713 – Our Beautiful Mary – 1

It is a time when we can say that winter has passed and spring has come.

Days when flowers raise their heads one by one and the wind caresses the whole body with warmth rather than coldness. A daily life has come where warm sunlight welcomes you instead of a cold floor when you wake up.

The children seemed happy that the weather was getting warmer, so they rolled around in the flower garden in the garden instead of at the mansion. I’m worried about what might happen if I get infected with grass poison or get bitten by an insect, but with Trixie’s magic and the gardeners’ thorough management, I believe it will be okay.

“Was it worth it?”

I smiled happily and looked at the children, Titi, and Seongsu playing in the garden, and then quietly spoke to Jangsaengi who was next to me.

“It was worth holding on.”

Jangsaeng calmly answered my question.

I don’t think it’s a polite thing to say. In the first place, Jangsaeng is not delicate enough to be polite, and her complexion has returned to the bright state it was a few weeks ago.

It seems like it was easier to deal with one person rather than dealing with seven. No matter how close you are 24 hours a day, if you only play with one person, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Besides, if Teresa falls asleep, you can sneak away.

“Tell me if you’re tired. I won’t send you again next time─”

“That’s nonsense. Do you know how much the owner’s youngest brother follows this body? If I don’t go, the owner will be resented by the youngest brother.”

Perhaps afraid that his vacation would disappear, Jangsaeng continued speaking quickly

It was a desperate and desperate look, so I gently stroked Jangsaeng. If you joke about this twice, Jangsaeng will suddenly die.

“If it’s okay, I’ll keep sending them, so don’t worry. There are a lot of guys that need to go, so there’s still a lot left before the next turn comes.”

At those words, Jangsaeng lowered his head in sorrow.

Titi and the eleven holy beasts. Even if each person enjoys only two weeks of vacation, that’s a shopping 24 weeks. It takes about half a year to complete one revolution.

…

‘I think it’s okay?’

Come to think of it, wouldn’t a two-week vacation every six months be more than just okay? If you take it as a standard for a year, this means you can enjoy at least 4 weeks of vacation, which is far more than most civil servants.

‘Where can there be a master like me?’

For no reason, I felt proud. What an owner who cares so much about the welfare of his pets. At this level, he could easily be called the father of all pets.

The saints can even speak, so if you want something to eat, they can provide it to you right away, and if you are hurt or sick, they can heal it right away. It is the perfect environment to raise pets.

“Jangsaeng-ah.”

“Why but?”

“You will be more comfortable living like this than living as a god.”

My index and middle fingers were bitten by Jangsaeng.

It wasn’t painful, but after that day, Jangsaeng’s eyes became strangely poisonous. If Jangsaeng couldn’t speak, he would bark furiously every time he saw me.

Sorry. Even in my opinion, it was a bit too much to say.

Just as the warm spring breeze came to us, Buk in Fine’s arms was also preparing to come to us.

Now, my belly is so swollen that it won’t be surprising when I start giving birth. If you calculate it generously, the expected date of birth is around this time. Fine is finding it increasingly difficult to move.

All of these hints at the birth of North Korea. The day is finally approaching when all wives can enjoy tea time holding their biological children.

‘Finne was the only one who noticed because he had no children.’

In fact, considering the time she got married, she couldn’t have given birth sooner than this, but as the wife of a single person, there is no way she would be willing to be in a situation where she is the only one with no children. No matter how much reason she understands, she cannot help but feel sad in her heart.

So, she felt sorry for Fine every time, and felt uncomfortable about whether she should have delayed her wedding even more – but now she feels like she can relieve some of that guilt.

“Will the North be born as a son or a daughter?”

“If she looks like us, she will grow up pretty and healthy either way.”

I burst out laughing at Fine’s words

Yes, Fine is right. Whether she is a son or daughter, if she has my blood, she will become a stronger child than anyone else. If she looks like Fine, she will grow up to be a pretty and cute child.

Fortunately, my Fine has strong genes to pass on to her children. It’s the first gift a parent can give their child.

“But it’s a little disappointing. Peddie won’t be able to see Buk-gu enter school, and she will graduate from the academy.”

With those words, she patted Fine’s stomach.

Pedi was born in 1379 by the sacred calendar, and this year is 1382 by the sacred calendar. When Bukbu is born, he will be 3 years older than Peddie, so even if Peddie enters the third year of the academy, Bukbu will not be able to step on the threshold of the academy.

Of course, below are the triplets, Friedrich, Alina, and Ferenc. A lot of new younger siblings are expected to appear in the North as well. So, the North won’t have to go to the academy alone and lonely, but it’s a bit weird for Mar’s first child and Fine’s first child to spend their school days without even seeing each other. We should spend our time looking at each other’s faces.

‘…I can’t ask Pedi to kneel for a year.’

It was a terrible idea that no human could do, so I quickly brushed it off.

He is the eldest son who received one year of paid salary after his father who is a preschooler. It’s a combination that makes my heart ache just imagining it.

“It’s okay. The three years at the Academy are just a fleeting moment compared to the time our children spend together. I don’t think either Peddie or Bukbu will become awkward because of the three years that have passed.”

And contrary to my worries, Fine smiled softly.

Because I trust Fedi, the eldest son of the Crasius family. Because he believes that his first child will be born soon.

“Well, that’s right.”

I also smiled because it was indeed a correct opinion.

Our children are young babies now, but over time, they will grow into mature adults. To my shame, I ended up worrying about my children who would become adults as if I were a baby.

Still, I have six wives who will stand by my side like this. Even if I go on a rampage or come up with strange parenting methods, the wives will stop me.

‘So just come out healthy.’

Because we prepared everything for you.

I received a call from the minister out of nowhere.

– When Fenelia starts giving birth, call me too.

“Yes?”

And with unexpected words.

Fine has started giving birth… Why are they calling the minister? Could it be that the Minister and Fine are distant relatives with the same ancestor? Or did I become Minister Finega’s adopted daughter without my knowledge?

Confusing. If you ask me to tell you right after Buk is born, then of course I will, but what if I ask you to call me during childbirth?

“…Why?”

-Fenelia doesn’t have any parents to protect her. Even though Duke Ma had passed away both of her parents before her, at least she had vassals who had been with him for decades. Fenelia has just received her title, so she doesn’t even have that.

“Ah.”

In the end, she couldn’t hold back her doubts and asked back, and she came back with a very convincing reason.

When Mar, Trixie, Rize, Rin, and Eri gave birth, an official came running to watch over them. After the birth of her, there were family members and retainers who would comfort the baby, thanking her for her hard work, and shedding tears of emotion as they looked at the newly born baby.

On the other hand, as the minister said, Fine has no one. His family left first, he has not yet developed a strong bond with his vassals, and the former Mukkwangdae is so busy with work that he has no time to spare.

Of course, the residents in the mansion were like Fine’s family, but didn’t they also congratulate other wives when they gave birth? There is a somewhat ambiguous feeling about being a Finneman person.

‘The minister also cared about Fine.’

Fortunately, when Fine was the head of Division 4 of the Inspection Department, just as I was attached to Division 4, the Minister also had great affection for and interest in Division 4. Thanks to this, the Minister remained a good person to Fine. He would be truly happy if you congratulate him on his first birth.

“I’ll call you right away, so you can’t be late.”

– If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have called until the end.

He only let out an awkward laugh at the minister’s point. If the Minister hadn’t spoken out first, he wouldn’t have been able to console the emptiness that Fine felt.

‘Is this age?’

It’s new, but a little surprising. Normally, he’s just a man with an odd age, but in times like this, he’s definitely an older person.

I am glad that the minister, who is over 50 years old, was not in vain.

***

I haven’t held anything with my hands lately.

“Ma’am! If you need anything, we’ll get it!”

Yuris runs with sparkling eyes when he needs something.

“Ma’am, here.”

Sophia makes tea quickly just by looking at the teapot.

To be honest, it’s a bit burdensome. It’s awkward for children like my younger siblings to call me Madame, but it’s understandable because it’s for the sake of order within the family and mansion. The children also changed their title to Madame because they like and follow me like an older sister.

But I can’t get used to completely blocking my actions. It feels like they see me as a sand castle that collapses at the slightest movement, or as a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch.

“Thank you.”

However, the children, whose faces were full of pride, said, ‘There is no need, so go back.’ I couldn’t say that coldly. I know that this is an expression of affection from these children, and that it is not only for me but also for the North in my arms.

“…Both of you, sit down. I’m bored drinking alone, so let’s drink together.”

That’s why I recommended Juris and Sophia to take a seat.

In any case, I decided that until I gave birth to Buk-i, these children would not work at the mansion and would only assist me. There is no problem with having such a small tea time.

“Then I’ll at least bring some cookies! Sofia stays with my wife!”

“This time I—”

Even before Sofia finished saying that she was leaving, Juris quickly kicked down her door and left.

It was so lively that it made me smile. Maybe Juris secretly wanted tea time too.

“Sophia.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Sit down first. You don’t want to stand until Juris comes, right?”

Only then did Sophia sit down awkwardly. She stroked Sophia’s head because her cuteness made her heart warm.

These kids will be good aunts to our North.
