Why was I so easily tell others that I came from the future?
It's for my own sake.
I told people I think I can trust so that they will help me prevent the danger that will come. Then if possible, I will left everything to them and hopefully, not getting myself involved with the cult.
But I don't think that's possible since the Evil God Cult's influence is widespread around the world.
That's why by leaving everything to other people, I hope at least I and the people I care about have enough time to get strong enough to protect themselves.
If I tried to take all of the responsibilities as the person who knows, I won't have enough time to get stronger. And I might end up risking the whole world if I did it poorly.
Because of all the knowledge that I've learnt from both my past life and present life, I know that I'm not smart enough, strong enough, and rich enough to take care of everything alone. That's why I need to have some help.
And I'm not someone who is too shy or proud to ask for anyone's help. And I'm proud of being shameless enough to ask for help.
And this time, I'm asking for help from the king himself.
I was just trying to get someone in high position to help taking care of the cult, but when I came here, I see a patient instead.
And as a doctor, I can't ignore someone in pain… even if that's someone is still a fetus.
"Your majesty, I will now tell you about your condition."
I said that in my serious tone. Not using helium to alter my voice. And now that I've turned serious, the king who has listened about it also has serious expression on his face.
"Why are your voice changing? And since it looks like you two have been getting along well in such a short time, you can call me Marie."
"Marie! You can't trust someone you just met!"
"But Albert said that he has never once spoke any lies. Other than his own name."
The king's sister, Shirley, protested to the queen that she must not trust me especially only on the first time meeting. But the queen said she trust me because she trust Albert who knows if I said a lie.
"I don't mind you all finding about my identity, but I don't want a certain party knows who I am. That's why I apologize for disguising myself."
"Evil God Cult, huh? And you said you returned to the past? Although I still can't believe it, since my brother hasn't detect any lies coming from you, I'll trust you for now."
"Thank you, your highness."
"Just call me Shirley. Although I haven't trust you yet, since my brother trusted you, you can call me by my name. But once you spoke any lies, I'll kill you."
"Thank you, Shirley."
Somehow, I ended up getting close with the three royalties.
Shirley is 17 years old now. 2 years older than I am.
Similar to the current king, she's now active as a hunter. Although Albert back then only became a hunter to gain more experiences.
In my past life, Shirley continue being a hunter even until the day I died. She became a hunter so she can live independently in the future. She doesn't want to be tied up with the royalties and be used as political tool.
Although I don't think Albert will ever use his family members as a political tool, it's different from the other aristocrats who has their own plans.
But I have more important matter to inform them right now.
"It's about your babies."
"You mean baby, right? How could you made a mistake already?"
"Shut up, Shirley! He's not lying!"
"But… he said babies! Even the doctors already said that… there's only… one heartbeat?"
Marie realized something quickly. She started to rub her belly. And Albert put her in his embrace.
"…I know that something is weird. My stomach grown too big for just one baby."
"Marie, let's listen more to what Ninja says. He's a doctor and he has a see-through vision. And he's not lying."
"…okay. Please continue."
Marie gave me permission to speak. And at this time, Shirley already shocked with tears in her eyes and she covered her mouth with her hands.
Of course anyone would be surprised. After all, it's impossible for anyone to found out that the queen is pregnant with twins when no one can see-through her belly.
"Yes, you are pregnant with twins. One of the twins is a boy. And he's quite healthy. The other one is a girl. Her heart isn't beating."
"Does that mean she died?" Marie asked with tears in her eyes,
"No. Dead fetus, in case of twins, it would not grow as it is. She's grown big together with the boy. Which means even though her heart is not beating, she's still continue to grows. This is the case of when your fetus need some special condition to be alive when you delivered them. If you fail to do it, the baby will be really die after you delivered it, and then you will be the one who pay the price. Your body might be deteriorating, or your magic, and in your case, it should be mental health. Your mind isn't clear, you'll get more and more timid, anxious when you're leaving your room. Although I don't know if that's what happened in my previous live because I never see you back then. At least from the rumor, you are physically fine, and your magic is not weakening, so I thought it should be your mental health."
"Ninja, you said that the fetus need a special condition to be alive, right? What is it?" Marie asked.
"There was a case in my past live about this as well. Although it was not a twin, she's the first who managed to deliver the baby just fine. Then all the doctors around the world started to do some research about this. Then they found the answer. The pregnant woman, continued cultivating her magic even in her pregnancy. Then most of the magic that was absorbed from the magic stones, entered the womb. That was how the baby gained wind element even though she was just born. This happened around ten years from now."
"So, does that mean I should cultivate? But the doctor said I have to refrain from cultivating."
"They are right. It was because normal babies would suffer when the mother is cultivating. That was why it was a taboo for pregnant women to cultivate. Because the babies would end up died before they are born. And in your case, you have a twin. One is a normal baby, and the other need special care."
"Does that mean I have to give up on one of them?! No! I'd rather die than give up one of my babies! Why did you have to tell me about it?!" Marie shouted angrily.
"If I didn't tell you, your baby will be the one who suffers the most. She has a chance to be more powerful than anyone else, but she won't be able to show the world if she died. I have a way to let you deliver both babies, but there's a possibility that it might fail since there are almost no known similar cases like this after that one from ten years in the future. And you're the only one who have a twins with one fetus needed special treatment. This will be the first experiment ever in the whole whorld so will you accept it? I'll let you discuss it with Albert but I'm in a hurry so I want you to make a decision right away."
I let the two of them discuss about the whole experiment while I took another paper and wrote something.
Shirley doesn't know what to do since the decision about the babies need to be made by the parent. So she peeked at what I'm writing. She was so shocked to see what it is.
She asked me about what I wrote but I said I'll tell everyone whether Marie will decide to go with the experiment or not.
"We decided to try it. I won't let either of them died."
"Albert?" I asked Albert.
"Marie is the boss at home. I'll support her decision."
"Fine. Now, what's Marie's element that either anyone here has?"
"Hmm? It's ice element. Shirley has it." Marie answered honestly.
"Good. Do you have an ice element magic stone with you?"
"There are some here. I never used them after I got pregnant."
"Alright. You know about one for two cultivation method, right?" I asked them.
"It's when one magic stone is used to cultivate by two mages at the same time."
Marie answered correctly.
"Right. It's similar to that. I want Marie to cultivate normally, and Shirley to channel the mana during cultivation into the girl fetus. But I need to teach you about magic control first."
I taught the three of them about magic control like how I taught Kayla and the others.
Then I gave Albert the paper I just wrote. It's about practicing magic control.
"Having magic control make you able to use minimum amount of mana to cast more powerful magic. But it also help in channeling your magic during your cultivation into a certain part of the body. It was used when someone got a curse in his right arm that made him unable to cultivate and improve his magic. Then when he cultivating, he make sure that the mana spread won't enter his right hand. He succeeded. After that case was known, most pregnant women who were a mage, would cultivate without letting the magic spread in their body entered the womb.
If Marie has a good control, she might be able to do it on her own. But time is limited. Her due date should be around 6-7 weeks. That's why we need someone with the same element as her to help. Shirley, can you do it?"
I asked Shirley who listened closely.
"I can! I will do it!"
"Good. Then let's do it now. If there's a chance of failure, we'll stop the experiment right away."
And so, Marie started cultivating and Shirley helped channeling the mana inside Marie's body into the baby. I helped them to point where the baby is. And Albert watched us worriedly.
