774 – Pleasure Without Responsibility – 2

After finishing her honeymoon with Rize, her peaceful daily life continued. If you were to look for an event in that tranquility, wouldn’t it be that the relationship between Titi and Jenny is getting closer little by little?

Jenny was lying down calmly regardless of whether Titi came or not, but at some point, she began to wag her tail, even if only slightly, when she saw Titi. She even got up from her seat and approached Titi.

Anyone could see that Titi was an outsider to her – no, she considered Titi to be an outsider, but she seemed to regard her as a welcome guest. If this relationship develops a little further, wouldn’t it evolve from a close friend to a loving lover and ultimately to her lifelong companion?

“I just need to try a little harder.”

– Woof!

So when she stroked Titi’s head, Titi let out a clear cry with bright eyes like always.

Yes, TT would also be happy about this gradual development. She can’t help but be happy if her beloved Jenny welcomes her.

‘I’ll see the cub next year or the year after.’

Thanks to this, a happy smile came out. By then, my Titi will have married a very s*xy woman and she will have lots of cute children. It’s fun just to imagine it.

Rather, how should we celebrate Titi and Jenny’s marriage? It may be impossible to hold a wedding like a human, but it is the day when Titi, who is like family to us, gets her companion. I can’t just ignore such a beautiful day.

No, how should the wedding date for dogs be decided in the first place? The date of a person’s marriage can be decided among people, but what about the marriage of animals that cannot speak…

‘Can the date of first mating be considered the date of marriage?’

To my horror, I even had that thought. If Titi and Jenny fall in love, that is the day they will become a true couple. Wouldn’t it be nice to celebrate the union of the two right then?

No matter how much I think about it, I wish that day. Instead of getting excited for no reason, it would be better to celebrate Titi and Jenny’s marriage on a certain day.

“Knife!”

“Hmm?”

While I was imagining Titi and Jenny’s gorgeous wedding road, Mar came running to the garden at her mansion.

“Why? What’s going on?”

The cry was so urgent that I got up from my crouching position. Titi also began to whine as if she felt uncomfortable with Mar’s unusual appearance

“Well, I just got a call from my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law has started giving birth!”

“What?”

– Bruise?

And the information Marr delivered was truly unusual.

I assumed that the birth date was slowly approaching, but this was somewhat earlier than the expected date. I thought there would be news at least a few weeks later.

‘As expected, children can’t let down their guard.’

If you think about it, it is not strange no matter when children come into the world. It was extremely arrogant to calculate the birth date perfectly based on the standards of adults.

I have experienced six childbirths and have never been born on the due date. It came somewhat earlier or later than that.

“They say it just started, so you should go right away—”

“I’ll go first. I’m already worried, but if they suddenly come rushing in, I’ll be even more embarrassed.”

Since Mar was on the verge of running to the Crasius family mansion if I gave him permission, I calmly comforted him for now.

It is natural for families to flock to the birth of a child. However, Erich, the groom, must be panicking now. In such a situation, if many people flock together, Erich’s mentality will be shaken even more.

I know this well because I am experienced. Nowadays, it is more important to visit just a few people and comfort them rather than having all the family come together.

“Well, still… “

“I’m not saying you shouldn’t come at all. Erich will calm down in a few hours, and I’ll contact you then.”

Then Mar, whose eyes were shaking wildly, slowly nodded.

‘It’s about giving birth.’

She gathered her thoughts by hugging Marr lightly.

Unless Sarah gives birth extremely prematurely, she will naturally give birth to Zenobia. This is the moment when the child who will become the next Count Horfeld, who carries on the bloodline of the Crasius and Hiden families, is born.

And this is the moment when my nephew, who is not my child, my brother, or my goddaughter, is born. This is the moment when my first nephew descends into this world.

‘My nephew.’

Before I knew it, I started shaking too. It’s normal for me to be fine. It’s normal if only Erich falls, not me. Strangely, as soon as I recognized him as my nephew, I started to get nervous.

This is troublesome. If I get nervous, it becomes difficult to comfort Erich.

“Carl. It’ll be okay. Just like you’ve always been.”

When I started shaking, Mar, who was in my arms, patted my back

It’s just embarrassing that she suddenly received comfort.

I ran to the Crasius family mansion where Erich was living.

Due to the situation, I couldn’t meet any other employees except for the guard at the main gate. Even though it was a mansion built by the Imperial Baek family, she ran all the way to the birthing room without meeting anyone in the huge mansion.

“Erich.”

“Brother?”

As I headed towards the place where I felt like I was popular, I could see Erich anxiously pacing the hallway, Sarah next to Erich, and the employees surrounding the couple.

“Meet His Excellency the Count!”

“Meet the matriarch!”

“It’s okay. I’m here now for the well-being of my sister-in-law and my soon-to-be-born nephew, so don’t worry about the main character and focus on this situation.”

After waving at the employees who were all lowering their heads, I approached Erich and patted him on the shoulder.

“Congratulations. Now you too will become a father.”

Erich’s eyes fluttered wildly at those words.

You must be embarrassed and helpless. I can understand because I can’t get used to it even though I’ve experienced it six times. My wife is giving birth to my child. What kind of husband can be calm with her?

However, for Erich’s sake, I must maintain my composition as much as possible. Rather than making a fuss and telling people that it will be okay and that they should relax, it is important to say it as if it were ‘obvious’.

Just as time passes, a child is naturally born. Just as I will become a father in just a little while.

“I have eight children, but I don’t have any nieces or nephews. I was a little disappointed about that, but now I can let go of my resentment.”

“I have eight children and I am very greedy.”

The corners of Erich’s mouth began to soften little by little at my joke.

“It’s okay to be greedy like this. I can’t help but be greedy when I think that my first niece is going to be walking around looking for her uncle.”

She tried to say her birth name her, but couldn’t remember her her birth name her for a moment, so she quickly settled on her first nephew her her her.

As expected, I seem to be just as nervous as Erich. I never thought I would forget my name his and not just anything else.

‘If I ask, it’ll be awkward for both of us, right?’

To be honest, the current Erich probably doesn’t even know her her own name her, let alone her her real name her her. In that situation, asking pointless questions would only be bothering Erich.

“By the way, who did you contact?”

“Except my brother, the only people I have are my parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.”

It was exactly what I expected, so I nodded. There would be no one else to call in the first place.

“Maybe it’s because my brother is the only one staying in the system, but he came first. I feel relieved to have someone come.”

Erich smiled bitterly and continued speaking with his eyes still trembling.

I can fully understand how you feel. In fact, people outside the birthing room cannot provide any help to the pregnant woman in labor, but those waiting can provide comfort to each other. Even if I can’t be of help to Zenobia, I can be a comfort to Erich.

“Then since you came first, I guess I should at least give you a gift.”

“Huh?”

Leaving behind Erich, who tilted his head as if asking what she was saying, I approached her birth room and opened her door.

“We pray to our great Lord, Enen, who embraces all things with his brilliantly shining sun. Your Blessed One, I dare to ask you, please allow the woman fighting for a new life here to confidently achieve victory.”

And he rang out his prayer loudly so that everyone in the room could hear.

In times like this, if you don’t use the name Bokja, when will you ever use it? I also prayed tens or hundreds of times in my mind every time a woman went into labor.

“I ask the heavens that reign supreme and the plants and trees that beautifully turn over the earth. Please allow new life to grow under your protection.”

Eventually, he prayed to the eternal blue sky and Constantine.

There is no way to know how effective prayers to God will be. However, in a world where God exists and where divine power exists, if you have a connection with God, wouldn’t it be a good way to pray to God for well-being?

Blessed of the sun, honorary priest of the sky and benefactor of vegetation. I usually laugh at the title given to me, but I am willing to use it for my nephew.

“Do you feel at ease now?”

“A lot.”

When she finished her short prayer and turned her head, Erich smiled and bowed his head to me.

“Thank you. With the blessings of the three gods, even a child born weak will be born strong.”

“Thank you, uncle.”

Sera, who was confused by Erich’s thank you, also bowed her head.

I’m happy. If a short prayer can bring comfort to two people, there is nothing more beneficial.

“You just need to know how grateful you are. If your nephew is born healthy, don’t forget to donate.”

With those words, I hit Erich on the back and Erich fell to the floor.

The baby died. Although Erich is weaker than me, he is still a top-ranked warrior who is difficult to find a rival among his peers.

“Uh, uncle?”

“Huh?”

“Erich… I think you fainted?”

At Sarah’s words, I lowered my gaze to the floor.

Sadly, Erich was sprawled out on the floor without any movement.

‘What is this?’

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t open my mouth. Could it be that he was so nervous that he fainted even with such a light touch?

***

She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, her parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law were there. Even her sisters-in-law and nieces.

‘What is it?’

Apparently, customers who had not been there before came into view and I became suspicious. I definitely remember saying thank you to my brother, but I don’t remember anything after the dull shock.

But guess what? If you’re nervous, your memory may fade for a moment.

– Ehhh!

And then I heard a loud crying sound beyond the door. I wonder if my memory is that big of a deal.

“Your Excellency the Baron! You are a wonderful son!”

Eventually, the door to the birthing room opened and the long-awaited news came.

Weird. It’s definitely news I’ve been looking forward to, but why can’t I open my mouth?

“It’s okay to cry. It’s not strange to cry now.”

Still, his eyesight became blurry as his brother patted him.
