair white and almond eyes of green-amber was now close tight with her lashes touching her cheeks as she blushes furiously while sweats traces down her face and neck. Her black hair sticks to her forehead as she cries in pain while her midwives helps her. A young lady next to her whispering nothing but encouraging words such as' you can do it! Your daughter would be so .beautiful when she comes out' and'your daughter also cant wait to see her mother, you can do it!' as she also helps the mother practice her breathing exercise. An old lady in front of her as she cheeks the head of the child that was about to come out while a girl in her 30's helps Liana to push the child out through pushing her bump.
"Push! You can do it Liana, just a little more push" The old midwife said as she occasionally checks the opening where you could find a small bloodied head that was about to come out. Liana pushes the child out with her might while the haggard looking bun hairedlady helps her by pushing the bump gently. This process repeats for another half an hour and soon after a loud and very lively cry was heard throughout space whilst the room of the stench-y of blood and urine fills the room. Though the women inside didn't mind any of it at all as they congratulate the exhausted lady whos laying on her bed. Her eyes were heavy as she struggles to stay awake, because of exhaustion, whilst she heaves multiple times to recover her breath.
The midwives congratulate the exhausted lady as the old lady washes the baby with warm water, hushing down the crying baby with a smile. Her eyes teary in happiness while she wraps the crying baby in pink soft towel as she walks towards the exhausted and half awake 'mother' and bent down so that the mother could see how beautiful her daughter is. The exhausted mother seems to brighten up and regains her energy with just the sight of her daughter. She hush the crying baby as she wipes the water from its forehead as the baby soon quiet down, recognizing the person who held her as her mother. Liana examines her baby lovingly as she felt happy that her baby got her buttoned nose and soft pinkish cheeks rather than her father's all tan skin with a pinch of pinkness , all looking stern and cold. Her lashes were red whilst her hair were also velvet red like her father,but wavy as the ocean waves. Her skin were soft and smooth to touch as she got her mother's porcelain skin tone. The baby's eyes were also almond like her mother's as she open her eyes while her thick red lashes that fans as her mother gasp once she saw her almond lavander eyes. Her eyes is abnormal!
"Esme, is something wrong with my daughter's eyes?" She ask the old midwife with her eyes full of worry as her perfectly trim eyebrows knit together. The midwife only smile at her as she looks at the 'mother' assuringly. Her name is Esme, she's one of the oldest staff in the manor as she's been with the Lady, Liana, since she was just a baby. Even though the fact that she's already in her 100's she still looks like as if she's in 60's. Alas! The cultivation of magic in this realm really tricks your age.
Her sweaty and bloody clothes disappears as she change her dress into new ones in a snap. Sprinkle of glitter scatter around her after as some colourful pixie fixes her hair. Now she looks like a Headmaid instead of midwife because of her green silk kimono robe– that she wish/prefer to wear that Lady Liana approves of–with patterns of flowers at the hems of her dress while her hair were in clean braid with no jewelry or anything on her head as she wore nothing on her face but a cream that keeps her wrinkles in check, whilst the other two midwife have lighter green plain robes but you can still see that their Mistress pamper them because of the jewelry they wore on their head, A pin of the gold and silver on their clean bun that each has a designs of flower and small silver marbles that attached the flower and the pin. The two maids bows their head slightly but keep their eyes on the floor in respect as they let the headmaiden and the mistress exchange their words.
"There's nothing wrong with her eyes, Mistress Liana. In fact her eyes are gifted by the heavens because the beholder of violet eyes perish long time ago. Anyone who has this kind of eyes were born powerful that I am sure that the young mistress will be someday." Esme says excitedly as her eyes sparkles at the thought while she daydreams of how she will train the young mistress someday. True to her words, a very long time ago where violet eyes dominates the world as the world fillex with most powerful cultivator, men and women were both equals as long as the other have both violet eyes. It was believed that violet eye beholder were ones the protector of the world as they become known around the 13 realms and became nobles and heroes. Some believed that they once become king and queens because of their pure intentions and their strengths. It's just that one of the 13 realms around the universe envies them and start to slaughter and kill them into instinction that no-one ever survive. It is still mystery nowadays on which realms envied and kills them because the 13 realms around the universe didn't seems to care about the violet eyed beholder.
"Though, My mistress, we still have to be cautious we cant afford that one of the 13 realms notice the Young Lady! It'll be very dangerous for us." Esme says with determination in her voice as she look straight in the eye of Liana. Seeing how serious and determine of protecting her daughter ,her most trusted staffs and a friend(slash like a second mother)of hers that even the two maids also dare to look at her with the same determination, makes her eyes teary as she smiles gratefully at them. She wipes her tears and looks lovingly at her daughter in her arms, craddling her softly as she hums lullaby
"I think I should let Master inside, He's been knocking and 'scratching' the door with his sword as soon as he heard the baby's cry" Esme said with a chuckle as she shakes her head. She puts the barrier down around the room, and the door, as a man with red velvety long hair stumble clumsily inside as he meets the ground with a loud thus, as if he'd been pushing the door since earlier as it just happens that the barrier's been put down.
He grunts in pain as he looks up to see his wife holding a pink blanket between her arms and chest whilst he saw two small hands of a baby waving its hands for attention that it's mother didn't gives. The man's eyes becomes heart and full of excitement as he saw his wife holding their baby. His eyes locks at the pink blanket as he froze in the spot with his mouth hang open while his face made multiple of expressions that you could find ridiculous once you saw it but his usual dark cold orbs says otherwise, instead his eyes were filled with emotions of adoration and love as his usual cold orbs turns warm whilst he look at his wife then to the child she's holding then to his wife again and back to pink blanket again.
"Master Oswald, are you just going to sit pitifully there or what?" Esme says teasingly as her expression planted of amusement as she looks at him. The man named Oswald, seems to be awaken from shock as he hurriedly went besides his wife, almost stumbling and meeting the ground again but he manages to balance himself again, whilst his silky robe sways gracefully as he walks. His eyes full of unshed tears as he smiles down at his wife as he kisses his wife's forehead then cheeks multiple times, thanking her for giving him such a beautiful daughter as he praises her of how she still look good after giving birth saying that 'if I were in your situation, I'm sure I'll look really terrible, this proven that you really are a goddess in disguise' – making the people who saw the scene chuckles at their Master's antics. He kneels down on the ground to level the height of his cute baby daughter as he kisses her cheeks gently, looking at her with love as his heart fills with heavy warmness. Emotions of happiness and adoration scattered his whole being making him shiver whilst his unshed tears pours down heavily, tracing his tan face that was usually tense of either sterness or emotionless he always wear whenever he face someone else besides his wife. He sobs and trembles in happiness saying thank you to his wife as he wraps his arms around her small waist making the people inside also have unshed tears of happiness in their eyes while others shamelessly cry with their master, yet their face didn't show a hint of sadness but happiness was very evident on their faces, wide smiles planted their face whilst –some of them– cries their heart out of overwhelming emotions.
Oswald Census, known for being cruel and heartless when it come to battle— with cold and deadly eyes that once you look in the eyes, that could become your worst nightmare. Known for being a number one coldhearted swordsman in their country, here now... kneeling on the floor with his arms wraps around his wife's small waist crying like a kid while saying 'thank you' repeatedly like a powerful magic chant of happiness he invented. His daughter giggles at his antics making him froze in the spot again as he looks at his daughter with red puffy eyes whilst his daughter laughs at his antics.
"Right? Your daddy looks funny ridiculous today." She says as she hums in agreement making her daughter giggles cutely even more. "I think your daddy will cry the whole day and will forget to name you, tsk tsk." She tsked as she looks playfully at her daughter making the baby giggles again as they both soon look at the man with a plain expression that tells him 'you'll really wont name her now?'
The man stood up as he sits down besides his wife,kissing her forehead as he fixes her hair. "Her name will be Aadya" he says softly as he leans his forehead with his wife as they embrace each others presence. "Aadya? What does that mean?" She ask her husband softly as she close her eye, loving the feeling of her husband's warmth that surrounding her as she held her baby lovingly whilst baby ' Aadya' looks at her two parents confusinly.
"Aadya mean a strong elegant woman and gifted, which I thank the heavens above for giving me such a gift ....as I knew that she'll be very powerful someday" he said as he whisper that last part so that he and his wife would only hear it. He knows about the eyes of her daughter as he sneakily put an invisible barrier when he says the last part.
"That's a very good name" Liana says with a smile. She let's go from her husband's warmth to kiss her daughter's forehead as she stare at Aadya lovingly. "Fron now on you'll be Aadya, Aadya Census!" She says as she raise her daughter up to the air using her magic to make her float steadily. All the staff kowtow with their heads planted on the ground as they let their magic free that immediately surrounds the whole space making Oswald quikly made a barrier so that the magic wouldn't escape.
"The 3rd Generation of the Census name, will be the heavens and earth bless you to your last breath of thee, will be always on the right path and aoth to protect the land you grew with and become wise and powerful! Heavens shall bless this child" Liana says with powerful voice whilst she gather all magic around her as she gently let it surrounds her daughter's floating body which glows a little, signalling that she accepts the blessing as the magics slowly and gently went inside Aadya's body.
Giggling here and there at the ticklish feeling.
"Heavens shall bless this child!" The people inside the barrier chant for the last time as they let Aadya suck in their magic as her glowing light that surrounds her body repels slowly as she gently landed on her mother's awaiting arms, sucking at her thumb as she waves her hands at her father, trying to reach his velvet red hair that Oswald gladly gives making the chilf squeal in happiness.
The birth of MC has happened and now shall continue her awaiting journey.
