682 – A Younger Brother Is Twice as Old – 2
Hayang was not born until after midnight.
In fact, considering the time when labor started, it was an average speed, but didn’t Lynn, who had given birth just before, had a surprisingly easy delivery? Perhaps because I had inadvertently held Lynn and Alina as the standard, I also became more and more anxious as I had to console my father-in-law.
Still, the birth ended safely.
“In the future, there will be magic that only a child can pull out…?”
Eri, who was lying in bed, was fine enough to say strange things as usual,
“Ehhhhh!”
Hayang, who had upset many people, cried in a loud voice, just like her mother.
A cry that is several times, dozens of times louder than that of the prince who was born not long ago. However, that crying sound was like a celebration of White’s birth and health, so it sounded like a sweet opera.
“You are a wonderful son.”
And the midwives who carefully cleaned Hayang’s body handed her over with a smile.
Son, my son. Our three sons, following in the footsteps of our eldest son, Ferdinand, and our second son, Frederick. The seventh child who carries on my blood.
“Now we have three sons and four daughters.”
He hugged Hayang carefully and smiled softly. Thanks to Trixie’s great performance her, his daughter she was living a wealthy life, and with the birth of Hayang, the gender ratio was adjusted to some extent.
It’s not that I don’t like my daughter, but wouldn’t it be easier for Fedi and Friedrich to have more siblings? No matter how good siblings are, siblings of the same sex and siblings of the opposite sex cannot help but be treated differently.
“Our Hayang. I think we can be good friends with His Royal Highness the Prince.”
I tapped Hayang’s cheek, who was still crying.
Hayang and the prince were the same age, born a few weeks apart, and their biological mothers, Eri and the empress, had been close seniors and juniors since their academy days. Since they even have the same gender, there is a high possibility that they will grow up as childhood friends.
…
‘Hayang must be raised normally.’
I made a promise to myself. We can’t raise our white cat with a personality like Eri’s. For the sake of Hayang’s reputation and the prince’s mentality, he must be raised as an ordinary, good, and normal child.
At least Eri and the Empress had a hierarchy of seniors and juniors. I can’t wait to see what will happen if we are the same age.
“Minister… I miss Hayang too…”
“Oh, yes.”
While she was alone in regaining her will, Eri’s voice brought her back to her senses.
Let’s think carefully about how to raise Hayang. Because now it is right to comfort Eri, who went through a hard time giving birth to Hayang, and celebrate the first reunion of mother and son.
“Hehe.”
Eri, who held Hayang in her arms like that, raised the corners of her mouth with a grin despite her haggard complexion.
As if White is to die for because she’s so pretty, as if she’s happy to be able to hold the child she’s had for ten months.
“When our son is born, White, we are going to call him Ferenc, right?”
“That’s right.”
She quickly nodded at Eri’s words.
Ferenc Crasius. The real name that will be called from now on instead of the given name Hayang.
Of course, if I were born as her daughter, I tried to give her a different name, but Hayang is her son, so let’s bury that name in our hearts for a while. Anyway, I don’t think Eri will end up giving birth to Hayang.
‘Ferrenzra.’
Come to think of it, Ferdinand, Frederick, and even Ferenc all have ㅍ in their names. Although it wasn’t my intention, my sons inherited P’s will. Does the next son’s first letter also have to start with ㅍ?
I laughed for no reason because I felt like I was suddenly using a twirlimja. My daughters also have ㄹ in the middle of their names, so from now on I will try to match the dorim character as much as possible.
“Ugh, huh… “
“Father-in-law?”
While I was looking at Eri and Hayang with that thought in mind, I heard my father-in-law struggling to hold back tears.
No, she was already beyond the point of holding it in and it was leaking out.
“We, our daughter… Are getting married this year, and we are also showing our father a grandchild… !”
However, I could not bear to dissuade him because the words were so solemn that those who heard them said them.
I know full well that before Eri and I became lovers, my father-in-law was going crazy inside. I know that even the marquis of the world’s most enviable empire suffered from her daughter’s marriage problems.
My father-in-law’s resentment was finally relieved. Starting with her wedding earlier this year, she got to see her grandson before the year was out. From my father-in-law’s perspective, it must have felt like he had reached heaven alive.
“Now I don’t think I will have any more time to see my great-grandchildren…”
“It seems like you have a lot of resentment.”
Eri grunted slightly at her father-in-law’s words
But she was only muttering softly. Eri also knows that she is the sore finger of her father-in-law, so she cannot raise her voice without permission.
“Son-in-law.”
“Ah, yes, father-in-law.”
“Thank you so, so much. I said I’ve lived without envy since the Asilon b*stards were destroyed, but now all my worries are gone.”
My father-in-law, who held my hand her her, continued to bow her head with tears streaming down her face her.
It’s rude to think like this, but it seems like my father-in-law cries more than Ferenc. Could it be that today is the day my father-in-law was born again?
“When that child entered the inspection department, I just wanted him to live a healthy life, but who would have thought that he would become like this in just a few years. It’s all thanks to my son-in-law.”
“This is too much praise. The father-in-law took care of Eri with her her her her love her her —”
“Don’t say that. She wouldn’t have set a fire inside me if she was my love child.”
It was something she couldn’t refute, so she kept her mouth shut. At some point, Eri looked the other way and was busy touching Ferenc’s cheek and hand his.
“Eri.”
“Neng…”
“I guess I should hug my grandson too.”
My father-in-law, who beat me and Eri with facts, hugged Ferenc with an expression that had the world to her.
A baby crying after being born and a grandfather crying when he sees the baby. It was truly a strange combination.
“Ugh!”
However, after being moved to her midwife’s arms, her father’s arms, her mother’s arms, and then into her maternal grandfather’s arms, Ferenc began to cry even louder.
Just when I was trying to get used to being in someone else’s arms, I was immediately held in someone else’s arms, so I felt like I was having a hard time.
“Hehe, my grandson! He’s full of energy!”
Actually, my father-in-law was satisfied with Ferenc’s wailing his.
The emperor’s congratulatory message arrived at lunchtime that day.
– I heard that both mother and child are healthy.
“Yes, Your Majesty. Thanks to the support of many gods and the Great Emperor, I was able to give birth safely.”
– Many gods.
The emperor laughed at those words.
I thought it was too pagan, but since the Church of Dawn acknowledged the existence of other gods, I guess it’s okay. Moreover, I am the Blessed Son of Enen, and at the same time, I am also the honorary priest of the eternal blue sky and the benefactor of Constantina. If there was Enen’s protection, there would have been the protection of those two as well.
Honestly, it seems like the eternal blue sky doesn’t have the power to protect anyone, but God is God anyway. I just decided to include it.
– Yes, the Minister must have had the blessings of various gods. I believe that my sixth wife’s child will be born safely.
“I am so sorry that His Majesty said that.”
– Really. The Crown Princess is also happy that her aunt gave birth to a younger brother.
This time I ended up laughing.
The Crown Princess, who was already happy that her biological younger sibling was born, even heard the news of her new younger sibling. If there were shame in her happiness, wouldn’t the Crown Princess’s happiness be close to infinite?
“If the child was born to her aunt her, does that make her a cousin to Her her Highness her her her?”
– That’s a new thing to say. If it’s the godfather’s child, isn’t it already like brother and sister?
Right. The Crown Princess was already the first child of a large family.
– Anyway, congratulations again. It looks like the Empress would like to go to her mansion in person to congratulate her, but she can’t tire out the woman who just gave birth. I told the mother to rest in peace as her luggage was all in good condition.
“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”
He bowed his head to the emperor’s words and expressed his gratitude.
Honestly, considering Eri’s personality her her, she will be able to lie comfortably whether the Empress comes or not, but she will be busy taking care of Eri and Ferencs, and her servants her her her will die ─
– It’s embarrassing to call him a substitute, but…
An unusual topic suddenly appeared.
-Her childbirth is over. Can she come to the palace for a moment?
“Yes?”
-Of course, I’m not asking you to bring the mother and her youngest child. Coming with my eldest son is enough.
The emperor spoke hurriedly, touched his chin for a moment, and then sighed softly.
-As I said before, when the Minister’s youngest child reaches a stable age, she wants to ask him to come with her children… But the Crown Princess really wants to see Pedi.
“Do you mean pedi?”
-Okay. The Crown Princess’ biological younger brother is Prince Hana, but isn’t her first younger brother her her Pedi? That’s how much love she has for her her her her pedi her her her.
It was unexpected, so I can understand. Of all my children, the Crown Princess was the one who was especially attached to Pedi.
‘This is true.’
I ended up smiling bitterly because it was a cute cause.
Although she can’t leave her biological brother, she misses her first sibling her, and when she goes to see her first sibling her her, she has to leave her her biological brother’s side her her her. She felt sorry for the Crown Princess, how restless she was and how she was tying her head.
“If that’s the case, we should go whenever we want. Instead, Seongsu has to play with other children, so I don’t think he can accompany us.”
– It’s okay. Just getting a pedi is enough for now.
At my answer, the emperor sighed in relief and nodded.
It seems that the emperor was also suffering greatly while I was anxious beside Eri.
***
While watching Carolusso sleeping comfortably, I ate some of the chocolate I had been saving.
I want to play with Carolusso, but my mother and the head maid tell me that Carolusso needs to sleep! So, if you wake up Carolusu, wear an eye patch!
‘I’m bored.’
Still, it’s a bit boring to see Carolusso alone. Sometimes, I would have fun playing with my younger brother like we did at home, but since my younger brother was sleeping, I had to go to play class.
That’s why I don’t even want to go home. It’s possible that Caroluso might wake up while he’s gone home.
“Wake up quickly…”
So she asked Carol Rusu every time. Wake up quickly and play with me.
“Your Majesty.”
“Ugh?”
I looked at the head maid at her words
“My godfather and Master Ferdinand have arrived.”
“Huh?”
What is it?
“Jinjjyang?”
“Yes. He is outside now.”
I quickly ran to the door and opened it.
It’s time! Pedi! If I can play with the two of you, I’ll be at ease!
