Chapter 287: His Royal Highness the Prince (1)
Anbi, a once peaceful and prosperous country, suddenly suffered an unprecedented disaster some time ago.
The appearance of the devil, like the falling of night, brought endless fear and chaos to the people.
These demons used seductive words and illusions to deceive people's hearts, causing the originally gentle citizens to become crazy, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
The streets were filled with cries and scenes of brutality; the peace and tranquility of the country of Anbi was completely shattered.
Just when the people were in despair, a mysterious adult appeared.
He possesses magical powers that can purify the minds of those bewitched by demons and rescue them from the control of evil.
The people were full of admiration and love for him, and the king treated him with the most honorable courtesy, regarding him as the savior of the country.
However, the good times did not last long.
Suddenly, that adult was also bewitched by the devil. He became cruel and ruthless and killed many people of Anbi Kingdom with his own hands.
When his pure white wings were gradually eroded by darkness and turned black, people realized with horror that this adult was an angel. Oh no, a rebellious angel.
Fear and shock spread, but the rebellious angel had already left and was said to have gone to Hell to join the demons.
The country of Anbi fell into depression because of this disaster, and the people were in panic. There were rumors that the country was rejected by God and cursed by the devil.
The neighboring country saw the opportunity and attempted to take advantage of the situation to capture Anbi.
The king had no choice but to lead his troops to the battlefield himself to defend his homeland.
Just when the situation on the battlefield became tense, the queen suddenly announced that she was pregnant.
The soldiers seemed to have seen the dawn of hope. They firmly believed that this was God's favor again, sending a prince to them.
The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and they fought back the invading enemy forces in one go, achieving a glorious victory.
The whole country was rejoicing over the unborn child. They attributed the victory to this little life, which, although not yet born, had already won the love and expectation of the whole country.
Especially the king, he was over forty years old, and he and the queen had been childhood sweethearts. They were in love and got married early.
However, there had been no children for many years and the queen was still unable to conceive at the age of thirty.
The king remained loyal and refused to take a concubine, always insisting on staying with the queen.
Now, the queen's pregnancy is undoubtedly the greatest gift for their years of waiting, and the king is looking forward to the arrival of this child more than anyone else.
The king was convinced that it was this unborn prince who gave them the strength to win the war.
He was full of joy and anticipation, ready to welcome this little life that symbolized hope and the future.
The people of Anbi Kingdom were also preparing for the birth of this child, and their hearts were filled with beautiful visions of the future.
Ten months passed in a flash, and the people of Anbi were eagerly awaiting the birth of their child.
Every citizen prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Queen Katsuna could safely give birth to this little life that carries the hope of the country.
Queen Kessena, a gentle and kind-hearted woman, has black hair with a hint of brown due to her mixed-race identity, and her golden eyes usually sparkle with a warm light.
However, on this day, she looked somewhat dishevelled, lying in bed, her hands tightly gripping the mattress, sweating profusely, and crying out in pain.
The servants beside her encouraged her anxiously but calmly and cheered her up.
Outside the door, King Amphiphilus paced back and forth nervously. His golden hair looked a little dull in the sunlight, and his scarlet eyes revealed his inner anxiety.
The years have left their marks on his face, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes usually make him look gentle and refined, but at this moment, he looks embarrassed and flustered.
Whenever he heard the heart-wrenching screams of his beloved wife, his heart would wrench in his throat.
Suddenly, a clear baby cry broke through the tense air.
The king breathed a sigh of relief, and despite his servants' attempts to stop him, he pushed the door and walked into the delivery room.
The room still stank of blood, but he paid no attention to it, and walked straight to the bedside, holding the queen's hand, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
"Your Majesty, please show me the child."
Although Kessena's voice was weak, it was full of anticipation.
King Amphiphilus nodded, and the nanny beside him carefully handed the child to the king, and she said with a smile.
"Congratulations King and Queen, it's a prince."
Firus took the child, felt the child's soft little body, and couldn't help but feel tenderness in his heart.
His eyes were moist, he knew that this child was not only his and the queen's flesh and blood, but also the hope and future of the entire Anbi Kingdom.
He lowered his head slightly and his eyes fell on the child's little face. For a moment, he was stunned.
The child was very fair, with skin as white as snow, without a single blemish.
His eyes were big and bright, like two shining stars, sparkling with curiosity and pure light.
The exquisiteness between the eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been carved with the utmost care, and every line was just right, revealing an innate noble temperament.
The most eye-catching thing is his ruby-red eyes. They look at the king brightly, as if they can see through people's hearts and make people involuntarily attracted.
King Amphiphilus' heart softened when he saw these eyes that were so similar to his own.
An unprecedented warmth and joy surged in his chest, and he couldn't help but laugh.
That smile was full of pride and happiness. His eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be stretched out at this moment.
He gently touched the child's cheek with his fingers, feeling the soft touch. The child seemed to feel his father's touch and his little mouth opened slightly, as if in response.
The king's heart was deeply touched by this innocence and dependence, and he knew that from this moment on, his life would have a new meaning.
He will use all his love and strength to protect this little life and guide him to grow and become a great monarch.
"Your Majesty, let me see it quickly."
The king came back to his senses when he heard the voice of Queen Cathena. He stared at a child in a daze.
He held the child gently so that Kessena could see their son clearly.
Although the queen was tired, her eyes showed endless love and satisfaction when she saw the child's healthy little face.
Today, the sky of Anbi Kingdom seems to have been washed clean, as blue as jade, and the sun shines brightly on this ancient land.
On this beautiful day, the news that the queen gave birth to a healthy and lovely prince spread quickly to every corner of the country of Anbi like a spring breeze.
The news first came from the palace. The palace guards excitedly informed the city gate guards of the good news, and the guards could not wait to pass the news to passing vendors and pedestrians.
Soon, the streets and alleys of the entire capital were hotly discussing this exciting news.
People's faces were filled with joyful smiles, bright flags and streamers were hung on the streets, and a celebratory atmosphere filled the air.
The children were chasing and playing in the square. Their laughter was clear and melodious, as if they were cheering for the arrival of the newborn prince.
At the market, merchants brought out their best goods and sold them at preferential prices to express their celebration.
Bakers baked special bread, printed with the royal crest, and distributed it to the citizens.
The tavern owner generously took out the fine wine that he had collected for many years and invited everyone to drink together and toast to the prince.
In the square near the royal palace, musicians played cheerful music and dancers dressed in their best costumes performed traditional dances.
Citizens gathered in a circle, some clapped along with the music, some joined in the dance, and shared the joy together.
The church bells rang through the sky on this day, and the priests prayed to thank God for his gift and bless the newborn prince.
Inside and outside the church, devout citizens lined up in long queues, lit candles, and prayed silently for the prince's future and safety.
When night falls, the entire sky of Anbi Kingdom is lit up by brilliant fireworks. The colorful lights shine on people's faces, and hope flashes in everyone's eyes.
The lights in the palace were exceptionally bright. The king and queen waved to the people on the balcony, their faces filled with happy smiles.
