Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?

Chapter 25: The Problem of a Daughter's Education


"I'm pregnant," Nora said.

Aske: ??

"Didn't we say yesterday morning that there was no pregnancy yet?" he asked in confusion.

"I just got pregnant last night, right after we finished that call," Nora replied, "I checked with the Evolution Law, it should be in the implantation stage in the uterus now, it's a boy... what, aren't you happy?"

Under Nora's suspicious gaze, Aske hastily put on a beaming smile: "No, I'm too happy! Come, let me listen if it's a healthy baby."

He pressed his ear to Nora's flat stomach and nodded, saying:

"Mm, our son must be extremely healthy."

"Get off, it's not even in the embryo stage yet," Nora laughed, pushing him away and began to imagine, "Our son... I want to teach him music, painting, and literature from a young age, let him grow up to be a talented person."

"I think he'll only become a sissy..." Aske taunted and was elbowed by Nora.

"Arts education has nothing to do with being a sissy, that's your macho bias!" she huffed while touching her stomach, "Oh son, please don't become a crude and wild person like your father."

"I feel your prenatal education has hidden malice against me," Aske said, "Boys should love sports more, be healthy and sunny."

"Don't worry about the health issue, my Evolution Law will nourish his body well," Nora insisted, "He just needs to be a quiet and handsome man. Otherwise, if he's always running around, I'm afraid he'll become a jerk who always wants to run away, just like his father."

"Hey, you don't even bother to disguise your scolding of me now?" Aske angrily retorted.

Verona City, Borgo Trento Cross Hospital.

"The fetus is not in good condition." The female doctor looked at the examination report with a cautious expression after finishing Eleanor's check-up, "The current developmental progress is relatively behind, and we suspect it's a sign of embryonic arrest, we hope you intervene as soon as possible."

Embryonic arrest, also known as the embryo stopping development. After hearing the female doctor's answer, Eleanor nervously bit her lip and asked,

"If we intervene now, what's the chance of saving the embryo?"

"It's hard to say, we'll do our best to rescue." The female doctor reluctantly answered.

After leaving the consultation room, Medea pulled over the helpless Eleanor and said,

"You should take it easy. For us High Rank Transcendents, the fetus conceived after suppressing the bloodline is inherently fragile... Just get pregnant a few more times, and it will eventually succeed."

"I want to save him." Eleanor pressed her abdomen, pursed her lips silently, "What about Lilith? Your kid..."

"Lilith inherited my Enchanting Demon Bloodline," Medea answered, "The Enchanting Demon Bloodline itself is favorable for childbirth, unlike your child."

"You can ask Nora for help, doesn't she have the Evolution Law?" Sigrdrifa said carelessly beside them.

"Evolution... Right, the Evolution Law!" Eleanor's eyes lit up.

Medea sighed beside them.

She actually didn't want to remind Eleanor, because once she sought help from Nora, the current Anti-Saintess Alliance would collapse on its own.

But even if Sigrdrifa didn't remind, the Knight Girl would eventually think of this too, so there was no need to blame Sigrdrifa.

At this moment, little Lilith leaned over to Medea's ear and whispered with a mischievous smile a few words.

Medea's eyes lit up at first, then she became complex in expression:

Alas, my daughter surpasses me in intrigue and scheming, I don't know if it's good or bad.

She then cleared her throat and said to Eleanor,

"For this matter, you must seek help from Nora. But I don't recommend talking to her alone."

"Why?" Eleanor quickly asked.

"Because she might not believe you," Medea shrugged, "She might think you're just trying to lure her away as an excuse to take Aske away."

"To be safe, let my daughter talk to her. After all, Nora likes kids, doesn't she?"

.........

Soon, a call from Medea came through Raphael's line and reached Nora.

"Got it," Nora said helplessly, handing the phone to Aske next to her, "Your daughter wants to talk to you."

Aske took the phone: "Hello, Medea?"

"Daddy!" Little Lilith called sweetly from the other end.

Aske: .........

Why do I suddenly feel like I could die without regrets?

For a moment, his heart melted, and he only heard little Lilith say again:

"It seems like brother can't survive, Dad, let Aunt Nora come take a look quickly!"

"Brother? What did you say?" Aske quickly asked.

"It's Aunt Eleanor's brother in her belly," little Lilith said matter-of-factly, "The doctor said brother's condition is very poor, he might stop developing at any time!"

Aske: !!!

He stared at Nora in shock, since the phone was on speaker, Nora naturally heard it too, and immediately grabbed the phone and said:

"What's going on? Eleanor's pregnant? The fetus isn't doing well?"

"Aunt Nora," little Lilith said in a sad tone, "yes, we're currently at Aachen University Affiliated Hospital, the doctor said the chances of saving brother are very low, Aunt, if you have time, you should come and take a look soon."

"I'll come right away!" Nora immediately agreed.

She hung up the phone and without hesitation dashed out the door.

Aske quickly followed, after all, it was his and Eleanor's child, it wouldn't make sense not to be there.

In Verona City, little Lilith hung up the phone and then jumped and skipped away to return the phone to Eleanor, comforting her:

"Aunt Nora said she will come soon and asked you to wait for her at Aachen University Affiliated Hospital."

Eleanor finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking indeed it was easier for children to communicate with Nora. After all, she had just fallen out with Nora earlier, and then asking her to save her child, she was always afraid of being outright rejected.

Fortunately, the friendship over many years is not fake after all... The thinking Knight Girl felt a deep sense of guilt towards Nora, not knowing how to follow up properly.

"Wait, why is it at an Aachen hospital?" Eleanor suddenly reacted.

"I don't know?" Little Lilith pretended to think while holding her chin, "Maybe the Church Court's hospital isn't as reliable as the Divine Luo's hospital?"

In terms of medical technology alone, the Divine Luo hospital can't compare to the Church Court, but Eleanor is the Imperial Regent of the Divine Luo Empire, the First Sword Bearer under the Iron Throne, and her offspring involves the empire's power inheritance issue. Therefore, thinking this way, being hospitalized on the empire's side is indeed safer.

So Eleanor no longer doubted, quickly heading towards the nearest airport with Medea and Sigrdrifa.

Knowing the situation of the fetus in her belly, she dared not even transform into a light stream to fly, her cautious and worried face almost overflowed.

Medea maintained a calm face, but her gaze involuntarily glanced at her daughter in her arms.

Upon learning there was danger to the fetus in Eleanor's belly, even as smart as she is, she only thought that Eleanor would inevitably seek Nora's assistance.

In this way, the Knight Girl would no longer be able to ally with herself against Nora.

However, her daughter, without exchanging ideas with herself, not only instantly grasped the current situation, but also immediately contrived a plan to lure Aske and Nora away from Italy to Aachen.

On one hand, she devised a reason to send Eleanor away, to ensure their deceiving plan wouldn't be exposed while speaking to Nora alone.

On the other hand, fearing Nora's reluctance to help, she deliberately informed Aske first, using his paternal love to drive him. Therefore, even if Nora was still angry and unwilling to help, under Aske's pressure, she would tend to agree.

Her layers upon layers of details were meticulously infallible. Even more disturbing is how she devised the entire plan within minutes of finding out the situation!

My little Lilith is only 5 years old this year! Is it really alright to be so skilled in scheming and intrigue? Her plot planning ability exceeds even mine!

For a moment, Medea also fell into deep confusion over her daughter's education issues.
