Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 75 Silver Twins
"Your Highness, the situation is not very optimistic." Dr. Vesalius came out with a sigh. Time did not leave many marks on his face, but made his already long and messy beard even longer and messier. "Although the lady did not give birth at the most dangerous age and her physical strength is still good, she is pregnant with twins after all."

Before the old doctor finished speaking, a heart-wrenching scream broke out in the delivery room. Hearing this, Longzel's heart trembled. "Who is in there now?" His feelings for Diana were actually quite complicated. Rather than love, he and Diana were more like friends and partners, but in the past few years together, both sides gave each other enough respect and help. At least they are very happy now.

Until Diana became pregnant, gave birth, and fell into severe pain.

"Lord Zesar, and Lady Leila, Your Highness. The only way for Madam to calm down now is to hold Lady Leila's hand." Dr. Visari glanced at the delivery room nervously. Diana's screams were heard again. The birth of twins made it impossible for the mother to give birth standing up. She could only lie on the bed and endure the severe pain.

"Brother." Layla Celtigar rushed out with a serious face. Compared with Valar who loved dragons and weapons more, Layla gave her husband enough respect and love, but she preferred to be with the gentle and intelligent Diana. The two girls soon became very close girlfriends, often inspecting the construction site of Midsummer Hall together, reading together in the large library of the Laurel Tower, and reviewing the family's account books together. And now they go to the delivery room together to accompany each other.

"What happened?" Longzel asked hurriedly.

Leila shook her head. "Both children are healthy, but too healthy. Lord Zelsar dared not use the anesthetic from Yidi. He was worried that excessive anesthesia would harm the fetus and that the mother would not have enough strength to complete the birth."

"Is there any other way?" Longzel looked at the delivery room anxiously. Diana let out another weak wail, and Leila hurried in again.

Diana lay weakly on the delivery bed, with turbid blood still flowing under her body. The fine beads of sweat made the whole white dress look like it had just been washed. Several midwives were busy changing clean silk cloth and hot water. Zhesar Shadowweaver assisted Diana in the delivery with a serious face and several burly midwives. Seeing Leila coming in, Zhesar frowned and greeted her, lowering his voice and asking, "Does Your Highness accept that method?"

Leila didn't bother to pay attention to Zelsar, she rushed to Diana's bedside and held her hand. "Sister, we are all here, hold on, we are almost there."

Diana gasped and said weakly, "Lonzel, Longzel, ah!" The intense pain overwhelmed the little bit of anesthetic that Zesar had just fed her, and Diana couldn't help but clench her hand around Leila.

"Aa ...

"Zesar and I have prepared a last resort, Your Highness." Dr. Vesalius whispered outside the door: "Open the pregnant woman's uterus and take out the fetus. The Citadel's method is not safe, but Zesar's oriental medicine is said to increase the survival rate of pregnant women."

"What are you talking about?" Valar resisted the urge to grab Dr. Vesalius' beard. Rey looked at the old doctor expressionlessly: "Doctor, do you want to kill my sister-in-law?"

"I dare not, but this is the last resort." Dr. Vesalius said, "The fetus is healthy. We can guarantee that the fetus will survive after the operation."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Longzel said coldly, "Go prepare the brazier."

Dr. Vesalius was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed out with two midwives. No one knew how he could run so fast at such an old age. Dr. Vesalius rushed to the corridor and shouted to Hoffa who was standing guard at the door of the corridor: "Hoffa, prepare the brazier." The two midwives rushed out without stopping.

Hoffa immediately motioned to Ago to stand in the middle, and rushed down the stairs. A moment later, he and two midwives rushed up the stairs holding a brazier.

Longzel signaled the two midwives to put the brazier in the delivery room, picked up a piece of charcoal in the middle, and lit the fireplace in the room.

"Your Highness, the smoke from the fireplace." Zelsar instantly realized what Longzel was going to do, and immediately continued to assist Diana with several midwives.

"Longzel, save me. Save the child." Longzel's figure was reflected in Diana's hazy eyes, and her voice was as small as a mosquito's buzz.

"Don't worry, you will be fine, and neither will our baby. Don't forget, I'm still a blood witch." Longzel lay on the delivery bed, gently wiping away the sweat for his wife, and placed his other hand on his wife's round belly. Silver blood slowly flowed out from his fingers, fell on his wife's belly, and slowly seeped in. Diana suddenly felt the twisted pain that seemed to hammer her internal organs gradually subside. Relieved, Diana finally let go of Leila's hand. "Leila." Longzel tilted his head slightly, and Leila understood what her brother wanted to do, and obediently retreated to the window.

Longzel shouted at the door: "Vallar, Silverblood!" Vallar followed Dr. Vesalius and rushed in breathlessly, handing the Valyrian steel sword Silverblood to his brother. Longzel gently wiped the sword and immediately put his cut palm on the brazier. Dr. Vesalius immediately joined the midwifery. The blood dripped into the brazier, and the flames instantly rose, and the flames in the fireplace also stretched out their tongues of fire. After a while, the flames seemed to come alive, one, two, countless fire lines came out of the flames like worms, and slowly crawled towards Diana's belly. Diana's eyes widened immediately.

When the first line of fire merged into Diana's belly, she felt her belly was warm, as if something was swimming inside, and the pain of childbirth was reduced like ice and snow under that warmth. The lines of fire slowly merged into the pregnant woman's womb. Diana suddenly felt an indescribable fatigue that instantly occupied her brain.

"Don't sleep." Longzel continued to control the line of fire with one hand, and with the other hand he grabbed Diana's hand and pressed it against his lips. "It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon."

"The baby is out, the baby is out!" the elderly midwife shouted excitedly. "The boy is out first!"

Turbid blood gushed out, and the midwife picked up the wrinkled baby and handed it to the doctor and the pharmacist for care.

"Wow!"

As soon as he was patted, the child let out a powerful cry. His slightly opened eyes revealed a deep purple color, and there was silvery-white fur on his head.

"It's a healthy boy, Your Highness, you have an heir!" Zesar and Dr. Vesalius skillfully cleaned the baby's body and cut the umbilical cord.

On the other side, another child was successfully picked up by the midwife. "A girl!" The midwife's voice could be heard almost throughout the corridor.

"Valar, I'm an uncle!" Rey almost jumped up in excitement. "Am I not?" Valar punched his brother and almost squeezed into the room together.

The girl's head was covered with silver-golden fluff, and she was screaming loudly. Dr. Vesalius skillfully cut the girl's umbilical cord and looked at Diana, who was already exhausted. "Madam, the children are all healthy. To be honest, I have never seen such healthy newborns."

"Let me see the baby, let me see it." The old man and another midwife hurriedly brought the baby to Diana. Diana smiled and touched the noses of the two children, then her hands fell weakly. Zelsar rushed to the bedside.

"Zesar, don't worry, Diana is just too tired." The wound on Longzel's palm had healed. He teased the two children with a smile and whispered, "Take Diana to another clean and warm room. Remember to change her into clean clothes."

"Understood." Everyone present nodded.

"Brother, what should we name the baby?" Lei Yi came over. "Have you decided?"

Longzel nodded, but his eyes could not leave the two wrinkled babies. "The boy will be named Ringol. This is the name of the 'Lost Dragon', the greatest patriarch of the family, the 'Bronze Dragon King' Ringol who once served as the Archon of Old Valyria. The girl will be named Samantha. This is Diana's wish."

"Good name." Valar nodded.

Just then, the voices of Jakaris and Lusiris were heard from the corridor.

"My lord, the dragon eggs have hatched!"
