561 – What Happened at Sea – 1

There was a minor commotion when the dead Dorgon tampered with a living knife, but fortunately no major incidents occurred after that.

What is more unusual is that the commander of the 6th Corps, who remained in Leon, returned to Korea and was promoted to commander of the Southern Army, and Ainter returned to the system along with Shati. Even though I store those events in my head, they were not events that particularly threatened my mental health.

“I guess blonde hair is destined to be linked to silver hair.”

And the emperor nodded as if he was satisfied with the report that Ainter and Shati were getting along well in social circles.

It looked a little ugly. If this were just a remark made upon seeing the younger brother and his wife (to be), one would think that the older brother is a bit unusual, but of course the Empress also has silver hair like Shati. Rather than feeling relieved for his younger brother and his wife, the aspect of a loving wife seemed stronger.

“The colors are opposite to each other, but that’s probably why they are attracted to each other.”

“Haha, the minister is right. We are attracted to each other because we have differences.”

However, if the words relate to the Empress and not to anyone else, you must obediently agree. If you react carelessly, you may be criticized by both the Emperor, who has his wife’s mode activated, and the Empress, who feels disappointed.

Thanks to such appropriate behavior, I was able to maintain peace without anyone disturbing me, and I was able to concentrate completely on my work.

“Awww!”

“Our pedi is so fast!”

For the very important task of crawling on the floor with a pedi.

‘How many hours has it been already?’

I felt a bit tired, but Pedi was having so much fun running around that I matched her pace with her smile. I like my pedi, but my fatigue is not important.

‘Let’s hold on just a little longer.’

I tried to ignore her throbbing knees and looked at her majestic pedi.

Before she knew it, Pedi had grown to the point where she could crawl on her own, so she started running around cleaning the entire mansion, as if to relieve her resentment of having been lying in her bed for so long. In fact, the knee pads she put on her pedi turned black after just a day.

That’s why I’m crawling along too. She was worried that Pedi, who boasts of her infinite stamina, would go somewhere strange if she was left alone, and she expressed her dissatisfaction by crying loudly when she was put to bed.

Of course, the employees tried to dissuade me from walking on all fours, saying that they would take care of Sogaju, but if it is not a time when I am enjoying a legal vacation, when can I get a pedi and play with him? Sharing emotional connection with children is one of the important duties of a father.

– Wow!

“Wow!”

‘Ah.’

Meanwhile, a catastrophe occurred when Pedi and Titi, who were crawling vigorously, ran into each other.

“Tee, tee!”

“Not in that direction!”

And from the direction where Titi appeared, Juris and Sophia were seen running urgently.

It’s a pity, but it’s already too late. Once a baby who is curious about the world and a dog full of energy meet, there is nothing we can do.

‘I’ll be wandering around for three more hours.’

I slowly closed my eyes because I could see a gloomy future.

When Pedi and TT come together, it doesn’t just stop at 1+1. I was guiding Pedi in a direction where Titi wasn’t, as it exerted almost 10 or 20 levels of destructive power, but I didn’t know that Titi would smell Pedi and come running.

‘You’re already taking the Sogaju line.’

I felt a little, just a little, resentful of Titi. A pet that plays with its owner without paying attention to its owner’s hardships.

Still, it was only a bit harsh, but I didn’t feel any discomfort. Even Titi, an animal, likes our pedis.

‘Let me understand with my father’s heart.’

Besides, it would be good for me if there were more people to play with Pedi. When the triplets start crawling, Titi will play well with them.

– Wow!

“Aww!”

When I saw Pedi and Titi opening their mouths to each other as if they were having a conversation, the corners of my mouth went up.

However, after that, as I crawled around the mansion for another 5 hours, I almost cried. At this rate, you will become more accustomed to crawling on four legs than walking on two feet.

Peddie, who enjoyed exploring the mansion while the sun was up, fell asleep motionless at night.

He actually slept soundly without waking up in the early morning. It’s only natural that she lost all her energy during the day.

“Ehhhhh!”

“aahhh!”

“Okay, daddy’s here.”

Thanks to this, the amount of time I can devote to caring for the triplets has increased overwhelmingly. If Fedi had cried at dawn, she might have collapsed a long time ago.

“Oh my, why am I so sad that I’m crying?”

Anyway, I checked the condition of Cecilia and Cattleya, who were crying loudly, and patted them on the back carefully. In the meantime, Maria is just blinking her eyes.

“Our eldest daughter is already brave.”

“Ah─”

As if responding to my words, Maria smiled and stretched out her hand to me.

So cute. Even though her younger siblings were crying on both sides of her, she was smiling such a lovely smile. If I had three hands, I would have held Maria’s hand her her right away.

“…Uuuh…”

“Ah.”

And when her father did not dare to hold her eldest daughter’s hand her, Maria also began to cry.

I was in big trouble. Wouldn’t it be very difficult if all three of us cried? However, if you empty your hands, it is certain that the children who have started to become quiet will cry even more sadly.

“Give me Cecilia and Cattleya.”

“T-Trixie!”

While I was struggling, unable to do this or that, Trixie, who was sleeping in the next room, approached me.

I was impressed. It was Trixie’s job to look after the triplets while I crawled around on all fours. Trixie gave up sleep for me.

“If you give Maria a hug, she calms down immediately. If you give her a few pats, she will smile right away.”

I quickly hugged Maria for the advice that became her blood and her flesh.

Then Maria, who was really crying, began to flap her ears and laugh.

‘It’s cute.’

I really want to touch your ears just once.

***

The mansion was full of life every day.

Peddie runs around the mansion as soon as the sun rises, his brother her next to him walks on all fours instead of two, and Titi who quickly joins Peddie when he comes out into the hallway even though he is obviously somewhere else

Maria, Cecilia, and Cattleya require three times more effort, perhaps because they are triplets. As time goes by, Rize’s stomach grows little by little.

‘It seems like several families are living in one house.’

A thought that occurred to me a long time ago made me smile softly. Who would see this and think that this is the daily life of one family rather than several families?

Of course, it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. This hustle and bustle is a symbol of happiness. This is proof that our family will live a warm daily life forever without experiencing any threats or hardships.

‘…Family.’

My heart pounded at the word family.

Whether married or not, my brother already treats all his lovers as his wives. My brother smiles and says that he holds a wedding once every six months to consider the guests, but in his heart, he already did it a long time ago.

Nevertheless, the word marriage can never be taken lightly. There is a difference between being a de facto couple and being an official couple.

‘It’s already my turn.’

And apart from the excitement, it was a bit surprising. When my older sister first got married, it seemed like my turn, the fourth, was far away, but now my turn is approaching.

‘I’m marrying you.’

As I looked down the particularly clean hallway where my brother and Pedi had passed by, I thought back to the past for a moment.

The shocking news that there was a competitor targeting her brother, Lord Ma Jong. When Mar heard the news, she became anxious and ran away, Rize chased after her, and I confessed because I felt like I wouldn’t have a chance to express my feelings if I stayed still. Br﹥

Thinking about it now, it was really confusing. When a huge catfish invades a peaceful lake, just as the original fish struggle, everyone went crazy at the time.

‘Shame on you.’

I sighed, fanning my hand as my face grew hot without me realizing it.

At the time of my confession, I was not able to communicate sufficiently with my brother. It was a time when affection was expressed but affection was not shown. I was anxious that another competitor might appear on such a topic, and that I, who was already the fourth, would be pushed further out, so I confessed without any hesitation.

According to the original plan, I was going to have a good relationship with my brother during the three years of the academy and have a chance meeting with my brother even after graduation. That way, there is a high probability that my brother will accept my confession.

…

‘I’m glad I accepted it…’

Really, I’m really glad. It’s a shame that a low-probability irregular number succeeds miraculously. I almost had to build rapport with my brother once I was dumped.

No, honestly, I don’t think my brother will hang out with the person he’s dating, so my relationship with him may have ended just like that.

‘…Why did I accept it?’

That’s why I even think like that sometimes. Why did my brother accept a confession that I thought would have a low probability of being accepted? Unlike Rize, who I was close to because we were in the same club, why did they accept me, who was also in a different club.

Even if I tried to pass it off as a good thing, the thought wouldn’t leave my head. If my brother simply accepted me out of sympathy, and if those feelings still remain, would I be able to call him his wife?

If the relationship is maintained through sympathy rather than mutual affection, do I have the right to be a wife?

‘I don’t know.’

I squatted down with my back against the wall. It’s funny that I’m thinking like this right before I get married, and yet I feel pathetic for not being able to ask her brother.

Wouldn’t it be better to be brave enough to ask? I can’t do this or that, what am I doing? What is the meaning of a relationship maintained so cowardly?

Even though I think this, I hate myself for wanting to maintain it like this.

‘Pathetic…’

The karma of pressing the wrong button lasts too long.
