It's a boy

His surprise was the most absolute.

It certainly wasn't the news he expected. It wasn't after the girl's tragic birth and death.

-Are you sure you really found the child?- Richard Morgan's voice was cautious.

So many months looking for the boy... He finally avoided having hopes that this whole nightmare could end.

Mouro was still one of Madame's oldest and most loyal servants. The son-in-law's smile showed genuine satisfaction that he was the one to find out. It was an honor for his race after white slavery and a way of repaying all the evil that his people in general did by reaching the coast and capturing whites to enslave them in the East.

-Are you absolutely sure.- He said very seriously.- The child has the birthmark. Of magic. Brings the magic of transformation. It bears the mark of magic and spells in your blood. It has the stamp of ancient wisdom.

Richard listened to the news a little dazedly, without even wanting to tell his wife about their son being born. He could still sadly see his dead daughter's body.

-And the boy. I have people all over the kingdom seeking the heir of the scarlet lands. I can assure you that you are the heir to the mantle. A boy. Dark hair. And its appearance does not deny or leave doubts. 'Has all your traits. Doesn't look like her mother. But they say male children always look like their fathers.

-Keep it a secret yet. Don't count anything for now.- he asked evaluating how all that changed their lives in a radical way.

-I don't believe the gods have finally blessed.
