773 – Pleasure Without Responsibility – 1

Two days after leaving her guestbook in the Saleria sky, she was ready to return home as scheduled.

During those two days, Lise also gave Rodesa a gift. Fortunately, instead of dropping a meteor in the air like her teacher Trixie, she gave her a small gift of homemade cookies and cake. Since this is a job that requires you to stay in your room and use your brain, does sweet dessert help?

Rodesa was quite happy to receive the gift, as if she wasn’t saying it would be helpful out of courtesy.

“Where else can I taste a dessert made by a nobleman himself? I wish I could cast a spell to preserve it forever, but I can’t do that when he gives me something to eat!”

Her reasons for being happy are a little different, but the fact that she is happy doesn’t change. I’m glad it’s a gift you like.

‘It was okay until the end.’

In this way, Rize exchanged greetings with the two authors she liked, received a promise that our story would be turned into a novel, gave her all kinds of information to help her write smoothly, and gave her a gift before saying goodbye. I spent my schedule to the fullest so that I would not have any regrets even if I returned to the Empire right away.

To be honest, it was more of a writing trip than a honeymoon, but neither I nor Rize had any complaints. This is also a precious memory that only the two of us can experience.

“If I have a second child, I think I’ll name her Lia.”

And it’s a monumental day when Rize and I have a new child.

Of course, it is still unknown whether Rize has life or not. However, given the pattern so far, I am confident that Rize will have a second child. Maybe it’s because I’ve received the blessings of the three gods, but when I work hard, the gods also generously give me life.

“Didn’t you say it was going to be autumn leaves?”

“Autumn leaves are nice, but… It’s a city filled with memories of my brother and I, right? If possible, I want to remember those memories through my name.”

Hehe, Rize laughed, grabbed my sleeve, and whispered very softly.

“So, Maple uses it when she has a third child.”

He also whispered something very provocative.

Thanks to this, I burst out laughing. How can you dream of a third when you are not even sure about the second? Should we view this as being overly greedy, or should we say it is overflowing with motherly love?

“I need to work hard to prepare the property that Lia and Maple will inherit.”

I also spoke into Rize’s ear her, and her face bloomed like a cherry blossom.

‘Three.’

At the same time, I imagined the future of the great Crasius family.

There is no way the other wives would sit still while Rize gives birth to three children. If each of his six wives had three children, he would have eighteen children. FC Crasius can be created with 11 starting players as well as 7 reserve players. If Erich puts in a little effort, he can even have his own match of 11:11.

It is a future that makes one shiver just by imagining it. A family that includes over 20 children from two brothers. It is a wonderful achievement that no one can surpass except for the overwhelming number one known as the Golden Ball.

‘…What will happen if I have grandchildren?’

Meanwhile, I was a little worried as I thought about the future further than FC Crasius. If this goes wrong, won’t there be a disaster where the names of the grandchildren are confused? That’s very difficult.

I can’t help it. From now on, let’s decide the names of our grandchildren in advance. If you make about 50 of them, you will be able to successfully face the future decades from now.

A grandfather who is unfazed even when his little grandchildren flock to him. A grandfather who speaks his name well even when brothers and sisters who look alike at him.

‘It’s the best.’

In my opinion, he is the coolest grandfather in the empire. If you add a little pocket money to it, your grandchildren will be thrilled.

“Brother? Why are you doing this?”

As I started to smirk to myself, Rize tilted her head as if she was puzzled.

“For a moment, I imagined Leah walking.”

“What? She wasn’t even born yet.”

I smiled awkwardly when I saw Rize laughing.

‘I imagined giving pocket money to my grandchildren.’ I didn’t have the courage to say that.

Not long after arriving at the island, a call came from the emperor. Since I had a rough idea of the reason, I obediently headed to Taeyangjeon,

“Is the minister here?”

“Oh, Minister of Inspector General. You returned home today.”

Not only the Emperor but also the Minister of Foreign Affairs welcomed me.

‘Was there a Minister of Foreign Affairs?’

I flinched for a moment without realizing it. Even though I can be honorable in front of the Emperor, I cannot do so to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Honestly, if my biography is made into a novel, it will be able to promote ‘the northern part of its heyday and the empire that defeated it’. This is also beneficial to the emperor, so the emperor and I are a temporary alliance only for this matter.

On the other hand, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has no interest in this matter. There is no reason to be proud that the prestige of the empire is increasing like that of an emperor, and there is no point in leaving one’s story in a book like I did.

Nevertheless, the Minister of Foreign Affairs suffered damage because of this incident. I had to do my best to persuade the Balcross Ministry of Foreign Affairs to allow Sky Slash to be used in other countries.

“Thanks to His Majesty and the Minister’s concern, we were able to return safely.”

So I respectfully bowed my head to the emperor and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

With courtesy to the emperor. With sincere apologies to the Minister.

“Oh, thank you for worrying about me. It’s a shameful thing to say. Who on this continent would be worried that someone could harm the minister? In fact, I was secretly hoping that the minister wouldn’t bring a travel gift.”

When I saw the Minister of Foreign Affairs laughing, I felt even more guilty.

On the outside it was a normal joke, but the inside was anything but peaceful. Roughly speaking, ‘I helped you enter the country because you said you were going on a honeymoon, so isn’t it too much to repay me by slashing the sky?’ Because it was a lament.

Sorry. I’m sorry… I didn’t know that I would be splitting the sky in a foreign country…

“Do we have to have a reason to exchange gifts between me and the minister? If I have something to give to the minister, I should give it to him at any time.”

As he answered with a smile, the sadness in the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ eyes became a little more relaxed.

He said he would lend a helping hand at any time as an apology for this incident. At least it will be worth the hard work the Minister of Foreign Affairs has put in.

“This is true. How should I react if two ministers collude openly in front of me?”

“I apologize, Your Majesty. I will take responsibility and step down—”

“Please take a seat before making me the permanent chairman of the council.”

“Yes.”

He quietly sat down in response to the emperor’s stern warning.

It’s a shame. It was a golden opportunity to retire legally.

“Phew, Minister. What’s wrong with being the Chairman of the Imperial Council? It’s an honorable position that other nobles can’t hold even if they want to.”

“It’s so glorious that I don’t even dare to look at it.”

At those words, the Foreign Minister’s smile grew even deeper.

Thank god. I think my sad feelings have calmed down a lot.

“More than that, Minister. Thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we went from Balcross to heaven. Did we get results worth our efforts?”

Following the Emperor’s words, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also quietly looked at my face his. He seemed to hope that he and his subordinates would achieve good results after working hard.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Allen was thrilled and promised Sosin the best work, so it couldn’t be better than this.”

“Is that so? Then you’re lucky.”

“I also handed over the sword that cut down the sky to Allen. Even if the oath I made to Sosin fades, I will remember it again when I see that sword, so it is an oath that will remain with Allen forever.”＜ Br＞

Then the emperor flinched for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“Valcross will soon announce a new national treasure. “What is written on that sword?”

“It is written that a sword can kill a man with one swing, but a pen can destroy a nation with one stroke.”

“You wrote something amazing this time.”

I just laughed awkwardly because it was a sentence that I thought would have a huge impact.

Still, it is a sword to be given to a great writer of a cultural powerhouse. It can be called a gift if you write some text-related phrases.

***

The incident came without any warning.

It was clearly a day no different from usual until an hour ago. I had a normal lunch, drank tea normally, checked on Bia’s physical condition, and took a normal walk in the garden with Sarah.

It was a day no different from yesterday, nothing special. It was definitely like that.

“Huhhh—!”

“Rain, rain!”

“Sister!”

But that routine was suddenly broken.

From the moment Bia clutched her stomach and let out her moans. From the moment Bia made her impression while breaking out in a cold sweat.

It felt like her hair was turning completely white. The information coming into her eyes and ears she did not reach her head her her her.

What should I do? What should I do? It seems like the baby is about to come out, and it looks like our first child is about to come out. What should I do?

“Your Excellency the Count!”

“Gather His Excellency! Call all those on standby!”

However, before I could open my mouth, the maids who were taking care of Bia began to shout so loudly that the mansion was evacuated.

‘Ah.’

I remembered. Those maids were the maids sent by Sarah’s brother right after he married her. They are experts who are skilled in caring for pregnant women, so they will handle the birth smoothly as well. Even if I just suck my fingers absentmindedly, I’ll take care of it.

At that time, I thought my brother was worried for no reason. It wasn’t an unnecessary worry, it was the experience of the expert.

“Your Excellency the Baron!”

“Uh, huh?”

“Count Horfeld, we will take you to the delivery room right away! You have been preparing for the birth for several weeks, so the medical staff will come right away!”

She nodded, feeling dumbfounded by her maid’s spirit.

“And if it’s okay with you, I’ll contact your family—”

“Well, let me do that.”

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

As soon as she heard my answer, the maid ran across her hallway.

She still feels dizzy. It feels like a storm has passed.

No. The storm hasn’t passed, it’s just begun.

‘Contact family…’

With her trembling hands, she pulled out the communication device in her arms and missed it.

A communication device falls on the floor and rolls violently. Fortunately, it wasn’t cracked, but the communication port rolled away.

‘I’m going crazy.’

She sighed as she looked at her trembling hands.

How did you survive this six times?
