The candlelight is bright, illuminating the side hall of the goddess and the woman moaning in pain on the white bed. The faint smell of oil candle, the pungent alcohol smell, the unconcealable smell of blood, the smell of anxious sweat, and the soothing smell of divine smoke all diffused in the side hall together, like an ominous surrounding.

Priest Yin Tuoya finished his speech in a low voice, looked at His Highness with red eyes, then immediately lowered his head and remained silent. At this moment, a feeling of facing a dangerous beast hit her heart, as if in the deep night, she encountered a jaguar that was suffering and was about to explode.

Shulot pursed his lips and tightened his fists, seeming to be on the verge of eruption, and roared silently for a long time. However, the terrible outbreak finally did not come. After a long while, the silent Highness exhaled a long breath and let out a painful sigh.

"Huh! Destiny! My child! . . . "

"His Royal Highness Xiulot?"

"Master Yin Tuoya, the matter has come to this...then please make sure to save my woman!"

"Ah? Witness of the Lord God! Do you want to choose an adult?"

Hearing such a choice, the officiant Yin Tuoya's face instantly showed a trace of astonishment. She hesitated for a while, and asked again cautiously. Because the current choice is of great importance, she has to obtain His Highness's personal promise, and try to avoid possible anger afterwards.

"Your Highness... this child is a baby boy, the blood of the royal family and you. If you choose an adult, we have to sacrifice this prince to the goddess, and then dismantle his divine remnant bit by bit. Take it out... During the sacrifice process, the mother may also bleed and cannot survive. And even if she survives, she will often lose her fertility..."

Priest Yin Tuoya suppressed his voice and cautiously advised. Two steps away, the head of the guard, Eckart, stood by and kept his head down. Although his eyes changed, he never said a word.

From a practical point of view, in the "snail shell", it is naturally more difficult to take out the baby's baby with restraints than to open the abdomen directly. And in terms of risks afterwards, sacrificing an ordinary commoner woman in the choice is far safer than dismembering a revered royal bloodline with one's own hands. Similarly, in the other dystocias that Yin Tuoya had encountered, the usual practice of the great nobles was to choose to keep the blood of the family...

"Master Yin Tuoya! This is my choice, and it is my royal order! Don't tell me, are you disobedient?"

Shulot interrupted sharply, his eyes became dangerous. Priest Yin Tuoya just looked at each other, and immediately fell silent. She bowed her head respectfully, and promised obediently.

"Follow your will, Your Highness! Since you choose to give up the baby, we will give the mother the powerful and cherished obsidian knife water! Her pain will be relieved quickly, her whole body will relax, and the rhythm of childbirth will be relieved. Will stop because of this... Goddess bless, we will definitely do our best to save your woman!"

"...Go get ready!"

Hearing such a promise, Xiulot nodded. He waved Yin Tuoya to make preparations, while he stood still, silent, looking at the woman in pain on the bed. However, the woman suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the shout just now. She tried her best to raise her head, looked at the figure of His Highness standing far away, and called out with difficulty.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!..."

"I'm here, Naxiu."

Hearing the woman's call, Xiulot finally took a few steps forward and came to the woman's side. He pursed his lips, squatted down, and reached out to hold the woman's pale right hand tightly. The other party's hand was very light, very white, but also clenched very hard, like an extension of the intense pain she experienced during childbirth.

"Your Highness..."

"I'm here! Don't worry..."

Holding the woman's hand, Xiulot's voice became soft. His fierce eyes just now softened in an instant, and he patiently comforted the woman who was almost exhausted.

"Be patient for a while longer, the priest is preparing fresh anesthetic knife water. After taking the knife water, you can have a good sleep. And when you wake up, everything will pass..."

"Your Highness! No, don't!"

Naxiu's pale hand was clenched suddenly, which even made Shulot feel the pain. As a Shadow Slave trained by a priestess, she naturally knows the power of sword water. And once the rhythm of childbirth is lost, the baby will definitely die... Thinking of this, Naxiu shook her head hard, with deep pleading in her eyes. In her weak voice, there was not only strong reluctance, but also determination to sacrifice herself.

"Please...stay...stay...children..."

"To...have a child!"

"Your Highness, I...I am not important..."

"Child...important!..."

Hearing such words, Shulot lowered his head and stared at the pale, pleading woman. He pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak for a long time. Seeing this scene, Yin Tuoya's expression flickered, and the movement of preparing knife water stopped. The head of the guard, Eckart, raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of His Highness. Everyone is waiting, waiting for His Highness's response.

However, the expected response did not come. Xiu Luote stared at the begging Naxiu, his eyes were deep, and his eyes became deep. Xiulot knew that this was a woman who could sacrifice everything for him. Women regard him as the only one, and always live in his shadow. And the sacrifice of a woman, in the eyes of everyone at this moment, is a matter of course...

This cruel era has changed him too much, making him more like a cold and ruthless king. However, there are always some imprints of future generations, deeply engraved in his bones, stubbornly unwilling to change!

Shulot was silent for a moment, then shook his head calmly and resolutely under Naxiu's desperate eyes. Then, he turned his gaze, swept across the people in the hall sternly, and shouted in a low voice.

"Save her! Don't stop! Bring the knife water!"

Priest Yin Tuoya met His Highness's eyes and trembled immediately. Her movements speeded up instantly, and she quickly prepared the obsidian knife water. It is said to be blended, but it is actually mixed with the magical morning glory, black feather jade, and mandala juice extracted with wine according to the physique of the user, according to the appropriate ratio, and the blended herbal medicine powder is added. At this time, in order to ensure safety, the chief priest Yin Tuoya also specially added the hemostatic powder uniquely inherited by the goddess priests.

"Your Highness, the sword water is ready..."

After a while, the chief priest Yin Tuoya bowed his head and respectfully came over holding a small clay pot. Xiulot sniffed lightly, and the familiar breath entered his nose, and his whole body was relaxed by it. He nodded affirmatively, then squeezed Naxiu's hand, and said in a low voice.

"Naxiu, be obedient! Open your mouth~lightnovelpub.net~ Don't move around, I'm going to give you anesthetic knife water!"

"Your Highness..."

At this moment, Naxiu's eyes changed again, becoming complicated and difficult to understand. Desperation, hope, pain, and joy were all mixed together, making her cry silently. Then, a cold touch touched her lips. And Yin Tuoya's calm hands had already pinched her jaw, and brought the clay pot to her mouth.

"No, you can't come in!..."

"Get out of the way! We have followed His Highness's will!"

At this moment, in the main hall outside, the priestesses suddenly sounded to stop the call. But the guards in armor didn't stop there, pushed aside the obstructing priestesses, and strode out of the side hall. Then, the dusty Shield Weiters, holding a slender and strangely shaped "brass weapon" in both hands, hurried into the side hall. He clanged two steps forward, and with a "plop", he knelt down at the door of the side hall and returned to His Highness.

"Your Highness! You ordered the craftsmen to make a divinely inspired device that can assist in childbirth, and it has already been made!"
