Chapter 924: Birthdays (Part 2)

"Experience." Faluel said with a sigh, wrapping the babies in warm cloths before handing them to Rena. "You seem to be an interesting young lady, dear Lith’s sister. I hope we’ll meet again in warmer circumstances. Bye!"

Faluel disappeared so fast that Tista could only choke on all her questions while Rena found herself thanking empty air. She felt chipper and energetic as if instead of giving birth to triplets she had just returned from a day in a spa.

"Lith, how do you think I should call them?" Rena asked.

"Why do you ask me instead of Senton?"

"Well, because I got four Healers to thank for this miracle but only three babies. Someone has to be left out this time." Rena replied.

"Only three? This time?" Lith didn’t know whether to be more horrified at his sister belittling the workload the little monsters in her arms demanded from the whole family or the idea she might get pregnant again.

"On one hand, I already named Leria after you, but on the other, it’s you who brought Faluel here and even helped me in the delivery. I’m not going to lie, I have no clue what part Quylla played in the procedure, let alone that guy whose name I don’t even remember." Rena kept thinking out loud, uncaring of the noise that the babies and the members of the family who had finally had access to the room made.

Elina was crying with joy, Senton was asking the Healers of the family if everyone was alright, Tista was demanding answers about Faluel’s identity, and everyone wanted to hold the children.

Even Aran and Leria wanted to help with the newborns.

"Look, I don’t care who you name them after, the only thing that matters is that all of you are alright. Just some friendly advice, we can’t have the whole family starting with the L, so you should name a kid after Zekell." Lith pointed his finger at Senton without him noticing.

"I disagree." Senton said to Rena. "I love my parents, but it’s not because of them that we were able to marry and I can’t forget all the help your family gave to us so I’d rather name one of our children after Elina, if that’s okay with you."

His words made Elina cry harder and the babies, scared by the noise, decided to tag along in a choir that crushed Lith’s ears.

After a long debate that Lith avoided by asking Zinya for sanctuary, the three new members of the Verhen family received their names. Falco was the baby boy suffering from the Strangler disease, named after the person that had allowed him to survive against all odds.

The baby girl was named Teryon after Tista and Nessa after Nalrond who had kept her safe during the procedure. Rena chose Teryon as first name to thank her sister. It was only thanks to her loving care that nothing bad had ever happened during Lith’s absence.

Last, but not least, Lenart Quontar was named after his uncle, for having made the impossible possible time and time again.

One week later, Ernas Mansion.

The gala associated with Lith’s birthday took place the evening before the private party, so that on the stroke of midnight the two events overlapped and both took place on the correct date.

Marchioness Distar didn’t let him repeat his offer twice, glad to leave the burden to someone else. Between her duty as ruler of the Distar region and Supreme Commander of the Queen’s Corps, she had barely seen the light of day ever since the undead invasion had begun. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
