Chapter 1840 A Glorious Royal Birth
In Baymard's grand medical theater, a hushed tension hung in the air as Queen Lucy, beloved by her people, was in the throes of labor. The royal theater was filled with the sounds of several solemn nurse attendants and doctors working meticulously and swiftly. Landon's eyes were all focused on his beloved woman, whispering promises for the future, once she pulled through.
Outside the theater, family and loved ones had gathered, some just arriving from outside the palace and others long seated here in wait. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap~
Lucius sat crossed armed, not even realizing that he had been anxiously tapping his boot against the hard ground for quite some time now. Many were similar to him, moving back and forth in fixed lines, anxiety etched in their solemn faces. Oh My heavens, this was torture. Why the hell was it taking so long? Was it usually this slow? (?0?)
In truth, Lucy's birth was actually faster than many others but at this moment, none of them could believe it even if you spat cold facts in their faces. Tick-tock, Tick-tock. The giant clock on the wall was so annoying. For as the seconds passed, the tension mounted, each passing minute feeling like an eternity to those gathered in the palace. Prayers were whispered fervently in every corner, seeking a safe delivery for both mother and child.
"Ancestors above, grant my sweet daughter-in-law strength. My dear Lucy..." Mother Kim was murmuring to herself in prayer, with eyes so locked on the door that if it should shake even for a millisecond, she would be the first to reappear before it like magic. Yes, everyone was almost losing all their hair from all the waiting, including Landon who was busy soothing his woman. .
Lucy twisted and pushed with all her might, yelling at the top of her lungs while listening to the instructions from the doctors. "I see the head! Take in deep breaths and push, my queen, push." "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Veins popped on Lucy's forehead, and sweat drenched her entire body while pushing with all her might. Good Ancestors, why did it feel like all the oxygen in the room was escaping her? 'Don't give up... Don't give up...' Ahhhhhh!
(Snore~)
Lucy passed out, sleeping so hard that even a horde of zombies and a major earthquake wouldn't be able to wake her up. Landon shook his head, allowing the doctors and nurses to continue checking her vitals, before heading out to see their dear friends and families who were gathered in the Waiting hall. ...
Tick-tock,Tick-tock~
That damn clock was constantly kicking her again and again. Mother Kim's eyes darted around chaotically, observing every change before her. And just then, Kimberly swore time froze in ace when the massive double-sided doors moved slightly. Mother Kim and everyone instantly took to their feet, feeling their faces lose all color when seeing Landon's solemn expression. "Well, well, spit it out, brat! Why is your face like that?" Lucius unknowingly grabbed Landon's color.
No one felt Lucius's actions were too much. Even Little Momo and Little Linda who woke and waited for Lucy's safe delivery, also felt their ever-powerful Big Brother Landon was now annoying. Landon slowly raised his head, releasing a deep sigh that made everyone's Heart tighten even more. And then, he spoke...
"My Queen is fine... but boys... Twin boys... Where is my promised daughter?"

Can they say they had the urge to beat his Majesty Landon to a pulp?
