Chapter 9: Dream
As the priestess foretold, four months passed before the twins stirred from their slumber. The lord wasted no time, urgently commanding the butler, "Increase security and maintain constant vigilance over the twins for the next four months."
Over the ensuing months, security around the twins' room tightened, with devoted servants standing watch day and night.
After the long wait, signs of life began to show in the twins. Their bodies grew as they absorbed the latent power within their blood. Finally, the baby girl awoke, her cries piercing the air.
"Summon His Majesty! Call for the priestess! The twins have stirred!" the head maid commanded, her voice filled with excitement.
In a flurry of anticipation, the lord and lady hurried to their children's side, the priestess trailing behind, her presence a calming reassurance.
"Let the priestess examine the twins first," the lord instructed, his heart racing with anticipation and worry.
The priestess carefully inspected the twins, her expression softening with relief. "Fear not, my lord. The twins are healthy. The baby girl is awake and thriving," she announced, her words a balm to the anxious parents.
"And what of the boy?" the lord pressed, his concern etched on his face.
"The boy will awaken soon. He has fully assimilated the power and is peacefully resting. His awakening is imminent," the priestess assured, her voice brimming with confidence.
Relief washed over the lord's face, replaced by a radiant smile. "Today, we shall celebrate their awakening with a grand party and bestow upon them their names," he declared, his voice filled with joy.
As the butler hastened to make preparations for the celebration, the baby boy began to stir from his slumber. Blinking away the haze of sleep, he found himself surrounded by unfamiliar sights and faces.
"The last thing I remember... the goddess of Reincarnation..." his thoughts trailed off as he slowly processed his new reality.
Realization dawned on him, and with it, a surge of overwhelming emotion. "So, this is my new family," he thought, his heart swelling with warmth and gratitude.
Feeling the tender embrace of his new mother, tears of joy welled up in his eyes. "Mama...," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion.
The lord, holding his baby girl close, smiled tearfully. "And she is Dad's little princess," he murmured, his voice trembling with love.
In that moment, surrounded by the love of his new family, the boy felt an indescribable sense of belonging. "This warmth... this love... this is what it means to have a family," he realized, his heart overflowing with happiness.
