December 25, 1458, Italian Peninsula in Europe, Caslana Family Castle.

The cry of a bright baby resounded throughout the delivery room, and a nun excitedly pushed open the door of the room, "Sir, Madame has given birth!" It's a boy... ”

"Tell me, how is Vera! How is she now! The prefect interrupted the nun directly and rudely, and asked very eagerly, "Do you have anything to say about her?" ”

The nun was shaken violently, unable to answer his question, the power of the chief's shaking was so great that the nun was about to be stunned.

Just as the nun was about to lose consciousness, a soft voice floated out of the door: "Honey, let her go, you are too rude!" The irascible man seemed to wake up when he heard the gentle voice again, and he looked apologetically at the nun, who was leaning against the wall to slow down, and entered the room without saying anything.

Different from the rage just now, after entering the room, all the man's breath was constricted, and his originally resolute, snow-white hair was also soft and sticking to the side of his head, like a little hamster returning to the nest.

His steps changed from hurried at first, slowly to gentle, but still very fast. He ignored the nuns who were cleaning the child's blood-stained amniotic fluid, let alone the child. He walked straight to the chair next to the bed and sat down, as if he felt too tall and too far from the woman on the bed, and threw away the soft pillow that had rested on the chair.

"Vera, how do you feel about your body? Is there anything uncomfortable about it? The best pastors of the church are here, and you can have any questions... ”

"Don't worry... I'm an A-class Valkyrie.,Producing such a trivial thing.。。。 How could it stump me? I'm also a mother who gave birth once. The woman smiled softly. But her pale lips seemed out of place with her light-hearted words.

"You were already in a difficult birth when Karen was born!" The man roared angrily, but then he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. "You shouldn't have been pregnant again in the first place!" The man said in annoyance, "You shouldn't have accepted the council's orders!" ”

The woman is quiet, and her clear eyes only reveal full love for men. She lifted a pale hand, trembling and raising it as hard as she could, and placed it on top of the man's head as if she were caressing a child. "Francis, you've always thought of me like this... But the council's order is reasonable. Everything, for the sake of Destiny ... ”

"I'll him—" The hand on top of the man's head suddenly pressed his head hard, and also pressed down what he was about to say. Honey—" Vera looked softly at her husband, then turned her gaze to the nun, who had been standing aside for a long time. The nun immediately handed over the baby in her hand.

The newborn little guy's skin was red all over, and there were still a little wrinkles on his face, which obviously hadn't grown yet. But there is a hint of the same outline as Francis's in the baby's face.

"Behold, handsome child, how much he is like you... We haven't named him yet. I hope you can give him a nice name, okay? ”

Francis took a look, "I'm much better looking than him." ”

Vera couldn't help but laugh, "Karen was like this when she was born. Red, crepe. But now you see, our Kalendo is proud. ”

At the mention of Karen, Francis also had a smile on her face.

Vera couldn't help but nudge Francis, "Alright! Don't be in a daze. What about the name? Think about it. ”

"I... I don't know..."

"How can this be, you are a father, you decided on Karen's name before she was born..."

"But this kid..."

"Okay, I'll get the name, you go out first."

"What's wrong? Why should I go out? ”

The woman was suddenly a little embarrassed: "I... I'd like to make it easier... These nuns will take care of it, you get out of here! ”

Francis nodded, and when he got up to leave, he was stopped by Vera again, "Wait, I want you to go out with the baby." Today you are going to take care of him as a punishment for not caring about him! Vera looked at the child in her arms, then reached out and handed the child to Francis. Francis did not hesitate to hug the child. He never refused Vera's request. He walked out of the room with a heart full of care and the child in his arms, and then gently closed the door.

Touch...

"You say... Will this child grow up safely? ”

The nuns carefully prepared the night pot, but Vera didn't mean to make it easier.

"Huh? It's strange, why don't you want to at all? It's weird... It's weird... Well? The experience she hadn't had before made her a little confused, "Suddenly, I'm a little sleepy..."

Francis didn't stay away after walking out the door. He plans to put down his work and stay with his beloved wife these days. His daughter, Karene Kaslana, was trained by her grandfather, Arthur Kaslana, and could not return for several years.

The child in my hands ... Francis had mixed feelings.

Otto Villa Shaniyat is the wife of Francis Kaslana. Their marriage was the most favored by the Parliament. Because this is actually a marriage experiment of Destiny: whether it is possible for the next generation born of the bloodlines of different powers to inherit the talents of the two families: Kaslana's powerful body and Shaniyat's control over Honkai's energy.

This is not the first time Destiny has done this. Political marriages have always existed, in the past, the three families of Kaslana, Shaniat, and Apocalis married to each other, and the children born were no different, they were all immune to Honkai, no one was much stronger, and no one was much weaker, but the ability was generally determined by which family the man was.

Their first child was born with the anticipation and blessing of all: Karene Kaslana. Like all the children who had been married before, she did not inherit the abilities of the two families, but her talent for the Kaslana family's gunfighting skills immediately surprised all the members of the Kaslana family, so the family leaned a lot of resources to focus on cultivating her. This exciting news thrilled everyone in the council, and the council quickly made a ridiculous decision: it hoped that Otto Villa would go on to give birth to the next Kaslana.

Excited, they all ignored the difficult factor of Otto Villa's birth of Kalian, and they also ignored the damage to Otto Villa's body during that difficult birth.

They believe that the Church has the best medical technology in all of Europe, and that no wound cannot be cured.

But there was one person who did not lose his mind in this news, and that was Otto Villa's husband: Francis Caslana.

Because of this incident, the impulsive Francis scolded almost everyone in the council, and even spoke ill of his father, Arthur Caslana, for the first time. But the old man knew his son too well, so he didn't say anything, just beat him up. Francis was helpless.

Or maybe it's because he didn't fight back.

Everyone is hoping for a new generation of talented people, because that means more opportunities to turn the tide of the battle against Honkai. Destiny has fallen into a disadvantageous situation in the confrontation with Honkai. They thought they had won a worthy victory, but a Black Death mocked them all. The signs of Honkai are getting worse, and more and more Destiny Martial Gods are dying in the confrontation of Honkai.

Otto Villa knew this, and compared to Francis's irritability, she was as clear and serene as water. She knew that the decision of the council could not be disobeyed, so she calmly took the order.

Francis looked at the baby she was holding in her arms. The child fell asleep quietly in his arms. He looked at him sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Fortunately, your mother and son are safe." Otherwise... Otherwise I really don't know how to face you, my son ... He thought quietly as he held the baby.

Perhaps he, like Karen, would make him proud.

It may also be an ordinary life.

But as long as he is a knight of the Caslana family, he will not allow his son to be ordinary.

He would teach the child Kaslana's proudest weapon in gun fighting.

Together with this child, he will challenge many powerful Honkai beasts.

He would make this child the best knight of the Caslana family.

He would...

Francis slowly lifted the baby high.

Perhaps, this child will become the proudest knight of the Kaslana family.

The alarm bell rang throughout the castle, and Francis froze as he held the child aloft, and the nuns and priests hurried past him and rushed into the room.

"Madame is bleeding heavily, hurry up and find the bleeding point!"

Francis slammed open the door of the room, hugged the baby tightly, and hurried to the bedside

The sheets had been stained red with blood, and blood was dripping from the edges.

"The bleeding point is in... Medial neck of the birth canal... It's in the body... One pastor said in despair.

"Bleeding ... It's too much, I can't stop it... ”

"Lady Otto Villa... One of the nuns couldn't help but cry.

Francis stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and suddenly the whole world collapsed, and he leaned weakly against the wall, trying his best not to fall... But he forgot that he was still holding a baby. The baby fell heavily to the ground, and despite being wrapped in layers of quilts, it was still making a loud noise.

"Little master!" A nun

A nun hurriedly picked up the baby from the ground and hurriedly coaxed him for fear of crying, but the baby didn't cry, he just stared at the air...

"Sir Francis..." A nun walked up to Francis, "Lady Otto Villa has something to pass on to you... ”

Francis jerked his head up, his hands gripping her shoulders tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, without saying a word.

"When she thought of the child's name, she called it hu... The nun stopped at this point. But Francis apparently didn't get the answer he received

"Hu what? What do you say!!!!! ”

"She didn't say her full name, only this pronunciation...

Francis's hand hung limply.

Francis vaguely remembers the first time he saw that little figure on the Siberian plain in the cold of winter. Holding a double-sided battle axe that does not match his body shape in his hand, he is scared but does not give in to the flood of attacks of the Honkai Beast.

When the team he led arrived at her, he found that she was the only Valkyrie team she was guarding was still alive, and she had long since lost consciousness.

She didn't speak for a long time when she woke up, alone in the hospital, curled up in a small corner of the bed, staring blankly at the snow outside the window.

When Francis went to visit her, he was very apprehensive. He didn't know how to comfort the girl who had lost all her teammates. When he entered the ward, the girl, who had been curled up in the corner of the bed for several days, suddenly said something to Francis:

"Now, do you like snow?"

Francis nodded subconsciously. The girl's clear eyes looked at Francis's eyes quietly, and she raised her hand to catch a snowflake drifting in from the window.

"Why are you crying if you like it?"

Francis sat down on the ground. He never imagined that this day would come. Clearly... Just a minute ago, I was discussing the name of the child with myself ...

A few weeks later, the girl was discharged from the hospital. That morning.

"I... Can I know your name? Francis said with some trepidation

The girl smiled, "My name is Otto Villa, Otto Villa Shaniyat. She spun around lightly, "I know you, you're a knight of House Caslana." You are... Mr. Arthur's son, Francis! ”

Francis responded with a somewhat cramped Nono. The two did not speak again for a long time. The girl sat on the fence of the flower garden on one side, her little feet swaying lightly.

"That..."

"Huh?" The girl's slanted little head looked at the cramped Francis.

"I... I call you ... Is Vera okay? ”

"Vera? But my name is Otto Vera... ”

"That!" The boy said loudly, trying his best to hide the shyness in his heart, "Then only I can call it that!" He seemed to be announcing something, but soon his momentum fell again: "Is it okay... ”

A hint of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, but then she lowered her head.

The atmosphere seemed to be silent, and the boy was annoyed by his recklessness when he suddenly heard an inaudible voice.

"Hmm...

Francis clenched his teeth and pressed his arms hard against his eyes, sobbing uncontrollably. He is still reminiscing about every second of his encounter with his wife...

"Sir Francis! Sir Francis! A nun shouted anxiously, "Little master... No more crying! ”
