740 – Two Sons, Eight Daughters-in-Law – 3

The final wedding of Brother Crasius has begun.

A wedding held when both the bride and groom are 22 years old. It’s a bit late for a nobleman’s marriage, but considering my age when I first got married, Erich and Sarah are relatively early.

Moreover, the parties and officials have no regrets about being slightly late. I’m just happy that I got married.

‘The results are good enough to be regretful of being a little late.’

I looked at my parents and Sarah’s parents who were sitting at the very front of the guest room.

Due to this marriage, the Crasius family successfully completed the marriage of the second son following his eldest son. Except for the youngest, Teresa, all of the children started their own families, and even those families were the result of love marriages, not political arrangements. From the parents’ point of view, they have no choice but to be happy.

Not to mention Serra’s parents her her her her, Baron Zeigel and her her nanny her her her. Her only child and successor, Sarah, who objectively was not a good match for her due to her weak body, finally succeeded in getting married. It wasn’t a connection to a strange family, as if she had been sold, but to someone whom Sarah had been in love with since she was young.

Perhaps because of this, Baron Zaigel shook his shoulders periodically and appeared to be holding back tears, and the nurse repeatedly wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

‘It must have been a lot of emotional distress.’

I smiled bitterly without realizing it.

Two children were born to Baron Zeigel and his nanny. The eldest of them died when she was young, and the second, Sarah, lived in a frail state. It was a similar situation to when Rize lost her older sister and she herself was weak.

Maybe that’s why those tears felt even sadder and happier. Because I was able to understand, at least a little, how the baron and the nanny felt.

“Dad.”

While I was watching the wedding, Peddie, who was in my arms, spoke in a quiet voice.

“Why are you doing that?”

His voice was barely audible to the people sitting at the same round table, and it made me smile.

Our amazing and smart pedi. I also knew how to whisper softly out of fear of disturbing my uncle’s wedding.

She is so consider that it is hard to believe that she is a child.

“Little Appa is almost getting married?”

“What?”

However, unlike the small voice, the question was far from considerate.

During a wedding, you ask about the next wedding. No, she’s asking someone whose last wedding is how many times they’re getting married.

“Huh.”

“Big. Big.”

At this surprising question, Rize and Rin, who were sitting at the same round table, desperately suppressed their laughter.

“…This is my little dad’s last wedding. I won’t have any more.”

“Huh? Little Appa, this is the second time. Why don’t you change it twice?”

Pedi’s eyes sparkle as if she is suspiciously questioning.

I couldn’t bear to say to Pedi, ‘It’s normal to have a wedding only once.’ She couldn’t do it. Then she has abnormal parents.

“Did your dad marry you instead of your dad?”

“Pfft… Hmm…”

Before we knew it, Eri also began to burst into laughter.

“Dad, you said you were the older brother, so you took away the younger brother’s?”

She looked closely and saw that Mar, Trixie, and even Fine were looking desperately straight ahead, biting their lips.

It was a shame that the guest seating was divided into several round tables. If it had been straight and long like church chairs, it would have been a disaster.

‘What should I do with this…’

Of course, the only thing that ended up being an attempt was a catastrophe. My heart was torn apart by Pedi’s innocent attack.

This is why it is said that parents are the mirror of their children. I ended up indoctrinating Peddie with her strange common sense.

“Our Pedi. Titi, Jangsaeng, Humility… Isn’t it fun to play with kids like that?”

“Ungh.”

“It would be nice to play a lot at once, but I don’t do that.”

“Ugh. “My younger brothers should sing too.”

“Marriage is like that. It’s a good thing, so if you do it a lot, you’re happy, but if you do it alone, other people can’t do it. So the number of times is different for each person.”

“Is that so?”

No. Not at all.

No one does it a lot because they like the act of marriage itself, and no one says that if they do it a lot, others say they can’t do it. The only thing that is true about what I just said is that the number of times varies from person to person.

“Well, that’s it.”

However, Pedi is still young. Since I have to explain it from Pedi’s perspective as much as possible, I cannot sincerely say things like, ‘Marriage is a social art where love and politics are appropriately combined.’ We need to mention the numbers that pedis are familiar with and that are easy for pedis to accept, and embody, ‘Anyway, the number of times is different for each person.’

It’s a bit of an odd analogy, but it’s enough for now. ‘Why did you get married more than my uncle?’ ‘It’s normal for the frequency to vary!’ It must be covered with this thought. Detailed knowledge can be taught when Pedi grows older.

“Then I want to get married.”

“Huh?”

“If it’s good, my younger siblings should do it! I can do it once!”

She blinked her eyes blankly at those words and then burst out laughing.

I’ve seen someone declare to be single a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone declare that they’ll get married just once for the sake of her younger siblings.

“Okay. If a pedi wants to do it once, she only does it once.”

I patted Pedi’s head and supported her decision.

Following my father who is monogamous and me who is six wives, Fedira is monogamous again.

‘Is my grandson returning to his sixth home?’

It was a series of amazing atavisms that made me a little scared.

No. If you include Hecate, your grandson could also be your seventh wife.

Although there was a small commotion thanks to Pedi, Erich and Sarah’s wedding ended smoothly.

This is Crasius, who has held eight weddings in just four years. Due to this tremendous experience, the Count Crasius family became the second-highest marriage expert family among the noble families within the empire.

Of course, the first place is the Duke of Oshiden of the Golden Ball. No matter what you do, you can’t win there.

“Congratulations on your wedding.”

Anyway, a kiss promising eternal love, enthusiastic applause from the guests, and flower rain pouring from the sky.

In the midst of the Trinity, which no one can see as symbolizing a successful marriage, he approached Erich and offered him well-wishes.

“Congratulations to Sera. No, now I will call you Mr. Jesus instead of your name.”

“Thank you, uncle.”

Seeing Sarah smiling brightly made me feel like crying again.

How hard did I work to succeed Erich and Sarah? If you can’t eat this, you’re not a human being. If you do this and there’s no progress, you’re not a human head. If you do this and it doesn’t work, you’re an animal. How many times have I repeated those words to myself?

Finally, the painful efforts paid off. Erich, who had kissed her goodbye, shared her wedding kiss with Sarah.

“Are you crying?”

“Be quiet.”

It was the last reason that didn’t add, you b*stard. I couldn’t bear to stick my fist into the new groom’s solar plexus in front of the new bride.

“I’m resting well for the time being. Considering there’s no news yet, the Laterer wedding will be in late fall at the earliest.”

And quietly whispered in Erich’s ear.

Erich plans to go to Juven in a personal capacity when Laterer gets married and congratulate him by mentioning that they were friends from the academy. Going on a business trip abroad while newlyweds is a terrible thing, but luckily I have a few months to spare.

“Then you can’t be next to me when your first child is born?”

However, despite having a few months of free time, Erich muttered as if he was confused.

That’s definitely a problem. Erich, like me and his father, was a healthy child, so Zenobia safely gave birth without a word. If Later’s wedding takes place in late fall or winter, Erich can give birth while he is in Juven.

However, it is difficult to go abroad with a pregnant wife.

“If you have time, come back to the teleport.”

Therefore, she calmly told Erich the solution.

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Anyway, it’s not an official envoy mission, I’m going in a personal capacity. Who’s going to say that I’m coming back because something happened at home?”

“No, but His Majesty… “

“It is not a mission that risks the fate of the nation, so Your Majesty will understand.”

If you don’t understand, just go to Taeyangjeon and give a damn.

If it were just Erich suffering, I would be confident to stand by his side and watch, but if it involved my sister-in-law Zenobia and her first niece, it would be a different story. How sad it would be if the head of the household were absent the moment the first child was born.

The emperor also wants to send Erich because he wants to further establish a clear relationship between the empire and Juven, and does not consider it a wish that must be carried out.

‘It doesn’t matter if you think of it as a long-cherished wish.’

If your relationship with Juven is more important than the bullshit of the Minister of Inspection, choose Juven.

“…Hey, bro. Then─”

“If you don’t have a reason, don’t even dream.”

“Damn.”

I firmly stopped Erich from eating her raw food.

If this brother has no justification, he must behave like a dog under the emperor’s orders, but how dare someone like Erich try to get rid of him?

‘There’s no way around it.’

Unless it’s time for childbirth, even if the emperor tries to remove you, I will stop it.

“Then I’ll just leave. Have a good time.”

Still, if I talked any further about work, my new husband would be in a bad mood, so I quietly backed away.

Moreover, Erich’s father-in-law and mother-in-law, Baron Zeigel, and the nanny were approaching from the other side. My brother shouldn’t interfere with my private time with my wife’s family.

‘He is a beloved son-in-law.’

Baron Zeigel repeatedly lowered his head while holding Erich’s hand. The nanny hugs Sarah and pats her back.

It was such a heart-warming sight that I felt sorry to disturb it, so I decided to hold on to Erich’s father and mother for a moment.

Even if the relationship between in-laws is good, sometimes the in-laws need time alone.

“Maybe it’s because the weather is sunny, so I can catch a lot of fish. Will they catch me soon and launch a boat?”

“A boat? Is there even a need for that?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a small ferry boat? It’s nice to fish while smelling the grass and dirt, but sometimes it’s also nice to enjoy it on the water.”

“Hmm. Well.”

She turned her head while watching Billy and Carl talking about fishing.

Laura and Baron Zeigel are still in tears. Erich doesn’t know what to do and Sarah is smiling shyly.

‘Is it okay to be this happy?’

The corners of her mouth her her her rose automatically. Right next to her, a father and son share the same hobby, and in front her, her second son can be seen receiving a lot of love from his wife’s family.

Happy. Just a few years ago, I couldn’t even dream of seeing something like this.

‘Now all I have to do is Teresa grow up healthy.’

Our precious youngest child, Teresa. Please grow up and become a happy mother and father.
