681 – A Younger Brother Is Twice as Old – 1

After the birth of the prince, the frequency of the princess’s visits to the mansion decreased drastically.

After listening to the emperor, it was said that he had no intention of leaving his side. Since she couldn’t bring her newborn baby to her mansion, she gave up going out and chose to play in her palace.

It is truly an enormous decision. Fedi, her younger siblings, Titi, holy beasts, and spirits reside in her mansion. Unlike the imperial palace, the entire hallway is covered with soft mattresses, so our mansion is like a huge playground in itself.

The Crown Princess had given up on coming to such a large-scale playground.

Just to see her younger brother.

“As your godfather, I am happy to see that your two royal highnesses have already shown special appearances.”

– Same goes for Jim. How much the Crown Princess cared for her younger brother. She can’t forget that she heard the prince at the banquet, and she’s still making a fuss about going there.

“Oh my. That’s troublesome.”

As soon as I finished speaking, both the emperor and I burst into laughter.

It’s amazing. Have I ever felt so happy and cozy while talking to an emperor? It’s so nice to talk about children instead of work.

“By the way. Are your eyes fully open now?”

– It’s still difficult to see anything, but the eyes themselves are opening well. Like a child of Livnoman, he had pretty purple eyes.

“I think Her Majesty the Crown Princess would be happier.”

– The problem is that I’m too happy. At this rate, I’m worried that he might wake up the sleeping prince and look into his eyes.

He burst out laughing at the Emperor’s cruel assassination. She is a child who does whatever the Crown Princess wants to do, but she is not the type of person to achieve her will even if it makes others cry.

On the contrary, when my younger brother bursts into tears after being forcibly woken up, I am the type of person who doesn’t know what to do and starts crying along with him.

-Anyway, for now the Crown Princess is quiet because she is preoccupied with the Prince, but as time goes by, her body will start to itch. Because she is not the type of person to stay quietly in the imperial palace.

“I will visit with my children soon.”

– After all, there is only the minister. Thank you.

First, when the emperor gave the answer he wanted, he nodded his head as if he was satisfied.

In fact, due to the Crown Princess’s life in the imperial palace, our children are also looking for the Crown Princess, who is also her older sister. Even though the emperor didn’t ask for it, I had to go there.

– Of course, you don’t have to come right away. The Minister will soon be seeing a new child, but she will have to stay at the mansion until her wife and child get back to normal.

“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”

It was a consideration considering the condition of Eri, who was pregnant, so he gently lowered his head.

I went to the imperial palace with the children, and when Eri gives birth, I have to return to the mansion quickly. At most, I can’t return with all the children who came to play, nor can I return alone, leaving the children in the hands of the emperor. In that case, it would be better to stay at the mansion until Eri gives birth.

-What. If the head of the family does not recognize the weight of being the head of the household, who will?

At those words, I glanced at the emperor’s face for a moment.

It doesn’t seem like it’s a concession to pay off debt or for any other reason. It was a remark and expression that was truly close to pure good will. If that’s acting, I’m destined to be ruled by the emperor for the rest of my life.

It’s a strange feeling. The emperor I have encountered so far is not one who shows kindness without intention. However, since the birth of the prince, he has been showing intermittent gentleness without cost.

‘Is it because of the banquet?’

When I think about it, it seems that the emperor’s attitude towards me became more docile after declaring that he would firmly protect the princess’s succession structure.

Well, if he solves his worries about his children and still pays a huge amount of money, that makes him even more crazy. The emperor is a man without conscience, not without intelligence.

– Well then, we’ll see you next time. Until then, take care, Minister.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I look forward to seeing you at the imperial palace.”

As I looked at the communication port that had lost its light, I slowly raised the corner of my mouth.

Although many factors were involved, the emperor became milder after the prince was born. From now on, when the prince’s birthday comes, I will have to give him plenty of presents.

This is the child who protected the peace of the imperial family and my mentality, so I need to show that level of affection and effort.

***

As each day passed, his hands and feet began to tremble.

Nervous. Have you ever been this scared in your life? Even when you married the minister, your emotions didn’t get this strong?

No, if I had to choose, when I cried in front of the minister, I was more emotional than I am now… But it was far from nervous…

“Sister?”

“Huh? Did you call me?”

I hurriedly raised my head at the sound of Rize’s voice

“The tea is going to cool down.”

At those words, I looked down at the teacup she was holding in her hand.

That’s right. It was definitely a steamy car, but before I knew it, the steam had gone beyond the light level and started to disappear.

“It’s hard to eat it when it’s hot!” I tried to drink it after it cooled down on purpose!”

But Rize would be worried if she found out that she was absent-minded. I pretended like nothing was wrong and drank the lukewarm tea in one go.

‘It’s not tasty.’

And like all teas that lose their flavor as they cool, the taste was not very good. If this is the case, I think it would be better to just drink water.

“Eri-nee.”

“Huh?”

“Because there is magic, it won’t hurt that much. White will be born safely, too.”

I smiled awkwardly at Rize’s comforting smile

“Is it obvious?”

“It’s huge.”

“I see…”

It was so… Obvious… I tried to hide it as much as possible…

Honestly, it’s embarrassing. I am the older sister who has lived longer than Rize, and I am also a veteran with extensive bureaucratic experience. That such a veteran couldn’t even manage her facial expressions properly in front of her younger brother. The name of the former Chief of Department 1 makes me cry.

“I had the same concerns as you, so it was obvious.”

Rize seemed to have sensed my embarrassment as she smiled and poured tea into my cup again.

“At least I’m more senior than her when it comes to having children. It’s difficult for a senior to not be as good as her junior.”

“Someone younger than me is a bit like that.”

“Isn’t your brother older than her sister?”

He said something shameful and difficult to refute.

Too bad. Pregnant women are delicate beings that are sensitive to even small shocks. So please treat it a little more preciously. Even if I say something wrong, just ignore it!

Hayang started kicking as if she had the same thoughts as her mother! How strongly do you sympathize with this before you kick it so violently! These are all our Hayang ‘s thoughts about her mother

The problem is that it’s so intense that even her mother’s body hurts her a little.

“It’s natural to be nervous because it’s your first time giving birth. No, you’ll probably be nervous even if it’s your second or third time. Your brother breaks into a cold sweat every time we give birth, right?”

As my expression her slightly distorted, Rize gently stroked my stomach. As if soothing Whitey.

“But the tension and pain are temporary. If you get over just a moment, happiness that can’t be compared to anything will come.”

After saying that, Rize smiled again.

“When my child turns over, she babbles, crawls, and walks. I am accumulating memories that I will never forget for the rest of my life. When I wake up, I am excited to see how much my child will grow.”

Eventually, he held my hand.

Rize’s hands are much warmer than I thought. Is it because I touch the oven often?

“Her sister will be able to feel that happiness after a while. So don’t worry about her.”

But what was warmer than his hands his his his was his heart his his his. It was also a voice that instantly warmed the hearts of those who heard it.

“Furthermore, the medical staff who came to the mansion have already taken care of us four times. We even had the experience of safely receiving triplets.”

“Suddenly I feel very trustworthy.”

As soon as I heard that they were triplets, I started laughing without even realizing it.

What Rize said is correct. The triplets came into the world safely, and Trixie is also fine. Trixie might laugh at me if she finds out that I worry.

“It’s Rize.”

“Yes, sister.”

“It’s something I like, but there’s something I can’t eat these days, so I’ll make you one as a gift!”

“Yes?”

Rize blinked her eyes as if the words were unexpected.

Still, I really want to give it to you now. Normally, I get the urge to drink just by going nearby, so I resist it, but thanks to Rize, I feel much more at ease!

“If you mix red wine and white wine! You’ll end up with a pretty pink wine like Lise’s hair!”

“…Mixing it?”

“Yes! This is really delicious!”

It’s a secret drink that I gave to the Minister before! It’s okay to be happy!

Thanks to her mother’s peace of mind, her white child seemed to be at ease as well.

“Ughhh!”

After making a special blend of wine for Rize, Hayang began struggling to come out into the world.

Still, our Hayang… Stayed still while mom was working… Thank you…

Although I was a very grateful child who already thought of my mother, I felt a little resentful.

“Why are you coming from a place like this…!”

Even with the help of magic, I felt tremendous pain. To the point where I kind of hate Hayang, who is embarrassingly trying to be held in her mother’s arms.

“You put it here, so of course it comes out here!”

“That’s not true…!”

Meanwhile, one of the midwives responded to my complaint with perfect logic.

Everyone is so great! In times like this, please give me some empathy!

***

I sighed at the sound of Eri’s screams coming from beyond the door.

This is already my fifth birth. You might get used to it by now, but as always, this time, instead of familiarity, nervousness and anxiety gripped my heart.

I think I’ll be amazed. If you win this moment, you will receive a joy that cannot be compared to any other happiness, but this fleeting moment is so painful and resentful.

“It’ll be okay this time too, right?”

Still, it seems that the experience of giving birth four times and seeing six children was not completely in vain. Now, positive thoughts are creeping up along with vague anxiety.

“Of course. The blessed child is born, and Enen will be watching over it, right?”

The corners of his mouth that had been stiff raised at Mar ‘s comfort

In this world where God exists, receiving God’s favor is an advantage that is not trivial. As Mar said, if I am Enen’s blessed child, and if I am under Enen’s watchful eye, then Hayang, who inherits my blood, will also be born safely under Enen’s protection

“But a knife.”

“Huh?”

“It’s good to worry about your sister, but right now I think it’s better to worry about her, her Excellency, the Marquis rather than her sister.”

“Ah.”

When she hurriedly turned her head at those words, she saw the fifth father-in-law shaking her legs with a pale complexion.

I definitely think it would be a good idea to comfort my father-in-law as much as I can.
