"However, now the restaurant has encountered a problem. There is a shortage of wheat flour and fish, and we cannot provide some of the food that customers want. This has caused many people to complain..." The restaurant director introduced the situation.

"Hey, there is no way! Because of the war, the supply of grain and marine fish in the entire alliance is very tight, and it is not just our sadness..." Christia sighed and said seriously: "I It is recommended to post a notice on the door of every restaurant to explain the reason to the customers and apologize to them. At the same time, it is recommended that customers order more food such as beef and mutton, such as beef and mutton, fried beef, roast leg of lamb... Delia wrote to me from Grumentum and told me that there were too many cattle and sheep raised in Lucania this year. If they are not consumed in large quantities, it is still a small matter for cattle and sheep to lose fat in winter. It’s more likely to freeze to death a lot, so the herders will lose more, so we have to buy as many livestock as possible from Lucania...

Furthermore, considering that now is a difficult time, the people of the entire league are facing food shortages, we will get high profits at this time, and we will suffer from the people's resentment! So I decided to lower the price of all food and only make a small profit to pay the employees. Before the war is over, we must tide over the difficulties with the people of Dionia! "

"Yes, ma'am! I'll do it right away!" The restaurant director responded more simply.

Christoia yawned. Seeing that the hostess was a little sleepy, Asuna immediately stopped the meeting and asked the supervisors to go back first.

"Madam, you are about to give birth, why are you so laborious! You have to think about the child in your stomach!..." Asuna complained while supporting her.

Christoya held her swollen belly lightly with her hands, and said softly: "If such a big thing happens in the Alliance, things will naturally increase. If you don't deal with it, you can't handle it. In a few days, Andrea will Will come and take over these things for me temporarily, so I can give birth to the baby with peace of mind..."

"Mrs. Andrea is coming, that's great!" Asuna said happily. She helped Kristia walk slowly in the backyard to eliminate Kristia’s Swelling of the legs caused by long-term sitting.

"Andrea will also bring her two children back to Turri (one of them is the son of her ex-husband), so that Bagul’s father can meet his grandson well to satisfy his Missing..." Christoya was a little emotional: Andrea had been married before, had a child, and married a family of foreign leaders, which can be accepted by Baggul’s huge family and get along with each other. Andrea has made a lot of effort...

"Adoris and Klo will be very happy!" Azuna laughed.

Christoya suddenly remembered and asked: "Is Agnes back?"

"Not yet. Madam, I wonder if it was because the battle failed, not only the number of people going to worship the Temple of Hades increased, but the number of believers in the Temple of Hera also increased, so Mrs. Agnes was not busy yet. End..." Asuna guessed.

"Mischief!" Kristia frowned and said anxiously: "She is also pregnant, so how can she ignore her body! Send someone to call her back and say it's mine Command!"

"Yes!" Asuna knew that the mistress said one thing, and was busy calling other female slaves.

At this time, the backyard door was pushed open.

"Mother, I'm back." Cynthia, carrying a bag with school supplies, took the initiative to catch up, and supported Kristia.

"Where is Adoris?"

"He and his classmates are playing rugby in the school square."

"I hope he will not go home after dark, like yesterday."

"He won't, I have warned him." Cynthia comforted Kristonia, and then asked with concern: "Mother, has father got any news? This afternoon, everyone knows that we are in Xiliting. The news of the defeat didn’t even give me any thoughts to go to class. They asked me one after another,'When will my father lead the army back?'"

Christoia turned her head to look at her adopted daughter, who was about to reach her shoulders. She remembered her guard against Davers when she first met, but now she is proud of him, and she can’t help but feel relieved: "Don’t worry. , Your father will come back soon!"

"Hmm!" Cynthia nodded vigorously.

"Mom, I'm back!" A childish voice came from outside the door.

"This little troublemaker is back!" Kristia showed a petting smile on her face. During this time, as she was close to giving birth, Kristia could no longer accompany the energetic little Klow, so she had to do it every day. Let the slave girl take him to the square to play.

"Mother, I'll go with my brother." Cynthia greeted her sensibly.

The slave girl who came in then shouted excitedly: "Madam, good news! Good news! Lucania's messenger is back, saying that the master has won a big victory in Poseidonia! Say yes... Destroyed more than 20,000 enemies..."

"It's great!" Kristonia couldn't help but yelled out. Daves led the army for so long, how could she not worry about it! But as the mistress, she usually has to be calm, and this time she is really relieved...

She just finished shouting this sentence, and when she relaxed, she felt a flow of heat between her legs and her abdomen began to ache.

She once had a childbirth experience, she immediately stood firm, supported the stone table with her hands, and said in a steady tone as much as possible: "Asuna, Assuna, I'm going to give birth, go, go and inform He Elps..."

………………………………

Just as the Daves Mansion was in a mess for Christoja’s childbirth, the news of "The Archon led the army to victory over the Samonais in Lucania" was like a warm breeze to appease the Turian people There was a panic at the beginning. Among the people worshiping at the Hades Temple, someone publicly shouted the slogan "Let Master Daves be King" for the first time.

However, at dusk, the messenger rushing to the south broke the calming mood of the people again. "The Syracuse army broke through the city of Siriting, not only looting the city, but also changing the people of the city. The shocking news of "become a slave" once again shocked the people of Turii and the Senate. The senators who were still hesitating quickly made a decision: agree to Felicius’s proposal and send a new sixth The legion went to Crimea to protect the security of Dionian territory.

……………………………

This night, when the Tureys were tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep, a newborn baby fell to the ground at Davers's mansion.

"Madam, it's a healthy and lovely girl!" Asuna hugged the newborn child who had wiped her body, ligated the umbilical cord, and wrapped it in clean linen, cautiously came to the bedside, showing Show it to Kristia.

Already exhausted and feeble, Christia turned her head to the side with difficulty, looking at her daughter who was scratching her hands and crying, a kind smile appeared on her sweaty pretty face.

"...Eunice...her name is Eunice..." Christia remembered the agreement with Daves.

The people who had been waiting anxiously outside the bedroom were relieved when they heard the good news that "mother and daughter are safe."

In this era, giving birth to a child is a big and difficult thing. Dystocia is a common occurrence in childbirth, although Daves told Helps and other doctors about the fertility precautions he had heard from his previous life, and he also proposed to bring together the experienced midwives of Dionia and receive professional training. , Making it a doctor in the hospital who specializes in delivering babies... The implementation of these measures has allowed Dionia's neonatal mortality rate to be controlled to a certain extent, but its mortality rate is still not low.

"Little Crowe, you have a sister!" Agnes said softly, stroking little Crowe's head.

"Sister?! Can I often play with her?!" Little Cloe asked happily.

"Not now, just wait for her to grow up." Aegness explained to him, while clutching her bulging belly. She sincerely hopes that she will be able to give birth smoothly in a few months. .

"That's great, it's a younger sister!" Adoris also yelled happily. Little Cloe pestered him to play with him every day. He didn't want to have another brother, then he would be annoying.

Cynthia is also very happy, she can finally have a small attendant like other female classmates.

Eunice has been welcomed by the whole family since she was born.

……………………………

The next day, when the Turíy Senate was gathering the newly-built Sixth Legion soldiers in Victory Square and preparing to let them go south and garrison Crimea, the envoy of Syracuse Damocles walked in with his head high. To the city of Corenia.

Damocles brought Dionysius’ ultimatum to Corenia: surrender immediately, otherwise the city of Silitian would be its example!

For a long time, Corenia has been the front line of the Crotone League against Lokri, and its people are full of confidence in the defense of the city, mainly because Crotone and other allies are behind it. support. But this time the General Assembly failed, Dionia and Crotone retreated, Siritin and Trina were captured, and all the forces supporting it were lost.

Courenia is already in deep siege. And they had long heard that Syracuse had a strong siege ability, and once captured the Carthage’s Sicilian town-Motia, and the news that came just now surprised them even more: Siracusa lost his defense in half a day. (Syracuse and Lokri forces tightly sealed the city of Corenia, so that no one knew that Siritim’s fall was due to Dionysius’ treachery), which made the Corenian people lose their defense against the defensive city. At the same time of confidence, the tragic experience of the Xiliting people also frightened them.

The Corenians believe that even if Dionia and Crotone have a chance to counterattack in the future, Corenia has already fallen by then, and they themselves have become slaves and be sold far away. Even if the city of Nia recovers, it has no meaning to them...

Finally, the citizens' assembly decided unanimously: surrender to Syracuse!
