"This is your daughter." Bert said, taking the little infant out of the little basket and handing her to Mila who couldn't help, but started crying to see her daughter for the first time. Her daughter stared at Mila with nothing, but curiosity of the woman in front of her.

'T-This is my child.' Mila saw her daughter's similar silky violet hair with her father's red violet eyes. "Your eyes remind me very much of your father... so similar." Rubbing her thumb against her daughter's cheek, she could only feel her heart settle down with joy. "If only he could see what you look like right now, but... I know that he is busy trying to help the people and protect us." Mila had pillows placed behind her, allowing her to be able to sit up and hold her child close to her.

Bert did not know if he should say anything, but he had noticed a royal family symbol from the Zameth kingdom on Mila's daughter which lay on the left side of the shoulder of her little body. "Lady Mil-" Bert had said in a low tone, barely allowing anyone to hear him at all when he was cut off.

"Bert, thank you for helping me and my child. If you weren't here then... I do not know what could have happened to me and my child." Mila kept crying and holding her daughter who was now sleeping and exhausted from playing with Henry not too long ago. 'I am truly fortunate this lifetime to meet with so many great people who are by my side.' Mila was sniffling, the tears were now out with her feeling joy all over to know that her life would slowly get better; little by little.

'I will tell her another time. Right now, it would be best to allow a mother and daughter to bond since they have not seen each other since the beginning.' Bert decided not to mention it since he didn't want to ruin the moment for Mila and her daughter. It would make things too awkward if he were to mention it to her while she was trying to bond with her daughter. "What do you plan on naming her?" Bert held a smile, knowing that Mila had yet to name her daughter after just meeting her. Henry kept calling Mila's daughter 'little baby' since he did not know what else to name her. Bert did not know what else to say either, but he left it there since Henry stuck to it.

"Hmm... how about..." Mila had to think awhile about what name would suit her daughter. 'What name would suit her? I never really thought much about it.' Mila felt as though something would come to mind, but she then recalled a name that she had thought of once. "Hersilia." Mila had thought about it for the last few months that she carried her daughter, she had almost forgotten now that she was awake after a week.

"That name would fit her beautifully. Delicate and tender." Bert knew the meaning of the name which he found to be accurate when he was raising Hersilia for the week that Mila was out cold. 'She is indeed delicate. She seems to have a bit of a struggle with some various things that she needs to adapt to.' Bert did notice that Hersilia was quite sensitive to some food or formulas that they made for her to ingest.

Mila was glad that her eyes were now more clear, allowing her to see her dear child's face without the use of Blizzard's eyes. She felt sad though that Hersilia's father could not see her. 'ZH, I hope you will be able to see your daughter soon.' Mila sighed thinking about how ZH was for the last few months that she had been recuperating and carrying their first child. 'We are both waiting for you, my dear love.'

"Your majesty, it seems as though mother and daughter are fine. The mother had thankfully survived the labor." Eulalius was worried about Mila since she had the demon orb inside her in order for her child to survive when she nearly miscarried her. 'This is really an amazing scene to witness.' He had to be honest about this whole thing since most in this case would not survive or be alive at this moment.

"That's good. A child cannot survive without its mother. She thankfully allowed the doctor to perform the cesarean section on her. If she didn't then the child and her would have died if they did not take action soon." Luke said, knowing that no regular human could survive with a demon orb inside of them. 'A demon orb is like a disease inside a mortal's body, so they would not be able to live long if they were to continue to keep it in their body.' Luke did find it odd at this point now. It was different between a human and demon which he found strange that the child managed to survive. 'A child would not live long since the demon orb was transferred to them, but the child was safe and healthy for some unknown reason.' Luke knew that there was surely something different about the mortal body that his beloved lover had been reborn into. "Eulalius, keep an eye on them for now."
