Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 44 The Powerful Baby

dusk.

The setting sun filtered through the stained-glass windows, casting slender shadows on the wooden floor of the library.

"Mrs. Danielle, are you sure you want to give me this treasure?"

Xia Mingyu looked at the crystal clear blue crystal emitting an icy cold air in the wooden box in his hand, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

With the knowledge he had gained from reading books these days, he could naturally judge that this was a magic crystal, and it was most likely a high-quality magic crystal. The wisps of cold air leaking out were undoubtedly the best proof.

"For you, Your Highness, this is not a treasure. It is just a blessing given to me by my mother." Danielle smiled slightly.

"I know you are studying magic, Your Highness. This magic crystal should help you go further on your path of magic. Please accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyu fell into deep thought.

He felt the abundant magic power in the blue magic crystal, looked at Danielle's expectant face, and finally decided to accept it.

After all, the most important thing for him right now is to improve his strength, and this magic crystal will undoubtedly greatly speed up his career as a magician.

"Mrs. Danielle, is there anything I can do for you?" Xia Mingyu hesitated for a moment and said calmly.

He still understands the interpersonal relationships between people.

"Ah, Your Highness, you are so polite. It is an honor for me that you accept my gift. How can I expect anything in return?"

Danielle didn't accept it at first.

It was not until after a struggle that she finally revealed her true intentions.

"Your Highness, my little Haydn has been born for more than two months. I heard that if a baby is looked after by a noble person, he will grow up healthy and happy, so I think..." Danielle looked at Xia Mingyu's face and said cautiously.

"If it is convenient for you, Your Highness, could you please go and see my little Haydn?"

"Let's go now." Xia Mingyu said lightly.

He thought it was something tricky, but it turned out to be just looking after a child.

"Your Highness, thank you."

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Danielle's pretty face, and she bowed deeply.

Nursery room.

Xia Mingyu tiptoed to the crib, afraid of disturbing the sleeping little one inside.

He looked inside and saw a tiny baby curled up in a white swaddling cloth in the soft candlelight, its light blue hair glowing warmly in the dim light.

His little face is round and chubby, and his pink lips are slightly pouting.

"It's much prettier than I imagined." Xia Mingyu was a little surprised. He knew that most babies would be a little ugly because they were just starting to develop, but the baby in front of him already looked very cute.

"Your Highness."

Danielle next to him was about to speak, but was stopped by Xia Mingyu's gesture of silence, so she shut her mouth obediently.

At this moment, the baby seemed to have sensed the visitor and suddenly moved. Its tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of clear purple eyes, like flawless amethyst.

This scene immediately made Danielle's heart rise to her throat, and her hands unconsciously clenched together.

Because the most common thing babies do is cry, it often takes a long time for her to be comforted before they calm down.

But the person standing in front of the crib now is His Highness.

Little Haydn, you must not cry. Seize the opportunity your mother gives you and leave a good impression on His Highness!

Although she didn't speak, Danielle kept shouting to her child in her heart. Little Haydn blinked when he woke up, his eyes fell on Xia Mingyu, and suddenly his mouth opened to reveal a toothless smile.

"Ah!" Little Haydn made a soft sound and waved his chubby little hands in the air.

The adorable scene of this human cub instantly melted Xia Mingyu's heart. He couldn't help but stretch out a finger and gently touch little Haydn's face.

"Yeah!"

As if he thought Xia Mingyu was playing with him, little Haydn grabbed Xia Mingyu's finger and giggled.

Awesome Haydn!
Danielle praised her child crazily in her heart. She felt that if a normal baby's performance was ten points, then her little Haydn would be at least one hundred!

This is not just grasping His Highness's finger, this is clearly grasping the future!
After a moment, Xia Mingyu gently pulled out his fingers and left the nursery with Danielle.

"What a cute child." Xia Mingyu smiled gently.

This time it was not a lie, but he really felt so.

He originally didn't like children, but any normal person would like such a well-behaved and cute baby who doesn't cry or make a fuss and loves to laugh!
"He is rarely so friendly to strangers. It seems he must like you, Your Highness," Danielle chuckled.

"Oh right, little Haydn's strength."

Xia Mingyu suddenly remembered that when his finger was grabbed just now, although it was very slight, he could indeed feel a little pain.

This strength should be normal for an adult, but for a baby who is more than two months old, it is a bit too scary.
"Little Haydn even broke the wood in his crib. The nurses were afraid to feed him. He would only calm down when I fed him."

When she said this, a gentle smile flashed in Danielle's eyes.

"It was later determined that little Haydn was born with the gift of immense strength."

Enci Xia Mingyu recalled that he seemed to have read in a book before that there are very few people in this world who, in addition to the protection of their identity and profession, also possess some special abilities.

This ability is hailed as a gift from God and can bring people all kinds of wonderful and incredible abilities.

The gift of immense strength is undoubtedly a gift from God.

"It seems that little Haydn's future will be extraordinary!" Xia Mingyu exclaimed.

His strength as a baby was comparable to that of an adult, so he couldn't imagine how strong he would be as an adult.

"Haha, little Haydn's future will indeed be extraordinary, but not because of his gift, but because..." A hint of cunning flashed in Danielle's eyes.

"Because of your wise words, Your Highness!"

"I believe that with your words, Your Highness, my child will thrive and achieve great things in the future, kneeling before your throne."

Danielle leaned forward and bowed deeply.

At night, the bright moon hangs high.

The top of the bell tower.

"That woman is really willing to give up!"

Iris sighed as she looked at the blue magic crystal in the wooden box that was emitting bursts of cold air.

"This magic crystal is worth at least three gold sols!"

"So much?" Xia Mingyu was surprised when he heard the price.

After all, the tax revenue of Guolan Village for the whole year is only twenty-one silver soles, which is equivalent to almost half a gold sole.

There must be hundreds of people in Guolan Village. It would take six years of labor for hundreds of people to exchange for this magic crystal.
Xia Mingyu deeply felt the terrifying consumption gap between the aristocracy and the common people in this world.
