633 – Springtime Sea – 1

After a night out, I returned to the mansion.

“Apppa?”

And as soon as I opened the front door and entered, I could see Pedi riding around in a TT.

I’m impressed. The first person to welcome this dad is our lovely eldest son. I guess this is because Pedi wanted to see his dad so he was nearby, right? Is that so?

It doesn’t matter if it’s not true. Whatever the intention, it doesn’t change that it was Pedi who welcomed her father first.

“My pedi! Dad’s here!”

“Apppa!”

– Woof!

As I stretched out her arms toward Pedi, Titi’s steps naturally turned towards me.

I am always thankful for Titi’s insight and her extraordinary intelligence. Thanks to her, she is able to play the role of Peddie’s playmate and friend her her, and carries Peddie to her her father’s arms her her her.

“Owner?”

“Is the owner here?”

Soon, the holy trees scattered throughout the mansion appeared one by one.

I was strangely happy to see the kids I saw all the time for the first time in a few days.

“Nothing happened while I was gone, right?”

“The Crown Princess ‘power is getting stronger. If she is caught wrongly, her whole body hurts.”

“Nothing happened.”

“If you’re going to say that, why did you ask?”

I laughed at her protest of humility, which was filled with disappointment. Even if the Crown Princess becomes stronger, it’s hard to believe how strong she becomes.

“Yes. You had a hard time.”

Still, it cannot be denied that these guys are very active as playmates for the Crown Princess and our children. It is a clear fact that the difficulty of raising children has plummeted thanks to the number of saints reaching 11.

So the food and shelter provided to these animals is maintained at the highest level. If you treat them poorly and then run away from home because you can’t afford it, it’s in trouble.

“That’s right. “I brought a friend of yours.”

“Friend?”

“Were there any other sealed gods besides us?”

“No… In my memory… There are no gods other than us…?”

The saints began to whisper at my words.

When I saw that, my heart ached a little. They think that if they are their friends, they must be gods.

‘Speaking of.’

And that’s not a word that was a god like these, but an ordinary word.

“It’s not God, it’s just words.”

Feeling sad to see the saints continuing their serious discussion, he slowly opened his mouth, and the whispers of the saints stopped as if they were lies.

“…Just saying? You mean it’s an ordinary animal?”

“Uh.”

“That’s why we’re friends! At least we have to be of the same rank to be friends!”

At those words, I glanced at Titi.

To put it bluntly, things are being sorted out in your TT line. Still, I especially consider you and TT as friends.

“Well, hasn’t that guy known the owner for a long time? We don’t go out of our way to the point where we ignore our seniors.”

I just nodded silently at the excuse of humility.

It’s an excuse that can easily be refuted, but it’s obvious that if you refute it, you’ll get hurt. There is no need to tease our children’s playmates more than necessary.

“A horse?”

Meanwhile, kindness in the form of words muttered with an expression as if the world had collapsed.

“Are you saying that a guy whose image overlaps with mine has arrived?”

I was shocked because the voice was full of despair.

Kindness’s expression and voice were that cruel and sorrowful. Just as the poor living in the redevelopment area encountered workers holding iron pipes.

“I-I tried so hard to make you happy…! Now you’re saying something different!”

“It’s a lot bigger than you, so it’s impossible to get a pedi on.”

“Oh, that’s it.”

The kind expression on his face quickly became calm after my further explanation.

It seems that he has completely forgotten that he was an evil spirit. I just stay in the mansion as Peddie’s loyal horse.

“Ma-al?”

Unfortunately, Peddie, who was listening to our conversation, showed interest in her new words.

“Maal, is this more important?”

Seeing Pedi’s sparkling eyes, Kindness’ complexion darkened again.

Without realizing it, I was looking for kindness. Considering his past as an evil spirit, he is kind and lives a rather ugly life, but he is also a guy who runs around the hallways for a pedi. Like that guy said, I worked hard for Pedi’s happiness.

“There’s a black guy. Do you want to see it?”

“Wow!”

However, Pedi’s curiosity was more important than feeling sorry for his kindness.

Understand. He’s too big to play with Pedi anyway. In the end, you have to carry the pedi.

“How is it that fate gives new words even though I am there… !”

As I walked out the front door holding Pedi, I heard her sorrowful voice behind her.

I was a little scared to see the guy who was an evil spirit act like that.

The black horse was released in the back garden for now.

Of course, there was a separate stable in the mansion, but it was already full of other horses, so it couldn’t be put there. Until we expand, we’ll have to keep it under sponsorship.

“Maal! It’s black! It’s so big!”

– Purring?

Thanks to this, the black horse that was dozing under the tree suddenly raised its head at the sound of Peddie’s voice.

Then he looked at the pedi absentmindedly and then turned his attention to me. As if asking who the child in your arms is.

“My son.”

– Phew!

The dark horse suddenly stood up at the short answer.

This b*stard. Surprisingly, he was sensitive to the hierarchy of power.

“Wow! Waa!”

Anyway, when the black horse got up, Peddie let out an even more intense exclamation.

Even when lying down, it was a black animal that was bigger than any animal Pedi had ever seen. But then the big guy stood up with his legs spread out? For Pedi, who witnessed its enormity for the first time, it was nothing short of a new world.

“Abba! Dad!”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Me! Me! Black! I want to ride!”

The black horse, which had suddenly been given the name Kamang, lowered its body as if it understood Peddie’s words.

It’s an amazing sight. In the North, a famous horse that has been carrying people like crazy is trying to pick up a child himself.

‘Count Judgher will cry when he sees it.’

If you tried to ride it, it would refuse with its whole body, if you sold it to someone else, it would escape and come back, and if you tried to tame it, it would be upset. Count Yudher would shed tears of blood because such a black man gave in to power and allowed a child to turn on him.

I can’t help it. Let’s increase the manufactured goods supplied to the County of Yudhe by 40%. I’m also curious to how far this will expand.

“Since Black Mang is big, let’s ride with Dad.”

“Wow!”

Peddie willingly nodded his head at my suggestion.

Thank god. I was worried about how to calm him down if he gets upset about riding alone.

“Huh… !”

And when the black bird got on the body, Kindness, which followed along, let out a sad cry.

But I tried to ignore it. I believe that other holy beasts will comfort me—

“Wow, is this kid really crying?”

“How does it feel to lose the boy you used to bite and suck like that? Please tell me.”

“The charity I was riding with is fine, but why are you like this?”

I shouldn’t expect much consolation.

“Daddy! Old woman!”

“Do you like it?”

“Ungh! Ungh!”

The sobs of kindness grew louder in Peddie’s clear voice

It is truly a pity.

“That’s right! Jjageun-ae is even tighter!”

“Huh?”

“Huh…?”

Her sobs of kindness stopped at Peddie’s words her her her her.

“Jjageun-ae! Publish it! Have fun at home with me!”

I almost burst out laughing because it was a more practical decision than I thought.

The black cat is larger than other animals, but because of its size, it cannot move around at home. On the other hand, kindness is small, so you can ride it at home.

Moreover, rather than the black cat I saw for the first time today, my heart will be drawn more to the kindness I played with than before.

“Yes, master!”

Thanks to this, Kindness, who looked like she was lost in the world, trampled on the ground with her front feet and expressed her excitement.

Now I can’t go anywhere and say that he was a former evil god.

***

It’s been a few weeks since my brother went to the north.

“Is it delicious?”

– Puhi hing!

And it’s been several weeks since the black horse that my brother brought from the north—no, the one that Peddie named Kamang—sat down in the stable.

Kamangi was a new family member that no one expected. It was my brother who went to the north to spend quality time with Fine’s older sister. Who would have thought that he would come back with Kamangi, saying he received it as a gift from Count Yudhe.

Even to those who lack knowledge of horses, Kamangi’s intelligence and abilities were remarkable. If the owner of Kamangi is not my brother, there would be many nobles who would covet it.

‘They said it was of the same bloodline as the horse that Yeok Cheonja rode.’

The northern language is superior to the typical continental language. This is a truth acknowledged even by those who despise and look down on nomads, calling them barbaric.

But what about the horse ridden by the man who unified the North for a time and continued the war for two years against the empire? It’s a lineage so splendid that most famous horses can’t even raise their heads. Having the same blood as that lineage cannot even be described as a treasure.

Maybe that’s why I became interested in Kamangi from the moment he came to our mansion. If she hadn’t been pregnant, she would have asked her older brother to ride it several times.

“I’ll take care of you next month.”

– Purung!

Kamangi nodded his head as if he understood what I said.

The sight made me smile. This month is Bada’s expected birth date. So, within the next month or so, you will be able to ride on Black Mangi’s back.

It is expected. What would it be like to ride this child? The speed and endurance of the horse will be excellent as it is from the north, and since it is a highly intelligent horse, the riding experience can also be calm. No, maybe he can roar more violently than anyone else.

Either way, this kid has his own charm. Whether it’s quiet or loud, I’m ready to accept it with a smile.

‘A precious child has arrived just in time for the birth of our sea.’

I gently patted my stomach. My brother may not have specifically intended it, but it is a positive sign that a famous horse came at the time when the sea was born. It seems that our sea will also grow into a strong and nimble child like blackfish.

“If the sea can ride a horse, can you give it a ride?”

-Purring!

I thought I knew the answer, so I stroked the black cat’s mane.

It’s the sea that often kicks mom’s stomach hard. He will grow up to be a very active child, so he will be able to be good friends with Kkamangi.

It will definitely happen.

─ I thought so.

“Huh…!”

“Ma’am! Take a slow, deep breath first!”

“There is no need to panic! It will be completed without any problems!”

I didn’t know that the next day after thinking that, I would be heading out to sea.

This kid is really in a hurry. Or maybe it’s a child who can’t wait to see her mom and her dad’s faces.

“Lin!”

“Master! We must avoid contact as much as possible now!”

“No, holding hands is okay!”

“You must avoid it anyway!”

Looking at my brother surrounded by employees from afar, I smiled softly.

It’s sudden, but it’s okay. You already knew that the time when a child comes out is in the child’s mind. That’s how Fedi, the triplets, and Friedrich came out.

So I’m fine. I had already made up my mind and was confident that the birth would end safely.

Our sea will be born healthy and come to my brother and me with a smiling face.
