555 – The Sun! Sky! Vegetation! – 3
Both mothers and children are safe.
This is what the husband, who has no choice but to wait helplessly outside the birthing room, wants to hear the most.
I could really do anything for that one word.
“However, you are very tired from giving birth to not one but three children, so you will have difficulty moving for a while.”
“It doesn’t affect my health, so I have to accept that.”
I nodded enthusiastically as it was a cautionary note and not a problem at all.
As the doctor said, she gave birth to not one, but three babies. If you simply calculate it, you have suffered three times the pain that others experienced in one day, and it is natural that you have difficulty moving in the aftermath.
“Oh, and.”
“Is there something else?”
I wanted to go see Trixie and the kids quickly, but I couldn’t do this or that because the doctor didn’t finish his sentence his. It’s a doctor’s words, not someone else’s words, so you can’t just ignore them. There is nothing more foolish than ignoring the doctor’s words.
“…No, no. I think it would be better for you to see this for yourself.”
The doctor smiled and took a step back, clearing the way for me to enter the room.
“Huh.”
And as soon as I entered the room, I could see why the doctor was smiling.
‘I think they might be twins.’
The three sisters, crying loudly as if to prove that they had come into the world, were holding each other’s hands tightly.
I also laughed at that sight. It doesn’t matter whether newborn babies have enough strength to grasp something. Because you have elf blood, you may be different from ordinary humans, ahm.
“Kaal…”
While I was watching the three sisters’ chorus as if I was mesmerized, I heard Trixie’s voice and quickly came to my senses.
Look at my mind. I had to take care of the people who suffered the most first.
“You had a hard time. Are there any inconveniences?”
I hurried to Trixie’s side and carefully held her hand, and she shook her head with a faint smile.
“I was in pain until now, but I’m okay now. I’m just happy to see those kids…”
Seeing Trixie smiling so brightly made me feel like crying. I am thankful that the three angels were able to be born thanks to Trixie, and I am thankful that Trixie did not have any problems.
This may have been possible thanks to the fact that the names of those children were given the authority of God and that they were always seen well by God. I believe so.
“Oh, Carl.”
“Yes, tell me.”
He brought his head closer to Trixie, who opened her mouth as if she remembered something.
Trixie can do anything she wants. With my current determination, I think I can hit the emperor’s head.
“Sky is the eldest, Taeyang is the second, and Chomok is the youngest.”
“Huh?”
At those words, my eyes went to the three children who were still crying.
So, the sky, the sun, and plants were born in that order?
‘How did you know?’
It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I had given up on distinguishing who Taeyang was, who Sky was, and who Chomok was. In the first place, it is impossible to name each unborn child one by one. I didn’t even see Trixie’s stomach
So, when calling the children, I didn’t nominate anyone separately, but just called all three at once. I feel like if I point out and call him, the kid who was the sun yesterday will become the sky today.
But Trixie figured it out. Is this the power of motherhood that a father cannot have?
“I can feel mana. Even twins have their own flow.”
“Ah.”
At the same time as I was impressed, I felt a sense of self-destruction.
In other words, while Trixie was perfectly able to differentiate between the three children, I couldn’t do that, so I was calling all three at the same time.
‘I feel sorry for this dad.’
To me, those kids grow up saying, ‘I hate you dad!’ Even if you say that, you don’t even have the right to be sad.
As soon as the couple’s conversation ended, other people entered the room.
“You worked hard, you really worked hard.”
In particular, my grandmother gently hugged Trixie with tearful eyes.
My grandmother’s insides must have been burning to a degree that cannot be expressed in words. Anxiety about what might happen if something goes wrong with my granddaughter during childbirth.
Fortunately, those worries ended in vain. So, it is natural for my maternal grandmother to show the tears she was holding back.
“A poor mother who could not see her daughter her her her’s birth her her… Was still able to protect her granddaughter her’s birth her her.”
The murmurs were a mixture of guilt and relief.
“Someday, you have to see the birth of your great-granddaughters.”
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
Trixie’s maternal grandmother was silent for a moment and finally opened her mouth.
I almost laughed because I knew what he was feeling. Trixie’s maternal grandmother experienced culture shock due to her marriage and pregnancy, and now her maternal great-granddaughter is getting married as well? Perhaps her maternal grandmother’s common sense is that she is falling apart one after another.
Of course, her maternal grandmother was already aware of the different standards between humans and elves, but reason and emotions do not always coincide.
“Me, master.”
While watching the strange conversation between her maternal grandmother and her granddaughter, I turned my attention to the voice of her butler.
“Shouldn’t we also tell the news to people outside?”
“Outside?”
She tilted her head for a moment and then let out a low exclamation.
It did. There were many people outside the mansion praying for Trixie’s safe birth. I was so caught up in the fact that my children were born that I had forgotten about it.
“If it’s okay with you, master, I will send you news from my second wife—”
“No, that’s enough. I’ll go out and say it.”
I gently shook my head at the butler’s words. The butler may be considerate because he wants me to be with my family, but it is right for me to come forward and speak up now.
These are people who treated the birth of Trixie and the triplet as if it were their own business and prayed earnestly. As a husband, I have to personally express my gratitude to be able to respond to their hard work.
“Oh, prepare a simple banquet. We can’t just send the guests away.”
“Yes, I will prepare right away.”
As I watched the butler disappear in an instant, I also started walking.
Trixie is being well looked after by the rest of the family, and the triplets are already receiving all kinds of cuteness. So much so that even if I just leave the room for a moment, it won’t cause any harm.
Just quickly say thank you and come back soon.

After the minister hurriedly returned to the mansion, I could not maintain my composition.
This is the moment when the children of Duke Ma Jong, not anyone else, are born, and the moment when the number of members of the Duke Katoban family increases for the first time in almost 120 years. It would be even stranger if the emperor was not interested.
There was even a report that wizards from all over the continent were gathering one by one in front of the minister’s mansion. It seems that the information that Ma Jong-gong had begun to go into labor was probably received through the wizards’ exclusive communication network.
‘Only unusual things have been gathered.’
In the meantime, they must have chosen among themselves who would go, so only those with high reputation in the magic world showed their faces. It’s really fortunate because it would have been difficult if the unselected majority had flocked in.
As a result of spending a lot of time looking at documents that were difficult to see, I received the news I really wanted.
-Long Majong completed his childbirth safely. The Minister of Inspector General officially declared that all three children are healthy and that all they need to do now is regain the energy lost through childbirth.
The news is that both the mother and the children are safe.
‘It’s done.’
I breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the report from the Minister of the Palace of Internal Affairs.
To be honest, I wasn’t this relieved even when Charlotte was born. At that time, I was nervous because I was a first-time father. Looking at it objectively, it was a natural moment that the Empress and the Princess would be safe.
However, giving birth to three children at the same time is unstable even with the empire’s excellent medical system. Since the crisis has been overcome safely, it is not lacking to say that it is the empire’s red robe.
“The Minister and Lord Majong will both be busy today, so let’s send the gift tomorrow.”
– That’s a wise decision, Your Majesty.
Gifts received when you are busy are not particularly memorable. If the gift you prepared will be forgotten, it is right to spend it leisurely tomorrow.
As soon as I gave that command, I reached for the documents I had left next to me. Now I can finally work with peace of mind
“By the way, Minister. Have the children’s names been decided?”
I asked the Minister of the Palace of Internal Affairs, who just lowered his head in response to a question that suddenly occurred to me. Due to the nature of the minister, the names of the children must have been thought of in random numbers.
– Yes, Your Majesty. The first is Maria, the second is Cecilia, and the third is Catlea.
And as expected, a name that will lead the future of the Catovan Dukedom emerged.
Maria, Cecilia, Catleara.
‘I didn’t come up with the name alone.’
It is not a name that would come out based on the minister’s sensitivity.

When the good news was told to the wizards outside the mansion, a roar that echoed throughout the entire island broke out.
To be honest, I was a little scared. I felt like a normal person thrown among fanatics. If I had met an enemy, I would have jumped away without looking back.
“Knife.”
“Ah, Mar.”
After thanking the wizards and talking about the banquet, I returned to the room and was greeted by Mar.
“What happened? “Suddenly the window rang.”
“Wizards.”
“Ah.”
It was a short word, but Mar nodded her head in understanding. For wizards, the birth of Mahjonggong Junior x3 is an unprecedented event in their lives.
“Hehe, everyone was shocked. I was wondering what would happen if the kids who were asleep woke up again.”
“Sleeping?”
Now that I think about it, the crying that could have been heard in the hallway when I left the room was no longer audible. I didn’t know that she fell asleep while I was away for a moment.
“Go and see. It’s cute and different from a pedi.”
With those words, she approached the children without hesitation. Of course, sons and daughters have different cutenesses.
“…Oh.”
And when I saw the children sleeping, still holding each other’s hands and pricking their ears, the corners of my mouth naturally rose.
It’s a shame. Elves have ears, and if it didn’t mean something, they would touch them.
‘It’s a little short.’
I laughed when I saw my ears were shorter than Trixie, who was mixed race.
Since it’s a quarter instead of a half, the ear length is also a quarter.
