Chapter 697 A Gift From Theodric

Elowen lowered heaze sightly before answering in a calm voice.

“Your Majesty, it was my oversight. I was still weak after childbirth and didn’t manage the household as carefully as I should have. One of the wet nurses ate something that upset her milk, and after Caius drank it, he developed a fever. I dismissed her some time ago and replaced her with another caretaker. Thankfully, he’s doing much better now.

Theodric’s expression eased a little.

“You’ve only just recovered,” he said. “Stop trying to handle every matter inside the manor yourself. That’s what servants and stewards are there for.”

Elowen nodded obediently. “Your Majesty is right. I’ve already rearranged the household staff. Both Cajus and Emily are now looked after by dedicated attendants.”

Then, as though something had just occurred to her, she smiled faintly.

“Actually, I should thank Lady Elira for that.”

As she spoke, her eyes drifted casually toward Elira.

The change in Elira’s expression lasted only an instant, faint as a ripple crossing still water, but Elowen caught it anyway.

Elira returned her usual gentle smile. “You give me too much credit. What exactly are you thanking me for?”

Elowen answered warmly, “Have you forgotten? Back/when I was expecting, Your Majesty specifically selected several capable attendants from your own residence and sent them to Duskmoor Manor to help me. Recently, I chose one of them to help care for Caius and Emily. Rosaline.”

Her smile deepened slightly.

“She’s thoughtful, careful, and quick on her feet. Ever since she took over, the children haven’t had a single problem.”

Theodric nodded immediately.

“I remember Rosaline,” he said. “I saw her several times while visiting Elira’s residence before. She always handled her duties well. If she can lighten your burdens now, then that’s fortunate for everyone.”

Elowen only smiled and let the matter drop.

Just then, Emily suddenly began babbling happily from Theodric’s arms.

Theodric looked down in surprise and found the little girl reaching both hands toward him, staring up with bright dark eyes that sparkled with excitement.

Cassian laughed immediately.

“Looks like Poppy wants her uncle’s attention.”

Even the wet nurse smiled at that. “Your Majesty may not know this, but the young lady usually doesn’t like being held by anyone except Her Grace. Most days she barely fets His Grace carry her either, but today she’s asking for Your Majesty herself”

Cassian clicked his tongue dramatically. “Little social climber.

Theodric burst out laughing.

“You shameless brat,” he shot back at Cassian. “That’s my niece you’re talking about. She just knows who her favorite uncle is.”

He handed Caius back to the wet nurse before opening his arms toward Emily,

“Come here, Poppy. I got you.”

The moment the wet nurse carried Emily closer, the little girl practically threw herself into Theodric’s embrace.

Theodric caught her carefully and bounced her lightly in his arms.

“She’s heavier than her brother already.”

Emily naturally understood none of it.

Instead, she grabbed eagerly at the engraved pendant hanging from Theodric’s neck, clutching the braided cord attached to it as though she had discovered the greatest treasure in the world.

She babbled nonstop at him in complete seriousness, sounding almost like she was trying to hold an actual conversation.

Theodric looked utterly delighted.

“All right, all right,” he laughed. “Bold little thing, aren’t you? Definitely one of the Valebournes.” He let her continue tugging happily at the pendant. “If you like it that much, your uncle will give it to you.”

Then, in full view of the gathered guests, he added with obvious pleasure, “And while I’m at it, I’ll grant you a title as well. From today onward, you’ll be known as Lady Everwyn.”

The entire hall fell silent.

There were many titled young ladies throughout Avenlor, but for a child barely a month old to receive a personal title directly from Theodric was extraordinarily rare.

Beside him, Elira’s gaze darkened slightly.

Elowen and Cassian immediately rose together to thank Theodric formally.

At almost the same moment, Caius stirred awake in the wet nurse’s arms. He did not cry but let out a few sleepy sounds before waving his tiny hands twice toward Theodric.

Theodric laughed again.

“What’s this? Phoenix wants something too?”

Caius answered by reaching both hands out again.

Theodric looked almost regretful.

“You’re already heir to the Duke of Duskmoor. One day you’ll inherit your father’s title, so there’s not much more your uncle can give you.”

From nearby, Cassian suddenly said with lazy amusement, “If Your Majesty’s in such a generous mood today, you could always strip my title away and hand it to Phoenix instead.

The comment nearly terrified everyone listening.

Theodric, however, laughed even harder.
