The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 756 A Lot Of Babies



"Finally! We're finally both free! Cheers, Taro!!!" Jayra beamed as she offered a glass to Taro. It had been a long year, a total of four seasons, in which she had to endure having Taro's eyes all over her. She was sure that the vampire couldn't wait to get back to his kingdom and finally be by his wife's side.

"Let's celebrate with just one glass before you leave, Taro. I bet you miss your wife desperately, I won't keep you away from her that much longer," Jayra teased and she chuckled seeing how red Taro's face was turning as he timidly scratched his head.

"Stop teasing him, Taro. Be kind to the hardworking man," Xenia interrupted as she brought out a platter of fruits for her sister Mineah who was sitting with them at the long table as well.

"I know I've said this again and again, but thank you so much dear Mineah for extending your bloodthread. It gave me more strength as it slowly removed the demon's blood and dark energy from my body. Thank you for saving my life… if not for you… I…" Jayra said as her eyes started to well up.

"You've said enough thanks already, Jayra. Big sister Xenia would have also done the same if I weren't there. It just so happened that I was quicker as I knew the spells while she didn't." Mineah commented with a kind smile.

Jayra chuckled, "With King Darius there, he would have definitely knocked her out too just so that she wouldn't have put her life at risk. I'm just fortunate that King Nikolai was not present at that time as well," She let out a sigh and couldn't help but say once again, "Again, I'm really so grateful for this second chance in life…"

But Jayra was not able to finish her sentence, as Mineah had let out a loud wail indicating she was in pain, the happy ambiance suddenly turned weary with the sudden wincing of Queen Mineah. Jayra's eyes widened as she hurried to her side.

"She's about to give birth!" she declared as soon as she had touched Queen Mineah's big bump. In a flash, King Nikolai appeared before them and quickly took Mineah in his arms.

"I'll bring her to the royal physician," he informed before disappearing in a flash.

"They brought the royal physician with them. She'll be delivering the child safely in their camp. I'll head over there as well now," Xenia said before quickly leaving, almost running out of the tent.

Jayra's face paled… She was a talented healer, but delivering a child was not her forte. For some reason, she was scared of handling the delivery of babies.

"Aren't you a healer?" Taro voiced out beside her. She and Taro had both been left behind inside the meeting tent of Cordon camp.

"Well, I can heal Queen Mineah after the delivery of her child so that she can recover soon after giving birth." Jayra said tentatively, "Child delivery is not my specialty, it's beyond my capabilities," she continued, awkwardly.

Taro got up from his chair and said with a smile, "Right, I was about to bid you farewell. Till we meet again, Lady Jayra."

"Thank you, Taro, for looking after me throughout this long year," Jayra hummed with a smile.

Taro gave her a curt nod which she returned before he disappeared.

"Vampires," Jayra scoffed with a grin, but that grin disappeared immediately and was replaced by a frown on her face as she quickly stood up and ran to an area where she could puke.

[What's going on? Are you alright? What's with these emotions I'm feeling on you? Are you not feeling well? I'm coming to where you are now,] Bartos worriedly asked through the bond. Jayra gulped as she wiped her mouth and cleaned it.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

[My stomach suddenly felt weird. I vomited. I also feel dizzy. This is so sudden,] Jayra answered with a frown. She suddenly felt sick. She wondered if it was an after-effect of removing Mineah's divine bloodthread from her body. But that was impossible… 

Bartos rushed inside and quickly carried Jayra in his arms. She smiled at him and snuggled into her husband's chest. He was so warm. "Queen Mineah is giving birth to her firstborn child right now," she said with a smile. "I'm certain that the baby will be adorable, just like our Queen's twins…" Jayra murmured. Apart from being happy for them, she couldn't help being envious whenever she would hear her friends getting pregnant or already giving birth.

She then frowned because Bartos suddenly became quiet, "Is something wrong?" Jayra asked, concerned, but Bartos didn't speak and continued further into their tent and gently put her down onto their makeshift bed.

He bent down onto his knees in front of her so that their faces were now on the same level. Jayra rapidly blinked as she cupped Bartos's face and continued to probe, "What's wrong? Are you crying?" Jayra asked with a creased forehead, Bartos's eyes had started to well up, and now tears suddenly rolled down his face.

"I love you so much, my dear wife!" he said, followed by a gentle kiss on her lips. "I can smell it. There's another scent inside your body, Jayra! We're having a baby! Thank you, thank you!" Bartos exclaimed.

She was speechless as Bartos peppered her face with kisses. She was pregnant?! It felt like deja vu because this same thing had happened to Queen Mineah nine months ago.

  Xenia was giving birth to her twins and their King, Darius had smelled another scent in Mineah's body indicating she was pregnant and it was quickly confirmed by the royal physician, and now her? 

She even had to pinch herself just to make sure she was not dreaming. She never felt the changes in her body, maybe it was because of Mineah's bloodthread… And now that it was gone…

Jayra closed her eyes as she touched her stomach. A wide smile spread across her face as soon as she was able to feel what her husband declared. She was indeed pregnant! Finally, after more than a year of hoping, she was finally pregnant!

She opened her eyes and hugged her husband tightly. "Oh, I can't believe it! I'm sure Mother and Father will be so happy! We should share with them the good news right away!"

"Yes, I will talk to them now through the-"

"No! Wait!" Jayra stopped Bartos as he began to stand. She gently pulled him closer with a mischievous smile and said, "We should savor this surprise and tell them properly. We have to tell them personally and not just through the bond." 

"Are you sure? I mean, they will immediately know once they see you. It's not like they can't differentiate your additional scent, Jayra. Even Bella will know for sure." Bartos asked.

"You only sensed it quickly because of the mate bond, Bartos. It's not that strong yet." Jayra lovingly whispered to her husband, "I think you're able to smell it now that Mineah's divine bloodthread has fully left my body. It's been helping repair my inner energy, removing the dark energy as well as the demon blood in me. The blood thread seemed to have somehow cast a barrier which is why I myself was not able to feel our baby growing inside my body." Jayra murmured with a sigh. It was just her speculation, nevertheless what mattered now was this blessing.

"Do you think our baby is a boy or girl? I should make a list of names now to choose from!" Bartos excitedly hummed before pulling her in again for another warm hug. "Thank you so much, my dear wife! You've made me the happiest future father on earth!" Bartos burst as he once again showered every part of Jayra's face with kisses.

Jayra could no longer contain her tears of happiness from streaming out her eyes, as she giggled at her husband's joy and nonstop kissing as he repeatedly told her that he loved her. She had really thought that having a baby wouldn't be possible because Devon's demon bloodthread had destroyed the inner energy in her body. Yet here she was, carrying and growing a child inside of her. She was fortunate and truly grateful to Queen Mineah's bloodthread that had been inside of her and managed to repair everything.

"I'm truly indebted to Mineah, Bartos. If not for her bloodthread this wouldn't be possible. I just hope that someday, a time will come when I can repay her for everything…" Jayra murmured with a sigh.

"We truly are indebted to her, but for now treasuring your life and taking care of your body now is one way of repaying Queen Mineah's kindness, and showing her that her efforts had paid off. We must show her how healthy you've become, so we must have a lot of babies!" Bartos declared with a wide and naughty grin.
