403 Destiny

Inside Alicia's space, Alicia was in a medical room within the castle gritting her teeth as she endured the pain. In all her two lives and with all the near death experiences, she had never felt a pain such as the pain one had to endure during childbirth. "Ahhh!" 

"Alicia, push, come on, you can do it!" Tang Ming was by her side. She had kicked out all men from the delivery room except for Blake who was on Alicia's other side holding her hand. 

Alicia breathed in and out and she continued to push down on her lower stomach. Hours passed and the screams of pain continued to be heard from the delivery room. Finally, after much effort, the sounds of a baby could be heard crying from within the room. "Whaaa!" 

"Princess, congratulations! You have given birth to a beautiful baby girl." The doctor said as she carefully wiped the baby's face and wrapped her in a towel. 

Alicia looked at the little girl whose face was wrinkly and cute and smiled. Her little eyes were still squinted shut and she had a little nose that made one want to reach out and grab it. Alicia reached out with her hand and gently stroked the little girl's chubby cheeks. "My baby girl..."

"I will clean her off and do some checks. Then you can hold her." The nurse said with a smile. She wanted to let Alicia hold her as soon as possible. 

The nurse was fast and only took forty-five minutes to return with Alicia's baby. "Princess..." The doctor gently placed the baby into Alicia's arms who carefully held her as if she was the most precious gem in the entire world. 

"What do you want to name her?" Blake asked as he sat on the side of the bed. His arm was placed around Alicia's shoulder. 

"I was thinking of the name Destiny. It means predetermined. I think everything thus far was determined from the beginning. From me being reborn here, meeting you, falling in love with you, marrying you, and then having a beautiful baby girl with you. She is our destiny. This child." Alicia answered.

"I think this name is very nice." Blake said with a smile as he held onto Destiny's tiny little hand.

"Akari, I think the name is perfect." Tang An smiled brightly. She was very happy that she was able to see her daughter grow up to become a young woman who had her own family. 

Tang An got up and opened the door. Tang Ming and King Augustus who had their ears pressed up against the door both fell to the floor. Frey came flying in and hovered in the air above Destiny, her eyes glowing and her lips curved into a smile. She slowly flew down and leaned her head over kissing the top of Destiny's head. "Little sister, your big sister will be sure to protect you." 

The room was soon filled with Alicia's entire family. Jasmine, Jade, and Nora even took time off from their studies to be here to meet the new addition to the family. 

"Seeing such a small little girl makes me want to start a family of my own..." Blanche's soft gaze had a hint of longing when looking at Destiny. 

"Big Sister, we will find you someone who will treat you good." She then turned her gaze to King Augustus and said: "Royal Father, you need to stop rejecting every marriage proposal that comes your way, or Big sister Blanche and Big Sister Catherine will never have a chance to find a person they love! "

"Ahem… It's just that no one is good enough for my girls! They only care about themselves! I do not want my daughters to end up in a loveless marriage where they get treated like a slave!" King Augustus huffed.

"Then let them find love on their own. There is no need for them to be set up, they can always find love the normal way. Let them out and see the world, maybe they will bring home a few babies of their own." Alicia said jokingly. 

"Humph! No one can marry your sisters unless I okay them, if they do truly love your sisters then I will not get in their way. Catherine, Blanche, always remember I love you and want the best for you. Even Blake had to undergo rigorous scrutiny from me before I would allow him to officially be with your little sister. Just make sure no matter what, whoever you pick loves you for you, not for your status or anything else." King Augustus said as he walked over and placed his hands on his two eldest daughters heads and rubbed them. Alicia smiled seeing the love and care King Augustus gave to all his kids. He truly wished for the best for them. She could not understand why her two eldest brothers acted in the manner that they did. But now they have both lost their lives…

"Sorry to interrupt but Lady An, Sir Ming, your Majesty, you are all needed at the command center, Sanavilia is now under our control, they need to know what the next step is." A soldier who was waiting at the side said suddenly.

"Okay, we will be right there." Tang An said with a smile before turning to Alicia. "Akari, sit tight for now and take care of Destiny. Your Mother and fathers will take care of what is left of this war. I promise when you are able to go back outside again this world will be under one rule. "
