13 Stronghold Enhancement Arc

13-14 Sally

The door opened, and Sally Milleshan peeked outside. She alternated staring at Locke and Linus.

“Which one of you is Sera’s husband Linus?”

She asked with an angry voice.

“I’m Linus.”

Sally approached Linus and slapped his cheek hard.

“It hurts! What was that for?!”

Linus was about to complain but decided not to, since Sally was glaring at him.

“This idiot husband! Your wife was having a hard time delivering because of you!”

She further yelled at Linus, taking him by surprise.

“Listen, pregnant women shouldn’t get chilled. And what did you have her do? Going in the river to collect magic sandstones? No wonder she was having a breech delivery!”

A fetus in the mother’s uterus was said to be in the breech delivery position at first. After 7 months (about 30 weeks), the fetus would naturally shift into the correct position for normal delivery with the head at the bottom. However, if the mother’s abdomen got chilled, the fetus would feel uncomfortable and would shift back into the breech delivery position.

It appeared that Sera went into Elme River when she was more than 7 months pregnant to look for magic sandstones. That was why her baby’s position flipped in her womb.

“I-I’m sorry ….”

Linus bowed deeply in apology. Sally retorted,

“You’re apologizing to the wrong person. Go apologize to your wife.”

Sally smacked Linus in the head.

“Ouch! … So Sera is ….”

“Yeah, she’s fine. The baby is probably having the first bath right now. You can go inside. Go take care of your wife and meet your baby.”

“Y-yes!”

Linus excitedly hopped inside the house like a rabbit.

“Hmm, I was nervous.”

Sally was relaxing at the village mayor Giebeck’s house. Sally was staying at the village mayor’s house for the night.

She was offered to stay at the Nido Castle, but she wanted to stay closer to Linus’ house in case of an emergency.

“No, Ms. Sally, thank you for your help.”

The village mayor bowed showing his gratitude.

“No, I may be the one being saved here.”

“Huh?”

“Actually ….”

Sally briefly explained what happened in Tellurus.

“I see …. Well, this village has Jin, so we’re no longer surprised at most things.”

Giebeck was completely unaffected by the story of using purified blood to make medicine. Sally was relieved, but a little disappointed at the same time.

“Um … when you said Jin, he’s done that much for this village?”

“Yes, over there … well, you can’t really see it clearly since it’s already nightfall. But he built Nidou Castle overnight, and before I knew it, Kaina Village has become a leased territory.”

Giebeck was certainly exaggerated when he said the castle was made overnight, but that was how he imagined it.

“H-huh … eh? Leased territory?”

“That’s right. He would personally help us request anything to the king.”

“Um … what country was this again?”

“This is the Klein Kingdom.”

“Huh? … Oh, speaking of which ….”

Sally was recalling that Jin said he would use an Artifact to guide her to the Klein Kingdom.

“I missed the details … anyway, I’ll ask Jin tomorrow.”

That night, Sally felt satisfied and slept soundly for the first time in a long time.

The next morning, Sally was recommended to visit the hot springs. She was accompanied by the village mayor’s niece, Barbara.

Sally was 48, while Barbara was 17 years old. Barbara had lost her mother long ago. Although Sally was older than her mother, Barbara was longing for the motherly love Sally showed, so they hit it off right away.

“Wow, this is nice. All the people in this village can get in here, right?”
