This is Duna's third pregnancy.

The first two times they were in the South, and both times they were aborted before they were pregnant. Duna hadn't even told him that she might have guessed that Mo Shi knew a thing or two, but in any case, she didn't say anything.

And now, apparently, they feel that maybe it's time.

Mo Shi didn't know anything about snowwalkers' marriage customs, but fortunately, no one expected him to understand.

The only thing Mo Shi has deliberately studied is that Heyal is not allowed to marry commoners, while Ban Heyar and commoners can form legal couples. So he finally put his mind at ease. It's always good not to have to be ridiculed by the world, and the happiness of being accepted by others is what they deserve.

Mo Shi was a witness.

This was, of course, his first time as a witness. Du Na is the housekeeper of Mo Shi, and Nagao is the housekeeper, and the union of the two can be regarded as the wedding of the little "king" and "queen" within the scope of their mansion. All the servants prepared small gifts for them, but Mo Shi seemed to be excluded from the whole wedding, except for the wedding, which was to eat cream cake.

Mo Shi gave Duna and Nagao a vacation and asked them to go back to their hometown.

Nagao had no intention of returning to the Southlands, so he accompanied Duna to Dongge Village.

When they set off, Duna's belly was just revealed, pregnant with one or more healthy newborns. Snowwalkers have a slightly longer gestation period than humans, about ten full months, and because of the anatomy of the pelvis, childbirth is not as painful as that of human women. Still, according to Mostone's understanding, the mortality rate is still quite high. Therefore, Moshi hoped that Duna would return to the center before giving birth.

Among the few personal servants that Duna chose for Mo Shi was a little girl who was mute and named Pol. Mo Shi tried to teach her to write. She is a bit clumsier than Duna, but she learns to write quickly.

Time is slowly entering the middle of winter.

One day, while studying magic in the astrology house, Moshi was invited by Princess Thea's maid to do divination.

During that time, he had been researching techniques to compete with the "Heavenly Punishment".

Based on his knowledge of magic and "Noah", he already knew that the seal limited the flow of magic nerve bundles that he originally had, as well as the spell area. In other words, he can't master the relevant techniques through learning until the area is unlocked. But correspondingly, under the premise of opening up the field, he can study and learn techniques that he did not know before.

For example, now that Level 3 of the "Object Enhancement" area has been unlocked, he can start learning the Snowkin Enhancement Spells.

And "Heavenly Punishment" belongs to a field that Mo Shi does not know much about.

He lived in an era in which only the professional army would have mastered this spell similar to "imprisonment". Mo Shi was not among them, and in fact, the offensive magic he had learned was limited to normal self-preservation. In other words, "Heavenly Punishment" is a completely new field for Mo Shi, and he is able to conduct extensive experiments as long as the magic nerve bundle allows.

This is what Mo Shi is good at and keen to invest in, he has almost reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat lately, thinking about the composition of the "Heavenly Punishment" technique no matter what he does, and in the absence of Duna, he can indulge his life schedule to constantly shift. Moshi contemplates the source of his magic while eating, and traces the shape of his magic in his dreams. He was going to wait until the snow was over, and then start a trip again, he was going to the edge of the border to experience the "Heavenly Punishment" again, he was going to the south to see the so-called "magic gap", he was going to the north to observe the species that had been turned into "dark wings" by snowwalkers......

But now, he was led deep into the palace and stood in a warm room.

In front of him stood Manka's eldest daughter, Thea Golden Lion. The widow of an earl of the White Lizard family.

Despite being married once, Xia is only forty-five years old, and in the snowwalker society, she is a young woman of childbearing age. She, like Dia, is a Beya, a rarity in the royal family. It is also said that because of this, she missed a better chance of marriage and married an earl who died recklessly and early.

"Your Highness the Princess. Mo Shi saluted respectfully.

Thea Golden Lion resembles her father, with light hair and skin, and light gray-green eyes. She didn't have the ability to smile and be as energetic as his father did, so the protruding brow bones and the bridge of her nose made her slightly gloomy. From Moshi's aesthetic point of view, the aesthetic pleasure she gave Moshi was not as good as Diya's, nor was it as good as the king's new favorite, Miss Sef.

But she lifted up slightly and opened her eyes wide, revealing a kind of innocence.

"We've met, Mr. Moshi, do you remember?"

Unexpected words.

Mo Shi was taken aback and looked at her, trying to figure out the princess's intentions.

But this does not seem to be a joke, nor does it seem to refer to the common situation of a chance encounter between Mo Shi when he entered the court for divination and teaching, or a photo meeting during a certain sacrificial event.

"Excuse me......" he asked tentatively.

Xiya was also stunned.

She staggered her gaze slightly and shook her head slightly: "Ah, it's been too long...... I'm no longer a girl...... It's very different from before. And we've only had a one-sided relationship. At that time, my grandfather was still a king, and Terina and Terlota were princesses. ”

Time went back more than ten years ago, and some shadows of the past flickered in front of Mo Shi's eyes.

The current Terlena is the wife of Diffonor Firesparrow, staying in the Red Sand Castle in the West, where she has given birth to several children. As far as Moshi knew, Diffonor now had two side chambers, and Terrina had apparently accepted them according to tradition and had not become a "jealous woman".

The current Gelota is the wife of Dino Firesparrow, who lives in the center and sometimes returns to the court.

Recently, Gerota has been sick at home, and Mo Shi occasionally sees her and talks to her slightly. She was on the verge of dying of puerperal fever after her fifth birth, and the child died after only three years of age. According to Mo Shi and Bluebird, there is no doubt that she suffers from depression - but in this snowwalker country, no one has the concept of mental illness, and the patients themselves do not believe it.

After the child's death, Terotta was so grief-stricken that she couldn't sleep with Dino for a long time.

It was also around that time that Dino had a relationship with a court maid who had been staying at the court for a long time (she was the widow of a marquis) after a banquet. Although the other party did not ask Dino to treat her as a mistress, the matter did not subside, and the rumor soon reached the ears of Jelotta.

Gerota didn't say anything about her feelings. However, in the middle of the conversation, whenever she talked about or hinted at it, she would always quietly shed tears and stop talking abruptly. Mo Shi often acted as a priest, rowing an empty wheel for her and praying for her blessings.

Moshi remembers in his mind what happened when he first met Terrina and Princess Jelota.

It was then that he entered the court for the first time, and he walked in the ranks of the Firesparrow family, passing by the palace corridors.

The young princess dropped a handkerchief and was caught by Dino.

The princesses, in order to apologize to Dino, invite him into the garden of the ladies. And Mo Shi accompanied him, waited in the garden, and wandered alone. Admiring the drab decoration of the snowwalker's courtyard, he walked past a wall of trees and came to a lake. On the shore of that little lake, he accidentally saw a girl who took off her coat and played in the water......

He was only a teenager, happily splashing with water, and was not afraid to see the wall of ice and snow made of Moshi, and even came up to talk to him.

By the way, that girl-

Her servants called her "Miss Thea".

That is Thea, who is now known as the princess.
