553 – The Sun! Sky! Vegetation! -One

The Empire and Armain’s great decision to resolve the chaos in the Kingdom of Leon has officially ended.

The head of the Asturia family, who lost the rightful heir, transferred the crown of Leon to the head of the Jimenisia family, and the head of the Jimenisia family accepted this, resulting in a peaceful change of royal family. Since no blood was shed during this process, it can truly be said to be a beautiful sight that will remain in history.

“It was possible for Gwain, who lacked virtue, to ascend to the throne because of the will of heaven and the support of his subjects. Accordingly, Gwain does not want to be a person who stands above Leon, but rather represents Leon and becomes a vessel that contains the will of the people.”

“””Your Majesty the King, for a thousand years, a thousand years!”””

Also, the newly crowned King Leon appeared as humble and serious as when he was first invited to the throne.

Needless to say, the leaders of the expeditionary forces of both countries smiled in satisfaction at that sight. In the future, for the sake of peace in Leon, the armies of both countries will be stationed in Leon indefinitely, and if the king is wise and prudent, the three countries will be comfortable with each other.

[The new king says he has no virtue, but a truly virtuous person does not know that he is lacking. The reason the king calls himself virtuous is because he understands the fate of a monarch who is lacking in virtue no matter how virtuous he is. ]

[We are pleased that the chaos in our neighboring country has been resolved quickly. I hope that the relationship between the two countries, which has been awkward so far, will take this as an opportunity to move forward under the warm sun. ]

Even the Emperor and King Armaine sent congratulatory messages to King Leon’s coronation ceremony.

With this, the fate of the Kingdom of Leon was completely decided. The country of Leon was reduced to an area under the common interests of the Empire and Armain, but at least there was no longer any need for disputes or invasions from other countries except for those two countries. In a broad sense, Leon has become an extension of the Empire and Armain.

“It was an honor to work together. I will greet you again when you are promoted to commander.”

As soon as the coronation ceremony and brief post-processing were completed, I said goodbye to the 6th Corps commander.

Unlike me, who can now completely withdraw from the Kingdom of Leon, the 6th Corps commander must serve as the commander of the Leon garrison for the time being. Since you’re leaving behind someone who has to continue working, it’s only right to say hello.

“I will happily wait for that day.”

However, the expression on the face of the commander of the 6th Corps, who had been on extended duty, was closer to brighter than dull. It looks like he heard that his promotion to commander of the local forces was confirmed.

Yes, a promotion awaits me when I return home, so I would be happy to accept an extended shift. Once my retirement is confirmed, I am confident that I will complete any work with a happy heart and return.

The problem is that that day never came.

“Then I’ll just leave—”

“Oh, you’re both here!”

Just before leaving work early, the loud voice of the Marquis Iskertal rang out.

“I heard that the best swordsman is returning to the country. Wouldn’t it be sad to see people who are in harmony with each other just break up? Let’s have a drink!”

Then he raised the corner of his mouth and raised a drink that I don’t know where he got it from.

Hmm.

“Good. After today, I can’t be sure when we’ll meet again.”

After a short period of deliberation, I accepted the marquis’ offer.

If this had happened right before work time, I would have jumped out without a moment’s hesitation, but since it is still work time when the sun is high in the sky, it is safe to view light drinking as an extension of work. Even if we break up after drinking a bit in the first place, it can be considered an early departure from work.

“Hehe, since you are the best swordsman, are you also strong in alcohol?”

“…I guess it’s because there’s someone nearby who has alcohol flowing instead of blood.”

And the drinking party that started around lunchtime did not end until dinner.

Fuck, I’m leaving work early!

I went to see my third father-in-law for the first time since the wedding.

“This is a gift prepared by my son-in-law. Please accept it with peace of mind.”

To give you some of the territories that you have successfully farmed during this business trip.

Actually, there is a way to give it to Rize from the beginning, but wouldn’t it be a bit unfair to give Rize a fiefdom while her father-in-law has not yet corrected it? Her daughter holds the earldom, but she must also understand the feelings of her father-in-law, the baron. That is the basic sense that a son-in-law should possess.

“Of course, it is difficult to say that it is a prosperous place now because it is close to the border, but now, unlike before, Leon has become a loyal friend of the empire. The disadvantage of being a border is that it will turn into a key point for merchants from both countries to come and go, so over time, Leon’s metropolitan area It will develop further.”

“…”

And when I explained the shortcomings of the current estate and the future vision, my father-in-law could not say anything.

It seemed like he was touched by his son-in-law’s sincerity, which made me feel happy. What son-in-law in the world would give an earldom as a gift to his father-in-law? This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Nayard family and will never happen again.

“It’s such an undeserved gift that I don’t know if I can accept it.”

My father-in-law, who was silent for a long time, naturally snapped once. In any case, it is a gift that she receives in the end, but it is an implicit courtesy to bounce a few times before that.

“I have already received an invaluable treasure from my father-in-law. Even if I brought 100 of these things, it would not be enough.”

It was an annoying courtesy, but I was happy to join in because I couldn’t turn my father-in-law into someone who just accepts gifts.

Besides, what would be the point of giving one of the many fiefdoms to the person who gave me my only daughter? Although Rize is one person in this world, there are many places where the spirit I offer can be replaced.

“So please accept it. If you feel burdened, you can consider leaving it for a while for Rize and Cherry Blossoms.”

“Leave it to me.”

My father-in-law, who looked embarrassed when his children and grandchildren were also summoned, nodded his head.

“Good. I’ll gladly take care of it.”

The seal placed on the table went into the arms of my father-in-law.

Done. Now, the Nayard family has become a proud high-ranking noble family with the title of earldom, even if only in a foreign country.

“But how should I manage my territory in another country…”

“Ah, I left the position of head deacon to a good person.”

Her father-in-law hurriedly opened his mouth in response to her obvious concerns.

Alfonso That guy. Although he was a corps commander, his main career his his was focused on staff rather than field commander. I was surprised that he was surprisingly good at administration and office work.

“Of course, since this is a temporary position, my father-in-law can replace it with anyone he wants.”

“No, that’s okay. The person my son-in-law entrusts to me will be better than the person I choose.”

I was moved to see my father-in-law shaking his head with a faint smile. I can give as much as an earldom to my father-in-law who trusts his son-in-law so much.

No, if your father-in-law wants, he can give you two or three.

***

As Carl’s business trip ended, the mansion came back to life.

Since I have been commuting to work by teleportation, there has never been a day when I was without a knife in the mansion, but there is a difference between a husband who has to go a long way to a foreign country and a husband who can rest well at home. Naturally, the feelings of the families and users are heightened.

And in the peaceful mansion, I was sitting alone in my room.

“When are you going to do this to see your mother’s face?”

Because the sun, the sky, and Chomok have grown to the point where it wouldn’t be strange if they came into the world at any time. After carrying as many as three children, my stomach was so full that it was difficult to even move.

What’s worse is that these days, the employees even bring meals to my room. Normally I would have said there was no need, but now I couldn’t refuse.

“Mom is having a bit of a hard time too.”

I stroked their bellies and quietly whispered to the sleeping children.

You can survive with just one or two. However, as the three of us were crammed together in one stomach, it felt burdensome as time passed.

‘The doctor said he might come out quickly…’

What exactly did you say? Did I mention that with three people sharing the same space, someone with an impatient personality might feel frustrated and try to leave early? I remember being convinced that it was a very plausible statement.

But there was no sign of that at all. No one showed any sign of coming out, as if they were making concessions to each other within a limited space.

As a mother, it is welcome to see a good camaraderie among your children. Still, if possible, wouldn’t it be better to show off your friendship in a wide space rather than in a small space?

“Ma’am.”

Meanwhile, I heard the butler’s voice outside the door.

“What’s going on?”

“The Count of Sicilla has arrived.”

I smiled secretly when I heard that the head deacon was coming again today.

As my birth date gets closer, the head deacon is visiting the mansion every day, saying he cannot miss the birth of his little masters. To the point where I’m worried about whether I’m doing my job properly as the head of the house.

“Ask them to come in.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Still, I can’t ignore the deacon’s sincerity, so I meet him every day. Carl is also a loyalist to the Duke family and is viewed favorably, so there is no problem.

“Meeting Your Excellency.”

Not long after, the deacon who carefully opened the door and came in bowed as soon as he saw me.

As always, with both hands full of something.

“What is that?”

“These are clothes for the little lords to wear.”

“You brought the clothes a while ago.”

“Isn’t the weather hotter than then? “I bought a new one.”

The sight of the deacon protesting with a serious face made me smile again.

“The weather is a little warmer, so let’s buy new clothes.”

Because Carl said the same thing a few days ago.

Our sun, our sky, our plants. There are so many people who desperately want you to be born.

‘This mom is like that too.’

So, won’t you stop coming out now? It’s good to play among yourself in the same space, but it’s also good to grow up receiving love from your parents.

And your older brother, possibly your older brother, Peddie, who was born before you, is also waiting for you.

‘…Four children.’

I laughed as I imagined the workers busily moving around to take care of the children.

Moreover, our fifth child will be born at the end of this year. My heart warms when I think about how the mansion will become more and more noisy.
