676 – Double the Charge! -One

The work of building the Temple of the Eternal Blue Sky on the site of Jiz proceeded smoothly.

It was a bit difficult to move materials and manpower because it was an empty plain, but if necessary, you could move it little by little using teleportation. If even that is difficult, there is also a way to transport it by burning it on jizz. It’s my sister’s house, so I’m sure she’ll cooperate to that extent.

So we started the construction of the Temple of the Eternal Blue Sky, got the emperor to ban development of the nearby area, and appeased the children who begged to see the giant beasts again—

– Minister. I would like to have a conversation with the princess’s father as her godfather. Could you come to the palace for a moment?

The emperor’s call has come.

Normally, it would have been a call that would have caused all kinds of double lust, but it was a call to meet not as the emperor and minister, but as the princess’s father and godfather. If that’s the case, of course I should respond.

“Has something happened to Your Majesty?”

At the same time, I checked the princess’s situation just in case.

She is the princess who had fun at her mansion her yesterday, but her young children are extremely fragile. Since you can get seriously injured or get sick in just one hour, we cannot rule out the possibility that something went wrong with the Crown Princess’ body her.

– That’s not it. If you think about whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, it’s closer to a good thing.

“It is indeed a fortunate thing.”

After hearing the emperor’s confirmation, I sighed softly.

I don’t really believe that it’s close to a good thing because it’s the emperor’s subjective opinion of his, but he’s not the type of person to subjectively talk about his daughter’s health her of her her. It must be true that the Crown Princess is safe.

‘What’s going on?’

And following the feeling of relief, a feeling of doubt came over me. If the Crown Princess is healthy, the Emperor will never come looking for me.

– Anyway, please come by lunch. The empress will also be there, so please know.

“Yes, I understand.”

My suspicion grew even greater when I heard that even the Empress would be in the same place.

It is a gathering place for the Crown Princess’ biological father, her biological mother, and her godfather. I’m scared as to what kind of business they’re trying to bring up.

I was defrauded by the emperor.

“Head of the Crasius family, Minister of Inspector General Carl Crasius of Tyglehen meets with His Majesty the Lord.”

Emperor, you b*stard. You didn’t say there would be a situation.

Of course, they didn’t say that there wouldn’t be, but if they say that the Empress will be there and no one else is mentioned, then of course they assume that only the Empress will come.

“Please wake up. The Minister did not come here as a subject, but as the Crown Princess’s godfather.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

While I was blaming the emperor inwardly, I carefully raised my body from the situation I was lying down on.

With this, the Crown Princess’ biological father, her biological mother, godfather, and even her grandfather were all gathered together in one place. It is a line-up that will make your heart flutter.

“I’m sorry, Minister. His Majesty’s visit was right after I contacted the Minister, so I wasn’t able to convey it to you.”

Meanwhile, the emperor expressed his regret with a faint smile.

Once again, the desire rose to the top of my throat, but I held it back. Because in this empire, there are people that not even the emperor can control. If you came because you wanted to, even the emperor cannot stop it.

But if it was right after you contacted me, why wouldn’t you have sent me a text message? He’s usually a good guy.

“No, Your Majesty. What an honor it is to have been able to personally see that Your Majesty is doing well. So, please refrain from saying anything.”

Still, it was impossible to turn down the emperor in front of the empress and the situation. He lowered his head, looking as gentle and distant as possible.

“As expected, the minister’s loyalty to the imperial family is always beautiful. Not only does he help the luggage wholeheartedly and look after the princess with love, but he also worries about Her Majesty’s well-being. The minister is truly the emperor’s servant. “

“It’s too much praise…”

Weird. Even though it’s definitely a compliment, my stomach burns.

“Your Majesty. The Minister has also rushed to our request. Shouldn’t he finish his work quickly?”

“Oh, that’s right. I was so moved by my minister’s loyalty that I forgot about it for a moment.”

Fortunately, I was able to control my burning stomach with the empress’ appropriate intervention.

After all, the empress is the conscience of the imperial family. How much of a mess the Liv Norman royal family would have been without her her her her her her her her her.

“Minister. What I will say from now on is because I am the minister, the godfather of the Crown Princess and the father of her six children.”

And the Emperor, who nodded at the Empress’s dissuasion, continued speaking with a serious face.

“Soon, something big will happen to the imperial family.”

“Sergeant, what do you mean?”

He blinked at the emperor’s words and then turned his gaze to the empress.

Now that I think about it, her empress’s belly has grown to the point where it can easily be called full-term. Actually, I got pregnant before I got married to Eri, so it wouldn’t be strange if she gave birth at any time.

“I salute you, Your Majesty. What a blessed and joyful thing it is that Livnoman’s legacy will once again come to the world. It is an honor that Sosin, among all the nobles and subjects of the empire, can be the first to congratulate you.”

That’s why he bowed his head to the emperor and offered his congratulations.

Privately, the number of members in a family increases, and publicly, the imperial family becomes more prosperous. If you congratulate me, I congratulate you. It’s not something to be reluctant about.

“Yes, as the minister said, it is an auspicious event. But I also had a small concern, so I called the minister.”

I swallowed my saliva without thinking because the words got straight to the point.

It is a concern related to the birth of a new royal family. It is by no means a small problem, and it is one that members of the imperial family have already put their heads together to think about.

Still, no conclusion was reached, so they called me. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about what concerns would come out of the emperor’s mouth—

“If the second child is a boy… How large do you think the banquet to celebrate the birth should be?”

…

‘Ah.’

My head was pounding.

From the moment I heard the emperor’s words, I felt a headache and a sigh. It is not pain that comes because the emperor worries about nothing and says something absurd.

On the contrary, it is such a serious and important issue that one wonders why it has not been thought about until now.

‘The firstborn is a daughter and the second is a son.’

It has not yet been confirmed that the second child will be a son, but it is too late to worry about it after he is born. We need to come to a conclusion in advance now that we have some time to spare.

“You will be born soon, so you and the Crown Princess are three years older than each other.”

“That’s right. It’s not like they were born one after another, but it’s not a big gap either.”

At my words, the emperor bowed his head with a serious expression.

3 years old. It’s an ambiguous difference. It is a large number for people of the same age, but it is an ambiguous number to establish a respectful hierarchy.

That’s why it hurts. What if the second child is born male? What if the age of the legitimate prince, who is not an illegitimate son, is only three years older than the princess?

‘I’m only going to get attention for no reason.’

There is a high possibility that the eyes of the nobles will turn to the prince.

Of course, there are no red flags during the Crown Princess’s enthronement process. In the history of the empire, there is already a precedent for three empresses to ascend to the throne, and if the scope is expanded to nobles, the number increases even more. Right now, two out of the five dukes are women, so there is no foolish noble who would object to a woman’s ascendancy.

However, just as there is a precedent for the eldest female to inherit the legacy of the previous generation, there is also a precedent for the eldest female to be inherited by her second younger brother. Even if the nobles do not raise objections, ‘Wouldn’t the succession structure change?’ You may have some doubts.

‘Though it will never change.’

The Emperor and Empress are not inclined to exclude the Empress Dowager from the succession structure because she is a woman. It would be better for the Crown Princess to grow up to be the owner of her twisted mentality, or to show off her enormous shortcomings in ability, and then she will become an abandoned Crown Princess.

Moreover, didn’t the Crown Princess become the Crown Princess as soon as she was born? This was right after conquering the North, at a time when the emperor’s authority reached its peak. It is not something the imperial family would want for the succession structure that was so firmly established to be shaken.

In that case, I think the banquet commemorating her second birth she should be held more frugally than when the Crown Princess was born ─

“I am the first member of the royal family to be born after Your Majesty ascended the throne, so I cannot take this lightly.”

“That’s the problem.”

To complicate matters, the soon-to-be-born second child is the first member of the royal family to be born since the emperor’s accession to the throne. In a way, she is a child who symbolizes the emperor’s enthronement and prosperity.

Neglecting the birth of such a child? As it is, the story behind it is bound to come out.

However, if you do it extravagantly, the nobles will only have meaningless questions.

Also, if you do it weakly, the future prince may be disappointed…

“…It’s difficult.”

“It’s difficult.”

I wonder if this is what the officials who were involved in the Yesong debate felt like.

Suddenly, before I was possessed, I was able to understand the pain of my ancestors.

***

I wrote a number with colored pencil.

Not much time left now! Just erase a little more and you’re done!

“Your Highness.” You seem to be in a good mood.”

“Wow! If we wait a little longer, a little brother will be born!”

“It’s already that time.”

The head maid smiled as if she was as happy as me.

Of course, a chief maid would be nice too! Me too, I really like it!

“Hehe…”

So, I grabbed my brother’s calendar with a few numbers left.

A calendar for my younger brother that we made together! A younger sibling will be born when this number is reached!

“Little brother! See it quickly and sip!”

“Since Your Majesty has been waiting so eagerly, a healthy and wonderful younger sibling will be born.”

“Really!?”

I was happy with the words of the head maid.

Of course, Fedi, Maria, Cecilia, Katlea, Pudi, and Alina are my younger sisters… But they are not my younger siblings who stay at home with me! Now I have a younger brother like that!

My little brother plays with me every day! My little brother sleeps with me! A younger brother being held in the arms of both father and mother!

“Hehe…”

Please report back quickly, my little brother!

When you are born, I will treat you very well! Take me to my father-in-law, let me play with my younger siblings… Everything!

Oh, doggies and animals also like their little brother, right? You’ll love it! I’m sure it will!
