#465 - Chapter 199 The Princess is Born
Who knew, at that very moment, a strong labor pain surged like a tidal wave, catching Daenerys completely off guard. The intense pain turned her face pale, and her suffering was evident.
Liu Yuan immediately felt a wet sensation on his arm. He instinctively looked down and saw a large wet patch beneath Daenerys. Her water had broken! After all, it wasn't his first time being a father, so he knew what this meant.
With things as they were, there was no other choice. He gently placed Daenerys on Rhaegal's soft wing membrane, saying helplessly, "I told you not to be stubborn. Looks like the baby's coming. I'll go get a midwife."
However, at that moment, Daenerys suddenly reached out and grabbed him tightly, shaking her head gently and whispering, "No need, it's too late. I can handle this. Just stay here with me."
Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, feeling conflicted, but ultimately decided to stay by Daenerys's side. He held her slightly damp hand tightly, carefully and slowly channeling his true essence into her body.
Time passed, and the frequency of the contractions increased. The expression on Daenerys's face showed more and more pain. She clenched her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain that felt like torture in hell with all her strength.
Seeing her like this, Liu Yuan felt particularly distressed. He quickly took out a copper basin from his space. Without thinking, he put his hand into it and manually boiled the water. Before long, the cold water began to boil. Then, he picked up a warm towel and gently wiped the beads of sweat from Daenerys's forehead, not forgetting to massage the inside of her calves, gently kneading and pressing the Sanyinjiao acupoint, as this would help with a smooth delivery.
Finally, after another round of intense contractions, the baby's head emerged faintly. The entire birthing process became increasingly difficult, but even so, Daenerys gritted her teeth and didn't back down, persevering all the way. She took a deep breath of air filled with hope and strength, and then exerted all her strength. Finally, with a loud cry, she successfully brought this new life into the world.
This was the crystallization of their love, and also their first little baby. Liu Yuan happily and carefully cut the umbilical cord connecting the mother and daughter, and then gently washed the baby's pink body with warm water, afraid of hurting the delicate little angel.
The little life before him was healthy and adorable. She was as quiet as a blooming flower, not crying at all. Only her bright, curious eyes kept darting around, as if she wanted to see the whole world.
Liu Yuan had memories from his own infancy, so he knew very well that everything around her was just blurry, chaotic lines for this newborn baby. So, he gently reached out and touched his daughter's round, apple-like cheek. In the blink of an eye, a chubby little hand reflexively grabbed his finger. At that moment, Liu Yuan's heart melted, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What an adorable little thing!"
However, Daenerys, who had just gone through a difficult labor, never took her eyes off her child. "Let me see the baby!" Postpartum, her face was as pale as paper, and her body was particularly weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her over. But even so, the excitement she couldn't suppress was expressed unreservedly in her eyes.
Liu Yuan happily and carefully placed the baby in Daenerys's arms, saying joyfully, "Dear, take a look at our little princess. She's so beautiful! And look, her little hands and feet are so strong. She's so healthy!"
Hearing this, Daenerys's originally tense breathing gradually calmed down, and her strength slowly began to recover. At this moment, her eyes were only on the little one in her arms, her face filled with happiness and contentment, as if the whole world was just the two of them.
Rhaegal also brought his huge head closer, gently nuzzling Daenerys. At this time, Liu Yuan looked around and finally found a large bamboo basket. He calmly put the precious dragon eggs into the basket, his every move revealing casualness. After all, these dragon eggs were very hard, so there was no need to worry about them being damaged.
According to Valyrian records, dragons do not need to incubate their eggs personally. Usually, they only need to put the dragon eggs in a place they consider safe, and then they can ignore them.
After all, not all dragon eggs can hatch, and even if the hatchlings are successful, they have to find food on their own in the early stages. However, adult dragons will actively protect their young offspring and actively share their food, but even so, the mortality rate of young dragons is still very high. So even if Liu Yuan was going to take these dragon eggs away now, Rhaegal didn't have any special reaction.
At this time, Liu Yuan was carrying the basket full of dragon eggs on his back, holding Daenerys tightly in his arms. The little one was comfortably leaning in her mother's warm embrace, her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, as if she was about to fall asleep.
When they walked out of the dragon's nest, Missandei and the handmaidens immediately surrounded them. Liu Yuan quickly said, "It's windy outside. Quickly clean up a room in the fortress and let the Queen rest first. Then send someone down the mountain quickly to bring up the warm sedan chair. Remember to send a message to Ben Plumm and have him send dragon guards to protect these dragon eggs." After saying that, Liu Yuan carefully held Daenerys and followed a group of handmaidens towards the room prepared for the Queen.
Along the way, he carefully held the mother and daughter in his arms, his eyes fixed on that adorable little face, never getting tired of looking at her.
Finally back in the room, Liu Yuan tiptoed to the bed, afraid of waking his sleeping baby daughter. He slowly bent down and gently placed Daenerys on the bed, carefully tucking them in with the quilt. Then, he slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, not wanting to take his eyes off them for a moment, just quietly guarding them, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time.
Just then, a noisy commotion suddenly came from outside the door, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly rippling. Liu Yuan frowned, feeling quite displeased. He stood up with a "whoosh" and quickly walked towards the door.
Opening the door, he saw that it was Ben Plumm leading a group of serious-looking dragon guards, rushing over. Liu Yuan quickly greeted him, "Shh~ Keep it down, the Queen is resting. Ben Plumm, come here, I have something to tell you." He and Ben Plumm huddled together, whispering.
