Upon hearing the good news, everyone in the castle hall immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the previously somewhat somber atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Congratulations, Earl Massey!"
Princess Daenerys raised her wine glass and drained it, congratulating Earl Massey.
After all, in this era, childbirth for women was like stepping onto a battlefield; even among the Targaryen Royal Family, almost half of the princesses had died on the birthing bed.
One must know that royal princesses had the best sanitary conditions and the most excellent college graduates to assist them in childbirth, so one can imagine how high the mortality rate for ordinary pregnant women must have been.
Daniella knew that Emma would also die in childbirth in the future, so she had always been researching this area.
She found that, apart from difficult labor, most pregnant women died from puerperal fever caused by infections due to unhygienic conditions during childbirth.
Therefore, in these years, she had delivered many pregnant women alongside Tigris Scholar and provided him with many constructive suggestions, greatly improving his delivery skills and saving many pregnant women.
And ever since she took in the Forest Child Herbs, Daniella had arranged for many maids to specifically learn medical skills and delivery techniques from her. The herbal remedies from the Children of the Forest still had very miraculous effects; in these past few months, they had saved the lives of countless pregnant women and their children.
Before long, the maids brought the two cleaned children to the castle hall. The Old Scholar, though weary, had a relieved smile on his face.
"This time, I must sincerely thank Princess Daniella for the dragonflame wine. Originally, my wife was already exhausted, but after drinking the dragonflame wine, she quickly recovered some strength and then gave birth to these two children in one go."
Earl Massey immediately thanked Daniella profusely upon hearing this.
"This time, I truly must thank Her Royal Highness! If Her Royal Highness had not come to Stone Dance, I don't know what the outcome would have been for my wife and these two children!"
Speaking of this, Earl Massey couldn't help but feel a lingering fear and the joy of surviving a disaster.
At this moment, Earl Massey's brother, Lucifer Massey, joked,
"I think you should also thank the storm outside, brother. If this storm hadn't arrived in time, Her Royal Highness wouldn't have come to our Stone Dance!"
Lucifer's words immediately made everyone burst into laughter. At this moment, Laila, who had already sorted her luggage, took out a dragonbone dagger and a diamond necklace and handed them to Daniella.
Since she happened to be there for the birth of these two children, Daniella had to express her congratulations. Moreover, House Massey had always been loyal to the Targaryen Family, so these two gifts, though valuable, were worth it.
The storm came quickly and left quickly, ending in just over an hour. After the storm dissipated, the sky was now as clear and blue as if it had been washed.
After the rain cleared, the castle servants also herded the sheep over, numbering over two hundred.
The dragon had just undergone high-intensity flying and had been drenched by the storm for over an hour, so they were now ravenous. Seeing the servants herding the sheep, they immediately became restless.
However, Daniella had not yet given the command, so even though they were very eager to eat, they still obediently remained in place.
However, Sea Smoke, who had followed along, was very restless and immediately tried to pounce on the sheep to eat. But Miraxis, who rushed out, directly stopped him.
Although Miraxis was small in size, her voice was very loud. Her high-pitched roar made even the large-headed red dragon Simoros look at her.
But how could Sea Smoke put Miraxis, who was less than half his size, in his eyes? So he immediately prepared to ram Miraxis aside.
However, this time he misjudged. Although Miraxis, the social bandit, was small, her temper was very volatile, and her movements were agile.
Since Sea Smoke didn't give her face, Miraxis directly pounced on Sea Smoke, and her sharp Dragon Wings immediately left several deep scratches on Sea Smoke's neck.
The pained Sea Smoke immediately became ferocious and spat a mouthful of scorching Dragonflame at Miraxis. However, Miraxis easily dodged it.
Miraxis then flew and maneuvered to get behind Sea Smoke and directly spat a mouthful of Dragonflame at his head, making Sea Smoke stumble.
Moreover, Sea Smoke's actions immediately aroused the displeasure of Xiao Bellerion and the others. One must know that Miraxis was the favorite of the three little ones, so she naturally would not be allowed to be bullied.
So Xiao Bellerion, Grey Shadow, and Vagharana immediately flapped their Dragon Wings and attacked Sea Smoke. Seeing them all attack at once, Sea Smoke knew things were going to be bad and immediately turned and ran.
But his speed simply couldn't compare to Xiao Bellerion and the others, not to mention that the faster Miraxis was constantly trying to obstruct him?
So he had only flown a few hundred meters before Xiao Bellerion and the others caught up. The hot-tempered Xiao Bellerion swooped down and bit one of his Dragon Wings, and his Dragon Wings frantically tore at his chest, quickly spilling hot Dragonflame.
Daniella in the castle heard the dragon's roar and quickly ran towards the dragon gate. But she just saw Sea Smoke being attacked.
One Xiao Bellerion alone could easily overpower him, and at this moment, the equally hot-tempered Vagharana had also bitten his other Dragon Wings.
Grey Shadow and Miraxis then directly spat Dragonflame at his Dragon Wings, quickly setting his Dragon Wings on fire. Daniella, seeing this, quickly used telepathy to stop their actions.
However, Sea Smoke was already severely wounded at this point. Even if Xiao Bellerion and the others stopped attacking, he still screamed and fell from mid-air, then crashed heavily onto the nearby grass.
But thankfully, although Xiao Bellerion and the others were angry, they didn't really try to kill him, otherwise, Sea Smoke would probably have been torn to pieces by now.
Daniella didn't know Sea Smoke's specific condition, so she quickly ran towards him. Every dragon was a treasure to the Targaryen Family, and there could be no mishaps.
"Good, good!"
Daniella stopped a dozen meters from Sea Smoke. She saw that although he was covered in scars, none of them were serious injuries; they were just bloody and a bit frightening. Only his Dragon Wings was relatively more severely injured, and he would probably need some time to recover before he could fly again.
Injured dragon are more wary of everything and everyone around them. Seeing that he was not in serious danger, Daniella no longer approached him but turned and walked towards her dragon.
dragon are highly intelligent creatures, and there is also a strict hierarchy among them. Of course, this hierarchy is spontaneously formed through flying, roaring, and fighting during their interactions.
For example, among the dragon currently under Daniella's command, Dreamfire is in the highest position. Whenever they eat, if Daniella is not there to control them, she must eat first.
