678 – Double the Charge! – 3
Regardless of the gender of the second child, a new life is being born, so let’s celebrate it with all our sincerity as adults. Thanks to this natural and heartwarming conclusion, both the emperor and I were able to spend peaceful days.
If you think about it now, it is absurd. I can’t believe I’m worrying so much about a problem that can be solved so easily.
‘What if the nobles are agitated?’
All you have to do is support the Crown Princess firmly enough to suppress that unrest.
Yes, this is the correct answer. It was the adults’ fault to suddenly appoint the newly born Crown Princess as the Crown Prince and to place the burden of being the next emperor on a child. In that case, it is the adults’ responsibility to ensure that the Crown Princess ascends the throne safely.
Perhaps because of my experience of avoiding annoying tasks with all my might, I even tried to avoid the moment when I had to take responsibility as an adult and godfather. Honestly, even as a father of six children, it’s embarrassing.
‘I have to become a proud father to my children.’
Children playing with Titi and the Holy Beasts, children falling asleep with many spirits attached to their bodies, children toddling down the hallways and then collapsing. I smiled slightly as I looked at the children playing in different ways.
A godfather who ignores his goddaughter’s well-being may also ignore the happiness of her biological children. However, a godfather who does his best to protect even his goddaughter can also protect her biological children her at the risk of her life her her her her.
I have now become the father of the latter. She became a person of shame both to her goddaughter and to her own children.
‘I’m going to be a little tired after the vacation.’
Of course, that honor and pride were not obtained for free. I’m on vacation right now, so I have a lot of free time, but when my vacation is over and I return to work, I have to take responsibility for my words.
As the minister of the Ministry of Supervision, a member of the Imperial Household, a member of the House of Nobles, the owner of several fiefdoms, and the head of the northern faction, he must thoroughly support the emperor and assist the Crown Princess. Don’t let the nobles dare to doubt the Crown Princess’ succession and structure her. To prevent the nobles from using the royal family, who should grow up on friendly terms, as their tools.
And to prevent the succession dispute that occurred in this empire just a few years ago from recurring.
‘That won’t happen because the Crown Princess is here.’
In fact, at that time, the b*stard 1st prince and the legitimate 2nd prince coexisted, which is why such a disaster occurred. As long as her enemy her her, the eldest daughter, the Crown Princess, endures, there will be no more succession disputes.
I am just thankful that the Crown Princess was born quickly.
“It’s time!”
While she was thinking that, the princess floating in the air came flying from beyond her hallway.
“Me! I’m higher than usual!”
“Congratulations, Your Highness.”
If you look closely, you can see that it is flying higher than last time.
At least it’s about 5cm.
Just before the Crown Princess returned to her imperial palace, she received a call from the emperor.
– Minister. I’m sorry, but could you please take care of her more? Maybe I should sleep at the minister’s mansion today.
And that too with an urgent expression and voice.
It was an unexpected request, but she calmly nodded. If this idiot asks her daughter to stay overnight, she has only one thing to talk about so urgently.
“I will speak well to Your Majesty. I will pray for the health and well-being of Her Majesty the Empress and Her Royal Highness, who will soon be born.”
The Empress’s birth has begun.
– Thank you, Minister.
The emperor smiled bitterly at my words and expressed his gratitude.
The Empress’s second birth. Although it will be better than the first birth of her, an atmosphere that is by no means light will surround the imperial palace. The atmosphere is probably too heavy for the young crown princess to handle.
Therefore, the Crown Princess must remain in our mansion until her childbirth is over. Even if the crown princess goes to her palace, no one will be able to soothe her heart.
– I will let you know as soon as the birth is completed safely. Until then, please.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I look forward to meeting you for the second time.”
With those words, the emperor’s face disappeared.
I don’t think things will go wrong. The Empress is a descendant of the Duke of Nuren, a renowned military family, and is a strong person who has not suffered from a single minor illness. I have already given birth to a princess without any problems, so this time will end safely.
I decided to think so. All I can do is hope for a positive outcome.
‘…What should I do until night?’
Eventually, he sought a way to keep the Crown Princess’s attention her her her her her her her her her her her her rather than on her her her her palace her her her her.
If labor has just begun, the palace will turn over for about 2 to 3 hours at the most. In that case, you have to hold on to the princess from evening until night, and by what means should you use any means to capture her…
‘Ah.’
There is one. Rather, since it was night, there was one way to do it.
‘Spirit Drone Show.’
Spirits that sparkle even during the day. Spirits that exert a strong presence like fireflies.
If you take Cattleya out to the garden, the spirits will also come out, and the night sky will be covered with sparkling spirits.
Of course, the spirits that follow Cattleya only follow Cattleya’s words her her her her. So, we may not be able to run an effective drone show, but at least we can save some time today.
‘If you keep it at home, it will come in handy someday.’
Without realizing it, I let out a sigh of relief. Although the users complained of pain thanks to the spirits that appeared all the time, they were able to make a decisive contribution at a critical moment.
Thank you, fireflies. From now on, even if I run into someone in the bathroom, I will just swear in my head.
***
I took several deep breaths and wandered down the hallway.
Even though it happened once, I can’t get used to it. I don’t know how the minister survived this experience four times.
‘I’m sure you’ll be safe.’
After walking around for a while, I sat down on a chair and sighed deeply.
In my head, I concluded that the empress and the child would be safe. Ma Jong-gong, who gave birth to triplet, is also healthy, but the chance of something going wrong with our Empress, who only gave birth to one child, is extremely low. The empire’s medical capabilities, magic, and divine power are by no means weak.
So, if you wait patiently, you will get the results you want. A crying child and a grinning empress will welcome you.
Obviously, I know it in my head…
‘My heart doesn’t follow.’
However, it is natural. Unfortunately, when God created humans, he created both reason and emotions. If there is someone who returns to reason alone, they would not be human.
“Your Majesty, please rest at ease.”
“Your Majesty?”
As her legs began to tremble with such nervousness, the man next to her quietly opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty is protected by the Emperor and under the protection of Enen. In addition, magicians, priests, and doctors full of loyalty are doing their best for your Majesty the Empress. So, anything you worry about will not happen.”
Situation I barely raised my eyebrows at His Majesty’s consolation.
It’s obvious comfort. It is a ritual comfort that anyone can give. However, if the words were said out of context, it is bound to feel different from what others say.
In that situation, His Majesty says something obvious to comfort me. Isn’t this something unthinkable before the abdication?
“And unlike our immediate lineage that was cut off due to an unfortunate accident, our lineage has continued without any anxiety or threat.”
“He is like that too.”
I burst out laughing at what followed.
Although the direct lineage of Livnoman was in turmoil due to various overlapping factors, our ancestors who had previously split into collateral lines continued to persevere. Even though she may have fewer children, there has never been a problem between a pregnant mother and her child.
Thinking about that gave me courage. Because the blood that seems to have been cared for by the Great Emperor and Enen flows through me to my second child.
“Your Majesty’s Majesty’s words are correct. This time too, our bloodline is safe—”
“Dad! Grandpa!”
?
For a moment, my head stiffened. A voice that I shouldn’t hear now stuck in my ear.
“…The Crown Princess?”
Unfortunately, I guess I was the only one who misheard, and His Majesty also turned his head with an expression of slight embarrassment.
“What a mess!”
As soon as I turned my head to follow His Majesty, I almost sighed. The Crown Princess runs towards me with a bright face. The Crown Princess runs with a transparent plastic bag in one hand.
Anyone can see that she is the crown princess. Even if you close one eye or both eyes, you are still our crown princess.
And behind the princess, the minister was walking with an expression like a criminal.
‘What happened, Minister?’
‘That’s it…’
I quickly questioned him with my eyes and mouth, but the answer I got back was devastating.
It seems that even the minister could not stop the princess’ stubbornness.
“This! This! “I brought it to show my mom!”
In the meantime, the Crown Princess came running in front of His Majesty the King and lifted up the vinyl she was holding in her hand.
“Hmm?”
Only then could I see that there was a strange creature inside the plastic.
There were four creatures that glowed like fireflies, but they were fireflies that emit different colors. It was truly an amazing sight.
‘Is it a spirit?’
Eventually, I remembered the identity of the firefly. Are these the spirits that follow the minister’s three daughters?
“Hey! It sparkles even more at night! I brought it because I was the only one who could see it!”
Hehe, I smiled at the sight of the Crown Princess laughing.
It was a short sentence, but I felt like I roughly understood the situation. She was a minister who mobilized her spirit to attract the Crown Princess’s attention her, but the Crown Princess, who saw her spirit in the night, said, ‘It’s good, so we should watch ‘it together.’ This is what she came to the conclusion. Thanks to that, she ran to the imperial palace, ignoring the minister’s dissuasion.
It may seem like too much to bring a spirit in a plastic bag, but let’s think that the Crown Princess was sincere.
“They are beautiful kids. Mom will like them too.”
“Really? If mom treats you well, her younger brother also treats you well!”
Her embarrassment gradually subsided after hearing the Crown Princess’ words her her her.
This is a child who ran despite the dark times thinking of her mother and her younger brother. Since she can’t send back the child who has already arrived, it is right for her to welcome him back.
“Your Majesty!”
Moreover, not long after, the tightly closed door opened.
“Your Majesty the Prince! His Majesty the Prince has been born!”
As if waiting for the Crown Princess to arrive, the second child was born.
My second son, our first prince. A child named Carolus with the Crown Princess.
