Alidus shocked everyone by developing a domain in a single day, despite previously struggling. Upon testing it, the domain proved real but less powerful than the protagonist's. Despite a valiant effort and several charges, Alidus was repeatedly overwhelmed and exhausted, failing to unlock any special abilities from his newly formed domain. The protagonist suspects Alidus's domain has hidden potential, but decides against revealing his thoughts.

A considerable amount of time had passed since my four other wives had conceived, and their due dates were fast approaching. I had been anticipating being summoned at any moment. However, it turned out that only one of them was going into labor this time: Moon.

The moment her water broke, everyone sprang into action. Their efficiency was remarkable, moving like a well-oiled machine. This was, of course, understandable, as it wasn't their first experience. We possessed the necessary know-how.

Consequently, I found myself waiting outside the delivery room, anticipating the news. My role in the process was nonexistent; any attempt to intervene would have only been a hindrance. Despite the power I now wielded, there was nothing I could do to assist in this particular event. It was a matter that had to unfold naturally.

Furthermore, the individuals assembled for the occasion were the absolute best in their fields. It was assured that Moon would be kept safe.

A few hours later, I was informed that the delivery was complete. The manner in which this news was delivered, however, left me quite perplexed and somewhat apprehensive.

"Please come in; there is something you must see."

"Did something go wrong?" My initial thought upon hearing such a peculiar request was one of concern.

Yet, they swiftly reassured me, stating that no complications had arisen and that both mother and child were in perfect health. This confirmation, however, only deepened my confusion. What could they not tell me directly that I needed to witness firsthand?

Upon entering, I noticed Moon resting on the bed, cradling a swaddled bundle. This sight only intensified my bewilderment. "Why is the child all wrapped up like this?"

Considering all that had transpired during the previous four births, I hadn't anticipated anything truly shocking. But it turned out that this occasion held a rather astonishing revelation.

"Oh, so that's all it is."

Upon further reflection, I realized my initial reaction had been rather insensitive. My perspective was purely human, but for an elf, this event held immense significance.

The newborn was no ordinary elf. With its vibrant green hair, captivating green eyes, and a powerful aura, it was unequivocally a high elf. More astonishingly, this child appeared to possess a purity that surpassed even its grandmother's lineage.

It seemed a regression had occurred, returning the child to its ancestral roots, manifesting as a high elf of unparalleled caliber among their kind. News of this would undoubtedly cause a significant stir within elven society, which placed immense value on bloodline purity and high elf status.

The implications were staggering: the elves might even consider replacing Aisha with this child as their ruler. While Aisha might willingly relinquish her title to her grandchild if it meant her freedom, the situation would not be so easily resolved. The exceptional purity of this child's bloodline would likely incite secret schemes among the elves, not necessarily to cause harm, but to secure this potent lineage for themselves.

"We can hardly keep this a secret," I remarked. Moon's expression remained complex as I spoke, but she eventually nodded in agreement. Nevertheless, she voiced her concern, "Then, what should we do? I don't want anyone to harm this child."

I nodded in agreement, though the current situation felt somewhat subdued compared to the others, especially recalling Arthur's dramatic entrance. "For now, we will observe and wait to see what powers this child displays. Once we have more information, we can determine the best course of action."

Moon did not appear entirely satisfied with this plan, yet she understood that there was little else we could do at this moment. The child was simply too young for any further definitive actions.

However, I could sense Moon's deep-seated anxiety. Her worry was not for herself, but for the intense scrutiny our child would inevitably face. She simply wished for our child to grow up healthy, devoid of any such fame or attention. After all, she knew the detrimental effects such notoriety could have on an individual.

She herself had experienced a similar level of expectation due to her status as Aisha's child. Even if I had words of comfort, the current circumstances offered little opportunity to speak them. Before I could even attempt to offer any, something else entirely unexpected occurred.
