709 – The Owner Must Ensure Authority – 1

Erich’s wedding for the New Year. The last dance performed by the Three Kingdoms of Winter just before their fall. The Gerhard incident, which almost led to the emergence of the first resident priests. Marriage between the royal family and the marquis’ daughter. The eternal blue sky’s new possession, etc.

As soon as the new year came, many incidents occurred one after another, but the hectic days also began to calm down.

‘It’s quiet.’

A time when the days are getting longer and you start to see rain rather than snow when you wake up.

Now the island was moving beyond winter and slowly entering spring. It feels like it’s been a hectic few months, but it’s amazing that February is finally coming to an end.

Still, if you think about it positively, things that were supposed to happen in the first half of the year happened all in January and February. I don’t in good conscience expect this year to be quiet, but I believe the first half of the year will be just as quiet. If Enen has a conscience, he must.

– Woof!

While I was lying blankly on the bed and looking out the window, Titi put her paw on the bed and barked.

“Shall we go for a walk?”

It seemed like a signal to go out and play together, so I slowly got up.

To be honest, going out of the house is a hassle, but I can’t put off taking Titi for a walk. If our Titi wants to get some fresh air, she should be willing to go outside.

– Woof!

When I got up, Titi ran to the corner of her room and came back holding her leash.

Our Titi is great. Now, I’m taking care of the things I need to go for a walk. I think I’ll bring some snacks or toys to eat during the walk.

‘…Why do you go out so often these days?’

While putting the leash around Titi’s neck, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

TT was active from the beginning. When she was a baby, she ran around the mansion, and after she grew up, she roamed around the mansion’s garden and back garden. In addition, sometimes when the wives and workers have to go out, they go for a walk together. The child who is that active is Titi.

But at some point, Titi was not satisfied with just playing in her garden and her patronage. Every morning she came running to my room and begged me to go for a walk.

‘Is the mansion no longer fun?’

She stroked Titi’s head, which was panting brightly.

But. No matter how large the mansion is, it is ultimately just a building. She must have been bored now that she has been wandering around the mansion for so many years. No wonder Titi craves her walks her her.

Moreover, the larger the animal, the more active it becomes. It’s nothing short of a miracle that Titi, who boasts the size of her adult dog, has been satisfied with her garden so far. It is more correct to say that she tolerated it out of consideration for me, the owner.

“Let’s go now.”

– Wow!

I burst out laughing at the sight of Titi wagging her tail like a windmill.

She was dumbfounded when she was forced to give Titi to Sang-tae, but now that she thinks about it, it was the greatest treasure that Sang-tae had ever given her. Without Titi, the mansion would have been more boring than it is now, and taking care of her children would have been difficult.

Our Titi. Please live with us for a long time.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been traveling around the islands with Titi, but I’ve reached a point where even the Island Guard soldiers I encounter while walking greet Titi warmly.

“Meeting Your Excellency.”

“You’ve worked hard since morning.”

“It’s our mission to protect the system, so we have to work hard even if it’s early in the morning. Oh, good morning to you too.”

– Woof!

The security guard shows courtesy to me and waves to Titi.

Fortunately, Titi is good at remembering the smell of people she has seen, so she was happy to hear the security guard’s greeting her, wagging her tail.

“It looks like the hair is thicker than before.”

“I don’t know if I gained weight or hair.”

The security guard burst into laughter at my words.

Titi’s presence has made me a quiet and gentle dog lover, not a cold and ruthless inspector. Thanks to this, I was able to build an image that allowed me to make small jokes with a guard soldier.

Anyway, the people I usually have to deal with are nobles and high-ranking officials, not front-line guards. There is no particular harm in establishing a familiar image to the guards.

“Your Excellency. I recently received some fruit from my mother in my hometown. If you don’t mind, could I give it to you as a gift?”

“If you send it to me, I will be grateful.”

Thanks to the familiar image, you can even receive gifts like this, so it is full of small benefits.

Agricultural products grown and harvested directly by farmers in the countryside. Honestly, in terms of quality, fruits that are thoroughly selected and distributed by large merchants are probably superior, but products delivered directly from the countryside have their own taste. There is a subtle difference that is difficult to express in words.

“There will be no problem if Titi eats it, so you can rest assured.”

“Oh no. Titi is going to steal it all.”

– Kkeiing…?

Titi suddenly becomes a thief dog and whines. Seeing that, the security leader’s smile she grew even deeper.

After that, we encountered three more guards. I give gifts to each security guard I meet, so I’ll have to send some generous donations to the guard soon.

– Woof!

“Let’s go back now?”

– Woof!

After wandering around the system for about 2 hours. Hearing Titi’s cheers, I turned to the mansion.

Yes, Titi must have been satisfied as she had been wandering around for 2 hours since morning. When I get back, I’ll take a quick shower, have an early lunch, and then take a light nap─

“Knife?”

“Mother?”

On the way to the mansion, I ran into her mother. To be exact, her mother, who was walking with her nanny while holding Teresa in her arms.

“We all meet in a place like this. “Were you taking a walk?”

“Ah, yes. I thought Titi was bored…”

I was a little embarrassed, but I was convinced when I saw the direction her mother had come from.

Seeing as he came from the direction of the teleportation magic circle, he must have been on his way from the magic circle to the mansion. We met at the right time.

“Come here, magician. It’s still cold. Why did you come here?”

“Teresa likes to walk around. She doesn’t come to the island often, so it’s time to show her around.”

“Wow! This is awesome!”

I laughed when I saw Teresa nodding her head confidently.

That’s right. Our Teresa is the type of person who would prefer to walk around and see the institutions like this rather than just crashing into a mansion without any fun.

“By the way, Teresa. If you like looking around, shouldn’t you just walk?”

“Huh?”

Teresa’s eyes rolled back and forth at my words, and she fell deeper into her mother’s arms.

“They say the cold makes you sick…”

When you get down on the floor and walk, you have to escape from your mother’s warm embrace. No matter how lively Teresa is, she doesn’t seem to like that.

It’s a little bit difficult. Even though Teresa is still young, her mother may have a hard time if she continues to carry her around. As the eldest son, this is a situation I cannot sit idly by.

“Then do you want to ride on Titi?”

“Third zodiac sign?”

Then Teresa’s eyes sparkled.

A big, yellow, fluffy dog. Wouldn’t Teresa be more coveted than any other famous horse? There is no doubt that this is the truth that has already been proven by our children, including Peddie.

“I want to get out! I want to get out!”

“Okay. Instead, if I get on Titi’s back, I have to stay still?”

No matter how small a child is, if he moves around, Titi can get hurt.

“Arasseu! Stay still!”

Fortunately, Teresa was already obsessed with Titi and did not express any regrets about my small restrictions.

Titi is also a children’s idol. Not sure about the effect.

***

Titi walks with a light step, as if she is used to carrying a child. Teresa enjoys riding on Titi. Carl supporting Teresa’s back in case she falls.

It is a sight that will make you smile. Her much older brother took great care of her younger sister, and her pet gave the little one a ride. It’s a sight like something you’d see in a warm fairy tale.

Such fairytale-like events are everyday life for our children. It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t happy as a mother.

“Should I at least raise a dog?”

Moreover, even Laura, who was not very interested in animals, developed a desire for a pet after seeing Titi.

In fact, I also have that desire every time I see TT. Whenever I went to see Carl, her daughters-in-law, and her grandchildren, Titi always came out to the front door to greet me. She even played hard with her grandchildren. I’ve watched Titi for years, but it’s even weirder if she doesn’t develop any interest in the pet.

“They say growing up with pets is good for a child’s emotions. This is what an acquaintance at the Ministry of Education said, so it’s probably not wrong.”

Billy also seemed to like Titi, and she had been secretly saying that for some time.

So, even though we thought about raising a large dog, we were a little hesitant considering Titi’s lineage of hers.

‘A child raised by His Majesty the Sangwang.’

Titi was a child whom His Majesty the Emperor had personally raised since he was a cub, after his Majesty abdicated to the current Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor gave such Titi to Karl, and Titi grew up to be a smart and kind child, just like the child raised by His Majesty the Emperor.

So, thinking of TT as average is a serious error. Titi is overwhelmingly the top dog among dogs. If you raise your dog thinking that all dogs will be like Titi, problems of one kind or another may arise.

‘It would be nice to have Titi’s baby.’

She sighed inwardly. It may not be as good as the original Titi, but if you teach the children who carry on Titi’s blood, she will grow up to be a great dog.

Coincidentally, Titi is a male… So if Titi works hard, babies will be born soon.

‘…Let’s wait a few more years.’

When the time comes, Titi will find a partner and have children. Titi is life too, but you won’t live alone your whole life.

Let’s just wait patiently until then. In any case, if a child is going to live with us for more than 10 years, if it is a child who is going to exchange affection with us, it is better for it to be Titi’s baby.

Even after arriving at the mansion, Teresa did not get off Titi’s back to her.

“I want to ride more!”

– Wow!

“I’m also the zodiac sign!”

Teresa hugs Titi’s neck and holds on. TT shows a bright expression despite Teresa’s unexpected behavior.

It was clear that it would be difficult to carry a child along with the walk, and she even felt sorry to see Titi not showing any signs.

‘After all, it has to be Titi’s baby.’

At the same time, my resolve to hold out for just a few years became stronger.

She is Teresa, who has already become accustomed to Titi. Teresa will be satisfied only if she raises a child who carries on Titi’s bloodline.

– Bruise?

As I stared, Titi tilted her head as if asking what was going on.

I can’t believe she’s quick to notice. She’s really perfect too.
