the deadliest rose (COMPLETE)

Chapter 31

(DPOV)

The doctors handed our daughters to the nurses to clean up, weigh, messure and make sure that they were ok. While this was happening more nurses were cleaning up Rose and Lissa. When the nurses brought our daughters back they handed them back to the doctors.

Dr. Oldenzki turned to Roza and I. "Your majesties, may I present to you Princess Marinique." When I was handed my daughter I looked down at her precious face with tears rolling down my own face and sobs of joy in my chest. Sitting down on the edge of Rose's bed we looked at our daughter. She was just as beautiful as her glorious mother.

Dr. Maynard turned to Lissa and I with our little girl in his hands. "Your majesties, my I present Princess Roselynn." The doctor handed me my daughter and I cried. I am not ashamed to say that the birth of this precious little girl brought me to tears. I sat on Lissa's bed and brought our daughter to where we could both look at her.

As Dimitri and I gazed at our daughter we heard a chant of 'Soul's Light' begin to rock the entire academy. The four of us could hear the cheers and chants just as plain as if they were inside the room.

"Liss if you are feeling up to it I think we need to present our princesses."

"I agree."

Dimitri laid Marin in her bassinet and helped me stand and get ready to present our daughter to our world. While Chris did the same for Lissa. Neither Liss nor I felt like getting dressed so we just wore robes. 

As we were not able to walk yet either we held our daughters while Dimitri and Chris wheeled us out onto the mezzanine. Before Lissa or I came outside Olena and Alberta made the announcement asking for silence.

"As you all know I am Headmistress Olena Belikova, today we were attacked again. But that was the last attack that we will ever have to endure. I present to all of you my granddaughter the Princess Marinique Antonella Cierra Mazur-Belikov. And her parents Queen Rosemarie Isabella Hathaway Mazur soon to be Belikov and King Dimitri Alexie Gavin Belikov." The cheers and applause was astounding. It truly touched my heart deeply because all of these people adored their new princess.

As Dimitri and I stood there with Marin Alberta spoke up. "As you also know I am Alberta Petrova, head guardian here at St. Vlad's. I would like to present to you Princess Roselynn Azalea Ozera Dragomir, and her parents Queen Vasilissa Sabina Rhea Dragomir and King Christian David Ozera." More cheers and applause were again heard.

The four of us stood there with our daughters in our arms listening to the cheers and chants. "Today is a great day in our history. The scourge that was the strigoi is now gone. Never again will we have to live in fear of them. From now on we are safe, our children are safe. From this day forth our people all of our people will be able to do whatever they wish with their lives. No matter what that is it is now safe for them to do it." 

I looked around on the ground at the piles of ash that used to be strigoi and cried. It was over, it was finally over. And that is exactly what I said, "it is over, it is finally over." The cheers of 'Princess Marin' and 'Princess Roselynn' shook the very foundation of the academy.

Someone asked, "who was born first?"

I answered, "they were born at the exact same time." 

More cheers and applause broke out across the whole entire campus. And not just from those that fought. But also from the students, faculty, staff and visitors, who had all come in hopes of being present at the introduction ceremony.
