Early in the morning, the manor of the Lord of Flashthunder.

Catherine opened her eyes, smelled the breath of her lover left in the bed, and lay on the comfortable bed for a while, gently caressing her flat and tight lower abdomen, and her beautiful face floated with a happy and sweet smile.

"Good morning, baby. ”

Gently saying hello to the little life in her belly, Catherine left the big bed, walked to the door of the bedroom with her snow-white delicate feet, raised her hand to push open the hidden wooden door, and saw her lover sitting at the desk in the small living room, writing and drawing with a quill.

Victor stopped his quill, turned his head to look at Catherine in a loose nightdress, and said with a smile: "Honey, did I wake you up? You should sleep a little longer, and ......"

"Also, pregnant women should take care to keep warm and not run around the house barefoot...... Well, please spare me, you are even more nagging than my housekeeper wife when I was a child. ”

Catherine rolled her eyes, stepped forward, pressed Victor back into her chair, sat on his lap, picked up the parchment on the table, and asked curiously, "What are you up to?"

Victor carefully wrapped his arms around Catherine's waist and said, "I'm designing a carriage shock absorber...... The carriage provided by the Baron of Thunderbolt was really poor. I'm going to ask him to gather the craftsmen and rebuild a carriage. It is 16 feet long, 7 feet wide and 8 feet high, can accommodate four people, has four windows, is divided into two levels, and the top floor is the open-air roof of the carriage, with a wide view and plenty of sunlight to browse the scenery along the way......"

"What if it rains?"

"Don't worry, there is a rain shelter...... Inside the carriage there are five rooms, including a lavatory, a living room, a storage room, a bedroom, and a servant's room. By the way, a small trailer can be added to the back of the carriage, so that the storage room can be converted into a playroom. ”

Catherine leaned limply against Victor's chest, feeling his vigorous and powerful heartbeat, and with a smile on her lips, she asked, "How long will it take to build this carriage?"

Victor first calculated and considered all the factors in his mind, and said with certainty: "I will do it myself, and it will only take two months to do it." ”

Catherine's eyes widened for a moment, and she asked in surprise, "Two months?" you mean, we're going to stay in Lightning Town for two months?"

"Hmm. Victor nodded, rubbed his chin and said, "There are many new parts to be built, and the relevant materials need to be prepared...... I've set aside 15 days to trust the Lord of Lightning to complete my request. ”

Hearing the seriousness in Victor's tone, Catherine sat up straight, looked at his eyes with a dark golden aura, and said euphemistically: "Honey, Lightning Town is just a remote town, so don't be too embarrassed for them." Let's head straight to Waterdeep and ask Duke Joshua to prepare a carriage for us. ”

Victor shook his head again and again, and said, "It will take 39 days to travel from Lightning Town to Waterdeep City, and with that broken carriage, I am worried that it will fall apart halfway...... I can't bear to let your mother and son suffer from the bumps. Moreover, how can Joshua's carriage be compared to the carriage I made? In the future, I would like to take you on a long trip to the Centaur Hills. ”

Catherine chuckled in her heart, held Victor's cheek, offered an affectionate long kiss, and said softly: "There are not many supplies in Lightning Town, we use it to spend time here, it is better to walk to Waterdeep, it is estimated that we can get there in 10 days." ”

"No, no, how can this work?"

Victor shook his head repeatedly, but Catherine smiled gently: "In this case, release the letter crow, let the chariot from Waterdeep send a chariot to meet us, and ask them to prepare the carriage accessories you need by the way." We'll rush over, join the chariot, and when we're in Waterdeep, you'll make the carriage...... I don't want to spend a day in this small country town. I'm looking forward to the gift carriage you have for me and my children. ”

"That's ......"

While Victor was seriously considering Catherine's suggestion, Lady Ariel knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, she walked into the antechamber of the bedroom, glanced at the two people who were glued together, and smiled, "Didn't bother you?"

"Don't worry, is Catherine's breakfast ready?" asked Victor, shaking his head.

"Of course. Ariel nodded, and instead said, "However, I'm here to tell you that the Marquis of Goron and the Knights of the Dragons have arrived. ”

"So fast?"

Catherine's eyes lit up, she stood up from Victor's knees, and said, "I'll go change my clothes and greet His Highness Golon." ”

"Nope. Victor stood up, put his hands on Catherine's shoulders, and admonished, "Leave him alone, my dear. All you have to do is eat breakfast on time and call him at the right time. Trust me, I'll take care of it. ”

With that, Victor picked up his coat, pushed open the door, and staggered down the stairs, shouting to the attendant, "Is Madame's breakfast ready?" ”

Catherine and Ariel looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh wildly, and after a while, Ariel said silently, "Your Highness Randall, excited like a child. ”

The Randall family's car had departed from the city of Kgston a few months earlier, making a detour through the Kingdom of Dordor and returning to Gambis ahead of schedule. At this time, Alina and the others should have arrived in Momiji Town, which is adjacent to the Centaur Hills. Catherine picks up the elite and rushes to the county of Decaeser to join Victor. After Victor killed the Wind Fang and became a legend, Catherine accompanied him to retreat in the mountain hut. The two regained their old dreams and spent a time of lingering love and glue.

Victor completed the modification of the forging and breaking methods, said goodbye to King Rex and the Digmat Holy Warriors, and led the party from the western mountains of the county of Decaiser back to Gombis on foot.

On the way, Catherine discovers that she is pregnant, and she originally didn't want to tell Victor. But Victor noticed the heartbeat of the fetus and immediately assumed the role of husband and father-to-be, happy and nervous at the same time, circling around Catherine all day long, shushing the cold and asking for warmth. The four-meter-wide river, which Catherine could cross in one step, was about to order the secret knight to build a wooden bridge, as if he had forgotten that Catherine was a great knight and had regained her fighting spirit.

When he arrived at Flashthunder Town on the northeastern border of Gangbys, Victor's behavior became even more exaggerated, disgusted that the carriage of the lord of Flashthunder Town was shabby, and said that pregnant women could not ride horses or travel far on foot, and asked Flashthunder Town to prepare materials for making carriages, and planned to build a luxury carriage for Catherine himself. He would also speak to the fetus in Catherine's womb, and as a scholar of the Silver Tower, he gave this wayward and stupid behavior an academic name - prenatal education?

The child willfully gives a jar of honey to solve the problem, but it really can't add two more slaps. Your Highness is willful, then there will be a big trouble.

The authority and powerful spiritual power of His Royal Highness the Legend began to affect everyone below the Silver Knight, and even the Priest of Dain thought that Victor's nervousness was not unreasonable, and personally checked Catherine's diet every day, and asked Catherine every once in a while if she was unwell and wanted divine treatment.

Now, His Royal Highness the Legend and the High Priest have become like this, and the entire Lightning Town has mobilized to help Her Majesty Catherine. And Catherine seems to be enjoying it. At this time, whoever dares to raise objections is the public enemy of all.

Ariel saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, and she thought that Victor was becoming restless because she realized that she was about to be separated from Catherine.

If Victor wants to kidnap Catherine to the Centaur Hills, the problem becomes very serious. Ariel sent a secret letter to the Kite Castle, and the Kite Castle reacted quickly, and the Marquis of Goron led the elite of the Swift Dragon Knights to rush over overnight.

Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, but still had to wake up Catherine and don't go to Centaur Hills with Victor.

Catherine smiled slightly, sat back on the sofa, and said with her lips, "Dear Ariel, I admit that I have enjoyed Victor's meticulous love and care, but I have not lost the sanity of the Silver Knight because of this. ”

"I have my own measure...... You're going to let us be willful for a while. ”

Ariel's lips moved, and when he caught a glimpse of Catherine's bright green eyes, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'll change your clothes for you." ”

Outside the town, the Marquis of Golon saw a slender and tall figure approaching him alone, with black hair, a handsome countenance, dark gold eyes, a well-proportioned figure, and two distinct qualities of agility and steadiness in his steps.

Compared with the softness of the Moon Elf, he now has a more masculine temperament and has begun to transform into a Sun Elf...... Marquis Goron nodded secretly, jumped off his mount, straightened his cloak, took off his helmet, and prepared to greet His Highness Randall.

Victor directly crossed the Marquis of Golon, glanced at the dragon knight behind him, turned back to Goron and asked:

"Where's the carriage?"

The raised hand was lowered again, and the Marquis of Golon asked confusedly, "What carriage?"

His Highness Randall pointed to the six-legged swift dragon and asked angrily, "What carriage?!, are you going to let Catherine ride such an ugly fellow away?"

Of course, the Swift Dragon Knights would not take a carriage with them on a rapid march. Without a carriage, Victor, of course, refused to set off. Marquis Goron and 30 dragon knights can only stay in Thunderbolt to help Victor build the carriage.

Fifteen days later, Victor and Catherine were still on their way. Waterdeep City received an urgent report from the Lord of Lightning Town, and Duke Joshua hurriedly sent a luxury carriage, led by the guardian of the family, to meet the Queen Mother of Gangbis in Lightning Town.

Seeing off His Highness Randall and His Majesty Catherine, the lords of Flash Thunder were about to fall into tears.

Although Victor made a generous move, Thunder Town really made a small fortune. However, the pressure on Lightning Town is not ordinary.

The convoy arrived in Waterdeep, where the Joshua family hosted a gala dinner to welcome His Highness Randall, His Highness Golon, and Her Majesty Catherine. Victor was not interested, saying that the Joshua family's carriage was uncomfortable to sit in, and he wanted to build a long-distance carriage himself.

As a result, the dragon knight tossed with Victor for more than ten days, and only after the carriage was built did he embark on the journey back to Blinor.

The closer the party got to the capital of Gombis, the temper of His Highness Randall grew, and he often quarreled with the Marquis of Goron over trivial matters. Fortunately, as long as Catherine intervened, Victor was always calmed down. But the atmosphere of the convoy gradually became more and more solemn.

On this day, the convoy arrived in the eastern part of the royal city, and the Marquis of Goron repeatedly invited him to call Victor out of the carriage. The two rode the dragon and walked at the front of the line.

"This is the most fertile land in the Blinauer Plains. ”

The Marquis of Goron pointed to the endless green wheat fields beside the road and said, "There are farmland, lakes, rivers, forests, and pastures, with a total area of 14,000 square kilometers. Henceforth, it was the fief of the Duchess Catherine. ”

Victor said absentmindedly, "As a duke, it's a little smaller. ”

Marquis Goron smiled and said, "Hehe, since the Auguste family opened up the Sancha River Valley, the central plain of Blinor belongs directly to the Augustian royal family. None of the Grand Dukes of the Kite Castle had their own fiefdoms, and their descendants either married into the outer kingdoms or integrated into the family of the Grand Lord of Cambys. As for the Duchess of Kiteburg, it is only a false title, and it is impossible to have a fief. ”

"In fact, most queens do not live as long as kings, and a duchess of a corebourg like Catherine is rare, but not impossible. Their blood and origins are nobler than Catherine's, but they are not treated like Catherine. ”

"The Kite Castle paid a great price to maintain the noble blood of the Augustian family, and many of August's sons had only the title of court earl for the rest of their lives. This fief is worthy of you and Catherine's children. He or she will inherit Catherine's dukedom and after three generations, he or she will be the Emperor of the Gombis Empire. ”

Victor was silent for a few seconds and said: "I will talk about the future later, I only know that the child needs the company of his father." His Royal Highness is also a father, so he should be able to understand my feelings. ”

Goron nodded and said, "What do you propose?"

Victor perked up and said, "I want to invite Catherine to Silvermoon Manor, and it will not be too late to return to the Kite Castle after the child is eight years old." ”

Goron glanced at him, turned his head to look straight ahead, and asked lightly, "Can their mother and son come back?"

Victor bowed his head and said, "I promise to respect Catherine's choice. ”

"Do you respect Sylvia's choice? I'm sure Catherine can come back, but I don't believe her children can come back. ”

Victor was speechless and unwillingly said, "I will try to convince Sylvia to respect Catherine's will." ”

Goron shook his head and sighed, "I'm not worried about Her Highness Sylvia, I'm worried about Her Highness Randall...... Your logic is terrible, Catherine is your lover, the mother of your children, weaker than you, should listen to your arrangement. According to your logic, Sylvia is stronger than you, and she wants to keep Catherine's child, and you can't afford to refuse. Sylvia would have followed the knightly principle of companionship, but she would have gone with the flow...... Is this fair to Catherine?"

"I must remind Your Highness that a lover is not a vassal, and Catherine is not your fertility tool!"

Victor was furious, his eyes were dyed golden, and after mobilizing X-3 to control his emotions, he said coldly: "I just want to do my duty as a father! ”

"Yes! I admit it. ”

"You...... Old bastard. ”

Marquis Goron turned his head, looked directly into Victor's eyes, and said with a smile: "Roland also scolded me like this...... Catherine didn't, she never thought I was a jerk...... Not necessarily. I can give you a chance to prove that I'm a jerk and you're not a jerk. ”

"Can I resign as Minister of War and take your place, and live in the city of Blinor, and accompany Catherine and your children, and fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and a father?"

Victor's face changed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Goron shook his head and continued: "Your Highness Randall, we are not mortals, mortals have limited abilities, and we can only take care of our families. And His Royal Highness only thinks about the family, considers the kingdom, and does not have the concept of a small family at all. If you insist on going your own way, it will only force Catherine to dissolve her relationship with you. ”

"Hmph! ”

Victor jumped off his mount, went against the line, and walked towards Catherine's carriage, when he heard the Marquis of Goron shouting from behind:

"Victor, there's someone, maybe you'd like to talk to him. ”
