Chapter 54 the Four Knights…. Prince Alexei (6)
Prince Alexei POV continuation
. "Don't make me lose her Alexei…. I've already lost Jade….. I don't want to lose another daughter again" Duke Lawrence told Alexei and he nodded. He knew right there in then that the woman who is inside the room is a very important person to the lives of Vallini's, Vendari's and HADES.
The hospital was jam-packed with the people whom is involved with HADES as everyone got their blood tested if they can donate to Luna. Luna told Alexei and the other attending physicians that she wants to have a normal delivery and she will just talk to her babies so that they will be delivered safely.
Around 120 people were accepted and pass to the blood test and they immediately drew blood from them but almost everyone was still there and awaits for the development of Luna's situation. Maybe a miracle happened because as Luna finished uttering words to her belly the twins inside her body gave a different position so that they can be delivered normally. After 5 hours a cry was already heard from the room. The baby boy was the first one to come out and after 2 minutes the baby girl followed. Dr. Kaye gave Luna a shot so that she can rest for she have in labor since yesterday according to Dimitri and we as her doctors can see how tired she is right now.
As I ordered one of the nurse to transfer her to the recovery room to take a rest for a while before she can be transferred to the VIP ward. I went out the delivery room and gave them the good news and that is the first time I've seen my godfather smiled….. The smiled he only gave to Jade when she was still alive. "How's her condition Alexei?" Dimitri inquired. "She is fine but exhausted…. She is very strong" I told them; "When can we see her?" Scarlet butt in…. "Maybe after an hour or two…. We still need to observe her because of her condition. Don't worry I'll be on standby at the recovery room and I'll personally escorting her to the VCIP ward" I informed them as I can see how tired their looks was especially Francois. I approach him and gave him a pat on his shoulder and told him….."Your babies looks lovely bro". He just smiled but he didn't correct me that time.

VVIP WARD
I do my regular routine of patient rounds and I got the news that Luna has been transferred to the room after 2 hours of observation and the babies are also there, and as for the Vallini's and Vendari's and Audrey…. They all seems very excited to see the three of them. Of course I was also present to the ward; as I want to know why are they treat this lady like as fragile gem. "Moon, what will be the name of your little buns?" Scarlet ask her.
I see that Luna smiled… and she ask Duke Lawrence if he can carry the little boy…. "My baby boy's name will be Joaquin Lloyd Vallini….. Joaquin after Duke Lawrence's second name and the baby girl will be Dawn Aurora….. Princess Jeuel's second name and the Dawn because all of you became my sunrise. Luna explained to them as she gave the names of the babies. My Godfather thanked her for the names but we all wondered…. Where the hell the name "Lloyd" came from. But we didn't ask further more.
Ryder introduce me to her but now she is Autumn Jade Vallini…. That's the name she will be known for and she will be using after the adoption process will be approved. They also told me everything about her as in everything about her past and the present… the rules she have change in both the Vallini's and Vendari's lives and especially to the HADES…. The HADES people loves her so much….. She is their goddess and savior. My Godfather can't do anything once she is the one decides about a mission or punishments of the people of HADES… she was very much dotted by my Godfather, Dimitri, Ryder, Scarlet and most especially François.

Vallini Mansion
A typical Saturday morning at Vallini Mansion was having their morning exercise routine but now it seems different; a song by Doris Day was played but in different version, the pussycat doll version of the song "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" was being played and I can see Francois seating in front of the male members of HADES and it seems that they are having a punishment in a different way. I'm with my sister Isabele because my Godfather called for us both for a special mission; Isabele was shocked to see what is happening to the poor men of HADES as they are dancing. And since my sister is an Olympic medalist in the category of ballroom dancing her curiosity kicks in. "Good Morning Count Francois" Isabele greets him but still looking the young masculine men dancing and they both can't imagine. Francois just nodded without even looking to us; "What's with them Count? And it seems that the morning exercise became a dance showdown" Isabele ask him with her British accent. "They are having their morning exercise in a unique way" Scarlet suddenly answered but what surprise my sister is that she is carrying a baby girl who is crying helplessly as she approach us and at her back its Dimitri who carry a baby boy.
"When the two of you got a baby of your own? Why we are not informed about your marriage? When did you gave birth Scar?" Isabele ask Scarlet rapidly with a very serious tone but still looking at the babies excitedly. On the other hand when Francois heard the cry of the little angel he signaled the troops to stop and told them that they can take a two days off. He rush to Scarlet and snatched the baby girl to her hands; "what did you do Scar? Why is she crying?" Francois inquired but his tone is very cold. "She can't sleep, I can't put her to sleep dear brother…. It seems that she is looking for you, and since Dimitri has our little prince he can't help me with sweet pea. And Luna is dozing off because she didn't sleep last night at all" Scarlet explained to Francois.
I can see the questions my sister wants to ask them as I can see how busy they are with the babies and how they are so protective in a way that if anyone can see it they will think that they are their own child. "The babies are Luna's children, Duke Lawrence new adoptive daughter…. The one I've been telling to you" I informed my sister Isabele and she just answered me with an O shape of her lips. Dimitri just chuckled and shook his head. 'What's happening here?! Why is my little pea crying?! Who bullied my sweet pea?!" the stern cold voice of Duke Lawrence has been heard as he walks up to us; and we saw how paled Scarlet's face. "I didn't do anything, the little evil just didn't want to sleep" she said as she pout her lips. But all of a sudden we can't hear the cries of the little girl but we heard a baritone voice of a lullaby song.
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly
Lavender's green
When I am king, dilly dilly
You shall be queen
Call up your men, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plow, dilly dilly
Some to the cart
Some to make hay, dilly dilly
Some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly dilly
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's green, dilly dilly
Lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly dilly
I will love you
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly
Lavender's green
When I am king, dilly dilly
You shall be queen
Call up your men, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plow, dilly dilly
Some to the cart
Some to make hay, dilly dilly
Some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly dilly
Keep ourselves warm
Lavender's green, dilly dilly
Lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly dilly
I will love you
"François's singing?" Isabele ask with a very surprisingly look. "Yes he sung again when the twins are born, he's the one who puts them to bed" Duke Lawrence answered Isabele's question. "It seems that he already move on of Krista's death" Isabele whispered but I heard it….. 'Sister Krista is already out of the picture, I think Francois is hiding something from us" I told her. Francois is just like a father when he sings lullaby to the child as he dances slowly as he puts her to sleep.
"Both of you, come to my study, Dimitri gave our little Joaquin to Scarlet I also need you there" my Godfather told us. Dimitri looks to his father with confusion, "Don't worry son, Joaquin likes Scarlet, and our little Aurora seems loves Francois; and Francois if the little angel is in deep sleep you follow us there we also need you" he added. Francois nodded as signaled CJ to get the baby girl and told him to sing and sway just like he did; "She's in deep sleep now milord" Francois informed us.

Duke Lawrence Study
As everyone took their seats at the round table and Ryder was already there together with Paolo Hutton waiting for them. Paolo Hutton is Duke Lawrence most trusted assistant gave each one of them a brown envelop. It contains all information's about Luna, her so called family, Louie Chen and his family. It also included about the Wu triplets and their family and about the things that Louie Chen did to Luna. Francois already emitted a murderous aura while Dimitri studies the information's that was presented to them. "I want you all to help Luna to get her revenge" Duke Lawrence informed them. "The four of you will be the first one to formulate on how we can gave them the taste of their own medicine" Duke Lawrence informed them.
"Louie Chen is her ex-husband, and he married Sofia Su last September 17 the day when the twins were born" Alexei said it loud. "Louie Chen is the one who hurt Luna…. He just agreed to marry her for inheritance… it is all written here" Ryder also blurted out.
"Alexei and Isabele, I want the both of you teach Luna of what are the things you know, Francois is already tutoring here about HADES, Scarlet teaches her about hacking…. You contact the Manzini's and the di Luchusesi for this mission. We need to train Luna to all of your talents and skills. Dimitri will be the one to train her in internal affairs of our business." Duke Lawrence told them as his cold voice can gave shivers to their spine. "Paolo handed to them the recent pictures of all that people, after you contacted the other two parties we will start the plans" the Duke added.
