819 – Falling Like Snow – 3

Having a child is the best gift for all living things. Not only humans, the lord of all things, but even ordinary animals.

And you can’t even compare vaguely knowing it with your head and actually feeling it. Even before I got married, I knew that a child was the best gift, but when Pedi was held in Mar’s arms her, I felt an indescribable happiness. When she got out of my arms and came to us, she looked like she was in tears.

No, it’s not the same. Did you really cry? I’m so out of my mind that I can’t see anything. Moreover, I have only given birth six times.

In any case, the birth of a child is a happy event that you will never get used to or bored with, no matter how many times you experience it.

‘What is this?’

However, I think I wanted to surprise her father a little, a lot. She had no idea that the princess would come out the day after she was born. Should we consider it as Nar’s last act of consideration that she wasn’t born on the same day?

Okay, let’s think positively. If Nar had planned, he would have been born yesterday instead of today, and he would have tried to come out while I was out rather than after I returned home. If that were the case, I would have had to come home frantically with eight children. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

“I don’t even shiver anymore.”

“Ah, father-in-law.”

While I was staring blankly at the door to the birthing room, I heard familiar footsteps and the voice of my father-in-law from across the hallway.

I was definitely more embarrassed than nervous right now. Thanks to Nar, the anxiety and nervousness that had not subsided no matter how many times I experienced it disappeared. What a filial child.

“I have faith that Mar and our child will definitely be healthy. Being anxious means that we don’t trust our family.”

Aside from the small touches, I gave my father-in-law the most textbook and excellent answer. From the father-in-law’s point of view, it is a time for the birth of a new youngest grandchild. How disappointing would it be if the youngest son-in-law was preoccupied with another family’s child?

So don’t say that she was thinking of the princess, but let’s just press on with the answer that she believes in Marwanar. That’s good for both sides.

‘You came here quickly, perhaps because you retired.’

She felt strange when she saw her father-in-law running faster than anyone else. She knew very well that her father-in-law cared about Mar, but she did not know that she would come within 5 minutes of contacting her. Was she preparing for a 5-minute wait for the birth without anyone knowing?

“You are right. The first time you feel nervous is enough. After that, just trust your family and wait.”

While I was admiring the wondrous sight of the former duke’s five-minute wait, my father-in-law nodded as if he was satisfied with my answer.

Thank god. For a spontaneous answer, I got good results.

“Oeharabeoji!”

“Wow, we had a pedi too!”

Eventually, my father-in-law’s stern and serious expression melted in an instant as he greeted Pedi, who was next to me.

Is it because of my mood? Now that he has given up the title of Duke, he seems to be even more harmful than before. If it weren’t for his unique large size his, he would look like an ordinary maternal grandfather.

“Pedi, a new little brother will be born soon. Congratulations.”

“Wow! I have another little brother! I heard you came to see my little brother, and my family also has a little brother!”

“You came to see her brother?”

My father-in-law frowned slightly at Pedi’s words his his, then turned his gaze to me. As if to ask what this means.

“Yesterday, Her Royal Highness was born. Her Majesty is still in the process of gathering her body, so she said the official announcement will be made tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

“Huh.”

My father-in-law exclaimed in admiration at my answer.

“Did you already know something that wasn’t even officially announced?”

“Don’t I have a lot to go to the imperial palace?”

When she answered with a shy smile, her father-in-law clicked her tongue.

In fact, if it weren’t for me and Eri, she wouldn’t have known about it yet. The Empress’s honorary brother is in her mansion.

“Well, it’s okay. Rather, please tell the princess. If we and Nar are only a day apart, we will become good friends.”

“That’s right.”

She turned her gaze back to the tightly closed door of the birthing room.

The Crown Princess and the Prince are already living with our children like brother and sister. Of course, the princess who was born yesterday will be our children’s friend and sibling, but she also happens to have a child born a day apart? I think she sticks around like a soul friend.

‘Will we be friends of the opposite s*x or of the same s*x?’

It doesn’t matter either way, but if possible, I’d like them to be same-s*x friends. Since I have a son who looks like me, now it’s time for a daughter who looks like Mar.

Of course, a son who looks like Mar is also fine. Whether it’s a son or a daughter, they are both mine.

2nd Princess Caroline’s friend was decided to be a friend of the same s*x.

“Ehhh!”

A girl crying for the birthing room to leave, as a child who inherited the blood of both Crasius and Varenti.

A child born with very thin and short hair, similar to fluff, but this time also with Crasius’ black hair.

‘Does Mar match well with my genes?’

Other children are said to have been born with her mother’s hair, but strangely enough, the children born to Mar have black hair that resembles her father’s hers. It’s amazing.

“You worked hard, Mar. You’re a pretty daughter this time.”

“Hehe… I thought it would be good as long as my son or daughter was healthy, but I’m also happy to have a daughter. People’s greed is endless.”

Marr let out a small laugh and carefully raised his upper body

Unlike when she gave birth to Pedi, she received a spell that reduced her pain, and since it was her second birth, the birth was easier than before. Thanks to this, she can sit rather than lie down.

“Your father must be busy, so thank you for coming in person.”

“Why should I be too busy? Your brother and step-sister are doing all the preparations for the banquet.”

I burst out laughing at my confident father-in-law’s answer.

Currently, the Varenti duchy is preparing a banquet to commemorate her older brother’s ascension to the dukedom. It is a task that the Barenti Dukes must do with all their might, but my father-in-law is the previous head of the family, free from all restraints and restraints. She is a free person who does not need to be involved in troublesome family affairs.

Perhaps the fact that her father-in-law came alone without her mother-in-law was part of that. My mother-in-law is probably trying to help her because her older brother is in her eyes, but my father-in-law is not doing anything like that ─

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“I was thinking that since Iron Blood Lord protected me, my child would grow up to be as strong as my father-in-law.”

The corners of my father-in-law’s mouth rose at her reflexive flattery.

I lived as my father-in-law’s son-in-law for four years. Now I have reached a point where I can unconsciously pour out sweet words to my father-in-law’s ears.

Hehe…”

“Wow, it’s stopping quickly.”

In the meantime, Nar’s loud cries gradually faded away.

He’s an amazing kid. Doesn’t this mean that we will quickly pass the inevitable stages and enter the sleep stage where everyone can be peaceful? As expected, she was a dutiful daughter who carried us.

***

Is it a dream?

“Minister. What did you say just now?”

– Soshin also welcomed his small and precious youngest child yesterday. She is a beautiful daughter like Her Highness the Princess.

She blinked her eyes blankly at the minister’s words and then smoothed her chin.

Yesterday was the day the minister came to the imperial palace with his children. Unless I’ve been asleep for three or four days without realizing it, that’s definitely the case.

However, the minister who returned from seeing the princess also got to see his own child that very day. How elaborate this is.

“What an exquisite coincidence. Who would have known that the youngest member of the imperial family and the Crasius family would change within a day of each other.”

– Wouldn’t it be nice to think of it as a slightly belated New Year’s gift? It is a precious gift that cannot be obtained even if you sell your title.

“Hot, so is he.”

The sight of the minister discreetly expressed his wishes and he made me burst into laughter. Unless you always think about selling your title, there’s no way such a thing would come out naturally.

“So, what is the youngest child’s name?”

– It was named Julia.

“I see.”

Julia. Julia Crasius.

‘I’ll be a good friend.’

In a situation where all the children of the imperial family and the Crasius family are the princess’s older brothers or sisters, a child was born the same age as the princess, as if she had been waiting for it. It is unknown how many more children the minister will have within this year, but as of now, he is the princess’s only child of the same age.

No. Considering that her birthdays are one day apart, the relationship between the princess and Yulia may be special even if another person of the same age is born. Aren’t the genders the same?

“Once Yulia is old enough to go out, bring her to the imperial palace. She should at least greet the princess and her.”

– Yes, Your Majesty. I will do that.

While watching the minister bow her head, I suddenly thought of the princess next to her.

How will the Crown Princess, who is preoccupied with her daughter, react when she hears the news of Julia’s birth her her? She is happy about the birth of a new sibling, but how surprised she will be when she hears that she has a new sibling.

And after being surprised for a while, she would be torn between whether she should stay in the imperial palace or go to the minister’s mansion.

‘I guess I’ll have to hide it for a few days.’

It is cruel to give such a heavy and burdensome choice to the Crown Princess who is still young. To ensure a smooth selection for the Crown Princess, let her hide for a few days. Until the Crown Princess can fully communicate with her daughter and fully accept her new sibling.

‘Now that I think about it, Ainter will also see his child this year.’

First of all, it is certain that it is this year, but the approximate expected date of birth is unclear. As Barandi was quietly enjoying her honeymoon at the Marquis’s home, I only found out about her pregnancy several weeks later. Thanks to this, I remember having a bit of trouble calculating her due date.

I can’t remember the important due date. It’s true that a person’s memory is.

‘Anyway, that’s enough for this year.’

The princess, Julia, and Ainter’s child to be born this year.

I can vaguely see a future where those three will play hard at the academy.

…

“Minister.”

– Yes, Your Majesty.

“How many wives are pregnant right now?

– Two of you are coming.

The child of the princess, Julia, and Ainter. In addition, the minister’s two children will be born.

I can vaguely see a future where those five will play hard at the academy.

No. Considering that Ma Jong-gong gave birth to triplets, we cannot ignore the possibility of several being born at once.

‘Who will be the principal then?’

I don’t know who it will be, but in addition to the existing salary, I will have to provide various rewards.
