The dress was quickly burned to ashes by the flames, and as the black ashes fell, large patches of white and smooth skin were exposed.
Shirley was the first to react. She quickly grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her mistress to prevent her from accidentally exposing herself.
Soon after, Laurent also came back to his senses. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and retreated out of the room. His actions were so fast that he did not seem like a fatty who weighed more than 100 pounds.
"But why am I not hurt?
I don't even feel anything? "Serena looked confused, as if she could not believe what had happened to her.
Shirley was only a twelve-year-old village girl. How could she explain such a complicated and strange question? She could only reply weakly, "I … I'm sorry, Madam. I … I'm not too sure …"
Serena was obviously asking casually. She did not expect Shirley to give her any explanation at all.
In order to confirm her guess, she carefully reached her right hand into the fireplace. The result was a shocking scene!
The flames in the fireplace seemed to be pulled by some invisible force. They revolved around her arm. The scene was beautiful and gorgeous.
Just as Serena was unknowingly indulging in it, the flames suddenly spewed out and entered her lower abdomen. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
Shock!
Confusion!
Puzzlement!
She did not understand what this meant at all. She immediately shouted at Shirley, "Quick!
Go and get Priestess Bertha. I need her help! "
The girl nodded her head in panic and ran out in a hurry.
Not long after, she returned with a middle-aged woman in a simple linen robe.
"Your Lordship, I heard that you were burned. Where are you? Let me see."
As soon as she entered the door, the priestess called Bertha approached her. She wanted to find the wound and start treating it.
"No, I'm not hurt. The reason why I asked you to come is to borrow the wisdom of the God of Guardians to explain what is going on." As she spoke, Serena once again reached her hand into the fireplace.
In her opinion, such a strange situation could not be described with words. It was better to show it on the spot.
As expected, the flames once again displayed a strange scene. However, this time, it did not revolve. Instead, it formed a flame-shaped mark.
Bertha's eyes widened. She could not help but exclaim, "Oh, God of Guardians!
This was the ability to bathe in fire without burning!
May I ask if your family has the Fire Elemental Bloodline or the Red Dragon Bloodline? "
Serena furrowed her brows and tried her best to recall. Soon, she shook her head. "No, the only special bloodline that our family has is the elves. However, that's something that happened hundreds of years ago. Now, it's so thin that it can be ignored."
"That's the child in your belly. Can you tell me who the father is?" the Priestess asked.
As a priestess, she was able to determine the gender of the fetus, whether it was a boy or a girl, whether it was a twin or a multiple, by the time the baby was five months old.
"I'm very sorry. Due to some special reasons, the child's father is in a very faraway place right now. I'm afraid you won't be able to see him." Serena sighed helplessly as she stroked her protruding belly.
Any woman would want her man to be by her side when she was giving birth. Even a strong female knight like her was no exception.
Sensing that fleeting sadness, Bertha immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, the God of Protection will definitely protect the child's father and ensure his safe return.
Lastly, I'll take the liberty to ask if the child's father has any relatives.
Can you arrange for me to meet him? This is very important. It will determine the child's future. "
No mother would not love her child. Serena immediately nodded when she heard that the child's future was at stake. "Of course!
They all live in the castle. I'll get someone to bring one over. "
After saying that, she turned to Shirley and said, "Quick!
Bring Miss Babla here for the priestess to see. "
A few short minutes later, André's little sister Babla walked into the room with sleepy eyes. She mumbled softly, "I'm so sleepy!
Where am I? "
As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep on the chair closest to her. She didn't seem to notice that this was no longer her room.
The priestess gently walked to the girl's side and pulled out a strand of hair. She then cast an unknown divine spell as quickly as possible.
A second or two later, the fiery red hair fluttered back to its natural state.
Serena, who had been waiting by the side, asked impatiently, "How is it? Is there a result?"
Staring at the burnt hair in her hand, Bertha explained in a deep voice, "Based on the degree of spontaneous combustion and the intensity of the flames, I'm 100% sure that she has a thin fire elemental bloodline.
Normally speaking, such a fire elemental bloodline would not be able to trigger such a powerful resonance.
Therefore, I concluded that the child's father must have undergone an intergenerational awakening, and the source of the bloodline must be very powerful. That's why the child in your womb has such a pure affinity for fire.
Don't worry, once the child is born, you will slowly return to normal. At most, your resistance to fire will be several times stronger than ordinary people. "
"Fire elemental bloodline?
You're saying that my daughter will be born with a special bloodline? "Serena's face was full of surprise and excitement.
She couldn't help but be excited. The appearance of a special bloodline meant great power. It also meant that a noble family would enter a period of rapid growth in the next few generations.
"That's right!
Just as I mentioned earlier, a very pure fire elemental ability. However, you'd better be mentally prepared. The child's appearance after birth will be somewhat different from ordinary people. "The priestess was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding when the time came, so she hurriedly took precautions.
After all, most of the commoners on the continent were very ignorant. They often treated children with special bloodlines as demons or devils, and directly threw them into the river to drown.
